for market We load here at ll.30 n
m, and they are on the market at 2
O'Clock a. m. the next morning. We
are 81 miles from Sioux City aud il is a
wonderfully good business town To
give you an idea, last week they held
their automobile show and over one mil
hon dollars worth Of cars were sold. |
don t think there is another town in the
United States, with population Of
! $4,000 people, that could sell that
amount in six days. The farmers here
are all rich.
In this part of Iowa the land is going
to sell for $3.50 to $500 an acre the
coming three years. Northwestern
Iowa and Southern Minnesota is the
best agricultural country on the contin-
ent. Just think of the state of Iowa
raising a crop in 1913 worth one billion
OF dollars. We lead all states in horses,
hogs and corn. We lost thirty-three
million dollars worth Of hogs in 1918
from the hog cholera and still we lead
all states. The cholera is all gone now
1t is ten years since we lost any hogs
before.
There were forty horses shipped from
here last Saturday. | wish YOU had
seen them all heavy draft horses,
weighing from 1900 to 1900 los. No
more drivers all automobiles - over 200
cars in the city Of Storm Lake and over
200 owned by farmers who trade in
Storm Lake. You ought to be here on
Saturday We make them all back
their cars against the sidewalk our
street is 100 feet from curb to curb ..
then when any one wants to 20 he can
get out. There is not driving horse
IN the city. We even use automobiles
for funerals. We have not had any
sleighing this winter-no snow. Not a
sleigh has been on the street.
Cummins ia not going to be elected
governor this fall and the democrats
are going to elect governor in Iowa
as sure rs the sun rises in the east.
All tho republican sports are offering

Minis is a dead horse.

on his books from 30 days 10 i2 months and sometimes always. Why Worry AbOut Monev


 Why should people worry so much amout ho wthey can eat or because some one else makes some money. 1 fail to see so much in the value of money. There are other things in life much more beau tiful to think about. Our American peo- pie are bunch of greedy, jealous ma terialists They talk about their friends all the time instead of devoting their time to something worth while.
 Talk about the war in Europe. Those people are peace loving citizens con,- pared with us. They have been oppressed for centuries by religious fanatics, ..oli- tics, and despotic rulers, yet there IS more happiness today in some little town ifl sunny France than in our beloved city. It would be a real pleasure to be shot down on the battle field while filled witt, patriotic feeling, rather than battle day in and day out in the business world try ing to explain to people that we are en- titled to what is honestly due us.
 This condition of affairs is responsible for Americas failure to keep pace with Europe in scientific discoveries music. paintings and the other fine arts and ac- complishments, which after all are tle only things wort hliving for Most of us love our native country best, but we might as we'll be frank and own up to the truth.
 Let us stop blaming our friends for ev- erything. Our first duty to everyone Is to attend to our own affairs and stop med- ding with the other fellow. Why can't we listen to birds singing instead of owls hooting. This big world is full of pleas ures for all of us, if we will only open our eyes. Suppose we devote our time to things more elevating than kicking at everything. Just a few acts of kindness toward those with whom we come in cor : tact will cause us oexperience the most delightful sensations of existence and after trying it out we will never cuss the TOM PANKEY.
