samples of the coal and careful dgur-
ing by expert. Over 100000 tons were
bought. The prices ranged about as III

f. Iowa equal suffragists are going right
after each and every one of the state
conventions to secure a plank in each
platform pledging the state to submis-
sion of an amendment to the constitu-
ton to the voters. The executive
board of the state association has
named a committee to present this to
the republican and democratic state
conventions, and they have assurance
the progressive party convention in
session here today will favor women
suffrage. The plea is that no party
now can afford to deny the right of
the women to have this matter sub
mitted to a vote of the people.
Watermelons ought to be cheaper.
Thanks to the railroad commission, one
expense in connection Herewith has
been eliminated. The commission house
will not have to crate the melons when
they are shipped.
According to the statements of the
commission men who appeared before
the railroad commission to protest
against the rule Of the carriers FOR
Grating. all melons. the cost of Grating
would be about so cents dozen, OF
3 cents each for the melons. They
said the melons could not be Grated in
lots OF more than q dozen with safety.
The rule for Grating would mean an
addition of S cents each for the melons
to the consumer.
But the railroad commission ordered
the rule modified and the melons go
without Grating and take a slightly
higher rate than if Grated.

There were very few chemicals ex-
ported from Holland to Great Britain
before the war began" says a London
paper. "A comparison of the customs
bill of entry for 1913 and 1914 for
London, Liverpool and other large
ports shows that Holland as an ex-
porter of chemicals is attaining an i'm
portance hardly warranted by her pro-
ductive capacity. Greater activity on
the part of Dutch manufacturers may
be contributory cause. but is reason
to believe that Dutch purchases from
Germany rather than home production
are enabling Holland to fill the gap in
our imports.
