 The National bank made hit when it introduced the Christmas club idea in this city. The first year but $500 joined, but when pay day came and other saw how finely the plan worked out, it Was no trouble at all to start the ball rollins for another twelve months The result is now shown in a membership of 1000 and with prosperity smiling on the city as it is today next years club should es- tablish another record.

Besides Will had So. plac


 Besides Will had So. place in his name.
 Mrs. Hart died June 9th, 1913. There was not a thing to do after the So. place was transferred to Will in January, 1915, in order to settle up the estate, and he let it run on until June, 1915 at which time girls asked if he would not settle up the estate. When ths was done, there was plenty of money in the bank in the name of the estate to pay the balances due and Will also received some clash at this time. Naoma and Ethel have, since June 1St, placed waivers on their mort sages so that he could increase tho first mortgage on So. place from $1.- 500 to $2.000. From this extra $500 he applied s250 toward Ethels $500 mortgage and $50 toward Naoma's $500 mortgage and he had S2OO in cash for his own use making ac- tually $3,S13.53 which he has had in cash.
 We fail to see how the daughters forced him, after he had let the es- tate run for two years.
 They do not wish to have any ar guments either in the papers or else where, and further libels in the pa- pers will not be answered. This state ment is given simply to clear the names of the daughters and their mother.

INCREASE IN COST
Of DRUGS

"Some of our best professional
invalids have experienced sud dden re-
covery recently and we have reason
to believe the experience was super
induced by the prices of presorip-
tions." remarked a New York physi-
clan.
The big drug firms, in spite of
increasing prices on some drugs
more than 800 per cent, cannot sup
ply the demand because there is no
supply.
Quinine has jumped from 80 cent.
to $2.25 am ounce, glycerine from
20, to 5S cents a pound, cod liver
oil from $40 to $50 a barrel, sage
from to 35 cents pound. Sweet
herbs, bromides, potassium perman-
ganates, olive oil, sarsaparilla and
many other drugs have gone way
up. Some drugs cannot be obtained
for love, money nor Influence.

JOURNAL NEEDS THE
ROOT OF ALL EVIL

One of the delicate features of
amy business, and one that every
business firm breads, is that of ask
ing its friends and patrons for
money.
The Journal doesn't like to do it
either; but there is an aching void
in it's e&chequer, and it knows no
other way than to put the matter
up to you personally.
Suppose you had to collect sepa-
rately for every bushel of corn you
sell. That is just what newspaper
has to do; and the truth is that
it causes lots of worry and many
gray hairs.
Your account is little, we know,
and you would probably hardly miss
the money. But will you not see
that it is placed in the list OF
those that are paid up? And will
you not do it now? Remember that
only real necessity causes us to
make an urgent request of this
kind.
Sincerely yours,
The Journal.

AT THE
C.R.|.P.RY.CO. DEPOT

The Improvements the railway COM
pany are making at the depot is of
substantial character and worthy
OF the efforts of that great system.
The widening of the crossing near
the depot is an improvement that
has, been long needed and now it
mas been accomplished is appre-
clated by everyone.
The FILLING in of the low places
around the depot, with cinders is
another improvement that is highly
useful by the patrons Of the COM
pany and the public at large.
Truly the company is mindful
of the comforts of The City Beauti-
ful. And now that we have been SO
favored, We would respectfully ask
the company for new depot that
is adequate to the great needs of
our people. Our council has recently
extended the electric lights to the
depot for the convnience of the
travellers, but the depot privileges
are deplorable.

istics compiled by the state dairy
and food commission This is a
decrease of 3,169,125 pounds or
3.4 per cent as compared with the
preceding twelve months.
The falling off in the production
of butter is attributed by the de-
partment's officials to the dry
weather which prevailed during the
first half of the fiscal year. They
believe, however, that the present
year will more than make up the
decrease just recorded.
Fayette County Leads.
Fayetty County is the champion
butter producing center of Iowa.
This county produced 3,641,7O2 II
The other 'eadins counties, in the
order named are: Clayton, $685.
'359 pounds; Bremen, 2,s37.555
and Delaware, 2,S27,9322.
Woodbury. county in which Sioux
City is located, and Polk county,
in which Des Moines is located, are
not given first place on the list
notwithstanding The actual figures
shown them to lead because of the
fact that the most of the butter
they sent out was made at CEN
tralized creameries.
Big Output From Woodbury..
Woodbury. produced 10,394,9S6
pounds of butter; Polk, 1851, ,469.
The price of butter during the
year averaged 1929 cents pound,
which is a slight increase over
the preceding year.
Commissioner Barney says Bremen
county ranks first in the produc-
tion of butter, based ON the square
mile. 1t is a small county and there
fore finished third in the list of
counties not having a centralized
creamery.
