High prices for fyarm products are
said to constitute the greatest single
factor in this Increase. E~ighty-cent
corn and good prices for farm crops
generally bring in heavy deposits in
country banks.

CELEBRATION al HAMPTON.
Community Christmas Week Filled
With Delightful Programs.

Special to Times Republican.
Hanlpton. Dec s-No% thai
Christmas is over Hampton can look
back to the past week with pride. The
various clubs of the city and all OF the
churches have put their shoulder TO
the wheel. and the result Is that we
have madeAa success of community
Christmas week. The school children
have taken a great interest in the work
and have carried out their part in the
various programs splendidly. The
members of the F. c. D. Club rendered
a program. consisting of the old songs.
at the Star Theater, which was great
ly appreciated. The ladies' choir of the
Christian church took ii upon them
selves to go about town and sing to all
the shut-ins and these splendid ladies
are to be commended for the music
which they furnished to those wno are
sick and afflicted.N
On Saturday afternoon preceding
Christmas the business men enter
tanned the public by turning loose about
fifty chickens and turkeys from the
roof of the Hotel Rule. and those who
were lucky enough to be in the front
row had an opportunity to get a chick
en-. The turkeys put up somewhat
more of a chase than the chickens, but
were all captured before getting more
than two blocks from the starting
place. Santa Claus then came upon the
scene in h;s~automobile and every lady
and school child in the crowd was
presented with a half pound box of
candy. Needless to say that the chill
dren were all well pleased. and none of
them will have to say that Santa didn't
bring them anything. We all hope for
many more demonstrations of the com
munity Christmas in our midst.

A NOT CRIPPLED.
Service on Border to Have No Great
Effect on Organization.

Special to Times Republican.
<Des Moines, Dec. 26.-Adjutant Gem
eral Logan, who has had many years
of experience with the Iowa National
Guard, does not believe the disaffection
which has been expressed by many OF
the returning guardsmen with service
in the guard. will seriously cripple the
guard. On their retu from the bor-
der many of the men have stated that
they are thru with the guard and will
not r~e-enlist or take the new federal
oath Which is TO be required OF all who
remain in the service.
I'VE had the same talk on the return
Of the boys from the Spani"h-Amer-
lean war; declared General Logan.
.'And yet many OF the boys remained
In the service. In spite OF the many
hardships and trials in the life OF u
guardsmen there are many of u best
young mem to whom the life of a soE-
der appeals. They do not want TO
give all Of their years to such service
but they are real patriots and nave
spirit Of real soldiers. And they
stick to the guard.
There is always Il certain per ceh.
OF course, who drop OUT, especially just
after a period of service such as the
boys had had down On the border. II
was a disappointment to many of them
TO see real service on the border.
They felt as tho they were doing buL
little good for the government or Tor
themselves. The men in an army like
10 accomplish things, just as men do
IN other affairs. Ii they can do some
thing which appeals to them as worth
while. no matter what the persona!
they feel better
1t is the general feeling among Ma
tional Guard officers that he regular
army officers will always take advan-
tlge of any opportunity they have to
make service in the guard unpopular.
They have always a~ntagoniZed the
guard, officers here say and always
will. The regulars in fact believe thar
militia system is the wrong sys-
TEN thru which to build up an army.
The guards also claim that the reg
ulars are more successful in securing
advantageous legislation at Washing
than the state mihtias. This gives
the regulars a big advantage say the
guardsmen.
