Meaning Of Success.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: One Of the
great authorities on finance explains
that not Ave per cent Of the people are
financially successful. That depends
somewhat upon the meaning Of the
phrase financially successful" II 1t
means millions, steam yachts, ETC., per-
haps the great authority may be right.
if it means enough to lead simple
healthy life. without worry and with
out work at an age when work really
does become burden, then the man
is entirely off the track-at least so
far as Iowa is concerned.

for one hundred farmers from ILL

here, were being prepared today. Five
hundred Chicago grocers will also be
called to testify in the food probe.
With the summoning of the farm
ers and retailers, the grand jury will
have called before it every one from
producer to consumer Though whose
hands foodstuffs pass.
No Desire to Punish.
NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-Something
better than boycott as a means of
result of the federal investigation
now under way, the investigators
hoped today. That their desire is to
find way TO put prices on a proper
level rather than to punish any in
dividual, was explained by federal
officials.
ut would be a sad commentary on
our laws if we have to advise the
public to starve," said Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Markevich. That's
what boycott means.
THE food spectators would not
feel alarmed over boycott; they
would simply keep their stuff little
longer in their warehouses. The only
ones to suffer would be the small
dealers, who are injured as much by
the practice of the sharks as the
general public is. The boycott might
drive the small dealer out of bust
MSS, but that is about all it would
do"
