IOWA'S BUSINESS
CONDITIONS GOOD
Banks Full Of Money and Farmers
are Selling Products at
Good Prices.

Business conditions in Iowa this
spring are unusually good according
to all the evidence by which such
conditions can be judged. The banks
have plenty Of money. Farmers who
have cattle and hogs for sale are re-
ceiving top notch prices for them
with cattle selling around $40 per
hundred and hogs the highest they
have been in long time. The
weather is considered favorable thus
far for crops as no unseasonably
warm weather has been experienced
as sometimes occurs in March and
the soil is in nice condition for plant
growth when the warm weather
comes.
A. o. Wolever, chief bank exam
liner, said Saturday, according to the
Des Moines Capital, after short trip
over the state that Iowa banks are
full of money.
THE farmers are selling their
stock at high prices and receiving
good profits on their Investments as
well as a good price for the corn
they have fed and this in increasing
the money in the banks" said Mr..
Wolever. II saw a man this past
week who said he had just made
$1,000 more than he had expected to
make on his cattle and hogs by hold

KIDNEY DISORDERS
QUILKAY RELlGV ID

Wilkinson & Co., the popular drug
gists have established a new record
in the sale of medicine. They say
they don't believe any medicine ought
to be paid for unless it does the user
some good and they have adopted
the plan of selling Solvax. the stand
ard kidney remedy, under positive
guarantee of quick relief from all
kidney or bladder misery, or money
back without a question. This speaks
eloquently for the virtues of the
remedy that already has created such
a widespread demand in Keokuk.
Hundreds Of people in every walk Of
life have been relieved Of the asonies
attendant on weak, disarranged or
clogged-up kidneys and bladder by
this remarkable remedy. 1t is not
lust merely kidney treatment, it is
a medicine that puts the entire, pain
racked body into normal condition
and gives vigorous health after the
many painful disorders caused direct
" or indirectly by sick kidneys. A
change for the better will be seen
after the first few doses of Soivax
and its continued use will soon tone
I'D the entire system of improperly
working organs and give you the de-
sire to live and enjoy life to it's
fullest.
solvax is considered the best kid
ney remedy on the market today be-
cause it aims to cure by striking di-
rectly at the cause of all the trouble.
The many pains and aches caused by
improperly working kidneys cannot
be permanently cured unless the
cause is removed.
Solvax is sold under a positive
guarantee to refund the money if it
does not cure. This is the strongest
proof that can be offered as to the
merit of the medicine. You are cheat
ing yourself out of your slice of life
IL you don't give Solvax chance.

New York Newspaper Man In Burllng-

lon That Amendment viii

TOURS THE MIDDLE WEST
Ae Finds That In Some River Towns
There Is Considerable Apathy
Regarding the Proposed
Amendment.

That the suffrage amendment will

Charles T. Heaslip of the New York
Tribune. who was in Burlington yes
terday, according to the Gazette. The
neWspaperman Is touring the middle
west in the interest Of his paper, in
vestlgating sentiment in regard to
suffrage and has completed a state
wide tour Of Iowa.
During the past few years, Mr.. Hea-
slip has followed the fight of the
women for the vote on special as

served campaigns In Pennsylvania,
New York and New Jersey and has
also made extensive Investigations Of

women have received the ballot

the interior Of the state Is alive and
keenly interested IN the question
Suffrage sentiment predominates and

any great degree. Clubs have been or
ganized, lecturers are touring the
cities and he looks for a great favor

River Cities ApathetIe.
His arrival in Burlington came as
the termination Of journey through
the river towns of the Mississippi val
ley. In some he found the suffrage
question dormant and In others he
found considerable antt-suffrage spirit
Davenport in particular exhibits con-
siderable anti-suffrage agitation, due
to the liquor question. The belief
exists that granting the vote to wom-
en- would be another victory for pro-
h1bition and consequently the Daven-
porters are not particularly enthusi-
astic. Dubuque and Clinton are not
particularly favorable.
In other river cities, the question of
suffrage has not yet reached the
point where 1t is being discussed on
the streets, but steps are being taken
to start something. In every county,
suffrage committees are being or.
ganized and speakers have appeared
to plead for the cause.
Mr. Heaslip characterizes himeelt
as strictly neutral" on the question
casual but none the less alert OBJ
server. During the present tour he
has investigated conditions in Illinois,
Iowa, Missouri, Colorado and Ne
braska, and with the Information gath
cred from hundreds Of interested peo-
pie on both sides OF the question, IS
thoroughly competent to Judge as to
the sentiment Of the middle west.
Mr.. Heaslip spent the day in Bur-
lington scanning the local situation,
and departed today for St, Louis, Mo
From that point he will return to New
York to give the benefit of his infor-

Waterloo Courier: D. w. Norris
has been talked Of for governor. There
is no question that he is of guberna-

campaigning for the cause of better

months in advance, or in schemes
for the artificial production Of rain,
the prevention Of hail, and other pro-
posals to control or modify atmos-
pheric phenomena or to forecast them
long time In advance. Pretensions
Of this character meet with a GER
tain Credence because there are q
number Of people who still cling to
the ancient belief in the influence of
the moon on the growth and develop
ment Of crops, and to the idea that
the weather conditions depend upon
planetary and astrological Combina-
lions. AS a rule the general public
is only partly familiar with modern
scientific facts and seems overready
to accept confidently at face value
almost any announcement Of alleged
new discoveries, especially when
their exploita ton is clothed in skill
full illusions to items of the latest
scientific information and is accom-
panied by clever representations Of
the benefits that are to result.
The latest Misrepresentation Of
this character now being presented
to tho people Of the country in the
columns of the daily press Is an al
legged new system Of long-range
weather forecasitng said to be based
on the riffs and spottedness Of the
sun and it's shafts Of solar radiation
When the disk of the sun is minute
ly examined with powerful tele
scopes or when photographed with
the aid Of the modern spectroheiio-
graph, the surface presents a charac-
teristic spotted appearance which I'm
dergoes slight changes from day to
intervals of time, depending upon the
weIl-known rotation Of the sun upon
it's axis and the periodic recurrence
of the sunspot maxi1na and minlma.
These and certain well-known related
phenomena are represented to be the
basis Of the so, called discovery.
Fair Test Is Made.
During the past several years the
weather bureau has received, In the
form of letters. circulars. diagrams,
and blue prints, full specifications
concerning all essential details OF
this alleged new system Of forecast
ing. The so-called discovery is fully
known to the weather bureau and has
received fair and impartial study and
examination by its scientific staff.
Moreover, other scientists Of inter
national reputation now connected
with the strongest institutions In the
world engaged in astronomical re-
search and conducting Investigations
in solar and terrestrial physics have
also passed upon these new theories.
These authorities are in accord that
the deductions and conclusions drawn
from the solar conditions on which
the new system Is based are unwar'
ranted. Solar phenomena Of the kind
