ODD TOWN IN IOWA
Farmers Consolidate interests,
Transact Business ProfitabIy.
FOUNDED AND RUN BY THEM.

Though Built Fourteen Years Ago,
When Railroad Was Constructed,
FernaId Has Population of Only 100,
but Air of Mutual Interest Would
Please Amy One.
Des Moines, Ia.-Out on the prairies
of Iowa is one Of the most novel towns
of the country. There IS no pickering
between townspeople and rural resi-
dents, as is often the case. The farm
ers for miles around feel perfectly free
to go to town without wearing starch
ed shirts and collars. There is an air
of mutual interest between town and
country which would gladden. the heart
of any rural life expert The reason
for this is that the town is owned by
the farmers themselves.
When he goes to town to buy bar of
soap or new pillow the farmer buys OF
himself, or rather he is a partner in the
store. When he goes to the elevator he
sells to his company the grain he has
brought in. Perhaps his next stop will
be at bank owned and managed by
the farmers themselves
The town is named Fernald. All of
its business enterprises are owned by
farmers living within a radius of three
or four miles. Though built fourteen
years ago. when the railroad was built,
Fernald has a population of only 100
and probably will not grow much
larger in the years to come, because Of
the nearness of numerous other towns.
But this does not mean that Fernald
does not expect to grow and prosper,
for the farsighted farmers who own
the town do practically all of their
trading there instead of patronizing
mail order houses or buying in neigh
boring towns. In fact, the town is just
big social center for the whole COM
munity.
The town was founded by the farm
ers I'm order to avoid making long hauls
In delivering crops to the railroad. A
line elevator was built shortly after
the town was founded, but it was not
until about two years ago that it was
purchased by group Of farmers OPP
Grating under the name Of the Farm
ers' Grain company. III. S. Fleagle, the
| farmer who put through the deal, was
| made manager of the elevator. The In
vestment proved a wise one, for In the
| first year under the new management
| the elevator paid profit of 95 per cent
on the 5000 capital
| The Farmers Lumber company was
organized by four farmers with cap
| ftalization of $1,000. Mr.. F1eagle also
manages the affairs of this company
and its $4,000 stock. Another enter
prise founded by the farmers was the
Farmers Cooperative Mercantile COM
pany. After brief period of competi-
ton the rival mercantile store was
compelled to close its doors, leaving the
management of the town and its bust.
ness affairs entirely in the hands of
the farmers themselves.
The towns founders then establish
ed the Farmers Savings bank, with a
capital of $4,000 The deposits have
reached the $4,000 mark In three years

was recognized a third time when he

Supplies Into Mexico

The Mexicans continue to take
huge quantities of supplies across the
line from the United States and as
yet no embargo has been placed on
this. Custom officials and the SOL
diers at bridges make the work as
slow as possible by examining the
contents of every box and bag, but
the Mexicans are patient and have
succeeded in getting everything over
that they wanted to.
From Nogales the report comes
that more than thousand tons of
foodstuffs have been taken across in
the last two days. During the last
week more than twenty thousand
sacks of corn and flour have gone
over the international bridges from
this city, and great truck loads of
supplies are on this side waiting for
inspection by customs house officials.
Private dispatches received here to-
day state that the bandit Villa, with
two thousand men, has left his re-
treat on the Rio Floride, southwest
of Parral, and is riding overland in
the direction of Santo Rosalia, where
he means to entrain for Chihuahua
City. These reports concerning the
movements of Villa cannot be relied
upon, but there is no doubt that all
lof Villas old generals are now in
good favor with the de facto govern
ment and that more than ten of them
have been assigned to important COM
mands in the last ten days.
| 1t is now the opinion of American
officers that the Mexicans are in as
good shape for a fight as they ever
will be. Their mobilization has. been
almost completed, and the distribu-
ton of the troops has placed them so
that they surround the American
punitive expedition on the south, east
and west.

On the Officers and Men of the
American Army

American Army
New York, July A special from
FL Paso to the New York Herald
says:
The effect on Mexicans officials
along the border of the Mexican for
eign Offices memorandum on the Am
erican demands, with its charges of
bad faith and duplicity, has been TO
stimulate Mexican enthusiasm and
patriotism and to place Carranza on
little bit higher pedestal in the
north than he has occupied for some
time.
The effect of President Wilson's
speech at the Press Club in New York
city Friday night on officers of the
army has been undeniably depress-
ing. The army has been under a Sc
we're strain for many weeks, but until
today there wasn't man of the bor-
der patrol who did not believe that
the end of "watchful waiting" was
nearly over and actual hostilities
about to begin.
The presidents latest utterances
have changed all that, and although
preparations for war goes steadily
ahead at Fort Bliss, Columbus and
other points, there is a sudden lack
of enthusiasm that has marked the
work of getting ready for the last
week.
! There is no doubt that the army
wants to fight. Since the Carrizal af-
fair the ambition to get into action
with the Mexicans has increased a
hendredfold, and the presidents pa
ciic speech was like dash of cold
water in the faces of the men in
khaki.
See Forerunner of Note
As for the hundreds of refugees
here, most of whom are men of large
property interests in northern Mex
leo, their characterization of the pres
ident's statement that he is mot the
servant of those who wish to enhance
the value of their Mexican invest
ments" is unprintable.
/ However the presidents utterances
may be received elsewhere, there is
no doubt of their unpopularity here
and with the army. On the other
hand, Carranza's defiant memoir
andum, which is taken to be the fore
runner of his answer to the latest
note of the United States, has beer
received enthusiastically by the Mex
icans everywhere. Extracts from the
presidents speech were printed in
Spanish by Mexicans here and scat.

Mexicans are in this mood that they
are most dangerous.

So long as the Trib's mill runs the

Herald and Examiner, which have to

President Dodge of the International
Paper Co., who is supposed to die
tate the prices of paper as President
Gary of the Steel trust dictates steel
prices, announced last Saturday
that the contract price of white
paper will go to $40 per 100
pounds Jan. 1, 1917, or $62 a ton, as
against $38 ton on contracts which
win expire on that date. o.
Lets see what this increase means
to the Daily, News. The average daily
circulation Of the News for October
was 432, $40. A 30-page copy Of the
News weighs half a pound. If the
News will average 80 pages a day its
consumption of white paper would
be 216,32O pounds, or 108 tons daily.
An increase of $24 a ton means an
increase in white paper cost to the
News, of S813,120 a year. That will
just about wipe out its profit.
But Lawson has been pilng up a
big annual profit for years, and has
a big income from investments, out
side of the News. He owns stock in
banks, in manufacturing enterprises \
and in public utilities. He wouldn't
starve if he pocketed a loss on the
News, although he. can still increase
advertising rates even though the
News rate now is one of the high
est in the country; for the News is
one of the best advertising mediums
because of its large home-deliYeTed
circulation.
If by raising his advertising rate
Lawson can get advertisers to pay
the same amount of money for less
space, he can cut down his white pa
per consumption by using, fewer

By the way, all employees in news

high cost of living with higher wages

Even the printers will be up
against it, though they stood by the
publishers in the fight against union
