MAKE PLANS FOR
PERPETUAL CARING

Waterloo, April L. Prompted by
philanthropic impulses, the stockhold-
ers of the Fairview Cemetery associa-
ton, the largest in the county, have
authorized a bond issue of $4,000 to
promote a perpetual care fund. This
means that personal profit will cease
and that the income from the sale OF
lots will be devoted to upkeep, i'm
provements and perpetual care.
The bonds are to be distributed pro
rata among the stockholders and all
are to be retired In twenty years. At
that time ownership will revert to the
lot owners and fund large enough to
maintain the cemetery for all time will
be amassed State Senator H. w. Grout
ia president Of the association Lore
Afford has been named trustee.
About one-third of the lots have been
sold. The stockholders have heretofore
received substantial dividends, but
they have voted to forego these II the
interest of the public good.

ASSESSMENT IS
MADE At KE0kUK
|PLAcE $1e,ooo,ooo LIST AGAINST
WATER POWER coMPANYs
! PLANT THERE.

Keokuk. April Am assessment or
$4,000 900 against the property OF the
Mississippi Water Power company
within the city limits of Keokuk was
entered on the assessors rolls. This
action brings to immediate focus the
whole question of taxing the holdings
of the water power company wh1ch
has been under more or less pubic
discussion recently S. H. Johnston,
the assessor, says he believed that
$4,000, 900 would be fair valuation
Of the property involved. but as the
oficial representatives OF the com
pany declined or failed to provide a
valuation the assessor was compelled,
he claims. under the law of Iowa to
assess penalty of 100 per cent, and
he therefore doubled the valuation. 1t
will be the duty of the incoming coun-
Gil to approve this assessment or raise
or lower 1t. Should the action of the
new administration prove unsatisfac-
tory to the water power company 1t
has recourse to appeal to the district
court of Lee county, and from that
judicial body to the supreme court OF
Iowa.
A conference lasting several hours
was held between representatives or
the company and the mayor and COM
missioners In regard to this unexpect-
eddy appearing assessment question.

trade and finance. The violent rise
in certain commodities, the MAD rush
OF orders for many manufactures

the unreasoning eagerness OF buyers
created a situation so extreme ana

the question, is it not time for

United States have been running at
about so per cent and more in excess
Of last year; the greatest ratio CT IN

Approximately half of these clearings
are at New York and the increases
have been largely due to financial ana
industrial activities created by the
war. which must stop or change their

TO HAVE IMMENSE
RECLAMATION WORK

TT. Dodge, April 4-One of the big
gest pieces of land reclaiming work
in this section will be done on the
,065 acre slough Ave miles south Of
Williams, which Henry Hoyer and
Henry Schultz purchased from Frank
Gotch last November. The cost will
be nearly $4,000.
The new owners paid $65 an acre
for the land. They estimate the cost
of thing at SIS to $1s an acre. At
present they have 100 cars of five and
eight inch tile to start with. A force
of twenty men Is now is at work.
The owners expect to have five or six
hundred acres ready for cultivation
this spring but they will take two
years to finish the whole job.
The county bitches run through the
swamp, which is the nearest thing to
a lake in the vicinity. Hoyer and
Schultz have great faith in the pro-
ject and believe it will be worth the
time and money.

ton at the George Schurk farm near

were those held at Summitville and

grating over varieties not proven sat
isfactory though of hardy stock, and
grape pruning of the long arm school,
which has been found to be the most
efficient at the experimental station at
Council Bluffs, showing forty.one per
cent increase in production over the
short spray system.
Last year spraying demonstrations
were held in ten cohnties Of the state.
The average yield for each sprayed
tree was 610 bushels of rs per cent
clean apples, which at two farms sold
for rs cents bushel. The unsprayed
trees yielded bare five bushels. 8 per
cent clean and had a slow sale at rs
cents bushel. The cost of spraying is
nominal: material eight cents, depreci-
alton on spraying pump .026 and labor
fifteen cents This yields net gain OF
$4.26. Professor Herrick said that he
was advocating the thirty-tree orchard
for the farmer who does not care to
go into the business commercially. For
the commercial orchard he recon-
mends any sized orchard over eight
acres which would yield sufficient fruit
for shipping in carload lots.
He spoke in particular about grape
culture, saying the soil hereabouts was
ideal for the raising Of such fruit as
was also true in the river counties OF
apples, but he emphasized the spraying
of all orchards which was an absolute
necessity to insure success, he said. II
the farmer does not spray his orchard
he is doomed to failure and the demon
strators advise to enter some other
field Of endeavor. At the Newton farm
at Argyle the demonstration will be
primarily for the San Jose scale.

Since the above HSuTeS were coH-
piled. prices have in many instances
risen still higher. No industry has
enjoyed more intense activity and
prosperity than steel. Production OF
Mig iron has about doubled last year S
4 iiRures and prices have risen to a
1,oint affording extraordinary profits
which will continue until present con-
tracts are completed. Building is
about 20 per cent ahead of last year
In spite of dear materials. Textiles
have been very active. cotton goods
often advancing 20 to 80 per cent.
woolens have scored large advances
and in some instances linens have
risen 100 per cent owing to the en-
barge. Railroad earnings have been
gaining at the rate of II to 20 per
cent for a number of weeks past. Our
foreign trade has been growing by
leaps and bounds, particularly in ex-
ports. Such facts as these can be
cited indefinitely to prove the abnor-
NAL activity and prosperity of the
United States; chiefly the result OF
the conflagration abroad, although last
years good harvest has been an i'm
portant contributing factor.
Such conditions cannot last. They
will bring their own reaction without
fail, and it is only matter of time
when that reaction begins. The long
er it Is postponed and the greater our
profits out of the misfortunes of 9th
ers. the worse will be the reaction
when 1t arrives. Imitation always &C
companies war. and in our case infla-
ton has been materially aided by our
big gold supply and the new federal
sreserve law which greatly facilitated
@the enormous expansion of credit. The
phenomenal expansion of loan is high
ly suggestive of caution, especially as
the effect of high prices in retail dis
tribution is only just beginning to be
felt. Much larger sums of money will
be required to carry retail merchan-
disc stocks and high prices will inevi-
tably tend to restrict consumption:
though this may be temporarily Offset
by labor being generally we'll en-
ployed at good wages-and in many
!. instances at very high wages. The
&conclusion cannot be avoided that
Ehese conditions are highly unstable.
#When war ends violent readjust-
Hment will be inevitable. Old condi-
tions will not be restored. A long
period of uncertainty will have to be
squarely faced. This country will then
find itself upon high cost Of produc-
tion basis; wages and commodities
Swill be higher here than abroad; our
Bcapacity for turning out all kinds of
merchandise will be at high water
Amark: Europe will need our help in

four high prices longer than necessary;

Ger we like it or not. this country with
