struction Of four barns in Cass town
ship and one barn south of Persia
near Yorkshire, by fires Of unknown

of unknown origin Wednesday,. A large
farm barn on the 1nglar farm, south

thirty tons Of hay and sheds for live
stock were burned fourteen days ago,

greater number Of the fires have oc-
Cured when the owners have been

SUGGESTIONS TO
SICK WOMEN
How Many Are Restored To
Health.

First Almost every operation in
our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect Of
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful periods, displacements, pain
in the side, burning sensation in tho
stomach, bearing down pains, nervous
ness, dizziness and sleeplessness.
Second.-Themedicine most success
full in relieving female ills is Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It
regulates and strengthens the organism;
it overcomes disease. II
For forty years it has been making
women strong and well, relieving back
ache, nervousness, liberation and in
flammation, weakness, displacements,
irregularity and periodic pains. Il
has also proved invaluable in prepar-
ing for childbirth and the Change Of
Life. 8
Third.-The great number Of unso-l
licited testimonials on file at the Pink
ham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass, many
of which are from time to time published
by permission, are proof of the value Of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com.
pound, in the treatment of female ills.
Fourth.-Every ailing woman in tho
United States is cordially invited to
write to the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine
Co. (confidentiaD, Lynn, Mass, for
special advice. tits free, will bring you
health and may save your life. [

Des Moines, Oct. 9.-Business con-
ditions, viewed from many angles, con-
tinue to be good in Iowa. Crops this
year can be depended on to bring big
returns to the producers which means
plenty OF money in Iowa.
Apparently it is the middleman and
the consumer who are kept on the keen
alert to meet the rising prices and the
shifts in values. Ths price Of potatoes
took a big slump on the Des Moines
market last week when several car
loads were bruoght in and sold as low
as 1925 per bushel during potato
war on the city market and down on
the railroad tracks. Big retailers here,
who say they have themselves had to
pay as much as $3.50 per bushel for
potatoes, have been suffering from the
local potato war while the alert con-
sumner has been benefiting. Eventually,
it is claimed, potatoes will go up as
the reports are that the potato crop
generally mas only averaged about one
third Of a crop.
Grocers who bought big supply Oh
-four before the price went up have
been reaping the benefits OF higher
prices while the little fellow with not
much Of supply on hand has been
kept guessing.
Feeders Borrowing.
Bankers are loaning considerable
money to feeders and for other lines OF
business the state banking department
says The state banking department
is sending out letters to some banks to
increase their reserve saying they are
loaning UP too closely. Many OF the
better banks have from 70 to 90 per
cent reserve but the average reserve in
all banks at the time Of the last.state-
ment Sept. IL, was 1876 per cent.
From all reports investments in real
estate are not active locally but several
deals Of Importance are said to be
pending. Bank clearings in the local
banks showed big gain last week
ever the corresponding week year
ago.
Work is unusually plentiful. Build
ing and outdoor Improvement contrac-
tors are taking full advantage OF the
fine building weather and hurrying to
complete contracts. Farmers are trying
to lire up help for corn picking. the

that the Courier is the only republican

The Courier's main objection to Har-

giving aid to a policy of stagnation'
The Courier wants sane, businesslike
but constructive policy without any
increase in road taxes and fears that

ATROCITIES IN
MEXICO, !, Awful.
American Mining Man Tells
Terrible Tales About
Carranza's Men

Ell Paso, Tex, Dec. 1.-THE poor OF
Guanajuato, one Of the large mining
cities of central Mexico, are dying at
the rate Of about seventy persons q
day. according to an affidavit sworn to
by an American mining man just out
of there. The affidavit, which has been
forwarded by government officials to
Washington, affirms also that the WON
en- teachers in the parochial schools
had been seized by Carranza soldiers
and taken to their camps, while church
properties were turned into bull rings
and barracks.
The document goes on to say that
the poor were wearing native grasses
for clothing and eating roots and twigs
of trees. and corn sent by the Ameri-
can Red Cross to relieve this suffering
was seized by officials and sold at
$3.50 gold bushel.
One church in Guanajuato, accord
ing to this same source, was looted
and bull fight held in it and it was
then used as a barracks for soldiers
of the Carranza garrison. The wom-
en- teachers were forced to endure tor
lures worse than death, the affidavit
stated, and were then .apportioned
among the soldiers.
