BIGGEST LOAD OF EGGS.
", Il. Lauer of EidOradO Delivers i'm
West Union Forty-seven Cases,
Bringing Him $423.

The biggest load of eggs ever de-
liyered in West Union is what is
claimed by w. p. Lauer, the Eldor-
ado merchant; and what is more,
the load was beyond doubt the most
valuable, owing to the high price paid
for the hen fruit. Mondays load
brought by Mr.. Lauer's motor truck
consisted Of forty-seven cases, four
more cases than were brought on his
biggest previous load of forty-three.
These eggs were paid for at the rate
of so cents dozen, or SO a case
making the total value of this one
load of eggs $423. The large guam
tity in the load and the high price
paid combined establish a record for
the value of one load, and Mr.. Lauer
is a good man to talk to if you want
to convince anybody that Iowa s
eggs are worth more than Califor-
MAS oranges. West Union Argo

CHOOSE GARDEN
CROPS WISELY
Home Gardeners Need to Take Spe
cial Care in Choosing Negeta-
bles for Planting.
EXPERT SAYS PLANT
LITTLE PERISHABLE STUFF
Tomatoes and Other Truck, Which
May BE Canned Should BE
Given Preference Over
Green Goods.

Ames, Ia, April 9.-"Home gar
deners need to take special care in
choosing vegetables for planting or
they are likely to produce more of
the perishable stuff than they can
either use or SELL warns A. L. Err
win, truck crop expert at Iowa State
college. This is especially urgent
this year, he points out, because so
many additional thousands Of gar
dens will be cultivated in Iowa. THE
home gardener" he adds, will find it
a wise plan to look ahead and plant
for surplus use only those vegeta-
bles which will not glut the home
market and which can easily be
preserved, canned, stored or dried"
Tomatoes, of course, can be cam
ned for home or commercial use. A
gardener will probably make no
mistake in planting heavily on to-
matoes. From all indications, more
over, he may make neat profit on
them and other vegetables that can
be canned, for the outlook is that
there is going to be a serious short
age of canned stuff this year. Beans,
which grow well in Iowa, and which
are nutritious and are now selling at
$40 a bushel, are always safe pro-
position. They can be dried and
do not perish. Root crops, such as
carrots, parsnips, beets, or onions
and potatoes, can be stored and a
surplus on the gardeners hands is
never a financial loss. Sweet corn can
be dried or canned and may be
planted heavily.
Green goods" or perishable
stuff, however, such as radishes, let
tuce, green peas, cucumbers, melons,
early cabbage and green beans, the
home gardener should be c9reful OF
planting too much of, advises Mr..
Erwin. Unless they are used at once
they are likely to be loss to the
gardener, especially this coming
year when so many persons VIII
have gardens. "Of course, enough
of these vegetables should be raised
for home consumption" he advises,
but to plant large acreage to per-
ishable vegetables, depending to
sell the surplus on the market Will
likely be a losing proposition to the
home gardener, especially this year"

FARM LOANS AT ) PER CENT.
Industry If Money Becomes
Available at This Rate.

The announcement has been made
that the farmer will be able TO Dor
row money from the new Farm Loan
| banks at five per cent. 1t will be a
boon to the agricultural industry il
money becomes available at this
rate. 1t seems almost too much to
hope. 1t is apparently expected that
the public is going to take Az pei
cent land bonds at par, leaving one
half Of one per cent for expenses OF
banking.
All depends on the attitude of the
public. There are already many
applications for these bonds. But
standard railroad bonds are now
selling at about ~ per cent basis,
while excellent public utility securi-
ties can be had on five per cent bas-
lis The question comes whether the
public will accept farm loan bond
at 4 y, when it can get five for
mortgage on electric light, telephone,
trolley, power, and other plants.
This new enterprise will be blow
to many lending companies that have
been putting out money to farmers at
from eight per cent up. Many peo-
lple who were penniless few years
|ago have grown rich on this business.
But it looks as if their harvest were
drawing to a close.
There has been a carnival of spec
ulation in this form of investment.
Poorly organized companies would
sell off loans without proper securl-
ties. Then when the borrower would
fail to pay, the lender became dis
couraged. In many cases the lending
company would buy back the mort
gage for a small sum. Then farm
business would look up, the borrow
er would pay up, and the lending
company had made an enormous per-
centage.
Of course a great many OF these
lending companies have been honestly
conducted. But they are money
making concerns. Their profit has
been added to cost of food produc-
ton. Even if the farmers have to
float loans on per cent basis to tine
public, paying 5 u per cent to the
bank, it will be great gain.

Ford Car Turned Turtle.

Last Sunday a Ford runabout be-
longing to r. j. Becker turned tur-
tie about a half mile east OF Calmar,
near the Hoff farm. Just how it hap
pened is hard to tell, but evidently
by turning the steering wheel sud
denly too far. In the runabout were
John h. Thorsen, employed in Bee
ker's Music Shop, and w. Il. Nor
gan, OF New York, a representative
of the Edison company. The latter
was driving Both were somewhat
cut and bruised. Mr.. Thorson also
sustained a broken nose. The acct
dent occurred on a straight smooth
road, and they say they were not
driving fast.-Calmar Courier.

Mitchellville, Ia, April S.-Miss
Sylpha Shock, who with her mother
makes her home with the latter's
parents, Mr.. and Mrs Ben Hibbs, who
did live down on the White Pole
road is a pupil in the Mitchellville
public school and covered the dis
lance twice on horse back each
school day.
Starting in the year 1912 this
plucky girl has ridden through the
extreme cold of winter and summer
sunshine and rain, and faithfully and
persistently pressed onward for al
most six years. She has never been
absent a day on account OF sickness
In the last two years and half of
school she has only been absent one
and one-half days, and holds the re-
markable record OF never being tar
dy.
Her mother having kept record
of mileage, after deducting the days
absent, found to her amazement that
Sylpha had ridden on horseback -,
O24 miles, far enough to have gone
more than half the distance round
the world.
Her grandparents having moved
to town Sylpha will complete her
education in more convenient way.
