Mount Pleasant, Nov 3.-Having
raised its $4,000. confident that Henry
county will complete its promised $50
900 and hopeful Of great growth, the
trustees Of Iowa Wesleyan College by
a unanimous vote has authorized the
administration to perfect plans for the
raising OF 100000 more to make the
total net income bearing endowment

expected and it was voted to add to
the next campaign 100000 for new
buildings and other purposes which
contemplate another women's dormi-
tory. a mems dormitory. a college IL
brary and a general rehabilitation OF
the whole plant.
Just as soon as the permanency of
the college is settled beyond doubt
it is believed that many people of
means attached to the college will
seek to erect some memorial build
ings on the campus.

Fo~t Dodge Milk Prices Boosted.

Fort Dodge, Nov. 3.-Inability on the
part Of dairymen to get milk Is said
to be the cause OF an increase in the
price to IL cents quart. Cream has
advanced with milk and is now selling
for As cents quart.
This increase has been for the most
part general on the part OF dairymen
of the city. The exceptions. where
milk Is selling for 10 cents a quart, are
few.
When asked today why milk has ad-
vanced to IL cents a quart, the dairy
men all declared that the supply was
not large enough for the demand. Poor
pasturage conditions and a shortage in
the number of cattle in this vicinity
were the reasons to which the increase
was generally ascribed.

Wayside Notes and Impressions
BY A. D. Scougal.

The kindly man who for thirty years
or more went about the state of Iowa
in the interest Of the Times-Repub-
lican, although he now has been dead
two years, still is one OF the most pop
ular men on the road. Nearly every
old-tine subscriber mentions him by
name and tells nov lit USED - eniny
his visits. Once in a while. one meets
a man who inquiries for him, forgetting
the fact that A. P. Thayer has passed
on. All pay tribute in their own way
to his worth as man and friend.
This writer remembers that A. P.
Thayer in 1895 rendered valuable SER
vice to his state as the wielder OF
pen. He rendered the same service LOT
many years, always conscientiously
but that year was the year Of his lar
gest opportunity. But while he WELD
ed large influence as a writer. he was
equally forceful as a talker, and con-
versa tionalist. He inspired his hearers
to listen to his words, and he amused
and edited them with his humor and
wisdom. He must have made friend
of every enemy he ever had in life.
Reckoning his wealth from the stand
point OF friendship. he was as rich as
Croesus. His grave every day is being
garlanded with tributes OF the affec-
lions Of those who knew him. He
dignified the vocation Of newspaper
solicitor.
ANY subdivision Of the ten most
beautiful cities in Iowa which does not
include Grinnell as near the first in
the list is manifestly a mistake. 1t Is a
city Of palatial homes beautifully en-
vironed. It's new postoffice Is a work
Of the builders art 1t exemplifies sim
plicity and economy. 1t is neighbor to
the Stewart library, and near to the
business center. It may be said to
be exactly equidistant between the
college and the heart Of the city. Citi-
zens are liberal in their expressions Of
pride in the building.

COLLEGE MEN TO CORN FIELDS.

Mount Vernon, Nov. 3.-The true
patriotic spirit OF Cornell College was
exemplified this week in decision Of
the faculty which grants the young
men and young women enrolled per-
mission to leave school for two or
three weeks to help in the harvest
ing Of the corn crop Of the state. The
men especially are availing themselves
Of this opportunity, altho some Of the
women have signified their intention
Of going out and trying their skill. The
shortage of labor this year has been
very noticeable in the rural districts.
1t is doubtful II some of the corn would
be harvested had not some similar pro-
vision been made. Cornell claims the
distinction OF being the first school in
the state to show her patriotism in
this manner, but it is quite probable
that other institutions will do the
same.
