PROMINENT FARMER DIES
ON MONDAY MORNING

w. B. Palmer, a prominent farmer
residing just across the line in
Guthrie county died at an early hour
Monday morning. He came to this
city many years ago and was associ-
ated with Capt. Stuart when the
county was first settled. He is we'll
ing obituary which was prepared by
Rev. ]. c. Orth, of Guthrie Center,
will be of interest to many:
William B. Palmer was born in
West Barnet, Caledonia county, YER
mont, July II, 1859, and died at
his late home in Union township,
Guthrie county, Monday morning,
Sept. II, at the age of SIS years and
months. His father died while
the subject of this sketch was yet
a mere baby so that his entire train
ing was in the hands of his faithful
mother who instilled into his mind
and soul the principles of honesty,
industry and frugality. In the fall
of 1880 he came to Iowa and entered
the employ of Captain Chas. Stuart
of Audubon county with whom he
was associated for 10 years. Hav-
ing purchased farm in 1888 he be-
gan business for himself in the
spring of 1890 upon the farm which
remained his home until the time
of his death.
Mr.. Palmer was united in mar
riage to Marry Margaret Coffman,
April "a, 1895. Four sons were
born to this union; Charles, Byron,
Harry and John, who share this
great loss with their mother.
Deceased has been in poor health
for more than year and was con-
fined to his home for nearly three
months. After having sought help
of some of the best surgeons in the
country, he returned home to await
the summons of the Heavenly. Father.
His strong will power enabled him
to battle bravely for life and when
he realized that his days upon earth
would be few he humbly accepted
the decree of the Lord and prayed
for a peaceful and victorious end.
Surrounded by his family and few
close friends he departed this life
about $3.50 Monday morning, a vic
tim of that terrible foe of mortal
man-cancer.
Mr.. Palmer has been very success
full in his financial dealings and he
leaves his widow and children we'll
provided for Among his neighbors
he was highly esteemed because of
his honest and straight forward
dealings.
Mr.. Palmer united with the Pres
byterian church about 25 years ago
and he often expressed his convic-
ton during the days of his affliction
that Gods favor and loving mercy
were earth's greatest possessions.
The funeral services were held
Wednesday afternoon at the Lone
Star church conducted by his friend
and pastor, Rev. j. c. Orth of the
Guthrie Center Presbyterian church
and his body was laid to rest in
Orange cemetery.
A host of friends extend their sim
cere sympathy to the bereaved wild
ow and sons

FAIR CLOSED WITH
BIG PATRIOTIC MEETING

AS most fitting close for the
best county fair in the state, the fair
association devoted the last night for
an appeal to patriotism and assist
ance for the Red Cross. The gates
were thrown open to the public at
four O'Clock for free entrance for the
night meeting. A crowd of more
than 1000 people were congregated
in the ampatheatre and about the
speakers platform.
The evening program was opened
by the Audubon Band giving half
hour concert which was much enjoy
ed by the crowd. Many selections
were also played by the Veterans
Marshal Band, which, with a large
number of other soldiers was as
sembled on the speakers stand.
Immediately following the concert,
Attorney Mantz introduced the speak
er of the evening, Hon. j. B. Viewer
of Des Moines. Mr.. Viewer gave an
address that was full of patriotism
from start to finish. His appeal tc,
the people to Loyalty support the
government was keenly felt by every
one who heard him, He presented
many questions of Importance and
his discussion of them was so thoro
that everybody could easily under
stand them. He also pointed out
how the people could, by being con-
sentative and masterful, give to the
government the assistance of which
1t is so greatly in need. For three
quarters of an hour he talked to the
devoted listeners in most in
teresting manner. Many and favor
able were the comments that were
heard from a large number of the
people at the close of the evening
meeting.
After the speaker had returned to
his seat, a collection for the Red
Gross was taken and the people
heartily responded by donating free
ly towards the association that cares
for The wounded and sick of our ma
tons defenders. More than 5000
was received in the hats passed thru
the crowds. People who helped in
the collections with their contribu-
ing worthy cause.
1t is muck regretted that the other
speaker of lhe evening, Adjutant
General Guy A. Logan could not be
present to address the people from
the soldiers point of view of the
mobilization of the new army.
His work of carrying out the or
ders Sof the governor regading the
arrival of the men at the cantonment
and seeig to every little mirute detail
would not permit of his taking the
time to leave the capital city to
speak to the people of Audubon and
vicinity and instead, sent his regrets
because of his inability to come.
This patriotic meeting was one of
the best that was ever held In this
county and coming at the close of
the fair, no better climax could have
been arranged.

A FREE TRADE BACKFIRE

A good deal of comment was ere
ated some months ago because Of the
large flow Of gold which started from
this country to Japan to cover trade
balances which that country hello
against US, largely as d result Of a
tariff law which. gave. and still gives
Japan such free hand in our mar
ket. 1t will be remembered that Sec
Rotary McAdoo grew nervous and put
a ban on gold exports from this coun
try, although the Democrats have long
scoffed at fayorablc trade balances
With these two facts in mind, 1t Is
interesting to scan trade report
from Tokyo which says that Japanese
trade continues to suffer somewhat
because The ban on exports Of sold
from America hampers tho importa
ton of raw cotton from India and re-
duces Japan's cotton exports. This
decline in imports Of raw cotton from
India appears 70 be due TO the diff
ticuIty OF settling Indian accounts
"As soon as the inflow Of gold, from
America was ihfsaicncd.' says tn"
report, tho Japanese exchange banks
began to refuse drafts on Indian cot.
