Simpson place, 81 900. This is about
what the properties have cost Mr..
Howes. He will be fortunate, indeed,
If he succeeds in getting back every
dollar he invested. 1t is understood
that a deal for the Simpson place has
about been closed.
The War Loan Organization of the
st. Louis Federal Reserve District re-
gently issued a pamphlet showing
subscriptions of each county to the
last offer of government bonds-The
Victory Loan. The district covers
most OF Missouri and parts of some
other states. In the list of Missouri
counties we note that Iron County is
credited with the highest percentage
of quotas allotted. Amount asked
for was $65, $50. 90; total of subscrip-
tions reported was S9S, 700. 0O-149.9
per cent. Our county is small but our
people went over the top in nearly
every call that was made.
James Buford, a former resident of
Iron county, died at the home of his
son in Vaudeville, Arkansas, Monday,
morning, agedabout "a years. Probably
no other man had so wide an acquaint-
ance in this county, and for many
years he was a trusted official, in ev-
cry instance discharging the duties
imposed upon him with fidelity and
intelligence. Not having the data at
hand, a proper obituary is deferred
until our next issue. The remains
were brought to Ironton this (Wed-
nesday) morning and taken to Belle
view, and at 10 O'Clock they will be
consigned to their place OF final rest.

A feature of "The Rainbow Trail''
is its magnificent scenic effect; ia fact
in "The Rainbow Trail" is shown the
grandest scenery in the world. Tw 0
hundred miles of wind. worn rock, al
smooth and bare, without a single
line-canyons, caves, bridges. This
is the Grand Canyon of Arizona where
William Farnum and his company
spent a week. Other scenes show the
weird, mysterious Painted Desert;
others take the spectator into the for
gotten civilization of the Aztec cliff
| jewellers. Again, the picture shifts tt
t, that colorful, picturesque home of
doomed race-the Navajo Reserva'
ton. The scenery of this production
is a liberal education in itself. Acad-
