Drive for Old Clothes.

The drive being conducted ty the

for clothing for the desperately needy
Of stricken Poland, is being carried OF
this week by committee Of the church

The local church has been asked to
furnish four hundred pounds. Tie
drive over the nation at large is for
from 1900 to 5000 tons. 1t Is believed
that Webster City will easily raise ITS
quota, but to this end all persons in

Two Keys and 500.

Eagle Grove Times-Gazette: There
is another chapter to the keg of grape
juice at Woodstock, and that is that
Steve Mckinley confessed to Marshal
Frank Fisher that he took 500 from
the Paul Hisler home besides assist
ing in lifting the key Of wine.
Last week we told about the two
days trial over the departure Of a
keg at the Hisler home and one from
the Rocket home.
Marshal Frank Fisher of this city
learned Of the whereabouts of Steve
Mckinley and got him to come to
Eagle Grove. He said that he took
the 500 in peculiar way, and that
he had no intention Of taking any
money when he went to locate the
key. Mr. Hisler had the money in a
dish OF some kind and it was very
close to the key. The boys took the
dish to draw some Of the liquid that
Quenches the thirst, and in this way
the 500 became prominent factor in
the tragedy of the moment.
However, the money has been re-
stored to the owner, but it is gener-
ally understood that the two kegs are
now empty, and that more than one
enjoyed the contents thereof.

DAILY MARKETS
Furnished BY The Trans-N Mississippi
Grain Company, II. II. Audley,
Manager. Phone $40.

| Chicago, Oct. 27.-COrn: Hogs were
25 to 80 higher and the weather all
lover the belt was unsettled with gener-
al precipitation. This caused not only
buying by shorts, but some new buying
by commission houses and while the
market closed on recession from the
high point, the undertone was strong
all day. Cash prices did not advance
as much as the futures, car lots being
unchanged to higher. Some western
advices indicate continuance Of selling
OF new corn in Iowa, otherwise offer
ings Of new corn are very small.
Oats: The market proved mono
t0nOusly dull affair, advancing frac-
tiOnally in sympathy with corn but
with sliding back toward the close.
Eastern demand was much less pro-
nounced today with shipping sales of
only 10000 reported. Car lots un-
changed to 1 higher.
Produce Review.
Butter-Recent general rains result
ed in better pastures and conditions
for fall production of butterfat, and
an increase in the amount delivered to
|creameries.
A lighter consumption of butter is
reported, and this factor, in connection
with the larger stocks reported by the
United States department Of agricul-
ture, Oct. !, has resulted in slightly
lower prices generally prevailing OH
the selling markets, with little change
in the country prices on butterfat.
Egge-Due to generally open wealth
|er, the production, while not sufficient
for total current requirements, is an
important factor in affecting values.
Heavy Withdrawals were made during
the week from reserve stocks, but a
larger movement is desirable.
POultry-There has been an increase
in the amount of poultry marketed but
no appreciable change in prices.
Feeding plants are generally filled to
capacity, and producers and shippers
can help materially in handling the hOl
iday movement by following even mar
keting, which will prevent overstockel
markets.

no rags of poverty are laved in
the muddy waters of the Colo
rado.
Drink and food is this glorious
stream for the land it neighbors. Nor
is that all. It is also power. From
its flow shall they light the darkness
Of the desert nights, and they shall
turn myrid wheels with it; it shall
be all things to those whom it serves.
There could have been no conquest
Of the desert without the blood of the
Colorado to nurture the conquest's
seed.
The first mon that canon 10 "onuu"r
the desert Of the Imperial Valley, and
those who came atLer them, brought
them q great vision.
"Wherc there is no vision the peo-
pie perish" said the sage.
1t was the same vision that the peo-
rle still have who are building in won
der today upon the wonders that were
wrought before them.
1t was q vision of a waste land
transformed into bloom and blossom,
of wide plains that were dun and
brown, of majestic highways lined
with stately trees, where never was
trail before, and of shining cities
