Raw Silk Eases Slightly
Japanese Advices Report Heavy
Buying of Spring
COcOOns

Sales Of raw silk yesterday were of
small volume. Prices for the Japanese
grades declined about five cents a.
pound, but advices received by some OF
the local importers indicated that the
Shanghai market had stiffcned. The
slight drop in the price of the Japanese
product was attributed to heavy buying
OF spring cocoons in the interior of
Japan. 1t was intimated that the set
back in prices was only temporary.

I'VE are ready for your request re-

ooh, Mr.. Racoon, viii ever be yonr

reason I have tried to kill you is
because my master, the hunter, wants
your fur so that he may take 1t to
market and sell it. That would not

Then the doctor and Chief Perky
placed Mr.. Hound on his back and
after a painful operation the thorn

ROAD SAFETY FIRST.


The Iowa state highway commits
s!oners thru their official bulletin had
the following to say in a recent issue:
Complaints fill the columns OF the
state papers that Contractors and
county crews engaged in road work
leave scrapers, graders and wagons
standing on the roadway at night
where they are danger to those US
ing the highway. with no danger sig
nails. Such an implement standing
where it may be struck by an auto
mobile is just as much danger on the
highway and should be indicated with
the red light just as well as an open
culvert. County engineers should see
that contractors and county foremen
guard against such distractions.
1t would indeed be refreshing to
have such advice followed in Jasper
county and every other county Of the
state. In fact it would be fine thing
in this county II red lanterns were
even placed at open culverts where
1t Is necessary to detour down a pre-
cipitous bank while new cement Gull
verts are being installed. In view OF
the lack Of warning signals at such
culverts In this county II Is marvel
to US that more accidents do not
happen.
