Christmas at Rib View Sanatorium
was time of unusual cheer. This
was due to the unbounded kindness,
during the epidemic and at Christmas
tide, OF large number of friends of
the Sanatorium, as well as of the fam
lilies and individual friends of the peo-
pie residing there. Many expressions
of appreciation have been heard
throughout the Sanatorium these past
weeks.
Santa Claus came Christmas eve,
with a generous supply OF gifts. where
many were gathered in the assembly,
room. The large room with its brill
liant tree, holly. branches OF ever
green, poinsettias, ferns and wreaths,
had the pleasing effect that Christmas
alone brings. This was added to by
the long festive board with it's array
of tempting delicacies of the season !;
Christmas faTors. and glowing candles.
At each place was a lovely box OF bon
bons, the gift of Presbyterian ladies.
The patients were awakened Christ

To Hold or Sell Corn.

An Iowa subscriber writes:
The local elevator is offering
$1.25 for new ear corn. Would you
. advise me to sell at this price or to
hold for an advance next spring or
Summer?'
On many different occasions we
have tried to make it plain that Wal
advice on matters Of this sort. What
we are trying to do is 10 put in the
hands of our readers all the infor-
nation that we can find bearing on
future prices. If we keep our
friends as fully posted as possible,
their Judgment as to whether to sell
or hold ought to be just about as
good as ours.
Looking at the matter purely
from the standpoint of the cost OF
| carrying the corn, it should be noted
, that on the basis Of shrinkage alone,
Sl.23 for new ear corn in Novembe
is equal to S1.27 in December, S1.29
in January, 1870 in February, $1.32
in March, $1.34 in April, $1.38 in
si a4 in 8ugus tu and SIS in in s se{
ember;: These figures are based on
careful experiments conducted to
determine the average shrinkage Of
corn month by month. There is, Of
course, some variation in different
localities; but we regard these
figures as reliable.
is drier than usual this year, the
much; but the factors of rattage and
interest must be taken into con-
sideratiOn, and we think it is safe
to say that S :25 for corn in Novem-
Der is as good a price as $3.50 the
following August, and perhaps some
what better.
The Chicago spectators just now
are betting that corn next August
will sell about rs cents lower than
it is selling now They had
similar idea a year ago, and later
found it necessary to revise their
opinion. But these spectators are
shreWed men, and it must be remem-
bered that they size up the situation
correctly just a little oftener than
they are mistaken; otherwise they
would be forced out OF business. We
do not mind saying that we look for
fairly strong prices for corn next
summer, although there is likely to
be a more or less severe break in
January.
consider other factors than those
mentioned: his need for the money,
for example; his ability to hold the
corn in good cribs without more
than the usual loss, ETC. He should
also try to keep in mind certain
other matters that will influence the
market to a greater or less extent.
There is the. difficulty of securing
cars. Conditions in this respect are
not improving. and prices often are
bid up at the terminal markets be-
cause Of scarcity of actual corn
there. when in fact. if it could be
moved freely as in days gone by,
nrices would go down instead of up.
The man who has liberal amount
OF corn on hand which he has been
holding for a higher price, and who
sees higher nrice quoted on the
Chicago market but is unable to de-
!ivtr the corn: has only a paper pro-
fit from this higher nrice. These I'M
certain shipping conditions offer one
reason why we regard it as unwise
for any one 70 offer hard ard fast
advice on this noint. unless he has
more reliable information as to tho
future than anyone actual7v does

Largest Woman is Buried q

Mrs. Joe uoodale, who passed
away at her home four miles north
OF Moravia, a few dyas ago and
whose funeral was Id at Moravia
on Sunday, was perhaps the largest
lady ever buried in this portion of
the state. Death occurred following
an operation, she having passed away
while on the operating table.
Mrs. Goodale weighed over 500
pounds. her heaviest weight being
at the time of her death at the age
of ~. The casket in which she was
buried was made especially for her
and weighed 500 pounds and was
seven feet in length. Its width was
39 inches on the inside The box in
which the casket was placed was 50
inches in width and it took eighteen
men to lift the box into the grave.
When the body was taken from the
home section of the house was
sawed out between two windows to
make an opening large enough to
permit the casket to be carried from
the house. The box was so large
that it could not be hauled in a
wagon bed and a truck was called
to haul the body from the home to
the cemetery at Moravia.

Mr. France prepared a reserva-

the United States would take over

he says, is granted this country by

mer German colonies developed un-

and opened up as lands of opportuni-
