LEE COUNTY HOME
From tho Donnellson Reviewl

! Friday, January 9th, the super
ivisors OF Lee county made theiI
monthly visit 10 the Lee county
home, as required by law. 1t was
the privilege Of the Review editor to
be present at that meeting, and If
anyone imagines that they simply
meet there as matter of form, they
have another guess coming. The
building was thoroughly inspected
from basement to the top floor; every
room was opened and examined, and
the inmates were given an opDor-
tunity to talk to the board.
The entire building is kept scrupu-
lously clean-we wish Bob" would
tell us how he does it, so we could
apply the same regime to the Review
office-and the inmates were as ap-
parently contented as anyone could
be under the circums tances.
We visited the bakery where they
had just taken out a big batch of
bread, and it certainly did look good.
Those, loaves had raised until they
cracked open at the top, and they
looked about ten inches high, and
they tasted as good as they looked,
because we sampled some OF the
shape of a good, big meal
We do not rem ember just the num-
Der there are in the home at this
time, but aside from those whom the
tickle goddess Of fortune has decreed
should spend their declining days in
that institution, there are thirty-two
mentally deficient, who have been
brought there from the state institu-
ton at Mt. Pleasant. They are in
durable and harmless, and are being
taken care of there for about $1l a
month, while it was costing the
county s24 at Mt Pleasant. All the
Lee county incurables who can be
taken care of at the home are being
brought from the state institution and
kept here at an annual saving Of $3.50
each.
We would not take Bob" Harris
job, even If we were able to, for
thousand dollars a month"; would

GLOVER LEAF
MEDALS COME
Members of the Eighty.Eiehth Divi.
sion in keokuk Receive Bronze
Awards Given Members of
This Division.

Members of the Eighty.Eighth dtvi
sion in Keokuk have received bronze
medals awarded to every man in the
division.
! These medals are in the design OF
four leaf clover, or the figure "S',
one standing vertical and the other
horizontal, this being the official divt
sional insignia.
The design for the medal was drawn
by Major L. f. Wood who made the
first sketches of the medal. With the
assistance of A. Bazor, famous
sculptor Of Paris, the clover leaf
medal in gold, silver and bronze re-
suited. These medals were awarded
first to winners of athletic contests in
the division.
May 2 1t was decided that bronze
clover leaf medal be given to every
member of the 8Sth while that divt
sion served in the A. e. f. In case of
men who died, q posthumous medal
was sent to his representatives.
The medal shows doughboy in the
foreground, trenches in the back and
the lettering across the lower part Of
the medal reads Eighty Eighth, In

Other County Economies.
Notwithstanding the state raised
its levy this year six mills, the Lee
county levy will be the same it has
been the past four years. This was
accomplished by reducing the county
levy, and it took some figuring to do
1t, when you take into consideration
that the price of everything, both
material and labor, has practically
doubled in that time.
The change In the auto tax money
has not helped the board any. In
former years this tax could be used
in the construction OF bridges, when
needed, and 1t was always needed.
Under the new law, the board has
nothing to say about the auto tax;
the state uses it to grade the primary
road system, and nothing else.
1t will be good news, especially to
the older citizens who have been
"peSging' away for years at this old
bill, to know that the last levy has
been made for that old railroad debt,
and 1t will be paid off this year.
The financial showing made by the
Lee county board OF supervisors in
the past few years would be a good
one under normal conditions, but
when you consider what they have
been "up against" In the way Of
prices for labor and material, they
really deserve the thanks of the
people for the manner in which they
have conducted the business of the
county. OF course It sort OF goes
against the grain" for anyone as radi-
cally republican as the Review man
to acknowledge that a board COM
posed Of a majority of democrats,
can accomplish anything like this,
but it does country newspaper man
good to tell the truth occasionally;
for In SO doing, he may set an
example that will be followed by
others.

More Price Cutting

Washington, Oct. 12.-Price cut
ting has taken hold or the wholesale
trade to an extent that it soon must
be felt substantially in lower prices
TO consumers, according to the federal
reserve boards monthly business re-
vnew made public tonight.
Revival Of the wave Of price reduc-
ton and its spread 20 many lines was
attributed to "a more exacting demand
by the buying public as to price and
quality"
Although the board believed the
public was largely dominating the
market now, it said that labor and
production were having a marked
effect on prices. There was much
evidence, it said, OF increased efficien-
cy on the part of labor and as a re-
suit production was on the increase

proach normal.

TOPICS OF THE FARM
. Department Devoted Exclusively to Farm
Affairs in Hand County
CORN PICKING WAGES

Inquiries regarding cor picking
wages are being received daily at the
Farm Bureau Office. Suggestions have
been ventured in reply to each such
inquiry. There is no understanding
of a definite price being set. However
it is quite apparent that the farmers
cannot very well afford to pay over
10c a bushCl and expect to make any
profit on corn, labor and interest on
the investment considered. The ex-
pense per acre in growing this crop is
not below $500 per acre For those
who have had to hire much of the
work done the cost will more nearly
reach $4,000 per acre. With corn at
zoe per bushel ii would take a 40
bushel crop to break even. The aver
age in Hand County does not approach
anywhere near 40 bushels to the acre.
Counties in the southeast corner OF
The state are paying seven and eight
cents for Orn picking. At this figure
lOc per bushel appears even high for

The Farm Bureaus are Finally Taking
Up the Matter of Live Stock
Commissions

It's beginning to look like the cur
tain for the live stock commission
firms of the old type at the great
stock yards markets, judging from re-
cent events that indicate a stiff breeze
in that direction. A few days ago,
there was held i'm Chicago a confer
ence on cooperative live stock com
mission companies at which Prof.
Herbert W. Mumford gave an address
that shows that Farm Bureaus are
ready to establish commission com
panies at the leading packer markets
to handle the farmers live stock for
him at these markets. Already Omaha
has such a cooperative commission
firm that has been in existence for
three years. Following Secretary of
Agriculture Meredith's move to stop
the advance in rates charged by COM
mission companies for handling live
stock at markets, the commission firms
have checked the Department of in
functions and now the crystallized
move of the farm bureaus through
their state organizations indicates that
the die is cast and the organized farm
err Is going through with the commits
sion idea. 1t will be worth watching
anyway. The wal gave the farmer an
impetus of at least a quarter of a CEN
fury in installing his county agent
and getting it hooked up into
state and national organizations. Now
these big organizations are beginning
to function oil the marketing end

Tuesday, October 5th and decided to
put on the Hand County Farm Bureau
Membership campaign, this fall, the
date to be announced later. No out
side solicitors will be employed. The
work will be done by Hand County
farmers for Hand County farmers.
Secretary Crandall of the South Da-
kota Farm Bureau Federation was
present and outlined the policy as re-
Gently adopted by the officers of the
State Federation.
G. l.. Starr, former well known re-
sident OF Hand County will be loaned
to Hand County by the State Fedora
ton to manage the campaign Mr..
STAIRS services are available for this
work principally because of the in
sistance of the Hand County directors
and through the courtesy of Secretary
Crandall. A more competent man to
manage the Hand County campaign
would be difficult indeed to find. Mr..
Starr is well known and respected ov-
er the county and has had much ex-
p%erience recently in Farm Bureau
campaign work in counties in this
state.
The Hand County drive will be con-
Quoted largely with the township as
the unit. The best available talent
in each township will be employed to
do the canvassing. Each farm home
in the forty townships will be visited
and an opportunity given every farmer
in the county to affiliate. These local
