planned. The associations will not be
however. unless $1,000. 900
bushels a year are signed up.

First.--Is the note Of the bluebird
unpleasant?
Second.-How do animals ears aid
their eyes?
Third.--Do the parent birds push
their young from the nest when
ready to fly?
Answers to Ysstsrday's Questions.
Ffrst--Is the food OF birds highly
concentrated.
Birds live on highly concentrated
food--the fine seeds OF weeds and
grasses. and the eggs and larvae Of
insects. Such food must be very slim
ulating and heating. A gizzard full
of ants, for instance, what spiced
and seasoned extract is equal to
that? Think what virtue there must
be In an ounce of gnats or mosqui-
toes. or II, the fine mysterious food

Second,--How do frogs and toads
make use OF protective coloring?
Every creature has its enemy. and
pretends to be that which 1T is not,
in order to escape detection. The
tree-frog pretends to be piece Of
bark, or a lichen upon n tree: the
wood frog Is the color Of the ory
leaves upon which 1t hops. tho when
spawning In the little black pools and
tarns in spring. it's color is very dark,
like the element It inhabits,
Third Do families OF birds keen
together for the season?
Some birds seem to scatter as soon
as they are out of the nest. With
others the family keeps together the
greater part Of the season. Among
birds that have this latter trait may
be named the chickadee. the blue
bird, the blue Jay. the nuthatch. the
kingbird, the phoebe-bird. and others
of the true. flycatchers.

when It eliminated Ben Ss,lingcr from

and otherwise. which were hooked
up with the Salinger candidacy fail
ed to put him over 1t was another
shock to a program which seems to
have been arranged to cover a con-
siderable period in future politics.
Judge Salinger's advent in the SUI

CAMP DODGE - 4 MEMORY.

Abandonment Of Camp Dodge is in
progress. Within a few weeks 1t
will be n city deserted.
But Camp Dodge will not be for
gotten while this and succeeding
generation live to tell the tales OF
personal experience and while chill
dren and grandchildren relate those
tales again as family tradition. For
the splendid youth and young man
hood of the middle west learned the
elements Of war and battle there,
learned so well that the veterans OF
warning Europe stood amazed at
their accomplishment In line.
It is not to be forgotten how from
every hillside and valley and out Of
every city and town and hamlet,
from the farms and the stores and
the shops that mighty multitude
SWEPT toward the center of the state
and the center OF the great war;
how the people crowded beside the
streets to see the boys march away;
how train after train rushed past
the stations filled with cheering men
elate upon the great adventure and
stern with the great purpose, as the
homes of Iowa and the middle west
sent forth their best in protection of
civilization. The tears that dried
unheeded on the faces Of mothers
and wives are not to be forgotten.
The silent agony of parting between
sons and fathers can not fade from
memory. Abandonment of a group
OF weather worn buildings, breaking
of a camp, is incidental. Camp Dodge
will live on in the memories of
time that tried the souls of the men
and women of Iowa and the north
west
It was q. wonderful gathering there.
The men who constituted that army
were a cross section from the strong
est, greatest part of great strong
country. It would have been impos-
sibl. anywhere else on the face of
the globe to have brought together
Its equal in character, physique and
purpose. Officers whose life had
been spent in training men for war
revised all their theories. The high
intelligence and sturdy character OF
the enlisted man In the war just
closed were revelations. He came
with task to perform and the de-
sire to fit himself for that task. The
years which had been deemed nee

to months whether he got his train

we'll he learned and how complete

exception to the assertion in Cur

BUSINESS AND PRICE S.

An early breaking of the present
iull in business does not appear to
be in prospect but some recent de-
velopments In the situation have
been of a constructive character. The
Improvement In the principal crops.

previously seemed probable, Is a fav-
orable aug,lry for the future, and
the railroad wage award, II accepted

congestion in transportation.
Multiplying evidence OF price yield

regarded as other than encouraging
for prices that had risen beyond all
precedent had marked an unnatural
and unwholesofne condition. and
could not fail to ultimately diminish
consumptive buying. While some
questioning is still heard as to the
gennineness OF the current price re-
action. yet the downward move
ment, II not embracing every i'm
portant article, has steadily gained
momentum in such lines as textiles
and hides and leather. among others.
and 1t is clear that many prospec-
tive customers continue to hold off
for further concessions.
That the passing of summer may
bring some revival OF business. espe-
cially' If more adequate relief from
the transportation troubles is forth
coming, is conceivable: but 1t is
hardly to be doubted, in view of the
tenor of reports from different trades
and Industries. and from different
sections of the country, that sus-
tanned progress is largely contingent
upon the future action of prices.
A continued large attendance OF
visiting merchants in primary dry
goods markets has not meant an ac-
tive business, for buyers are still
very cautious. and are not disposed
to- operate beyond well-defined re-
auiremenh,. REIMBURSEMENT or prices

increased more than a third, these

the profit margin Of the mills.
Recent crop reports. and the aug
mented wages for railroad workers.
have led to more confident express
sions concerning the public Durchas-
ing power, and the restriction of pro-
duction is prompting some interests
to believe that goods will lated be
scarce. and prices high. At the mo-
ment. however, demand is conspicu-
GUS chiefly by its absence, and the
price trend is unmstakably down
