Meredith Buys Lake Hotel.

Secretary of Agricultural Edwin L.
Meredith will have his summer home at
Clear Lake in the future whether he
domiciles at Washington the next four
years or only one.
He has purchased the lakewood hotel
property on the south shore of Clear
Lake with 100 feet of lake frontage.
and the commanding cminencc of five
acres which has been the delight OF
picknickers for nearly half IL century.
Last summer the secretary of agrl-
culture leased the hotel and made il
possible for his big family of employees
of successful Farming" to enjoy Il two
weeks vacation at Il nominal cost.
The purchase price was 100000. Mr..
Meredith does not contemplate making
any extensive improvements there this
summer but his plans call later for re-
building the hotel and beautifying and
undermining the place which will call
for an expenditure of 100000 or more
AT my ate there will be another colony
of farmers and farmcrcttcs on that
shore in July and August.

WHY PRICES ARE HIGH.
Prof. Irving Fisher. in Leslie's.

4 4 4 X 4 4 X 4 X 4 \ ~
All the evidence bears out this
theOry-that the important factor i'll
every important price movement is
money. BY that | do not mean to say
that money is the only factor. 1t is
possible. that commodities as Il whole
may cheaper or appreciate; but their
movements are almost negligible as
compared with money. Just as we have
reyolutionized our ideas in astronomy
land come to realize that the sun does
not really rise and set but stays es-
sentially stationary III the course of
twenty-four hours shining on a reyolv-
ing globe, so we have to revolutionizc
our ideas as to money.
In the same way we have to realize
that these great price uphcavals which
have been attributed to the rising and
setting of the various commodities
are due to the gyrations of the dollar.
Some people try to bolster up their
faith in the stability of the dollar by
citing the fact that the price OF gold is
constant. And so it is-in terms OF
gold. The fixed price of gold" simply
means that an ounce of gold taken to
the mint may be cut up into twenty,
gold dollar: in other words, Il dollar
is simply 100 approximately of an
ounce of gold.
The truth is that business men are
talking and thinking in terms of money
so much that they take the dollar as
a matter of course.
Now we must take Il different point
of view OH this subject and instead OF
irving to measure commodities III
terms of gold. we. must measure gold
i'm the terms of the other commodities.
We should rather refer to The gyra-
lions of the dollar than measure every
thing in terms of the dollar.
The explanation, then, for the fact
that the worlds prices are now three
times what they we're i'll 1S96 is, III
brief and without much notifications.
simply that money is more abundant
and therefore cheap and will buy less.
II is the dollar which has deprecated,
and not in any true sense commodities
which have risen.

SWEET CORN IN HOME GARDEN.

SWEET CORN IN HOME GARDEN
Whoever invented Golden Bantam
corn did a good job, for there is NJ
product of the garden more appetizing
and if space is to be spared in-the city
garden for corn, the best results cal
generally be secured with this variety
Golden Bantam is essentially NJ early
corn and does not give good results
unless it is planted and matured earl!
lin the season. Other varieties, such as
Country Gentlemen and Evergreen
according to garden specialists in thu
United States department of agricul
lture, are best for later planting.
One-fourth to one-half of a pint 81
seed of Golden Bantam corn will be
all that is needed by the average home
gardener. Plant lit in rows 3h feet
apart and hills 3 feet apart in the row
5 kernels : to the hill, and after the
corn is up, thin to ) good stalks in each
hill. At least three or four cultiva-
tons or hoeings will be necessary. The
secret of producing deep-grained succu'
lent ears Of Golden Bantam is to keep
the plants growing from the very time
the seed sprouts.
Corn planted in a single row across
the garden seldom makes good full
ears because the pollen from the tas-
sci is blown by the wind and does not
fall on the silk. Where it Is planted in
a block, or several rows side by side,
the pollen is blown from N row to
another and all of the al get enough
of it to insure n full stand of kernels.
Where a small quantity is to be plant
ed, it is always best to group it in one
corner or to one side Of the garden.
In large gardens where land is plen-
tiful. and when the growing season Is
sufficiently long, five to seven paintings
can he made and a continuous supply
secured. A small plot of Golden Ban
tam should be planted about the date
of the last killing frost. About the
time it is up nicely, n pint of Country
Gentleman may he planted. When this
is up and has formed its second leaf
another seeding Of either Country Gen
tleman or Evergreen should be MADE.
Throughout the central states six to
seven paintings can be made by fol-
lowing this rule of making a ne"
plnnting when the second leaf OF inc
previous seeding appears. doiaeh
Bantam requires GO to Gs days to pro-
duce roasting ears; while Couiitr!
Gentleman and Evergreen require % TO
IS days to develop.

Put Aspas agus Bed in Shane.

Now is the time to put the aspara-
gus bed in good shape, SO that it will
yield "a. good crop all spring. G. v.
Holsinger, garden specialist with the
extension department. of Iowa State
college, offers the following sugges-
tions, which will give u good crop and
still leave the bed in shape to produce
next year as well.
Clean up the old beds, If you have
not already done SO. Put plenty of
manure in the plot and work the
ground with a drag or rake until a
good texture of loose soil is gotten.
Shoots will appear very oon and
will keep on coming for s to 10 weeks.
Asparagus is one of the first vege-
tables OH the market and a very good
food. When the shoots are 3 to 4
inches high cut these off 3 to 4 inches
below the ground and cut with a
bread knife. Be sure that the cut is
made at a sharp angle as cutting off
squarely will damage other shoots not
yet in sight. If cutting is delayed nm
til the shoots are much taller, the low
er part will be woody and wasted.
After the middle of June cease the
cutting and encourage a healthy
growth of tops. This will put plant
food into the roots and the next years
crop will be good.
Some people think white asparagus
is a peculiar brand. Any asparagus
can be made white by heaping earth
over the bed and the sprouts then
will have to come through it. They can
be cut off with a long underground
stalk, which is white, due to lack OF
sunlight. 1t is nc better than the other
but is used by French chefs.

Crowd Rushes the Ballot
Booths at the Opening
Hour.

An unusually large vote is being
cast this afternoon on the proposed
school bond issues. At / o'clock when
the polls opened, a crowd rushed from
ballot boxes and most of the afternoon
there has been a line Of men and wo-
men waiting their turn.
No one is compelled to wait very
long, however, for the, ballots are
passed out rapidly and the line moves
fast. The schools in the Lincoln build
ing were Dismissed this afternoon in
order to prevent confusion and permit
Of more rapid voting. The indications
are that this will prove the largest
vote ever recorded at a school election
held in this city.

COMPANIES BUILD
HOMES FOR men
Corporations Finance Build
Operations by En-
plOyes.
(By The Associated Press.)

Pittsburg, April 10.-ImpOrtant in
dustrial corporations in the Pittsburgh
district are financing home building
operations by their employees to relieve
the house shortage in mill and mining
communities. Fol the general public.
trust companies have adopted similar
plans, and are now accepting what
they term "installment mortgages to
encourage house erection.
The most ambitious program of the
lot is that of the United States Steel
corporation. Under this plan an en-
ploye. who is willing to make an initial
investment of ten per cent of the total
cost, is permitted to select from Il large
number of plans the kind of house that
will suit his family. He then picks
out a lot, usually near his place OF
employment. and the corporations
architects and builders do the rest.
| When the house is completed, it is
! turned over to the employee who pledges
himself to pay for it in monthly i'll
stallments during IL period OF ten years,
the total cost being just what the cost
has been to the corporation. Although
the plan is scarcely a month old, the
bureau in charge of building is already
swamped with applications.
The merit of these plans, builders
say, is that materials can be purchased
in large quantities, and the saving
passed on to the workman buyer, who
thus gets Il much better home for less
money than if he had bought the ma
terial and erected the house as an in
dividual.
