While in the city last week, Biz
Shaw. of the Odebolt Chronicle. related
the following story of a breeder up near
Lake City: "On my travels last week
met purebred man who tells me that
he had figured his expense of a sale
that he would hold the latter part OF
September, at $500, and this was most
~ for advertising in agricultural pa
pers, and journals devoted to the pure
bred stock industry. When asked who
he expected to sell his boars and gifts
to he replied, to farmers within a radius
Of forty miles Of my farm. L suspect
this man is oyershooting the mark as
ten good local papers would cover the
forty mile radius for $14O0 less money
a great. deal better than these farm
Journals. If n breeder has good enough
stock SO that breeders from other
states want it at good stiff prices. then
these farm journals may be prOftably
used, but not when you expect to sell
to farmers who can be reached other
ways"

A jury in the district court at Perry
last week set the price of a five.acre
they had listened to the case of a. G.
and A. q. Clarke VS. the Consolidated
Independent School District Of Redfleld..
A board OF appraisers named to fix
valuation on the land decided that 81 900
an acre or-x5 400 in all was about the
proper value. Messrs. Clarke thought
different and appealed to the district
court. The jury thought the land was
worth 1880. The land adjoins the
town Of Redfcid.

WEATHER FAVORABLE TO
SEED CORN

iowa weather has been favorable to
seed corn the past two weeks and a
great portion is past the danger stage,
but do not fail to get the seed corn in
early. a freeze at this time would ruin
corn in the field because it still contains
a large quantity of moisture. Nh
This Is the seed corn sitiation at the
close of the seed corn weeks ending DC.
tober 2, according to Prof. H. d.
Hughes, head Of the farm crops section
OF iowa State college.
Many farmers become lax at the
close in their methods, due to the peri
cd of Favorable weather and later on
when they get their seed corn they find
| it very low in vitality. Iowa farmers
have been caught this way before.

WASHINGTON'S NOTEBOOK AND

The New York public library, in its

manuscript discovery. An old note
book was sent to the library in which.
appeared a roster Of the regiments

by experts proved that the roster was

Tendencies and NuIlification

The saying: Tendencies are the
only things that matter" is credited
to Elihu Root; the truth of it is ap-
parent in the news respecting the
wet" agitation among the Demo-
Gratis. If tendencies tare the only
things that matter it would seem
that the Democratic party is already
committed to the purpose of strain
ing the alcoholic beverages limit to
the utmost percentage possible under
the constitutional amendment. Lead
ers who in other matters are sup
posed to represent the President are
in favor of some such arrangement
as this. the inference being that the
President himself is not averse to
such an undertaking.
Mr.. Bryan. of course. is in the fore

this is his chief excuse for being there,
and it is to be hoped he does yeoman
service. Nevertheless the "drys"

BILE. 1t is doubtful, however, whether
they will dare run counter to popular
opinion to the extent Of proposing
the defeat of the constitutional
amendment.
A feature of the situation on which
the "wets" doubtless are basing some
confidence lies in the power of an
Administration to be lax in the en-
forcement of the law. Already we
have been told there is not sufficient
money to thoroughly enforce the

know just who his advisers and ad-
ministfative heads are to be, and rec
ommends the choice of Hon. John w
Weeks as Secretary of the Treasury
This would be an excellent nomina =
ton. It would give people feeling
Of confidence and security.
1t would be conclusive evidence
that the mighty problems that are to
be met by the Treasury Department
in the next four years will be han
died with sanity and with marked
ability.
Senator Weeks is one Of the really

ally honored by having a vice-presi-
dent and a Secretary of the Treasury

What Railroads Are Paying

II you are not buying anything
which contributes to railroad earn
ings, are not riding on~the railroad.
you may think you have no interest
in the success or failure Of railroads.
but we would not venture to suggest
that anyone is so short sighted. AS
a matter of fact one might not hope
to escape this interest short Of liv-
ing like a hermit in the wilderness
and subsisting on what his own hands
might produce.
This being indisputable. the follow
ing from the Railway Age" is worth
notice:
"A locomotive which in 1914 cost
s27,s76 will now cost $75.75e, an in
crease of III per cent. In 1914 a
railway had to pay only about per
cent interest on the money it in
vested in a locomotive. while now it
must pay about IN per cent. There
fore, its interest charges on a loco
motive bought six years ago were
$l,3S4 year, Wnlie on a lOCOIuoIiFc
bought now they will be about 1851
a year, an increase in fixed charges
of 80 per cent.
AN average box car bought in 1914
cost about 81. 900. while now it would
cost about $4,000, an increase of 200
per cent. The interest on the invest
ment in the car in 1914 would have
been about $50 a year, while now it
would be about $225 year, an in
crease of $50 per cent"
In conclusion the age" adds:
There is hardly . branch Of rail-
road operation in which unit costs
have not increased 100 to 800 per cent
within the last five years"
Civilization has it's existence in
such conditions that what affects one
of its fundamentals inevitably and
after process Of time must affect all
Of us.

Common Sense and Car Drivers

Andre Boillot, famous French
driver Of racing cars doesn't turn a
hair in driving a race at 100 miles an
hour but when he rides in Paris
taxi ne leaves both doors open and
braces himself with feet and hands.
He has common sense.
A we'll known railroad engineer de-
clares that he'll never get over being
afraid to ride in an auto unless the
one driving is at least skilled and
sober. Driving a railroad engine at
sixty miles an hour he calls child
play because it has a track to run
upon. He has common sense.
This being so how many of those
one sees in a day driving cars pos
sess common sense" A goodly
number, to be sure. otherwise-the
majority of folks being so engaged
the old world would be going to the
bow vows, head-long. But-and
this but" belongs here-one need not
be very observing to find in course
of a few hours of observation a large
number who ought to have their Ii
censes taken away. One may find
them on Water street, on every high
way radiating from the city, at every
sharp turn in every travelled country
road; and some. of them. on top Of
all, ought to be put in Jail.
