It was evident, however, that her ambition was double barreled, for she frequently told us that for an artist of reputation social discriminations were put aside and that Society, with a large was only to glad to throw open its doors to Fame.

So she set out on a hot chase of art and society, and while pursuing the latter a man of wealth and position became deeply interested in her. He wished, very naturally, to visit her in her home, a plan not entisely to her liking, but one to which she could not reasonably object. So when she left Philadelphia for her vacation it was arranged that he should follow her. Once at home the aspect of the house, was had even expected. more The unsatisfactory rooms seemed smaller, the furnishings more ordinary.

As a matter of fact, 1 It was a very comfortable home. There were no luxuries, but neither were there evidences of that constant little economy which wearies the enerof the poor and despoils life of its joy. It was a simple house, in every way adequate to the simple life that was lived it, but she kept imagining stiff parlor set within. would strike her guest and what inferences he would draw from the cheap ornaments on the mantel and the photographs of the people that stood about.

The most notable deal of the week was the transfer of ninety acres of land within the city limits from John V. Farwell, the dry goods merchant of Chicago, to Jansen Haines, manager of the Des Moines Gas company, and Al. C.

Miller, president of the Home Savings bank. The land lies along East Grand avenue just west of the state fair grounds. Mr. Haines and Mr. Miller expect to divide the tract into lots and it is probable that they will incorporate for the purpose of erecting residences.

Real estate dealers declare that the land was purchased at a bargain, the consideration being $51,000. The entire tract is surrounded by dwellings though it has been used for farming purposes for many vears. MANY BUILDINGS. For March, 1910, City Showed Small Drop in Valuation. Des Moines' building record shows a decrease March from the same period of the previous year, though more buildings are being erected this year, according to yesterday's issue of Construction News.

-three buildings were in course of construction in March, 1910, house to present appear. The whole interior seemed to oppose and thwart her ambition, and she did not intend that it should. she hurried to the neArcordinsly to buy new furniture, and inside of a fortnight she had refurnished the entire lower part of the house, leaving nowhere a familiar landmark. The old furniture had not been expensive or beautiful, but it was solid and substantial and had somehow grown into the home. She tore it out and substituted the foolish spindle stuff that was then coming into fashion.

When the guest arrived- the house was hardly more strange to him than to the couple that had passed their lives there. The rooms were like old friends showing cold and unfamiliar faces. The articles with which they were accustomed to extend their hospitality were replaced by things which they hardly knew how to handle. At last, thoroughly uncomfortable, the guest departed, never to come back. He had admired the girl whom he had come to visit and had wished to form some estimate of the family into which The had hoped to marry.

He had found nothing upon which to base a judgement and had received only a blurred impression of pretentious standards and awkward, at ease people. The regard in which the family was held by their bors, their kindness and the hospitality, of these which they were capwere lost behind the veneer of pretension and the selfconsciousness which it occasioned. For the spirit of the family had not accustomed itself to the new surroundings. If she had hoped that such flimsy frailties would conceal the the principles that underlay the life of the family or that that whole life would, as it were, pull itself up by its boot straps to the level of social life which the fashionable novelties seemed to her to represent, neither came to pass. She succeeded only in disabling the home life, because she had taken away the material things that contributed their part to the meaning of the home and had replaced them with products representIlling another mode of life.

It was as if she. replaced with prodrepresenting another mode of It was as if she had suddenly called upon her family to express themselves in a foreign tongue. They were homeless in their own home. Home means to us that place within whose walls we find all those for whom we have come to care, the little portion of the world that is unquestionably ours and theirs. It means the restfulness, physical and mental, the estimated cost of which was streets for the erection of the Masonic 785.

In March, 1909, forty -five buildings temple. The consideration was $75,000. were erected at an estimated cost of $115,775, making decrease of seven per cent in valuation but a big increase in the number of structures. MAY BUILD HOTEL. H.

Coggeshall Is Credited With Planning Improvement. Rumors are afloat to the effect that H. 11. Coggeshall plans extensive improvements on his quarter of a block at the southeast corner of West Third and Locust streets. It is said that a wholesale drygoods firm, which plans to locate in Des Moines, is negotiating with Mr.

Coggeshall regarding the erection of a building on the ground. Other reports are that would-be hotel owners have their eye on the property, which is now occupied by small buildings. HOTEL PLANS MATURE. T. I.

Stoner Will Probably Close Big Deal Soon. It is probable that during this week T. Stoner will close negotiations for the erection of a half million dollar hotel at the southwest corner of West Ninth and Walnut streets. Mr. Stoner is organizing a stock company to put up 25 per cent of cost the hotel.

F. M. Hubbell, owner of the ground, is said to have agreed with Mr. Stoner to furnish the remaining 75 per cent of the capital. Stoner will probably sign the lease for the ground this week.

MOVE TO DES MOINES. Independent Harvester Company Leases Court Avenue Building. Contrary to previous reports J. 0. Wells will not erect a building on West Fourth street for the Independent Harvester company.

The company and Mr. Wells failed to close negotiations. The harvester company yesterday leased the building at 216-218 West Court avenue. The structure is three stories high and has a frontage of forty-four feet. George Larson, manager of the Independent Harvester company, in Iowa, stated yesterday that the concern will move into the new quarters immediately.

School Board to Build. The administration building for the Des Moines school board will be erected on the site of the present Irving school at Tenth and Pleasant streets. The structures will face Pleasant and will be three stories high and will be used as offices for the board. Masons Will Build. The trustees of the four Masonic lodges of the city have purchased a lot.

The porch is supported by cement pillars and has a cement floor, which is easily kept clean by the garden hose. The house is well lighted with four large windows in the living room facing the porch.

The floor plans show the hall, dining room and living room to be SO slightly separated that they are practically one large room. In the dining room a sideboard is built in with a china closet at either end, and across FARM ANIMALS DECREASE ENORMOUSLY The number of food animals in the United States has decreased 5,000,000 since 1901, and the number of consumers has increased 12.000,000 in the same time. This is the result of an analysis by the bureau of statistics of the department of commerce of census estimates of population' and department the of agriculture's estimates of food animals in the years 1901 and 1910. The term "food animals" includes in this instance all cattle, sheep and swine in the United States as estimated by the department of agriculture, and the term "consumers" Includes all of the population as estimated by the census. The department of agriculture figures out the total number of cattle 111 the United States on Jan.

1, 1901, at sheep 59.750,000, and swine 67,000,000, a total of 179,000,000. For Jan. 1, 1910, the estimate is: Cattle 69,000,000, sheep 000, and swine 47,750,000, a total of 000, a decrease of 5,000,000 in the aggregate of the three groups of food animals. The census estimates the population of the United States on June 1, 1901, at 77,647,000, and on June 1, 1910, at 89,912,000, an increase of A little more than 12,000,000 in the population, while the number of food animals was declining about 5,000,000. This makes the total number of food animals to each 100 persons in 1901, 231, and in 1910 but 193, a decrease of 16 per cent in the number of food animals to each 100 persons residing in the United States.

In the meantime the total value of the food animals in the country has increased despite the reduction in number, the department of agriculture estimating the aggregate farm value of the 179,000,000 cattle, sheep and swine in 1901, at 000,000, and the aggregate farm value that comes from being surrounded by familiar things; the surety that the favorite will be in the accustomed place, that the favorite books will be close at hand. It means the spot which amid the changes of outside life remains unchanged in its relation to us. In the series of Craftsman house plans which I intend to contribute weekly to this paper it is my aim to show how directly and simply the needs of home life may be met and how the trouble of housekeeping may be simplified by careful planning and compact building until a woman may be independent of the servant problem and, if occasion arises, find little difficulty in keeping her own house in order. To this end there are no needless passages between rooms, involving doors to be constantly opened and closed. But the connections between the rooms are direct.

Need- of the 174.000,000 in 1910 at 000,000. This gives an increase in the aggregate value of 22 per cent, while the number was declining a little less than 3 per cent, the increase in the average farm value per animal of the enthe number of food animals being per cent. The one class of food animals which shows an actual increase in the period in question is cattle, of which the number in 1901 was 62,333,870, and in 1910, 69.080,000, an Increase of about 11 per cent, while the population was Increasing abont 16 per cent. The farm value of cattle in 1901 is put at 1,411,737,080 dollars, and in 1910, at 1,697.761,000 dollars an increase of per cent in value, while the number was increasing about 11 per cent. The average farm value per head of all cattle is given in 1901 at $22.65, and in 1910 at $24.58, an increase of but 81 per cent in value per head on the farm.

In the markets, however, beef prices showed a much larger advance, the New York wholesale price of "family beef" as shown in reports to the bureau dr statistics department of commerce and labor, being $12.50 per barrel in the first week of January, 1901, and $16 per barrel in the first week of January, 1910, A11 increase of 28 per cent. while the farm value of cattle, according to the figures of the department of agriculture, was advancing per cent. The number of swine in the United States 1s stated by the department of agriculture figures at 56,982,142 in January, 1901, and 47.782,000 in January, 1910, a decline of 16 per cent in number. The value in 1901 is reported at $353,012,143, and in 1910, at $436.603,000, an of 24 per cent in farm values, averadvance. age price per head on the farm in 1901 was $6.20 and in 1910, $9.13, an increase of 47 per cent in per capita value.

In the mean time the New York wholesale price of "mess pork, new" as reported to the bureau of statistics, advanced from $13.25 per barrel in the first week of January, 1901, to $24.75 in the first week of January, 1910, an increase of 87 per cent; and lard is quoted in the same reports at 7.4c per pound in January, 1901, and 13c per pound in January, 1910, an advance of 76. per cent. The number of sheep decreased according to the department of agriculture figures from 59,756,718 in January, 1901, to 57,216,000 in January, 1910, a decrease of 43 per cent. The farm value is estimated at $178,072,476 in 1901, and $233,664,000 in 1910. The value increased 31 per cent, while the number was decreasing 4.3 per cent, the increase in farm value per capita be ing from $2.98 to $4.08, an increase of 37 per cent; the New York price of a stanard grade of wool (Ohio XX) having 'Increased in the meantime from 26 cents per pound in January, 1901, to 37 cents in January, 1310, an advance of 42 per cent.

In the mean thine prices of grains show similar advances. The quoted price of corn in the New York market in the first week of January, 1901, was, according to the bureau of statistics figures, cents per bushel, and in the first week of January, 1910, cents per bushel an advance of 56 per cent; of oats in January, 1901, cents per bushel, and in January, 1910, cents, an advance of 75 per cent; of wheat, In the first week of January, 1901, 81 cents per bushel, and in January, 1910, $1.30 per bushel, an advance of per cent. RECENT TYPICAL IOWA LAND SALES RECENT Among the land sales recently recorded in lowa are the following: John McCarthy sold to John G.

Iowa Land $500 Per Acre. A Cedar Rapids Gazette: Here is a graph from The Des Molnes Evening Tribune which deserves the undivided attention of a great many Iowans, some of whom seem to lack appreciation of the productiveness of Iowa soil and the certainty of ample return in crops year in and year out: "In the end Iowa is to be like Denmark and the agricultural parts of England. Land will bring $500 an acro that today can be bought for $75. A quarter section of Iowa land will then be the foundation of a family estate.

If we ever have dukes or anything to correspond, it will be because of the ownership of Iowa land." Will Iowa land generally speaking ever gO to $500 per acre? Why not? Some Iowa land is selling at or near that figure right now. The land which commands this price is in small tracts, and is made to produce crops which yield a handsome return on the investment. Most Iowa land is just as good, just as productive, When as the little really that 1g down so to high inpriced. we get tensive farming; when every nook and corner of farm land is cultivated and made to produce what It 1s capable of producing, why won't the price be high? Don't be surprised at the increase in the price of Iowa soil. Take it as 8 matter of course.

And act on theory that it is worth while to own Iowa land and reap the profit which is bound to accrue to the owner. of $7,000. Mr. Mountain has purchased the forty-acre tract of land in North Anita, belonging to T. W.

Grim, and has rented the Grim residence property adJoining. GAIN EXCEEDS A MILLION. Last Week's Bank Clearings Shows Big Increase.

April Re- ferring to the challenge from Ida Grove, for any county in the state of like size and population to make a better showing regarding the total considerations shown in deeds filed for record in the recorder's office, during the month of March, 1910. Audubon county asks the privilege of quoting the record of their county, during the corresponding month, believing that Audubon county and Ida county are practically the same in size and population of towns: IDA COUNTY.

Farms $1,505,913.00 Town property 39,397.00 Total $1,545,310.00 From the 15th day of February, 1910. to the 15th day of March, 1910, the total consideration of all deeds filed in Audubon county, Iowa, was $2,059,910.00. Tests With Oats. The peculiar quality of oats to put vigor in farm animals, especially in horses, makes it a valuable crop wherever it can be grown successfully.

The Purdue agricultural experiment station has issued information on the varieties of oats that produce best Indiana. Prof. A. T. Wiancke, who had charge of the tests, in commenting on the varieties tested in cooperative experiments during the last five years, says that Great Dakota averaged 34.9 bushels per acre; Silvermine, 34.8; Czar of Russia, 33.1; Swedish Select, 32.7.

and Early Champion, 25.2 bushels when all were compared on the same basis. The season of 1909 was favorable to the production of oats and the result of experiments on three varieties give Great Dakota an average of 39.5 bushels; Swedish Select, 38.6, and Silvermine, 40 bushels. The seed was drilled on good land at the rate of two and a half bushels per acre on the second and third of April. The formalin treatment was given, which was the means of preventing rust and smut from destroying the crops. There was a period of eleven days between the earliest and latest varieties in time of maturity, although 80 per cent of them ripened within three days of each other.

Cannas. There is no bedding plant equal to the canna for gorgeous colorings, grand foliage and profusion of bloom. They are easily grown, attaining large size in ordinary soil. They are very popular and almost indispensable, as there is always a place for them in any lawn, park or cemetery planting; and they command the admiration of all who see them. The flowers are produced in clusters the entire summer.

It is not a hardy plant and should not be planted out until danger from frost is past, and should be taken up in the fall when the tops are killed by the frost and stored away 1 in a cool, dark place. DISTRICT COURT RECORD. Homer H. Graves vs. Etta Graves; petition.
