~ FARMLANDIS BEING QUOTED AT $300 TO $500 ANACRE, I0WA So Declares President of State Agricultural Association in Convention NORTH MINNESOTA IS IDEAL FARM CENTER Lands at Low Prices Produce as Large Crops as High Priced Holdings Des Moines, Dec. 16.—Iowa land prices at $300 to $500 per acre are here to stay, in the opinion of Char- Jes E. Cameron, president of the Iowa State board of agriculture, and the prices of farm products will not 8o back to where they were before the war. President Cameron so declared || in his annual address before the state agricultural convention at the state house. “A few years ago I made the pre-. diction in one of my addresses to this body that land in Iowa in the near future would be selling at from $300 to $500 per acre,” said President Cameron. “That has come true. No doubt the war brought this condition about sooner than natural conditions would have done. However, it is here to stay. People ask me if I think land will stay at that price, and I say, “it certainly will.” It may not go higher for some time,” but I do not think it will go back.” Minnesota Welcomes You. If such be the future hopes of the farmers of lowa, what a wonderful future awaits their coming to Bel- trami county Minnesota. Good land can be had for a few dollars per acre, and from $30 per acre up to $75 per acre, which is not surpassed by anything in Iowa at the exhorbit- ant figures quoted.

Endowea@ with plenty of streams and lakes, this portion of Northern Minnesota is a paradise for the farm- er and settler. Sheep raising is on the increase with good prices paid: for wool.

Who invented sweetmeats and con- fectionery? c Diving deep into the story of the ancients, the writer has come to the conclusion that some, if not all the credit, must go to old friend Noah! He it was who first hit upon the idea of boiling down the starch of the wheat and the juice of the grape. The result was a paste, sald to be the original of our present-day Turkish “delight.” The ancient Egyptlans knew all about making “toothsome morsels,” al- though sugar was unknown. Whole fruits, particularly figs and dates,” were used for flavoring pur- poses, the latter especially for pre- serves and cakes. In .old tombs date sweetmeats have been found; also rec- ords of honey jellies. | The making of confectionery, in fact,,| goes back 3,400, years, proof of which Is to be found on the walls of Egyp- tian tombs. 5 Subscribe for The Pisneer Bones for the Tuberculous.

Doctor Berthier describes in a bul- letin of the Academie de Medicine how he prepares the bones. He se- lects the short, spongy bones, splits them, boils them with vegetables, salt and a plece of meat for almost six hours and then lets his patients pick out with thelr forks as much of the soft bony matter as they can. Another benefit derived from the bones Is that they help to prevent de- eay of the teeth, —_— Glass-Decorating Old Art. The art of glass decorating Is not a modern Bohemian accomplishment.
