DF.8 MOINES. Ia., Aug. 10.-(SDeclal.)-tohen the administration of President Theodore Roosevelt ends and that of Wil liam H. Taft begin, Iowa Will awake to the fact that It has none of Ita fair -sons In conspicuous positions In the employ of tho government. Thomas C. Dawson, wha la envoy extraordinary and minister pleni potentiary to the government of Colombia and draw a salary of $10,003 a year will hold the most Important position. Iowa w.ll be due to get "something." Under Roosevelt, Iowa had two cabinet positions. There have been reports that Secretary Wilson can continue aa aecretary of agriculture if he wanta to, but there have also been reports that he doesn't want to. So when Taft enter the White House he will find the state of Iowa hold ing fewer federal position outside of the state than most any state tn the union of the Ize and Importance of Iowa. Besides two cabinet positions Iowa had under Roosevelt, the directorship of the mint held by Georgo Roberts. Robert Arm strong was first assistant of the treasury. Conger was minister to China and there were other lesser positions. Pew Places Left to Iowa. Under Taft there will be left the follow ing list of conspicuous positions, imc ot which rre not very conspicuous: Thoma C. DaWson, mlnUter to Colombia at U.00J a year; irranK w. juanin, consul gentim to Nottingham, England at $4,600; Al W. Swalm. consul general to Southampton at $4,600; Silas C. McFariand, consul-at-lare at $4,500; Phillip C. Monterey, consul at Monterey, at $3,600; Thomas R. Wallace, consul at Jerusalem at $3,000; John E. Rowen, consul at Point Sarnla, Faulkland Islands, at $2,000. According to the rule for distributing political plums Iowa will be in a' position to demand some of the really big plums of the nation. The ambassadorships pay $17,600 a year. There are but eight of them taking In the biggest nations. Iowa may not got one but then again It may. It has no cabinet position and it doesn't seem likely to get one and if it can produce a big enough man for th Job it may get a $17,000 ambassadorship which would cost the occupant about twice that amount to fill. About the only possibility of Iowa get ting a cabinet position would be for Cunv mine to be invited to th position of at torney general. The governor, however, and all hi friend expect him to go to the senate and it la believed that the cabinet position will be offered to Kellogg. Mar Draw Ministership. The next step down from ambassadoiihip is that of a minister who draws $10,0U to $12,600 a year and by representing the United States at a smaller country 1 able to savo some money out Of his salary. After that come consuls who get but $1,600 a year or less.. Aside from these positions there are a pumber of positions in Washington that will be made by the change In adiiimlstra Hons from Roosevelt to Taft. Positions in all the departments In' Washington will be made liable to change and In the trdli.ury course of events Iowa will be In an txel lent position to get some of these position If It present the proper kind of material Will Leave Vacancy. ' Many wild guessea are being Indulged In as to the probable action to be taken In filling the vacancy In the United State sea ate and th method b.y which it can be filled have already been enumerated. Only guesae can be haiarded at thl time, but it is believed that nothing will be done to fill the position till after the election next November. Congress I now in recess and there 1 no particular work for a United State senator to do that concern hi office. Congress will not meet regularly till In December and so there will be no neces sity for the position being filled till that lime. Van Daren Hoiaecomlns. There will be oratory of the first class kind at Keosauqua Wednesday and Thurs day of thla week at the home coming ot former Van Buren county people. Rev. J. W. Cheney, whose wife is a niece of the late Judge Wright, will deliver the address of welcome and the response will be, by Walter Irish of this city, with additional addresses by General Jame B. Weaver and Senator Billy Mason, both of whom are orator of recognized ability. There will be an address by George C. Duffleld and ad dresses by J. W. Holland, an eastern min ister and native of Van Buren county, and by George B. Redd, a member ot the Colorado legislature. One of the features of the home coming will be a dinner to all natives of the county who are over 80 years old on Wednesday. On Thursday thero will be a picnic dinner followed by addresses named above and by all the other illustrious suns of the county who happen to be in attendance. A very large number have assured the committee In charge that they hope to be able to attend, but have not been able to promise definitely. Demorrnry'a Mascot. A statue of democracy's mascot done In bronzu adorn the desk of State Chairman Clint L. Price of the democratic slate com mittee. It has teen tho mascot of the. com mittee for some time and the tradition is that It has been handed down from on) chairman to the other for many campaign. Some say that' It was at one time owned by Ed Campbell of Fairfield. Ia.. who Is now dead, and was chairman of the statd committee twenty-five years ag.i. From Hi it time it 1 said to have come down tlnougii the hand of all sorts ot chairmen, having done service for Ed II. Hunter, whom the democrat afterward were ailo to get rid of and whom the republicans have been trying to shake off ever since. There U a tradition that tbe bronze mule, which ha assisted the Iowa committee -in lighting many battles, assumes a very bright and sparkling appearanc early in every campaign. This of course may be due to the fact that on being dragged out of the closet at the opening of a campaign the chairman take It upon himself th first th ng to polish it up a bit. The tradition goes on to say that a th campaign wear on If election day la to be met with disas trous results the mule, gradually grows darker hued, but If the campaign I going to end favorably It retain It brilliancy till the last. It has not retained ita brilliancy till the last during recent campaigns. Record aa Aalmal. If all the live stock that will be on exhi bition it the Iowa state fair thl year wa put In a parade tingle file it would stretch over ten miles. The Iowa state fair la one of the Iowa lirttutloii that th people are coming to be more proud of every year. They have watched Ita growth from an cn terprtx) of uncertain atablllty to one where bundled of thousand of dollar art being Wc invite you to buy any rival beans and serve them with ours. It is easy to say "Our beans are as good as Van Camp's." But compare them and see. Serve both brands together and hear what your people say. A great many people claim to sell beans that are just as good as ours. We invite you to prove their claims. It is a very easy matter to serve both brands together, then take a vote of your table. Let the majority rule. Do the same with your home-baked beans serve them with Van Camp's. Ask your folks which they want next. We fear no competition. We have not built up the largest trade in the world without a reason for it. tory. The result is that superlative xest, that sparkling natural flavor. It is easy to say "just as good." But the best way to settle the question forever is to try the others and see. One great difference usually lies in the original beans. Some beans cost but a fraction of what we pay. We buy only the choicest of Michigan beans, and have them picked over by hand. We accept only the whitest, the plumpest, the fullest-grown. All inferior beans are discarded. The makers who use what we discard of course save a great deal of money. That's why some beans are pushed. Another great difference lies in the tomato sauce. We' could buy sauce ready-made for exactly one-fifth what we spend to make ours. But we use only whole, vine-ripened tomatoes not tomatoes picked green; not scraps from a canning fao- Compare Van Camp's with your home-baked beans in a similar way. And don't feel badly when your people decide that ours are infinitely better. Consider the work that you save. People want their beans nutty, mealy and whole. They want the skins unbroken. They want the tomato sauce baked into the beans to give our delicious blend. That's what they get in Van Camp's. The reason is, we bake in live steam. You bake in dry heat. Your beans are mushy, soggy and broken. Ours remain nutty, because they are whole. Yours are crisped on the top and half-baked in the middle. Ours are thoroughly baked clear through. Your beans are only partly digestible. They ferment and form gas. Ours are wholly digestible they doa't form gas. That's because of our terrifio heat. We separate the particles so the digestive juices can get to them. So it isn't your fault it's your lack of facilities that makes our beans so much better than yours. tUX23 eSrWCS ISnip9S lEAKIS It is pleasant to know, in hot weather, that a dozen meals lie ready-cooked on the pantry shelf. That's one delight in Van Camp's. Each can means one delicious meal, fresh and savory, ready when you want it To get the best beans, baked in the best possible way, . is a very important matter. Beans are Nature's choicest food. They are 23$ nitrogenous, 84 nutriment. They offer a greater food value than meat, and at a fraction the cost. Home-baked beans are not served very often, because they are heavy and hard to digest. Van. Camp's can be served every day. They are appe tizing and hearty; all people like them.' And see how much food you get for ten cents as compared with meat . Suppose that beans not half so good do cost a trifle less. Your people will eat less of them. And no food that compares in nutrition is nearly so cheap as beans. Van Camp's Beans, if you figure rightly, are cheaper than home-baked beans; cheaper than the cheapest brands. For you can serve Van Camp's five times where you serve the others once. ; Please try them and seecompare them and know. Learn what you are missing when you don't serve tho best. Do this today you can't afford to wait Three Sizes: 10, 15 and 20 cents per can Van Camp Packing Company, Ettimd Indianapolis, Ind. put Into permanent buildings and Improve ment to be used for but two weeks of each year for the state fair. There are some features of the Iowa tat fair that places It ln a class all by itself and one of these Is the fact that It Is dis tinctly a farmers' fair, an agricultural ex hibit. There Is not another state fair In the United States that has so many head ot horse and cattle a Iowa. This year the fair break all records by having 1,000 head of horses, Including those entered for the races. No horse how ever ha more than 30!) or 400 horses er-tered. No state fair is In the same class with Iowa's. In cattle there will be $00 head this year. There are several hundred head of sheep entered and the number of hogs, which I limited only by the capacity to take care of them. Is 3.000 head. Allowing fifteen feet for the cattlo and horses and six feet each for the sheep and hogs, if all this live stock was put single file In a parade, It would reach ten miles. It would reach twenty times around the race track on the stale fair grounds and would make a parade ot twenty animals abreast one time around the race track. At no place in the country ran a farmer see so much of the pure bred live stock to gether as at the Iowa state fair, and the farmer who makes a careful ludy of the live stock orj exhibit this year will need more than one day In which to ds It. A hurried look through all the stables will take nearly a day. Thirty Acre of Farm Implements. At stock. Implements and crop products make up the bulk of the state fair. The farm Implements will cover about thirty acres, whlc'c Is all the ground that the management can spare for it. H is prob able that the next legislature will make a purchase of about twenty acres ot land north of the present race track and provide for the moving of the race track north to make more room for Implement. Within the lat few days every effort ha been marte to get a new barn completed for the hor exhibit. It was found tht In splto of the new 1M-I1I barn erectel last year that the capacity of the barns was 1R2 stalls short of the capacity for handling tho exhibits of this year. There was but fifteen days remaining till the fair, but a contractor in Des Moines who erected the building last year undertook to duplicate the work this year and will erect the tlO,"00 burn in fifteen day. Jt la becoming apparent to the friend of th ctate fair that before long there will hav to be a new stock pavilion erected. The fact is that it 1 needed now. The plan for many yeai ha been to have th cattle Judging every forenoon and horte Judging every "evening. Thl worked very well when the cattle exhibit num bered about 400 head and th. horte ex hibit about tl.o same number. Now, with SOD head of cattle and the same number of horse to be Judged, it 1 found that there 1 not time enough to do It working a half day each day during th fair on each. Soon th. fair management will hav to have a separate pavlllou in which to Judge the horses and devote th. present one exclusively to cattle. School Teacher Here. One of the regular Invasion of the state house by the school te.ichers of the state Is now on.

On top of thl wa th assump tion that th. recent prostration ot business and of credit represented an abnormal con dition without due explanation in natural economic courses, but resulting rather from a baseless fright.

Mr. McDonald not only tell th Kngltib paper that he ha paved most of th street of Omaha, but also that creosote wood block paving Is unknown In America. J. J. Mahoney. associated With Charles E. Fauilng, paving contractor, lay that aa far aa he know Mr. McDonald ha not laid a foot of paving In Omaha and ha never been known a a paving roan. Mr. Mahoney alio discounts th Omaha man's story about creoaote block pvlr being unknown here. Thl kind of paving ha been In use more r less sine 1811 and many of th larger cltle hav laid some ot It. It ha never proven entirely satisfactory, however, for the reaaon that to Inject now life Into wood all life remaining In the block jmust first be excluded ad when thl I done the wooden block I on the verge ot decay.
