Des Moines, Iowa, March 23.—The
church raffle at which n ten-dollar
fancy quilt Is disposed of after $40
worth of tickets have been sold and
the whist club which awards cut
glass and pickle castors to the win
ning players are aimed at by the Iowa
Benate In a drastic antl-gambllng bill.
Tbe measure was passed with only
two opposing votes. Half a dozen
Senators declared they could see no
difference between those who play-
poker and roulette for chips repres
entlng money and the person who
play for prizes at some society func

Tbe Indications are that the bill will

Georgia that aniount Reai egtate men to j d
the farmer that no railroad would
ever go near the Missouri lands, but
he sold his farm in Illinois and bought
all he could of the land at $6
acre.
Not long ago David Rankin, who is
the man that bought the cheap acre
age, took an Inventory of his posses
sions in the neighborhood of Tarklo,
Mo. The Inventory showed 25,640
acres, 12,000 fattening hogs, 9,000
cattle, 800 horses, more than 100 cot
tages, In which the employees of the
big farm were housed, great quanti
ties of farm machinery and the like.
The total figures up lo something
like $4,000,000 In value. That didn't
include the 1.000,000 bushels of corn
produced annually or the 150 miles
of tiling and ditches, some of which
had been draining the marsh lands of
forty years ago.
"They say I'm the biggest farmer
In the world," Rankin says, "and I
guess It's true. Lots of men have
more land than I, hut they use it for
cattle ranges only. Mine Is a farm."
Rankin never raises cattle or furn
ishes range. He buys tho raw steers
from the plains and fattens them un
til worth twice what he pays for the
"feeders," as they are called. He
never sells corn, because by feeding
It to cattle, according to n minute cal
culation of his own, he gets more
ample returns. It Is forty miles
from the nearest to the most distant
of his farms.
Mr. Rankin is Scotch-trlsh. He
was born in Indiana in rural poverty.
Ho mado Ills start trading a colt for
calves and raising the latter Into
steers. Today he owns nn implement
factory, a municipal water system, _
telephone company, a bank anil other
enterprises In addition to his farm.
When the notion takes him he adds
$50,000 or so to the endowment of
Tarklo College, a Presbyterian school
In his home town, which has known
his generosity to' the extent of $250.-
000.
The t il) ef Americus will sell Its
Issue of $35,000 of school bonds, $25,.
( 000 fo rtlie now school building and
$10,000 for the agricultural eollege, at
the best price that lias been paid for
any Gcorglu municipal bonds disposed

The entire Issue of $35,000 will be
awarded this morning to Parson, Son
Co., of Chicago, who hid par and
accrued Interest, with a commission
of $1,742 lo he paid to it by the city.
This means that the city will receive
$33,258, or 95 for the bonds. The Am
ericus bonds, nt 95, will net thef hold
ers 4.2 per cent Interest. The recent
Savannah Issue of 'some $2,500,000
bonds at 4 1-2 per cent., which brought
something over 105, netted the hold
