ever operated in this state. was arrested
here while attempting to secure the
bounty on four scalps in the county au-
ditor's Office. Ballinger admits having
purchased many hides for 80 cents a
piece from states where no bounty or
only small one is paid and presented
them in Iowa, which offers s. per scalp.
The officers are now searching for Tom
Teller of Sioux Point, S. D., whom Bal
linger claims purchased scalps in car
lots from all over the west and retailed
them to farmers in Iowa, South Dakota
and Minnesota. The northwestern
Iowa counties have been defrauded of
thousands of dollars in this way in the
past few years, and the same scheme is
said to have worked equally well in
other parts of the state.

them by the government. The con.
gressional appropriation Of s2oo, 900

other list of claims, which he recon-

introduced by the Iowa delegation in

counties interested. 1t is expected that
about $500, 600 more will be asked.

How to Help Your Community.

There is one way in which al
most any one who lives i'll a
community where there IS
newspaper, can be helpful to the
community directly, and to the
newspaper indirectly. To almost
any one who thinks outside of
his or her threshold, there some
times come ideas Or suggestions,
which if put into words would
be helpful to some one. These
could be iotted down as they
come and occasionally put to-
gether and given to the news
paper man WHO would be glad to
publish them. 1t may be that a
farmer learns something about
| his business that he could i'll a
few lines communicate to his
brother farmers and thereby ben
eft them greatly. 1t may be
that some good housewife In her
daily rounds OF duty III house
keeping makes some observation
which would be valuable aid to
some other housekeeper. This
could be written out in a few
lines and given to the newspaper
man who would be glad to print
it for the benefit Of housekeepers
generally.
Some will say they would be
glad to do SO, but they do MOI
wish to appear in print. But i
is not necessary to nave your
name printed to the little bit O.
information you send. Just senc
the information and sign your
name that the newspaper mar
may know he is not being i'm
posed upon, and he will print the
item and leave your name Oft

1t would be a reunion of the

doubtful Republican supremacy
in the New England States, and
his popularity would secure New

Daniel would carry like flash
