As sergeant was bawling out his
orders In a barracks in Dublin and
watching the line Of feet a. the raw re.
crults endeavored to obey the word Of
command he found, to his astonish-
ment. that one pair Of feet more mo-
ticeable on account Of their extra large
size, never turned.
Without taking his eyes OF those feet
the sergeant bawled out q second or
der:
"About facew
He could see that all the feet except
those he watched turned In obedience.
Rushing up to the owner. q little fel.
low. he seized him by the shoulder.
shouting:
"Why don't you turn with the rest"
II did!' replied the trembling recruit.
"YOu did. Ell? Well. I watched your
feet, and they never moved"
tits the boots they gave me, sir
said the poor fellow. They're 80 large

of them."-London Answers.

We have heard Of . few of the RE-
PUBLIcAN's friends criticising its course
on the governor question. We pre-
sumo this is but natural, rs where there
10 difference of opinion. all cannot he
suited. We have been opposed to Mr..
Cummins, but have not filed these
columns against him for several reasons.
We think we have abundant and good
reasons for opposing him. The editor
has never attempted to conceal his
views on this subject from single per-
son. We dislike controversy within
the party and hope to gee as little of it
Is possible. We concfde the right of
republicans to favor Cammins and we
acknowledge that many true and good
republicans are doing 90. We think,
however, that his nomination would be
= most serious mistake which We sin
cerly hope will not be made.

Editor Wait, Of the Anita Herald,

Editor Wait, OF the Anita Herald,
says that 1t is very significant that led
itor Mott" was quietly left off" the
Audubon county delegation to the re-
publican state convention. Bro. Wait
assumes that we wanted on and that
we were forgotten" He says "Great
men will sometimes be forgotten"
Now, We dolnot expect to teach Bro.
Wait much by this rerly. We have
1abored with him more or less for
some years and he makes no pro-
gress. Like the mule, he progresses
backward. He in even becoming more
persistently unfair and more willing to
misrepresent his opponent. Bro. Wait
assumes that we wanted on the delega-
ton. He may judge us by himself and
suppose We want on all delegations
from our county. We were not
candidate for delegate to the conven-
and we're glad to help some of our
friends. We are glad We are not sf-
Aicted with desire to be on every
delegation made up in the county. We
think the republicans Of this county
have dealt generously with us and We
do not desire to be selfish. We do not
know what opinion Bro. Wait may
have Of himself, but a. for us, we
think there are great many others
who are just as deserving Of these par
~ honors as we are.

The Des Moines Leader (pro- Cum
mins) contained dispatch last week
saying the delegates from here TO the
republican state convention are all for
Cummins for second choice. About
the same date the Sioux City Journal
(pro. Cummins) admitted they wsre
Anti Cummins but said the Cummins
men did not expect to carry Audubon
county anyway Is it was . good deal
like Lee and Louisa. These two in
dependent papers ought TO get near

Speaking Of the big advance in farm
lands in Audubon county, the same
condition exists pretty much all over
Iowa. The selling price has advanced
twenty or thirty per cent during the
past year. There are plenty of good.
reasons for this. Investment in Iowa
lands Is considered absolutely safe.
They are as good as government bonds.
Iowa lands, while some tracts differ
from others, are nearly all quite
productive and with proper care,
by keeping stock on them and not car
rying of all the substance produced,
and by rotation Of crops, they will be
% good fifty years hence as they are
now. They will not do like some New
England farms, become almost worth
less and have to be abandoned. II
they remain productive, being as they
ere in the corn belt, their value is
bound to increase, for corn and corn
fed stock are more and more in de-
mand a. our home and foreign markets
grow year by year. While this is all
true, yet the past years rate Of advance
cannot long be maintained without
disaster following. We would rather
see steady and slow increase than
too rapid q one. A boom always re-
acts and brings disaster for awhile.
The reaction catches men too heavily
in debt to meet their obligations when
times pinch, hence they have to sacri-
foe and be closed out. Be conserva.
tive and careful.

Al Aaverti.in. scheme,

Several old acquaintances of the late
d. H. McAlpin, the tobacco manufac-
turer. were discussing his business sue
cess I'm an up town club. and one of
them told the following story as Illus
trating the farreaching effect Of COM
paratively insignincant things some
times.
1T was after Mr.. McAlpin was well
started In the tobacco business" he
said, that an entesprising rival began
to cut into his business by advertising
that he placed q dime In every tenth
package Of tobacco put up In his fac
tory. One day q foreman of the pack
ing room went to Mr.. McAlpin and
said:
81 have a suggestion to make that
promises to knock out this dime in ev-
cry tenth package scheme of your rival.
VIII you hear itY
"'Yes: 60 ahead
swell. then. just put q dime In ev.
cry package Of tobacco put up in our
shop and don't advertise It 1t will ad-
vertise itself quickly enough
"Mr. McAlpin saw that the sugges-
ton was good, and he accepted It It
cost him a good deal Of money. but It's
success warranted It. Within a few
weeks farmers were buying McAlpin
tobacco, knowing that they would find
money In each package, and II they
had found diamonds 1t would not have
surprised them."-New York Sun.

DR.. Geo, Ewing, a practicing physio.
ian of Smiths Grove, KY, for over
thirty years, writes his personal exper-
fence with Foley,s Kidaey Cure. "For
several years l have been bothered with
kidney trouble and enlarged postrate
gland. I used everything known to
the profession without relief until I
was induced to use Foley's Kidney
cure. After using three bottles was
entirely relieved and cured. I pre-
scribe it now daily in my practise and
heartily recommend its use to all ply
sicians for such troubles, for I can
honestly state that have prescribed
it in hundreds of cases with perect
success" A. n. Roberts.

Within the past two weeks two sur.
prises we're made in the contest for
governor, Cummins secured Ringgold
county and Conger secured Warren.
It is now figured that Mr.. Cummins
has 1913 instructed and 139 uninstructed
delegates, making 537. Thirty coun-
ties are yet to hold conventions. Nee
essary to nominate, S21. Cummina
will likely be about 200 votes short Of
the nomination ON the start. The
question is whether he has enough
second choice men ia the convention
who will be willing to leave their own
candidates TO give him the nomination.

The race meeting scheduled for Fin

furnish the best sport of the kind shown
here for years. While other meetings
are having more or less trouble in get
ting entries Mr.. Finkle reports every
class for this meeting filled with higher
class horses than in previous years. last
years racing included. The prospects
for the three DAYS meet are for faster
time, bigger field and closer finishes
than ever. When the class of racing
Finkle presented last year is taken into
consideration this means something.
Marshalltown races are usually the
best on the circuit The reason for this
fact is easy to find. The racing people
like to come to Marshalltown. 1t Is a
good race town and it pays it's purses
when they are won. There is no WEIGH
ing on the amount due. They get their
money. Then the date for the races here
is right. The horses have raced at the
several previous meets and rounded into
form. When they get here they are
good. and ready to drive fast heats and
