DO You Want Lands ?

We have had many applications in the past
for scrip applicable to unsurveyed land, but
the prices of scrip having that power were pro-
hibitive. We can now locate unsurveyed pub
lie land at a reasonable cost, compared with
the prices generally, and with absolute assur-
ance as to title. Good as. Valentine. Many
overlooked this opportunity when Forest Re-
serve could have been used. This is another
chance.

Robbers Loot store,

The town of Rutland was visited by
burglars and the store of John De
Smidt ransacked of several hundred
dollars worth of merchandise. The
burglars displayed unusual holiness in
their work, deliberately driving a wag-
on up to the front door and taking
their time to carrying out such mer-
chandise as appealed to them. Every.
thing of any value was loaded into the
wagon, and the only clue to the rob-
bers was a pair of old gloves which
was found lying on the counter. It is
evident that we'll organized gang of
thieves with fence in the vicinity are
operating near Rutland, and the town
and vicinity is thoroughly aroused.

Washington County Man Has Taught
School Forty-five Years.
A clever novelist might weave an in
teresting novel out of the life of Nor
gan Davis Brown of Washington coun-
ty. Brown, who was born in Ohio in
1895 and came to Iowa in 1850, has
been an Iowa county schoolmaster for
more than forty five years. There may
be older men engaged in school teach
ing, but it is doubtful If any Of them
have been in a country school SO long.
Mr.. Brown cannot recall how many
terms he has taught nor how many
scholars have been under his care,
but he knows that his highest enroll
ment was lis. Brown says he former
ly applied the rod freely, but in later
years has laid aside the "gad," as the
punishment implement was known In
the early days. He says he never was
run out by the big boys, although he
has tackled some pretty rough schools
in his day. Mr.. Brown will teach this
fall and winter and then he proposes
to retire, as he thinks he has finally
earned vacation

Will Investigate Wreck.

The Iowa state railroad commission
will investigate the recent wreck on
the Rock Island road at Casey in the
hope of getting at the exact cause.
The commission proposes to investi-
gate other wrecks that have occurred
in the state, owing to frequent COM
plants made recently of the many &C
cidents on Iowa roads. Under the
present law the commission has full
authority to investigate and report, al
though authority to compel roads to
make changes and improvements to
avoid wrecks is limited.

He wnnted No HeIp.

The humor of situation sometimes
depends not merely on spoken
phrase. but may turn on the way it is
used. the accent that marks the ex
preston. One day recently tottering,
peevish old man entered the lobby of q
fashionable New York hotel and made
more or less labored advance toward
the elevator used exclusively to reach
the guest rooms. He was not guest,
but had been in the house on earlier
occasions. One Of the hall boys who
had been but little time on the force
approached the old man and in man.
ner that should have indicated dis
position to be courteously helpful said
to him, "AnythingeEoa want. sir" The
old man misintel'preted the hall boys
inquiry as challenge He halted for
an instant, long enough to glare at the
youth, then resumed his way, saying
more to himself than In answer to the
query. "Going up to see my mother"
And, sure enough. he was on his way
to see his mother, ninety-elght years
old. who was younger in appearance
than he and not so peevish by half.

Good For WarnerI

Good For Warner!
It Is always a pleasant thing for me
to applaud good deeds by a Republic
an official. They are none too frequent.
There is Republican official of high
degree at Washington who was good
representative in congress and who is
first rate commissioner Of pensions.
He Is Major Vespasian Warner Of IL
linois. There Ia no fuss and feathers
about him. He obeys the Scriptural in
junction, whatsoever thy hand findeth
to do, do it with thy might" From the
very beginning he has been a success
In the Office which he holds, and it is
one of the most difficult within the gift
of the president. The last thing he has
accomplished of note is the dismissal of
certain pension clerks who were run
ming a shark loan business in the de-
partment itself during working hours,
lending money to their improvident
and impecunious fellow clerks at out
rageous rates of interest. All decent
people. without regard to political at
fliaton, will say, "Well done, Mr.. Com
missioner Warner" Major Warner
was soldier, and he is an honest man.
Like all other honest men, he has a
natural antipathy to those who prac-
tice extortion on the helpless or grind
the faces of the poor. In this matter
it's pity that his jurisdiction does not
extend to all the denizens of Washing
ton. There's too much loan shark bust
ness done in that delectable CITY,

Convention Meets in Switzerland to

Zion-Plans for Pal

Basle.-The interest of Jewish-Ameri-
cans who have faith in the reestablish-
ment of Jewish state is now centered
upon the seventh Zionist convention at
Basic, Switzerland, and to which nearly
so delegates have been sent by the vari-
GUS Jewish organizations of this coun-
try.
Local leaders of the Zionist movement
declare that the question of accepting
the offer of the English government to
organize a Jewish state in British Ugan-
da, Africa, at once is the important prob
lem to be settled by the convention AS
sistant States Attorney Leon Zolotoff
and B. Norwich are the two delegates
sent from this city and they are expected
to be especially active in urging an ac-
ceptance of the offer of the British goy-
eminent.
1t was explained that the original
plan of the Zionists to establish a Jewish
state in Palestine will not be abandoned,
but that plans to further it will be the
first order of the business of the con-
ventlon. The new plan of establishing
q Jewish state under the suzerainty of
the British government in Africa will
first be taken up and may be made the
subject of another special meeting OF
delegates after their principal conven.
tion work is accomplished.

Sons of Israel and other fraternal or

plan of accepting the offer of tla,s Brit

delegates from Zionist organizations to

This activity of the fraternal organi-
cations has stirred additional interest
in the work of the convention, which
begins in Switzerland tomorrow, and
active cooperation and support will fol
low a successful vote upon the ques-
ton.
1.-THE belief in the necessity of estab-
fishing for the children of Israel a
country of their own wherein may be
exercised the freedom of citizenship as
we'll as the worshiping of God accord
ing to the dictates of their hearts has
been strengthened because of the per.
secutions in Russia, and the various
fraternal orders in this country, al
though not becoming annexed to the

strongly championing the acceptance OF

the establishing of Jewish state in
