AcClilnation Test of Reld's Yellow
Dent Seed Corn.

The Agronomy Department of the
Iowa State College of Agriculture, Ames,
Iowa, has received great many inquir-
les for pure bred Reid's Yellow Dent
seed corn for experimental purposes.
The Department has but limited guam
tity, and Professor Holden desires that
such as is available should be distribut-
ed among as many corn growers as pos
sible or until the supply was exhausted,
The corn has been given termination
test, butted and tipped, each ear she'll
ed separately, graded and handpicked
and put up in cloth packages, sufficient
to plant one-fourth of an acre of ground
or more. A charge of % cts. per pack
age will be made to help defray the ex-
.pense Of preparing, cost Of bags and
postage
Blanks will be furnished later, for
making up report upon growth, maturity
and adaptability in your section of the
state
If parties having good seed corn for
sale will notify the Agronomy Depart
ment of the fact, giving name variety,
color, how long grown in their vicinity,
method of storing, amount for sale and
price per bushel asked, shelled or in the
ear and any other information that will
aid the Department in referring pros
pectSve buyers to them, their names
will be catalogued, complimentary.
Prof. Holden claims that inquiries
should be referred to the nearest supply
of good seed corn.

NO EMPTY CIGAR BOXES.
Internal Revenue office Prohibits
Use OF Dummies" for
Display.

Orders have been received at the Des
Moines office of the internal revenue
collector which will put an end to the
use of empty cigar. boxes for decorative
displays in the windows Of tobacco
shops and cigar stores throughout the
city.
The orders are from the department
at Washington and will be vigorously
enforced.
The custom has been to show off in
the windows and elsewhere boxes of the
rarest brands of cigars that are made.
The boxes look good to the eye and are
calculated to make the passing smoker
covetous. But in many cases the boxes
are empties and are used merely for the
fine display they make.
The decree now is that these "dum-
mics" must go. Dealers found using
them with the brand of the manufacture
or and his caution notice intact are to
be liable to fine or Imprisonment or
both. The order will go into effect
May l.
The department holds that the prac-
tice is calculated to defraud the gov
eminent and the purchasers. Several
of the leading manufactures are said to
have interested themselves in bringing
about the governments action.

An Inhuman and Flendlsh Act.

Some brute fiends in the form of hui
man beings did most cowardly trick a
day or SO ago at sibley, Ia, by saturat-
ing shepherd dog with kerosene, and
then setting fire to the poor creature.
The dog, crazed with fright and agony,
ran about the streets and alleys until
death relieved it from it's awful pain.
Any person who would do such a das-
tardly, inhuman act as this, is unworthy
to bear the name of man, and should be
tarred and feathered, and then put in
an iron cage where people gaze at it.
and call it by any name that it's fiend-
ish appearance might suggest. There
are some people or things, rather, who
take delight in torturing a poor dumb
helpless creature, and there should be
law so severe for such fellows that il
would take all desire out of them tc
perpetrate such inhuman and heartless
deeds. The citizens of Sibley are very
indignant over the matter, and thor.
ough investigation will be made to dis.
cover the guilty parties.

EX-MAYOR AS STREET LABoREp.
Jim Brenton, Formerly Mayor of
Des MolneS, at Work on Streets.

From mayor, the highest Office in the
gift of the city, to member of the side
walk gang, one of the lowest priced
labor under the board Of public works,
tells the story of James Brenton, who
yesterday morning commenced work
with wagon and team under the men
whom he appointed while mayor, says
the Register and Leader. The move is
explained by the former mayor as a
step toward showing the people of Des
Moines that he is respectable, not
afraid to work and in earnest in his
endeavor to regain the reputation which
he is fearful he has lost.
He started to work yesterday taking
orders from j. w. Campbell and w. W
Wise the two members of the board
whom he appointed while mayor of Des
Moines. He announced to the crowd
which gathered around that he was
forced to work or starve. He wanted
to save his home, keep his family in
comfort and that he intended to do it as
an honest workman.
81 took a job as a saloon man at $125 a
month because | had nothing else to do
l now hope to show the people that
can work and that l am honest" ex-
planned Mr.. Brenton. "The fact that
was just one year ago the chief execu-
tive of the city will not deter me in
working faithfully for the board OF
nuh1ic works -

Rlnggold County to Establish Ex,
pertinent Station.

The board of supervisors will consider
an important matter at their session
next week, says the Mt. Ayr News.
The officers of the Ringgold County
Farmers Institute will appear before
the board Thursday forenoon, April g.,
to present the request of the institute
for the establishment of a county, eX-
pertinent station. A resolution asking
the establishment of a station was
adopted at the annual session of the
institute, held recently at Ellston. The
plan is for competent person to be
selected to establish headquarters at
the county farm and to make expert
ments there on crop, soil and live stock
matters for the benefit of the farmers of
the county. The experiments would be
made under the direction Of the state
experiment station at Ames. While the
local work would not be anything like
the expensive and ambitious scale Of
the states work at Ames, it would have
greater value in two ways, one being
that the weather and soil conditions
at the local staff N will be identical
with those under which the farmers
work whose benefit is sought, and the
other being that Ringgold county farm
SrS can DC reacnou more pFOlupUly lfom
a home station than from Ames. The
remarkable success and usefulness Of
the state staff N have become SO we'll
appreciated by progressive farmers
that there can he little doubt that they
will be pleased to have the benefits
brought closer home. The proposed ex-
pense is only 5000 year. AS agricul-
ture is the county's leading industry,
and as most of the taxes are paid by
farmers, other taxpayers can certainly
have no reasonable ground of complaint
if the county board expends this com
paratively small sum for class whose
prosperity benefits all.

Want More Powers for Rural
Carriers.
Rural

The farming element of the veterans
in Iowa have petitioneds' congress to
qualify rural carriers with notarial
powers SO that they may act in the ac-
acknowledgement of pension vouchers.
The strict rules in regard to the certiti-
cation of vouchers and the severe penal
ties work a great hardship to the dis
abled soldier in the rural district.
The acknowledgment of the pension
vouchers must be made before justice
of the peace or a notary public in
county seats and must be made on spec
lied dates. The pension holders claim
this is a great hardship to them and
Eavs cited to congress their grievances
with the hope that carriers may be
given power as notaries public and per-
form this Office to veterans on their
pnui,,s

Des Moines Register and Leader;
"Farm lands are selling about $40 per
acre less in Iowa than they were during
the period of extraordinary high prices
two years ago. said real estate deal
er yesterday.
'But it is my opinion that within
another two years or possibly year
the prices of 1900 and 1901 will prevail
and even higher prices. And these
will remain high. Iowa land is toe
valuable for the price to go down te
any extent and remain low.
Farmers seeking to establish new
homes are looking for cheap land
While Iowa farms close to cities OF
good markets bring prices from SIS te
500 per acre there is yet great dea
of Iowa farm lands which can be pur
chased much cheaper than that"

ROAD LAW DECISION.
Attorney General Mullan decides
an Important Point,

Attorney General Mullan has render
ed an important decision in regard to
the payment of county road taxes,
which will result in the payment of
road taxes in two installments instead
of one. The attorney general holds
that the legislature made mistake in
it's attempt to repeal the Anderson road
law.
The legislature thought it passed an
act appealing the part Of the Anderson
law which requires the payment of the
road taxes in two installments instead
of one. The attorney general holds
that it did not.
The attorney general has made known
his decision to the state auditor and
the executive council, and the various
county auditors are being informed of
the new ruling. The decision means
that only half of the tax will be avail
able for summer work, instead of all of
it, as had been hoped. The other part
cannot be collected until October, when
the season of road working will be too
far advanced to allow much work on the
highways. Part of Attorney General
Mullan's decision is as follows:
PAID LIKE OTHER TAXES.
"By striking out the word may in
the ninth line of section 1888 of the
code, and inserting the word Shall in
lieu thereof, the legislature made it
mandatory upon the board Of township
trustees to require all road taxes to be
paid in money and collected by the
county treasurer as other taxes"
The decision then gives rule for
ievying road tax and collecting it, as
follows:
HE (the township clerk shall within
four weeks after the trustees have
levied the property road tax for the
succeeding year, certify said levy to
the county auditor, who shall enter it
upon the tax books for collection by the
county treasurer as other taxes"
The final conclusions Of General Null
Ian are summed up as follows:
taking all of these different sections
and the amendments thereto together,
and giving each the force to which it is
entitled, it is impossible to reach any
other conclusion than that the provis-
ions of section 1888 and 1910, as they
appear in the supplement to the code,
control the payment Of road taxes and
the collection thereof by the county
treasurer, and that such taxes are due
and payable in two semi-annual in
IT .llments at the Same time that state
and county taxes come due and payable,
and are to be collected in the same
manner"

DRExEL THE COMMON TARGET
County Clerk sim Expects to Win
Test Case on the salary
statute.

After hearing county attorneys mo-
ton for a mandamus to compel County
Clerk Drexel to refund to the county the
amount OF money he is alleged 10 have
overdrawn since April last in the way of
salary the supreme court has set the argu-
ment on the motion for January 3 Mr.
Drexel was represented in the proceeding
by Attorney Harry Bronze, who expresses
the opinion that the intent OF the iegisla-
ture will govern as TO the clerks. treasur-
ers and sheriffs of Douglas and Lancaster
counties.
The contention of the county attorney is
that since April last Mr.. Drexel should
have drawn salary only at the rate of
$3.50 a year, whereas, he has been paying
himself at the old rate OF 1850 a year.
Mr.. Fink, county treasurer, was cut to
5000 year by the same amendment, and
John Power, sheriff, to 81 800. Both have
been drawing at the old rate.
This is what comes from being willing
and good natured," said Mr.. Drexel since
