Cresco's Home Enterprise.

Well deserved-Is all we can COM
ment upon the card of thanks by E.
Il. Davenport in this issue. He
certainly has shown ability, enter
prise, and, last but not least, surpris-
ing efficiency In producing cigars
that are justly popular not only in
Cresco but wherever they are put on
the market. That goes to show that
the people of this locality recogniz
and appreciate quality goods No
wonder towns of our size offer induce
ments to get factories Mr.. Dave n
port is now employing quite force,
men with families among them, who
pay rent, buy groceries, dry goods,
clothing, ETC., in short spend their
wages in Cresco and in doing so Cresco
gains which is the gain of every citi-
zen. Now, what becomes the duty of
these citizens? To help themselves
by helping those who help them.
Patronize home Industries! In Mr..
Davenport'S case it ought to be no
hardship; just try any one OF his
brands. They are as high in quality
as money, workmanship and
knowledge of blending OF tobacco can
produce; they are made by hand in a
place of sanitary conditions, and
remember and note this-they are
uniform in taste and aroma. So let
us all pull together and help to build
up we'll deserving home industry.
Let every one do his best and 1T will
encourage other enterprises, and In a
short time our city will show by its
growth the value Of living up to the
watch-word: "Patronize Home Indus

Looking Up an Electric Railway Route.

B. Schreiner, a civil engineer Of
Des Moines, was in town Monday in
company with Wilkes Williams, of
Postville, on an exploring trip that
may lead up to an electric line through
this section OF the state. Parties
have been attracted to a route start
ing from Elma eastward to Cresco,
DEBORAH, Waukcn, and thence south
to Postville, Farmersburg, Garnavillo,
Oolesburg and Dyersville, and Mr..
Schreiner and others have been sent
out to look over the topography Of
the country and acquaint themselves
with other details. The route
mentioned certainly looks good from
an interurban system standpoint

MEN MAKE SACRIFICE
TO SAVE HERO'S LIFB
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Kenosha, Wis, Dec. 12.-In order to
save the life Of Fred Augusteen, the
hero Of recent fire in the town Of
Pleasant Prairie, nine men, all menu
beers of the Pleasant Prairie NJ. E.
church, have barred their arms to the
surgeon s knife and twelve inches Of
skin was taken from them and grated
on the leg of Augusteen.
Augusteen was burned Nov. 9 in the
big fire which destroyed the soda house
Of the Latin Rand Powder company.
When the flames broke out he was at
work near the door Of the building and
rushed into the open, but a minute
later he discovered that two men were
still at work in the building. At great
risk to his life he rushed back and
carried one man out and had started
with the second when he fell, overcome
by smoke and the fumes of soda.
Later he was rescued, but he had
been terribly burned. He was removed
to the home Of DIR. Lowe, the physician
of the village, and yesterday it was de-
cided that skin grating would be nec-
essary to save the life of the man.
The matter was referred to Rev. B.
II. Jones, pastor of the M. E. church,
and he, with eight of his parishioners,
went to the Lowe home. The minister
was the first man to subject his arm
to the knife.

Norway's Saloon Regulations.

We do not find our citizens of Nor
wegian birth making any special COM
plant about the Sunday closing order,
nor is there much ground apparently for
the claim that any considerable amount
of dissatisfaction exists among them.
AS a matter of fact, the Norwegians en-
force very much closer restrictions upon
the liquor traffic at home than we do
here. In Norway the sale of liquor is
only permitted in Incorporated cities
and towns. It may be sold only by an
association organized under government
supervision. This association is known
as a samlag and before it can commence
business local option and election must
be held. The vote taken is binding for
six years. If the election district de
cides for the saloon, as many saloons
as may be required can be. licensed, but
none can exist exceptgthey open their
books and their entire records to IN.
spection by the government. The gov,
I eminent takes S per cent of the net
earnings, the municipality takes Is pei
cent, the county takes 10 per cent and
the Samlag or association owning the
saloon gets the balance. The samlag &
net profits, however, must not exceed {
per cent on the investment in any one

A Look Ahead.

With year Of unexampled prosper
ity drawing to a close, the country
apparently is getting into line for an
other one to come. All reports indi-
cate that there will be repetition Of
activity in commerce and industry.
Much will depend upon the crops. The
first Indication Of the crop prospects
for next year. came to hand yesterday
in the last monthly report of the year
of the department. Of agriculture.
The farmers Of the winter-wheat
producing states have covered an area
of 31,341,0O0 acres in their seeding
operations. The, condition of this area
on Dec. l was 94.1, a high average. A
year ago at this time the acreage seeded
was smaller. This year there is an in
crease Of per cent and high condi-
tion combined. A year ago the crop
stood as low as 500 on Dec. j, and two
years ago the condition was 500. The
present stand Of GAL is well above the
ten-year average Of condition, which
is 91.5.
Too much reliance must not be placed
upon a December report, for the wheat
has to go thru the winter and the later
weather, especially alternate thaws and
freezes at the break up, often do great
damage. Last year, for instance, the
area at harvest time was cut down over
100000 acres from that Of the De
cember preceding, and only 29,72s,oOC
acres were cut. This lowered a 500,
100000 bushel possibility in December
to 424,000,0 00-bushel actuality in Au
gust following. Hence, while the pres
ent promise is for a great winter whea,
crop-probably the greatest ever raised
1T may not come out that way.
Nothing augurs 50 well, however, al
good start, and the crop is certainly
entering the race in prime condition. 4

The Meriwether Case.

Cadet Meriwether having been sem
fenced to a. year 8 confinement on the
grounds of the naval academy and to a
public reprimand by the secretary Of
the navy, cannot complain Of having
been hardly used, especially as the sec
rotary has already modified the sentence
to permit Of his joining practice cruises
during the year.
The finding Of the courtmartial is a
compromise between the conscience of
the Judges and the practice Of the
academy. After the department had
winked at fighting and made this form
Of defense almost necessary to the
cadets, it probably seemed unfair to
the court to make horrible example
Of Meriwether merely because his fight
came to a fatal conclusion.
If we mistake not, however, this incl
dent will work some reform at An.
napolis in the matter Of fisticuffs. The
theory on which it is justified, that
fighting is necessary to develop fighting
men, is sanctioned neither by human.
ity nor common sense. The fighting OF
the navy nowadays is done by brain
and not by Drawn. The necessity Of
the navy is for men who are completely
equipped mentally and physically. The
school and the gymnasium are provided
| for these purposes and the prizefght
| has little or no influence upon the de
velopment of the cadet except to retard
it. 1t can do nothing for him except
to blunt his sense Of Justice and kind
ness.
! The secretary of the navy, in hi
annual report, said: There may bs
something to. be fairly said in favor d
! permitting such conflicts, just asi Their,
