NO LIMIT TO FIRE CRACKERS.
Impression that Size of Fire Crack
ers Is Limited not Right.

There is absolutely no law restricting
the size of fire-crackers in Iowa and a
person can make one as big as house
and fire it off SO long as he does not in
terfere in the rights and liberties of
other citizens. Representative Offil,
Iof! Jasper county, at the session of
Legislature last winter, introduced a
Ibill which was widely discussed both in
the Legislature and in the newspapers
of the state. 1t restricted the size of
lfire crackers and made other restric-
ttions concerning the use of explosives
such as have been endangering the lives
of citizens and causing deaths every
Fourth of July. The publicity that was
given the measure has lead many people
| of the state to believe that it became a
law. The fact that it passed the house
also contributed to that end. The bill
failed in the senate and thus did not be-
fcome law.
1t, or one similar to it will be intro
duced in the legislature at the session
next winter and some prohibition may
some day be placed on the statute
books. The only law governing the use
Iof explosives are the general laws of
the state. There is nothing on the
statute books governing the size of a
ltre-cracker directly, nor the kind of eN-
Eplusives that can be used and nothing
governing the sale of such. If person
Injuries another by the explosion of a
giant fire-cracker he is liable for the
damage he has done. If person carries
a revolver on the Fourth of July and
carries it concealed, he is liable for
arrest for carrying concealed weapons,
whether he is using only blank car
tridges and carrying it for patriotic use
or otherwise.
large number of inquiries are being
made because Of the publicity the fire.
cracker bill got last year, but during
the entire session there was no legisla-
tion passed which in any way changed
the fire cracker proposition, and young
America in Iowa this year can cut loose
in the same old fashioned way and blow
his fingures and toes off, for all the laws
OF Iowa are concerned, and dealers can
go right ahead selling the stuff to do it
with.

Changed the Feathers.

E. E. York, who has been running a
feather renovating establishment in
this city for the past month, was placed
under arrest last Monday by Sheriff
Wallace under the charge of embezzling
feathers, the information being filed by
S. I. Norton, substantial farmer Of
Gardeni Grove township. Mr.. Norton
alleges that the feather renovators re-
turned] to him chicken feathers in lieu
of the prime geese feathers which he
was employed to clean, and he came
down to Leon Monday to investigate.
York claimed that the identical feathers
which he obtained from his customers
were returned to them after passing
through the cleaning machine, but ad
mitted that an error might have been
made lin the Norton case and paid Mr..
Norton for the lost geese feathers.
Upon being arraigned before Squire
Holden Mr.. York plead not guilty, and
his preliminary examination was set for
Wednesday, att 1 o'clock, his bond
being fixed at $500. Mr.. Norton's ex-
perience with the feather cleaners led
several of his neighbors to look into the
bed ticks returned to them, and Frank
Lillard, Samuel Matheny and Charles
Mitchell found that by some hocus-
pocus their slumber-alluring geesefeath-
ers had been turned into a mixture of
chicken plumage and unknown compon-
ents, so they came down Monday after
noon and added to Mr.. Yorks embarras-
ment by demanding that matters be
satisfactorily adjusted at once. Mr..
York's busy day is today, for it
seems probable that there will be quite
a large body of citizens will be here
to confer with him on the feather
question. In the mean time he is in
Jail unable to give bail and his partners
in the renovating industry have left
this vicinity.

fine SHORT-HORN HERD
Reporter Editor Spends a Delightful
Day at Weldon Meadows Farm
Fine Herd of Sh0rt-H0rns.

The editor of The REPORTER had the
pleasure last Sunday of spending very
pleasant day at the beautiful farm home
of Mr.. and Mrs. A. II. Meter, miles
east of Weldon, more generally known
as the Weldon Meadows farm.
After partaking of sumptuous din
ner prepared by his good wife, we were
kindly shown about the farm which is
one Of the finest in Decatur county,
consisting of $50 acres and all of which
can be cultivated, fine residence and
beautiful flowers adorning the lawn,
good barns and outbuildings and every
thing which goes to make an ideal
country home.
AS Mr.. Meter is an enthusiastic
Short-Horn breeder we were shown his
magnificent herd, and it is the finest
herd we ever saw, and he we'll might be
proud it, for it is one of the best bred
herds in the state. of Iowa. While we
were admiring the cattle, Mr.. Meter
gave us a short history Of his herd.
The foundation of this herd was laid by
Mr.. Meters father, S. Meter, who was
one of the earliest Short-Horn breeders
in this county, about 3S years ago. Mr..
Meter started his herd about % years
ago, selecting from his fathers herd
the choicest animals, and all these years
has spared no pains or expense in max
lug his herd one of the best to be OBJ
tanned.
His present herd consists of seventy
five head, seven of which are Of the pure
Bates breeding and the rest are richly
bred Bates Waterloos, headed by that
fine animal Meters Union Flag Duke
204929, pure Bates bull. There are
two families in this herd which are
highly priced at Weldon Meadows farm,
the Golden Pippin and Miss Bassetts,
which have been bred exclusively by
the METERS for several generations.
They show their breeding and are the
highest type OF Short-Horns. Capt. J.
D. Brown, of this city, who is perhaps
one of the best posted cattle men in
this part of the state says regarding
this herd: IL have known this herd
from the time it was started, and it is
one of the best in the state. Mr.. Meter
is an experienced breeder and nothing
but the purest bred animals can be
found in his herd"
Mr.. Meter has sent choice animals
to Illinois, Oregon, Montana, Wyoming
Nebraska, North and South Dakota. He
is what isl called scientific farmer
everything onI his farm shows great
care. He has read almost every book
on farming and stock raising published
He took a short course at Ames last
winter gathering up points helpful tc
farm work.

Wedther-Crop-Bulletln
For week ending June 25, 1906.

Des Moines, Iowa.
Complaints of dry weather we're 81
fenced by the generous showers that
refreshed vegetation in all districts of
the state in the early part of the past
week. The amounts reported range
from light to heavy, but there was no
place left unwatered, and there were
no destructive local downpours. Cool
nights and partly cloudy weather pre-
vailed most of the week. Conditions
were favorable for oats, wheat, barley
and grass, and were not at all detri-
mental to the corn crop, which has
been thoroughly cleaned and has made
fairly good progress, giving promise of
being fully up to the average height
and stand by July 1st. The pastures
are now in good condition, and the hay
crop has been improved, though the
yield will be below the average. EARLY
haying is in progress. Garden truck
and the late berry crops have received
much benefit. The general agricultural
outlook is quite satisfactory.

Bank Closed.

The Farmers State Bank at Clear
field has been closed by the state bank
examiner. 1t is said it's books are in a
bad shape, and the actual condition of
the situation will not be known for
sometime. George Green who had been
cashier for the past ten years, was
removed last December and o. C. Hill
has had charge since then, and it was
through him, it is said, the discrepen-
cies were discovered. The capital was
$4,000, deposits about $4,000, and
bills receivable about $4,000. Wiley
Mix claims deposit of $4,000, while
the books show only 5000; about $780,
600 liabilities have turned up that were
unknown and notes for large sums are
found that the alleged makers deny
they ever signed.

RULE ON SCHOOL LAW
Attorney General MulIan Says
Terms of Secretaries are Cut
to Three Months

Des Moines, Ia, June 22.-At the
request of State Superintendent Riggs
Attorney General Mullan has given an
opinion concerning the new school law
which was enacted at the last session
for the purpose Of making the official
and fiscal years end at the same time,
in which he holds that the legislature
has the right to cut three months off
the terms of secretaries of school
boards. The old law provided that
they should be selected at the meeting
OF the boards held the third Monday in
September. The new law provides that
they shall be selected at the first meet
ing of the new board the first of July.
This will cut nearly three months off
the term of every secretary.
A large number of the secretaries
over the state were preparing to re-
slst this and were writing to Super
lntendent Riggs for information. They
held that the legislature had no right
or power to shorten a term. The at
torney general holds that the secreta-
ries of boards of education have no
terms. The old law provided that they
should be selected at the meeting the
third Monday in September and should
serve till their successors were ap-
pointed or elected, but specified no
length of time for the term of office,
Their successors will this year be
selected about three months sooner
than formerly.

For d Sane Fourth.

We have it upon the reliable author
ity of the calendar that the Glorious
Fourth is daily approaching, when it be-
hooves one who loves his fellow-men to
sound the annual, if futile, warning
against the usual noisy and hazardous
celebration of the nations birthday.
Each recurring year seems to find an
increasing adult sentiment against that
form OF celebration which has become
time-honored, and, too, there is found to
be weighed against it an over balancing
juvenile demand to be left uneisturbed
in the patriotic pastime Of splitting
the air with lethal bombs.
Noise has always been this old worlds
way of expressing it's joy and jubilation,
and, perhaps, until the millennium has
arrived, it will continue to be. But
when noise has been yearly added to un-
til it is an annual menace to the nerves
and brain tissue of those in whom the
fires of youth burn but slowly, and when
added to the unearthly racket is the
ever present danger to life and limb
from dynamite crackers and other re-
finements of torture, the maturer popu-
lation has some legitimate plant to
which adolescence, even if hyperpatri-
otic, should pay heed.
But youth is not primarily responsible
for the Fourth as we know it. Undoubt-
edly that it is allowed to transcend all
bounds of safety is due to that indulg-
ent and reminicent attitude of the aver
age American parent, who fondly harks
back to the day of his doyhood's Fourths
and has not the heart to put the ban on
juvenile patriotic eXhuberance.
For the sake of the perpetuation of
the race unmaimed in the name of
sanity and in the cause of adult comfort
American fathers, forget your remenis-
cences, stitle your paternal indulgence
and tone down the celebrations of your
progeny this coming Fourth.
