BOISE, Ida, Oct. l4.-N. F. Nielsen

the Democratic party and declared his
intention to vote the Republican ticket,
is Mormon. Recently Congressman
French caused the appointment of his
son as a midshipman III the navy.
Two years ago Nielsen was in trou-
BILE with his church, He went TO the
Democratic State convention, vowing
that he would there attack and expose
the iniqnities of his ecclesiastical
superiors. BY the time he had reached
Lewiston. however, he had changed
his mind, and, instead of attacking the
practices of his file leaders, he defend
ed them.
Nielsen S present bolt of The Demo

matter of fact, he is doing openly
what practically every other Democrat
ic Mormon is doing more or less secret

party entered upon the campaign with
the expectation that every Mormon
vote in the State would be east against
them. Nielsen is mere tool of the
hierarchy. and in boiling has the addi-
tional incentive Of having been bought
with an appointment for his SON.

Changes In the Middle West.

A striking tendency in the middle
west, and especially in southern Iowa,
is the decrease in the size of farms.
Something less than ninety acres Is
said to be the size Of average Iowa
farms, with the men doing the work
themselves or hiring one man. An ex-
change says that since land has risen
in value from $40 to 500 an acre it
has been found necessary to decrease
the number of acres In the farm, and
the farmer himself is better off for
this, because be is not working SO hard
to make both ends meet nor trying to
cover so much ground. He is making,
In fact, about as much on 160 acres
rightly conducted as he did on a sec
ton of land in the old days. The great
growth of dairying has helped to bring
about this change.
