SOME ADvICE,-AND A STORY.

There is a somewhat ancient lesson
contained in the following from the
New York World, but it is so excel

Don't advertise if you believe you
are wasting money. Let your COM
petitor waste his money on advertis.
ing, and perhaps in this way you'll
soon put him out of business. Just
stand back and laugh at him when
you see him squandering his money
for printers ink. Once there was a
boy named,-we think his last name
was Wanamaker, or maybe Money
maker; anyhow, his name was John.
with some sort of a maker attached
TO his last name. He owned fftv
yards of calico, three pairs of leans.
and a half dozen pairs of boots. He
called this a dry goods store through
a Philadelphia newspaper, and off,

cents. The NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

ACTION, NOT WORDS.

One OF the quietest and most un-

pie, who was reared in this city, is
that genial and obliging young gen

favorable to the possibilities of our

words, does his part in the encour-

DELHI ERATE MIsREPREsENTA.
TION

The Des Moines Register and Lead
er OF this morning, under big head
lines, deliberately misrepresents the
result of the republican caucuses in
this county and claims the county for
Cummins. In a special dispatch in the
Register and Leader dated at Ottum-
wa. the three wards in Eldon are
claimed for Cummins as follows:
HE carried the three wards in FL
don and there secured 10. delegates"
This is deliberate falsehood and
must have been published by the Reg
lister and Leader for the express pur-
pose of misrepresenting the situation
In this county and thereby trying to in
fuence the vote in other counties in
the state that have not yet held their
caucuses.
The fifteen votes from Eldon to the
Wapello county republican convention
are Perkins votes and not Cummins'
votes, and they were known to be Per
kins' votes at 10 O'Clock last night.
There was no excuse or reason for the
Register and Leaders publication of
what was known to be absolutely false.
The Register and Leader figures out,
with this false claim Of fifteen Cum.
Minis delegates from Eldon, lis votes
for Cummins and 106 votes for Per-
kins in the county convention. Placing
the fifteen votes from Eldon in the
Perkins column where they belong,
would leave, according to the Regis
ter's figures, 100 votes for Cummins to
121 for Perkins In the convention. The
fact is unquestioned that the Perkins
forces have carried Wapello county.

REPUBLICAN In Kansas believes that his

imagines that his side will win These
are points which should be remem-
bered by the exuberant democrats out

exuberance will save them some NOR

which assailed the business and the

friends, helped to bring financial col

bad name abroad. In the QuantrelI

carried destruction and CONSERVATION

RADIO line. Under the Demo-Pop dis
pensation every day was Black FRI
day. Mr.. Harris assisted in organiz-
ing disaster for the state during the
troublous times Of less than decade
ago. The voters will remember this
on November 6. Gov. Hoch's majority
in 1906 will not be quite as big as that
100000 which he got in 1904, but it will
be so big that Mr.. Harris will not ask
for recount Of the votes.

Carl Schurz, who died at his home
in New York Monday, was one of the
foremost and most brilliant German
citizens Of America and his career was
one Of the most interesting of modern
times. He was noted soldier, IA
nous writer and speaker, diplomat,
United States senator, and cabinet
minister.
Driven out of Germany in 1849 on
account of his connection with the rev.
olution he returned year later under
an assumed name, for the purpose Of
liberating his friend, Prof. Kinkel. who
had been taken prisoner at the sur
render Of the fortress and sentenced
to life imprisonment. This daring and
romantic project was carried to sue
cessful conclusion and created sensa-
ton throughout Europe. His marriage
to Margaret Mayer, the daughter of a
prominent merchant, in 1852. was an
indirect outgrowth of the sensational
rescue Of his friend from prison

DRAG THE ROADS.

Wallace's Farmer: The last gener-
al assembly of the state Of Iowa has
amended the road law in several par
ticulars. They have provided for four
road supervisors to the township, Il
the people so desire, thus limiting the
territory. Another amendment, and
the most important, is that which pro-
vides that farmers who use the drag
on their own roads or on other sec
tions under the direction of the coun-
tv supervisor, shall receive compensa-
ton.
There is therefore now no excuse for
bad roads, wherever they have been
laid out and graded so that the wa
ter when once shed off the road can
get out of the ditch. We therefore
urge every farmer. especially in Iowa,
to provide himself with drag, and
make the roads along his own farm
not merely passable at all times of
the year, but in f1rst-class condition.
There is no need of any farmer be-
ing mud-bound. All that he needs to
do is to get the enthusiasm for good
roads worked UP in his neighborhood,
and then proceed to make them good;
good this year, better next, and still
better the year after that.
The excuse will be made by good
many farmers that they are too busy.
They have to pillow corn. My dear sir,
when the roads are fit to drag you
can't plow corn; you can't work in the
fields, but you can work the roads
with the drag. 1t requires no more
time to keep the half mile Of road
which Is the average on every farm,
in first class condition than it does to
water team of horses throughout the
entire year.
The amount Of money that should be
paid in poll tax in any township II
properly expended for the use of the
drag will make good roads In the
township; better than any farmer now
living expected them to be. Remem-
Der, however, that there are some
things the road drag won't do. There
are conditions under which it will not
work. 1t will not work where there snot
proper drainage. Some of our road
drag enthusiasts are claiming too
much for it. 1t will not supersede side
drainage, nor will it supersede under
drainage Where that Is. REQUIRED. as for
