HARRY SHAW AND THE CLERK

A good deal has been said in the
napers Of the State relative to the or

naming the clerks and other officers.

West Virginian likes 10 help 1t along.
there is but one Office in connection

SENATORIAL FRESHMEN.

strike the State capitol:

1913 DIE IN FLOODS IN MEXICO
Great Destruction Of Property on the

Mexico City, Oct 10.-Floods in the
southern part of the state of Jaliscc
and in the state of Colima have re

Thousands of tons of earth and
rocks descended in great landslides

sixty feet. Many houses were de-
stroyed by floods in the towns of Tux
pan and Zapotillilc. twenty-five lives
were lost during the recent floods in

drowned by the capsizing of boat
while crossing the river. All were
natives. 1t has been some time since
there were such tremendous floods on
the west coast.

MACON REACHES HAVANA
GENERAL AMNEsTYls EXTENDED
TO POLITICAL PRISONERS.
TAFT OUTLINES DUTY OF ARMY
American Forces in Island Must Not
Engage in Conflicts With cubans
and Must Shcw Them All Possible
Courtesy-RebeIs Lay Down Arms.

Havana, Oct. 10.-Charles e. Ma
COON, the newly appointed provisional
governor of Cuba, arrived here. Coin
cident with his coming Governor Taft
gave out a general decree, proclaim
ing amnesty not only to the rebels.
but to all persons charged with polit-
ical offenses or crimes in any way
also issued orders covering the atti.
tude of the American marines and sol
diers toward the people of Cuba.
The officers of marines stationed in
various localities are advised that
they are not expected to take part, in
an active way, in the suppression of
disorder unless extreme emergency
arises in which it is absolutely neces-
sary for them to protect life and prop
erty. The duties of the marines are
generally limited to rendering their
good offices between the conflicting
elements and the prevention of that
friction which, in the high state of
tension between the political parties,
is inevitable during the present crisis.
The order concludes as follows:
"The president of the United States
deems it of the utmost Importance
that the American forces do not en-
gage in conflicts with Cubans, but
that disorders by Cubans be sup
pressed by Cubans. 1t is also expected
that the officers and men, both of the
army and the marine corps, will exert
every effort to show all courtes1es to
Cubans possible of all parties and
avoid in any way injuring their sensi-
biliities."
The order makes it plain that the
marines will remain in the island for
the present, as an adjunct to the in
lantry.
Governor Taft said that practically
all the American warships now in
Cuban waters soon would be with.
drawn.
The appearance Of yellow fever at
Cienfuegos caused the immediate issu-
ance of an order by Colonel Barnett,
directing that the American marines
be removed from that city. The men
were marched aboard the ships.
The disarmament commissioners in
Santiago report that all the insur-
gents in that province have been dis
banded, with the exception of one
band, which is in an inaccessible re-
gion near Bayamou. Governor Taft
has ordered the cruiser Des Moines
to embark the commissioners at San.
tiago City and to land them at Man
zanillao, whence they will be able tc
reach the insurgents camp.

IOWA SEED CORN DAY
Second Wednesday in October is Day
Fixed for Future

How many of our farmers remem-
bered Prof. Holden's golden words of
advice about gathering their seed
corn. October 10th was the day
named when the seed corn should be
gathered. If you forgot this advice
it is not too late to benefit by it now.
The Iowa Corn Growers Association
has been formed having as one of its
purposes the impressing of this adj
vice upon every farmer. The Asso-
citation has adopted the second We'd
neday in October as SEED CORN
HARVEST DAY.
Prof HOlden's Advice.
If every ear of corn that is to be
used for seed in Iowa next year could
be harvested this fall not later than
October 10th and hung up where it
will dry out thoroughly before the
bitter cold freezes of November, it
would add millions of dollars to the
wealth of Iowa."

matured ears from the most vigorous
stalks. strip off their husks and hang
in attic at once where the circulation
of air is good and procession is had
from the cold freezing weather of
November and December. On the
228,O0 Iowa farms an average OF
about 40 acres is devoted to the grow
ing of corn, and while six bushels of
good seed is sufficient to plant this.
let US abundantly provide ourselves
and save two or three times this
amount, as some pests may call upon
US to replant, or our neighbor may be
needing some seed. Remember, it
takes only about dozen ears to
plant an acre. Each ear should have
special care. Up. G. Holden.
