Money in Dalry,ng.

There is plenty of money in dairy
ing with good cows and up to date
methods, but none with poor cows.
So says Henry Wallace, who is an
authority on almost all topics con-
nected with farming in Iowa. He
proves that by showing that in
in Europe, according to Prof. Nc
Kay Of the state agricultural col
lege, dairymen are prospecting on
lands that are worth all the way
from $500 to $1,000 per acre, and
they are expected to pay interest on
such values as part Of the butter
cost. How do they do it? By breed
ing COWS that will produce an aver
age of almost three hundred pounds
of butter a year. Less than half
that amount is the Iowa average.
This means that $50 is the yield in
cash, plus a calf. In Europe the
yield at the same price (they get
more) is S75.-Decorah Republican.

SLEEPING CAR SERVICE.
c. M. & St. P. Sets the Pace for Other
Railroads Up In the Copper
Country.

The Houghton, Mich, Gazette
contains the following editorial re-
garding the G. NJ. & St. P. service
in the copper country:
We were talking to man yester-
day who has travelled pretty much
all over the globe and he made a
remark that is worthy of note. He
had been on all kinds of trains and
all kinds of steamboats, in every
land and cline. "But," he said, 81

we are not getting any mileage from
the railroad for saying this. Neither
do we have hopes of obtaining an
annual from the president of the St.
Paul, for our editorial conscience
would interfere with the acceptance
thereof, but we quote this traveller
for two reasons. One is that it is
difficult to get an opportunity to say
a nice word about any railroad these
days and it takes nerve for news.

chance and the other is that here in
the copper country we are SO fan

Our Disappearing Trees.

wood as he would use

What Happened in 1907.

Dat, barley and wheat are all
growing fine in spite of the extreme
cold weather. 1t has been feared
that some of the seed that had just
terminated would be killed by the
continued freezing weather but the
latest reports from the fields is that
the seed is either coming good or
else is up. In 1900 the ground
froze May 29th after the corn was
up and Decoration day was freezing
weather up to noon and still there
was fine corn crop and all other
crops good.-Britt Tribune.

At the February term of court in
Algona there was a case entitled
Pulus vs Powelson. It was suit
for damages brought by the plain
tiff who claimed the defendants dog
bit his little daughter on the arm.
Judge Quarton appeared for the de-
PENDANT and the answer denied OWL
ership of the dog and secondly
that it was some other dog that
done the biting. The jury returned
a verdict for the plaintiff for STAG.
A motion was made for a new trial
and on account of some error in the
record this was granted by Judge
Bailie. The case was tried again
this month and the jury returned a
verdict for the plaintiff in the sum
of 1000, all the petition asked for.
Defendant is, no doubt, sorry he
asked for new trial. The last YER
dict is just and equitable. People
who keep or harbor vicious dogs
should be punished. Some of the
jurymen remarked that if the plain
tiff had asked for more they would
gladly have given it to him. One
of the elements in the measure Of
damages considered by the jury was
the fact that the child would have 6

could not wear short sleeves with.

Algona Land Fraud.

The postofiice department has
issued fraud order to prevent the
use Of the mails by the National
Land company and A. Ira Dexter, of
Algona. Iowa. On May 6 these
parties were cited to show cause why
a fraud order should not be issued.
An answer has been received from
Dexter. From the report of the
postoffice inspector sent to Algona it
appears that Dexter is the sole owner
and person concerned in the National
Land company, which is the name
that he has assumed.
Dexter lives at Burt, Iowa. He is
40 years old, owns no property what
ever, and has served two years in
Anamosa, having been charged ten
years ago with obtaining goods I'M
der false pretenses. Lately he
evolved scheme to get farmers to
sign a pretended contract so phrased
as to give an idea that the farmer
is agreeing to pay the National
Land company 81 per acre if that
company sells his land, when the
purpose was to obligate the farmer
to pay 81 per acre for merely list
ing his property for sale.
The inspector reports that Dexter
has secured about 200 of these con-
tracts and is receiving so to 100 let
ters per day. 1t is also reported by
the inspector that Dexter's practice
is to convey such contracts to his
wife, whence they go to an attorney
for collection. Complaints have
been received from over fifty persons
in Iowa. Dexter is now in Jail to
await action of the federal court at
Fort Dodge, June IL.

and big crop is raised in spite of

In the manufacture of linoleum no

OF the great danger Of exploding the

Waterloo is conceded the palm

weight at the age of two months is

other was born small but died. The

A lG-year.old girl teaching school
near Reinbeck, Iowa. sent boy
home for misconduct. The next
day his father appeared with the
boy and demanded his admission to
the school room. The teacher met
them in the hall and refused the
boy permission to enter. When the
father undertook to force his way
past he1, she seized a poker and
pounded him over the head and
shoulders so vigorously that he was
glad to retreat, taking the boy with
him. This vigorous assertion of
authority and maintenance of dis
cipline pleased the people of the
neighborhood SO much that they
gave the young lady 500 dia-
mond ring and raised her salary
from $50 to $50 month. The in
cident moved the Minneapolis Jour-
nal to remark: knowledge of this
incident may be expected to give
many a young school mistress new
courage and result in much stricter
discipline where the bad boy has
assumed to boss things. Raise the
teachers salary, arm her with po-
ker and save the country. Postal
