HOME TO BOOST.

Sioux City has as an institution an
cessful in drawing crowds to Sioux
;ty and is extremely profitable to Its
nromoters. A considerable amount OF
revenue has been derived from the
.rrivileges.' among which the most
prominent has been the privilege TO
sell liquor in defiance of law. rms
has been sold under the understanding
shat the pull of the fair management
would be used to protect the illegal
dealers. Another privilege" worth
good money to the management Is the
the purchased by the "cooch' shows
and entertainments Of similar char
acter. In short the Interstate has been
q wide open fair, with all that the
term conveys.
liz. during the years that the Sioux
City fair has run wide open, there mas
been demand for law enforcement
from the Sioux City Journal, memory
fails to recall It, The fair went" The

nal awoke to fierce activity as re-
former of Davenport and the cities on
the Mississippi.
Now the management of the Inter-
state fair is in serious pickle. The
chickens of annoyance have come home
to- roost on the fences that enclose the
fair grounds. They fear that the law
sill be enforced in Sioux City ana
that the booze privilege can no more
zee sold for $4,000 or thereabouts.
The directors threaten to discontinue
the show In fact the choice appears
Ia be between no law and no fair
The matter is up to a showdown.
The Journal being called, has finally
made local application of precept
Hitherto kept on tap for the governor
and the city Of Davenport, and expost-
,,Jates: eff the existence of the fair
is dependent upon liquor privileges,
the fair is not on sound or defens-
iEle basis,' and points out if the al
fairs Of the association are in siuch
shape that stockholders can be paid
in full and dividend declared 1T
will induce many to say that II the
association Is insistent upon liquor
selling for revenue the plan looking to
Eonidation is entitled to encourage
ment. 1t concludes:
Neither gambling nor liquor selling
ought to be permitted on the Wood
lard park grounds. The Interstate
Fair Association has done we'll with
gambling devices cut out and it should
stand now in support of the policy of
cutting out the sale or liquor any
where on the grounds controlled by
the association.
In all this, however, will be noted

AN extravaganza to say that a growing
sentiment in that direction would more
than offset IN harmful way all the
benefit in other ways the continuance
of the business Of the association could

THE BITTER BIT.


The boys connected with the Bene-
dict piano house, over at Clarinda,
are having more than a little fun at
the expense Of Mr.. Worley Benedict,
since the fore part of the week. Some
one gave him a joke cigar and just
before leaving for his home in Coin,
one evening, he handed it to Mr..
Eert Hess, with the remark: "here,
take good cigar on me-" In due
time Bert went after the smoker
and Of course the thing blew off after
few puffs, much to his surprise,
but he got even all right and this is
now he did it, He and Worley were
To make drive the next day and
when Worley reached Clarinda, Bert
was waiting for him at the piano
headquarters, but when Worley saw
lin, and heard what that cigar was
supposed to have done to him, he
nearly tainted. Mr.. Hess had one eye
bandaged and his right hand was in
a sling, his face was apparently all
powder burned and he was sight
to behold, and it was all blamed on
tt the joke cigar. When Worley was
ali but in tears, Mr.. Hess ripped the
handages off and the crowd took
cigars on Worley and that was no
Joke.

GROWING POTATOES.

NhySdII iNth ltI.J
All who witnessed the many wagon
loads Of potatoes coming into town last
week will have grave doubts as to the
reported scarcity of tubers which form
the chief article of diet on many a
table. But potatoes are not going for
song even in this land of plenty, the
local market buying readily at 60c per
bushel
Among the heaviest potato raisers
in this section is Hortsman & Crops
who raised on leased ground, % acres
from which they harvested $500 BUSH
els OF excellent sorted potatoes of
Rural New York variety They treated
the seed with scientific preparation.
which left the tubers free from scab
and other diseases peculiar thereto
After storing asm any as they could
find room TOR. they shipped the bal
ance and the crop netted them good
profit after hiring all work done.
Bonewitz & Barnes were the next
largest potatoe raisers. who had IL
acres which yielded about 1900 bush
els of excellent quality They also
shipped out the larger portion storing
only enough to supply share of the
local trade A fair profit was also
realized from their labors by this firm.
The potato industry has been large

on their 500 to $3.50 per acre lands.
1t is well known fact that where a
community of farmers make a special
ty on some particular product, like po-
tatoes, cabbage. sugar beets, etc. un-
til a. market Is established therefor
and can ship in larger quantities. there
the market Is the highest be
cause as that section becomes known
to eastern dealers the producers can
ship direct in large quantities at top
prices.
1t was this fact partially which in
duced our business men to- take the
lead in this industry. and now that
they have demonstrated that there Is
good money in the business, we hope
that the farmers will more generally
take up potato growing as part OF
their farm crops.

A CORRECT APPLICATION.


Neither gambling nor liquor selling
ought to be permitted on the Wood
land park grounds. Neither can be per-
mitted under the laws Of the state. 1t
is wholly improbable that the laws of
the state will be amended to permit
fair associations to gather revenue
from the sources named and 1t is
within reason to say that such amend
ment ought not to be considered. The
Interstate Fair association has done
we'll with gambling devices cut out,
and it should stand now in support OF
the policy of cutting out the sale of
liquor anywhere on the grounds con-
trolled by the association. The att1-
tude Of the Anti-Saloon league should
be secondary matter 1t should be the
independent attitude Of the fair man
agement.
If Sioux City cannot establish itself
as the home Of a great interstate live
stock fair, intended for the promotion
of legitimate industries within the
trade territory of the city and thereby
for the promotion of the material bus

Keep away from your neighbours
hog pens, and allow no one to visit
yours. I know there is great deal
OF pride in showing your friends and

If you hear any rumors Of hogs
dying, redouble your efforts to pre-
vent any one going near your pens.
See your local health board and have
the matter investigated. 1t is to
your interest. You would not allow a
person affected with smallpox to play
with your children.
Hogs should be given fresh water
supply. The feed trough should be
disinfected at least once week, and
animals should be pastured away from
the public roads.
Assist the authorities by reporting
outbreaks and by observing the state
regulations in having hogs brought,
fore allowing them to cross the Dor
