The best apples in Iowa this year
We're raised in the northern one-third
Of the state. A year ago it was the
opposite and the best apples were
raised in the southern third. This is
due to the fact that last spring the
warm days in southern Iowa started
the buds Inc a late frost did the rest
while in the northern part of the state
the buds didn't start and SO were
safe.

According to a claim made before
the Iowa railroad commission the far
ners of Iowa are to be blamed for the
trouble between the railroads and the
creamery men over milk cans. The
creamery men have petitioned the
commission to make the roads receipt
for the milk can which they receive.
The railroads refuse because they say
that the cans are put out at night
when there is no one to receipt back
to them for them. One company claimed
to have lost $500 worth Of cans during
the yea since January 1, 1907. The
railroads say that If they must re-
cefpt for them they will have to move
the milk on freight trains so as to
make it possible to handle the bust
ness.
One Of the creamery men made the
claim that the whole trouble lies in
the fact that farmers all over the,
state OF Iowa have their haymows full
OF milk cans. The cans are worth
o $3.50 apiece. There We're no far
mers present to deny the charge.

Mail Order Affinity Rejected BY
Girl and Her Father After
Close Inspection
BUT HIS MONEY WAS ALL RIGHT
Episode al Charlton Causes People to

| Special to Times-Republican.
Clinton, Dec. 12.-The rejection OF
a mail order lover by the girl and her
father, after close inspection, but the
acceptance of a sum of money on de-
mand of the ''irate" parent, are caus-
ing the people of this place to wonder
IL a smooth swindle has not been
worked on an unsophisticated man in
search of q wife.
At the depot in this town there
| alighted from the train a we'll dressed
of 40 years, who had been awaiting
her arrival, and when the agreed upon
signal had brought them together, the
girl exclaimed: why, you don't look
like your picture" The girl had
alighted from train No. 8. The man
had been waiting In the station all
morning for the train to arrive. The
bystanders guessed that it was a case
Of courtship by correspondence and
that Charlton had been appointed the
meeting place. They guessed right.
The couple retired to the waiting room
to talk it over. Both were shy and am
lbarrassed Later another nan appeared
on the scene. He was introduced by
the girl as her father. He had come
along to see what kind Of a prize pack
age his daughter had drawn thru re-
sorting to a mail order. He concluded
the article was not up to catalog spec
ification and not only refused the goods
but demanded money because Of the
false representation put forth by the
would-be groom as to his age, beauty,
etc. The stranger was easy and he dug
up a roll OF real money and gave it to
the girl, with a promise to send her
more. With his dream of love and a
happy home shattered, and a fuller
realization of the stringency of the
money market he departed for the west
on No. Q The girl, her heart made
whole again by being bound around
with hat the lack Of which has made
Charlton famous, returned, with her
father, to the family home, said to be
four miles west OF Abba. Their iden-
tity was not revealed.

Iowa State Teachers Associa-
ton Considers the Uniform
Certificate Law Unfair
REGARDING MATTERS OF FEES
Teachers Will Ask Change From Bur-
den Which is Especially Heavy on
Those Poorly Paid, Only on Condi.
ton That an Appropriation Be Made
for the Institutes.
Special to Times Republican.

Council Bluffs, Dec. 12.-The county
school superintendent is authority for
the statement that the Iowa State
Teachers association will ask for a
change in the uniform certificate law,
as to the requirement that teachers
pay a fee for registration Of certifi-
Gates.
The money derived from this
source" aid Superintendent jackson,
lis, used in conducting the teachers
institutes, the fund being made up of
these fees and half of those received
from examinations. In this county the
total amounted to about $1,000, more
than enough to pay for conducting the
institutes. Prior to the enactment Of
the law, the money for the Institutes
was raised from the examination fees,
all Of which were devoted to that pur-
pose. Under the new law the superin-
tendent is required to turn alt Of this
amount over to the state, to defray the
expenses Of reading the papers, work
that Is now imposed upon the state de-
partment instead Of the county super
Iintendents.
"Of couse this provision OF the law
cannot be abandoned without practi-
cally abandoning the institutes, or the
Legislature making an appropriation to
maintain them. 1t is probable that the
teachers will ask that the change be
made, only on the condition that an
appropriation be made for the insti-
tutes. The proposed amount is 81 for
each teachers position in each coun-
ty. The appropriation for this county
would, under that rule, be about $3.50,
which, with the amount received from
examinations in fees, would be suf-
ficient- for maintaining the annual in
stitute.
The principle objection to the fee
for registration is the burden it places
upo the o poorly paid teachers.
The teacher not only is required to pay
81 for the registration Of her certifi-
cate, but is required to pay another
dollar every time she passes a new
grade examination. She may ecu 2
third grade certificate in July and pay
her fee to have it registered so she
can begin teaching in September. II
she succeeds in securing a second
grade certificate in the October exam
ination, h must pay another dollar
for registration, and the same il a
first-grade certificate is secured.
