MAKING BUSINESS OF BENEYoLENcE

will never be rich. They haven't got

of victory without the struggle. 1t
is necessary to fix the mind pretty
firmly upon the making of money be-
fore it is possible to plan its spending.

Mason City, Oct. 17.--Litgation
which has held up the beginning OF
the construction of second big ce-
ment plant in Mason City is soon to
be finally ended in the state supreme
court On the supreme court docket,
the case is styled e. j. Breen, appel
liant, VS.. l.. A Mayne ct al, but the
case is in reality the Northwestern
States Portland Cement company
against the Lehigh Portland Cement
company, of Lehigh Pa. The case In
wolves the title to bit of land which
the Lehigh company requires for the
erection of their big plant They Sc
cured an option on the property from
l.. A Mayne, only few moments after
an option held by the Northwestern
States company expired. This was over
year ago The case was decided
against the plaintiff. L. j. Breen. who
represents the Northwestern States
Portland Cement company, in the dis
trict court and he appealing the case,
has held it up in the supreme court
ever since.
There is no belief even on the part
of the appellant, that the decision OF
the lower court will be reversed, and
it is generally understood that the ap-
peal was merely a play for time, so
that rival plant could be kept out of
the field as long as possible. The land
in question lies between two other inn
portant holdings of the Lehigh COM
pany, and is absolutely essential for
their plant. The Lehigh company is
more wealthy even than the North
western company, and they contem-
plate the erection of one of the great
est cement mills in the world. The pre-
liminary work will doubtless begin as
soon as the case is finally decided by
the supreme court The case is set for
hearing in the second period of the
September term, which begins on next
Tuesday, Oct. 90.

900 persons tried in vain to gain adj

court was just and right" He analyzed
the decision of the supreme court and
made Chief Justice Dick Haney six
offers of $500 each if he could produce

He declared that Senator kittredge
had told the Mnnehaha County Bar

Egan was passed at Kittredge's insist

what the supreme court would do. He
declared further that Senator Kittredge
told the supreme court what he wanted
written into the decision and when he
found it almost in the very words of
Kittredge he wondered if it was due
to telepathy or the oratory of the

Mr. Egan scored Kittredge's political

a scheme had been laid to defeat Gov

of four Sioux Falls lawyers and asked

in Varying Degrees OF Sue

AN OPTIONAL LAW FAVORED
An Epidemic of Painting on Farms
Near Toledo and Tama-Apples for
Profit or for Enjoyment-Georse r.
Thayer's Rural Observations.
Special to Times-Repub1lcan.


Tama, Oct. 17.-When the law in re-
gard 10 collecting road tax was
changed from allowing the farmer to
work out his tax to making him pay
it in cash. it was argued that this
would enable the different counties to
hire competent help and do the work
much better than by the old system.
In some counties it has proved a bene-
fit because the work has been we'll
done and at season of the year when
the roads would be in shape for win
ter. but the tendency is working back
to the old system of work in the late
fall. I meet nearly every day road
grader or few men with scrapers
filing up the middle of the roads with
loose dirt, sod and grass-mostly grass
This means poor roads all winter, and
bottomless mud holes next spring.
The law might be changed to adj
vantage. One farmer has this sug-
gestion: Compel the farmer to pay
cash, as at present. but allow him to
work for the county each year to the
amount of his tax, providing the work
Is done under the supervision of the
township boss. before July 1. This, he
claims, would have a tendency to bring
the greatest amount of work on the
roads when they need it. The roads
leading from Tama We're diked and
graveied a few years ago by the farm
ers using them and today they are as
hard as flint. Rains do not wash them
and they are good every day in the
year A combination of cash and work
by farmers, looks feasible.
Around Toledo and Tama they have
an epidemic of painting. Barns, houses
and pig pens-in fact everything = is
being painted. Occasionally there is a
farmer who paints all his buildings
and then allows for consideration a
large sign to be put on buildings adj
vising the people to trade with so and
so. He mars the whole appearance of
his place by his penuriousness. I asked
one farmer, How does it happen that
after all these years, YOU got the fever
and paint everything?" well" he said
"lumber is getting awful high and
paint is cheap. A dollar spent on paint
will save me IS in the lasting of my
lumber" Hence the work. 1t is con-
tagious, and improves the appearance
of the farms sufficient to pay, even
tho it were not good investment.
Painting is not all that is being done
to bring farms back to their appear
ance and value. Land that is run down
is being brought back to it's own. A
farm few miles east of HartWiclS
was rented to tenant and from the
land he was not able to raise enough
to pay his rent. The landlord sold
him out, and at the sale the corn crop,
including the weeds and burrs, sold for
$3.50 an acre. This same land this year
in addition to furnishing big crop of
clover hay, produced $50 bushels of
seed, and at a low value, IS per bush
ell, will net him $3.50, and he has riddci
