Sauer Kraut Day at Ackley.

"Saur Kraut Day." which has at
tanned national significance on ac-
count of being the only celebration of
it's kind in the country. is not to pass
into history as seemed probable. for a
meeting has just been held which
means the day will be celebrated in
all its pristine glory on Sept. oath.
The town of Ackley several years ago
deemed a celebration and q general
holiday necessary. and its neighbor on

heavily with its Bean Day." IL was
decided that ''Sauer Kraut Day.
should take its place among the
unique holidays of the state and

most fitting title for the celebration,
and the pieces de resistance are. OF

annual observance of the day this

The recent race riots at Springfield,
ILL.,. has some little local significance
in the fact that one of our BARRIERS, p.
Donegan, has relative who was one
of the victims of the mob. as we'll as
several other relatives living there,
aud was himself born and brought up
in that city. The relative was an
uncle, VIM. Donegan, an old man "a
years of age, man well thought of
and possessed of considerable prop
erty. owning about half block of
land covered with buildings. He
lived several blocks from the real
scene of trouble but the mob went to
his place. dragged him from ham
mock where he had been sleeping.
shot him, cut his throat. and then
hanged him, when he was rescued,
and in spite of his injuries lived I'M
til the next day. That he had mar
ried a white woman was the excuse of
the mob. He, however. had been
married to her for about 90 years and
they had raised family. -Cresco p.

WHY Urban Population Increases.

The drift to the cities is not a
purely American phenomenon, but is
observable elsewhere. In Germany,
for which figures have just been
published, there was in 1871 but SO. 1
per cent of the population living in
cities of 1900 or more inhabitants.
In 1908. however. the percentage of
urban population is "a. 3 per cent. In
Great Britain, too. the population is
huddling itself into cities.
The attraction of city life can not
be the cause of this change. however
strong it may be. for economic advan-
tage invariably rules human beings.
in the mass. 1t must be that, as a
rule, it is easier to make living in
the city than in the country.
The invention of farm machinery is
undoubtedly responsible for large
number of transfers of farmers sons
to the city. The reaper, the harvester
and other farm implements have not
only lightened the farmers work. but
have enabled them to get along with
much fewer workingmen. To raise
enough wheat to feed a thousand
persons is as easy today as a genera
tion ago it was to raise enough to feed
ten persons. No more help is re-
quired.
This cutting down the number of
farmers employees by labor-saving
machinery has had the effect of drlv-
ing into cities thousands of men who
used to be able to make good livings
in the country. They simply had to
come or starve, unless they had money
enough to buy land of their own.
which was not the case with many OF
them.
1t is not the Lure of the cities"
that is depopulating the country, but
stern necessity that compels men to
seek the place where work can be had.

Sold Hand Made" Irish Lace.

Two strange and not any too nice

malice aforethoughs and noticing w.

buy up hundred yards at 5 cents a

little city and presenting it as the

Some of the well-to-do ones paid as
high as seventy-five cents yard,
others fifty, number twenty five,
and few of the last visited were
offered the same lace at twelve and a
half cents yard. Marshall Reporter

To Make Denatured Alcohol.

Marengo. Iowa is to have the first
plant for the manufacture of denat-
ured alcohol to be built in this or any
other western state. Ohas. r.
Cooper, of Milwaukee, has succeeded
in interesting a number of local citi-
zens in the enterprise. They expect
to be ready for business in a few
months. The capacity of the plant
will be 200 gallons day. The pro-
ducts they will use will be grain,
fruits and vegetables.
