DOLLIvER AND
THE FARMER
The Senator Says There Are No,
Enough People at Work In
the Fields.

II you'll come out to my farm" Sen1
ator Dolliver said In an interview
you may see some of the practical and
indisputable causes OF the increased
cost OF living.
THE population of the country Isl
rushing to the cities. The next cen1
sus will SLOW that fully 65 per cent Of
our population is now urban. This
leaves only 35 per cent to till the soil
Here In Iowa, the greatest agriculI
tural state in the union, the conditions
are little better than in other parts
OF the country, but even out here We
are feeling the result of the drift from
the farms to the industrial centers.
AS long as this condition continues
/ don't see how we can hope for muo.I
relief from the present high prices Of
the things we eat There are moi
enough men working on the farms I'd
feed the nation at reasonable prices
This generation of Americans ID

sists upon being in the white lights
1t wants to look at moving picture
shows at night instead of bathing its
soul in the quiet delights of rural
scenery, mellowed by the moons soft
glimmer and ripening harvest field
1t has hardened its nerves to the
screech and scream of the mephitlc
playhouses, and no longer has its spir

that's the matter with u.s.
With a sweeping gesture of boti
hands he pointed to the rich rolling
hills around him. dotted with white
cottages and barns
"Old Farmer Smith, over yonder
bought his land 80 years ago for s.
or $40 an acre." he resumed To-day
he would not be tempted to part with
1t by an offer of $3.50 an acre. But
he is not living on the farm.
He was forced to leave by present
day conditions. His sons have desert
ed him for the city. They would
rather work for salaries or wages
where the white lights CLEAN, than
to follow the furrow or join in the

And so old Farmer Smith has been

A strong finish will make things

chance for the pennant just now.

With Rouse, Keyes and Bennett to
go against Ottumwa, 1t does not
seem as If Quincy would fare badly
in the next three games. BY Sun
day Howard Morrow will be here
and that will give Quincy one more
good man to pit against the Path
finders.

The fact that Quincy took two
games from Waterloo is proof that
the team is playing good ball. Water

for no matter how many hits the
team made, 1t always made enough
errors to hand Boyle the game. OF

In pitchers battle between Prough
of Keokuk and Kent of Waterloo the
Indians won the first game OF the SER
les of five games which are to be play
ed, the score being the close count
of / to 0. Kent slightly outpitched
Prough, but Pennington's bone head
ed work and his error in the first inn
ing gave Belts men the game. Marve-
lous support by the Indian infield and
outfield saved the game for the keo-
kuk twirler when things looked dan
gerous, although he allowed but four
hits. Two double plays materially help
ed things along and made possible the
victory
Thomas was the mar who again
slipped around the circuit for the lone
run, performing the feat in the first
inning. But two hits were secured off
Kent and in other than the first inning
the Indians had scarcely chance to
score. Annis and Miller were the only
batters able to find the home twirler.
In the last three games in which
Prough has worked but five hits have
been made off him. He pitched no
hit game. one-hit game and yester-
day four-hit game.
One OF the features of yesterday IS

teams. The home team ran bases wild

Jordan Bridge Torn Down.

The old white bridge over the Jor.
dan river near Salt Lake is being dis
mantled.
Built in 1851, four years after the
first white settlement of Utah, for Is
years it was the only dry crossing of
the Jordan.
The pony express used it in going
to and fro between St. Joe and Cali.
fornias the emigrant trains used it as
they entered ON the last stage of their
westward journey, and the Mormon
pioneers used it constantly in going
to and from the lake.
The builders of the bridge had
neither nails, rivets nor iron bolts. but
used wooden pegs for fastening to
such good advantage that the struc.
ture has been in constant service for
more than so years.
