A single test upon n small number of
animals Is not conclusive either way,
even when such q test fs made under
normal conditions and by disinterested
parties. Bruschettlni's vaccine has in
past years been criticized and opposed
by rival scientists and by competitors,

AN ofFsH 70 BUILD Az InrsHuasAp.

Many thousands of men read Mar
shall county's crop report showing an
average yield Of 1870 bushels OF pota-
toes per acre without thinking that
there was the way to build an interiil.-
ban railroad from Marshalltown to
Grundy Center. But the fact remains
that the road can be built out of pota-
toes The publishers Of this newspa-
per, speaking seriously, will undertake
to find the men with capital enough to
build a standard guage railroad from
Marshalltown to Grundy Center upon
the following terms.
Free right of way.
Contracts secured by liens upon the
land for an average acres yield of 1870
bushels Of potatoes per annum ror
twenty years from each quarter sec
ton of land lying within four miles of
the railroad on each side.
Having built the road upon this kind
of 9. contract the owners would lease
the entire thirty miles of road for
gross rental of 500 per year to any
company which would purchase three
modern motor cars at $4,000 each and
opef ate q passenger service with cars
eael way every two hours from 6 ia. m.
to IL D. m.
If this seems funny to anyone let him
figuite what can be done with an acre
of potatoes This road can be built for
10000 per mile. Thirty-two quarter
sections per mile would be contiguous
within four mile limit each way. At
an average Yield tfirty-two acres of
pota toes would return 3,S40 bushels per
amin or S1,920 at so cents per bushel
and $1.152 at 80 cents per- bushel,
whereas S1.100 per mile of railroad per
amin will pay per cent interest on
twenty year bonds for half the cost,
retire the bonds when due, maintain
the property from wear and tare and
pay the stockholders 10 per cent an
nual dividends on their equity, leaving
them the road clear of debt at the end
Of twenty years.
Talk about money in potatoes, there's
intel.urhan roads to be made out of
them.

THE PAY OF COURT REPORTERS.
(vinton Eagle)


| The coming legislature will be asked
by the court reporters of the state to
amend the law pertaining to their COM
pensation so that it will more nearly
represent the difference between the
cost of living some twenty years ago
and the present time. The law as IL
stands today on this subject was
passed some twenty-six years ago, ex-
cept some minor changes, and the res
porters are claiming that on account
of the increase in the cost of living eX-
penses that it is inadequate to meet
their needs after paying, as they have
to do in this state, all expenses for
travelling over their district, hotel bills.
supplies, office equipment. etc. Under
these circumstances their request
seems a reasonable one. when we take
into consideration that Iowa pays the
lowest compensation to it's court re-
porters of any state in the union ex-
cept Alabama, Arkansas, Texas and one
or two other states. In thirtY-one 9TH
er states the average compensation Is
about $4,000 per year with Transcript
fee of II cents per 100 words. Iowa pays
81, 200 per year and cents per 100
words for transcripts. 1t is generally
supposed that considerable amount
is realized per year out of transcript
work, while as a matter of fact some
years it an1ou IT'S to practically moth
ing. and in the majority of the dis
tricts in the state it amounts to an
inconsiderable sum in the best of years.
Considering the amount of time and
ability 1t takes to make competent
court reporter, it is only fair and ree-
sonable that orr court reporters should
be compensated more nearly on an
equality with other professional SER
vices requiring the same amount OF
time and ability to acquire That they
are underpaid in Iowa there can be no
question when the increase of living
expenses for the past ten or more years
is taken into consideration. Some states
provide, in addition to the yearly COM
pensation and transcript fees, that the
reporters shall be allowed all expenses
while away from home in the perform
ance of their official duty including
supplies, etc In Iowa the reporter Is
required to pay an his own expenses,
and furnish his own supplies and office
equipment. We know of no reason why
a person occupying a position of as
much Importance to the puplic as the
court reporter, should not be allowed a
compensation that Will give him fair
and reasonable profit at the end of the
year for his work.

TAMA LAND BRINGS SUCCESS.

The Herald tenders its hearty con-
gratulations to neighbor, George w.
Carpenter. In the face Of dire predic-
tons he has reached point where
the future need not trouble him, and
the success he has won has come to
him as the fruit Of his own Judgment
and OF hts own hard work. 1t seems
only few years ago, but it may have
been nine or ten. that he came back
to Tama county - the home of his
boyhood days - from the western part
of the state, where he had an unfor-
tunate business experience.
When Mr.. Carpenter reached Tama
at that time, as he tells it himself, his
earthly possessions consisted of WIFE,
two children and n five dollar bill.
In addition he had sand sense, and
was willing to work. Soon afterwari
he bought farm In Columbia town

was universally considered long price
farm having failed to make both ends
that he had to have.
That year his corn crop came within
$3.50 an acre of paying for the farm
and the next year he sold the place
for Sos an acre.
George was getting start and the
future did not look so dark.
About three years ago he bought q
farm of 1856 acres joining the incorpor-
alton limits of Tama on The east. For
this farm he again paid q. long price
$65 an acre. The wiseacres stood
around and predicted ruin for him,
But he went to work improving his
now place. When he bought 1t there
was not stick on it. He built a fine
new house and barn. lighted them
with gas, brought the land to a high
degree Of fertility, and soon discovered
that the farm would pay good returns
