PUT THE CIRCLE BACK.

Audubon Republican: In contest
down at Keosauqua Judge Anderson
ruled that the intent of the voter
should govern when counting contest
ed ballots. In that county as in many
others some voters had made cross

and generally the judges of election
had thrown such ballots out. But the
keosauqua judge decided that such a
mark was not for the purpose of
identification but to show the inteu-
ton of the voter. This view of the
matter seems to be so reasonable that
1T will be adopted in all further con-
tests that may be decided The con-
test committee in this county followed
the same plan in counting the votes

for which action there is an insistent
demand throughout the state.

THE FARMERS INSTITUTE
Most Important Meeting Of Farmers at West
Side, Friday, February IL. ,

We are convinced that the farmers
OF Crawford have not lived up to
their opportunities in not supporting
big strong Farmers Institute each
year. We know that the farmers in
some other counties of the state are
reaping great benefits from the yearly
meetings. where farm subjects are dis
cussed. Not one day or one after
noon program should be arranged, but
one covering three days, forenoon.
afternoon and evenings. 1t may be
that Crawford being divided between
German. Irish and native born peo-
pie, this has kept them from close as
sociations in Institutes and similar
things of interest to the farmers and
their wives. but the time is now here
when all should be American brothers
and sisters in helping each other.
There is to be an institute at West
Side on Friday, Feb. IL, in the after
noon. We urge the farmers in the
east end of the county to turn out and
make it good one for them. The
leading addresses will be made by
professors from Ames. We see that
in many counties there has been ar
ranged short course in stock judy
Sng and things pertaining to the bet
terment of farm methods and there is
no reason why this cannot be done in
time in Crawford. Maybe the rea-
son why new methods have not been
discussed in gatherings of farmers
comes from the fact that this county
is so prosperous doing things in the
good old way" that there has seemed
no reason for change. Next year the
institute will be held at Denison and
for it big program should be madeS
This is not made up of imported tall
ent, but Of talks and papers by we'll
known successfully Crawford county
farmers. The Wsst Side Journal has
this to sey as to the institute of next
week:
''Messrs. R. j.. Dieter, president,
and E. Downey, one of the executive
committee of the Crawford County
Farmers Institute. were in Wednes-
day arranging for the holding of the
institute this year. The meeting will
be held at the Gerlnania Hall in
West Side on Friday, Feb. II, at one
O'Clock, at which time those present
will be addressed by Prof. Hornmann
and Prof. G. R. Bliss of Ames col
Iege. These gentlemen wilt speak
on subjects of vital interest to the
farmers and others and on which they
have made life study. 1t costs
nobody anything but their time to at
tend this meeting and all will be
mure than repaid for their time in
the good they will obtain frona the
lectures. The farmers should all be
interested in study of conditions on
the farm and how to better them and
| for this reason there should pc a
large attendance. A cordial invita-
! tion is extended to everybody to- be
present and hear these men and get
the good of the meeting.

THE RUSSIAN WILL STAY
Secretary Root Will Not Give Up Rudowitz,
The Russian Revo!utiomst.
Nevada Representations.


The last important act of Secre-
tary Root before leaving the state
department for few weeks vacation
has been to refuse the demand of the
Russian government for the extradi-
tion of Russian fugitive named Ru-
dowitz, who was held by United
States commissioners in Chicago to an
aver to the charge of murder COM
mitted in Russia. There is TO doubt
about the parties having been killed,
and there is little doubt that Rudo-
WITT was connected with the Killing;
but the parties were regarded, with
probable correctness, as spies, of the
Russian government upon the activi-
ties of Russian revolutionists and
were killed because they were believed
to be spies. The sxtradition treaty
with Russia does not include political
crimes among those for which fugi-
tsves may be extradited. and the cues
rion in this case has been whether
Upon the understood state of facts the
conduct of Rudowitz was criminal or
only revolutionary. Secretary Root,
who is, next to she President. the
/ final arbiter of this question, decides
that the conduct of Ruduw5tz was
revolutionary. There has been con-
siderable controversy over the mat
ter and Russians in this country have
been much concerned about it. There
will be sentiment that the matter
has been correctly decided, and the
matter may possibly also assist some
what toward an understanding of the
( feelings Of congressman who have
been making the objections to the
promiscus use of the secret service.

HEALTH IN The HOME
Valuable thoughts in Paper ReM at Pocahm-
tas Farmers Institute.
(Nsss. A. M Tayloa

Improper prepared food makes poor
blood, poor brains. poor muscles and
lowers vitality. Give duo attention,
to all of the organs of digestion and
their functions. Attention should be
given to the os,antity and quality of
food and to the time and regularity of
meals. Attention was called to the
value of food reform to the man ad-
dicted to the use of alcoholics and
narcotics. If we obeyed the laws of
health would climate have SO much
effect upon US? Is there any reason
in nature why people should not live
to healthy. happy. useful old age?
How many of us have settled down to
make the best offit believing it to be
the Lords Prayer for US. not realiz-
ing that we have violated the laws of
health. Proper food. proper air.
proper exercise. with cleanliness
ought to make and keep sound
healthy body. Other essentials fer
health is pure air and sunshine and
plenty of it. A. proper system of
ventilation should be provided in
every home. Tbs care of the cellar
should receive great attention. Keep
ing it clean and pure and free from
decaying vegetables is important.
The cellar should have light and ven-
tilation. The White Plague is the
cause of one out Of every seven deaths
in our country. 500 people die every
day from this cause in the United
States. One offthe active factors in
the development of Tuberculosis is
the habitual breathing of impure air.
One should be careful about taking
cold. A perfectly healthy person
never takes cold. Attention was
called to the value of waber. most
people do not drink enough. A sick
room should be on sunny side of
the house and as far from the. kitchen
as possible. There should be no
extra furniture in the room and news
papers should be used for standcov-
ers. A few small rugs, on the
floor, no draperies or upholstered
furniture. Learn the use of the
fever thermometer, how to take
respiration and pulse. Make patient
comfortable in bed, have plenty of
clean. fresh clothing and admit no
callers. especially the curious. We
have great reason to be thankful that
we have found out that diseare is
fon led non wrong. habit OF life and
.nat une cure is to be found in help
ing nature to build up sound body.
