sold to John E. Tcmpleton, known to
the amusement world as Captain Car

four organizations on the road and they
all carry animal shows it was difficult
to locate the particular show carrying
the lions on which Leslie had a mort

MANY FARMS SELLING.
Buyers Beginning to Realize Value Of
Dickinson County Lands.

Special 10 Times Republican.
Spirit Lake, Oct. 13.-Durlng the last
month Dickinson county land has been
selling very readily, and at prices that
seem good to the average inhabitant
who has been accustomed 10 see land
sell much lower than 1t Is at this time
We have felt all along that our lands
We're selling or being offered for sale
for less than they were actually worth
compared with lands all around us.
and we are not surprised that so many
farms have changed hands during the
period mentioned. There never has
been time the last twenty years
when there was such a demand for
farms In this county, and 1t seems that
the ones that are all tiled and in shape
to go right onto and get results are
the ones that are selling, regardless of
the price. A great many Carroll and
Guthrie county farmers are buying
here. and they say our lands look just
as good as theirs and command only
about one-half the price.

For The Public Good

One hears a good deal about the
power of the press, but the fact is
that no newspaper has very much real
power over men or events in these
days unless it is known to be stand
ing sanely and steadfastIy for the
welfare of the whole community and
nation. The day Of party organs is
past. Sensational papers appealing to
popular passions cannot move thought
full me1the men who make history.
The only kind of newspaper that
really has tremendous power in these
days is the independent, reliable, dis
interested journal Of wide circulation.
whose columns are known to stand
always for the general good for pub
lie honesty and a square deal. what
ever happens. An excellent example
OF this sort Of journalism is The
Chicago ecord-Herald. It has the
enormous circulation that deservedly
goes with the printing of all the news,
but its power lies in its wise, conser-
vative, Independent editorial policy,
which is shaped with one sole end in
view-the public good. It's news and
columns show the same spirit.
