FISHING is EXCELLENT.
Winneshiek County Streams Abound
i'm Black Bass and Trout, and
Are IOwa's Ideal Fishing
Grounds.

Not in many years has the fishing
in the Upper Iowa river been so
good as this year, and especially this
fall. While there have been many
good catches throughout the whole
summer, yet the most of the fish
were small, and the same is true to
some extent this fall, although
there have been numerous catches
during the past ten days of large
fish. Almost anyone can go out
along the stream at any place and
catch nice mess of bass.
There is not a better bass and
game fish stream in the northwest
than the Upper Iowa. 1t is an ideal
stream for bass, and lovers of the
sport are making an effort to secure
the stocking of the river this fall
by the state fish commission.
The above notation with reference
to the river is alike true as to our
trout streams. We have without
doubt the best trout streams in
Iowa, and these columns have noted
several times this summer large
catches, some of them weighing
three and four pounds. Properly
stocked and protected, the streams
of Winneshiek county can be made
the ideal fishing resort of the state,
and attention attracted to them from
all over the northwest.

APPEARANCE OF PROSPERITY

The first essential in drawing new
trade is to prove that you already
have prosperous business. The
public believes that if a man is win
ming out he will be doing a large
business and that if his business is
small, it proves that he does not
have the goods"
These things go largely by ap-
pearances. The liberal advertiser
gets the credit of doing big busi-
ness whether he is or not If he
sticks to his publicity program for
a reasonable time, he is sure to get
the big trade merely because he
makes the public believe he already
has it,
On the other hand, the man who
Gdvertises in a meager manner is
generally credited with being out of
the game. A small space in the news
paper is held to indicate small hopes
of getting the trade, and it brings
a small share of public interest The
size of your business will bear a
close relation to the ratio between
your advertising and that of your
competitors
What is true of a store in this
respect is also true of town.

GREAT ATTRACTION OCT. 21st.
''The Girl i'm the Taxi" Coming to
the Grand Next Week Friday.

One of the greatest events of the
present theatrical season will be
marked in this city by the initial
appearance of that widely-heralded
play, adapted from the French. en-
titled THE Girl in the Taxi which
is scheduled for appearance at the
Grand Friday night, Oct. 21st. 1t is
said to be one big scream from cur
tain to curtain.
The mix-ups start at the fiat of
John Stewart on Riverside Drive.
New York. Mr.. Stewards family is
a wife and one son, the wife very
much on the n-with-one-chick or
der, the sen just arriving at tennis
flannels and S. month spending
money, and objecting strenuously to
the penury thus forced upon him.
Indeed, he has been making absent
treatment love to contortionist lady
in the fiat upstairs and pawning his
fathers clothes to buy flowers for
her. Then Percy and Mary Peters
appear upon the scene. Percy is
looking for "the girl in the taxi"
who proves to be Mrs. Smith, the
wife of perfume manufacturer
who comes to pay a VISIT to the
Stewarts on the eventful evening
which starts the play on its rapid
fire, speed-defying journey of joys
and jealousies. The senior Stewart
slides out of the house late at night,
followed by Percy and later by
young BERTHE, the destination Of
each being unknown to the other
The destination of each proves to be
the same dining room in the Cafe
Richie where complications fairly
tumble over each other throughout
the act. The head waiter steers the
whole into greater and greater tur-
moil, the climaxes are postponed,
heightened, the laughs come like
discharges from gattling guns, and
the end of the act, which comes in
a perfect tumult of comedy, finds the
audience almost exhausted from
laughing, and gasping for breath.
1t would be too bad to describe
the last act, which in many ways is
the funniest of the three, and as
the Boston Globe said: There isn't
a slow moment in the entire per-
Torrance.

The history of the Democratic
party has been long story of flirt-
ing with unsound finance. In the
old days it was state banks, in the
70s it was fiat money, in the COS it
was an attempt to dilute the honest
dollar with silver, and in 1908 it
was the guaranty Of bank deposits.

THE PORTER MEET|NC|
Democratic Candidate for Governor
Accorded Good Hearing.
ADDRESS A DISAPPOINTMENT
DOdging State Issues, He DevOtes
His Address to EuIOgy of the
Nation, and Plea for
Insurgent Support.

Hon. Claude r. Potrer, demo-
cratic candidate for governor of
Iowa, addressed an audience which
nearly filled the main floor of the
Grand opera house on Saturday
night, republicans and democrats
alike according him very respect
full hearing. He arrived just few
moments before the meeting from
Elma by automobile, and remained
here over Sunday.
Atty. Frank Sayre, the democra-
tic candidate for county attorney
presided gracefully at the meeting,
which was opened by couple of
selections by male quartette.
Mr.. Porter is splendid speaker,
clean, scholarly gentleman,
man worthy of respect and esteem,
but his address was disappoint-
ment, seemingly to his own parti-
sans. 1t was the same set speech
he has been delivering throughout
the state, and those who had read it
knew what he was about to say be-
fore/ be said it. He began by devot-
ing Yeveral minutes TO an eloquent
recital of the greatness of the Amer
lean republic, its remarkable ad-
vancement and achievements in
every phase of human activity, its
attainment in one century to a posi-
ton reached by no other nation OF,
earth, many of which number their
existence in centuries as We do in
years. That was a splendid eulogy
of the attainments of republican
prosperity.
The remainder of his address con-
stantly reminded us of but one
thing, we couldn't get it out of our
minds. Had we not known the gen.
tlemen and recognized his counter
ance and voice, We might easily have
thought Senator Cummins was
speaking. He took precisely the
same position and advocated the
same things, so far as we could see,
that the progressives have been ar
guing. He quoted in every instance
from the so-called progressive re-
publicans in his attempt to spread
the seeds of discomfort, of dissatis-
faction over present conditions,
present prosperity and present
greatness. One ould think he was
himself candidate for United
States Senator. He spoke entirely
on national issues, as he is doing all
over the state, studiously avoiding
state matters, steering clear of the
whiskey plank of the democratic
platform, with which it is matter
of common knowledge he is not in
sympathy, and throughout his entire
address was plainly making play
for the support of the progressives
by showing the very thing that many
others have argued, that there is
very little if any difference between
what they and the democratic party
advocate.
The whole address was along the
same lines-this is a great, wonder
full country, with a record un-
equalled, now enjoying the greatest
in its history, but darn
this condition, it ought to be chang
ed. 1t is ruinous, unfair, unjust.
Just put the democrats in power and
they will change all this.
