A Stubborn Husband.

A most interesting phenomenon is
the stubborn husband. He is not a
bad man. He is contrary. and he has
to be managed. He is usually married
to clever little woman, who is con

the things which make their joint
lives success.
He has no suspicion of this. II he
had he would be so mad he could un-
doubtedly eat her. So all through life
she goes on swinging turnip ahead

STATE GAME WARDEN
Annual Report of Commissioner
Lincoln Advocates Changes
In Law.

A law prohibiting the use of fire
arms by minors is urged by State
Fish and Game Warden George A.
Lincoln, in mis- biennial report sub
mitted to Governor Carroll.
He bases his recommendation for
the law on the claim that every year
more destruction is wrought among
the songsters and valuable insect
eating birds of the state by the
thoughtless youths with small rifles,
than is caused by hunters with shot
guns.
He further recommends a law
making it a crime for any person to
have in his possession any but Ii
censed minnow seine. The present
law is so constructed, he says, that
it is almost impossible for the state
game and fish wardens to convict
a man of illegal use of seine or net
unless the person is caught in the
act of using it to secure fish.
He also recommends that hunting
with ferrets be abolished, though he
does not state any specific reason for
it.
Reporting on the condition of fish
and game in this state, he states that
there are more birds in Iowa now
than at this time in many years
back. The last winter, he says, was
good for the birds and the excellent
weather of this fall has induced
many to stay.
Commenting on the work Of his
department IN enforcing the fish and
came laws, Warden Lincoln states
that in some sections CT the state,
the deputy wardens have great trou-
bic, so strong is the feeling against
them. In one county in particular,
ne saws the deputy wardens dare not
reveal their identity else the hotel
and restaurant men will not house
CT feed them, fearing attacks on
their person on property by the SET
Of men antagonistic to the deputies.
Speaking Of the hunters license
law which makes it necessary for
every hunter to hold a license which
is secured from county auditors at
81 each, Warden Lincoln says the
fund thus created has far exceeded
expectations and has put the depart
ment on an excellent financial foot
ing. From Jan l until June SO,
1910, he states, S10S,S77 was rea-
lized from the licenses.
During the period covered by the
report 4449 prosecutions for alleged
violations Of the state laws were in
stituted by the department and fines
of $1O,617.22 collected. Thirty
eight Jail sentences were imposed on
violators and thirty-five persons
were freed of charges. The total
value of seines, hoop nets, trot lines,
traps, dip nets, spears and boats de-
stroyed by the department was
$4,000.

The Primary a Fraud.

Capt. Lewis, who sought the re-
publican gubernatorial nomination
at the Wisconsin primary, has filed
a statement showing that he spent
$1,000, or S1.85 for every vote
he received. The money went main
ly for printing and postage. Nc
Govern, the successful candidate,
did not spend $1,000. He did not
have it to spend. Eut he had the
backing of the brewery interests,
which desired to defeat Lewis be-
lause he favored county option, and
he was La Follette's choice. The
primary is not the three X plan of
nominating candidates for office. 1t
is the three B plan. To stand any
show in a contest for state Office
you must be backed by a boss, a
brewery or a bundle. That is why
the bosses favor what they call NOM
ination by the people. 1t means NOM
nation by the losses. 1t means ac-
tual autocracy in the livery of pure
democracy 1t is a fraud and that
means that We will never abandon it
for the American people love to be
bugged.-Dubuque Times.

ADVERTISING AUCTION SALES.
Farmers Can Advertise More Adj
vantageously Through the News
papers Than BY Sale Bills.

There are no men who can use adj
vertising more effectively and adj
yantageCusly than the farmers who
are holding public sales. 1t must
also be said that there are few men
who lose so much money through
failure TO appreciate the value of
advertising and the necessity of
spending money for it. 1t is true
that public sales are better advertis-
cd than they were a few years ago,
but it is also true that many farm
ers are so averse to letting loose of
little money for advertising that
they indulge in false economy and
greatly reduce their receipts. The
average farm sale should be adver-
tised to the extent of $40 to S25 and
there are many of them that could
spend twice as much and have it
far more than returned to them in
increased receipts on the day of the
sale. Yet there are men who ex-
pect to sell several thousand dollars
worth OF stuff who think they have
advertised literally when they tack
up some bills and distribute some
cards. They save few dollars by
leaving the newspapers alone, but
one additional buyer would pay for
all the advertising and the average
newspaper is read by thousands of
prospective buyers whom the bills
and cards never reach.
That the newspapers are the most
valuable medium for advertising the
public sale will be admitted by any
one who gives a little thought TO the
matter. The cards and bills are all
right, but the territory they reach
is circumscribed. If no advertising
at al were done, even if bills and
cards were not printed, there would
be some people within a radius of a
few miles CT the farm where the
sale was to be held who would hear
about it. The bills and the cards
reach cut farther and should I'M
doubtedly be used, but it is the
newspapers that really give the pub
tic sale the most valuable advertis-
ing. The farmer thinks nothing of
driving ten or twelve miles or more
to a sale, if in reading over the list
of stock offered, he sees some horses
or some cattle he thinks would suit
him and it is these farmers who live
six or eight or more miles away
from the place where the sale is
being held who would not learn of
it from the bills but must depend up
On the newspaper for information

Horse Stealing at Ricevillc.

For the past three weeks a rather
heawy-set man, probably 50 years
of age, wearing a gray mustache,
and giving the name of Farmer, had
been stopping in Riceville, part of
the time at the hotel and part of
the time at private homes.
He purported to be an organ
cleaner and piano tuner, and did
some work along that line, but
when not engaged in that work he
put in his time bcozing
While driving about the country
he had at various times secured the
use of Rev. p. P. Pease's horse and
buggy. Last Monday he requested
a similar accommodation, saying he
wanted to do collecting, which was
granted, but with the understanding
he was to bring the horse back be-
fore night.
Monday night arrived as did also
Tuesday night without the man or
horse Showing up. Inquiry was
made CT some of the parties where
the man claimed to have money due
him, and it was discovered that he
was paid at the time he did the
work. Becoming alarmed, Mr.. Pease
this "wednesday morning set the
telephones to ringing over the coun-
try, but SO far has been uncessful in
locating the man or rig.
The horse is a dark brown geld
ing and is stiffened in front.-Rice-

The Loneliness Within.

There must be loneliness within
DO man can live a life
Clean of the heart -coroding strain
that blurs the depths of strife,
Lest there be lack of strength and
will, the courage and the might,
An inner loneliness that leads to
sweetness and to light.
There must be loneliness within
no artist paints a face
With tender and immortal bloom OF
beauty, and of grace,
Unless behind the face a sCul-pro-
found and pure and sweet
Burns in the loveliness to make the
portraiture complete.
There must be loneliness within
no soul can radiate cheer,
Warm with a spiritual effluence and
Christening atmosphere.
That has not out of bitter need, and
pain, and blight and loss,
Borne to his own Gethsemane, the
burden of a cross.
There must be loneliness within
the marble visage glows
Not with the sculptor's dream alone,
but with the thoughts that rose
OF the ennobling life and deed his
subject-man or woman
Gave to the world to help it grow
more wise and sweetly human.

Yes; the Merchant Who AGvertises
Can Afford to Sell Ii For Less!

No matter what the article is, I'M
less it should be something whose
selling price is as fixed as that of
a postage stamp, the merchant who
is an enterprising advertiser is
sure to sell it for less than the
merchant who does not advertise
For, in spite of his advantages in
buying-buying in large quantities,
for cash or short credit taking in
stant advantage of buying opportun-
ities-his selling advantage is the
decisive factor. For he is enabled
to count his profits on a large ag-
gregate of sales-not compelled to
secure them from a few sales, for
he would then be taking a small
number of customers with the en-
tire support of his business.
A store that makes a net profit
OF 500 in a day from sales to
three hundred customers, Is sure
to sell to each of those customers
on a closer margin OF proht than
is the non-advertising store that is
compelled to make enough to cover
a daily expense of $50 out of sales
made to fifty customers.
If you are one of the 800 daily
customers of the merchant who adj
vertises, you are paying but one
three hundredth part of his store
profits on the days you buy. II you
are one of the fifty daily customers
of the non-advertising merchant
you are paying one-fiftieth of his
profits.
If you are fairly good at figures
YOU will quickly convince yourself
that you ought to buy advertised
things. -

man DENIED
CITIZENSHIP
Was Cruel to His Wife and
Could Not "Cut the
Mustard"

Napa, Calf, Jan. 11.-Bartnett
Levy, prominent business man Of
Napa, expected to be a citizen of the
United States today. Instead he still
is a subject of the King of England
1t all happened because Levy failed
to deny the accusations of his wife
in a divorce suit she recently
brought against him.
Mrs. Levy alleged extreme cruelty
in her complaint. Her husband
failed to deny the charge against
him.
Yesterday Judge Pesford acted on
Levy's petition for naturalization
papers The candidate had answer
ed all the questions asked him, and
already saw visions of the American
flag floating over his place of bust
ness. Then the court threw bomb
and exploded the dream.
Deputy United States Attorney ].
H. Richardson very quietly and very
suddenly asked Levy If his wife had
not received her divorce from him
on the grounds of extreme cruelty,
and IL he had not entered no de-
fense. The petitioner answered yes
to both questions.
Richardson then argued that
man who tacitly admitted that he
had subjected his wife to extreme
cruelty was not a fit subject to be-
come a citizen of the United States.
The court upheld the attorneys
views and Levy left the room with
out the papers he sought.
