DUFFY CLAIMS VICTORY
WooDMEN HoNoRs.


The friends of Mr.. T. H. Duffy
national lecturer for the Modern
Woodmen of America, who are man.
aging his campaign for national di-
rector of that society, declare that
they have control of Dubuque coun-
ty. and back up their claim with the
figures to prove It,
There are ten camps in Dubuque
county, three of them in the city
of Dubuque. OF these Hustler and
Ironwood camps have indorsed Mr..
Duffy. and Dubuque camp has in
dorsed one of its own members, Mr..
John D. Dennison jr. There are in
Dubuque county 1923 Woodmen and
of the ten camps, seven, with an
aggregate membership of 1913, have
indorsed MI. Duffy's candidacy. Du-
buque, the single camp indorsing
Mr.. Denison, has membership of
s76. Of the eight camps which have
taken action to date Mr.. Duffy has
membership majority of 1917. Two
camps with membership Of "a.
have yet to act, and even II they
should be against Mr.. Duffy. which
his managers declare is wholly i'm
probable. he would still be in con-
troll Of the county.
Quoting one of his managers:
There is not the least doubt that
the national lecturers friends will
control the convention of Dubuque
county camps" said Mr.. c.. B.
scherr yesterday, I'VE already have
a majority and the two camps yet toI
take action will be for Dufry."

JOS. HUTCHINSON BUYS
QUAKER MILF PROPERTY
OLD LAND MARK PASSES FROM
CONTROL OF QUAKER OATS
COMPANY.
BUSINESS WILL BE CONTINUED
mr. and Mrs. Jake Ensstrem aue
son. Carl, have narrow escape
from serious injury.

Jos. Hutchinson of this city has
purchased the Quaker Mill property
one mile northwest of Manchester
The deal was consumated last Sat
urday and was negotiated by Hogan
Bros. formerly of this city. who have
had contract of sale of the proper
ty for several weeks.
Mi. Hutchinson plans to continue
the milling business as heretofore,
manufacturing practically all Of the
we'll known brands put out by the
old company. An erroneous state
ment has gone out THAT the mill
would discontinue the manufacture
Of flour.
In order to continue the enter
prise. however, 1t is necessary to
have the liberal support of the peo-
pie of Manchester and vicinity. Mr.
Hutchinson feels confident that this
community will Loyalty support the
home plant by giving its products q
fair chance with those which are
shipped in from other mills.
The right to use the word "Qua-
ker" is not included in the trans
fer of the property. The word will
In the future be eliminated from
all advertising matter, sacks, etc.
Tie mil will also bear another name
which as yet has not been consider.

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN.

Des Moines, Iowa.
For the week ending Sept. 4, 1910.
The past seven days were general
ly cloudy and damp, with the aver
age temperature one to- three de-
grees below the normal. Rain fell
in some part Of the state every day
of the week, and as nearly all Sec
tions have received more or less
moisture, there has been decided
improvement in crop and soil condi-
tions. Pasturage and aftermath in
meadows have made rapid growth
and are now furnishing sufficient
feed for stock, thereby. checking the
rush of cattle to market. Fall plow-
ing is progressing rapidly. Some OF
the late potatoes will be benefited
by the rains, but the crop as whole
will be far below the average. There
has been enough moisture over the
larger part of the state to mature
the corn crop, but warm sunshiny
weather is needed for the next four
weeks to place the whole of the crop
beyond danger of frost. Thrashing
was delayed in the western counties
where the rainfall was the heaviest.
Reports continue to indicate more
than an average yield of grain.

team winning two out of three games
will take the entire purse and 60
per cent of the gate receipts, the
