The Dairy Business in Iona is
Only One of Its Best ASSETS

I The amount is enough to equip the
United States navy with four first
class battleships and then have mil
lion or 80 left over for spending
money.
The dairy business Is practically
ports show that not pound of cream
cry butter was made before 1871. In
that year John Stewart OF Manchester.
Ia, went into the business. He sent
some of his products to the centennial
Exposition at Philadelphia and carried
OF first prize
This started other Iowa farmers un-
til the business of today consists OF
the manufacture of over 100000
pounds OF the creamery butter, to say
nothing of other grades, $500 pounds
Of cheese and other products that had
a value Of $44,500,000 last year.
Iowa produces more butter than any
other equal surface OF the globe except
Denmark and Holland; 1t produces 10
|per cent OF all the butter made In the
United States.
It's manufacture takes nothing from
the soil of the state that has any value
to 1t, but on the contrary the dairy
business increases the fertility. 1t not
only does this, but makes 1t possible
for the by products of the dairy are
used to feed the swine.
The dairy district Of Iowa is con-
fined largely to the northwestern part
Of the state. An average OF $4,000
farmers supply creameries with milk.
This is only a very small per cent Of
the farmers, as 80 per cent OF them
have either neglected the dairy bust
ness or follow 1t only as a side issue. It
is said that this Is the reason that the
dairy business hasn't Increased faster.
The present production is vast only
because a large number are engaged
lin 1t.
The chief dairy counties Of the state
are Delaware and Bremen Each pro-
duces on an average during the year
5000 pounds of butter to the square
Imile
If the same ratio was maintained
Throughout the remainder Of the state.
the production could very easily be
increased to 275,000.0O0 pounds Of but
ter per year, thereby increasing the
wealth Of the state over $4,000 in the
production Of butter alone, to say
nothing about the by products and the
increased fertility of the SOIL

DEPUTY SHERIFF ARRESTS Will
BERT GORDON ON CHARGE
FILED BY WOMAN.

Being insistent in his attentions to
his lady love, so much so In fact as to
cause the said lady love to resent the
same as persecution, got one Wilbert
Gordon of dark hue in bad yesterday.
AS a result of his persistent desire to
carry off the object of his affections
for his babe, the above named Will
bert languishes in the county Jail. The
charge lodged against Gordon is
hardly that to be expected for a too
Jealous sutton, 1t being that of as
sault with the intent to inflict great
bodily injury It would seem, however.
that everyone interested in the case
did not share the view Of Wilbert and
the above charge was filed by mum.
Der OF colored women Of Rutledge
giving the names Of Mrs. Diller, Mrs.
Elliott and Jessie Harris, the latter be-
ing the object Of Gordon's love. A
phone message to the sheriff from
Rutledge yesterday afternoon, brought
Deputy Sheriff John Morrissey and
Frank Kreigh to the mining camp, for
the message informed the sheriff's Of
fee that the said Wilbcrt Gordon was
possessed of gun. which the con-
veyor of the message feared might be
injurious to the people of the mining
camp. BY 6 o'clock, Gordon and his
gun were both safely quartered in the
county Jail awaiting the fixing of his
hearing by the justice OF the peace. 1t
was told the officers upon arrival at
Rutledge, that Gordon, who halls from
Centerville, had been following Miss
Harris and wanted to take her away

CROPS SAFE FROM FROST.
Director says Corn Made Rapid Pro
gress During the Early Part
Of Week.

Des Moines, Sept. 30.-From IS to 80
per cent Of the Iowa corn Is now safe
from ordinary frost and much of the
remainder will require from ten days
to two weeks to be safe from heavy
frost, according to the weekly crop
bulletin issued yesterday by George
M. Chapel, section director OF the
United States weather bureau. DR..
Chappel's report shows that the late
rains have put the ground In fine con-
dition for fall blowing.
The report for the week ending Sept.
rs is as follows:
The first three lays Of the week
were clear and very warm, but the last
four we're cloudy and cool with gen.
orally heavy rain on the ~ and %.
Corn made rapid progress toward
maturity during the early part Of the
week and about IS to 80 per cent of the
crop is now safe from ordinary frost.
Much of the remainder will require
ten days to two weeks to be safe from
damage from heavy frost and would
be seriously injured by freezing tenn
perature within that time. Rapid pro-
gress was made during the early part
of the week in cutting corn and fill
ing silos The late rains have put the
ground in fine condition for fall plow-
ing and that work, together with seed
ing fall grain, Is progressing rapidly,
with large increase in the acreage
Of wheat. The early sown winter
wheat is up and is growing nicely.
Considerable hay was put up, espe-
cially on the Missouri river bottoms
Late potatoes continue to improve
where the vines were not killed by the
drought, but the crop will be light.
Pastures are In excellent condition for
fall and winter feed.

Another Case Of
Appendicitis Cured
Without Operation.

Why? Because 1t did not exist.
Why are the best surgeons in our
country, both in the medical societies
and the medical press, alarmed and
openly proclaim that the frequent AMI
unwarranted operation for so-callea
appendicitis by the ordinary or coH
mon surgeon should be stopped?
1t is simply this-that their knowl-
edge is not specialized and an opera
ton is made; that is unwarranted ana
disgraces by failure the greatest posi-
tive help to humanity surgery.

spring OF 1910 and was told by a pop
ular doctor that would have to be
operated upon for appendicitis. A
friend told me of DR.. Stricken and that
his first examination was free.

thorough examination he made that
my trouble was OF the kidney and not
of the bowel. At this date am well

r. Wright, state dairy commissioner,
that corp is king. but the dairy cow is
queen, and from the royal pair Iowa
gets her greatest wealth, is exemplified
III the report OF the secretary OF agri-
culture showing that Iowa produced
100000 worth of dairy products
last year.
Such vast sum Is hard to conceive,
but when it is compared to other re-
sources, some idea Of what 1t means
can be obtained. For instance, 1t is
more than 70 per cent OF the total pro-
duction Of gold in the United States
for the same period, more than twice
and nearly three times the amount Of
gold mined in California, the leading
gold producing state of the union.

DIVORCE EVIL
NATIONS PERIL
FATHER VAUGHAN IN INTERVIEW
SEES SOCIAL CRISIS I'M
PENDING HERE.

Chicago, Sept. 30.-"America rapidly
Is approaching social crisis through
the effects Of the constant increase OF
the divorce evil. which Is disgracing
this country before the entire old
world. The spread Of socialism in its
dominions and the triumph Of DEM
ocracy over modern Christendom IS
making Americas name a byword
among all other civilized nations"
This was the gist Of a criticism OF
American life made by Father Bernard
Vaughan, s. j., q Jesuit writer and a
leader in Catholic life In Europe.
Father Vaughan is in Chicago as the
guest Of President A. ]. Burrowes of
the Loyola university. He was In at
tendance at the recent eucharistic
congress In Montreal He Is brother
Of Cardinal Vaughan.
Says Evil PeriIs America.
There can be no compromise be-
tween the number of divorces in this
country and those Of England" said
Father Vaughan, because there is
such vast number Of them here. !
have made special study OF the d.
yorce evil and find that 1t Is a condi-
ton that is eating into the vitals of
America. 1t is the sepent that is pots-
oning the strength Of your nation.
Religion Is It's only remedy, for the
evil grows out Of condition of infidel-
ity and agnosticisn. Without religion
you cannot conquer the demon divorce.
The upper strata Of your society is
setting an example for the masses and
the terrible moral disease is spreading.
Socialism Is assuming the vast
proportions of a cult, although its adj
vance Is not so noticeable here as it Is
In England. We are passing through a
great industrial crisis across the wa
ter, for the moving tide of democracy
is pushing everything from its path.
Within the next few years we must
forces in readiness for the gigantic is
sues which are at stake.
Urges Need Of Religion.
"The modernists think they can get
along without religion, but unless they
are awakened to their folly do not
see how they will survive the strides
Of the advance Of our o-called civili-
cation"
Race suicide also received criticism
of people, he said. would be afraid
to show to their friends a nursery
room full Of children. The frequency
Of divorce lies at the bottom of that
feeling. There must be vast improve
ment In the carrying out Of the Christ
ian laws or there is no hone for u.s.
In sermon on Association" before
several thousand members of the
knights Of Columbus at the Holy
Family church last evening Father
Vaughan said that the man Of smart
society Is not really much better than
Ia tramp. because. like tramp. he
does not associate with his fellow
men.
Association" said Father Vaughan
during the course of his sermon, "ts
the mainstay Of life. without associa-
ton you cannot live and clothe your
self properly. A man who cuts off from
association with his fellow beings does
not develop himself. realize himself.
and deprives himself Of physical, So
cial, ethical and moral Improvement.
Without association nothing has ever
in the material, artistic, social, philan-
thropic, scientific or religious life"

BROTHER TAKES
BODY HOME
REMAINS or DUBUQUE SUICIDE
INFERRED AT OLD HOME IN
SHEFFIELD, ILL.

Dubuque, Sept. 30.-The body OF
Rhoda Kemp, the young woman VINO
shot herself In Washington park on
Friday September 16, was shipped to
Shefi1eld, ILL.,, where 1t will be buried
at the girls former home.
Accompanying the remains were mel
brother, Henry Kemp, and John G,
Voelker, Of this city, who will be IN
charge of the obsequies.
AS soon as Coroner Ryan received
the necessary permit from the state
authorities at Des Moines for the re-
moval OF the body from the cemetery
at Linwood, the brother was notified
and he at once came on to Dubuque,
He positively identified the remains as
those Of his sister Rhoda, and imme,
date preparations were made for the
shipment Of the body to Sheffield.
Prior to his departure, Mr.. Kemp
feelingly expressed to Coroner Ryan
his gratitude, and that OF his family,
tor the humanity and the Christian
spirit which Dubuquers as whole
had manifested toward his relative,
and he stated that he and his people
we're deeply appreciative Of it all.
He desires that the contributions
offered for Miss Kemp's burial shall
be returned, but not without a word
Of thanks for the humanity which
prompted the giving on every side.
Tells OF Details.
Prior to his leaving for Sheh1eid
with the body, Mr.. Kemp told OF how
The girl had disappeared from st.
Luke's hospital on Sept. Is, which was
The day before she cane here and COM
mitted the deed.
When her roommate called her
early in the morning, she did not
arise, whereupon the other girl left
her, fearing that she herself would be
late for her duties. When Miss Kemp
failed to show up at the dinner hour
her associates became alarmed, and
a search was made for her, but with
out results. It was learned that she
had left the hospital.
The next day, the girls roommate
received a letter from her, written in
Chicago and stating that she had
packed her suit-cases, which were to
be sent on to her sister, Mrs. Nye, in
Putnam.
This was done. Also a letter was
forwarded to Mrs. Nye at an appointed
day;the missive having been left in
one of the suit-cases. When the sis
ter received this letter, she became
alarmed, for although 1t did not sug-
gest suicide outright, 1t was despond-
ent in tone, and carried with it the
idea that some such rash deed YVES
contemplated.
These facts led relatives Of the girl
/ IN. at 0nra looL har nm and the tan
gled threads Of evidence finally led
them to Dubuque, and to the loosing
of the mystery here.
With the shipment Of Miss Kemp's
body home on Wednesday, the last
chapter Is recorded in a tragic event
which has held the sympathetic inter
est of Dubuque at fever pitch for al
most two steady weeks.
