Enforcing q New Law.

The grand jury which has just
adjourned at Carroll, Iowa, returned
an indictment against the Fairmont
Creamery Co., of Omaha, charging
them with unfair discrimination in
the purchase of poultry at various
towns in Carroll county, alleging
Ethat on the same date the company
paid 9 cents for poultry at Dedham,
and on the same date paid II cents
for poultry at Coon Rapids, in the
same county. At the former place
there was no competition and at
the latter place there was compet-
itor who was buying poultry. This
was in violation of law passed by
the Thirty-second general assembly.

Big Deer Hunt StOpDed.

The much heralded deer hunt
which was to have takens place at
5Ayoca, Iowa, December 1S, was called
on on account of the fact that the
farmers upon whose land the deer
ranged, refused to allow the hunters
to come on their farms for their big
circle hunt, claiming that the deer
did not do enough damage to their
crops to warrant their capture. A
large number of sportsmen from all
parts Of the state had collected for
this hunt and all returned home very
disappointed. Legal steps are being
taken to prevent the capture Of the
herd. @ 81 s s,s

Varhman's Railroad Pass.

In a communication to the edi
tor of the Yazoo Sentinel, MI. Gle
roe Heard, a we'll known cioizen o
Utica who is afflicted with a baC
case of Vardamanitis, asks thi'
question:
"What about the railroad pas
Mai-Vardiman illegally used?
wonder if this charge is to be hell
back to the last so as to allow tn
accused no opportunity to ex
plain, or in reality, was it not al
a dream?
It won't hurt you a bit to won
der, Mr.. Heard, and, if occupation
gives you any pleasure, just keep
right at it.
However, if it will relieve your
mind of any worry, the Daily
News is quite willing to inform
you hat Round Pass No. 864,
issued by the Gulf & Ship Island
road in favor of ex Gov. J. X.
Vardaman and illegally used by
him, is still in existence, and will
be produced in fac simile form at
the prOpaer time.
Furthermore, it will not "be
held back to the last so rs to allow
the accused no opportunity to ex-
plan"
If Mr.. Vardaman sees fit to do
so, he can come forward right now
with his explanation.
He knows the pass is in exist
ence, he knows that he ased it, he
knows that his signature is on its
back, and he knows that he violat-
ed the law in accepting free trans
%portatiOn.
No, Mr.. Heard, it pains us
deeply to say that the story of the
railroad pass "was not all a
DREAM" but a cold and pitiful
reality.
And now, "be still, sad heart,
and cease repining." The Daily
News will print a steel plate en-
craving Of the pass whenever the
spirit moves us to do so. Just at
present we are occupied with more
important subjects. jackson

You can have no better motto

other day: "I can take you right

who makes 100 bushels of corn

him is another farmer who makes
