the state at large will be glad to know
that another police officer who part

from public office. And if he is not
guilty he is in no danger.
The removal laws are due to destroy
many partnerships. They offer COM
mon decency its chance. And with the
temper to which Iowa is coming the
more removal cases are likely to be
brought promptly where conditions in
dictate their ACCESSIBILITY and necessity.
We are due to have fewer chiefs of police,
sheriffs, county attorneys and mayors
who belong ostensibly to the people
but in reality are the creatures of the
element which profits and exists on
protected and purchased violation of
law. When communities actually
arouse, when decency takes off its coat
and really starts looking for the EVIL
dence against derelict officials there
Is little trouble in finding it. And in
dications are that many communities
in this state are unbuttoning their gar
ments and preparing for real business.

WHY NOT A FARMERS BUREAU?

Those farmers-and their name IS
,eeion-who are husking sodden and
rotten corn from the fields where it has
laid all winter under ice and snow have
a forcible illustration of the loss Whicn
a lack of help. even of high priced help,
involves. How much actual cash Iowa
is out because of the rotted corn in the
fields will never be known but it would
fill freight car with $50 gold pieces.

clean up a net profit of $4,000 on a

are doing he can and is willing to pay
we'll for labor. But he simply can't get
it,
It would pay the farmers of Iowa to
es .ablish a bureau in the cities seek
ing decent men with families who are
willing to come to the country on far
annual wages. 1t would be money in
their pockets. 1t is true that most OF
these would not be first class farm help
for the first year but they would be
good help the next year. Within five
years it is not unlikely that Iowa could
have diverted thousands Of good farm
hands to the state, and would find the
money spent in attracting them, assist
ing them to establish themselves the
best money she ever spent

EXPRESS AND PROFITS.

| 1T may be too much to hope for that
| the express companies are about to
be brought to a showdown on their
rates and the public given square
deal Yet a promising lead is opened
up by any inquiry set on foot in Min
neapolis for the purpose of deternin-
ing whether or not the rates charged
by the companies in Minnesota are
unrea soma BILE
The inquiry has developed the fact
that the Great Northern Express COM
pany, which is now capitalized at
81 900 900, represents an original in
vestment of about $4,000. The rates
charged by the company enable 1t TO
pay dividends on its enormous over
capitalization, and the contention IS
made that a reduction of 60 per cent, or
still show a handsome profit to the
company 1t is further shown that the
Great Northern Railroad Company is
practically sole owner of the Great
Northern Express Company, and that
the latter has been paying 40 per cent
of its net proceeds to the railroad for
the privilege of doing business over it's
lines, under a twenty five year con-
tract, and that the companys divi-
dends last year amounted to $5oo,ooo
in addition to which it set aside $l29,-
600 for it's surplus Business men ap-
peared before the committee in charge
Of the hearing and brought out some
interesting facts-one man claiming
that the nature of his business re-
Of his goods by express. and that 1t
cost him nearly $4,000 in charges to
move some $4,000 worth of merchan-
disc. Another firm showed that on
some $1,000, 600 worth of business 1t
paid to the express companies about
s4o0. 900.
The Minneapolis inquiry is to be
followed by others by the interstate
comm cree commence commission for
the purpose of finding out the facts in
regard to the business of the United
States Express Company, the Wells
Fargo Express Company and the
American Express Company, all of
which are under criticism for exacting
rates out of proportion to the service
rendered.
The express companies will get
theirs" one of these days. They might
take it as sinister omen of what is
going to happen to them that their
old time protector, Tom Platt is dead.
Yet they are strengthening the argu-
ment of the advocates Of parcels post
as the most effective single weapon
with which the express companies
could be disciplined.

old-Time Speakin'.

Old ine Speakfn.
We want the old-time speakin' of the
old schools, long ago.
The log schoolhouse that nestled
where the daisies loved to grow
Where Mary's little lamb was led with
fleece as white as snow,
And we set old "CurfeW'' ringing in
the mornin.
We want the old-tine speakin' that
our mothers thought was fine
The boy that kept the burnin deck
While red flames swept the line;
The soldier born at Bingen-at Bingen
on the Rhine"
When we set the bugles BLOWN IN
the mornin'.
we want to hear the old-time bare
footed fellers speak,
Their sweethearrs clappin' of their
hands. the rose bloom on each
cheek;
Uhey didn't know much Latin then;
they galloped far from Greek,
But they sent the echoes ringing III
the mornin'.
lord bless the old-time speaker! 1t
always brings the tears
To think the old-time schoolhouse went
with the old-time years!
want to see that soldier who was dy-
ing in Algiers,
An set the drums a-beatin' in the
mornin'.

men talk about voting for him as a

any means all "progressives" but they
are old line republicans, and they speak
right out and say what they think. Mr.
Smith, if he is losing ground as rap
idly in the rest Of the district as in
this part of Cass county must needs
place his reserve forces in the field;
for it is only short few weeks until
the primary election This primary
means much to Walter I Smith. and
If he is beaten he may charge his de-
feat to no one more than himself.

the TROUBLE AT COUNCIL BLUFFS.

Council Bluffs is seeking decent
reputation and appears to be going the
right way about finding it. For many
years that city has borne an evil rep
utation by reason of it's partnership
with vice. 1t was content to divide the
proceeds of gaming houses, prostitu-
ton and the like, with those who make
vice a business 1t has been stated
over and over that Council Bluffs col
Iected $4,000 a year from gamblers who
conducted their illegal graft under the
protection of the city administration.
But with the opportunity afforded by
an attorney general who recognized his
duty of law enforcement and by the
aid Of some recent legislation, the de-
cency Of that city dissolved the part
nership with crooks and insisted on
common civic decency. 1t had grown
weary Of standing as a city of refuge
for the swindlers and pimps whom
other cities spewed outside their cor
porate limits.
Just now there is trouble in Council
Bluffs. The chief of police is being
proceeded against under the removal
law. He is charged with having per-
n1itted gambling houses and other
vicious resorts to run with his knowl-
edge, if not with his approval And the
decent portion of the city which in
Council Bluffs as in every other city
Is vastly in majority, proposes to find
put why the law is not enforced by
the official most directly responsible
for its enforcement.
The Council Bluffs way is the right
way. Removal proceedings are fair
method of attack. 1t is an open trial.
At least five responsible men must
come out into the open to start It
and take their chance Of having the
costs of the case assessed against them
IL the defendant is acquitted. The man
accused meets a fair and open trial.
He can not complain. If circumstances
anu fa.lts Justify the proceedings and
he has no just cause Of complaint IL he
IL shown to be guilty and removed
from office by the court. In Chief

COMPOSITION OF FRUITS AND vEGETABLES.
Il. Composition Of potato. 2. Composition
OF cabbage. g. Composition OF turntp.
T. Composition Of carrot. 5. Compost

fare. There are also some food mate
rails which. while very nutritious, re-
uuire considerable effort on the part
of the digestive organs to make them
available for the body. So it is clear
that one must know something about
the structure. composition and food
value Of any material before it can be
handled intelligently. Now, what about
vegetables and their preparation for
the table? Practically all green vege-
tables contain large amount OF wa
ter. with smaller percentage OF
starch. very little protein. some
sugar. gum and woody fiber.
The older the vegetable the harder
the woody fiber becomes until the veg
etable which has been left in the
around till late in the season can be
torn apart like coarse threads. 1t is
this fiber which renders vegetables
hard to digest and which necessitates
cooking in order to soften it. iaossss
vegetables contain some mineral mat
, ter and certain volatile essential oils
which give them their characteristic
flavor. II the cooking. is not properly
performed the essential oils may
change in their character and the orig
inal flavor Of the vegetable DO de-
stroyed.
Vegetables are useful in the diet for
three reasons:
First.-The mineral salts are needed
to keep the blood pure and for bone
formation In the young. People who
are denied fresh fruits and vegetables
for any length Of time are likely to de-
velop certain skin diseases.

," HERE are three main reasons
for cooking-viz, a. to develop
favors and make foods more
palatable. (2) to make some
foods more digestible and 81 to kill
germs. AS rule, simple methods for
preparing foods are preferable because
they preserve the original flavor. Veg
etables, which will form the principal
subject Of this article. are better when
cooked simply without the accompani-
ment Of other ingredients.
In cooking any food the first great
essential to success Is to be accurate
in method Accuracy in measuring
and combining ingredients with a
knowledge of the effect of heat on diff
ferent food materials, combined with
interest In the task, can almost always
be relied upon to insure successful
finished product. Indeed it can be
safely stated that there is no such
thing as luck in cooking. Success de-
ponds upon a knowledge Of certain
physical and chemical phenomena
which always occur under certain con-
ditions. It is ignorance Of or lack OF
attention to these underlying principles
which results in so many unsatisfactory
and indigestible dishes being served on
our tables.
Composition Of Vegetables.
There are variety of food mate
rails which cannot be classed as nutri-
tious, and yet they have a distinct
value In the diet. For instance. fresh
fruit and vegetables are not especially
nourishing as far as making blood and
muscle and giving heat and energy are
concerned. but both should be given an
important place in the daily bill OF

RURAL PHONE pEAVESDROPPERS
wallace Farmer.1
There is no good thing which may
not be abused, and we have reason to
believe that the telephone is abused
to such an extent as to sometimes in
terfere with it's usefulness. Every
properly trained person has been
taught from childhood up that he
should not listen to private CONVERSE
ton, should not be an eavesdropper.
There is an old maxim that listeners
seldom hear anything good OF Them
selves. We may pardon the curiosity
of child, for it has come into a world
where everything is new and strange,
and where exact information is neces-
sary to its proper development in life;
but this curiosity should be controlled
and limited to things which are truly
educational. IN other words. the child
should be taught that he must not listen
to a private conversation, and If by
any accident he should hear it, he
should turn away at once and keep his
lips sealed as to what he accidentally
heard
The greatest abuse of the telephone
comes from this eavesdropping or
listening to conversations going on be-
LNeeII HtlSIJolo III WiiANiA 49, e'i'A -
PARTY has no concern. The children in
every home where there is a rural tele-
phone should be taught that under no
circumstances are they to take down
the receiver except to respond to their
own particular call. It is easy to train
children this way but it is sometimes
not easy to train adults. The curiosity
that is pardonable in a child is any
thing but pardonable in the case of
an adult.
The patron of phone has no bust
ness listening to conversation going
on between other patrons to which
he has not been invited to listen. 1t
may be very amusing TO listen 10 sweet
nothings which your neighbor's boy is
saying to another neighbours girl over
the telephone. but after all It is none
of your business, and therefore you
should keep out. It is none OF your
business what price your neighbor is
offered for his hogs or cattle or for his
corn, nor what engagements he is max
| ing with another neighbor for social
visits. This is ali strictly the affair of
the parties talking and not the affair
of any neighbor who has not been in
vited to join in the conversation.
If correct telephone manners were
observed, and every patron of a tele-
phone could be sure that what he said
would not be overheard, or II acct
dentally overheard would not be re-
peated, the telephone would be vastly
more useful than it is at present. The
real gentleman and lady never disturb
private conversations. They Invariably
turn away IL they accidentally hear IT.
and then keep their lips sealed on that
conversation ever Afterwards.
