TUMWANs NEXT WEEK.

Featured by good card Of excit-
ing races on the best half-mile track
in Iowa every day, the Eldon Big
Four fair, which opens September S

lovers of harness events. The fair
officials are paying particular atten'
ton to the track events, and some
merry trots and pacing races, to say
nothing of the gallopers, are already
booked. The train service from OF

ing and early afternoon, and returning
early in the evening. Another attrac.
ton is the Fifty-fourth regiment band
which will play all the days of the
fair. Vaudeville acts, a grand display
of live stock, agricultural and ladies
handiwork and the reunions of old
soldiers and old settlers and railroad
ers will also prove attractive to the
fair visitors.

Crowd Unpatriotic.
When the band again resumed its
station. the Star Spangled Banner was
struck ND and far away on the hill,
the stars and stripes were lowered at
the camp. The crowd did not respond
with due patriotism and stand UNI
covered during this ceremony and 1t
ELECTED remarks of disapproval from
the officers. This morning several of
them stated to the Courier representa-
tive that they were surprised to see
this unpatriotic attitude. They stated
that they expected to see every man
with barred head when the flag was
being lowered but they could not de-
tect one who showed this remark OF
tribute.
The captains of the twelve compan-
les then marched to the center of the
line and wheeled to position in front
OF Colonel Howell. After their salute
they again resumed their places IN
front of their companies and the band
swung around in front. The regiment
then followed, marching once around
the field. It was pretty sight, the
six hundred men, marching in perfect
order around the parade ground. The
band then stepped aside and the COM
panies marched back to camp, COM

TaSdNE4al...

Des Moines, Aug. 3o.-Elmer M.
Reeves Of Waverly, the well known
horticulturist member Of the state
board Of agriculture, is greatly pleas
ed over the fact that Iowa breeders
report substantial progress in the
breeding of new fruits.
The veteran breeder Of fruits at
Charles City, Mr.. Patten now 70 years
old, is here with number of seed
lings that he believes will commend
themselves to the horticulturists. MI.
Patten has been experimenting with
his fruit for forty or fifty years and Is
recognized everywhere as one of the
best OF the experimenters.
Mr.. Reeves states that the fruit
growers of this state are elated over
the fact that while fruit was all kill
ed last year the curculio and other
pests were also starved to death, so
that this year the orchards started
with clean slate If the orchardists
will only keep their trees free from
pests by spraying they will Lave

year.

Construction Of Rock Island Freight
House Being Pushed

The brick masons employed on the
new Rock Island freight house, have
made rapid progress since they began
work over a week ago and the walls
Of the structure have risen as by
magic. The carpenters are keeping
even with the masons and the system
in vogue by the construction forces
make the progress rapid and effective.
The first floor is well under construc.
ton and the joist has been set for the
seed floor or Office portion of the
new structure. The platform at the
rear of the new freight house has
been completed and is heavy dock
that will witstand hard usage.

companies who had taken to tn
woods" and were advancing upOi
them from all sides.
The reserves were stationed In thu
rear of the firing line, with close ranks
awaiting as they would in time o.
war. The appearance of the enemy
in the woods and their advance caused
the cessation Of hostilities as there
was no sham battle to take place
| The men were on the field that they
might be shown the method of meet
ing the enemy not the fighting part.
They were shown how to gain the
point Of vantage and the maneuvers
necessary in bringing on battle.
ia The Afternoon Drill.
The afternoon was repetition OF
the morning but was carried out by
battalions instead of companies. The
mtehod of procedure, advanced
charge, etc.. was practically the same
but was carried out with the bat
talions in different position from the
companies in the morning.
There were but few people in at
tendance this morning. All visitors
seem to think the best part of the pro-
gram is dress parade in the evening
but should they once attend the work
of the morning they would discover
that their conclusion was somewhat
erroneous. Every program Is as inter
esting as the dress parade and Is en-
tirely different. Dress parade is the
same feature every evening, although
it never loses it's attractiveness. The
maneuvers and drills are changed
every morning and afternoon. Visit
ors cannot better see the camp than
by bringing their lunches and staying
the entire day.
Guard mount fell to Company K. of
Grinnel this morning at 7:45 o'clock.
Captain John W. Cogswell is officer OF
the day. In former camps OF has been
customary to select detail from each
company for guard duty but new de
parture in the branch of camp life has
been introduced this year whereby
each company is on guard once every
day.
/ Parade Last Evening.
The first parade of the camp was
made last evening about O'CLOCK
Because of the dust and dirt parade
was made in khaki uniforms instead
of tho blue and therefore it can hardl!
be called dress affair. Colonel How
! ell has given orders to parade II
4 khaki until further notice.

 T.-J. LAW WILL NE| FER BE A LAW

Little Rock, Ark, Oct. 19.-Discus- sing the decision in the Turner-Ja- cobson bill, Attorney General Nor wood and lhis assistant, w. H. Rector, expressed themselves as much pleas ed with the outcome of their motion, and that the Supreme Court would sustain the chancellor on appeal.
 "The effect of the decision," said Gen. Norwood, "is to give the people the right to vote on the measure, un- less the Supreme Court should re- verse it. The bill, as it stands, will never become law unless majority of the people vote for it in September, 1912 If the decision had been adverse to our contentious, the effect would have been to declare the bill law now and that it was not subject to submission. The court sustained our position, however, on every point at issue, chief among which were that the Initiative and Referendum amend ment is self-executing, that the con- mission of the emergency clause showed the intention of the Legisla- ture to have been to allow the peo- pie to vote On the bill, and that it was proper for the court to consult the journal in arriving at a decision az to the intent of the legislators"

Senator's Address is o Plea for Wider
Distribution Of Agricultural
Education.

AAfEs. Jan s-tspecialJ Senator cum
minis spoke 10 an audience Of about 80
short course students here last night. lie
touched ON politics only enough TO cmpha-
size the need .of governmental regulation
OF great corporations. devoung the greater
part of his speech TO plea for the wider
distribution Of agricultural education lie
advocated an appropriation OF 100000 FOR
extension work In Iowa lie spoke Of the
need Of good roads as a means OF improv-
ing rural life but he did not advance any
particular plan for securing them
There are three questions" the senator
said upon which depend the safety. wei
fare and perpetuity Of free institutions.
These are first. How can we increase the
quantity and improve the quality Of agri-
cultural products. lessenlng the cost to the
consumer without reducing the profits OF
the producer? Second. how can we inter
rIpt the tendency OF the people to gather
In great cities? Third how can we reg
ulate ana control great wealth so that
with its power and selnshness ii shall not
take more than its just share Of the profits
OF toll?
ITO keep farmers from moving to town
to educate their children" he said, "coun-
ny thuNhhOlhi AdNlliNth must We hAhhe
equal TO those OF the city. To accomplish
this consolidation Is necessary Boys and
girls should be educated with especial ref
erence to the work that they will have to
do The common schools Of Iowa should
be miniatures Of Iowa State college. The
influence Of this college is greatly multi
piled by the extension work The legis-
lature should appropriate at least $lOOOOO
for this work. No other appropriation
would give such returns.
1T Is common nowadays to sneer at
politics. Politics is only the associated eff
forts Of the people. In no other way can
needed reforms be obtained. The greatest
duty of the citizen Is to see to It that
public affairs are so conducted as to do
for the individual those things that he can
not do for himself The aggregate wealth
OF the American people is about 500 900. OOO.-
900. This has become concentrated in the
! hands of the few. II the hand of the
people as whole is not laid upon these
aggregations of wealth we will eventually
be forced to take just what they are will
ing we should have. Regulation is not ad-
vancing one-tenth as fast as combination
believe that the only way regulation
can be accomplished is by preserving fair
competition. The work of regulating COM
petition can be done by no agency, but the
government itself
