AN OATS GROWERS CONTEST
Four Thousand Dollars Worth OF
Premiums Are Being Offered.

The largest amount of premiums that
has ever been offered anywhere for an
oat exhibition has just been offered by
the International Harvester Company
of America Four Thousand Dollars in
premiums win be given to the Iowa
farmers having the best samples OF oats
at the Ninth Annual Exposition and
Contest of the Iowa Corn Growers
Association. Every farmer in Iowa is
interested in this. The state will have
the same division with regard to the
different classes, as has been the policy
of the Iowa Corn Growers Association
heretofore. Glasses will be provided so
that every farmer in Iowa, it matters
not what variety Of oats he is growing,
he can enter in competition for these
valuable premiums.
Now is the time for the Iowa farmers
to get ready for this Contest. No doubt
many of our farmers will start special
seed patch not only for the purpose of
oCSotihS oCCu buC AOAONAh6 1Oui AOi lAAC
sowing of their larger fields. but to get
some high-class seed to exhibit at the
time of this coming Exhibition. Here
is an opportunity for the farmers of
this locality to show what they can do
in the way of growing oats. The pre-
miums are liberal, the best ever offered,
and undoubtedly the farmers of Iowa
will join in making this contest a great
success.
For full and complete information
with regard to this contest just call ON
any dealer of the International Harves-
terCompany of America. He issupplied
with pemplets giving a list of the pre-
miums and classes, or address NJ. l..

Growers Association, Waterloo, Iowa.

LAFE YOUNG STILL SENATOR.

As Congress has adjourned some peo-
pie assume that Senator Young's time
has expired. But that is not correct.
If the legislature shall elect senator
then Mr.. Young's time will expire just
as soon as his successor shall have re-
ceived his certificate of election. If the
legislature does not choose a senator,
then Mr.. Young's time will expire on
the day the legislature shall adjourn.
In that case Iowa would have but one
senator.

CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS-
MUST UNITE THE PARTY
By Standing On A Broad, Moderate
And Conciliatory Platform.
Election Called Soon By
Governor Carroll.

The Fontanelle Observer presents the
following reasonable and thoughtful
discussion concerning the selection of
successor to Walter l. Smith. AS an
extra session has been called for April
4, Governor Carroll will probably call
an election in this district on or before
April l.. When the convention meets to
nominate candidate Audubon county
will present the name of a man who is
well KNOWN and highly regarded
throughout the district and who could
be elected by good majority. The
Observer says:
The special election to choose sue
cessor to Congressman Smith win be
rather lonesome affair. There win
be no complications in aggavation or
extenuation. There will not be state
and county candidates to nudge the
voter and suggest that he have care
for fear of hurting the ticket" Il
does not appear that we shall have a
primary to nominate the candidate.
Indications are that he will be chosen
in convention. If so it win devolve up
on that convention to act with discre-
ton and with regard to the wishes of
the whole party. 1t will be suicidal to
take hasty and snap judgement. No
faction could be justified in assuming
that it is in control of affairs in the
district. 1t must be broad, we'll mod
Grated and conciliatory platform. with
a fairly acceptable candidate. There is
no candidate in sight of sufficiently
strong personality to overcome the diff
ficulties. There is none stronger than
the party. He must be chosen for his
ability to cement the factions, rather
than for his ability to vindicate either
faction. The congressional contest will
be removed from all other considera-
tions and unless there shall be an effort
made in good faith to re-establish har-
monious relations on recognized republic
can principle it will be useless to APP
peal to the rank and file for rescue at
the polls. The woods are full of repub-
licans who are tired of hearing the cry
Of wolf when there is no wolf. They
are tired of unseemly and unnecessary
contests, and of seeing the best men
sacrificed for petty reasons, or no reas-
ON at all. The new candidate, whoever
he may be, must bear the brunt of
party Generalization, and can only sue
cessfully appeal for support by the ex-
preston of his desire and purpose and
ability to unite the party upon recog-
nized principles. 1t will be said in APP
peal for votes for democratic candi-
date that the next congress is demo-
cratic already by large majority and
that one member will not seriously
effect results. But republicans worthy
of the name will not consent to have
the district so misrepresented, and will
make the fight for their principles a
winning one in this special election,
provided they are given the encourage
ment which the convention is charged
with the responsibility of affording. II
the president calls an extra session Of
congress to follow soon the session that
expires by limitation this week, the
special election may be burning issue
in this district in few days, as the
governor may call it on ten days notice.

THE LIBRARY QUESTION
SUBMITTED TO VOTERS
A Special Election Has Been Called
By The City Council For Mon
day, April Third.

At meeting of the city council held
last Monday evening petition signed
by sufficient number of voters was
presented to that body asking it to sub
NIT the question as to whether or not
free public library shall be established
the matter and believing that in mat
ter of that kind the people should have
the opportunity to give expression of
sentiment, voted to call the election for
Monday, April 3, as requested, See
official notice elsewhere in this issue.
In this connection we shall make ref
erence to the meeting held at the Court
House on Friday night of last week
which was addressed by Miss Alice S.
Tyler of Des Moines who for ten years
has been secretary of the Iowa Library
Commission. A part of her work is to
answer calls for addresses ON the ques-
ton of establishing and maintaining
free public libraries.
Miss Tyler called the free public lib
rary the house of the open door to every
body. It is democratic institution
where all classes of people may enter
and be welcome SO long they obey the
rules necessary for its proper manage
ment. She made plea for the children
of bookless homes of which there are
far too many. Comparatively few peo-
pie are financially able to buy all the
books needed by the family and it be-
comes expensive; but when the whole
community unites in the purchase the
amount is small.
There are now 106 free public libraries
in the state. Audubon county is one of
a few counties not having any. The
opportunity now presents itself to
secure one. The law authorizing tax has
been on the books for good many
years and some towns avail themselves
of it without getting Carnegie build
ing. But there are now 72 of these
buildings in Iowa. The women of Au-
dubon have worked for IS years and
besides gathering several hundred vol.
umes of books they have accumulated
property worth four or FIVE thousand
dollars. They have been cramped in
their work from lack of funds and now
feel that the town should take charge
of it, give it public support and free to
everybody. Such action win secure
fine building without cost and would
give permanence. stability and dignity
to the library.
Following Miss Tyler. E. s. Van
Gorder, chairman of the meeting called
on others to speak and brief addresses
were made by Messrs. Farquhar, Spen-
Ger, Mantz and Nash and the Misses
Stearns and Davis. Many of those pre-
sent signed the petition to the council
asking for submitting the question to
the voters April 3, 1911.

The Hog AS A Money Maker.

When you get to talking about what
can be done in this county with hogs
it is hard to find good place to STOP
We just heard of showing that
sounds pretty good, and it's true too.
On March 20, 1910, man we know
moved on 40 acre farm. He took
with him eight brood sows and eight
winter pigs. He butchered two worth
$40, gave one away, which was worth
$40, and sold since that time 1920
worth of hogs, and has left eight brood
sows, IA fall pigs weighing about 1875
pounds each and six winter pigs. 1t
would seem from the above that his
capital has increased over what he had
IL months ago, and besides he has rea-
lized almost $1,000 in cash. There were
other sources of income too off the same
40, but this item is simply to demon
strate the hog proposition. Logan OBJ

Paying Carnegie Ten Per Cent.

1t is said that after the library meet
ing at the Court house on Friday even
ing some one went out and reported
that the proposition was to vote tax
of two mills to pay Mr.. Carnegie ten
per cent interest on the money he would
furnish for a new library building. If
this rumor be true it was probably
done by some wag to amuse himself
rather than to deceive any one else.
The library tax would be used to pur-
chase books and to pay current expenses
such as insurance, taxes, heating, light
ing and the salary of the librarian.

chas. BagIey's New Residence.

One of the fine improvements for Au-
dubon this spring will be the new resi-
dence of Chas Bagley in the east end OF
town. His present residence will be
moved TO the south side Of the grounds
and occupied until they are settled in
the new building. An examination Of
/ the plans shows large two story build
ing with hall, living room, bedroom,
diningroom and kitchen. below. and
three chambers and bath room above.
1t win be heated with hot water and
the plumbing will be of the most modern
kind. Mr.. and Mrs. Bagley are wise in
building while they are yet young
enough to enjoy the house for many
&years.

JUDGE GREEN A CANDIDATE.

Since the article published elsewhere
in this paper concerning Judge Green's
probable candidacy for Congress was
put in type. the Judge has authorized
us to make formal announcement that
he win stand as candidate for nomi-
nation and election to that Office. He
has. deferred the matter until he had
time to consult with many republicans
in all parts of the district and learn so
far as he could the manner in which
the mention of his name had been re-
ceived. And also to see if other gen.
tlemen whose names had been suggested
with favor. should conclude toenter the
race and perhaps make fight for the
nomination that might develop strife
and initiate against the election of the
nominee whoever he might be. The
responses to his inquiries have been SO
generous and favorable to his candidacy,
and the proffers of support from other
possible candidates so freely given that
the Judge now feels justified in autho-
rizing the Republican to make his for
NAL announcement, which is done with
great pleasure.
1t is needless for us to speak of his
character and ability which are so well
known in this part of the state. Besides
these he possesses strong elements of
availability. In the first place his
work has been on the bench which has
not made it necessary for him to engage
in factional contests. In the second
place his work has given him oppor-
tunity to form large acquaintance in
every county where he has held court.
Judge Green's moderation in politics,
his success as jurist, his high standing
as citizen. his large acquaintance and
popularity would all add to his strength
as a candidate for political honors.
We commend Judge Green's candidacy
to the Republicans of the Ninth district
believing that no other man could so
easily and successfully win at the polls
by good majority.

DEEMER SHOULD BE ELECTED.

The Times Republican of Marshall
town one of the besta and strongest pro-
gressive papers in the state, presents the
following concerning the election of q
senator,
The Times Republican expressed a
first choice for A. B. Funk because he
had to his credit long and very meri-
torious legislative experience while
Kenyon had none; because he had been
a leader in the Forward Movement in
the Republican Parry while Kenyon
at times had opposed it; and because
he was entitled to the united support
of progressives while Kenyon had not
yet won title to that support having
spent practically all of his life in the
service of a great railway corporation
But deadlock ensued. Funk finally
gave way in the interest of party har-
mony. His supporters voted for Ken
yon but it was impossible for Kenyon
to win. Then LATE Young gave way
that his followers might unite with
some of the Funk men in sincere eff
fort to unite the party upon Judge
Deemer as a compromise candidate. At
this point the Kenyon men should have
made it unanimous for Deemer since
he has served conspicuously as chief
justice of the state and is in every
way worthy man without either hav-
ing been factionalist or having spent
his life amid corporation environment.
Unless we really desire to send Porter
to the senate at the next session it is
time for the republican party to at least
make an attempt to get together on a
senator

Highest Price For Farm.

A dispatch to the Nonpariel from
Union says that what is believed to be
the highest price ever paid in central
Iowa for farm of its size was given
March first by William Warrington
when he paid E. w. Lundy $1,000 for
an eighty-acre tract. The price is at
the rate of Ss75 an acre. The improve
ments on the farm are only fair.
