for a continuance was argued.
The E. P. Johnson damage suit
was settled, each party to pay his
own costs. The Carolan-Qualley

in the term, after six or seven jury
cases are disposed of. 1t is quite
probable that the term will last
two weeks or longer.

mates as a pitcher and a first base

that Storaasli displayed all the ear

SALOONS IN SUPREME COURT.
Appeal Will be Taken up June 9th,
and Saloons Will Keep
Open Until it is
Decided.

A few days ago Attorney E. w.
Cutting, representing the saloon
forces in the mulct petition matter,
which is now before the supreme
court, went to Des Moines and
secured an order from one of the
supreme court judges, Emlin Nc
Lain, naming May 18th as the date
in which the briefs must be on file
before the court, and June 9Th as
the date upon which the matter
will be taken up by the court. Also,
in case the matter is not decided by
the supreme court prior to July 1st,
when the old petitions expire, that
the decision Of Judge Hobson in the
district court against the petition
will be held in allegiance and the sa-
looms now running be permitted to
keep open until ten days after the
supreme court hands down it's de-
cision, so as to give them ample
time to arrange their business mat
tiers in case of an adverse decision.
BY some it is claimed that if the
petition is declared sufficient by the
supreme court, then all the saloons
in the county will be permitted to
continue; by others, that only one
for each thousand of population
flour in Decorah). This is a mat
ter to be determined. On the other
hand, If the supreme court sus-
tains Judge Hobson, which is very
probable, then all the saloons in
the county must close within ten
days after the decision is handed
down, unless previous to that time
new petition should be circulated
and declared sufficient by the board
of supervisors.

NEGLECTED CHRISTIANITY.

Tripoli Leader: More and more
we are convinced that what this
country most needs is a religion or
training that will make a man pay
his debts. Shouting does not settle
an account with God or man. Often
We want to bounce a fellow right
out of church because he went fish
ing on Sunday, but never say word
10 scamp who never pays his debts,
and such people are doing the
church more harm than any lot of
Sunday decorators, for There are
more of them in the church. Read
er, are we getting close to you?
Then lay down this paper and go
and pay up and you can read at
ease. And don't you stop paying
because the statute of limitation"
excuses the open account which you
made for bread and meat. You must
pay it in cash or God will make you
pay it in fire and birthstone. God
knows no such excuse for paying as
homestead exemption" When you
raise that excuse to keep from pay
ing your debts you can stop singing,
When l can read my title clear to
mansions in the skies" You've got
none up there.

Then, there is that other silo
enthusiast, Mr.. A. l.. French;
he feeds silage to cattle and
horses and hogs and sheep, and
openly declares that no man
can get the full value out OF his
corn crop if he doesn't put part
of it, at least, into a Sllo.
i We believe, too, that there
should be fifty silos in the South

is why we feel impelled to call
special attention to the matter

him to build a silo this year. He

better, but right now he must

Why Not Build q SitO This Year?

1T Asst year we published de-
/ IL tailed reports Of the cost
" Of number Of silos built in the
South, which showed that the
average cost per ton capacity Of
staye silos was $3.50 and of
concrete silos $2.17. : In some
cases stave silos have been
built for as little as $1.O0 per
ton capacity and concrete silos
for as little as $1.75. These
figures should dispel the idea
held by many people that a silo
is a very expensive affair and
can be afforded only by the big
farmer. In fact, when a silo
enthusiast begins talking-and
the man who has one is gen.
orally an enthusiast-he is likely
to say that the silo should be
regarded as a necessity on every
farm. We have been saying
for long time that every farmer
who has ten dairy COWS or a
proportionate number of other
cattle should have a silo; but
Just a few weeks ago we pub
llShed a little note from Mr.. D,
3 Harris, of Virginia, who gave
as his experience that it pays to
nave a silo for only three cows.
Mr.. Harris has a silo only I feet
IN diameter, so that he can feed
out the silage fast enough to
keep it sweet. sgas .-57f'aa
