IS PASSED.
Canadian Pact Bill Passes Senate
Without Amendment by 53
to 20 Vote.
CANADA YET TO RATIFY ACT.
With One Exception, Paper and
Pulp Section Provisions Do Not
Become Effective Until
President Issues
Proclamation.

Washington, ID. c., July 22.-The
reciprocal trade agreement between
| the United States and Canada en-
bodied in the reciprocity bill that
proved storm center in two sessions
of congress, passed the senate with
out amendment Saturday by a vote
of SO to 27. A majority of republi.
cans voted against it. OF fifty-three
votes for it, thirty-two were demo
Gratis and twenty-one republicans; OF
the twenty-seven against twenty
four were republican and three dem
ocrats.
This action settled the whole Ca
madam reciprocity question so far as
congress is concerned and save fol-
executive approval and the Canadian
parliament's ratification virtually
made the pact the law of the land.
Congressional practice will delay
the affiixing of the presidents sigma
ture until today, when the house is
again in session. The reciprocity
bill, having originated in the house
must be returned there for engross-
ment and for the signature of Speak
er Clark while the house is sitting
The Canadian parliament has not
yet acted on the agreement and with
one exception the provisions of the
bill as passed by congress will not
become effective until the president
issues a proclamation that Canada
has ratified the pact. The exception
to this procedure is in the paper and
pulp section of the bill, which it is
announced will become Immediately
effective when the president signs
the bill.
From the White House President
Taft followed the votes on the
amendments and on the final passage
of the bill with the keenest interest.
Il am very much gratified and de-
lighted that the bill is passed. he
said. 1T indicates the increase of
mutually beneficial relations between
Canada and this country
Senator Penrose ventured the pre-
diction that congress would adjourn
not later than Aug. or 10.
A bitter struggle is expected in
the senate over the wool tariff. The
wool revision bill already has passed
the democratic house. Several sub
stitutes have been offered in the sem
ate and a vote will be taken Thurs
day.

CIRCUS next MONTH
FOrepaugh Bros. and Sells Immense
Three Ring Circus to Show
in DecOrah.
THURSDAY, AUGUST Path, DATE.
Advance Man Was Here Yesterday
Making all Necessary
Arrangements.

1t will be good news to the people
OF Decorah and vicinity to know that
next month we will be visited by
one of the largest circuses travelling
in the United States. Forepaugh
Bros. & Sells. Mr. Morgan, the ad-
vance man was in Decorah yester-
day to make all the necessary ar
rangements for the visit of this i'm
mense three ring circus, which re-
quires 81 huge cars to transport it.
They will show on the hitching
ground, which is the only available
piece of land left for a circus in easy
access to the city; there is a good
deal of land there when it is all
utilized and Mr.. Morgan figured they
could find room enough. This show
is owned by Ringing Bros, the cir
Gus kings and our people can rest
assured that they will have the pleas
ure of witnessing a grand affair.
If good weather prevails, which
We all sincerely hope will, the crowd
that will visit Decorah that day will
in our opinion rival the old P. T.
Barnum days of years ago.
The advertising car will arrive in
Decorah next week Thursday. The
circus will come in over the Rock
Island. The contract for the trans
portation of the circus has been sign
ed, so there will be no question about
the circus getting in here
All ready arrangements are being
made to run excursions into Decorah
that day. Agent Ambli of the Mil
waukee received a letter today in
forming him about the excursions.

The extent to which the principle
of home trade and home interests is
being advocated nowadays is one of
the more pronounced tendencies of
the times. 1t begins with the state
at large all along through the line OF
loyalty to home state. home district,
home county, home town. iowa in
terests are being promoted as never
before, and the state is looking up as
consequence. A short time since
people moving out of the state and
buying out of the state attracted no
more than passing attention. Now
the rallying cry is, build up Iowa
population and stand by Iowa insti-
tutions. Down at Cedar Rapids the
other day they raised Dickens of a
fuss over going out of town to secure
an architect for a public building.
It's a good sign, the right system.

FIRST STEPS FOR PURE DRUGS.
Examinations Being Made of Samples
Bought at Stores i'm the Open
Market.

The state pharmacy commission
has submitted to Prof. Chittick of
the state pure food laboratory, SAM
Piles of medicines secured from drug
gists in the open trade for analysis.
These consisted of such things as
spirits of camphor, tincture of TO-
dine, witch hazel and the like. This
is the first step taken in the direc-
tion of enforcing the laws of the
state for pure drugs. This law went
into effect about two years ago when
it was made the duty of the phar-
macy commission to enforce its pro-
visions and to prosecute druggists
for violation. 1t is stated that the
shelves of druggists all over the
state are filled with articles that
would not stand the test OF exam
ination and that practically nothing
has ever been done to secure enforce
ment of the pure drug law. NOW a
start is to be made and samples OF
tinctures, extracts and compounded
medicines will be secured by the
commissioners wherever they go,
and these will be analyZed, and II
found to be below grade prosecu-
tions will follow. 1t is the beginning
of a new era in the drug trade OF
the state.

For the Victims of Insomnia.

have been nervous Invalid tot
years. and was long q sufferer from
insomnia. My physician prescribed
the following treatment: On hrsI
retiring it was my custom TO lalI
asleep, but / wakened after tvs oi
three hours, and would then lie
wide awake for the rest OF the night
The doctor told me not to lie still
and coax sleep back, but TO rise al
once, take a little exercise or reao

think too deeply. Then he advised
my eating a cracker or two or III
tie bread and butter and returning
to bed. This proved beneficial. M

Henry KutZ, living in Bonneville,
Indiana, was arrested on the charge
of stealing two pigs. His attorney
asked to have the case dismissed be-
cause the animals had curly tails. He
held that when a pig had arrived al
such condition of maturity as to
have a curl in its tail, 1t was nc
longer a pig, but hog, and, there
fore, the indictment against kut7
was faulty. But the judge, who i
some authority on pigs himself, de-
cided that a pig is pig, whether his
tail curls or not, and Henry vii

GOOD ROADS FUND SHORT.
According to Law, Fees Are Not Re-
mitted Until After AppOrtiOn-
ment is Made-Only Part
Realized.

The Kulp automobile law will
yield but little over $4,000 for
good roads purposes up until March
of next year, this despite the fact
that the law became effective July
and practically every running motor
car in the state will have been regis
tered and the fee paid within few
weeks. The reason is this:
Secretary of State Hayward, who
collects the motor car fees, does not
remit fees collected during any one
month until the fifteenth day of the
following month, this according to
the law Hence all fees collected
during July will not be turned over
to the treasurer of state until Aug.
10th.
The Kulp law requires the treas
urer of state to make the apportion-
ment of the auto fund among the
various counties of the state Aug. 1
of this year. Hence all the fees COL
lected in July will not be available
for the treasurer when he makes the
distribution.
The only money realized from the
new auto law and which he will have
on hand for distribution, is the sum
of $21.266.1S, collected by Secretary
of State Hayward under the new act
during the last two weeks in June.
OF this amount l 5 per cent will be
deducted to cover the expense of the
state in issuing the licenses. The
remaining 50 per cent will be dis
tributed among all the counties of
the state equally, in proportion to
the number of townships each county
has to the whole number of town
ships in the state.
Hence it is obvious that each coun-
ty will secure but trifling amount
of money for good roads purposes
until after the next appOrtionment
in March, 1912.
When the Kulp bill was up for
passage in the legislature last win
ter, its supporters estimated that it
would yield a fund of almost $780,
600 for good roads purposes.

There will soon be stronger de-
mand for positions in the schools in
the country than there is in town.
predicts the Grundy Democrat
Teachers used to prefer the school
positions in town because they paid
better, but in late years in the mat
ter of pay the country schools have
raised the pay on par and In many
cases in advance of what town teach

one side of the pulpit: The next
Sunday after telling me to take his
name from the record, he took a

vices were over took his departure
without saying a word to anyone
The following Sunday he was again

Editors Note-The editor of
this paper has prevailed upon
his father, Rev. H. II. Green,
ID. D., to write an autobiogra-
ply of his life, to be preserved
as a matter of record among
his children aud grandchildren.
While it was written with no
intention of being made public,
yet his life has been filled with
such varied experiences, dating
from his birth in England. boy
hood, soldier, clergyman, legis-
lator, ETC., that we find much
which we believe will be read
with interest by the public, and
we will therefore from time to
time as space permits publish
sections of this autobiography,
should it prove of sufficient in
terest to continue.)
