TO LOCATE UNKNOWN MAN.
Davenport Police Trying to Find the
Friend Of the Late Claus
Man$Ar

Davenport. March 2.-Detectives are
vainly trying to locate the unknown
Claus Menter on the evening he was
shot by his stepson, Rud Branden-
burg. and who disappeared shortly
after the shooting. His evidence IS
wanted to substantiate or disprove
Brandenburg's contention that his
stepfather was the aggressor in the
quarrel which preceded the killing.
Brandenburg will have hearing Fri
day and the charge against him will
probably be manslaughter. He may be
allowed to give bail.

: IOWA AND APPLES.

Charles g. Patten of Charles Guy
q fruit grower of forty-six years ex.
perience, is quoted in the Des MONIES
Register and Leader as saying thai
Iowa lis better adopted to the growing
of apples than any Of the mountain or
western coast districts so widely 40.
vertised as apple growing countries.
He adds that Iowa "has the SOIL, the
moist winds and the climate for sue
cessful orcharding." Commenting on
Mr.. Patterns statement the Des
Moines paper says:
What Mr.. Patten says is not merely
theory but fact. There is ocular evil
dence' of the fact in the splendid ma
tional trophy a great silver cup,
which was won easily by Iowa apple
growers against the apple growers OF
the whole United States. for the best
showing at the great national nortl-
cultural congress and exposition at
Council Bluffs two years ago.
There Is further evidence oFthe fact
in, the experience OF individual apple
growers. Wherever men have planted
orchards carefully ard have then cultl-
waited them intelligently and industri-
ously, they have succeeded in apple
growing. In southwestern Iowa may
be found hundreds of successful or
chards, yielding as fine a return to
their owners as any western orchard
ever yielded. Just to name one OF
them, the Mincer orchard OF forty
acres near Hamburg in Fremont
county Is making q splendid income
every year for its owners. Even last
year, which was disastrous to the
apple crop everywhere in the midwest
and east this orchard produced 5000
to 1000 bushels of fine apples because
It's owner had the courage and intelli-
gence to apply new methods for fight
ing frost.
why do Iowans 90 away from home
to establish orchards?
Because Iowans are VIGOROUSLY
blind to the advantages OF their own
Immediate surroundings. They think
they see wonderful fertility in the
deserts out west and overlook the
timetried fertility of the wonderful
soil OF Iowa. They prefer Turing
promises TO known realities.
The Register and Leader adds that
It is high time for Iowa to awake to
its apple growing opportunities. It
is high time for the state horticultural
society or some other organization to
ret busy and make 1t known to 1owans
what Iowa can do in apple growing.
iowa cannot stand forever the drain
of men and money that has been going
on for ten years past and keep its
high place In the ranking OF states.

taken on the resolution providing for
the direct election of senators was
given in full, together with the vote of

The morning papers today also pub
lish yesterdays markets. The Courier
published the complete market report
yesterday. fresh from the wires and as
fully as the morning papers gave it q
half day later.
The Courier is gratified that it is in
a position to give its readers the best
news service that money can buy. 1t
is gratified, too, that so many of its
readers have expressed appreciation
of the enlarged news service.
Plans are now being made for fur
Their equipment in the mechanical de-
partment that will enable the Courier
to expand it's service. Other new fea-
lures will be added from time to time
with view to giving Courier readers a
better service than 1t is possible for any
other paper, outside this field, to give
them EN-N- "a .-[ !
