A man rushed into Windsor's barber
shop Tuesday and yanking off his hat,
collar and tie plunked himself into
Dicks chair and says-"Get a hustle
on, Pm in hurry and | want shave
and a first-class hair cut While Dick
was cutting his hair the man said -
"Say Dick if Roy Moore carries the
mail what does Tom Cary" Dick
jumped back and looked at the man.
"Oh! well" says the man "that's all
right, but if it takes 100 pounds to
weigh you what would Weymouth

Yale nearly reached the goal several

Farmer Kills Neiohhor.

Following a series of alterations
lasting more than a year, Charles X.
Reich, farmer, was shot at his home
in Cumru township, near Reading, Pa,
by his neighbor, Lazarus Shonour.
The wounded man was taken to
hospital in Reading, where he died
shortly after being admitted.
Shonour was placed in custody, but
was reticent as to the shooting. Both
are middle-aged men with families.
Reich, the dead man, is the father
of nine children. ShonOur, when placed
in jail, said that he was glad that he
had killed him; that he did not regret
his crime.
The men met in the public road,
when Shonour fired into Reich's abdo-
men. and the latter begged Shonour
to desist for the sake of his wife and
children, but he finished him by shoot
ing him in the back.
Immediately after the shooting Dis
trict Attorney Schaeffer sent County
Detective Merkel and a squad Of Off
GERS to the scene and they apprehend-
ed the accused slayer. He calmly ex-
planned how he killed his neighbor.
Bad blood had existed between the
two farmers for several years. Numer-
Gus threats we're made by Shonour
and lawsuits were instituted on sew
eral occasions. The elimination was
the murder.

PACT BEATEN IN
GREAT LANDSLIDE
The Vote in Canada Was a
Great Surprise.
BORDEN TO Be new PREMIER

The Liberals, Who Held Power For
Fifteen Years, Are Stunned by the
Vote.
The Dominion of Canada is now
confronted by a new and startling sit
uation, developed from the fact that
the reciprocity agreement with the
United States has been rejected; that
the Laurier government had been over
thrown, and that Robert L. Borden
would shortly be called upon to form a
Conservative ministry.
That the chances enacted in the
parliamentary elections are radical is
shown by the overwhelming majority
whereby the voters rejected the agree
ment which Laurier had made with the
United States for the mutual removal
of duties on food and other natural
products, by the defeat of seven cabi-
net ministers out of the thirteen who
went to the polls, and by the political
landslide which will retire to private
life Sir Wilfrid Laurier, acknowledged
to be one of the biggest figures in the
British empire.
Out of line Canadian provinces,
only Quebec, LaurieT's native place,
came anywhere near remaining faith
full to him, and Quebec did not do any
too well. Ontario, the greatest of the
provinces, dealt Laurier a terrible
blow, going almost solidly against
him, and the same may be said also
of Manitoba and British Columbia
Saskatchewan and Alberta, two great
wheat raising provinces, gave a mild
support to the cause of reciprocity.
Latest returns show 161 COnserva
tives, l Nationalist and "a Liberals
chosen, with five CONSTITUENCIES un
heard from. Borden, therefore, comes
into power with a majority of As, that
probably will be increased to so.
The magnitude of the landslide ap
pears to have stunned the Liberals
who HAYES held office for fifteen years
and who firmly beliesed that. they wer'
destined to remain in power for nnn!
years to come.
On both ides sympathy is express
ed for Sir Wilfrid Laurier. His clea
and gallant fight in behalf of recipro
ity is recognized as one of the mos
notable campaigns ever undertake
in Canada. That his efforts were NJ
crowned with success is still a matte
of inexplicable amazement to many.
AS for the reciprocity agreement,
is not likely to be heard again 500
ANY measure of this kind mUst be i
troduced from the government sid
and it is not likely that Mr.. Borde
and his followers will make any sue
move.

THE VALUE OF GOOD ROADS.

1t has been we'll said that finely
built, well graded roads not only en-
nance the value of every acre Of land
contiguous to them but they are a
continuous saver in time consumed In
hauling, saver in the power neces-
sary to haul A farmer who has a
good hard road from his farm to his
market can in one load and with the
same team handle twice as much as
he can over bad road, and can do it
in one-half the time. With the hard
road he can put in his time in bad
weather hauling, when he can do
nothing else on his farm. He saves
the wear and tear on his wagon. he
saves wear on his teams.
And he undoubtedly makes country
life pleasanter for his wife and fam
lily; and after all, is not that the chief
aim of every good man, to try to
make the environments of his wife
and children the best in every respect
possible?

birth rate among the blacks than
among the whites, the death rate is
also much higher. Then, too, the in
crease from immigration is all on the
side of the whites. The negroes have
no foreign country to draw on to In
crease their numbers. Relatively to
the other element of the people, the
blacks must continue to decrease. al
though their actual numbers will keep
on growing.
The south's hysteria on account Of
the presence OF SO many persons in
Its states is needless. The proportion
of the negroes is steadily declining.
The lament will eventually take a
new tack. There will not be enough
negroes to do the work which they
have been doing hitherto. Already
there is a complaint In some quarters
in the south that there are not enough
laborers to meet the demand. White
immigrants do not go to the south in
anything like the number they do to
the rest OF the country, and conse-
quently the greater part OF the hard
manual labor must be performed by
the blacks. Some Of the southern pa
pers are predicting that a time may
come In their region when Chinese
will have to be imported to do work
which the negroes had performed
since the beginning of things.

Plant Trees.

Charter Oak Times: Ten million
catalpa trees were planted in Kansas
this summer. Therein Is where Kan
sas Is wiser than Iowa. Iowa is cut
ting her trees, and one of these days
we are going to be up against dry
seasons every year just like the one
this year, only worse. One e the
best things Iowa can do is to Dsevide
for the planting OF tree areae. They
induce rain, and rain is something
necessary to Iowa This lesson has
been taught by the history of the
world. Wherever man has stripped a
country of its trees he has also made
1t so arid that 1t is like a desert, while
in some parts OF the world that had
few or no trees, and they have been
planted, the countries have become
fertile and rich. This is partially the
case with the middle vest It would
be far wiser thing for Iowa to COM
pei every man owning land to plant
trees on it. 1t would be no hardship
II every man was compelled to main
tain small grove of few acres to
each quarter section, and the effect
on the country would be immense.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK is GOOD.

Mr.. Geo. NJ. Reynolds, president of
the Continental and Commercial Ma
tional bank of Chicago, has been con-
Quoting an investigation into business
and crop conditions And the conclu-
sion he has reached is, on the whole,
quite satisfactory.
Mr.. Reynolds finds crop conditions
are better than the ten-year average.
He has secured enough expert opin-
ions to justify that conclusion. While
in some states conditions are. not
good, there is. as is usual in the do
main of Uncle Sam, prospect that
makes the outlook decidedly cheer
full.
In the general business world there
is a noticeable Improvement. The fear
OF depression is passing; some indus
tries are marking time, but many 9th
ers are picking up rapidly. and the
outlook is hopeful.
Mr.. Reynolds is In close touch with
the banking situation He says the
rush into speculation has diminished
and that savings deposits are increas-
ing; banks have the loan situation
well in hand.
Mr.. Reynolds renews his plea for
currency reform, as means Of insur-
ing stability in the business world.
He says that the developments OF the
past twelve months have emphasized
clearly the need OF more scientific
and elastic currency system and a
banking system that will afford a
method Of converting sound assets In
to forms of credit which viii pass cur
rent and give to our circulating med
ium a sufficient elasticity, to meet the
needs at times, when natural develop
ments. such as crop requirements,
press hard, without disturbing the
general business situation.
Business men all through the east
as In the west concede the urgent
need of currency reform and many of
them, while not satisfied with the Ma
tiona1 Reserve plan, pronounce 1t the
best that has been offered. In the
middle west sentiment seems to be
more crystallized and more generally
favorable to this suggested plan.

Iowa Possibilities.

Oskaloosa Herald: There is no
limit to the possibilities of Iowa
soil. John Schrader, Of Keota, several
years ago, rented 20 acres of Mic
Bohr to put in barley the two to share
the proceeds. It was very wet year !;
it rained continuously; the water
stood in pools all over the fields and
no barley In evidence Finally Bohr
wanted to sell out to Shrader for SIS.
Shrader didn't want It Mic offered
to sell for $40 and John didn't want
1t, ard didn't want 1t at SIS. Then
Bohr turned 1t over to Shrader for
nothing. Then Shrader concluded he
would tile the field and got five men
to work at 1t. They went over the field
in the mud regardless Of any barley,
tiled 1t out good and that fall they
threshed nearly nearly 80 bushels Of
barley from the 20 acres and sold 1t at
IS cents bushel Bohr and Shrader
made nearly hundred dollars each
out OF deal that neither considered
worth anything. Since then the crops
on this same field have been large
every year.

White Population Increasing

st. Louis Globe-Democrat: AS the
country had right to expect. the
white population in the south is grow
ing faster than the negro element.
The census returns from nine OF the
cotton states show this plainly. In the
cities of those states the whites in
creased 1914 per cent during the dec
ade. as compared with ZIG in the pre-
vious ten years. while the negroes
gained 30.5 per sent, as against 1872
per cent In the ten years Immediately
preceding. Each race, as will be MOTTO
ed, grew faster In the past ten years
than 1t did in the preceding ten. but
the gain was much greater among the
whites than among the blacks. In the
rural districts In those states the
white gain in population In the decade
just ended was 17.3 per cent and the
negro only S.3 per cent, while in the
preceding ten years the gain in the
two races was Is and It's per cent,
respectively.
In the country. as whole, the cities
IN the south are growing faster than
the farming regions. 1t may be Said,

two races in the south is pretty we'll

MAY RECALL ROE.

Application of the recall feature OF
the Des Moines plan to Commissioner
Zell Roe because OF his alleged fail
ure properly to handle the mobs OF
strike sympathizers last Saturday is
being advocated by prominent citizens
Of Des Moines. 1t is charged that
Commissioner Roe was Playing pol
itics" throughout the whole affair A
paragraph in the news columns of the
Capital is to the following effect:
The belief seems general that the
police made no serious attempt at any
time to put a, end to the disSraceful
proceedings which marked the pro-
gress OF the rioters. It is pointed out
that the laws OF Iowa give the police
ample opportunity and power to
swear In deputies and assistants when
they find themselves unable to cope
with situation. However, not the
slightest attempt was made at any
time to add to the force of officers
which seemed afraid to hurt the feel
ing of the mob.
THAT the mob was for the most
part composed of boys who could have
been scattered with ease had the po-
lice not been too timid to use their
clubs seems to be generally believed.
Business men regard the failure of
the police to protect property as a
damaging blow to the city. They fig,
ure that it win not be possible to get
factories located here when go little
attention is paid to protecting their
property"
special meeting of the Greater
Des Moines committee will be held
tomorrow to decide what action shall
be taken In regard to the recall of
Commissioner Roe. At this distance
1t looks as If he were entirely too
small for the position he holds and
had done great injury to the COM
munfty.
