 Clash Expected
 At these hearings 1t is predicted that Secretary Fisher and Clifford Pinchot will have a violent clash. the outcome of which is expected to have a pronounced effect in shaping the policy of the government, with re- spect to the future disposal of the enormous wealth of mineral lands in Alaska. This Is ioreshadowed by the recent developments in Alaska Mir.

WILL IMPROVE
Farmers & Merchants Telephone Co
to Increase Capital Stock-Put
Long Distance Service
Board Of Directors.

Last Saturday at the annual meet
ing of the stockholders of the Farm
ers & Merchants Telephone Co., the
sytem that is owned and operated
by home people, the people who
spend their money in Monroe City,
directors for the ensuing year were
elected as follows: A. Lee Ely,
James Smith, William Hamilton,
T. A. Wilson, |. L. Owen. DR.. j. H.
Bell. A. C. Meyer. J. A. Yates, John
Kendrick, w. H. Elliott and w. j.
Rouse. The board will meet and
organize in a few days.
The stockholders were encouraged
with the outlook for the Independ-
ent Telephone business, and realize
that Independents are saving the
| country thousands of dollars in the
cost of telephone service and also
giving the people much better serv-
ice. For these and other reasons
the stockholders very enthusiastic
cally voted to increase the capital
stock from six to ten thousand. 1t
was also ordered that u metallic
line be run via Rensselaer, to con-
meet with the Bluff City Telephone
at Hannibal. This will give excel
lent long distance service. Monroe
City owes much to the Farmers &
Merchants Telephone Co. for il
forced free service with all neigh
boring towns and also made our To-
cal service much better
This together with the fact thai
the F. & M. Telephone Co. is owned
by home people make strong rea,
SONS why the Home company should
have the patronage, in the business
houses and homes. of everyone in
terested in building up Monroe City
Stand by home people because peo,
pie here are the ones who make
business for Monroe City. The
profits of a concern that 90 to BOS
ton are taken from our midst for
ever while the profits on a home
lconcern are kept here and all of us
get chance to get part of it.
Therefore it is to the direct inter,
est of every citizen of Monroe City
and vicinity to patronize first of all
telephones the Farmers & Mer
chants, The Home Company.

The death angel came last Friday
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. John
w. White who live north of this
city and carried away their oldest
son, Willie R. The deceased was
born in Marion County 21st Dec.
1890. He leaves to mourn his un-
timely death a father, mother, three
brothers and five sisters and host
of friends.
He was devout member of the
Catholic church and a worker in

was popular with all and numbered
his friends by his acquaintances.
He was a young man of sterling
worth, young man who had the
ability and ambition to make a
man of great usefulness to his fel-
low man. With the idea of making
the most of himself he had been
attending St. Francis College at
Quincy and was getting ready to
enter college this fall when he was
seized with an attack of remittent
fever with which he suffered for
six weeks and until death relieved
him of his suffering.
1t is indeed sad to see a young
man stricken down but God in his
wisdom does all for the best and
moves in a Mysterious way His
wonders to perform.
Funeral services were conducted
by Father Ryan from Holy Rosary
church at 2 o'clock, Sunday after

Mr.. BARNEY OR THE sclETN7Is1s7

The department Of agriculture of the
United States has recently issued a re-
port which takes the ground that
tuberculosis is transmitted thru milk of
tubercular cows; that milk from COWS
responding unfavorably to the tubercu-
lin test is seriously a danger to public
health and that it's sale should be
prohibited and advising state and city
authorities to take strong measures
against the danger from milk thus
tainted.
This brings up the question between
Dairy Commissioner Barney and the
scientists of the United States depart
ment Of agriculture This report comes
from the scientific and exhaustive
labors OF commission appointed by
the American Veterinarian Medical
Association. 1t is issued thru the agri-
cultural department 1t is the con-
clusion Of the best brains and scien-
tifc attainment placed against Mr.
Barney's assertion that milk from
tuberculous cows becomes dangerous
when the cows udder is involved Mr.
Barney would have us believe that un.
til the ravages Of the disease reach
this particular gland the cow is no,
q menace nor her milk a poison
It doesn't make much difference wha'
private opinions or Suesses Mr.. Barne,
may make or hold. Unfortunately hi
official position and authority make {
great difference to the pubic -. se-o-t

harm. He IL not a veterinarian nor .

F. HI. Holman, buttermaker of the Ar
tesian creamery, was in town Friday
and in a conversation with him we
learned that his creamery had received
$4,000 pounds Of milk during the
month Of February, and that the re-
ceipts for February five years ago were
only 200 900 pounds. or gain over that
year of $4,000, and this has been ac-
complished with the addition OF only
seven new patrons during the five
years. On Monday, March 10. the re-
ceipts OF the creamery for two days
were 1882 pounds. Mr. Holman says
this gain in milk has been accomplish
ed by feeding cornstalks in the shape
Of ensilage and fodder but we believe
that Mr.. Romans work of testing the
individual cows of his patrons. and his
advice to the farmers to weed out the
poorer cows and keep only the better
ones and raise the calves from these,
has had considerable TO do with the in
crease. The fellow who offers suRees-
tions and gives advice for the better
ment of the public at large is usually
called a crank and scoffed at by many.
but his advice and suggestions usually
do good in the community in which he
lives, even II his hearers are so obsti-
nate that they refuse to openly follow
his advice.

TEN MINUTES WORK FOR THE LEGISLATURE

The l,oard of health Is warning the
state of the possibility Of an epidemic
Of Aslatic cholera and the probability
of q recurrence Of the infantile paraly-
sis epidemic which scourged the state
in the hot months Of last summer. 1t
is warning to be needed.
Asiatic cholera is quarantinable. If a
sporodic case were to break out In
any Iowa community it would be iso-
lated the instant it were diagnosed. The
Jaw can deal promptly and effectively
with Asiatic cholera-and there Is very
remote danger that 1t will ever be
called upon to combat an epidemic
Of that disease.
But infantile paralysis is a very pres
ent danger. 1t is almost a certainty
that it will again become epidemic in
the state when hot weather develops It.
And it is practically free from legal
quarantine.
Infantile paralysis is infinitely more
dangerous to Iowa than Asiatic chol-
legislature should give health boards
the authority to promptly and COM
pletely isolate cases at their beginning.
There should be no further instances of
the kind which occurred last year
where milk was peddled thru neigh
borhood from house containing two
cases Of infantile paralysis.

GET IN THE GOODS.

1t is we'll enough to advertise Iowa"
Advertising judiciously done brings the
crowd. But the man who comes with
his money in his hand in response to
advertising usually knows what he
wants. 1t is necessary to have the
goods in stock. A proposition to send UP
balloons usually finds many to approve
it, The man with a banjo and the
sleight Of hand tricks always gets a
crowd but it isn't crowd looking for
big deals and steady business.
A $1,000 appropriation for good
roads and $4,000 appropriation for a
publicity bureau would put Iowa into
the banjo class. Iowa doesn't crave
the banjo crowd 1t wants more fac
tories and the men who organize and
conduct them successfully, more dairy
farms, more good farmers of all kinds,
more Of the solid population which
comes with money in it's hands looking
for opportunity and with the capital
to improve opportunity when 1T is
found
The crying need of the state is good
roads. To make and maintain them
is the best advertisement Iowa can buy
and pay for. 1t isn't question Of
hot air in Iowa, but of making good
on reputation as progressive and
leading state. BY all means advertise
Iowa but add the goods to the stock
in hand. Attract the right kind Of
customer and have the goods to show
him when he arrives
