WITCH STICK STARTS ROW.
War at Fort Dodge Over Payment Of
500 For "Discovery'' Of Water Supply,

$50 For discovery" Of Water Supply.
Fort Dodge, Dec. 1S.-Merry war has
been started here over the fee of 500
tie city council has paid August Gros-
enbaugh, an aged resident of this city.
Mr.. Grosenbaugh, by the aid of a
witch stick found place he thought
should be a site for city we'll. The
we'll was drilled down 215 feet and now
GOO gallons of water is pouring forth
each minute. The council rewarded Mr..
Grosenbaugh by commencing his ef-
forts and by paying him a commission
Of $40.
This payment OF $50 for the use OF
the witch stick has raised the ire Of
several men, including DR.. ]. W. Kline,
state lecturer on tuberculosis to the
medical profession: Frank Paige re-
tired scientist, and Capt. George Ring
land, one of the wealthiest men here
They declare the council was foolish
ever to have had the witch stick used
as belief in it's efficacy is a relic OF
the dark ages. DR.. Kline looked thru
the reference books at the Carnegie
library and printed the information he
found concerning the witch stick.
Mayor John +. Ford, Courcilmen F
w. Collins and C. H. Smith merely
laugh. point to the well, and answe,
that they do not care how Mr. Gros-
enbaugh selected the site. but that they
are satisfied with the results.
The faultfnders in turn are having
shafts of ridicule hurled at them BY
others Of the city who declare that the
directors have been the loudest in de
handing pure water and are now find
ing fault with it.
The rest of Fort Dodge is STANDING
by. having a good time listening tc
the discussion. The newspapers con.
tain hot arguments pro and con every

Des tMoines, Dec. 1S.-Iowa apples
are far ahead Of the incipid tho big
and handsome fruit grown in the states
of the far west and along the Pacific
coast. Iowa apples are. in fact, easily
the best in the world. This is the

to buy several boxes Of the prize ap-
pies for shipment to friends in the

Another proof of the superiority Of
the Iowa apple is the success of c. o.
Garrett of Mitchellville. His apples
have been In competition with apples
from every state in the nation at fruit
shows in Council Bluffs. ST. Joseph and
Denver and they have been winners

in two ways. II means that the big

grown to be such that the gentleman
has an advantage.
There was a time when n man who
was a hustler could be cad IL he liked
and 1t did not hurt his chances much.
But that time has passed. The big
business men OF today want young

know how to talk to diplomat and
be ut home In a good club: who could
be trusted to behave kindly. honorably
and discreetly In any situation of life;
who. In short. have as their ideal the
