officers of the provisional organiza-
tion formed at the meeting of rep
resentatives of many towns at Mason
City June 18th. The intention is to
have a mass convention at some GEN.
.ral point later in the year to effect
permanent organization on a still
more representative basis. 1t is the
belief of those who have travelled
all of the roads that the North Iowa
Pike has easier grades and can be
put in as good or better condition
than the Waubonsie trail. the Blue
Grass road, the River to River road,
the Transcontinental route or the
Hawkeye Highway, the organized
east and west roads across the state
now competing with one another for
tourist travel and road betterment,
and getting much travel that ought
to be routed by way of the North
Iowa Pike. 1t is regarded as cer-
tain that the time is not far distant
when there will be a permanent road
from Milwaukee to the far northwest
via Sioux Falls and that, on account
of the present effort to improve and
advertise the route across Iowa. 1t
will be known all of the way from
Lake Michigan to Puget Sound as
the North Iowa Pike.
Officials of the association in COM
pany with Malcolm MacKinnon OF
Des Moines, editor of the Huebinger
publications, will tour the Pike in
the powerful Colby 40 that is in use
as the press car. He has already
toured in similar manner the Blue
Grass roads, the River to River road
and the Transconinental route.
The party in six cars, starting
down the Pike from Sioux Falls,

eight o'clock, will observe the fol-

feet control sailing over The
Front" an immense park where
thousands had gathered to witness
the maneuvers of the NJ. w. A. For
esters, and then across Niagara river
but few miles above the falls, and
! back to Fort Erie park he flew about
the park once or twice and then gent
! ly and safely came to the ground.
1t was magnificent, inspiring sight,
the conquest of the air, demonstra-
tion of what has already been ac-
complished and an insight into what
the future promises in the navigation
of the air. Three or four other flights
were made, not so spectacular, and
there were numerous motorcycle
races, including a race between an
airship and motorcycle, in which
the airship, going sixty miles an
hour, ran away from the motorcycle.
The airship, the automobile and the
motorcycle have certainly put Old
Dobbin in the background. Then we
saw also races on the water, between
some of the fastest water craft in
the world, launches with the speed
of the railroad train, sight almost
as thrilling as the airship demon
strations.
The monster parade on Thursday,
participated in by uniformed fores-
ter teams from all parts of the coun-
try, was witnessed by nearly half
million people. The varied colors of
uniforms, the flashing of the axes in
the sun, the fancy drills executed by
the teams, and the perfect order of
the whole impressed us with the
thought that we need have no fear OF
the future of this country, and that
there is no necessity of a larger
standing army, when scattered
throughout the country there are so
many bodies of this character, or
ganized and drilled along military
lines, of the finest men the world
produces.
But We are making this article too
long. The entire week was filled
with diversions and amusements for
the entertainment of the crowds dur
ing the time the Head Camp was not
in session. Every Woodman in at
tendance had a most enjoyable time,
and the Buffalo Head Camp was
unanimously voted the greatest and
best fraternal meeting in the history
of the country.

A Campaign For Iowa.

The booster organizations through
out the state are making a vigorous
campaign for the purchase by Iowa
people of goods made in Iowa. The
prosperity of the state demands an
increase in population, and as factor
les will increase population faster
than any other method, Iowa people
should increase the number of fac
tories by buying Iowa made goods.
An "All Iowa Week" is to be advo-
Gated for the week of October 18th,
when merchants will display Iowa
products and people will be urged to
buy Iowa goods. 1t is an excellent
idea and should receive liberal sup
port throughout the state.

CHAPTER XVIII.
Soon after my return to Lyons ]
purchased an interest in a grocery
store, which was owned and operat-
ed by Mr.. G.. w. Hammond. The
building was a wooden structure To-
Gated on the northwest corner of
Main and Sixth streets. Mr.. Ham
mond was an honorable business
man, who enjoyed the confidence of
the entire community and our rela-
tions were always pleasant and sat-
isfaetory.
We did good business, all things
considered, and / have ever regard
ed with qualification that business
venture. 1t was time when high
prices ruled in all American mar
kets on certain classes of goods.
Some things were affected by the
war much more than others, but al
most everything felt the influence of
the times, unless it was farm pro-
ducts, such as butter and eggs,
%hich were not materially affected.
Cotton goods, sugar and turpentine
were among the most sensitive of ALL
because they were products of the
Southern states and were so univer-
sally in demand. We never kept
on hand more sugar than was abso-
lutely needed to meet the demands
of our customers from day to day,
because when a barrel had been
sold we were unable to replace it
with another at the same cost. We
made speciality of butter, which
was brought in by fan .ners as far
west as Maquoketa and sold by us
for home consumption. The price
was governed by the quality, there
being three or four grades: of course
our customers all thought they made
as good or better butter than their
neighbors, while as a matter of fact
there was a vast difference in the
goods they brought us. Some of 1t
was soft and white and frowsy
with occasional hairs scattered
through it to hold it together,
though often it did appear to have
strength enough to meet every rea-
sonable demand that might have
been made upon it, but the most OF
what came to us was of good quail
ty and some of it was excellent. One
day a stranger drove up to the store
and inquired if we wanted any but

the average price, and he went away

amined the butter which was pack
ed in five gallon jars and found it
to be of the finest quality, so when
he returned l said to him: "Mr.
Evans, your butter is worth two
cents per pound more than / told
you, ii is so much better than the
average that we can afford to pay
you more for it, which / am glad to
do" He was both surprised and
pleased and thereafter became one
of our regular customers. The
transaction also brought forth fruit
in another way to which reference
will be made in another place.

THE SALOONS WIN OUT
Board of Supervisors Declare MuIct
Petition Sufficient at Noon
Today.
TWO PETITIONS NOW ON FILE.
While First Petition Filed Last FdI
is Before Iowa Supreme Court
For Decision, Second One
Gets Through the
Supervisors.

At high noon today the board of
supervisors of Winneshiek county
| declared the mulct consent petition
filed with the auditor couple of
weeks ago sufficient, and that the sa-
looms of Winneshiek county have the
right to operate under the law, by
reason of this petition.
This is the second time within
six months that the board of SUPER
visors have been called upon to pass
upon mulct consent petition. The
first, circulated on election day last
November and thereafter, was de-
clared sufficient by the board, appeal
ed to the district court and declared
insufficient by Judge Hobson, and is
now before the supreme court of
Iowa for final determination, a de-
cision being expected within a week
or so. The law permits the filing of
one petition each solar year, and in
order to protect themselves against
possible failure in the first instance,
the saloon forces circulated a second
petition in May, which is the one
declared sufficient today.
AT the last election 1882 persons
voted in Winneshiek county. This
second consent petition contained
the signatures of $3.50 voters, less
than the required 65 per cent. but
those who filed the petition also filed
affdavits showing that 154 persons
who voted at the last election had
died or moved out of the county
since that time, leaving 1878 voters
as the basis to figure on, which gave
the second petition, with 3,0SO sig
natures, SO more than the required
SO per cent. There were 81 with
drawals filed by objectors to the Pc
tition.

SEVILLE. February 8. 1911.
From an authoritative source It is
learned that the Pope has authorized
the sale of the Palace of San Telmo in
this city to the Countess Of Paris. as a
residence for her daughter, Queen Amelia
Of Portugal. The palace was for many
years the residence Of the Infanta Maria
Teresa, sister Of Isabella II and wife Of
the Duke Of Montpensier; but the duchess,
then widow. signed a deed on her death
bed bequeathing the property to the
archbishop Of the diocese for the es-
tablishment Of seminary for priests.
This unlooked-for disposition caused a
great ill-feeling among the people OF
Seville. who had always considered the
palace as the property of the nation, and
deeply grieved the Countess of Paris. Inc
Duke of Orleans contested his grand
mothers will in a lawsuit, which lasted
for some years, but eventually the semi
nary was founded. and the countess es-
tablished herself with her family at
Villamanrique, some fifteen miles from
Seville.
always been extremely popular here. 1or
their charity and benevolence are house
hold words among the poor. and the pros
pect of Queen Amelia's return to Seville
in her widoWhood is hailed with delight
by everybody. The palace stands on the
posing baroque frontage extending for
a considerable distance. The grounds,
which were beautifully kept up in the
time of the infanta, contain some inter
trees The palace was built in the eight
eenth century for the purposes Of naval
college: hence its dedication to the SAINT,
who watches over mariners.

eggs to population, the hens of the United

221 600, 900 dozen more eggs than they laid
in 1899.
The per capita product OF milk in the
year 1899 was $3.50 gallons per annum.
To maintain this per capita for the bene-
