ONE MAN NAMES FIVE FARMS.


A few days after our WE'LL known
citizen, A. j. Gardner, had registered
the name Of his farm on the county
line south Of town. another citizen Of
wapello county registered the names
Of five farms, all OF which are located
in one township. This Is no doubt the
best record for the number Of farms
registered by one farmer. County Re
corder L. T.. Cawley, in an interview In
the Ottumwa Review, has the follow
ing to say regarding the registration
law which will be Of interest to any
Of the farmers Of this vicinity who
contemplate taking a name for their
farms:
"a number OF the farmers Of the
county have wrong impression as to
what is required to register farms
Some have received the thought that
1t is only necessary to come to the re-
corder's office and pay 81 and get the
certificate. The law requires that there
be an application in writing giving the
name Of the owner and the description
Of the farm. and this must be certified
before a notary public. The dollar
covers the cost Of fling and the hand
some certificate which Is given to each
one who registers his farm. A large
supply Of the blank applications for
the register Of farm names are on
hand, and all notaries, attorneys or
others who desire them can have them
free Of charge by calling at the-ofSice."

MISUNDERSTANDING ORGANIZED LABOR.

Mr.. F. J. Weber, who is head OF the
labor federation of Wisconsin, is at
hacking the Boy Scout movement. No
body knows much about Mr.. Weber or
cares much about his individual opln-
Ions or utterauces, but Weber as chlel
pfflcer of the labor federation OF Wis

element Of Industrious and respectable
people. In this case it is easy TO be-
aieve that he does not represent those
who inform themselves before they
speak and who balance their urterances

Mr., Weber his choice between two I'M
enviable classifcations- He is either
ignorant or endeavoring 10 deceive.
The boy scouts obligations have been
printed and told so often that all may
,be familiar with them. Perhaps the
.obligation to have on deposit small
sum in a savings bank has frightened
the socialistic leader Of the Wisconsin
federation into the impression that
80 cent deposit is sufficient proof OF
capitalistic tendencies. Pehaps he Is
right so far az 1t goes. II may be ad-
4nitted that the lad who starts with a
small deposit and keeps on saving
something often owns his own house
and lot and quite often goes farther.
Better put, Mr.. Weber might have
warned his people that the savings
bank habit is quite likely to make in
roads on the proletriat by affording
way to avoid paying rent by owning the
house. II the proletariat were abol-

THE sHER1Frs DRourH STORY.


Sheriff Wheatley, OF Rock Rapids,
whose reputation for truth and verac-
ity IS pretty good. tells a story which
it would be hard to believe if II was
not vouched for, On July he was at
his farm near Little Rock and noticed
a big lot Of blackbirds which were sit
ting IN the edge OF the water tank near
his windmill, apparently pretty nearly
choked for a drink. He watched them
a little While and then approached the
tank The birds did not fly away and
even when he approached they showed
no fear. He picked up three Of the
birds. by holding his finger for them
to sit on. and held them down to the
water which was about a-foot below
the top Of the tank and the birds drank
greedily. He then scocped up hand
full of water and others drank from his
hand He then got a piece OF board
and laid In the tank and the birds
soon swarmed on 1t to get at the
water The day was the hottest OF the
season. the therm ometer registering

given to the winds that accumulated
wealth is the shameless proceeds OF
unbridled klep.omania. An element of
truth is made to STAND for the whole
truth, and the possession or control OF
great wealth, however invested, is
made to answer without parley or
proof as conclusive on the point of
rascality. The inhammatOry wildness
proceeds out of speculative zeal for in
ordinate gain. and is nudged In the
way by distorted frenzy in search Of
what is called honor or commonly
known as pelf.
There are the foolish rich and the
foolish poor. and on either side there
is contribution to the sum total of
human ills. The pride of men goes be-
fore many somersaults. and the rich as
we'll as the poor are laid low under the
penalties OF evil. The ranks OF the rich
are recruited from the ranks OF the
humble. and the ranks OF the desper-
ately poor, even to the loss Of good
name are recruited from the ranks OF
the DESTINATIONS and overreaching. Men
are not the product OF money. nor is
compulsion to labor for daily bread de-
structive OF the best fruits OF living.
The very rich, even the foolish. are
contributory to the welfare of the com
mon people. It is altogether doubtful
if indiscriminate giving would benefit
the poor or serve to elevate society.
II man wants $4,000 organ In hts
house and can pay for and maintain 1t,
that is very much his own affair. There
were wage earners who built the or
gan, and the great house where the or

takers. The distribution OF wealth
has many forms md methods by which
a share Is earned are most entitled to
approval. There is the show OF es-
tentation In a great train Of palace
coaches in speed across the continent
but the builders and caretakers are not
to be overlooked. The phenomenal gain

Of means for parting with 1t have OPP
ened thousands OF avenues to men and
women to earn and enjoy respectable
living The telephone Is an import
ant distributor, and SO is the automo-
bile. and so are the aeroplane and the
wireless. The things that were novel
yesterday are commonplace today.
There Is enormous distribution OF
wealth month by month in the produc-
ton and use Of things Of which our
forefathers had no dream.
The revolution in public morals may
be laggard, but the door OF opportun-
ity for material benefit was never wild
er open.

tract whereby they sold to the c. c.
Clemens Produce Company, OF Kansas

year The contract totals $4,000 and
i some Of the biggest apple deals ever
carried out in this section of the west.
Iowas possibilities in the fruit line
are not appreciated. Unfortunately
the state suffered a few years ago
from an epidemic Of fake nurserymen
who sold worthless trees and many
who were robbed at that time have
formed the opin ion that it IS useless
to try to do anything With fruit or

F. H .Dickey, who lives Just north

Of the most successful small farmers
in Iowa. He keeps twelve cows, from
100 to 125 hogs, and eight head OF
horses. He has thirtyfour acres OF
land. He buys all his oats and corn
and he rents grass land and puts up
his own hay. His COWS bring him from
$50 to $50 per month. Last year he
sold $4,000 worth Of Duroc Jersey hogs.
He bought about 1900 bushels Of grain
80 cents per bushel. He figures that
his farm Melted him 800 per acre last

OF hearing all day long the joke
On mother law, and all of that.
But he ne'er knew the old cove hat:
No moving picture show for him
Lived in those ages dark and dim:
Oh. Pharaoh, poor Pharaoh,
There was no phonograph
Upon the Nile to make him smile
Who loved SO much to laugh!

But he ne'er saw an auto race,
Nor heard of Loriner. nor knew
