Colonel MAher. Il was a member. and am

n4ed 10 get him interested. but he refused
70 come in because he was for Bryan.
Every man then interested in politics will
recall that we had q real fight. The Bryan
Esn carried the second ward by eleven
otss and that delegation gave them con
no Of the convention. Flynn was with
Sahlman for Bryan at that time, and the
Tacksonians were the simon-pure anti
Bryan men

we find three or four men calling a

Road in Good Condition.

As the physical condition Of the road is
the best in its history, there is a posi-
bility that the section forces will be main
tanned on the winter basis for some time.
There are some persons here who blame
the local officials for the retrenchment
policy being adopted. They, however, have
had nothing to do with IL aside from
carrying out the orders OF officials higher
Up in the service
1t is contended. however, that the re
trenchment at this time is no greater than
usually occurs every fall after the rush
OF business ceases, the only difference
being that now the employees are laid off
in what might be considered wholesale
manner, while heretofore they have been
laid off singly. or a few at & time.

Council Bluffs, Dec. 16.-To fall four
teen feet down an areaway upon a
concrete floor, and to land upright
upon ones feet, absolutely uninjured
is an experience that does not happen
twice in the average lifetime. But
it was the experience during the noon
hour of Frank Ellis of Des Moines, the
accountant who is here assisting State
Accountant NJ. F. Cox to check up the
different county Offices.
Me- Ellis had paper inside the OF.
flee which he wished to read during
the noon hour. and he returned Inn
mediately after lunch, only to find the
Office door locked. Looking about, he
spied an open window which opens
on an areawey opening down to the
basement floor. Not realizing there
was no floor, upon which to walk to
the open window. distance of per-
haps over 10 #. Mr.. Ellis flung himself
lightly over the protecting ballustrade.
! Instead Of landing on the floor, ne
began to fall, and went the entire dis
lance to the concrete floor Of the base
ment about fourteen feet below. He
was fortunate enough, however, to land
squarely on his feet, and worked dur
ing the afternoon, no worse for the
incident beyond few buttons broken
from his shoes. "

Des Moines, Dec. 16.-The hun
dreds of displays Of the finest apples

the state capitol, have been removed
and are now in their way back to the
farms in refrigator cars, for the ex'
hibit closed with the awarding OF the
prizes. & ...s~:3 Ill
The show was by far the greatest
ever held in Iowa, and in the estima-
ton OF the officers of the State Horti-
cultural society it was fully equal to
that of the Hood River, Ore, show.
There were 2,4OO plates of apples, and
217 boxes arranged tastefully about
the rotunda and the exhibit was visit
J ed daily by hundreds of people, but
more particularly those interested IN
! fruit growing.
The horticultural society in session
last evening voted to make the 1917
show even greater than that OF THIS
year and accepted the invitation OF the
Des Moines COMMERCIAL club to use the
Auditorium on Fourth street to mouse
the display.
The work OF Judging the exhibits
was a hard task. for the exhibits con-
sisted ofsthe finest specimens OF apples
grown The ratings were governed py
the uniformity and conformity to
desirable. type for each variety or yari-
cites under consideration in the foi-
lowing proportion: Sixe 80; color, 80;
form, 10; quality condition and free
dom from defects 80. For the plate
displays the judges were: Charles O.
Garrett of Mitchellville, for the north
