HITS THE DRUG STORES.
Iowa Supreme Court Hands Down
an Important Ruling Which
Affects the Druggists.

Des Moines, Ia, Jan. 15.-The SUI
preme court today clamped the lid
on the sale of liquor in drug stores
by holding that the request blank
must be filled in ink by the customer,
and that it must absolutely specify
the purpose for which the liquor is
to be used. To say for medical use"
or for mechanical use" is not suffi-
cient; that counts as violation of the
law by the druggists. The court
holds that if the customer fills out
the blank with a lead pencil the law
is violated; that if the purpose is
not printed on the request blank
the law is violated, and also if the
druggist writes in the purpose the
law is violated.
F. e. Foster, a Gladbrook drug
gist, had request blanks filed out
with the words for mechanical use, y
and some others "for medicinal use. -
He filled in the order blanks and
the customer only signed his name
The court holds that not only has
he violated the law, but that the
building he rents is nuisance and
must be closed by the courts.

TRUSTEES MUST ACT.
Must Elect superintendent to Look
After Dragging.

Township trustees must meet the
first Monday in February to appoint
superintendent of road dragging in
the several townships for the year
1912. This feature of the road laws
of Iowa was given out last week by
Nels j. Lee, special counsel in the
office of the attorney general at Des
Moines. According to the provisions
of the compulsory road dragging
law, the trustees are supposed to
meet in April to name the superin.
tendents. Three days after the pas.
sage of the law mentioned, however
Mr.. Lee found that the general as
sembly passed another statute, fixing
the time Of meeting as the first Mon.
day in February. This act being ap
proved at later date, its provisions
are to be followed rather than the
provisions of the former law, accord,
ing to Mr.. Lee.

The bride is young lady well
worthy of his choice, possessing
many of those admirable qualities
which make for the best in woman

New Stallion Law.

A new law went into effect Jan
uary /, 1912, which requires that
every owner of a Stallion or Jack,
must have the animal examined by
regular qualified veterinarian who
must make affidavit to the soundness
of the animal, which must be filed
with the secretary of the board OF
agriculture at Des Moines. Animals
afflicted with certain diseases can
not be used, sold or exchanged and
unsoundness which the animal may
possess must be printed conspicuous
ly in the bills or advertisement OF
the animal.
OF course, there are fees attach
ed to the law and this will help
some one. The law is in all prob
ability a good one, but we cannot
help but think the state is paying
more attention to the breeding OF
farm animals than to the propagation
of the human animal.-Lawler Dis

willing to take up the burden. w.
T. Symonds, who for many years has
conducted the DEBORAH Greenhouses,
with the able assistance of his good
wife, has taken the boys into the

ability along the line of plant cul-
ture and has been doing some spe-
cializing the past year or two which
promises to be quite profitable for
the firm, and w. T. Jr. is falling in
line in good shape too, and with both
now members of the firm it will
make them still more ambitious for
success. They are fine young men
and We wish the new firm continued
and increasing success in every way

HAUGEN IN MASON CITY.
The Congressman of the Fourth Dis
trict S,ops at the Hub.

Congressman G. n. Haugen was in
Mason City recently, en- route from
his home in Norwood to resume
his work at Washington. Mr.. Haul
gen has not as yet declared his in
tentionS as to future political move
ments. Some time ago it was her
aided in the daily press that it was
not likely that he would be a candi-
date for reelection, but this never
came from Mr.. Haugen and he has
not as yet declared his intention
along this line. Just how he stands
on presidential matters is also in his
own possession to this hour. He has
generally been considered progress
sive, although it is known that he
was a supporter of Senator Allison
when he secured his last nomination.
Whether Congressman Haugen is a
Taft man, for LaFollette of for an
entirely new man has not been an
nounced.
1t is quite probable that in short
time the congressional committee
having the matter in hama, will take
up the contest that the friends of
Hon. d. d. Murphy are waging
against him, for his seat in congress.
On the face of the returns Mr.. Haul
gen was elected by plurality of 220.
1t has been stated by Mr.. Murphy
that he will not permit his friends
to do anything that is not exactly
right in this contest. He is against
showing up those who are holding
down federal jobs and their alleged
activity in the congressman behalf
In fact, Mr.. Murphy wants nothing
more than the count to go before the
committee, and as the official count
has already been made it looks as
If there was no show at all for Mr..
Murphy, even in a democratic con-
gress. Mason City Times.

Expected That $465,OOO Will be De.
rived From Licenses
i'm 1912.

The average cost for motor car
numbers for the 10000 autos in
Iowa for the current year will be
about $500. This year the cost is
to be just double what it was for
the half year for which numbers
were just issued last time. There
was issued some $4,000 numbers for
autos and enough for dealers and
motorcycles to bring the total up to
about $1,000, and the total cost was
1892, 44O, which would be about
$3.50 for each. The total amount
received in this fund during 1912
should be upwards of S465, 900 This
will all, but Is per cent, be distri-
buted among the counties for the
