GOING AGAIN
DaiIy Grouch's Wheels Oiled Up
and Going Around Once More

The Daily Crouch in long ar
ticle last Friday attempted to de-
fine its position, it said, but just
why it should do so we can see no
reason, as it's position will be en-
tirely different next week. 1t ex-
presses surprise that the Register
should notice it. as We have failed
to do so for some time. The last
time we did the Crouch complained
that it was not fair to jump on
it when it's machinery was crippled.
We were greatly surprised to hear
that the editors wheels had ceas-
ed to move and consequently re-
Trained from further notice until
it was apparent it had secured an
aldermanic assistant editor whose
wheels never stop.
The editor then accuses us of
copying some of our reading mat
ter, while he claims his brain
i2manates original editorials-like
'lasses oozes from a bunghole. II
he had not been so extremely mod
est he would have said "scintil-
lates,' as that was what he evil
IDENTIFY feels. OF course the entire
first page of it's issue in which
this statement was made was stol-
en- from the Denver dailies without
any attempt at credit.
This, however. is a small prevar-
ication when compared with his
statement that he has INDUCED In
no personalities in this campaign.
There is no question but what his
wheels are we'll oiled up and work
ing overtime now. When man
thinks he can cover six weeks of
personal slurs by a bald statement
like that, he evidently imagines he
is in T.. RS. class. There is moth
ing like feeling good.
Farther along in the article he
attempts to justify these attacks
on the ground that he finds it nee
essary to depose these men in or
der that he can select a good tick

us tina has no personal feel

Monday evening. In spite of the
close times during the past winter
the lecture course has not been a
failure financially and the commit
tee. encouraged by the support re-
ceived. has concluded to reduce
the prices for next year. A full
house at a moderate price will pay
the way of such a course as we had
the past winter and will be of more
service to the community than a
smaller house at higher prices. A
committee will be set at work i'm
mediately pledging tickets for next
year. and we believe that under
these circumstances they should re-
ceive unusually good support.

BUYS DECATUR COUNTY LAND.
Colonel w. p. Hepburn Adds to His
Real Estate Holdings.

While Page county farming land
is selling generally at considerably
above 500 an acre, and much of it
around the 5000 mark, over in De-
catur county, in the same congress-
ional district in which Page county
is located, farms of very productive
soil are selling at about one-third
the Page county price, or even
cheaper than that. Only last Friday
Colonel w. p. Hepburn of this city
bought a Decatur county farm of
sixty acres for $475O per acre. 1t
is a fine farm too. This land adjoins
in Long Creek township a farm of
S61 acres previously obtained by
Colonel Hepburn. Two years, ago he
bought part of the S61 acres for 500
an acre, and some of the place he
got before that time for only $23
an acre. His total of AL acres of
Long Creek, Decatur county, land
cost him from $23 to 500 and $47.5O
an acre. and all bought within re-
cent years. His Decatur county
land is seventy-one miles east of
Clarinda, one-half mile from DeKalb
and three and one-half miles from
VanWert on the keokuk and West
ern railroad. From a fifteen acre
field of the farm Colonel Hepburn
has secured samples of choice corn,
placed on display at the Page County
State bank at Clarinda, we'll worth
looking at. The colonel says that
men in Decatur county estimate that
the yield of corn from that fifteen
acre field will range from eighty to
one hundred bushels per acre. The
colonel in addition to his Decatur
county farm owns a large body of
land in Nodaway township, Page
county, near Yorktown, and stands
up stoutly for Page county soil, but
none too strong, although he insists
that there is none better in the
world, but he also condemns the
practice of Page county people going
off to Canada or different states in
the Union, away from Iowa, for
cheaper land, when such good land
can be purchased in Decatur county,
for the comparatively low prices
which prevail there. Colonel Hep

county for blue grass.-Clarinda

Myra Gladys Spencer.

Little Myra Gladys, daughter of
Edwin G. and Myra M. Spencer, was
born May 10th, 1911 and died Oct.
9Th, 1912, being one year, four
months and "a days old. She was
first taken sick Aug. 25th and all
that loving hands could do was done
for. her, but the Lord saw fit to call
her home and her little life in this
world left her at about $3.50 We'd

by all her relatives and neighbors.
Little Gladys will be sadly missed
from the home and community and
her place can never be filed, but she
is bright shining angel today
reckoning us to come to her when
our work is done here on earth.
The funeral service was held
Thursday afternoon at New Salem,
conducted by Rev. J. S. Coffin of the
Christian church, assisted by the
choir of the M. E. church. The re-
mains were laid to rest in the New

there never was such committee in

Senate. Look this up on page five
of the Leon Reporter of May goth
1t seems strange to me that some
one would report to the voters all
over Decatur county that Hon. Is
rael Smith belonged to the steerage
committee and helped block the cleo
ton of a United States Senator,
when there was no such committee
in existence.
Such statements show downright
ignorance, righteousness, treachery
and disloyalty to the republican
party. It is now about nesting time,
and there will be some pretty big
guns in Decatur county between now
and the day of election, who will try
to shoot up our party platforms. We
all should be ready andloaded for big
game, and help gather them in, such
as elephants, donkeys and moosers,
who will be our servants to look
after our interests in county and
state in the future.

state legislature, if he is going to
accept the former compensation, and
back up with a band and promise
to turn over the extra five hundred
dollars to the school fund of Deca-
aur county? And if bill is brought
up in the next legislature for pas
sage to raise the tax on moneys and

Is he going to support Senator
