Disastrous to Hunters.
"The time is. coming when there
will be no places in which the game
fish can spawn or the game birds
can breed if the state continues in its
policy of draining all these small
lakes" said r. G. Davidson of Al
coma. "The game fish will not spawn
in the big rivers nor in the larger
lakes. They hide away in these
small, swampy lakes to do their
spawning, where they are away from
the cannihals of the waters. The
same is true of the game birds and
fowls, especially the ducks. They HE
to these small inland swamp lakes to
do their breeding, where they can
hatch their young undisttirbed. If
the state persists in its policy OF
draining off these lakes. where are
the ducks going TO fin breeding
places and the game fish spawning
places? | fear there will be none,
and then the hunters of Iowa who
have paid thousands of dollars into
the state treasury, will get nothing
for their money, because there will
be no game birds and no game fish. .

COMMISSIONER ISSUES WARNING
Should Not Attempt !, To Establish
Creamery Unless Eight Hundred
Cows Are Available.

Des Moines.-More than fifteen
creameries have been built in this
state during the last year by pro-
motors in communities that are not
able to support the creameries, &C.
cording to the state food and dairy
commissioner. Mr.. Barney further
states that it has come to The knowl-
edge OF this department that certain
creamery promoters are working I'M
der or with the Endorsement OF the
dairy and food commissioner. All
parties authorized by this depart
ment are supplied with proper Gre
dentials and no person working under
the department is interested il the
sale of machinery Or equipment. mas
much as a number Of plants that
have been built by promoters are now
standing idle, we feel it our duty to
again issue warning to the public.
These promoters appear to be more
interested in building and equpplng
plants to be sold to local stockhold-
crs at an eXorbilant price than they
dustry. No creamery should be es-
tablished unless the product Of 500
COWS is available
Experts on creamery organization
may be secured by communication
with the state dairy and food commits
sioner without expense TO those in
terested. These men are in every
way qualified to give assistance where
parties contemplate organizations OF
this kind. Where ii is found on in
vestigation that creamery can be
profitably operated. saving Of from
$1,000 to $4,000 may be made for the
stockholders by securing the assist
ance of this department. and the
dairy department al Ames.
Knoxville Asylum May Be Next.
Is the FIT. Madison muddle to be re-
peated at the state inebriate hospital
at Knoxville? 1t begins to look that
way, judging by the number OF com
plants which are being made regard
ing the management of the instltu'
ton. An examination of the cases,
however, shows that the majority OF
the complaints are not we'll founded.
Superintendent George Dorohue is
charged with putting many patients
in solitary confinement on bread and
water. DR.. Eannistcr of the board
Ct control says That such treatment
is often the best thing for patients.
1t is also charged that Snpcrntend-
ent Donohue pays no attention to pc
titions for release OF inmates This
charge develops the fact that often
people have relative sent to the in
sutton till he sobers uD.' The Judge
sends him for three years and when
he sobers up the relatives can't get
him out. Superintendent nonohue
holds that no "boozer" can DC cured
inside of six months; that he is the
sole Judge of when Il man is cured.
and therefore the petitions don't GO
with him till he knows the inmate
is cured.

Hin City News Notes.

Hill City, Kan, Aug. 16.-A fine 3Sz
inch rain fell all over Graham county
and bumper corn crop is just about
assured. The wheat crop is proving
to be much better than was anticipated
and the quality of the grain is unsur-
passed. Fields of kaff1r corn and other
feed crops are showing up well and
the season of 1912 bids fair to be one
of the most prosperous in the history
of the county.
The new opera block which is being
built by DR.. I. B. Parker is nearing
completion. This building will be a
credit to the city when finished 1t
will be occupied on the ground floor,
by the Graham State bank and by a
firm which will put in an immense
stock of general merchandise. 1t is I'M
derstood that this firm is one which
is intending to place stores in many
of the western Kansas towns. Their
capital runs up into the millions. The
upper floor will be finished for a swell
up-to-date opera house and the furnish
ings will be of the best grades only.
Hill City, at the recent primary, re-
newed her reputation for queer voting
among the Republicans and while
Roosevelt carried the precinct by
large majority, and Capper was an
easy winner, yet Curtis carried it By
a vote of to 1 over Stubs and only
lost the county by nine votes.

NORCATUR A LIVE TOWN

Norcatur, Kan, Aug. 16.-This town
is the home of ]. NJ. Shuey, the pres
ent member of the legislature from
Decatur county, who was renominated
for second term in the late primary
election. He is engaged in the land,
loan and insurance business, besides he
has built up quite an extensive law
practice. He is a thorough believer
that western Kansas has bright fu-
ture before her. He has seen his sec
ton of Kansas build up, and he is
in thorough accord with the every en-
terprise tending to advance the best
interests of the farming section.
Norcatur Is a Good Town.
Norcatur takes its name from the
first syllable of Norton and the last
two of Decatur 1t is situated in De-
catur county, not far from the line of
Norton county, and is midway between
the towns of Oberlin and Norton. 1t
is on the branch of the B. & M.
road from Republican City, Neb., tic
Oberlin, the county seat of Decatur
county, which town is the terminus. 1t
has about 500 population. 1t has beer
known to ship as high as zoo carloads
of wheat in one year. 1t has two
banks, five general stores, two hard
ware and implement firms, two lum-
Der yards( Touring mill, elevators and
newspaper. 1t is surrounded by
good country, and while the wheat
yield is small this year, there is a
spirit of confidence among the wheat
raisers that so far the prospects for
another year is most favorable. The
ground is in fine shape, and the mois-
ture has so far been plentiful. There
are many fine fields of corn looking
healthy. The forage crops are the best
seen for several years.
The Dead Ones in Norton.
Norcatur has a cemetery, but it is
across the line, in Norton county. Some
one has said: "All the live people live
are in Norton county" This is not
intended to cast reflections on Norton
county, but the fact remains that Nor
catur's cemetery is over the line, in
Merton county.
Shows Irrigation Possibilities.
The irrigation plant of L. D. Reid, of
the firm of Nelson & Reid, lumber deal
ers, of Norcatur, is worth a visit. 1t is
or a small scale, but it plainly shows
what irrigation can do. He is irrigating.

acres. On one of them enough vege-
tables have grown this season to supply

onions, cabbage, tomatoes, beans and
potatoes have been raised by the car

ing grapes, strawberries, whartleber-
ries, cherries and peaches by means of
his irrigation system. His plant in

about 1925, which more than paid for
itself from the sale of his products.

Iola,s Gas Discoverer Dies.

lola, Kan, Aug. lev. S. Pricer.
the man who discovered the lola gas
field, is dead at Hobart, Ok. Pricer
came here some fifteen years ago
when nobody knew or suspected that
there was gas in commercial quanti-
ties. He started drilling at a point in
lola now known as Mineral Park and
exhausted all his own money and all
he could secure from his friends, but
failed to strike gas. Later Santa
Fe conductor, M Paullen, formed a
partnership with him and within a
short time Pricer brought in his fam
Gus ten million foot gasser. He or
ganized the lola Gas company and
later sold out his interest for large
sum. He dissipated his fortune at
tempting to find gas near Kansas
City. A few years ago he located at
Hobart and opened a small field
there. Throughout his entire career
his business cards bore the inscrip-
ton, wv. S. Prieer, the Man Who
