Leaves Enmities.

The Dubuque Telegraph Herald of
August II, said:-"The question of
substituting the secret ballot for the
petition in deciding saloon consent In
cities and towns is one which doubt
less will occupy the legislature at it's
next session. 1t might be assumed in
some quarters that the anti-saloon
forces would oppose the change, but
we find many of them advocating it.
Their reason in part is perhaps their
secret hope that with the secret bal
lot in vogue they could make dry"
territory what is now wet" terri
tory. But there is another large fac
tor considered; it is community
peace. The petition of consent has
destroyed unity of effort in many
Iowa cities because of the division
of leaders of thought and action on
the question OF the saloons-a divis-
ion generally so sharply and bitter
ly defined as to leave enmities that
do not heal. The Shankland bill,
which was considered in the last ses-
sion of the legislature, provides for
determining the issue of saloons or
not saloons by ballot instead Of by
petition. 1t was at first regarded as
a measure drawn in the saloons in
terest, but that impression is fast
disappearing, evidenced III the sup
port given the measure by temper
ance clergymen. All base their sup
port of the Shankland bill on the
ground that the petition Of consent is
undemocratic and therefore un-Amer-
lean. But in advocating it they abate
not one jot of their hostility to sa-
looms and the liquor traffic.
with "drys" and 'wets" united
behind the Shankland dill it ought to
be an easy matter to secure its adop-
ton by the next legislature"

Hogs are Dying.

Hogs by the hundreds in southern
Butler and northern Grundy are dy-
ing from disease closely resemb-
ling the old fashioned cholera. BY
many it is supposed to be cholera.
The pigs have high fever and loss
of appetite. Sometimes they live sew
eral days and again they die quickly.
Some of the farmers south OF town
have lost practically all their herds,
including the old ones. All efforts
to check the disease have thus far
proven unavailing and If the disease
continues it will mean serious loss
to the farmers of this vicinity. This
is one of the greatest hog raising
sections in the middle west and the
hog is the king of the bank account
of the majority of the farmers. The
loss will be all the greater if the corn
crop should be bumper one.-Par-
kersburg Eclipse.

BIG PRICE FOR LAND.
Webster City Man Makes Gain of
S221 Per Acre on Farm.

Webster City, Iowa, Aug. 26.-H.
/. Thompson of this city has just dis
posed of ten acres off a piece of land
consisting of hundred acres that he
owns north of this city at an advance
of 1921 per acre over what he bought
it for twenty-five years ago.
The piece was sold to Mrs. A. Day,
who gave $3.50 per acre or $1,000 for
the piece. Mr.. Thompson bought the
whole 100 acres twenty-five years
ago at 500 per acre, so that the ten
acres he has just sold cost him the
paltry sum of $3.50. There are no im-
provements on it.

Lots of Watermelons.

Hundreds of tons of watermelons
are being shipped from Muscatine is
land daily at the present time. The
Rock Island and the Muscatine north
and south trains have both put on
an additional switch engine in order
to handle the long string of cars sent
down along the spurs below the city
each day. The Muscatine melon is
known throughout the entire country
and to supply the demand several
hundred carloads are shipped from
this point every year. The Muscatine
melons are plentiful this year and
with occasional showers the quality
will be of the best.
