SEARCH FAILS
TOCET YEGCMEN.
SMALL TOWNS IN WESTERN IOWA
ARE TERRoRIzEp BY
rhEFTs.

Thayer, Sept. 7.-An all night
search In this section failed to disclose
the whereabouts of the Ave yeggman
who early yesterday executed one OF
the most daring bank robberies in the
history Of Iowa Officials stated today
they are of the opinion that the men
have made good their escape.
Coming into the town under cover
of night the men first made their APP
pearance at the railroad station, firing
several shots through the window.
Then they ordered Station Agent John
Hall and companion to throw up
their hands. The men quickly com
piled and the robbers searched the
station. Finding no money they fired
a few more shots and then searched
Hall from whom they took $12.
Hall was ordered to give infOrmu
ton regarding the first bank of Thay-
er, private institution and when he
refused to do 80 the yeggmen marched
him and his companion to the bank
where, covered by revolvers in the
hands of one robber, they watched
the other four place large charge Of,
dynamite under the door of an old
fashioned safe in the bank and blew
it from its hinges.
Many citizens who had been attrac-
ted to the scene of the robbery by the
shooting also stood by and watched
the robbers gather up all the money
in sight, which was $500, and calmly
walk OF in the darkness. Before leav-
ing, however, they returned to Hall
the $12 they had relieved him OF at the
railroad station. Witnesses of the
robbery say the men made their way
to the railroad yards and boarded an
outgoing freight train.
Late in the day two OF the robbers
were seen to leap from the train near
East Peru, Iowa.
The sheriff was notified and posse.
formed. According to the report re-
ceived here the two men were chased
into cornfield and the field was sur
rounded. The sheriff and his deputies
were reluctant to enter the field but
a physician. who was a member of
the posse, ventured toward the men,
only to be met by q volley of bullets
from the yeggmen's revolvers. None
of the shots were effective, however.
The robbers then disappeared and
were not followed.

Claudius Dreams

The warm, fragrant, southern
breezes heralding real spring, had
"got to" Claudius with a vengeance
and it was only the enthusiasm of
the afternoon schedule that reused
him to the realization that all was
in readiness. AS he stepped into
the auto which had driven up in
front of his home, he glanced back
over the long line of motor vehicles,
of all kinds and descriptions, all
eagerly awaiting the signal for the
start. Finally, everything in readi-
ness, the cavalcade began to wend
it's way toward Hudson. A short
distance out of town it halted, and
oyeralled and in shirt sleeves, the
passengers clambered out, each
carrying hoe, shovel or pick, and,
after a short consultation, began
smoothing out the road. A short
session of this, and the party again
proceeded, again stopping, and the
same procedure ensued. This was
repeated many times, until finally,
little beyond the Hogsback" an
other party of autoists, these from
Hudson, were met, and after a few
exchanges of greetings, they passed,
the River Falls JOY riders going on
into Hudson and the Hudson autos
to River Falls. In the evening the
return trip was made, this time
with tools laid away. Claudius,
having made innumerable trips
over the Hudson road, was accus-
toned to sit rigid, expectant OF
bumps and thank-you-mams but,
much to his surprise and delight,
there were no such Interruptions.
| The Hudson party was met, and
they, too, were remarking on the
wonderful change the volunteer
road gangs had made. Behold, the
road between the two cities, so
much used by auto and team, was
smooth and devoid of mud and sink
holes, and was excellently adapted
for both business and pleasure
| trips.
Honk, honk, honk. Claudius
rubbed his eyes sleepily. 1t was
his friend Lee, waiting to take him
for a little joy ride-and out the
Hudson road. Claudius, with his
dream still firmly set" in his mind
/ Jumped in and was eager for the
spin. Out main street they whirled
and then alas, poor Claudius
awoke, and such an awakening was
] too much, too much. We refuse to
print further on The subject. Yea
bo, it was really too much.

Clean Up The Yard

The Ladies Improvement League
have designated Saturday, April
27, as General Cleaning Day" for
the city, and all those who have
not already done so, are supposed
to have their yards, both front and
rear. looking spick and span before
the close of that day.
This yard cleaning business is a
duty everyone should take especial
interest in, and one that no one can
afford to neglect. A large, hand
some residence may have a most
unsightly appearance just on &C.
count of the untidyness of the sur
rounding yards, and many of the
humblest homes have been pointed
out by passers by as attractive by
reason of the excellent tidy appear
ance of the grounds. Even if you
are not any too particular of your
own place, you should note that
the unsightly condition of your
yard also tends to reflect and to
distract from the beauty that your
neighbor has tried So hard to put
into his lots. But everyone un-
doubtedly will make it point to
have his yard in first class shape
for the summer, and will keep it
so, for the beauty of its location is
on of the most alluring features of
River Falls, and every citizen will
feel it personal duty and matter
of civic pride to show off, the
town to it's best advantage.
The Ladies Improvement League
is one of the best booster organi
cations River Falls has, and their
efforts in this yard cleaning cam
paign, as in other lines deserves
the heartiest support of all the
citizens.

About half a million bushels of
pedigreed barley were grown in
Wisconsin last year, according to
Prof. R. A. Moore of the agronomy
department of the college of Agri-
culture of the Unworthy of Wiscon-
sin. Prof. Moore estimates that at
least half of the barley grown in
the state is used for mating, one
fourth is used for feeding purposes,
and one fourth is sold for seed. A
small part of the barley crop is
used by barley pearlers. Most
of the barley used for feed is
ground and fed to dairy cattle,
sheep. and hogs. AS yet this feed
is used only in limited quantities
for horses.

ed constitution as a means TO am
end, the happiness and welfare Of the
people. Jefferson said Some men
look at constitutions with sanctimo-
nious reverence. and deem them like
the ark Of the covenant, too sacred to
be touched But laws and Institutions
must 60 hand in hand with progress.
AS new discoveries are made, new
truths disclosed and manners and
opinions change with the change of
circumstances, institutions must adj
vance also and keep pace with the
times. We might as well require a
man to wear still the coat which fitted
him when boy as civilized society to
remain ever under the regimen Of their
ancestors. 1t IS this preposterous
idea which has lately deluged Europe
in blood, Their rulers, instead OF
wisely yielding to the gradual change
Of circumstances, have clung to old
abuses and obliged the people to seek,
through blood and violence, rash and
ruinous innovations. Let us follow no
such examples nor weakly believe that
one generation is not as capable as
another Of taking care or itself and Of
ordering its own affairs. II this ave-
nue. be shut to the call Of suffrage it
will make itself heard through that Of
force"
OF the money power" OF his day
Jefferson said: Il hope we shall
crush in its inception the aristocracy
Of our moneyed corporations, which
dare already to challenge our govern
ment to test OF strength and bid de-
fiance to the laws Of our country"
Jefferson, though Of distinguished
ancestry cared nothing for it and
wrote: They trace their pedigree
far back in England and Scotland, to
which let everyone ascribe the faith
and merit he chooses" He was also
opposed to such organizations as the
Sons Of the Revolution, Colonial Wars,
that have the hereditary idea, the So
ciety in his day he fought being The
Cincinnati" composed Of officers of
the revolutionary army.
Jefferson, though an idealist, was
also practical politician and,
through his political skill built up
party organization that for half cen
tury ruled the country. He believed
in parties, though not because Of Of
flee or spoils. but because Of princi-
pies and drew a sharp distinction be-
tween what is now known as boss
and a leader.
