Talk Municipal Lodging House
Considering the tri-cities a fertile
4 field for the establishment of a mu-
nicipal lodging house other than the
police station or county jail, Pat
Grove, as one of the prime instigat-
ors, has evolved a scheme for the
realization of the project Grove has
associated with him, Rev. II. ]. Rich
| ardson, formerly of Muscatine, and a
minister in various cities in Iowa for
/ the past u years. II is the intention
that the municipal house be supported
by the citizens through the purchase
Of a little book containing coupons
good at the house Instead of donat-
ing small sums to beggars who appeal
to business men for aid daily, cou-
pom will be given the applicant which
will purchase him lunch OF meal and
which will prevent him from spending
the donation for liquor. Part of the
maintenance of the house will be de-
rived through payment of lodging fees
and meals by those who can afford
such.

LESSON OF GINNING REPORT

The census bureaus report shows that up to February g, 16,050,816 running bales had been ginned, with a probability that at least 239, 40 bales are yet to be re- ported from the ginnings of this month.
 There is a lesson in these figures which farmers will do we'll to heed. They mean that surplus age of several millions of bales must be carried over, and that this will be added to next seasons crop. This will effect the price next fall just in proportion to the amount the farmers grow. If they do not make a decided reduction In their acreage the price of the coming crop will be as low as that of the season just closed.- Fort Smith Times Record.

 Der for Win Bantriin

H. A. Baker was struck by a limb while cutting timber in the Black river bottoms Monday and instantly killed.
 He and George Rowbecker were cutting timber from a boat in the backwaters near Black river. In felling a tree, the top of the tree struck another tree, causing a limb to break and fly back. The limb struck MT. Baker on the head, knocking him from the boat into about seven feet of water and kill ing him instantly.
 Several other parties were at work in boats nearby and by their assistance the body was rescued and taken out to his home.
 Mir. Baker was about 50 years of age. He leaves a wife, but no children, having been married only about a month. He and his wife came to that community recently from Clover Bend.
