A Voice From the Grave.

The Webster City Index believes
that history repeats ITSELF" 1t also
believes that William II. Taft will
be re-nominated by the votes Of
three-fourths Of the delegates to the
Chicago convention and that he will
be triumphantly elected by major
ity of the ballots Of the sober, earn

band wagon is that over which Taft
holds the reins. All others are shams
and subterfuges-coming from no.
where and going nowhere. Bur

The time Of the filing with the sup

Several "intervenors." as they are
called, appealed the matter on their
own account to the state supreme
court. The matter has been there
for several months. "
AS stated before, the supreme
court decision upholds that the al

SALOONS TO
Be CLOSED
Fort Dodge Newspapers Say Saloon
Men in That City Expect
to Close up on
March 9Th.
SUPREME COURT RESPONSIBLE.
Adverse Decision in Oskaloosa Sa-
loon Case Similar to That
at Fort Dodge.

Fort Dodge Messenger: That the
saloon men of Fort Dodge expect
they will have to close up their
places of business on March 9Th, be-
cause Of an adverse decision of the
supreme court, was made apparent
by the utterance Of two Of them to-
day. Withdrawals from withdraw
ais in the Oskaloosa mulct petition
case were this week declared illegal.
The Fort Dodge case is a similar
one.
BY the decision of the supreme
court, the mulct petition OF consent
here lacks fifty-nine names. This
decision upholds that Of the county
board of supervisors and reverses
the decision given by Judge c. G..
Lee in district court March a.,
1911, on an appeal taken by the
liquor men.
Figures concerned in the Fort
Dodge case are as follows: .
Total number on poll books,
last election -. .2,032
Names needed on petition to
secure majority 1,017
Names on face of mulct petit
ton of consent Lbs
Number signatures thrown out
by supervisors ..... So
Number Of written withdraw
ais Of signatures ........ FOG
Number OF Withdrawals allow
ed by supervisors ......... 204
Number of Withdrawals from
Withdrawals. disallowed by
board of supervisors as illeg-
Number of valid signatures,
therefore, on petition $50. 95S
Deficiency in number of sigma
lures required ......-.-.. So
Fort Dodge still remembers the
hot campaign that progressed after
the circulation OF the mulct petition
of consent. After the fling Of the
petition by the liberal league, the
liquor forces, the Civic league, made
up of "drys," circulated withdrawal
lists. Then the "wets" secured
Withdrawals from Withdrawals.
When the board of supervisors
canvassed the petition. on Jan. II
and Jan. Is, M. S. ode, attorney
for the state anti-saloon league. rep
resented the Civic league, and B. ]
Price represented the saloon inter
ests Much interest was taken in
the canvass and large crowd filled
the supervisors room as the names
on the petition were compared with
the names on the poll books. Several
names were thrown Off because the
initials did not coincide.
| Following the decision of the
board of supervisors that the with
drawals from Withdrawals were IL
legal, as their effect was to put
names on the petition after the
time limit was up, the saloon forces
appealed to the district court. Judge
C. G.. Lee heard the case and at
p. m. March 81. after the polls hat
closed on the city election. rendered
his decision favoring the "wets.

$500 an Acre?

Paullina Times: Do you suppose
that O'Brien county land will ever
sell for $500 an acre? And If it
does, do you suppose that you will
live to see the time? c. A. Nelson
of Waverly, Ia, answered both ques-
lions in the affirmative last Friday
afternoon when he addressed the in
stitute on matters pertaining to
dairy farming. OF course, he ex-
planned that in order to make the
land do this the farmers would have
to take to raising dairy herds.
Mr. Nelson was secured at the
last moment, almost, to occupy part
of the afternoon. In spite OF this
there was a fine audience ready to
listen to him. and they gave him
most marked attention. Mr.. Nelson
was not a polished orator, nor did
he pretend to be. But he had a de-
tailed knowledge OF dairy farming
and was full of his subject. Had
enough persons desired to ask ques-
lions he could have kept them going
all day and then some.
The speaker told the story of his
own success with dairy farming and
admitted that anyone else could
have the same success he did. He
pointed out that there was no use
in keeping cow that didn't give
enough milk to pay her board. He
suggested that small start be made
buy one or two extra good cows
and build up the herd a few at q
time. He said that 5000 a year
clear money was easily made from a
good COW. He was in favor Of the
silo as means Of keeping feed.
OBrien county is not much Of a
dairy country, but If Mr.. Nelson's
ideas were carried out it might be-
come so in time.
Mr.. Nelson based his prediction
about the price Of land on the fact
that by raising dairy cattle the soil
can be made to return interest on
that much investment. He claimed
so acres was enough to be handled
as a dairy farm and that with that
much land and dairy herd young
man could make himself wealthy.

Ugly Wound in Hand.

E. F. Dennis, machinist at the
Brown skate factory, met with an
accident Friday afternoon by
which he will likely be off duty for
a few days. While about his work
he slipped on the floor and in at
tempting to save himself from a fall,
struck his left hand heavily on the
point Of an auger. The auger pene-
trated the fleshy part of the hand
to the bone, making an ugly wound.
DR.. Desmond dressed the injury.

linois Central railroad, run by the
Iowa State Dairy Association and
the railroad company, will be in
Webster City on the afternoon OF
Saturday, March 16, at one o'clock,
and will remain here one hour. 1t
will arrive at Williams at 1920 in
the forenoon of the same day, at
Harrisburg at 1880, and at Dun
combe at 2:2O in the afternoon. The
train will have on board number
of dairy experts, who will discuss
Interesting subjects in that line. All
lectures are free and everybody, in
Guiding women and children, are in
vited.
The Freeman Tribune is in re-
ceipt Of the following self-explana-
tory letter from e. S. Estel, of the
state dairy board:
Waterloo, Feb. 16.-1n apprecia-
ton OF the efforts you have mani
tested we have made arrangements
to stop at your town with the Spec
ial Dairy Train. 1t is gratifying,
indeed, to learn of the interest that
the towns along the Illinois Central
road are taking, and I am sure that
your town which has been selected
among comparatively small num-
Der will give us large and enthus-
iastic crowd.
From our experience in operating
dairy trains we find that much can
be done by the town itself in secur-
ing a large attendance. Here are
few suggestions: The merchants in
many Of the towns have organized
a special Dairy Day." They are
advertising special sales on certain
commodities which are attractive to
the farmer and his family. The
newspapers are taking up the work
and are announcing the train in ev-
cry issue of their paper. The Com
mercial Clubs are assisting the 10
cal papers as much as they can in
spreading the news Of this educa-
tional feature.
Since my previous letter Professor
Van Pelt has succeeded in greatly
increasing the equipment Of the
train. Besides the regular lecture
coaches which have been carried on
previous specials, we have added a
lecture coach for women and one for
children. These will be equipped
with apparatus Of various kinds and
lectures will be given which will be
helpful as well as interesting. No
doubt suggestion from you would
induce your superintendent Of both
town and surrounding country
schools to bring the scholars to the
train during our stay in your town,
and / am sure that they will profit
by this movement.
am sending you under separate
cover a number of small posters as
we'll as some large placards which !
trust you will post in conspicuous
places about your town. Kindly
write me as soon as the posters ar
rive so that may have a check on
the towns receiving them.
Assuring you that this dairy
train will be the big event of the
winter, and thanking you for the in
terest you have manifested in this
proposition, am,
Very truly yours,
e. s. Estel,
Asst State Dairy Expert.
