IOWA'S CANDIDATE.
I.Sio,Iy Civ Tribune 1 :

Senator Cummins' candidacy for
president should meet with a prompt
response from ali patriotic and loyal
republicans of Iowa. 1t affords an OPP
portunity to secure for the most dis
tinguished living Iowan the highest Of
flee within the gift of the people Of the
United States, and none will deny that
the honor, if bestowed upon Senator
Cummins, will be bestowed upon one
we'll equipped by ability, tempera ment
and high character TO fill the position.
The cry will ne raised, OF course. that
the Cummins candidacy is designed
merely to prevent President Taft from
securing the Iowa delegation. and that
such Is its sole purpose. This is not
true. 1t seems unthinkable that Presi-
dent Taft could get the Iowa delega-
ton under any circumstances, because
his republicanisIn and the republican,
ism Of Iowa are utterly at variance.
Moreover, the uncertainty surrounding
the action of the republican national
convention makes it entirely possible
that Senator Cumnins may be ulti-
matey selected as the party standard
bearer. Ii any event, he should and
undoubtedly will receive the support of
his home state.
Many years ago Albert B. Cummins
started out to purge Iowa of railroad
and corporation rule. He began the
fight almost alone. Every influential
politician, every powerful political
combination and all the little fellows,
the Hessians of politics, We're against
him. After a battle almost unparal
leled in American history he succeeded
in wrestling the state from the evil in
fluences which dominated its public af-
fairs, and brought it to the front rank
among those states which are noted
for their freedom from control by privi-
lege and special interests.
The publication Of Iowa politics and
the freedom from corporate control
which the state now enjoys is due TO
the fight Cummins began, practically
without help and without friends. At
the close of the long struggle he was
rewarded with a United States sena-
torship, capacity in which he has re-
hected credit on the state and won
honor for himself. At Washington to-
day he stands high among his col
lea CUES in the senate, and his ability,
character and high quality Of states
nanship are universally recognized.
If the next nominee of the republic
cans for president is to be progressive
none is more worthy of the honor than
Cummins. He has won his spurs. The
record Of his achievements for the peo-
pie OF Iowa is written indelibly in the
history Of the state, and. when after
much persuasion and careful consider
alton, he has been induced to aspire
to higher honors, Iowa will honor her
self by giving him unanimous and loyal

commissionership by a primary the
counties are to all intents and pur-
poses now under commission gov
eminent. No city commission has
wider powers than the present board
of supervisors. So far as business
administration of county affairs is
concerned the opportunity is as great
under the board of supervisors as I'M
der the commission plan. One of the
serious differences is the salary ques-
ton. The supervisors do not devote
all their time or a Larger part Of it to
their duties and are paid a per diem
and mileage instead of a stated annual
salary.
Would we get better men as super
visors under a commission plan than
under the present system? The county
supervisor averages UP well with other
elective county officials man for man
under the present system. 1t is no.;
likely that better men would be select
ed in another system of picking coun-
" boards. It is likely that board
sitting permanently and constantly
could and would pay more particular
attention to county business and give
more careful personal supervision to
public works. But commission as
representative as present boards would
demand salaries equal to those now
paid county clerks and auditors. An
other contingency which would he

city men as against the probable diff

Til. s..d Corn Situation.

The autumn of 1911 has been very
severe on seed corn, which may re-
suit in destroying its termination
where special care has not been exer-
cised in curing and storing the same.
The writer has learned IF q number
OF instances where farmers who stored
their seed corn in warm rooms, now
find it badly nodded, the cob partially
decayed and the termination badly
injured, or perhaps ruined.
In other instances. the supply Of
seed corn was gathered late and while
stin green and sappy was allowed to
freeze and thaw during the process
Of curing, which is always detrimental
to strong termination. Severe cold
weather came to us in the northwest
unusually early this year. following
rains that had continued for weeks

Garden suo asstions.

Manure applied on the garden and
truck patches thru January and Feb
ruary will have time to decompose and
the fertility to soak into the soil be-
fore open garden weather.
Take advantage of spare time to
fence the garden chicken proof. 1t is a
vexation to plant seed in rich soil and
have the plants scratched out as fast
as they come up. Closely woven wire is
the best kind to use. Five feet Is none
too high for the garden fence. Hori-
Zontal wires with vertical stay wires Is
better than the common poultry net
ting The latter will not turn other
stock, and ii is difficult to make good
job over uneven ground.
The way to have a good lawn, good
shrubs and good flowers is to feed the
soil in which they grow. During Febu-
AIRY if the lawn is covered with a heavy
coating of stable manure the grass
plants will be protected and fed. Also,
the liquid fertilizers washed out by
rains will feed the soil for all plants
grown on the home grounds. This
manure may lie on the ground till
spring opens and grass begins to grow,
when the coarser portions may be

Points About Pigs.
Do not use oat straw for swine bed

In snowy weather change the bed
ding every day, since pigs carry a
great deal of snow into their sleeping

If there is any hint OF constipation

WILD cAT7INe MARSHALL COUNTY MONEY

Kansas has by a drastic statute at

stock is offered for sale to the people
of Kansas. II they are offered any

are urged to write this department

Kansas has gone about a needed
restriction upon the worthless stock
faker and the promoter who sells blue
sky. Her action should be initiated by
Iowa.
One of the prominent bankers of this
county estimates conservatively that
not less than $4,000 annually are sent
out of Marshall county as investments
in wild cat schemes. Gold mines in

grapevine character; rubber planta :

promise double and treble and hundred
fold returns from. His estimate is
that this $50 900 is as utterly DESTROYED

There is no reason why they should not

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

While believing that Taft should be
nominated, the Iowa City Republican
recognizes the necessity of state utility
il the state is TO have national recog-
milton. At present" it says, Senator
Cummins is the foremost Iowa republi-
can and is better known the nation
over than any other citizen OF the state.
And while men do not agree with him,
they admit his ability and standing,
and as an Iowa proposition, it will be
no discredit to the state or to the re-
publican party of Iowa to present him
to the national convention as a candi-
date"
"If Teddy is inoculated with the
progressive virus he should advance
and give the countersign," insists the
Vinton Eagle.
The Mason City Times says "if the
mudslingers don't stop their work be-
fore long they will attract enough at
tention to Holden to insure his serious
consideration by Iowa voters"
The Cedar Rapids Gazette says
there are politicians in Iowa, who, II
may be believed. gritted their teeth
very, very hard, when they read Sena-
tor Cummins' announcement. The

Electric Lights.

The cost of installing electric lights
on a farm. including outbuildings. is
estimated as $3.50. The engine needs
20 be operated only about eight hours
every week. There is no danger from
handling the live wires Of such a home
plant, since the voltage seldom exceeds
80, and with good wire there Is little
danger from fire. Many farmers have
begun to install electric plants Of this
kind. Electric lights in the barn are
particularly desirable in the winter
months, when it gets dark early.
