Demanding a Change.

Sioux City. Iowa.-Since it was
announced that the liquor interests
may circulate a new petition of con-
sent in Woodbury. county after the
November election, sentiment for the
secret ballot to determine option
matters in a county has been grow
ing rapidly.
Woodbury. county, except for
Sioux City, has been dry" for more
than a year. This condition, OF
course, is satisfactory to the tenn
perance people, but they are not in
clined to welcome the circulation of
another petition because of the end
less strife that it will stir up.
Regardless of opinions on the
liquor traffic there is feeling in
this section of the state that the
ballot should supersede the petition;
that the latter has caused more dis
sension than any other one thing.
1t was with considerable gratitica-
ton to those interested that many
of the leading temperance clergy
men of the state recently announced
themselves in favor of the ballot

tons, and the plan which should be
used to decide the liquor question

Automobile Accident.

AS r. E. Fisher and wife, and DR..
D. R. Dudley and wife of Mt Ayr
were returning home Sunday night
in Mr.. Fishers car they ran into the
broken culvert just one mile north
of Lamont near the Geo. V. Brown
place and came very near having a
severe accident, but fortunately no
one was badly hurt.
The front axle on the car was
bent, wind shield broken and some
other minor breaks so that it would
not run. G. H. Derry hauled the
car to his garage and took the party
in his car to Mt. Ayr.
The place where the accident oc-
Cured is certainly bad one and a
red light has been kept burning
there to warn people away from it,
but the light must not have been
burning then or the people did not
see it.
Just how the car could get into
this place without killing or serious
ly injuring the occupants is mys-
terry and we hope that the trustees
will have it fixed before some one
gets killed.--Lamoni Chronicle.

Decatur County Improved Stock
Breeders Association.

The Decatur County Improved
Stock Breeders Association held a
very interesting meeting in the Com
mercial Club room Saturday Sept.
7th, with a good attendance of both
members and visitors.
The subject, Preparing the Seed
bed and Growing Winter Wheat" by
w. H. Hazlet was very interesting
to every one growing winter wheat.
The best place to grow maximum
crop of winter wheat was clover
stubble plowed and planted to corn,
get the corn crop into the silo or
shock as early as possible, disc the
stubble to level the corn rows and
drill in the seed pecks to the acre.
The cultivation of the corn crop
made an ideal seed-bed for wheat
with little expense for labor. The
plan of blowing oats stubble for
wheat, blowing should be done early
the ground thoroughly worked down
to a dust mulch to conserve the
moisture. The proper time for seed
ing is between Sept. 20 and Oct. 10,
earlier than Sept. 20 is liable to at
tack by Hessian fly, after the latter
date it will not be sufficiently strong
to stand the winter. Use the best
home grown seed, that is producing
the largest yield in your own COM
munity. The kind known as Turkey
Red is generally thought to be the
best for Decatur county. Several
that had sown a smooth variety OF
wheat called Fultze, figured their
loss at one-third to one-half on ac-
count of it's being affected by rust
Winter wheat is one of the most
profitable crops to grow, that with
thorough preparation of seed-bed
and good seed adapted to this county
we ought to grow as many bushels
of wheat per acre as oats, while the
price of wheat is from twice to
three times as much. The subject
for discussion at the next meeting
will be How to Keep Live Stock
Free from Lice" NJ. G. FreestOne
and DR.. Hume will lead the discus
sion. The association will hold the
next meeting on Saturday Dec. Z in

have had two slight freezes, one last
night, but did not kill the grain. We
have been praying that it will keep
away till after the grain ripens. We
did not get our grain in early last
