MISLEADING ARGUMENT.

Mr.. Hubbsrd's efforts TO have his
hearers believe that Mr.. Taft's nearly
three hundred delegates aIres Az 60
cured come from states which are
hopelessly Democratic was misleading
because he included In his list several
states which happened to- have Dem
ocrauc governors. certainly without
iault to Mr.. Taft. In New York FOR
instance. the Republican nominee was
selected by Colonel Roosevelt. and the
hsht was largely made on him with

you and to all OF us upon the likelihood
that We shall soon have closer reciprocal
ARR ana trade relations with the great
nation 10 the north OF us" CApplauAe)
AT the Lincoln day dinner in New
York, on February 10. 1911, he said:
= am pleased to say how glad
am at the way In which the members
OF the club here tonight responded TO
the two appeals made TO them 20 uphold
the hands OF President Taft both in his
ettoTt 20 secure reciprocity with Canada
and In his effort 20 secure the fortified
ton OF the Panama Canal
And In addition 20 what has been said
ABOUT reciprocity with canada would
IKE 10 make this point: IL should ALWAYS
be cardinal point in our foreign policy
10 establish the closest and most friend
relations OF equal respect and sdvan-
tase with our great neighbor on the
north. And l hail the reciprocity ar
idngement because IL represents an ef-
TORI TO bring about a closer. a most init
matt. more friendly relationship OF
mutual advantage on equal terms be-
tween Canada and the United States"
And at Sioux City. Iowa, on Septem.
Der 10, 1910, he said:
There il another feature OF the tariff
law. and IL points our course in the right
direction. the maximum an minimum
provision, and here again l wish to point
our that the value OF the provision has
depended largely upon the excellent work
done by the administration in the nexo-
uations with the Dominion Of Canada
which we're the most difficult OF Ali snd
YET IN my eyes the most important be-
cause ! esteem ~ Of vital CONSEQUENCE
mat we should always he on relations OF
the highest friendship and good will WITH
our great and growing neighbor in the
north"
Thus the candidate. whose friends
have made most OF the alleged agri
cultural opposition to the Canadian
reciprocity treaty. is three times or
record in favor Of that treaty. What
consistency can there be in the oppo
sition to VIM. n. Taft on account OF
the Canadian reciprocity treaty. which
at the same time turns to the support
OF Col Roosevelt?

CONDITIONS FOR
CROPS IDEAL
TEMPERATURE ABOUT NORMAL,
SHOWERS OVER NEARLY
ALL PARTS OF STATE

Des Moines, July 3O.-For the week
ending July %, 1912:
The conditions during the past
week were almost ideal for growing
crops. and for haying, harvesting and
thrashing. The temperature was
about normal, and while the rainfall
was generally deficient, nearly all
parts of the state received light to
copious showers. Some localities in
the southern districts, however, need
rain badly for corn, potatoes and pas
lures, but for the state as whole all
crops are in excellent condition. Hay
ing is nearly finished, and the crop
has been put up in fine shape. The
yield of hay is better than anticipated
and the quality is extra good. The
small grain harvest has progressed
rapidly, and the bluk of it will be
completed by the end Of the coming
week. Early reports show some ex-
ceptionally large yields and fine quail
ity of grain. The yield of winter
wheat ranges from twenty-five to fifty
bushels per acre; oats thirty to sixty
flee and barley, twenty-five to thirty
bushels. No timothy has yet been
thrashed, but large acreage has
been cut for seed Corn has made
rapid growth, and the early fields are
shooting nicely, but the crop as
whole IL not yet quite up to the nor

AUGUST 1925

Fairfield, July 30-The Free Meth
odist churches in the Fairfield district
are preparing for their annual camp
meeting which is to be held In Eldon
beginning August Is and closing ten
days later. This will be the second an
nual meeting of this district to be held
on the Big Four fair grounds in Eldon
and already the members Of the
churches are beginning to make pre-
parations to attend at least a few ses-
sions of this big meeting.
Rev. c. w. Stamp, general confer
ence evangelist and Rev. J. w. White
side of washington Springs, S. D.. will
conduct the meetings and they will be
assisted by the district elders and pas
tors. Rev. Louis Mendenhall and Rev.

planning to attend the entire ten days.
Several families expect to camp on
the grounds during the meetings and
there is every indication that almost
all of the members of the local church
will attend the meetings either for a
day or for several days. The people of
Eldon are excellent hosts to this gath
ering and 1t likely that the camp meet
ing will become permanently fixed in

CAWLEY AGAINST
Z ONE DOLLAR

"The one dollar consideration
shown in the majority Of deeds filed
for record is foolish practice and
should be prohibited by law" declared
County Recorder l.. E. Cawley today.
Just now it is entirely legal but it
| is wrong and reflects much discredit
on the showing Of Wapello county
Real estate men should endeavor to
change public option on this matter
and lead clients into the feeling that
they should show the full and fair con-
sideration for their property, in all
Deeds"
AS all know, who are familiar with
property instruments, many deeds give
81 and other considerations is Of
price Of sale. Recorder Cawley as.
serts that it is pretty much of force
of habit to insert those words than the
figures showing the full amount of the
transaction.
Many people have no serious
objection to recording the amount in
the deed" says Mr.. Cawley. They
perhaps may entertain some minute
feeling for privacy but when it comes
to question, they would just as soon
have the consideration mentioned as
not. OF course there are times when
Isl and other considerations is of
value but the instances when it is not
of value overbalance all argument in
favor of the clause. 1t is surprising
the number Of deeds that are recorded
in my Office that do not show the ex-
act consideration.
THE greatest objection to the
one dollar is the discredit it brings
to the county. The statistics on land
sales made are practically worthless
because of the hundreds OF deeds
showing no consideration. These fig
ures go out over the country and place
Wapello county in a bad light, as well
will readily see. Such reports as we
now make cut, are deceiving and
public harm. Some people think that
taxes on their property are levied and
the amount Of consideration shown in
deeds. This is not true, for the as
SCISSORS place their own values. Very
little is to be gained by the one dol
lar method 1t is great detriment
to the county. But few deeds are pub
lished in the PAPERS and but few peo-

want to take any chances Becker
was evidently telling Rose that he
Becker, could even square Dougherty
which are lies so far as know or am
concerned
When the Investigation is finished
it will be found that never had any
relations with Becker. Every one
within or outside the police depart
ment knows I have positively nothing
to do with gambling
Taking UP his part in the pursuit of
the murderers, Dougherty said it was
he who directed the arrest Of Shapiro
and Libby, whose gray automobile"
has figured so prominently in the
case and that it was he who learned
from Shapiro that 1t was Rose who
hired the car, and that he, Dougherty
was the first to learn that WALTON and
Scheppe rode in the car with Rose
to "Bridgie'' Webber's place.
Continuing the deputy commission
er said:
Councillor Sullivan, District Attor-
ney Whitman, Inspector Hughes and
myself had conferences about Rose
making statement. I brought out
Aaron j. Levy, an agreement
to have Shapiro testify, but told Mr..
Whitman that the first man to con-
TESS, in my opinion, would be Rose.
II secured the first discriminating
statement from every one Of the pris-
oners and It was on my evidence that
they were all held. Didn't they have
me on the stand all day?

district attorney day in and day out.

Confning himself strictly to the
relating Of facts about the state OF
Iowa, Fred Tennyson won the Wa
pello county contest for free visitation
to the Iowa state fair. In his essay
he has taken up Iowa's advantages and
resources in a concise maner and has
also given some of the states history,
Following is the excellent essay:
Iowa is one of the most prosperous
states Of the central part of the United
States. 1t is bounded on the north by
Minnesota, south by Missouri east by
Illinois and Wisconsin, and west by
South Dakota and Nebraska. The
area of the state is around 5000
square miles. 1t is but tribe smaller
than England and Wales together.
"The surface of the state may be
called an undulate prairie. The aver
age elevation is about eleven hundred
feet. In northern Iowa the plains are
broken by occasional hills and bould-
ers, which rise above the general sur
face, and add greatly to the grandeur
of the state.
"The state is drained by the Des
Moines river and its branches. In the
northern part OF the state the lakes
furnish much drainage besides aiding
the state In bringing summer tourists.
.'The climate Of the state IL cool and
temperate. Although in some parts
Of the state we have some very warm
days in July and August and vice
versa In December and January, these
kind OF days aren't so very numerous,
and together with the dark heavy drift
loan Of wonderful and seemingly In
exhaustible fertility make Iowa very
prosperous in the agricultural line,
for this state has the smallest amount
Of unproductive land of any state IN
the union. About nine-tenths OF the
soil il adapted to agriculture.
"The resources consist chiefly OF
minerals, vegetation, and animals.
The mining of coal is the leading
mineral found in the state. Coal Is
mined in at least thirty counties In the
southern part Of the state. Clay, lead,
gypsum, limestone. and boulders are
mined less abundantly In different
parts OF the state. You may find
vegetation Of almost all kinds In Iowa.
The trees, such as elm, hickory, maple.
butternut, poplar, cottonwood, box
elder, black walnut and several kinds
of oak, besides great variety Of fruit
trees. There are also many kinds Of
grasses and wild flowers. while OF
course the tame flowers are plentiful.
iowa has both wild and domestic
animals. The wild animals are, wild
cat, raccoon, wood chuck, mink, otter,
gopher, gray squirrel, rab-
bit, and jack rabbit. The domestic |
animals such as horse and cows are
