FARM SANITATION.

One writer mentions that sanitary
measures were unknown when the
older generation Of farmers broke
the virgin sod or cleared the timber,
and that the farmers of those days
have grown to old age observing
standards of living Of their own max
ing, naturally not appreciating the
need Of adopting modern-day meth
DDS, says the Dubuque Times-Jour-
nal.
If that is true, it should not be
overlooked that their sons and
daughters coming home from school
and college are bringing back ideas
with them and under the stimulus
OF their activity the farm is chang
ing for the better. 1t is becoming
more sanitary. Added length Of
days will result from adoption of
sanitary measures, and there will be
saved to lives of usefulness as re-
suit OF them many lives that other
wise might be~ the penalty OF bad
sanitation. AS to the future. then,
the farmers not only will live long,
4r. but the mortality rate will cor
respondingly decrease.
There never was time when the
farmers were such general readers
a. they are now. Many OF them, I'M
cluding the older ones, understand
sanitation better than the average
resident of cities. 1t Is often diff
cult in the cities to get residents to
grasp the idea as they should grasp

"THE SHEPHERD OF THE HILLS
Dramatizati0n of Harold b. Wright's
Novel Said to be Even More
Interesting Than the
Book.

The success of Harold B. Wright's
novel, 'The Shepherd of the Hills"
made into a play by its author in
collaboration with Fishery w. Reyn-
oldg, is proving just as big on the
stage as in book form it does in the
book stores.
The story of the play is based on
q somewhat dramatic plot of mys-
terry. An unknown comes into the
Ozark mountains and because of his
clerical bearing and readiness to Of
ficiate for the regular pastor of the
mountaineers, q portion of his dis
guise is penetrated. The mountain
eers who live so much to themselves
are willing to let the man live the
life OF partial recluse. He makes
friends with one family and volun-
teers for the place of shepherd. In
this guise he attempts to expiate the
wrong doing Of his son who several
years previously had come into the
mountains and wronged one OF the
young women. Her father has vowed
deadly vengeance on the betrayal Of
his daughter. but he has disappeared
leaving no traces of his whereabouts.
1t Ia generally supposed that he is
dead. The good shepherd wins the
love and respect of the mountain
eers, though at one time his life is
endangered by lawless band Of
mountaineers who suspect he is a
revenue officer.
There are many dramatic episodes
In the play, but it's strength lies in
the unfolding and development of its
characters. The shepherd is most
impressive figure, mentally and phys
tcally. The young woman who is the
heroine of the story is untrammelled
by the conventions of the town and
has good red blood in her veins.
Win the aid Of the shepherd she
,p0lishes her mind so that she be-
comes a young woman of culture
and refinement. Then there is the
young mountaineer whose love is
honest and sincere and who downs
the champion bully and strong man
Of the mountains in marvellous con-
test of strength and endurance.
Then there is the uncanny youth who
wanders like will-o'-the-wisp across
the mountains and is the means of
finally bringing happiness to the
shepherd and restoring the good
1lams of the mountaineer's family.
& There is much atmosphere" of
the hills pervading the play. And
in making the production, Messrs.
Gaskill and MacVitty, the producers.
1t is said, have supplied some beau
tiful and realistic stage piceures.

for once. 1t was almost worth the
candle. The old moss-backs who
had hardly moved in their she'll
politically for twenty years,
cheered and yelled and kicked and
jumped with joy unrestrained until
even the poor Bull Moosers had to
jolly up and join in the fun. 1t was
great. 1t was democracy's hour, and
they grabbed it..
In the county the democrats have
been successful in winning the sher-
ifs office, after contesting bitterly
for it for a good many campaigns.
The fight made on Sheriff Qualley
succeeded in turning the tide against
him, and Flemming wins by good
majority. Rest assured it will not
be contested, and we congratulate
Mr.. Flemming upon his victory.
The auditors Office will remain in
the hands of the democrats, Will
Shea winning by large majority
over N. N. Quandahl. During his
services as deputy he has been eff
cient and courteous in his actions
and gained many friends among re-
|publicans and democrats alike and
the result shows that they voted for
him.
Allen Wise, the democratic county
recorder wins reelection by large
vote. He is generally popular, has
madesa good officer, and his oppon-
ent. Mr.. Ramsay, did not feel like
making strong campaign against
him. and devoted little time to cam
paigning.
c. n. Houck wins the county at
torneyship for the republicans over
IT. r. Goheen, the democratic nom
inee, while l.. Nj. Enger is reelected
representative by a good plurality
over Fred Brown, the democratic
nominee. Jorgenson, treasurer; Kali
levang, clerk; Miller, superintendent
and Jewell, coroner, were elected to
their respective offices without oppo-
sition.
On Congressman exact returns
cannot yet be secured, but G.. n.
Haugen is reelected by majority
of probably 1900 to 5000 over G..
A. Meyer of Calmar. Howard gives
him $50 plurality. Allamakee $50,
Fayette 700, and Winneshiek 366.
Judge w. J.. Springer is elected
Judge over D. j. Murphy, which
promised to be close fight. Chick
asaw gives Springer about 700 plur-
ality, Howard 200, Fayette 800 and
Winneshiek 676, while Allamakee
gives Murphy plurality of 400 and
Clayton 500.
The national House of Represen-
itatives will stand 277 to 14S in favor
of the democrats, and it now looks
like they had also won control of
the Senate.

mittees and the county auditor to
unite all forces In receiving returns
at the Grand opera house. A special
telegraph wire and special long
distance telephone were placed in
the theatre, and all returns We're con-

Ulen, operating the stereOpticon,
threw the returns on large can
vas as they were received, and be-
tween times entertained the large
crowd that gathered there with NOV
ing pictures and views of various
kinds. 1t was the best arrangement

body who desired learned all the
news that came over the wire or
telephone, had good seat, and the
democrats all had whoopin' good
time. The Decorah Merchants Band

delighted the crowd with concert
for an hour, and male quartettes
also gave zest to the occasion. The
receipts were not enough to pay the
expenses, but the loss is gladly made
UP because of the excellent service
given.
Early returns began to come in
about seven o'clock, and by eight
O'Clock it was practically certain that
Wilson had swept the eastern states,
and would carry the country. AS
the night progressed, succeeding re-
turns confirmed the reports that he
would be the next president, through
sweeping democratic landslide.
New York, New Jersey. Ohio, swung
into line, and with them the most of
the eastern states and the solid
south. 1t was Wilson, Wilson, Will
son everywhere, and it was really
good to see the democrats jolly up

Now that it is all over, we venture,
to remind the Decorah Republican
that the nation has just been passing
through a presidential campaign, the
greatest political turmoil since the
war; and alike to ask the venerable
nestor of republican journalism in
northern Iowa since war times, whom
it supported for president. Was it
Taft. was it Roosevelt, was it Will
son? AS sample of political side
stepping we have never seen it's
equal.

CUP ABOLISHED EvERYWHERE.
Secretary of Treasury Makes Sweep
ing Order Effecting All
Railroads.

Secretary of the Treasury Mac
veagh with one swoop abolished the
time honored public drinking cup
from railway cars, vessels and other
conveyances operated in interstate
traffic and from depots and waiting
rooms of common carriers.
This sweeping order against ANY
drinking cup, glass or vessel for COM
mon use,' effective Immediately, is
in the interest OF the nations health,
and was the direct result of an in
vestigation by the United States pub
lie health service-a branch of the
treasury department-which holds
that the drinking cup is menace as
carrier of disease.
A drinking cup, it is said, may
contain thousands of bacteria from
disease infected persons.
Mr.. MacVeagh's action constituted
an amendment to the interstate quar-
antine regulations. Sherman Allen,
assistant secretary of the treasury,
stirred by the revelations of the pub
lie health service and the fact that
twenty-six states already have laws
forbidding the use of the common
drinking cup, recommended the move
to Mr.. MacVeagh and was sustained
by the solicitor of the treasury de-
partment as to the secretary's legal
power to make the order.
Treasury officials recommend that
the traveller equip himself with col
lapsible drinking cup.
Common carriers may now provide
drinking cups only in case they are
thoroughly cleansed by washing in
boiling water after each individual.

Des Moines, Iowa, 1880 p. m.
Public Opinion:
Wilson carries country with big
vote, winning nearly all of the east
ern states and the solid south. Re-
turns from western states very slow
in coming in, but Wilson is running
strong. The democrats gain two
United States Senators. 1t looks
now as if Wilson would carry Iowa,
which has been conceded to Roose-
velt up to this time. Arizona, Idaho,
New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and
South Dakota are still doubtful, but
Wilson's election is assured in any
event. All Iowa republican con-
gressmen were reelected with the
exception of the sixth district, where
Kirkpatrick, democrat. wins.

PROPOSED WoRkMEN'S CoMPEN.
sATiON ACT FOR
OREGON

The Commission appointed by Gov
ernor West to draft Workmens
Compensation act has submitted to
the Governor the bill on the sub
ject and by him 1t will be referred
to the Legislature, with the recon-
mendation that 1t take favorable ac-
tion upon the measure.
The bill Is patterned for the most
part after the WOrkmen'S COmpen-
sation Act Of the State Of Washing
ton, and provides for an Industrial
Commission Of three to administer
1t. The bill is elective, It being pro-
yided that employers engaged IN
non-hazardous industries will not
come under Its provisions unless
they serve notice on the Commits
sion that they desire TO operate un-
der 1t, and further providing that
employers engaged In hazardous In
dustries will be considered az OPP
Grating under 1t, unless they serve
notice to the contrary to the Com
mission. A necessary fund Is Great
ed by levying ON thu workingman
an assessment of one-half of per
cent on wages paid them: by the
state contributing like amount
and by employers contributing per
cent OF the payroll Of the work
ingmen.
Unlike most compensation acts, the
bill provides for permanent pen
sion of SIS a month to any work
ingman who Is permanently disabled,
or to his widow II he is killed. In
addition to this Sc mouth II pro-
vided for the widow for each child
under 16 years until the sum OF $40
month Is reached. Another redeem
ing feature claimed for the bill is
that It provides for loans for those
who have been permanently intur-
ed, in order that they may engage
in some business and become self
supporting, the money loaned being
deducted from pensions paid. Pay
ments under the measure are gener-
ally about rs per cent higher than
those under the Washington law.

demonstration farms, and the National
Corn Exposition. As head OF the ex.
tension department Of Iowa State Col
lege of Agriculture he did work
which, Senator Cummins says, up to
the present time has increased the
wealth of Iowa 100000, 900.
The object OF the Fl G Service Blu.
reau is the promotion of agricultural
education, and a cooperation which
will tend to raise the whole tone of
commercial industrial and farm life
Since agriculture is the basis Of pros
perity and progress, naturally farm
problems claim first attention. The aim
is higher efficiency, both on and off
the farm.
To do big work big organization
is necessary Not only the bigness,
but the perfection Of the international
organization as well appealed to Pro-
lessor Holden. The big general agen-
cies, scattered all over the United
States and Canada; the statesmen,
travellers and expert machine men;
the 10000 dealers--every one, so far
as possible, is to be made an apostle
of better farming.
For years the International Har-
vester Company has realized the i'm.
portance Of service. 1t has spent mil
lions of dollars in the perfection of la
bor-saving machines, and now the
company is going In for direct service
direct to the farmers, and direct to
the farmers children, that the men
and women of tomorrow may be more
capable and so more prosperous than
the men and women of today.
1t is no longer theory that II we
are to get the most out Of life we
must raise more per acre. "Inten-
sive farming" is in the air. 1t is the
battle cry OF peace and plenty. But
raising more is the result Of mind,
not muscle. We must know. And
not only that, we must know we
know, and know why we know. We
must know good seed from bad, right
cultivation from wrong, and the why's
and wherefors OF climates, soils,
fruits, cattle, horses, poultry. and SO
forth.
For these things the bureau was
established. But the bureau and
Professor Holden see more than an
average increase Of few bushels.
They see time coming when farmers
will raise twice as many bushels OF
corn, wheat and oats to the acre,
and like yields of all other kinds Of
farm products. They see time when
farmers and farmers wives and their
children will think more and work
less. Every bushel raised means Just
that much profit, and the profits Of
the farm promote commerce and In.
dustry.
After period Of good work In Mich
igan agricultural college, better work
at Illinois, and great work at Iowa,
Professor Holden now enters upon q
worlds work. While in future Pro.
lessor Holden will designate Chicago
as home, he says he is not leaving Iowa
he is merely carrying Iowa to the
rest Of the world.
