A Wise DairYman.

G. R. Larson who lives in Oak Dale,
is the prize patron of the Leroy cream
cry, his check running from $3.50 to
$500 per month the year around. The
uniformity of the checks shows the
most excellent management on his part
and he attributes it to. his practice of
keeping a fresh lot of cows on hand all
the time, instead of having them come
fresh at certain seasons of the year,
as most dairyman do. Mr.. L. also
tests his cows, following in the steps
of his neighbor, Johannes Jensen, and
he says that enables him to know at
once when a COW becomes Improbable.
He pays particular attention to the
feeding also; and being particular in
these three departments is fast max
ing him one the most successful dairy
men in this section. AS by-product,
he sold a bunch Of calves the first of
week which brought him about $50
each. In connection with mention of
Mr.. Larson's COW testing, we might
append the following from the Adams
Review which shows what the farmers
up that way are doing along.that line.
a movement which might be taken up
with profit among our farmers:|
The Adams COW testing association
has made an agreement with A. E.
Wombach of Springfield, Mo-, to act az
their tester and he arrived here last
Thursday to take up his duties. The
local association now has twenty-five
members, and Mr.. Womback will de.
vote one day of each month to the herd
belonging to each member, and has al
ready commenced work. Good results
from "better farming" standpoint,
is expected.-Le Roy independent.

Pigeonholed Principle.

In California, alone of all the states,
the progressive party has control of
public Affairs. Her governor is that
party's late unanimous choice tor vice
president. Governor Hiram Johnson
has perfected party organization that
is able to put into active operation any
progressive policy that a state can
make effective. The legislature is
made up of professed progressives, so
that both the executive and legislative
branches of the state government are
absolutely in control of the progress
-sives.
Yet, the administration and legisla-
ture turns its back upon one of the
cardinal policies of progressivism, a
proposal that was part of the national
platform. We refer to the Tyrell bill
which provides that contempt of court
committed elsewhere than in the pres
ence of the Judge must be tried by
jury. j..
1t would be superfuous to enter into
any argument, at this period of the
merits of this principle. Suffice it to
say that the present practice of courts
has been of the greatest detriment to
the procurement of justice for men as
against dollars and a. vicious obstacle
to the exercise of the rights of free
speech and a free press.
The progressive legislature of Cali
fornia has pigeonholed the Tyrell bill,
and the notorious courts of California
remain in full possession of their AFRO.
grant power to inflict wrong, when
ever the acid rises to the surface in
their judicial temperament.
We have no hesitation in saying that
Gov. Johnson and his legislature stult::-
fly all progressive causes by this ac-
ton. The progressive party cannot
live on empty promises because it is a
party of people who are sick of empty
promises, and demand positive per-
formances.-Des Moines News.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The ball game Friday noon was
the real Waterloo of the Luther
college "preps" as hey have never
before met defeat at the hands Of
a high school team.
The Cresco boys played an excel
lent game with the exception of tle
sixth inning, when Luther gained
leard. Cresco responded with a
ninth inning rally. With Davis on
third and Donegan on second and
the score to Z in favor of Luther
Carman lined out two-bagger
and came in a little later on Gull
ver's sharp rap to second.
The Luther boys seem to be ig-
norant of the fine points of he
game.
Those who deserve honorable
mention because of thier brilliant
feats in handling the sphere are
Hamilton with his home run, Nc
Vety's brilliant catches in the
right garden Davis for his heavy
hitting, and Kakac who was put in
for a pinch hitter and struck out.
Patterson pitched a star game
and Luther should only have had
two scores which were really earn
ed. Our team as whole showed
marked improvement in batting an /
we hope that when the season ends
they will have first class aggre-
cation of which c. H. S. should
be proud.
This makes four games played
by Cresco with a record of won
and 1 lost at Harmony which ex-
tended into II innings and the final
being 5 to4 in favor of Harmony.
Cresco goes to DEBORAH next Fri
day and hopes to return with more
than a hole in doughnut. CIV.

such tactics.
According to Mark Sullivan in COL
lier's Weekly, the Florida Citrus Ex-
change has sent telegram to Sem
ator Nathan P. Bryan urging him to
CONSULT with the Senators from other
states in forming an alliance whereby
the present tariff might be retained on
oranges, grape fruit, etc.
The Florida Citrus Exchange stated
to Senator Bryan that the Louisiana
Senators were ready and willing to
vote tariff on oranges if he would
vote tariff on sugar.
That this same plan is being present.
ed by the Special Inter ests in the diff
ferent states is assured by the letters
both the Congressman and Senators
have received from their respective
constituents. The plan is feesable and
under the leadership of Aldrich worked
like charm but at this time it is
doomed to meet it's Waterloo.
Nathan P. Bryan the Florida Senator
is to be complimented. upon the noble
stand he took in the matter. Instead
of consulting secretly with the Sens-
tors from other states as was the Gus
tom under Republican rule, he wrote
the Florida Citrus Exchange in part
as follows:
''Florada is Democratic and has en-
dorsed the Democratic tariff. We
ought not to be willing to apply a
principle of government to industries
or sections and refuse to be bound by
it ourselves
Senator Bryan further stated in his
letter that such alliance ss sugg ested
would be unfair and unjust. That he
was confronted with the argument pri-
or to his election. That he was elected
on democratic platform and closed
his letter by saying:
civil not vote for protective tariff
on anything, wherever grown, man.
ufactured or produced. If I should do
that, would not be democrat, but q
Republican instead"
1t takes nerve to tell the monied peo-
pie that you propose to abide by your
party's platform, that you do not pro.
pose to follow the leadership of the
special interests, but that you will
stand by your people.
But it is such men as Nathan P.
Bryan. Senators Kern, Stone, Reed,
Lee. James and others that dare to
show their honesty of purpose that
make up the character of the Demo-
cratic party.

/ 200 Pieces of Colored Wood Used
in Iowa Map.

The Masonic library is showing q
unique map of Iowa. 1t is made of in
laid wood consisting Of about 1900
pieces, and was made by David Millar,
of Bows. 1t is a historical map and
has various designs showing historical
events. Various colored woods are
used to show the color OF the soil in
the different parts of the state. An
interesting feature in this connection
are two long strips IN birdseye maple,
one extending from the state line in
Dickinson County to the south line in
Guthrie County, and the other from
Winnebago and Worth Counties to the
south line of Marshall County, rep
lesenting the rock and gravel of a
moraine, left there from glacier
which came down from the north in
some pre-historical time.
An interesting place in Masonic
history is Burlington in which place
was organized the first Masonic lodge,
also the l. o. O. F. and the Elks.
These organizations are automatically
represented in the designation of that
city. The Organization cities of many
other organizations are also noted, such
as the G. A. R. in Davenport; X. of P.
and W. C. T. U. in Cedar Rapids; M.
W. A. in Lyons; R. N. in Council Bluffs;
Pythian Sisters in Eldon; Daughters of
the Rebekah in Bloomfield; Eastern
Star in Iowa City; and others. A cradle
in the lower corner of Lee County
shows the place of birth of the first
white child in the state, log cabin
where the first brick school house was
built and an apple where the first or
chard was planted.
The principal rivers of the state are
also represented. The Missouri river
is represented by an inlay of lockwood,
the Big Sioux with mulberry, and the
Mississippi, Des Moines, Iowa and
Wapsipinicon with inlay of lemonwood.
Small hollow circles show the early
forts in the state and ebony spheres
pictures the places where coal is mined.
A small figure in Des Moines County
shows thellocation of Zion church, the
first brick church built in the territory
and the first capitol. A flag shows the
Old Soldiers Home in Marshalltown
and three links picture the l. O. O. F.
Old Folks Home at Mason City. The
state institutions and many other
designations are made. The map rep
resents much work and ability on the
part of the maker and a deep knowledge
of historical conditions in the state
Cedar Rapids Gazette.

New Tax Ferret Law.

That the Iowa legislature passed
what is practically tax ferret law is
a surprise to the state and even ia
many of the legislators. The law was
recommended by the executive council
and more particularly by it's secretary,
A. H. Dawson. 1t was also given an
o. K. by the committee on retrench
rent and reform. In brief, the law as
passed gives the executive council full
power and authority to spend money,
hire help and otherwise do anything
that it seems proper to investigate
property values, and gather as board
of equalization to put taxation in the
state on an equitable basis.
Under.t the old tax ferret law which
was SO unpopular and which the legis-
lature repealed, counties were author
lied to employ ferrets to dig into the
tax records and see who was lodging
The difference between the old law and
the present one is that the state now
takes charge of the business. Under
i the new act which has been signed by
the governor the executive council may
employ any number of secret agents to
60 into any county in the state and
study taxation problems. These men
may look up the fellow who is lodging
taxes. They may ascertain whether
farms are taxed equitably and whether
railroads or corporations are lodging.
They report to the state executive
council and the council has power as a
board of equalization to put blanket
raise on taxes in any county where
there is any county where there is any
considerable amount of sequestered
roperty.
Under this act the executive council
has the power to get physical valua-
ton on railroad property for the pur-
pose of taxation.
The council is not even limited in its
funds, but may expend such parts of
any unapproprited funds in the state
treasury as are deemed necessary for
the work.-Decorah Republican.
