Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines, Nov. 13.-The county
accounting system has turned up
something unexpectedly having bear
ing on equal suffrage in Iowa. The
county examiners have struck a blow
at equality of the sexes in the matte.
of office holding in Iowa. 1t may have
far reaching effect.
At first 1t would appear to be hard
obstacle to the aspirations of women
to share with men in the privileges and
responsibilities of civil government
Reflection may show that it will help
rather than hinder the cause SO dear to
the hearts of many Iowa people.
The county examiners disc covered
that in some counties women are IL
legally holding office. For instance, one
county has female deputy clerk Of the
courts, another pays salaries to women
who are deputies in the offices of treas
urer and auditor. and so on. Now, a
deputy county official must of course
act in place Of the chief under certain
circumstances. therefore must have the
qualifications for the elective office.
Not Qualified Electors.
The Iowa supreme court years ago
held that an alien could not hold the
office Of sheriff, but that the elective
offices-unless it is otherwise provided
in the code-must be filled not alone
by those who are citizens, but by those
who are qualified electors. Women are
not qualified electors in Iowa Hence
women can not hold any elective coun-
~ offices except recorder and super
intendent of schools, which are es-
pecially provided for by statute; nelth-
er can they be deputies in offices for
which they are not qualified under the
statute.
That closes one more place where
women have been given rights by COM
mon consent but which apparently they
are not entitled to as a matter of law.
Some counties will have to cut out the
salaries to women holding Offices.
But 1t Is incidentally pointed out that
perhaps the advocates Of removing the
sex discrimination in the organic law
of the land Will seize upon this as one
more. and a most excellent reason, for
making women qualified electors, tina,
they may fill offices for which they are
competent and where their services are
really wanted.
Anyway county officials with female
deputies will please take notice thai
this doesn't go any more.

BIG YIELD OF CORN,
Eighty Two Bushels Per Acre Record
Of GIenwood Farmer.

Glenwood. Nov. 13.-Recent reports
of good yields of corn despite drouthy
summer, have apparently inspired
every farmer who has raised a good
corn crop, to tell of it, much to the
pleasure Of the public
Two months ago in some farm re-
ports and estimates made by Mr.. Elmer
w. Stacey, a Missouri Valley land
farmer, who lives few miles from
Glenwood, thirty acres which estimated
that he had, would make sixty bushels
of corn per acre. The judgment of Mr.
Stacey was questioned and there were
many derogatory remarks made abou,
the exaggerated estimates. Mr. A,
Miller went into the field and gave a
somewhat close examination of the
corn and later told Mr.. Stacey that he
would agree to husk and crib the corr
and deliver to said Mr.. Stacey sixty
bushels per acre provided he would be
allowed the balance for his labor
Stacey declined the offer.
Now comes the astonishing story Mr.
Stacey reports that. desiring to fence
for hog lot a part of this thirty
acres. he gathered the corn on por-
ton of it, measured the land. which
made five acres, and weighed the corn
He found the yield eighty-two anG
| one-half bushels per acre on this five
acres, and he believes the whole of the
/ thirty acres is equally as good. This
| is the largest average yield for O. field
of thirty acres or more Yet reported II

| Mr.. Stacey listed his corn and cult.
waited it three times. Corn is selling
| for 60 cents per bushel. Eighty-twt
and one-half bushels at so cent!
amounts to $3.50.

Medicine, which I did. And after using
it I was entirely relieved. My son
Elmer, whose picture you find with me
has been having a standing cold since
November finally pursuaded him to
take Father Johns. He is rid of his
cold, and his cough has almost entirely
left him. His appetite has increased
nicely since taking Father Johns
Medicine. We highly recommend
Father Johns Medicine for all colds
coughs and bronchitis. We will never
be without Father Johns Medicine in
