Testimony taken in the Ballinger-
Pinchot investigation showed that
contract was actually executed be-
tween the Cunningham claimants
and the Morgan-GUggenheim Syndi-
cate, on the basis of~which the syn
dictate expected a profit of at least so
cents a ton at the mine. Coal EX-
pert Kennedy estimated for the Gun
bingham claims alone a net market
able product Of eighty million tons.
Thus the GUggenheim Syndicate ex-
pected to make a profit of $4O,0O0,OOO
out of the Cunningham claims alone.
They had designs also on other
groups aggregating, in addition, five
hundred million tons, which, with
similar estimated profit, would have
netted them $25O,OOO,OOO. The Cum
bingham group was only a spot in the
middle of the BehTiRg river field.

THE SAVING TRUTH

There was once a mother of young
boys who thought it her duty to in
strUct them in what we know Of the
mystery of life. So she took them
very carefully through a series of
talks in which she told the story of
births from the simplest forms up.
Into these talks she wOve much of
poetry, philosophy, religion; but she
tried to be exact in her science.
Though she didn't use the scientists
big words, she told the truth so far
as science has revealed 1.-THE beau
tiful truth. And perhaps, mother-ike,
she idealized a bit-as what good
woman wouldn't?
Then she sat back, with fear and
trembling, to see what the harvest
would be-
One day the boys went to visit a
chum on a farm not far off. They
were to be gone all day.
Suddenly they came home.
why, what's the matter?" mother
asked.
ooh, we don't want o'play with
Edwin any more" came the reply.
Had a quarrel, did your"
mo, mother, no quarrel. You see,
it was this way: Edwin took us out
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-08-01

to see the COWS. And there was a
mother COW that was soon to bring
little baby COW into the world and
Edwin talked nasty about that moth
er COW and, mother, we thought of
you, and we just turned round and
came home"
Yes, the truth is best; the beautiful,
the saving truth!

SALOON PETITION IS VALID

ITY OF ELEVEN.
Action Of Board Will be Contested
in the Courts by oppon-
ents of Saloon.

Ottumwa, Jan. by a vote of 2 to
] the board of supervisors yesterday
afternoon declared the saloon consent
petition to be sufficient. The detail
ed resolution showing the validity of
the statement was filed with the aud
itor. The drys will take an appeal in
the case to the district court within
thirty days, according to the an
nouncement of Attorney c. w. Whit
more. Immediately after the decision
OF the board was made.
The plea of the drys to invalidate
the petition rested ON the boards ac-
ton with reference to the reputable
character of l.. A. Mongerson and
John Mcguire, two canvassers for sa-
loon petition signatures. This was
set forth in the opening arguments
to the board by Mr.. Whltmore, who
declared that the petition on its face
showed a majority of twelve. Just
prior to the board adjourning to con-
slider the case, another withdrawal
was filed, making the margin eleven.
Saloons are expected to open in OF
tumwa by Tuesday, Jan. 10, and re-
main open for five years, unless the
district court reverses the decision of
the board of supervisors when the
case is appealed.

TOLD OF WORK IN INDIA
Miss Morrison Gave Account Of
Missionary Labor.

A large crowd was present at the
United Presbyterian church yester-
day morning at the regular preaching
hour to hear Miss Jennie Morrison
talk upon the missionary work in In
idia. Miss Morrison is an Oskaloosa
e.rl and a member of the local con-
gregation of the U. p. church. She
went to India as missionary from
this congregation In 1895. During
her seventeen years of service, she
has only been home on furlough twice,
once in 1906 and at the present time.
Her work has been chiefly among the
Mohammedans and the frontier tribes
of northern India. These people of the
higher caste do not take readily to the
Christian faith and have many times
driven the missionaries out of their
villages. but the poorer people of the
no caste, as they are called, are rap
IDLY accepting Christianity as their
faith. Miss Morrison told of many in
Iteresting experiences she had gone
through in connection with her work
and told of the many places she had
visited. The peculiar customs of the
inhabitants of that country and the
ways in which they exhibit their OPP
position to the Christian faith we're
also spoken of. Miss Morrison says
that the English government, under
which India is ruled, is very kind to
the American missionaries and rem
Iders them valuable assistance. She
is very optimistic over the prospects
for the establishment of the Chris
! tian faith in India and the local con-
gregation Is indeed proud of Miss Nor
risOn and of the work she has done

December of 1912 will go down in
the records of the weather depart
ment as one of the mildest months of
the winter season that has been
known in Iowa in years. While the
Thermometer did not reach the high

ranged from six above on the 18th to
|57 above on the 25th, for the high
mark. The average of the local tenn
perature ranged from ABOUT twenty
above for the low to 1872 for the high.
Rain fell on four dates, the list, 4th,
9th and 18th, and we had light SHOWS
