Governor Clarke is down for few

Iowa republicans who are cr!tIclsing
Bryan should look out or they may
snd themselves playing an inconsist-

difference in the public mind between
governor delivering lectures during
the dull season in state affairs and a
secretary of state doing SO in the
midst Of some of the most exactins
international complications.
Besides It isn't true that Governor
Clarke is receiving pay for his lectures

has consented only to receive sufncient
financial remuneration to pay his actu-

lecture point and for his hotel expenses.
In some cases he has refused INVITA-

THE BIC WALL LAKE FIRE.
fnNx.,-

The fire in the Morgan township peat
marsh. northeast Of town the past
week. has brought back to memory
many others Of like nature some years
ago, when several dry seasons took
the moisture out of the peat sufficiently
to make it infiammable.
Perhaps the one best remembered by
our readers was the Wal. Lake fire,
in the summer OF 1894 That was
probably the dryest year this section
Of the country ever knew. In some
manner a fire was started in the bed
Of Wall Lake. which then was dry.
and it continued burning from the late
summer until the fall SHOWS came.
Holes from ten to twenty feet in
depth were reported burned in the bed
of the lake which are often discovered
there yet by hunters.
In the vicinity of harrisburg, and up
near Belmond. other peat marshes
furnished excitement in the same line
the latter burning nearly all winter
It is said that if Wall lake were
drained, large portion OF the north
end of it would be consumed with the
first fire started there.

OF further increase. He doesn't see how
he is going to pay 1t and gain liveli-
hood and lay anything aside for rainy
day. He rather thinks the landlord is
d hog and thinks tia: he should have
better buildings, more tile, more con-
veniences, etc.
The landowner is busy fighting some
way to get interest on his money. II
takes a dollar an acre each to pay taxes
and insurance and keep up the wear
and tear on the buildings. If he gets
S. rent on an acre, this leaves him 81,
which yields 2 2-3 per cent interest on
$50 land He tries to push the rent
up another notch. He figures he must
have it and he figures that it is just as
easy to pay Sc now as II was to pay 50
when hogs and stock sold at 3 cents
corn at 20, and oats at is.
The price of land has gone up at
tremendous strides. The price of rent
is going up. What viii be the result!
Just one thing-better farming.
Better farming means TWO things
better facilities by the landowner and
better work by the renter.
The land owner Will haye to see that
every foot is tiled. that proper build.
ings are furnished for the raising OF
stock. that means for intensive farming
like silos, are furnished, etc.
The renter Will have to quit lodging
cookie burs and burdock. The renter
whose corn IS full OF weeds. whose
fields are surrounded by jungle. whose
door and barn yards are strewn with
clubs and pieces Of machinery, whose
corn rs about two-thirds of a stand.
etc. viii have to quit business on the
good farms and founder about on the
least desirable ones.
Landlord and renter may growl but
the inevitable is at hand and the
sooner each recognizes the fact the
better II will be. II isn't a question of
whether we like it or not. 1t Is fact
that we face and not desire or
theory.
High priced land means better farm
ins.

WHERE MACE LOST $4,000.
TPaykersburg Eclipse.1


Our venerable ex-county auditor,
Mace Early, tells Us that in his younger
days he followed the occupation of a
country school teacher. as a means Of
keeping the wolf from his door and of
supplying himself with spending
m money. That at one time after COM
pIeting the winter term OF school he
had coming to him 1920 in coin OF the
realm.
The treasurer of the township dis
trict at that time owned 1870 acres of
land lying directly north Of Walnut
Grove school house. On this tract Of
land the school treasurer was owing
$3.50 which was secured by first
mortgage. The treasurer was sick Of
his load Of debt and wanted to get out
of it. He offered the youthful educa-
tor 800 II he would take the trac, of
land off his hands and assume the
mortgage Of $3.50 which Mr.. Early re-
fused to do. AS the land is now worth
$3.50 per acre. Mace is still trying to
figure out how much he lost by not
buying II.

lnyaLlpA1Ixc THE cosson LAW.

Judge Brennan. before whom the
trial involving the integrity Of the
cosson law controlling bawdy houses
was held, has decided that the law Is
invalid thru the failure OF the speaker
to sign the bill upon Its passage.
failure to authenticate the bill inva!-
idates it. That is the point upon which
his decision is based.
The supreme court Is still to pass
upon 1t. 1t may reverse Brennan's de-
cIsion. 1t may uphold the technically
upon which his decision is based. If
SO, we have established as a legal fact
that a careless, ignorant speaker OF the
house may undo the work OF the as
senably done with the complete ap-
p1oval OF the-xeate at large.
Should the supreme court uphold the
/, Brennan decision It Is stated that a
petition OF special session o. the leg
4slature Will be circulated asking that
the law be Immediately re-enac,ed.

BEGINNING AT THE TOP.
Hardin County Citizen.1

A good many young people tall In
the battle of life because they want to
begin at the top. They want TO COM
rnence right where father and mother
left off and enjoy every modern COM
fort without paying the price. They are
not willing TO undergo the long years
Of toll. They want modern homes. au-
tomobiles, long vacation trips. etc, now
not when they have earned them.
In early days nearly every county IN
Iowa had a number Of lawyers who had
become proficient and great in their
profession by hard. long years OF dig
ging and toll. They gained a compe-
tenee ana were standard and depend
able men of rugged honesty. Now the
Young man out of law school wants to
begin at the top without the inter-
vening years of grinding. He wants TO
ha states attorney oT become senior
member of some great law hrm. ne
will go 20 city and become chief at
torney for some great corporation.
In the end ne is liable TO become
shyster, simply because he does not
pay the price in toll.
The daughter is babied ov her
mother and father. They 90 not want
her 10 work as they have done. iheS

acter. Most statistics indicate expan-
sion, foreign commerce being larger
than year ago, and railroad earnings
for four weeks Of July exceeding the
total in 1912 by 4.6 per cent and those
of 1911 by 1917 per cent. tho bank
clearings last weeks were 20 smaller

slight increase in the volume Of
new orders is apparent in iron and
steel. but consumers are buying eau
tiously and mainly for immediate re-
quirements Advices from the Pitts
burgh district tell Of an active demand
for pig iron at lower quotations and
the call for crude steel is we'll sus-
tanned. with prices firm. The prominent
plants are working at about so per cent
now in position to provide prompt de-
l!veries. Preparations are being made
for fall business in dry goods. and the
steady purchasing by retailers has
materially reduced stocks.
1rTegularity prevails in the market
for leather, upper varieties showing
on a lessened scale. A steady trade
is noted in footwear in the east, with
practically all of the orders stipulating
early delivery. Most OF the plants are
busy on late summer and fall gods, but
nearly all of the factories are operating
under reduced capacity. The easier
conditions in the monetary situation
have become more pronounced, and
interior institutions are buying COM
merciai paper With greater freedom.
Retailers have been visiting the
wholesale markets and fall trade in
dry goods is in very satisfactory vol
une. Stocks of domesrics and other
staples have been notably reduced, and,
as consumption has been maintained
IN excess of production, neither whole
salers or producers are carrying ware
house supplies in their usual volume.
Staple ginghams have been reduced =
cert per yard. hut dress ginghams are
offered at unchanged prices for the
new season. There is a good cali for
bleached cottons and prices are steady,
but colored cottons are less active
than some of the gray staples.
Future purchases are not in very
large volume because Of the restricting
effect of tariff uncertainty. but buying
for quick shipment is broad. SO that
stock do not accumulate in first hands.
4 much larger business is being done
ia underwear and hosiery for next
spring than last year. especially in I'M
ion suits, with the finer grades In con-
t;nued good demand. Buyers of cotton
goods are inclined TO anticipate lower
prices IN the late fall because Of the
downward tendency Of the cotton mar
ket The openings Of mems wear have
prompted some brisk buying Of staples,
the reduced prices and the uncertainty
regarding deliveries Of foreign nler-
chandise encouraging ciothiers to move
into the new season in quite strong
