Lee Welty Injured.

Lee Welty, formerly Of this city,
was injured in an accident at Fort
Dodge yesterday. The Chronicle
tells of it as follows:
AS result of an auto accident
last evening, Lee Welty, a well
known merchant of the city, will be
laid up for three weeks with brok-
en- ankle. The car belonged to Sam
Mcclure family and was driven by
Hugh McElroy. According to Sam
Mcclure, who was in the car at the
time of the accident, they were go
ing west on Fifth avenue south when
Mr.. Welty turned onto the avenue
from 18th street. Owing to the
headlights of an approaching car
they were blinded so that they could
not see the carriage of Mr.. Welty
until it was too late to avoid a col
lision. McElroy put on both brakes
but was unable to stop the car soon
enough.
Mr.. Welty was thrown from the
buggy, which was badly damaged.
He suffered no injuries with the ex-
ception of a bone of the ankle be-
ing broken. .

Thinks Well of Town.

MANY EXPRESSIONS were nedru Q'lr-
ing the last week of admiration and
approval Of our town. The town has
been full of visitors, here to attend
the Methodist conference and praises
for the order and cleanliness of the
town We're frequent. Many were
heard to say that there was not a
town in the middlewest the size of
Webster City, that could compare
with this, for real beauty, neatness,
order and general uplifting in1uen-
ces.o This was good season for Wis
itors to look over the town, the fol-
iage was at it's best, the lawns have
taken on that velvety look which
they always assume after the fall
rains, and the paving having been
completed, together with the num-
bers Of new handsome residences
which have been erected during the
last season, altogether made the Wis
it opportune for favorable comm ents.

When a body Of men possessing intelligence, and instincts of hu- manIty that are lovingly manifested in desires Co better fellow laborers' and human conditions. resort to the use Of dynamite or other means of revenge. as did the forty-one con- vlcted dynamiters recently sent to prison, It is time the public should Investigate the causes that lead up to such outrages. A wise people will not wait for outrages to be re- peated without finding the cause, and apply the remedy at the toun- tain head. It is absurd to keep on imprisoniug men for violence while overlooking the conditions causing the violence.
 Charles Edward Russell, the well known author. novelist and poltu- cal writer, seems to have caught an inkliug og the absurdity of the system in the following:

The earliest animals on the earth were no doubt soft creatures oi simple structure whose dead bodies left few traceable impressions in the mud and sands in which they were buried The successors of these early unknown animals acquired from generation to generation pro tective coverings whose remains in the older rocks are now studied by paleontologists. The fossil shells Of these early invertebrates are of great importance to the geologist, for they indicate the geologic per tod in which the beds containing them were formed. Each fossil iferous rock bed contains character istic forms or groups Of forms that determine the period in which it vas mud or sand. Former Director Powell, of the United States Geolo- Eical Survey, once tersely explained to a Congressional committee the value of paleoutology by saying that 1t Is "the geOlogisrs clock by which he tells the time when rock beds were formed. Naturally, pale ontology shows also the order or succession and therefore the rela- tion of the rock beds studied by the geOlogist.
 The economic importance of pale outology has been repeatedly shown in this country. In the earlier eN- ploitation of anthracite coal thous- sads oF dollars were fruitlessly eN- pended in New York in search of coal beds until the New York geolo- Eists showed that the beds in that State could contain no coal. The fossils in the rocks exploited are Devouian, whereas the fossils of the Pennsylvania anthracite coal beds belong to the Carboniferous, a much later period. This discovery at once stopped a useless eXpendi- turs oG money. The fossils of these rocks were not of merely aca- demic interest" they were of i'm mediate practical importance. The key to the problem was found by determining the stratigraPhic posi- ton, or, as 1t is called, the "gele- gle horizon" Of the fossils and the rocks.
 Rock beds that were originally nearly horizontal become in time tilted or even overturned, so that the original relation of the beds may be difficult to determine. Fur thermore, the rock beds at any one place do not represent a con- tinuanee series of deposits, for as most beds were laid down in water and as sea bottom may have be- come land and afterward again be- come sea bottom the story of the rocks Is not everywhere clear. In times of doubt and perplexity the Seologist therefore turns to the

sesults have come the growing re-
cognition OF the fact that plants and

forage crops-are economically In

dairy farm produces the food for the
COWS, writes an expert in Farm and
Home. One cannot neglect the grow.

his largest return through a highly
specialized dairy business.
The greatest question before the
dairy farmer today is that OF growing
cuitable food crops and its reciprocal
effect upon the fertility Of his farm.
The great need OF q wider growth OF
forage crops Is shown by the present
tendency toward the depletion of ay.
ailabie fertility. In many cases we
are growing too little and buying too
much, both OF feed and fertility.
