There Is a mighty interesting qucs-

real estate in the valley, and farmers.
home seekers and agents are working
on this, especially the latter, for they
are having the most trouble keeping

During the last few weeks there
has been an unusual amount Of selling,

that values in the last month have ad"

We are satisfied that any officials will
do their duty when that duty is made

We Know the lack of funds In the

ask but little help In this direction.
What we do ask Is that the city do
nothing to give the saloon business

Why A Dry
Red Cloud Again?

Because the experiment, 30 far, ha'
proved satisfactory.
Because II has not been fully tried
out yet.
There has been some boot logging
and there will be some during the
next year.
That Is TO be expected.
The saloons brought with then
some bad characters and 1t developed
others.
Many of them have disappeared
The others will also disappear II the
dry policy is made permanent
There has been little attempt to en-
force the law by prosecution of boot
leggers.
Nor do the majority of those wht
favor prohibition insist upon more
prosecutions.
We do not believe in the necessity
of y constant or expensive resort t.
the criminal laws.
We take the chance OF II small
amount Of illegal sales.
The harm that results from the sales
of the unlicensed vendors is u negli
Sible matter compared with the harm
that results from one licensed saloon
Indulgence in liquor is not made
popular by the sneaks who sell 1t In
violation OF law. There is little dan
ger OF our boys being attracted TO the
Ealrs Of the boot leggers.
There is little fear that new drunk
ards will be made to increase the list
of the victims OF drink by the arts OF

his traffic from the eyes Of the re

We have made whiskey selling IL

matter, as compared with the sales Of

matter, as compared with the sales Of
nm open saloon.
The saloon has cultivated n taste
for drink in hundreds OF people In the
vicinity of Red Cloud. - ,
The restoration Of the saloon will
intensity this appetite for alchol, and
add scores of beginners to the list OF
topers.
The boo,-legger has not made q
drunkard or started n young man on
the downward path.
He has provided the former victims
with an occasional bottle. lie has
never dared solicit or tempt the sober
or the young.
No man invites a friend to go tO his
den To partake of n social glass. One
saloon takes from the people for the
consumption Of liquor eight or ten
thousand dollars a year. II must do
that in order To pay the license, buy
the iiqnor aud ply the big profits to
the saloon keeper. We do not believe
that amour. of money, or anything
like II has beeu spent for liquor in
Red Cloud In the past year
1t Is absurd To suppose that n city
, or school district realizes amy gain out
Of the license money.
Extoring it from the people indirect.
ly 10y license to the saloon, is the
most expensive mode In which to col.
| lect u tax.
For every dollar that gets Into the
school fund or city treasury In this
manner the real taxpayer has to pay
Que to five dollars in addition. The
merchant loses per cent Of his trade,
per cent of his collections. A man
can't buy whisl<ey and calico with the
same dollar.
He cant uuy beer and sugar with
the same change.
He can't maintain his credit with
the merchant and pay cash at the bar
Of the saloon.
The saloon was never conducted in
accordance with the law.
The best saloon keeper was con
stant violator OF the law. The wors,
a greater ofYense, and Tar greater
menace to the peace and morals of tn,

State Support For Crop Experts Found
to Be lmpraeticable.

Specia! to Times-Republican.
Des Moines. May 1T.-Nearly a doz-
en- counties of Iowa will soon have IN
operation AND hard at work the system
Of maintaining crop experts or county
farm advisers. The organization when
was started a year or so ago oy com
mercial organizations in Des Moines to
have headquarters here for handling
this business, appears to have gone
completely to pieces. The plan was to
have the legislature make an appropri-
alton which would maintain the bu-
reau here. but that was found to be
impracticable. The organization now
is under direction of the national de-
partment Of agriculture. Most of the
counties have taken advantage OF the
offer of assistance made by the council
! Of grain exchanges, with headquarters
in Chicago. thru which n county can
| secure 81. 900 a year for this work. The
! committee reports that 1t has already
aided about, forty-fve counties in vari-
Gus western states and Is prepared to
aid as many more. The Iowa legislature
has also now made it possible for the
voters of a county to give direct aid to
a local organization formed to promote
better crops. AS yet this law has not
been taken advantage of by any coun-
ty but it will be within the next year.
