Young Aeroplane Company Now in
Kansas City, is Coming to
Waterloo to Manu-
faCture Machines.

Waterloo, Sept. Waterloo
will be the home of the Young Aer-
Cplane company after December l..
The concern at present is located
in Kansas City, Mo-, and has been
negotiating with several cities rela-
tive to new location.
The aviation field in Kansas City
is to be used for other purposes,
hence the aeroplane company, rath-
er than locate in another part of
Kansas City, decided to move from
the state. Several cities made over
lures but Waterloo was successful.
The board of trade and CONNER
cial club agreed TO pay moving eX-
penses and the Elk Run Land &
Townsite company donated the use
of one hundred acres of land for avi-
alton field purposes and gave the
proceeds of the sale of thirty build
ing lots for the erection of a factory
and two hangers.
In addition to manufacturing
aeroplanes the company conducts a
booking agency, which books such
we'll known flyers as Robert G.
Fowler, Capt. J. II. Worden, Art
Smith and Ralph McMillen. Anoth

MARRIED WOMEN LIKE HIM.
Lee CrOnin OF Oelwein is Popular
With Ladies But lin Bad With
the Officers.

Lee Cronin of Oelwein was
brought to West Union today, and
will have his hearing at 1 o'clock
tomorrow before Justice Berkey on
charge growing out of his depar-
ture from Oelwein, in which a mar
ried woman is alleged to have taken
part Cronin is an electrician about
twenty eight years old. When he
left Oelwein a week ago today Mrs
Belle Schneider, wife of ID. Z.
Schneider, a restaurant man, was
also missed. Mrs. Schneider, who
is twenty-one years of age. is said
70 have forsaken her child only
three months old. Cronin returned
yesterday morning to Oelwein, got
some of his baggage and started for
Dubuque, but was overtaken and
arrested at Stanley by officer Erwin.
1t is claimed that Cronin and the
woman had gone first to Waterloo
and then to Dubuque. Letters and
kilograms found in Cronin's rooms
indicated that he was some lady Kill

HEUSER FOOTBALL STAR.
Spillville Boy is Star Half Back and
Captain of st. JOseph's College
Football Squad.

The return of Oscar Heuser, star
left halfback and captain of the St.
Joseph's college football squad
Tuesday evening, frightened things
up perceptibly about the Alta Wis
ia campus where squad of about
forty candidates were sent through
a stiff workout by Coach Chalmers,
says the Dubuque Telegraph. Heus-
er's reputation as a football player
and athlete generally is so well
known that comment on his proves
is unnecessary. If permissible in
this writing, the fact that Heuser is
under contract with the Muscatlne
baseball club of the Central Associa-
ton and has been in demand by 9TH
er professional league clubs as a
crack pitcher, can be advanced as
evidence of his ability as an athlete.

Home Grown Sweet Potatoes.

1t may be a surprise to many TO
learn that the sweet potato market
in Cresco is being supplied by local
gardeners this season. For sever
al years past small patches of sweet
potatoes have been raised at the
Bents nursery solely as an expert
ment. This year, however, quite a
large piece of ground was given TO
the crop which turned out first class
and is proving to be profitable. The
propagation OF the plant begins in
the greenhouse. A potato is plant
ed and under proper care this sends
off large number OF shoots. Alter
the ground is sufficiently wormed
these shoots are set out in rows
similar to cabbages. Each plant
produces cluster of potatoes SINH
lar TO the way the common irish
potatoes grow.--Cresco Times.

AUTOISTS WORK GRAFT.
Redeem Tickets After They Check
Their Baggage.

Iowa Falls. Sept. 29.-Agent Blu
die of the C. & n. w. Ry. in
this city states his company has
just issued instructions for agents
and baggagemen TO punch all tickets
on which baggage is checked. This
action is taken by the company, he
states, to overcome a petty graft of
which this company and probably
other common carriers have been
the victims for some time. 1t is
stated Automobiles in making long
tours have bought tickets to their
destination, checked their baggage
and then made the trip in an auto
mobile. Later en-, the ticket would
be sent into headquarters for re-
demption, thus insuring the trans
portation of the baggage free of cost
to the owner.

Always First With Tomatoes.

Prof. F. f. Hoare was over from
DEBORAH Friday in connection with
his musical business and dropped
into the office for short visit. Frank
stated he wasn't a gardener, but al
ways had the first tomatoes in De-
corah; that he wasn't poultry
man, but took first prize for two
nice chickens he exhibited at the
Winneshiek county fair. After
swallowing all this he admitted that
his good wife cared for the garden
and poultry, and to her belonged
the credit. Well, Frank, we're glad
you placed the credit where 1t be
longed.-Ossian Bee.

The Hunters Moon.

Low-hung and golden with a soft
ly penetrating splendor, the hunters
moon broods over the fading bloom
OF another vanishing season. The
wind rustles through the magically
lighted forest where the soft scam
perings of furry feet are lost in the
soft whisper of leaves that are turn
ing brown. The water trickles in
silver threads among dark pebbles
and russell grasses. Downy-winged
weed seeds float whitley on the
shadowy surface of the brook.
Fields stretch darkly shimmering
under the moonlight. The road
grows narrow with shadows. Win
dow lights CLEAN distantly, and
pale banners of smoke float over
dusky chimneys.
Lighted streets seem childishly
garish beneath the calm majesty o
heaven, and glazing signs grow
small and pretty with their harsh
red-eyed splendor. Over the church
spires. over the tree-tops, under the
bridges. into the alleys, making
lights DINNER and shadows duller
creeps the soft effulgence OF the
low-hung moon.
1t may be that the centuries have
mellowed its yellow richness, and
again il may be the same as when II
began. Cities and armies and floods
and earthquakes have altered II no
more than a child reaching for 1t
from a cottage window. Into our
little lives il sheds a moment or eX-
ouisite magic. We call IL beauty
rather gropingly. That's about all
we really know OF 1.-THE radiant
hunters moon, says the Des MONIES

Mitchell Roads Like Pavements.

The era of bad roads in Mitchell
county is past. This is evident to
any observer who will drive over the
main travelled roads of the county.
Probably never has as much been
done to improve the roads here in
five years before as has been done
this summer. New concrete bridges,
new steel culverts, and wide, accu-
rately graded roads are taking the
place of the little chuckholes bound
in wood and the narrow, weed-cov-
cred ruts that have served for high
ways in the past.-Osage News.

FILIPINOS ARE MORE
FRIENDLY TO u. S.
Policy of President Wilson Has Met
With Approval, Says Commits
sioner Manuel QueZOn.

Washington, Dec. 29.-Manuel
Ouezon resident commissioner from
the Philippines in Congress, returned
today from Manila, with the declara-
tion that since the announcement OF
President Wilson's Philippine policy
the Filipinos are more friendly to-
ward the Americans than ever before
and that they now look to the United
States as their real benefactor.
Governor Harrison had been in
the philippines fully two months be-
fore / left the Islands, said Mr.
Ouezon, land during that time his
popularity has increased and the al
fairs of the country have been grow
ing better.
"The policy of President Wilson as
outlined in his message delivered to
the Filipino people by Governor Cen
eral Harrison has met with the en-
thusiastic approval OF the people of
the ilsands, especially the step giving
the natives control of both branches
of the Philippine legislature. No
Wholesale removal nor any political
appointment of American officials has
been made The few changes made
among the chiefs of bureaus have
been made in furtherance of the poll
CIV OF the present administration in
the islands. The 'Filipinization' of
the service has been promised to the
Filipinos by the former adminstra-
tion and Governor Harrison Is just
redeeming that pledge. The civil
service regulations enacted by the
former administration are being
strictly adhered to.
THE effect of the new policy on
business has been for the good. One
immediate result has been the i'm
provenent of the relations between
the Filipinos and the Americans so
that now there is a cooperation
among them not only in government
al affairs but i'm business also.
Acting upon Governor Harrison's s
recommendations. the Philippine leg
islature has introduced administra-
tive changes which have resulted in
the saving OF several million pesos,
Ga peso is half dollar), in the gov
eminent expenses, as well as in
creased efficiency"

"SETTLING UP" TIME.

Tomorrow will be the last day of
the present year and the occasion af-
fords food for reflection. The clos
ing days of the cid year is the time
usually set apart for settling up"
our affairs and getting things in
shape for the new year. All mer-
chants are now engaged in taking
stock" of goods, notes and accounts
as we'll as all other assets. A bal
ance is struck and they will know
how they stand with the world.
And what is true in material mat
ters should be true in those that are
spiritual God has wonderfully pros
pered us as a people. We are in
debted to Him for health and well
being, to say nothing of life itself.
What have we given Him in return
for all that He has done for us in
times past? Have we been serving
ourselves more than we have Him?
If so, should we not resolve before
the New Year dawns upon us to do
more in the Masters vineyard than
we have been doing? We don't
mean, especially, going TO church and
prayer meeting, important as these
matters are, but in attending to the
little every day duties that lie around
us. Nothing is more pleasing to
Him who made us and breathed into
our nostrils the breath Of life than
life of service for others.
But most of us are too much oc-
cupied in serving ourselves and
furthering our own interest, to have
a thought for the needs of others.
1t is not so much the giving Of money
or other valuables because we have
none that are extremely poor in this
section of the country, but kind and
encouraging word, gentle pat on the
shoulder to the fellow who is dis
couraged. These are the things that
count and make the world the bet
ter for our having lived in it. The
Master pressed this lesson home on
the consciences of His disciples when
He told them "inasmuch as ye have
done it unto one of these the least of
these my brethren, ye have done it
unto me-"
Let us get a new vision for the
new year that will impel us to do
more for the common good than we
have done before. There is much
we can all do for our town and coun-
ty. Let us devote more time and
thought to these matters than we
have done before.

CHS REASONS."

Governor Blease, on Sunday, grant
ed pardon to George w. Long, who
was convicted of manslaughter in
Greenville county less than year
ago and given three years and six
months in the penitentiary. Among
the governors reasons for granting
the pardon is the fact that he had
petitions signed by large number
of persons asking for executive
clemency. The governor is quoted
as saying:
"I have stated on the stump, be-
fore l was elected governor, and 1
have stated from the rostrum,
through the public press and other
wise since have been governor, that
if people signed petitions and sent
them to this office, that as their sera
want, l proposed to obey them, and
if people do not want those who have
been convicted of crimes paroled or
pardoned, they can bring about, to
certain extent, their wishes, by keep
ing their names off of these papers;
but when the most intelligent, and
the very best and influential citizens
sign and request that man be given
relief from his sentence, L, as every
other sensible man must conclude
that they know what they were sign
ing and that they are asking for
what they want, or they would not'
be fools enough to put their names
on the papers. Therefore, the petit
toner, George w. Long, has been
granted a parole, during good be-
hRvior." >"
The governor should not attach
much weight to a petition signed by
numerous citizens, because it is
we'll known fact that vast number
of persons will sign almost any kind
of petition presented to them. AS
has been suggested by some news
papers in the state, if this kind o
thing is to control the action of tn
governor, we might as we'll do ava.
with the expense of courts of justice
and submit the matter of the guilt
or innocence of the accused to the
voters in a primary election.

CHESTER FARMER KILLED.
Sidney j. Ferguson Shot to Death on
His Plantation.


Chester, Dec. 27.-Sidney ]. Fer
guson, a well known citizen of Ches-
ter, was shot and almost instantly
killed yesterday on his farm in the
Capers Chapel neighborhood. Frank
Grant, the 17-year-old son OF VIII
Grant, tenant on the place, is charg-
ed with the shooting. Young Grant
fed and last night was still at large.
Particulars are hard to obtain.
There were no eye witnesses to the
shooting and Mr.. Ferguson was un-
able to speak when found by Rhett
Brakefield, who happened to come
along the road. A .32 calibre pistol
was the weapon used and Mr.. Fergu-
son was wounded three times. One
ball barely grazed his body while two
others passed through his neck.
Coroner j. Henry GLADDEN. empan-
eled a jury with James /. Hardin as
foreman, but examined only a few
witnesses. He will conclude the in
quest at the court house in this city.
Mr.. Ferguson owned a large farm
in the Capers Chapel neighborhood,
and was prominently connected.
Later.-Grant was captured later
and placed in jail at Chester.

The Newberry Observer, in it's last
issue, makes the following com
ment on the recent pardon of Joe
Bates of Spartanburg by Governor
Blease: "a young woman, the mis-
tress of a man, decides to lead a
virtuous life and marries another
man. The man she left, in jealous
rage, shoots her to death, emptying
four bullets into her body. He is
convicted and sentenced to die. The
sentence is commuted to life i'm
prisonment, and later he is granted
a full pardon, having served less
than three years OF his sentence. Z"
The governors excuse will likely be
that there was presented to him a
numerously signed petition.
