The farmers Institutes held at Nee
me and Valders, March 1914 were
both success. The attendance was
good at both places. The crowd at
Valders was exceptionally large, not
only for the day sessions but also both
evening sessions. The first evening,
the night of that awful rain which
caused SO much damage, the hall was
crowded and the second night there
was no standing room. Just how they
do it at Valders it is hard to say but
the people always turn out and CO.
operate wonderfully at almost any oc-
casion which tends for betterment or
social enjoyment

DEsERTERs:-The president has is
sued a proclamation ordering all absent
soldiers to return to the army by the
first of April, or to be punished as, de-
sSrtens; also warning persons against
enticing soldiers to desert.
Upon the latter point the friends of
soldiers in the army cannot exercise
too much caution. TO advise or aid a
soldier to desert is deemed an offense
against the law. The government has
a right to the services of the soldiers
who enlist. A case is now under legal
investigation at Cincinnati and is
watched with considerable interest as
likely to judicially determine the scope
OF the enactment upon the subject.

ITEMS FROM THE PILOT FILES.
FIFTY YEARS AGO.

WEED ON GREELEY--Ere long those
who are bereaved Of sons, husbands
and brothers, will begin to inquire
who invited the cotton states to secede?
Who told thom they had the right to
withdraw from the Union? Who stig-
matized and taunted the border statesY
Who intensified the rebellion ond per-
verified the war? Who conspires with
Vallandigham? Who, when the life of
the nation is dependent upon the union
deals forth ribald denunciation against
the democratic party?--Who in the
darkest hour of the war, traitorously
proclaimed that we mast put down the
rebellion in sixty days or ''make peace
upon the most attainable terms9"
The day is coming, I repeat, when
these and other questions will be
sternly asked of an editor who won the
confidence and betrayed the welfare
and happiness of hundreds and thous-
ands of his readers.
The day is coming when an insolent
journal will not indulge its licentious
tongue or apply it's indiscriminate lash
with impunity; when an editor who
intrigues secretly with foreign mini
ster and disloyal member of Congress
for "peace upon the best attainabe
terms, may not shower his foul accu-
sations upon truer and better men,
when those who do not wear the Tri-
bune stripe, and support Mr.. Greeley
for governor, senator and president,
will not submit to be mathematical in
its columns; and above all, when fan
tastic, dazed, middle-headed aspirant
for office may not arrogantly lecture
the president, defame his cabinet, in
struct Congress, depose generals, and
assume to command the army.-Albany

Lord Macaulay in preparing criti-
que on a great writer, referring to his
disposition to write unsavory language
said man may talk nonsensically by
his own fireside, but that he should
write out nonsense, re-write it, correct
the proof sheets and send it abroad in
to the world Is enough to make man
ashamed Of his species. These words
are pertinent to a certain case In this
city. Will some one skilled In the art
of leading the immature mind to form
a conception, take the editor of the
Times in charge and prevail on him to
desist from writing until he has
thoughts to deliver and refrain for q
time from contact with literature be-
yond his comprehension?

Butter Makers Will Have to Meet
Australian and New Zealand
Product on Market.

Butter makers of Hamilton county
must meet the competition of butter
makers of New Zealand and Aus
tralia. w. B. Barney, state dairy
commissioner, has in his office sam
pies of this foreign butter purchas-
ed in the open market in Iowa. 1t
was sold for 25 cents a pound. 1t
proves to be butter that will score
about So. Government experts in
Chicago scored it a little higher. 1t
is not adulterated but is not of the
quality of best Iowa creamery but
ter.
1t is learned that within the past
Few months d million pounds of this
butter from the other side of the
world has been received on the Pa
cific coast and from there distribut-
ed to the markets of America. A
large quantity went to Chicago.
Some of this was shipped back to
Cedar Rapids and there sold to bak-
cries and restaurants at 25 cents a
pound It was from this source that
a sample was received and sent to

A CRuNDY BOY
wins THE BIG
CORN CONTEST
Arthur w. Runft Wins State Cham
ship Of Acre Corn
Clubs.

Ames, Dec. S.-Besides making a
net profit of $133.43 on an acre OF
corn, Arthur w. Runft, II years old,
of Grundy county defeated nearly
1000 other Iowa boys for the cham
pionship of the state acre corn clubs,
and won the free trip to Washing
ton, other eastern cities and Niagara
Falls offered by C. B. Hutchinson OF
Waterloo.
Agnes Friedell of Black Hawk
county grew 3,403 pounds of toma-
toes on a little less than one-tenth
of an acre last season. Her total ex-
pense for ground work and equip
ment was $25.26, the sale of toma-
toes brought her $11s.14, her net
profit totaling $92.SS.
Miss Friedell also won the free
trip to Washington as champion OF
the State Garden and Canning club.
She is II years old and a student in
the Cedar Falls High school.
Seed corn testing and careful
preparation of the seed bed were the
factors that gave Arthur Runft the
corn championship. In 1912 he won
a premium at the farmers institute
at Reinbeck for the best ten ears of
corn grown in Grundy county.

NO BUYERS FOR
SCHOOL PROPERTY
offered For Sale by County Treasur-
er Hamilton Second Time,
But no Bidders.

The three central school buildings
in this city which were placed on
tax sale Monday, and found no bid
ders, were again placed under the
hammer Monday morning, but again
found no one who cared to risk pay
ing the paving and curb and gutter
taxes. Only one man responded to
the advertisement of the sale and he
was arcitizen of Iowa City and tele-
phoned Treasurer Hamilton that he
would take the buildings If he could
collect the taxes and penalty when
the district wished to redeem, but
the treasurer Immediately told him
they could not guarantee that he
could get his money back and the
gentleman decided he did not care
to take the risk What action will
be taken is not known, but it is very
probable that no one will care to risk
paying the taxes. The school dis
trict, when the fund with which to
pay taxes becomes sufficient, will
probably pay the assessments.

BUYER GETS
BASEBALL PARK
]. R. King Of Jewell States That He
Would Like to Take Park
to Jewell.

The base ball fans of the city
should if they are loyal fans give
the management of the Athletic as
sociation the benefit of their opin-
ions in regard to the base ball park.
1t seems that last Monday County
Treasurer Hamilton, who though a
loyal base ball fan, was forced to sell
the base ball grounds for taxes and
they were bought by ]. R. King Of
Jewell, who stated that he intended
to take the grounds to Jewell as re-
venge for the defeats that Jewell
suffered this summer at the hands of
the White SoX. While the manage
ment are not worrying as to Jewell
getting the grounds, the fact that
there is some hitch in the fulfillment
of the contract is bothering them
more or less, as they have wish
ed to pay the amount due and get a
deed, but have been unable to do so
as the owner has till the first of
March to fulfill the contract. This
matter will no doubt be taken up at
the meeting at the city hall
tonight and an attempt to adjust
matters will be made.

HIS life IS JUST
ONE RIDDLE Af-
Ter ANOTHER
And So Mr., John Riddle Has Many
Shoes and Other Things to
Buy Each Year.

Lead Hill, Ark, Dec S.-When
John Riddle, farmer, who lives on
White river, five miles from Lead
Hill, bought fifteen pairs of shoes,
thirty pairs of hose, sixty suits of
underwear and various other sup
plies at a local store, he said that he
would wait until one day next week
before he bought winter goods for
the rest of his family. Mr.. Riddle
is the father of eighteen children,
all of whom are with him, except
one daughter, who is married and
who lives near her fathers farm.
There is only one set of twins,
who are just now a little more than
a year old, and the last baby in the
family was born last May. Neither
Mr.. Riddle nor his wife is old, and
both of them look younger than they
really are. Mrs. Riddle in fact,
looks little older than her oldest
girl, and is always active in the per-
formance of her many duties on the
farm.

Want CHANGE OF
CITY GOVERNMENT
Iowa Falls Will Vote Upon the Prop
osltion-Petitions are
Circulated

There has been more or less talk
in Webster City from time to time
in favor of the adoption of the COM
mission form of government but thus
far nothing definite looking to such
a consummation has been done. Many
cities are agitating the question, the
latest in this vicinity being Iowa
Falls. The following from the Iowa
Falls Citizen shows the progress be-
ing made in that town in the direc-
tion of the commission plan:
Petitions were circulated the past
week securing signatures with a
view of changing our form of city
government to the commission style.
The petition was filed with the city
council Monday evening and con-
tanned at least twenty-five per cent
of the number of voters who voted
for mayor at the last municipal
election. Such petition makes 1t
mandatory under the law for the
present mayor to call an election
within sixty days, the purpose of
which is to give the people an op-
portunity to vote yes or no upon the
question, whether we shall change
to the commission brand of local
government.
If this election carries, which II
probably will, then a primary elec-
| tion must be held at least two weeks
! prior to the spring municipal elec'
ton. The purpose of the primary
! Is to nominate two candidates fol
mayor and four for councilmen

POSSE FINDS
TRACKS OF THE
MEXICAN BANDIT
Dynamite Flung Into Room Where
Lopez is Supposed to Have
Retreated.

Bingham, Ut, Dec. S.--Tracks OF
a man crawling ON his hands and
knees and dragging rifle were
found in Phoenix tunnel No. 2 of the
Utah-Apex mine late yesterday by
the posses searching for Ralph Lo-
pez. slayer of six men. They were
followed until they turned into
room, and into this was flung stick
of dynamite which brought down
tons of earth and rock. The room
will be cleared of debris and search
ed today.
Aside from this one possibility
that the desperado lay dead in the
room, the sheriffs and deputies found
nothing yesterday to dispel the COM
mon belief that he had escaped be-
fore the gases, which were forced in
to the mine last week to asphyxiate
him, became overpowering. Howev-
er, the search was pursued vigorous
ly last night and will continue until
every part of the mine has been ex-
plored.
The pursuit of Lopez began on
Nov. 21 when he killed Mexican
miner. Since then he has killed the
chief of police and four deputy sher-
ifs.
