The Iowa Miller's Club is
shipping five thousand bushels
of Canadian grown Marquis
wheat into Iowa for distribution
through mills and elevators.
The Club made q thorough in
vestigation of Marquis wheat
and found it to excel all other
varieties of spring wheat in
every way, and especially in the
following points:
First. 1t ripens ten days to
two weeks earlier than any
other variety. This itespecial-
lv important in Iowa as it gets
out of the way before the ex-
IRENE hot weather comes on.
Second. The straw is shorter
making it less likely to lodge.
Third. The yield is exceed
ingly heavy, often running as
high as fifty bushels per acre
seldom under thirty.
Fourth. The wheat tests
from sixty to sixty-six lbs, and
has been known to test seventy
lbs. to the measured bushel.

SPOKESMAN FOR CO
HUMANITY is NOT IN
BY Mary Boyle o'ReiIIy.
Charleston, W.. Va, June 2o.-The
coal barons of West Virginia have
come into the open.
Their policy has been recorded in
court as immovable and relentless
opposition to, and brutal disregard of,
the human beings who produce their
wealth. ...
These coal companies of the war
zone constitute giant corporation
with capitalization of millions
Many of the lands they lease and
operate are owned by Standard OIL
Already in the senate commission
hearing the United Mine Workers of
America having apparently shown
that union workers were blacklisted,
that unoffending men and women
were systematically assaulted by
armed mine guards, that scores of
white men were kidnapped and held
in peonage, rested their case-so
much for the sworn record.
These astounding facts win be ex-
pounded in the days to come by my
following articles.
THIS is the story of the single
combat which has epitomized the
conflict of armed capital and strug-
Cling labor in West Virginia coal
fields!
The coal corporations, indicted by
public opinion, opened their case this
first day before the senate committee
by calling to the witness stand
Quinn Morton, millionaire operator,
president of the Paint Creek COM

Mine barons claim Morton as a rep

EVANGELIST PRAISES
DETROITS VICE POLICY

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.-The &C.
tion Of the municipal authorities Of
Detroit in stamping out legaiixed vice
and closing disreputable resorts was
praised by Fred B. Smith, the noted
mems evangelist In big mass meet
Ing held last night In q local theater.
Mr.. Smith was introduced by Secre'
tary OF State William Jennings Bryan.
who characterized Smith AZ the man
among present day evangelists whom
he thought was most like the late
Dwight l.. Moody.
Mr.. Smith said that In another ten
years practically every city of the
country will have followed the steps
taken by Detroit, Kansas City and
other progressive municipalities in
stamping out vice and that in the
coming decade cities will cease their
with vice and crime by
allowing known disreputable resorts
to remain open. The evangelist add.
ed that he also believed that the pres
ent generation of young men will see
the closing. of every recognized ~
loon in the country. although he was
not sure that he. himself should live
to see that day come to pass.

ERSKINE. Mimi, Dec. Under q

a half years old. daughter Of William
Ganzhorn. was found by searchers led
to her by bloodhounds from st. Cloud
(Minn.) reformatory, which traced the
path taken by the child when she dis
appeared from the Ganzhorn home

Still conscious despite the four days

searchers who found her was for her
mother. II want to go to mamma

little arms sore and her whole body

baby's escape from death during the
long exposure is declared by physi-

where she was found she traversed at
least a mile or the thickest kind Of un-
derbrush.
Twice the dogs covered tho route
taken by the girl. They led the search
ers to a haystack, but there they lost
the scent. Searchers spent SINE time
there, and in the morning sent the
dogs out again from the residence
whence the baby started on Its adven.
ture. Once again they led to the same
and over 200 men In the
afternoon took up search covering
