osition alone. These hills are full OF
the Mossouri loess formation. from top

to hundred in depth. This soil frees
itself promptly Of surplus water. 1t Is
highly efficient In the qualities OF ca
pillary attraction. the pulling OF mois-
ture from below when drouth prevails.
1t Is akin in quality to the Rhine river
valley In Germany which Is famous 80
"a fruit and vegetable growing district.
Moreover. the qualities Of this soil
have been proven by the pioneer fruit
growers. They have grown Jonathan
and Grimes Golden apples which have
won first places in tho apple shows
held in the center of irrigated land dis
tricts. Not only this, but they have
gone east and south and have shown
right here at home and won first prizes
IN competition with every section OF
the country. BY and by 1t will be
known all over the world that the best
apples on earth are grown near Coun-
ell Bluffs. Iowa.
This is no dream. 1t is not an ex-
aEgerated statement. 1t is merely
mild statement of facts. The need OF
the present time is to have these facts
emphasized here and elsewhere. What
is most needed now Is az increase in
the ranks of the men who are already
successfully growing fruit-Keeline.

ton of a thousand growers such as
those named would prove an irresista-

section Of the country more famous
than the Hood River valley in Oregon
OF any other fruit district in the coun-
try. The foundation OF this reputation
is here in old mother earth. The time
will come when this land which IL now

represent Marshalltowr and Marshall
county's acknowledgements OF just

These are all three by way Of pubic
enterprise and public duty. They mean
much to the appearance Of the city

A MOTHER IN JUDGMENT.

A Chicago judge had before him
13-year- boy convicted of grabbing
pocketbook from a woman in the
street. 1t was an aggravated case, but
the judge hesitated on account Of the
boys tender year. Calling TO the boys
mother he said: Pronounce sentence
upon this boy"
The mother did not shrink from the
task She said: You must earn the
money to pay for what you stole. You
must promise TO be in bed every night
by O'Clock or l will ask the judge to
send you away until your hair grows
gray" The judge confirmed the SEN
tence The mother was wiser than
many judges far wiser than the
eleven years in a reformatory for
stealing bottle Of pop.
Restitution is the first and ideal form
of punishment. 1t is the real way to
make the punishment At the crime, 10
bring home to the offender the measure
of his ofense.
BY the time that boy has worked and
saved to restore the stolen money ne
vii. have gained a new idea Of the
rights of others in their property. Then
this mothers sentence provided the
proper accompaniment to punishment

night.
What a world of protection for the

habits. How it teaches regularity and

physical health! This sentence en-

WEBB LAW IN OPERATION.

lCOuncil BUTTS -NOQpafell.l
Exchanges in various parts Of the
state have noted the fact that express
companies are again delivering liquor
from wet into dry territory, and there
is some questioning among them as to
the reason. The notion seems to have
gained headway that the Webb law
enacted over the veto of President Taft
forbids such shipments. Herein lies
the error The Webb law does not
forbid such shipments. What II does
do is to remove from such shipments
their interstate commerce character 1t
had developed in the course of the
fight to estop the sale and use Of liquor
that state authority could not seize and
conhscare shipments while in the
hands Of common carriers. Not until
a consignment of liquor had been de-
,ivered out Of the keeping of agents Of
common carriers and into the hands
Of consignees could the state step in
and seize. The effect of these decis
ions was 20 make of express companies
