Ottu m va Wife
Doesn'tCare to Pay
Husbands Bills

Des Moines, Jan. 29.-Under
new law passed by the lower
house of the Iowa legislature
with only four dissenting votes,
husbands or wives are not re-
sponsible for debts Of their lie
partners over and above a rea-
sonable amount for necessities.
Boettger of Scott county,
called up the bill. tie said the
bill was suggested by a rich
society woman of Ottumwa
who did not want to pay furth-
er for her husbands extrava-
gance. The legislator men
toned no names. He said also
that he knew of a case in Dav-
export where a woman, whose
husband had money bought
$1,000 dresses and charged
them up to hubby Under
the present law the husband
and wife are equally RESPONSE
BILE for bills. Under the new
law, which has passed the
house and now goes to the SEN
ate, husband and wife are only
equally responsible for neces-
stiles of life and then only in a
reasonable amount.

THE HUNTERS.
Answer to "a Huntsr."


/ was much interested in reading
your grand old BEACON" when l
came across the piece written The
Hunters" signed "A Hunter" and
l feel very proud to congratulate
them Oh at last catching fox, but
l don't think they should blow"
about their hounds. When one Of
the hunters acknowledge having
caught the fox himself. Now ! will
say if our Oakley dogs had been in
that chase the fox would have been
dead before Harry could have cotton
his foot out of the stirrups. Its
true we have no singwells, but we
have dogs that run well, and as we
have only five dogs in our pack you
just bet they are all thoroughbreds
having killed eight reds, and our
Oakley hunters would give any price
for any brush that was captured by
"A Hunters" hounds when the
Oakley thoroughbreds were in the
chase. The Oakley boys were very
unfortunate in losing their best dog
An old red fox from up the State
came down on chicken expedition
to the Church Swamp and our dog
'Ballanger" started him about sun-
rise, few mornings before election
and last seen of was heading for the
Blue Ridge Mountains, about 0 #.
behind the fox. And we know we
will never see him again, because
he's bound to have that fox or die
up north.
Our Oakley boys take great pride
in their pack, and have succeeded in
catching nearly every fox in this
section, thereby bcstowing upon
themselves the congratulations and
appropriations Of nearly every poultry
raiser in this section, quite a number
Of turkeys and chickens were destroy
ed last Summer and early Fall, but
we never hear Of any being killed
now.
Now our Oakley hunters would
like to join "A Hunters" pack il
a chase,
After an old red fox that was
sure to make q pace.
Our dogs wore trained 10 run the
reds, and never saw a gray,
So toot your horn,
bring ont your pack,
Ard our pack will lead the way,
And when the fox is caught,
our boys will get the brush,
For they have horses that can stand
with any in rush
Now come on boys,
from up the State
And join US il you dare
In a good old fashion foI-hunt
And see who will get the hair

largest yield in St. Mary's, II bbls.
was made by young lady in the
lower part of this county. Compare
these yields with our general average
in the past, under the old system.
We hope to beat this record in our
contest.
The Doctor also spoke very high
ly Of the Culberson Dat, which he
said is absolutely hardy and when
seeded in the Fall ripens before
wheat and is a heavier yeilder and
rust proof.
Ten of our farmers have already
placed orders for small lots of this
oat for Spring seeding and if sue
cessful a good quantity will be sown
this Fall instead of wheat.
Our members are very much in
terested in tomato culture and will
welcome a chance to grow them.
DR.. Stabler remarked that on a trip
last June down the Potomac the
boat on the Maryland side took on
tobacco grown in 1911, while in
Virginia at almost every landing
there were hundreds of boxes Of to-
matatos not over 8 l-2 months from
the seed
Mr.. Thomas Lawrence, of the
Seventh District, who grew two
acres Of tomatoes for the Bushwood
factory last year and expects to grow
ten acres this year will attend our
next meeting and give us the benefit
of his experience along this line.
We also hope to have Mr. j. w.
Renehan with us. lie also grew a
large crop of tomatoes last year.

sentences for trust magnates, just as
other laws provide for Jail senten-
cos for other kinds of robbery, but
for twenty years and more the Fed
eral courts have not been impressed
by the fact. This is why so many
persons have come to be suspicious
Of the courts, and to sincerely be-
lieve that the poor do not receive
the same kind of justice that is met
cd out to the rich; it explains, too,
the recent remarkable growth of
socialism, and the agitation for the
recall of judges.
In this connection it is important
to note that although the twenty
nine cash register heads we're found
guilty and we're SENTENCES to Jail,
they are not in Jail, and are not like
" TO be for two years, or perhaps
even longer. The Gaze will be fought
through the Supreme court. and rs
general rule two years is consum-
ed. II is said that the men under
sentences expect 10 tpe nil, and
will pour out their millions in an
effort to find some loophole of tech
nicality by which to escape the igno-
miny of being bran6ed q convict.
If the judgment Of the court is
Actually carried Our, it is obvious
that it will do more toward causing
illegal trust naguaias TO respect the
law, and at the same time more to
strengthen the waning confidence Of
the masses in the federal courgs, then
anything that has happened in years.

Washington Letter.
BY c. II. TAvEsSKR

For a change, the same kind Of
justice that is meted ont To poor
men, was melted out TO the rich when
Federal Judge HOLSTER, of Ohio,
recently sentenced twenty-nine off,
cials Of the Cash Register trust to
sentences in Jail, sustaining the view
long taken by democrats that guilt
is personal, and making the nrst
official responce to the will Of thu
people that was expressed in the
election Of Woodrow Wilson.
Now tina: sufficient time has elaps-
ed for members Of Congress to con-
slider the effect Of the judgment Of
the Ohio court, tho concensus Of
opinion among lawmakers at the ma
tional capitol is that the Jail senten-
ces will do more to cause million
aire trust magnates TO respect the
Sherman antitrust law, than any
thing that has occurred since trust
and monopolies have come into eI"
istance.
1t has been demonstrated that jail
sentences is the only thing trust
magnets have any respect for. They
are willing to build up giant mono
poles in the necessaries OF life il
their only punishment in the remote
event Of their prosecution and con-
viction is to be dissolution" the
details of which the Supreme court
will allow their attorneys TO attend,
to the end that their stock will dou-
BILE in value. Trust magnates care
nothing about fines. Fines are con-
sidered simply on a business basis.
The trust heads have no objections
to occasionally paying $4,000 or
$40, 600 fine having made millions
in cornered markets and in monopo-
lies Of the necessaries Of life.
But trust magnates are afraid of
a cell, and if they can be convinced
that if they violate the antitrust
law they will go to Jail, like the
poor go to Jail when they violate
law, no one doubts but that the
Sherman law would be obeyed and
the problem of illegal trusts solved.
The Sherman law provides for jail
