COFFEE TREES
The Dumont Plantation Bsazi,
Contains Six Million Coffee Trees,
ON 10000. Aces of Land.

The Dumont plantation in Brazil
which belongs to an English syn
drcate contains more than a hun
dred thousand acres and has six
million coffee trees under cultiva-
ton. The plantation has its own
private railway whieh connects with
the main line sixteen miles away,
and gives support to more than a
thousand families. The ''Palmei-
ras'" plantation is larger but not
al given to coffee trees as is the,
Dumon. There are over three hum
dred thousand acres in the Palm
ezra. 1t is neanly forty miles long
and thirty miles wide. More than
twothirds of the coffee in the worl,
is raised in Brazil and the demand
for laborers is always greater than
the supply. There are thousands OF
p antations of from sixty thousand
to five hundred thousand trees.
Usually the trees are planted ON
the mountain slopes between one
and two thousand feet above sea
level but are also successfully
grown on flat lands when fertile
and we'll drained. The trees be-
to blossom in Septembr and by
April or May the berries are ripe,
but thee is seldom a time of year
when blossoms are entirely absent.

TRUST THE PEOPLE AT VOTING

Titonka Topic:-An Algona paper
comes out against the Shankland bill.
The Shankland bill proposes to sub
NIT the question of saloon licenses to
local option by popular vote. Here
again the editor shows his colors and
is afraid of the people. He has
preached in season and out of season
that the people ought to rule by
popular vote upon political questions
and what is good reason in one case
ought to be good reason in other
cases. Why can't the editor trust the
people of Algona and vicinity to vote
down the saloon license? Has he no
confidence in his neighbor or does he
believe the majority Of the people Of
Algona are in favor of saloons? II
che voters of Algona or any other
town believe open saloons are good
thing compared with the "blind pigs"
haven't they the right to legalize the
question by direct vote? That is the
question.

BUSINESS SUFFERSBY

Alton Star-Enterprise:-They are
having an interesting time in Ottum-
wa over the saloon matter, the an
nual petition again being up for
passage. The business of men who
favor regulated saloons and also Of
those who oppose them is suffering
from the effects of the battle. 1t is
to be hoped that the Shankland bill
will pass and do away with this Pc
tition of consent, which is so vexa-
tious to friends and neighbors and
detrimental to business interests. An
other thing, the whole county should
be allowed to vote on the question.
With the secret ballot, as the Shank
land bill favors, you vote according
to your belief and that is all there is
to it.

CHAPTER XIV.
In the Blizzard.

There was no cessation, no abate-
ment. Across thousand miles of
plain the ice-laden wind swept down
upon them with the relentless fury of
a hurricane, driving the snow crystals
into their faces. buffeting them merci-
lessly, numbing their bodies, and blind
Ing their eyes. In that awful grip they
looked upon Death, but struggled on,
as real men must until they fall.
Breathing was agony; every step be-
came torture; fingers grasping the
horses bits grew stiff and deadened
by frost; they reeled like drunken
men, sightless in the mad swirl, deaf
ened by the pounding of the blast
against their ears. All consciousness
left them! only dumb instinct kept
them battling for life. staggering for
ward. foot by foot. odd r!.1atasies Of
imagination beginning to Deckon. In
their weakness, delirium gripped their
haH-mad brains, yielding new strength
to tight the snow fiend. Aching in
every point, trembling from fatigue,
they dare not rest an instant The
wind, veering moro to the east, dashed
their faces like whip. They crouched
behind the horses to keep out of the
sting of it, crunching the snow, now
In deep drifts, under their half-frozen
feet.

BALLOT INSTRUMENT

Odebolt Chronicle Shankland
bill, which provides for the substitu-
ton of the secret ballot for the petit
ton of consent feature of the mulct
law, will be presented to the state
legislature some time during the pres
ent session for consideration. 1t
ought to pass, but there is grave dam
ger that it may not. We don't see
how in fairness any man can oppose
it, but the facts of the matter are
that it has powerful opposition from
certain faction allied with the So
called temperance cranks and they
are determined to defeat it. Other
temperance advocates, including H.
H. Sawyer, are for it. To US it would
appear that if the secret ballot is q
fair instrument to use in settling
other matters of public policy it is a
fair instrument for use in settling
the saloon question. Any man who
opposes it is not in favor of giving
all of the people square deal. SEN
ator Mates is for the bill and will
vote for it. Representative Dixon is
on the fence. If you believe the bill
is just and fair write him and demand
that he vote in accordance with your
wishes. He is your representative and
should vote the sentiments of his
constituents, seventy-five per cent Of
whom, we believe, are in Iavor of
doing away with the trouble breeding
petition of consent.

PETITION DOES MUCH DAMAGE

Sigourney Review:-They are now
going to have saloons in Ottumwa.
After one Of the most disgraceful
fights we ever read of existing be-
tween neighbors, the consent petition
was declared sufficient by majority
of IL. Of course, it will go through
all of the courts before it is finally
settled. We don't know of anything
else that would cause so much trouble
among neighbors as this petition must
have done if the reports published in
the Ottumwa papers are reliable.

blinded by the icy deluge. The pelting
of the hail startled the horses, and in
spite of every effort of the riders, they
drifted to the right, tails to the storm
The swift change was magical. The
sharp particles of icy snow seemed to
swirl upon them from every direction,
sucking their very breath, bewilder.

direction. Within two minutes the
men found it impossible to penetrate
the wintry shroud except for a few
feet ahead of them.

inhaling the Icy air. He felt the tug
of the line; heard the labored breath
ing of the next horse behind, but saw
nothing except that wall of swirling
snow pellets hurled against him by a
pitiless wind, fairly decorating the
flesh. 1t was freezing cold; already
he felt numb, exhausted, heavy-eyed.
The air seemed to penetrate his cloth

THE RAT MUST GO.
Destroys Property, Carries Disease
Germs and Is Menace to the
Civilized World

In many homes the rat does a great
deal of damage by eating food sup
plies, and his board bill is an expen-
sive proposition, so that today the rat
is undoubtedly the most dangerous
and expensive pest that afflicts hui
manity. He not only destroys mil
lions of dollars worth of property but
promotes the plague, carrying disease
germs and plagtie-fleas from one part
of the world to another. The United
States, England, Germany, Japan and
other countries have already taken
steps to annihilate the rat through ac-
ton of their health or agricultural de-
partments and every household should
cooperate in this work.
The rat is now known to be the
chief agent in spreading the bubonic
plague, the dread disease that within
the past ten years has destroyed mil
lions of human beings in India, China
and other eastern countries, and which
was only prevented from spreading in
the United States by the vigorous
work of Surgeon Rupert Blue and his
associates in killing off the rats on
the Pacific Coast.
The .rapidity with which rats multi
ply is the main reason why there is so
little Roadway in their determination.
More than twenty young rats have
been found in single nest and it is
estimated that single pair of rats
and their progeny would, II none was
killed, in three years increase to more
than ten million.
This is the best time in the whole
year to kill off the rats, as the cold
weather has a tendency to drive rats
and mice into the homes and thus
concentrate them. Fighting rats is
the same as fighting anything else.
The enemy should be starved by
keeping food supplies in rat-proof
containers, and killed by an active and
effective agent such as a reliable
paste that can be bought in handy 25-
cent packages from almost any drug
gist, the kind mentioned by the gov
eminent in the report on the exter-
mination of rats at San Francisco. In
selecting the proper poison ask for
one that is sold under guarantee of
money back if il fails and then in case
the rats are not killed off the pur-
chaser can get back his money.
The determination of rats is form
of health and property insurance
which protects the health of the whole
community and not only should boards
of health make systematic efforts on
a: large scale to kill off the rats but
every householder should give his or
her personal aid in exterminating this
destructive pest. The rat is under
sentence of extinction and must GO
