YOUR OPPORTUNITY.

To make more money during youl

work. Become salesman. An old
well-established automobile manufac-
turing company wants an agent in
every township and district where it
has no representative. You need nc
experience. You can sell your neigh

Am OkobOji Letter.



Mr. Hull and readers of The Re-
porter: AS - many asked ME Of my
trip to La pkoboji two years ago
| viii try interest you few mo.
ments by telling YOU something OF
my second trip Through Iowa in
an Auto.
We left Leon at 4:3O of June End
was in OsCeOla in one hour and in
Des Moines at $40 and was there al
most an hour; from Leon to Des
MOines the roads were very rough
After leaving Des Moines the roads
got better, with the exception of a
few miles. We made good time and
had no trouble all the way up here
We arrived at 10 o'clock that night
tired and worn out. l did not EN-
JOY the trip as | would had | been
feeling we'll. We were sure glad to
see a place to rest and am feeling
better every day now.
Mr.. Teale has had a fire every day
since we came as the weather has
been quite chilly. The wind has
been blowing so that not much fish
ing is being done. the waves are so
high. But we had some any way,
and you can bet they were good.
There is not very many people
here yet but someone comes every
day The cottages will soon fill up
as the weather get warmer The
postoftice, hotels and places of
amusement will all be open in an
other week.
l got the row boat out Sunday and
was going to take a boat ride, but |
ran into everything l saw and nearly
knocked the bottom of the lake out
so l thought l had better come in,
then l missed the dock and Mr..
Teale had to help me get the boat in,
and l haven't tried it since.
Mrs. Teale and I have been very
busy getting the cottage in order,
being about finished now.
The first year l came we got here
at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and !
certainly thought it was the most
desolate looking place l ever struck,
but soon changed my mind. Except
Decatur county It is the best place
in Iowa, according to my notion.
About all we do is to cook, eat and
sleep. All that 1 regret is that my
friends of Decatur county cannot be
here and enjoy the pleasures with
me.
Lake Okoboji has been a summer
resort for about twenty-five years
and is owned by tn state. 1t is
about s u miles long and r1a miles
wide at the widest part. There are
lots of bays and points, each having
a name; ours is Camp Leon and just
below us is Omaha. Mrs. Orr Sang
and maid came Friday. Camp Leon
has three families now. About five
thousand people were here last year,
coming and going all the time.
There are two double deck steam
ers, the Queen and the Okoboji, also
two smaller boats, lots of launches
and sail boats. While every one has
row boat or two. Every thing
but fresh meat is brought to the
door. When we want wood we Just
go out and gather it up, as the trees
are all around us. The nearest town
IS Spirit Lake, four miles away, the
county seat of Dickinson county. It
is thriving town and new buildings
are being put up there all the time.
There is also a large lake near
there but it is not as popular as
Lake Okoboji.
AS this letter is about long enough
will close. Perhaps l will write
again some day is this isn't thrown
in the waste basket.
Best wishes to all.

leaders of the radical prohibition
element and the anti-saloon league
are to America what the rabid Mill
tant Suffragettes are to England. If
English suffragettes have their
bombs, our Carrie Nations carry
their hatchets. The same blind rage
consumes them both. If they are
permitted to take hold of the suf-
frage issue, they will retard the re-
demption of women. 1t would be
we'll for the women to realize this.
To the progressive party, the chief
champion of equal suffrage, it is a
matter of life and death. But it is
also essential that the brewers should
understand the issue and that they
refuse, to harbor the illusion that wo-
men are opposed to personal liberty.
"Of all woman Suffrage states,
only one, Kansas, favors statewide
In Nebraska, where
women do not vote as yet, the vets
and drys fought a drawn battle. In
Colorado, where women vote, pro-
hibition was decisively beaten. In
Boise, Idaho, where women have
voted for seventeen years, the pro-
posal to decrease the saloons was
defeated. In many California cities
women have voted in favor of Ii
cense. In Los Angeles, where one
half of the voters are women, pro-
hibition was defeated four to one.

Off for q Trip.

IT, Mr.. and Mrs. George P. Campbell
leave today for little trip east.
They go to Chicago where they will
spend a few days with Mrs. Camp
BELLS sister, Mrs. Faucet. They will
go from there to Leroy, Michigan, to
be present and take part in celebrat-
ing the golden wedding of Mr.. and
Mrs. G. M. Young on June 18th, who
are cousins of Mr.. Campbell and Wis.,
tied here last August for week
when enroute to California. Mr.
Campbell agreed to go there and
"re-tie" the marriage knot for this
couple if all lived to celebrate their
5Oth wedding anniversar y which he
thinks he will be able to do and can
tie it tight enough so it will hold
for another so years.
From Leroy they go to Mrs. Nor
rell's near LaRue, Ohio, to visit
there and see the old home of Mr.
Campbell, where he spent his boy
hood days with R. L. Sowash the

Declining Cattle Supply.

According to the report of the de-
partment of agriculture in the last
six years there has been a decline of
30 per cent in the number of beef
cattle. Last year, the department
estimates there were 36.030,OOO as
against 81 ,056,O0O in 1901.
Various reasons are assigned in
explanation of the falling off in pro-
duction. THE United States no
longer has the former abundant sup
plies of cattle raised cheaply on the
open range. The range is being cut
up and fenced off into farms or d.
Verted to sheep grazing. There has
also been great increase in the
price Of corn and other feeds. which
has made cattle feeding a risky and
expensive undertaking, especially as
tor considerable time the prices re-
celVed were unsatisfactory from the
feeders standpoint For those var
'ous reasons cattle raising went into
dlsfavor, and the present greatly re-
,tricted supply is the result
Another factor contributing to the
decline is the high price paid for live
stock. BEGINNING in 1910, when
prices ruled high. there was marked
tendency among the farmers to rush
everything salable to market, includ-
ing immature animals, and worst of
all. breeding animals-a tendency
that has not let I'D even now.
The diminished supply has natur-
ally been attended with increase in
'mnorts and falling off in exports.
For the first time in the nations his
'ory last year imports of animal
products exceeded the exports. Eng
land, formerly our largest customer,
now is drawing her supply from
Argentina.
The department concludes after
"eview of the startling figures, that
the time has come when we must
conserve our meat supply and take
steps to increase it," and it regards
this as partly accomplished because
present remunerative prices will en-
courage cattle feeding.

president WOODROW WILSON'S INAUGURAL ADDRESS
CONTINUED from page 81

The firm basis of government is jIlstice-not
pity. These are matters Of Justice. There can
he ne equality or opportunity, the first essential
OF justice i'll the body polite, if men and women
and children be not shielded in their lives, their
very vitality, from the consequences of great in
dustlial and social processes which they cannot
alter, control, or singly cope with. Society must
see To il that il does not itself crush or weaken
or damage its own constituent parts. The first
duty of law is TO keep sound the society it serves.
Sanitary laws, pure food laws, and laws deter
mining conditions of labor which individuals are
powerless to determine for themselves are init
mate parts of the very business of justice and
legal efficiency ....-.@ r.
These are some of the things we ought to do,
and not leave the others undone, the old-fash-
Toned, never-to-be neglected, fundamental safe
guarding Of property and of individual right.
This is the high enterprise of the new. day: to
lift everything that concerns our life as nation
to the light that shines from the hearthfire of
every mans conscience and vision of the right
1t is inconceiyabe that we should do this as par
tisans; it is inconcevable we should do it in
ignorance of the facts as they are or in blind
haste. We shall restore, not destroy. We shall
deal with cur economic system as it is and as it
may be modified, not as it might be if we had a
clean sheet of paper to write upon; and step
by step we shall make it what it should be, in
the spirit of those who question their own wis

dom and seek counsel and knowledge, not shall
low self-satisfaction or the excitement Of excur-
sions whittier they cannot tell. Justice, and
only justice, shall always be our motto
The Task Greater Than Task of Mere Political Party
And yet it will be no cool process of mere
science. The nation has been deeply stirred,
stirred by a solemn passion, stirred by the
knowledge of wrong, of ideals lost, of govern
ment too often debauched and made an instru-
ment of evil. The feelings with which We face
this new age of right and opportunity sweep
across our'heart-strings like some air out of
Gods own presence, where Justice and mercy
are IecOnciled and the Judge and the brother are
one We know cur task to be no mere task of
politics but task which shall search us through
and through, whether we be able to- understand
cur time and the need of our people, whether we
be indeed their spokesman and interpreters,
whether we have the pure heart to comprehend
and the rectified will to choose our high course
of action. "
This is not a day of triumph; it is a day of
dedication. Here MUSTER not the forces of par
ty, but the forces of humanity. Mems hearts
wait upon us; mems lives hang in the balance
mems hopes call upon us.to say what we will do.
Who shall live up to the great trust? Who dares
fail to try? | summon all honest men, all patri-
otto, all rward-looking men, to my side. God
helping me, will not fail them, if they will but
counsel and sustain me!

LETTER Sent To- HAWAII SHOWS
BIT7ERNESSOF SUFFRAGETTES

All the way from England 10 Ha-
waii has come an interesting docu-
ment showing the bitterness of the
militant suffragettes of Great Britain
against Premier Asquith and others
of the government who hold his views
on equal suffrage The document is
in the form of letter, marked
private and confidential" from. Mrs.
4smeline Pankhurst, and is evidently
part of series of circular letters
with which the militant leaders keep
their followers informed of the plan
of campaign. The letter says:
Dear Friend-The prime minister
has announced that in the week be-
ginning January 18th the women's
