No Grass Like Our Grass.

N. GRADER went to Chicago Sunday
and on Monday disposed Of two carloads
of beef cattle at SPLENDID price Al
though only grass fed they came near
topping the market. Last week j. w.
Chafaley, of the Hotel Royal, enjoyed
a similar experience with two or more
carloads of steers. This speaks more
impressively than possible for words tc
do Of the excellence of grass in south
western Wisconsin.

One of the most difficult tasks in "A
newspaper Office, says an exchange, is
getting the facts relative to births,
deaths and marriages in the communi~
ty. Many people take it for granted
that when person dies the editor is
familiar with every detail Of the de-
ceased and his activities, when as a
fact he knows absolutely nothing about
him, but has to get his information
from other sources, same as other peo-
Pile would have TO do. Ii is the same
with regard to marriage or other more
or less important happenings in the
community. In almost every case the
editor has TO dig up the particulars or
to satisfy himself and the readers Of
the paper with mcagre and inaccur-
ate account The average publisher of
a country paper has something like a
million things to do and think about in
week and the patrons can hardly
over estimate how much he appreciated
any effort they make in furnishing him
the facts for news items.

John q. RATIO.

The programs of John b. Ratio com
prise representations in makeup OF
many different characters In the every
day life. and these combine to make
grand panorama of associated char
acters. This program Is so well con
nected that one character after an
other follows In logical order.
A novelty also In itself is the fact
that Mr.. Ratio makes up for each
characterization before the audience.
He pencils In full view of the audi
ence, telling an appropriate story all
the while Penclling finished, he turns
quickly to the table mirror to adjust
his wig, facing about to surprise you
with the accuracy Of his presentation.
Mr.. Ratio is a psychologist. He
studies his audience before opening
his program to suit the tastes Of those
before him. While most Of his pro
gram Is OF a humorous nature, here
and there he slips In a touch OF the
darker side OF life that never falls to
score heavily and bring handkerchief

MORE TIME TO FILE
 EXPENSE ACCOUNTS
Law Allows Candidates Thirty Days
 After Results of Primary Are Known

Montgomery, May 4.-(Special )-Not- withstanding the filing of expense accounts by numerous candidates for state and congressional offices in the primary on April $, an examination of the election laws of the state reveals the fact that all expense accounts are not required to be filed until 30 days after the declaration of the result of the election has been made. The state democratic executive commit tee met here on April 2l and officially de- clared the result of the election on April 6. thereby giving until May 2l for the filing of expense accounts, according to statuatory provisions.
 The law relative to filing expense ac- counts is set out in section 54 of the pri- mary election law of 1911, and reads as follows: That all amounts expended by each candidate in furthering his candidacy or which may be spent by his campaign manager or his campaign committee shall be itemized in so far as practicable and filed in the office of the secretary of state of alabama within 30 days after the declaration of the result of the primary e1ectiona
 None of the candidates for state offices who will enter the primary on May Il has as vet filed his expense account.

Bicycle Partially Demolished.

Sunday night, Harold Quinn, who
left his bicycle outside the United
Brethren church, found upon going
outside after the services, that his
wheel had been stolen. No trace of
the wheel was found until this
morning when it was found in the
alley back Of the Frank Leonard
home on Seneca street. The entire
front wheel had been taken and also
the rubber guards on the handle
bars of the wheel. In fact every
thing of value on the wheel had
been removed and nothing but the
bare framework of the machine left.
The wheel was a new one last sea-
son and had just been renovated this
spring. The cost of repairing will
be almost as much as the cost Of a
new wheel. This, another piece of
miscreants' work further demon
strates the lawless spirit which has
been so much manifest here lately.

To Des Moines.

The Elks first and second bowling
teams left this morning for Des
Moines where they will bowl today
in the state tournament. The first
team is composed of R. E. Channer,
e. F. King, B. A. Wilson, G. T. Nc
Cauliff and R. l.. Sterling. The sec
ond team is composed of N. c. A.
Berg, E. P. Prince, w. w. Pearce,
r. w. Pote and N. NJ. O'Connor. The
first team stands an excellent chance
of winning first place in the tourna-
ment, as last Saturday while in prac-
tice they rolled up a score of 2,S5S
and the highest score made at Des
Moines by a five man team is 1851.
The local teams have been practic-
ing hard and hope to bring back
some Of the honors.

Drill ATTRACTS
A LARGE CROWD
Citizens Witness Maneuvers Of Com
pany C-Interest in War
News Increasing.

The drill of Company C held on
Second street last evening attracted
ia large crowd. Many citizens were
present to see the boys drill, their
interest being aroused through the
actions taken at Washington the
past few days. The national guard
throughout the state have already
signified their readiness to go to the
front and yesterday many national
guard officers telephoned to Adju-
tant General Logan at Des Moin es
their preparedness for service in
Mexico. However, officers in this
city and men of Company C are anx-
iously awaiting the action of the
senate today, as it is expected that
they will amend the resolution pass
ed by the house of representatives,
making it broader and giving Pres
ident Wilson more power. Many
have asked the question as to how
long it would take to move Company
c. 1t is the opinion of officers in
this city that they could be entrain-
ed in three hours after the orders
came, or possibly less time.

SCOUTS Reach AND
PASS 1000 MARK
Will Have Two Shows Daily-Two
Boys Will Receive Field
Glasses.

The energetic work of the scouts
is beginning to show, when it is
known that up to noon today they
had sold 1889 tickets to the picture
shows which will be given at the
Isis theater Wednesday and Thurs
day, both afternoon and evening.
The matinee will begin each after
noon at $3.50 o'clock and the even
ing shows at $50 o'clock. At least
two boys will each receive the first
prize which is pair of field glasses
one boy having already sold over
200 tickets and the other nearly
200. The enthusiasm with which
the boys have gone to work to sell
the tickets has been equalled only
by the interest which the general
public has taken, many persons buy
ing generously from every boy who
has approached them.

VIM, Weldon for Senator.

VIM. Weldon, of Iowa Falls, an
Dounces in today's paper that he is
a candidate for state senator from
this district, composed of the coun-
ties of Hamilton, Hardin and
Wright, subject to the decision of
republican voters at the June prim-
airy.
Mr.. Weldon is one of the best
known men in this part OF Iowa and
has served with distinction in the
legislature from Hardin county. He
was postmaster at Iowa Falls for a
number of years and is one of the
most successful business men in
central Iowa, being now engaged in
general merchandise in his home
town and being interested in many
business enterprises. He is well
qualified for a seat in the state sen.
ate and is very popular in Hardin
and Wright counties, where he is
we'll known.

IOWA MILITIA IS
READY FOR ACTION
Adjutant General Logan Says He
Can Have Them Ready for
War in "a Hours.

Register and Leader: When word
is received from Washington, Adj.
Gen. Guy E. Logan is prepared to as
semble the Iowa National guard at
Des Moines within twenty-four
hours notice, prepared for war. Ar
engagements were made yesterday for
speedy action in getting the militia
underway. Some of the more i'm
patient officers of companies over
the state telephoned in to headquar-
tiers to learn when orders will be
sent out.
There are 5000 men in the Iowa
militia. This is the usual strength
in time of peace. If required for war
service, the companies will be in
creased to 10S men each. This
would double the strength of the
guard.
Camp Dodge will be used as the
camp ground for the Iowa regi-
ments, if the call comes. Although
the men can be rushed here within
twenty-four hours the adjutant gen.
eral says it will be three weeks be-
fore they could be sent to the front.
Each man will be inoculated with
typhoid vaccine before leaving
camp. This operation requires three
weeks time as there are three treat
ments at stated intervals.
In every city where there is ma
tional guard company, there are be-
tween forty and fifty men who were
former members of the militia and
have had military training. These
men are ready to enlist in the COM
panies again, providing there is an
opportunity for service. Therefore
if the call for recruits goes out the
old members of the guard will be
given the preference in enlisting
and there VIII be but few untrain-
ed men who will be taken.

PETITIONS FILED
IN DISTRICT COURT
Edward A. Jones Asks Judgment
Against Joe Sallee for $3.50.
for Injuries.

An appeal has been taken from
Justice Chas. Biernatzki's court in
the case of Mile Wood West vs.
Tom Wood ct al, in which the plain
tiff before the justice asked for the
return of property which she al
leges belonged to her but was in the
hands Of defendants.
Edward A. Jones has filed suit
against Joe Sallee ct al asking that
he be given judgment for $3.50 for
damages sustained at the hands of
the defendant. 1t will be remember
ed that last summer at Williams it
was reported that Edwards had
made insulting remarks about Mrs.
Sallee and was given a thorough
beating by Sallee. Jones now thinks
he should have damages for $500
and $50 to cover the expense of
medical attention necessary after
salee was through with him.
Fred G. Ruegnitz has brought ac-
ton in the district court against P.
C. Parks asking for judgment for
$3.50, alleged due on piano.

against Winnie l.. Yungclas asking
for a divorce on the grounds of de-
sertion and also asking for the GUS
tody of their minor child.

THE CASE Of HOUSE
vs.. THE N. ". A.
Lower Court Reversed by the Su-
preme Court-Case Will be :
-. $500 ~,
Tried.

1t was reported here few days
ago that the supreme court had re-
versed the lower court in the case
of House vs.. the NJ. w. A. and that
the estate could not recover the
$1,000 life insurance in controversy.
The report was then contradicted
and the lawyers in the case did not
know just what action the supreme
court had really taken. However,
Geo. F. Tucker, one of the attorneys
for the estate, has received word
that the supreme court overruled the
lower court on the demur, Judge
Weaver dissenting. This means the
case will have to be tried. The ap-
peal was taken from the demur sus-
tanned by Judge Lee in the lower
court, the case not having been
tried.

Want N0k0mis Park,

The park commissioners now want
to secure possession of Nokomis park.
as will be noted by communication
elsewhere in today's paper. This
park is located at the head of Pros
pect street in the extreme northern
part of the city, Immediately west
of the base ball grounds, and is a
beautiful spot. 1t was purchased
several years ago by a number of
enterprising citizens who wanted to
preserve it for park purposes, with
the understanding that it should be
turned over to the city when the
city was financially able to take it.
AS the Freeman-Tribune remembers
it, the price paid for the park was
$500. 1t contains, we believe, fl
teen acres, and sixty citizens put up
SIS apiece for it's purchase. These
citizens bought the park for the
benefit Of the town and it is now
worth perhaps twice the amount
paid for it. However, it is likely
the shareholders would be willing
to take what they gave and turn the
property over to the town.

THE WEATHER AND
!. . .. THE CROP REPORT
Small Grain Nearly All In-Condi.
tions Favorable and Ground
in Fine Shape.

Des Moines, April 21.-Special to
the Freeman-Tribune: The past
week was, until Saturday, unusually
warm, and all conditions. except
brisk to high winds on Friday, were
favorable for farm work and the
growth of vegetation. The average
daily temperature was six degrees
above the normal, and on Thursday
and Friday the maximum tempera-
ture readings were considerably
above 80 degrees in nearly all parts
of the state. There was practically
no rainfall until Saturday morning.
and the amount of sunshine was eX-
cessive. Under these conditions
farm work progressed rapidly, and
the bulk of the small grain was
seeded, large proportion of the
early potato crop was planted and
much ground was plowed for corn.
The warm weather fastened the
growth of vegetation, and pasturage
will soon be sufficient for the sup
port of stock. Fruit buds are swell
ling, and leaves are appearing on
early shrubs and some varieties of
trees. Winter wheat is reported to
be in good condition except in few
southern and southwestern counties
where some fields are spotted. Show
ers and rapidly-falling temperature
occurred on Saturday, with general
rain or snow on Saturday night, and
the week closes with indications of
frost and temperatures near or be-
low the freezing point Sunday night
