EDITOR SAYS CANTRIL
IS BEAUTIFUL TOWN

Contrib Nov. 24.--An editor Of one OF
the county papers visited Cantril re-
Gently and in a nice little writeup he
gave this town, he said it was the
handsomest town Of it1 size he was
ever in. The town is worthy of the
comment. People who visit Cantril al
ways speak of it as clean looking
town: the business houses, churches
and dwellings are up to date and kept
painted The lawns are well kept and
flowers are to be seen blooming in
almost every yard from early spring
until late fall. Some new building is
nearly always on the way. Just at this
time the fine new $4,000 school build
ing and John Saar garage are being
rushed to completion. Several new resi-
dences have been built in Cantril in the
last year and more are to be built in
the spring

BIC CORN CROP IS
NOT new RECORD
YIELD FOR 1914 PASSES THAT OF
ALL OTHER YEARS EXCEPT.
ING THAT OF 1912

Washington, D. c., Nov. 25.-Al-
though preliminary estimates of corn
production this year indicate that the
aggregate per acre yields of all crops
will be about 9.4 per cent larger than
last years yield and about 2.3 per cent
larger than their ten year average,
they will still be smaller by nearly five
per cent, than the 1912 record large
crop yields, according to the depart
ment of agriculture today.
The total production of corn this
year, it is estimated, will be about 1916
per cent larger than that OF last year;
the wheat crop 1868 per cent; oats,
16 per cent: barley, 1913 per cent;
buckwheat, 23.1 per cent; potatoes,
22.6 per cent; sweet potatoes
81 per cent smaller; hay, per cent
larger; cotton between and 9 per
cent; tobacco about per cent larger;
apples about 70 per cent larger; sugar
beets per cent smaller; fax seed
1O.5 per cent smaller.
Notwithstanding increased produc.
ton, prices which producers are re-
ceiving for grain crops are somewhat
higher than received from last years
crops. There has. however, been a
decline in the prices for apples and
potatoes and marked decline in cot
ton

TWO MEN WANT
$4,000 FROM ROAD
JOE BoRoUGHS AND OWEN SMITH
ART CLAIM DAMAGES FROM
M. & ST. L.

,Sigourney, Nov. 24.-Two important
damage cases have been filed in the
district court for the December term.
The actions arise out of the accident
which occurred at Martinsburg on
August IA, 1914, when the parties were
driving across the Minneapolis & st.
Louis railroad crossing, just east of
town. The one action is brought by
Joe Boroughs who alleges that he and
Owen Smithart and another man were
in buggy driving single horse;
that when they approached the rail-
road crossing there was freight train
in the yard on the side track blowing
off steam and making much noise:
that on the east side Of the highway
there was a hedge fence and also
field of tall corn so that an approach
ing train from the east could not be
seen; that as they were attempting to
cross the freight train shut off their
passage was on the side track, and
while the buggy was on the main track
{. passenger train approached from the
east and struck them that just before
attempting to cross that they stopped
and looked and listened for an ap-
preaching train, but on account of the
noise IN the YARD cOulQ near mourning
and could not see to the east on &C.
count of the obstruction thought they
were safe in crossing. That the de-
PENDANTS train men we're negligent in
thus operating their trains and that
the accident was no fault of the men
driving the horse and buggy.
Mr.. Boroughs alleges that the pas
senger train struck him breaking both
his legs and otherwise injurying him
and he asks damages in the sum Of
$4,000.
\ The other action is by Oral Smithart
administrator of the estate of Owen
Smithart who was killed in the same
accident and he asks damages in the
sum of $4,000 on account of causing
the death of Owen Smithart.

in the Mexican capital Indicate that
all of the organized constitutionalist
forces have left the city, either to
meet the forces of General Villa, COM
ing from the north or those of General
Zapata. which have been threatening
the capital from the south.
The mention of fighting at Tacu-
baya. which is only five miles south
west of Mexico City, would make 1T
appear that the Zapata forces are vir-
tually at the doors of the capital.
General Blanco and force of sew
eral thousand men composed the last
organized force that late reports said
remained in Mexico City, all other
armed forces having left last week.
With them went all the national, fed
eral, district and city officials 1t
seems likely. Judging from the reports
of the rioting, that General Blanco
left with his troops to take part In the
fighting. either to the north or the
south.
Hear Nothing Today.
Washington, D. c., NOV. 25.-Mexlco
City was behind the veil again today,
SO far as official dispatches on the
situation there were concerned. The
last advices from American Consul
Silliman. filed there Monday after
noon. arrived late last night and only
reported the interruption Of communi-
cation between the capital and Vera
Cruz and to the northward of Mon
terey and Saltillo.
On behalf of Provisional President
Gutierrez and the Aguas Calientes
convention, Enrique Llorente today
expressed satisfaction at the evacua-
ton of Vera Cruz Mr. Llorente, des-
ignated as the Washington representa-
tive of the convention, said the with
drawal Of the troops was splendid
example of the altruism of the United
States.

RIOTTNG OCCURS
AT MEXICO CITY

continued. All street car traffic was
stopped except the Red Cross service
which was taking care of the dead
and wounded brought in from the
fighting around Tacubaya.
At O'Clock bodies of civilians and
former federal soldiers were formed.
They paraded the principal streets
and marched to police headquarters
and the Brazilian legation, where they
were armed.
1t was hoped that this force even
tually would be able to control the
situation.

Belgian Relief Fund,
Ottumwa, Iowa.
Dear Sir:-I enclose you herewith
order on John Morrell & Co.. Ottumwa,
Ia, for $40 worth of provisions for the
Belgian relief fund, knowing that
through the generosity of the firm
more can be had for this money this
way than if these poor people went
into the open market and tried to buy
the goods themselves.
This is very commendable work on
the part of you people and we are sure
that Iowa will be found not lacking in
doing her share.
Very truly yours,
Geo. w. Wellman.

Eddyville, EIdon, Agency, BIakes- :
burg and all Of the various towns
and cities In the county as we'll
as the farmers, should send In
their donations to Treasurer J. F.
Powell Of The Courier in order
to keep all Of the Wapello county
gifts together. Mr.. Ninocks
wishes to emphasize the fact that
the movement is not local to o.
tumwa> or any other city in the
county, but Is WapeiIo county
movement In which the whole
county is asked to participate.
Among the donations received to-
day was one from New York where
an Ottumwan, George W.. Wellman,
representative of John Morrell & Co.,
desiring to aid in the Iowa relief
movement, sent an order for canned
meats.
Apples Are Donated.
Kinds brothers who own a large
orchard near Highland, have donated
three barrels of their best apples to
the Belgian relief cause. These apples
will be sold at the highest market
price and the money turned into the
treasurer Of the fund to apply on the
MI ohnc Nf fCv kh4 M
ferers Of Belgium. The plan is sug-
gested as one that is practical for 9TH
ers to follow who are so inclined as all
gifts that can be turned into ready
cash will be acceptable although corn
and money are the chief articles re-
ceived for this cause.
