Barney Frederick Pratt, nine
soldier in the Civil war, was
perhaps as intimately acquainted with
Col. Mosebv of the Confederate army,
as any private on the Federal side. It
was Mr.. Pratt who answered the knock
of the guerilla commander at Fairfax
Court House when Moseby captured
General Stoughton Of the pa Vermont
brigade Although only little more
than nine months in the service Mr.
Pratt served as mounted orderly to
General Stoughton, was prisoner IN
Libby for 10 days, and fought in the
battle of Gettysburg.
Mr.. Pratt was born in Fayetteville
on Sept %, 1913, a son of Asa and
Marv (Sanders) Pratt When IA years
of age he came to Brattlehoro and en-
tered the employ of Asa Miller Co,
carriage builders on Elliot street. lie
was there employed at the time of his
enlistment as private in Company G,
10th Vermont The regiment organ
lied at the fair grounds here and was
sent to the front by the usual route
through Washington.
Not long afterward Mr.. Pratt was

Moseby and a squad of p picked mei
of his irregular command.
General Stoughton and his orderl,
were asleep in the house Of a physician

H headquarters when loud knocking n
the door caused the general to orde

After a little over a years work,
the government experts who were
sent to Dallas county to assist in the
fight which the department of agri-
culture is waging against hog chol-
era report that there is not a single
case within the county. None have
been reported for over month. Last
year the loss to the farmers of Dallas
county amounted to over 100000.
Through the efforts of the governor
and the representative, the govern
ment was induced to make that coun-
ty one of the experiment stations,
and the results have been highly
gratifying. Perfect township organi-
cations have been eeffcted, and the
farmers of every district have work
ed in harmony with DR.. j. S. Koen
and other veterinary surgeons in
charge of the work. A year ago more
than 100 herds were affected, but
the campaign has been carried on so
vigorously that at this time there is
no cholera whatever. At present a
border campaign" in which the adj
joining counties are taking part, has
been started with very gratifying re-
suits. The state college and the
atate veterinary surgeon are assist

In law a legal tender is the act of
rendering legal money in payment of
a debt or claim in the manner and
form prescribed by law. To consti-
trte legal tender it must be a GER
tain kind of money, and done in a
certain way. In the United States all
gold coins and standard silver dollars
are legal tender to any amount. Sill
YER coins below the denomination of
one dollar are legal tender up to $40,
and l cent and cent pieces are not
legal tender to an amount not exceed
rs cents. A debt of less than Is cents
can be paid in cents and nickels,
>.ebt of less than $40 in silver, and
debt of any amount in gold or in sill
yer dollars. Treasury notes or green
backs are also legal tender to any
amount, having in this respect the ad-
vantage of the Bank of England
notes, which are not legal tender in
Scotland or Ireland. To constitute a
legal tender in payment of liquidat-
ed debt the exact amount must be
rendered in legal tender money, and
not larger amount with demand
for change, but the courts have held
that If passenger on q street car

also see boats anchored and some
appear to have families living upon
them. Now looking to our right we
are in view of the steamer Little Sill
yer which is being towed in by Ger
ard H. Heller one of the tow boats
mentioned previously and after we
have passed several other vessels we
notice one that is known as the fire
boat whose purpose it is to go to
the rescue of vessel should it take
fire. Now as we near New York we
also see the New Jersey shore and
here we notice the tow boats trans
porting entire train-loads of mer-
chandise across the harbor, we also
notice on other vessels horses being
transported hitched to their wagon
or truck or carriage some of these
horses we are told are taken across
daily and they surely show no ex-
element while on the vessel.
After seeing all these things also
many others we land, approaching
the kindness shown by New York
friend and are very glad that such
an opportunity presented itself.
Sincerely yours,

We now notice the beautiful archi-
lecture as we pass to the ocean, the
beautiful and comfortable homes and
many hotels that afford cOnveniences
for this wonderful pleasure resort;
again we reach the long board walk
a portion of which we measure by
steps until we reach an empty seat,
and since this is Monday all are not
taken, here we rest and watch the
bathers, some standing near the edge
of the water and allowing only pOr-
ton of the waves to strike them after
they have broken; we also notice
several men standing near bench
or sitting upon it under the shade of
a large umbrella. These are known
as life preservers, many of whom
are college students spending their
summer at this occupation, they
keep constant eye upon the bathers
and should any be in danger or need
of help they quickly attach the life
rope to their body and 60 to their
rescue. After hearing of the re-
freshing nature of the sea water and
watching the bathers, the next
point to be visited is the bath house
where a suit is secured and that
wonderful old fashion bath is ex-
perienced here the pleasant sensa-
ton of being tossed by the ocean
waves is felt and since the waves do
not all break at the same place oc-
casionally one will break over you
thus giving you another idea of the
ocean; sometimes two OF three large
waves will follow one another so
rapid that many bathers rush to the
shore where they lie in the sun and
thus secure that wonderful tan.
After nice long bath and receiv-
ing a beckon from the guide we next

ing train to the pier where the
Steamer Asbury Park No. 6 is
boarded, and taking the top deck we
see the American flag taken down
and the lights hoisted. At distance
we see many sail boats and almost
out of sight is seen the smoke stack
of a steamer, as we meet the smaller
vessels we are aroused with curiosity
for when the large waves strike them
it becomes very rough, these small
vessels usually turn to meet the
waves and when they 60 over them

standing solidly behind the admin
istration. Edwin T. Meredith, Mr..
Cnnnnllu,s urinary Armament as ner-

COnnOlly's primary opponent, as per-
mancnt chairman of the convention
was also given an enthusiastic dem
onstration and reference to his
possible candidacy for the Kenyon
succession in the Senate brought
cheers. The platform gives sound
ing Endorsement to the Wilson ad-
ministration, calls for the election OF
Congressman Connolly as Senator,
and contains several strong planks,
among them one to limit the hours
of women workers to ten hours a
day, and others to provide free state
labor exchanges, vocational educa-
ton facilities for the children of
Iowa workers and other measures.
The platform makes a confident ap-
peal for support for candidates on
ticket pledged to support the Will
son administration in the construc-
tive work it has SO well advanced.
The evidences of united support
Iowa democrats are giving Presi-
dent Wilson's administration gives
the strongest indication that Senator
Cummins will not be able this year
to count on the democratic support
he has received in the past. Ma
tional committeeman Wade in a re-
cent interview given in Sioux City
called attention tot this when he
said:
Senator Cummins has seen the
handwriting on the wall. ! think
no one thing proves that point SO
much as the fact that within the
last fortnight the Senator has found
one measure proposed by the Wilson
administration which has drawn
from him praise in the public prints.
Up to this moment the senior Sen
ator from Iowa has been unable to
find any other piece of legislation
proposed by our great President
which has stood the test of his criti-
cal eye. He has assaulted the Will
son measures at every opportunity.
He has assailed the President on
every occasion He has referred to
Mr.. Wilson as another Huerta, an
other dictator My friends, the
Senator, when he approves the trade
bill, is proving that he
is hearing from his friends at home.
He is searching cover. He is finding
out that the people are with the
President and that they will not see

test. To many of us it seems
strange that Mr.. Cummins, preach
ing the doctrine of progress, has
never been able to find in this pro-
gressive administration bills worthy
of his vote, while other republicans,
forced by pressure at home, have
voted continually for the Wilson
Judge Wade declared that Con-
gresham Connolly, "the energetic
and finely educated young business
man., and John T. Hamilton, "a bus
mess man of the best class" formed
a great team to draw to, and he be-
lieved mat when November rolls
around, the State of Iowa, which has
suffered so much from poor legisla-
ton and bad government, will reg
lister it's approval of the entire demo-
cratic ticket. The Cedar Rapids Ga
zette, independent in politics, adds
good word for Mr.. Hamilton,
favcring his election as "non-par-
tisan governor, holding the state
sorely needs him.
