throughout the state is manifest in
the candidacy of j. A. o. Preus fo1
the office of state auditor. Mr.. Preus
announcement was made public Tues
day.
Mr.. Preus, who is at present state
insurance commissioner, has long
been mentioned as a possible candi.
date for state auditor, and it is con.
coded that he will make strong rur
for the office. His opponent at the

ATTRACTIONS FOR THE FAIR.
Officers Are Already in the Field
Looking Up Attractions for This
Years Fair.

That the Winneshiek county fair
this year is going to be a hummer
there is no doubt. On Sunday night
Mr.. E. j. Curtin, who is on the exc
for Chicago to attend meeting of
State Fairs of America, which meets
there this week to arrange for their
vaudeville programs at the differ
ent state fairs. Officers of all the
state fairs will meet there with prac-
tically all of the vaudeville manag-
ers of the country. While in Chicago
Mr.. Curtin has arranged to meet Ben
Bear, on his way back from New
York, and together they hope to get
some good attractions for the Win
neshiek County fair, which will be
held this year on Sept S-9-1O-11.
Starting this early to book attrac-
tons means that the people of Win
neshiek county and surrounding ter
ritory will be given fair in DEBORAH
this year second to none in the coun-
try. The officers will leave no stones
unturned from now until fair week
to get the best in all departments
This year they will ppt on a high
class racing program, with some OF
the best horses obtainable. No mo-
ney will be spared in getting attrac.
tions, and when the fair of 1914 is
over we feel that those who attend
ed will say that they all got their
moneys worth. The fair is a county
proposition, and every man, woman
and child in the county should be
interested in it. From now until
fair week let's all whoop her up fol
the best county fair in the state.

SOME BIG LAND DEALS.
John and Leonard Logsdon Have Ac-
qUiTed 666 acres OF Fine Farm
Land in Allamakee County.

Since the first of the year John
Logsdon has been making some
deals in farm lands which are wor-
thy of note. The first week in jan
uary he sold his farm of l69 acres,
in Springfield Twp, to julius Olson,
of Clermont, at consideration of
Sis an acre. This deal was closed
through Geo. p. Ode. Then Mr..
Logsdon went over into Allamakee
county and purchased a 200 acre
farm in Jefferson Twp, for which he
paid $4,000, or $115 an acre. He
will take possession of this farm
.arch /, 1914.
Last week Mr.. Logsdon traded a
zoo acre farm he had in Franklin
township, Allamakee county, for
466 acres in Paint Greek Twp. The
200 acres were valued in the deal at
sos an acre, and for which he paid
$34 an acre some three or four years
ago. So the 400 acres cost him
$4,000. Possession of the latter will
not be taken until March l, 1915.
The farm of 200 acres in Jefferson
Twp. and the 466 acres in Paint
Creek Twp, are five miles apart, and
give combined acreage of 666 acres
Leonard Logsdon, brother of John
who recently disposed of his half in
Aterest in the grocery firm of Logsdor
& Hogan to his father, has purchased
half interest in the 666 acres, and
will work them with his brother
For good many years the LogsdonF
have enjoyed the reputation of rails
1 ing fine blooded stock, horses, cattl,
sheep and hogs. And last, but no
least blooded dogs. John Logsdor
has one of the finest breeds in tn,
country and enjoys ready sale fol
all of them.
The boys are hustlers, and ar,
possessed of excellent business judg
ment, know how to farm from A t.
Il, and there is no question but tina
they will make good with capita
G in the operation of their big farm

Back From Trim ON Road

Alderman John O'Neil returned
home Wednesday from a trip on the
road in the interest of Nicols, Dean
and Gregg, hardware firm of St.
Paul. Mr.. O'Neil's route took him
into the Eakotas where it was 4 8 de-
grees below zero, and where most all
the trains were stalled in the snow,
and away late on their schedules. At
ter the completion of his route, Mr..
O'Neil decided he had enough of that
particular part of the country, and
when he goes out again, it will be
over somewhat different territory,
where the mercury doesn't drop en-
tireIy out of sight.

Loss of Appetite.

Is the first signal of disorder and
decay. The usual loss of appetite
is often caused by functional distur-
Dances in the stomach! The stomach
fails to do the work required, the
appetite is gone, and the body suf-
fers from lack Of nourishment. Such
a stomach needs to be cleaned and
sweetened. Meritol Tonic Digestive
is made especially to assist the stom-
ach to digest food, and promote a
healthy appetite. This remedy is
sold on our positive guarantee, and
we ask you to give it trial. 1t Is
a genuine tonic. e. j. Parman. Sole

In the University of Iowa the
Methodists led in the student body
with 302, the Presbyterians came
second with 1872, and the Catholics
third with 1874. The congregational,
Lutheran, Christian, Baptist, and
Episcopal churches followed in the
order named In the list of prefer
ences were found one follower OF
Mohammed, one Hindu, one Budd-
hist, and one Positivist. An analy-
sis OF the occupations of the parents
of the students of this one college
show that most of the undergradu-
ates are the sons and daughters of
farmers. The parents of 1856 stu
dents follow agricultural pursuits.
OF the remainder the fathers of 176
were merchants, while so came from
the professions medicine, dentistry,
and law.

Why Men Of 40 Die.
From tho Neu, Ynrir Herald

The Canadian minister Of finance,
discussing before The annual meeting
of life insurance presidents on Thurs
day evening in New York the question
Of deaths in middle life. touched the
heart Of III most serious medical
problem. Much has been said OF the
lengthening Of average human life by
medical advance, but 1t Se literally true
that the expectation Of life for those
of 40 ear of age n e is less thar
it was a generation ago.
The reason is not far to seek. Our
death rates a been greatly lowered
in recent years by the saving of the
lives Of weakling children in their very
early years. These. spared now grow
up to fall victims in early middle life
to ~degenerative diseases, premature old
age, kidney n heart troubles, greatly
reducing the expectancy of life among
adults.
The facts are a warning to those who
think that modern medical progress has
in any way heightened ordinary life.
There is. IL anything. more reason now
than ever for the exercise Of care In
the avoidance of excuses Of all kinds.
for there are many more In the popu-
lation less able to stand these than
there were when natures cruel. per-
haps. but effective mode Of lettering
the race by the elimination Of the DELI
cate children had not been disturbed
by medical science.

But If you simply can't and won't
have children. then find some other
splendid purpose. Adopt somebody's
else children!-or adopt an orphan asy-

Subdue yourself. devote yourself:
that is h law of happiness and deyel.

You can overcome evil with good.
You can overcome petty things with
love and good will. But the only way
to generate love and good will is BY
using 1T everyday in some good pur-
poseful work.
Probably the main thing with YOU IL
tnat you arc a splendid strong execu-
tive who needs plenty Of work. and YOU
are trying to lead instead a butterfly
existence on a flowery bed Of ease. Ex-

Busy Railroad Terminals.
From Engineering News.

The busiest railway terminal in this
country is. the South station of Boston.
which handles more trains, passengers.
baggage and mail in a day than any
other station. The largest railway sta
ton IN this country in point of size il
the recently complete Grand Central
terminal in New York city. These two
stations are at the termini of the New
York. New Haven & Hartford railroad.
which railroad shares the former sta
ton with the Boston & Albany rail-
road, and the latter with the New York
Central railroad. The total number Of
passengers in and out Of the South
station from July, 1912, to June. 1919.
exceeded $4,000, 900; the number in and
U Of the Grand Central exceeded o.
100000. Almost twice as many trains
are handled each day at the South sta
ton az at h Grand Central, but the
number of r a train Is greater at
the latter. In spite OF this tremendous
traffic, the passenger facilities of the
Grand Central are far from taxed: al
though at the present time about 62. 900
persons use 1t daily. when completed
the station will have capacity to handle
10000 an hour. Twenty-One tracks
have still to be completed at this sta-
ton, whereas at the South station In
Boston all the tracks are now In use.
with the exception OF the two suburban,
loop tracks. who's operation must
await classification.
