boosting the Hawkeye state, declared
Governor Clarke, the first speaker, who
aroused the enthusiasm of the dele
gates to point where they were ready
to back any project for exploiting
Iowa. He said that the state is losing
population to other states whose re-
sources do not compare with those of
Iowa
1--WE need publicity and we need adj
vertising," said Governor Clarke. 1--WE
have not the Iowa spirit that we ought
to have. There should be no jealousies
between cities. What makes one city
great helps the state as whole. We
can make Iowa still greater by coop
Grafton. Other states have taken away
citizens from Iowa by exploiting things
not half as great as those we have"

Selling Liquor Dangerous.
Persons who engage in the liquor
business in Iowa do so at their peril
the Iowa supreme court declared in
rendering an opinion in the case of
C. c. Milhiser, appellant, VS.. A. w.
Gandrup. The case originated in
Clemens, Marshall county. Gandrup is
druggist who sold whisky upon prop
err application, but he failed to make
4 complete record Of the sales. The
supreme court reversed the district
court and held that carelessness In
keeping the records is not sufficient
excuse for escaping the penalty
The court says: "Appellee's counsel
say that the violation of the law was
technical and that defendant is not
shown to be law breaker, We did
not make the law and II is not our
function to ignore 1t or set It aside
by judicial construction. One who
sells liquor in this state, does so at
his peril, and he must see that all OF
the provisions authorizing the sale are
compiled with. The law is prohibitiye
herIe no other criminal intent need
be khown than failure to comply with
itstproyisions."
