Should Control" Is the title Of a pa
per presented at recent meeting OF
the State Forestry and Horticultural
societies in Des Moines, by Irwin G.
Bode, son of Henry Bode OF Keokuk
The author is a student at the Ames
Industrial school, and received con-
siderable praise for the manner in
which he handled his subject. The
paper follows:
We have heard much during the
past week or two weeks OF the greater
Iowa; and It is with greater Iowa
In view that the following Is pre-
scented:
In taking up the subject. LANDS
that the state OF Iowa should control,
I should like to group those lands
into three classes: namely. those that
the state should control and manage
as a commercial proposition; those
which the state should control for pro
.tective purposes, such as conservation
OF stream flow, protection OF water
sheds. etc.; those which the state
should control for aesthetic purposes.
And. It is with this last class that
should like to deal in the present dis
cussfon.
I should like to state further that
do not care to include in the dis
cussion those smaller Iowa lakes and
areas which, in all probability. would
better be turned into agricultural land
and sold, but to include those lands
surrounding the larger bodies OF wat
or that Iowa ds using for pleasure re-
sorts and recreation purposes.
In bulletin No. 6 OF the Lake Oko-
boil Protective association occurred
the following: III public property is
to serve the public, to contribute TO
the welfare Of the people, It shall do
So only when It is conserved jeal-
ously as Is private property, and
when it is managed with the maxi.
mum skill and Judgment available.
This in brief way suggests the Oh.
tect OF the statements that follow, and
further the spirit in which they should
be viewed, that OF the public and the
people OF Iowa. not Of the private
owner.
Natural Beauty.
That there are areas within the
borders Of the state that are truly re
markable for their natural beauty
can hardly be doubted; and by faI
the greatest testimonial that we have
of this fact lies with the thousands Of
Iowa's people who visit those beauty
spots year after year. A report Of
the Okoboji association Of year OF
more ago places the population Of
West Okoboj, alone on the day OF the
census at 3,474. Now, when We con
slider the increase Of several years
and when we add the summer popu

CITY PARK DEDICATED

Last Friday afternoon and evening
large crowds of people gathered at
the city park to enjoy the festivities
arranged by the ladies of the " |. s.
for the dedication of that beautiful
play ground.
After short but impressive pro-
gram all were invited to join in the
many sports that had been arranged
for their amusement. The ladies had
provided enjoyment for young and
old and everyone had rollicing good
time.
The carnival feature surpassed any
thing of the kind ever seen in Black
foot and furnished a high class vau-
deville, dancing, boxing wrestling
program, namley furnished by home
talent. Many of those taking part
are deserving of special mention, but
as all did their parts most creditably
we retain from singing out the good
from the near good.
The kangaroo court added much
merriment to the eve ing and also
swelled the park improvement fund.
A large corps of V. |. S. policewo-
men patrolled the grounds to see
that none of the simple rules of the
park were broken, but there were
many offenders, however, their Or
ganization was complete and the
"hurry-up" wagon was kept busy car
rying prisoners Everyone brought
before his honor" plead guilty or
was found guilty and the judge, after
careful consideration of the serious
ness of the charge, the size of the
man and the size of his purse i'm
posed a fine-no fines were booked
and no offender was permitted tC
serve his time-the court was con-
Quoted on a strictly cash basis.
The M. W. A. band furnished
music for the afternoon and evening
and the orchestra furnished mlsic
for dancing.
The day was one of pleasure and
it is hoped the City park will in
the future be the meeting place and
playground of happy gatherings
Let's all give three long loud cheers
for the V. |. s. and the beautiful
park that stands as monument tt
their efforts.

MRS. T. A. STEWART
ACCIDENTALLY SHOT

On Monday evening while I. l..
Stewart, of Porterville, was preparing
to fire at a chicken hawk, and while
trying to extract what he supposed
was an empty shell in the gun, 1t
discharged and killed Mrs. Stewart,
who stepped into range at that in
slant. The shell was loaded with
shot, and a large wound resulted in
the region of the heart. She sank to
the floor and expired almost immiedi-
ately.
Mr.. Stewart was almost frantic
with surprise and grief, and it is said
that but for his children he would
probably have ended his own life on
the spot.
The funeral was conducted from
the Methodist church at Blackfoot on
Wednesday morning, and the remains
laid at rest in the Grove City ceme-
terry.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stewart have lived at
Porterville for number of years,
and have always been highly respect
ed and were very happy in their home
life

ALLER CONCERT
GREATLY APPRECIATED

The musical concert given by the
Aller Concert party at the Baptist
church last Saturday evening has
been pronounced the most enjoyable
event of anything that has occurred
in Blackfoot in the last year. The
evening was enjoyed so much the
party was asked to remain for the
following evening and give second
concert. The audience was more
than doubled the second evening.
In both evenings the entertainment
was of a very high character. Each
of the readings and musical numbers
was a sermon In itself. Everyone
wished that they might spend third
evening in Blackfoot on their return
trip. Their stay was so much appre-
ciated that at the close of the pro-
gram Sunday evening the young peo-
pie of the church gave them a recep-
ton as an indication of that appre-
tion.
The party consisted of Messers AL
Ter, Harper and Ward, and Misses
Howard and Beck, all Of the musical
department of a university in Nebras-
ka. They were on their way to tour
Yellowstone park. They will give
concert in Idaho Falls on their re-
turn trip next Monday evening.

EDITOR TANNER SPEAKS

The Blackfoot Republican is sure
ly some fighter. We admire more
and more the course of Editor Tre-
go. Nothing could be palmer than
that this editor, because of his in
was marked for slaught-
er. You cannot kill man off be-
cause of his independence and his
honesty. Every intrigue employed
against him will rise up to plague
the men who stood behind and di-
rected the nasty fight against him.
He is showing Judge Stevens up in
a most unsavory light. More
strength to his arm.-Filer Journal.

 OVER FOR A TRIAL.
Charged With Making Assault on Peter
 Leyden.

Albert W. Lemphere of Quaker Hill was bound over to the superior court Monday morning on the charge of as- sault and breach of the peace on Peter Leyden. also of Waterford. Bonds were fixed at s200 and they were furnished.
 Lamphere was arrested May 22 on the complaint of Leyden. The accused was presented before Justice of the Peace John J. Lawless and the case continued until Monday morning. The arrest followed a fight between Lam phere and Leyden in the rear of their homes in Quaker Hill.
 The complainant testified that he was called out of his house on the evening of May 21 by Lamphere, who lives next door, and controversy arose, as the result of which he was assaulted by the accused, breaking his nose, choking him and kicking him in the back while he was on the ground.
 Lamphere said that he called Ley den out and asked him why he had made the statement that the woman with whom he was living was not his wife and why he had said, You are in wrong with Mrs. Leyden," and ac- cusing him of being intimate with the compiainant's wife. In reply to the question Why did you assault Ley den?" Lamphere said that he had to because Leyden had tried to get "a towards ho1d."
 Leyden and Lamphere were the only witnesses.

 These Summer Days
Elfde Stomachs Get Oub of Order E.asilyt in Hot
 Weather.

During the hot months mothers should look very carefully to the con dition. of the bowels of babies and young children, and, for that matter, it is very important in the lives of people at all ages Care should be taken that the water is pure, the milk wholesome and the fruit ripe (though not over-ripe). and that not too much or anything is eaten,
 When trouble results it is usually in the form of constipation or of diarrhoea. If the child loses appetite, is fretful or languid, and complains of headache, you may look for con- situation. Give it a small dose of Dr. Caidwell's Syrup Pepsin at night on retiring. and by morning this pleasant laxative will have acted and the child will be its normal self again.
 At the first sign of a summer cold also give Syrup Pepsin, as the clean ing out of the bowels will usually be sufficient to break the cold. Summer diarrhoea can be stopped in the same Way py ridding the bowels of the pois- tns and germs that cause the trouble This opinion of the value of Syrup Pepsin is shared by thousands of people like Mrs. Ella Denzel, 124 Nichols Ave-, Stratford.
