IOWA SUPREME
COURT DECISIONS;

Des Moines, Nov. 25.-The supreme
court Tuesday rendered the following
decisions:
Amos Shriver, appellant VS.. ]. d.
Frawley, Iowa district, reversed.
Geo. A. Jewett VS.. w. S. Ayres,
judge, Polk district, certiorari action
to advance the saloon consent petition,
dismissed.
First National bank of Forest City

VS.. ]. Millslowsky, Polk district, af-
irmed.
w. w. Morrow, state treasurer, VS..
estate of Hanna H. Adams, Allamakee
district, affirmed.
State of Iowa VS.. l.. R. West, appel
liant, Polk district, stricken from
docket.
With three justices dissenting the
court ruled In favor of the state in the
case of w. w. Morrow, state treasurer,
VS.. the estate of Mrs. Hanna H.
Adams. This involved the collection
of collateral Inheritance tax. The
case was chiefly of interest owing to
it's age and that the constitutionality
of the collateral Inheritance law was
attacked. Mrs Adams died in Chicago
on August 6, 1904, leaving her estate
to collateral heirs. The estate was in
the form of notes and mortgages on
Iowa land, but the securities were
deposited in Wisconsin bank. Before
the death of Adams he conducted
loan business in Waukon. and the notes
and other papers were kept in the Wis
consin bank. The court holds that
Mrs. Adams was resident of Iowa
and that personal property is property
taxable in this state although temper
arily in another state. Justices Weav-
er, Evans and Gaynor dissenting.

KILLMER MAKES
A STATEMENT

Mason City, Nov. 24.-President A.
l.. Killmer of the Iowa State Druggists
association issued a statement Satur-
day regarding the alleged infringe
ment of the Sherman antitrust law, by
the druggists of Iowa, in the adoption
of the "N-A-R-D" price mark in making
up prescriptions.
Mr.. Killmer in commenting upon the
alleged infringement of the antitrust
law, said: There is no effort by the
National Druggists association to raise
and keep prices at certain general
level. Each prescription is compound
ed and the constituent drugs which
make it up are figured separately in
arriving at the price when it is first
filled. The druggist charges reason
able Sum for compromising the drugs.
The work of accounting this price is a
Job in itself. Every druggist must go
through this extra work, which takes
up his time with the customer, unless
there are some means of designating
the cost Of prescription to the next
druggist who fills the order
Customers have a curious habit of
suspicion. One druggist fills prescrip-
1IOE anu SAoi Scs ollSnIly le2S VI Iole
1t is almost impossible for a man to
judge exactly and no two conclusions
of price are equal, excepting in we'll
known work.
"No one needs follow the price mark
It is simply method of giving general
satisfaction to customers. 1t means
the same as the merchant who adver-
tises one price to all. There is no in
tention Of raising prices and keeping
the rank and file of druggists in line
The mark is PHARMACIST can
be read by any druggist and used if he
desires. There is no compulsion. This
agitation is not new; it has been
brought to notice before. We have
ment for a considerable time"

heard one of the reporters
tell a couple of fellows a few
things today-bleeve me, he read
it to 'em right. They had come
to town and got few drinks and
then they got in a place where
there was some kind of a row
raised, and the police came in and
got the names of all that was
there. These fellers was afraid
their names was goin' to be pub
lished-and the city editor told
'em they would be if the case
come to trial. They begged like
kittens. The older man said he
didn't want his family to find out
about it, and the young Teller, he
sed he didn't care fer himself but
it would break the hearts OF his
mother and father if they knew
what he had done. The reporter,
he just give 'em the frozen face
and sez, PUT the soft pedal on
that kind of stuff to me. L heer
that too often. What some of you
pinheads that think you're smart,
hev got to do, is to think about
yer family connections before We
cit gay, instead of after. I'm not
to blame because you fooled some
woman into Margin We, or be-
cause We hev a father'n a mother.
You ought to hev sense enough to
remember some of these things
yourself and not come around
here begin me to protect We. If
We need a guardian why don't We
apply to the district court and
ask the judge to appoint some
one to look after We. Just go and
tell the judge that We are not cap
able of takin' care of yourself and
that We need help-maybe he'll
pity ye-I don't. Now git out!'

HOLIDAY ORIGIN
TRACED FAR BACK
THANKSGIVING DAY OBSERVED
BY GREEKS AND ROMANS IN
ANCIENT YEARS.
STARTED BY COLONISTS
Feasting Of Pilgrims at Plymouth
Started Observance of Day in
America; Decreed by Wash
ington.

Thanksgiving day as annually OBJ
served in the United States is an
American institution, although days of
Thanksgiving in recognition of special
mercies have been common to all
Christian nations for centuries, histor-
ians say. It is said that the United
States cannot claim any originality for
the Institution, for the ancient He
brews kept their feasts of thanksgiving
with great rejoicing and religious cere-
monies. These feasts were held after
harvest time and in the thanksgiving
proclamations the people were COM
manded to take holiday, to feast and
rejoice.
The ancient Greeks held a feast
closely resembling that of the Jews.
Their feast continued nine days and
was called the Feast of Delmeter, in
honor of Delmeter, goddess of the corn
fields and the harvests.
The Romans observed a harvest fes-
was as ancient as the reign of Romu-
lus. The English long have celebrated
their harvest home day, which is spent
in dancing on the green and with
sports. At night great blazing bonfires
are built and great quantities of home
brew ale are drunk.
Pilgrims Observed Day.
The Thanksgiving day of the pill
grims at Plymouth was the beginning
of the observance of day of thanks
giving in America. These people had
been accustomed to fasting and the
Feast OF Hunger" given them on the
evening Of their departure from Hol-
land was found not sufficient.
In the fall of 1921, after the men had
gathered their crops and the cold
weather had brought an abundance of
game, Gov. Bradford of the Massa
chusetts colony. directed that an OBJ
servance of day of Thanksgiving be
held on December 13 He sent four
hunters to procure game and they
came back well loaded with turkeys. as
well as other game 1t is said that
from this fact came the almost univer-
sal custom of providing turkey for
the THANKSGIVING dinner.
The fourth Thursday in November
is now annually set apart as Thanks
giving day by proclamation Of the pres
ident and of the governors of the vari-
GUS states The day is observed with
religious services in the churches and
in New England states as an occasion
for family reunions.
Decreed by Washington.
4 The first national observance was
when President Washington recon-
mended Tuesday. November 26, 1889,
to the people of the United States "as
day of public thanksgiving and pray
er to be observed by acknowledging
with grateful hearts the many and sig
nal favors of God" This was the first
observance of the day at the time of
month that present custom fixes.
In 1877 Thanksgiving day was first
officially noticed in New York state,
and by 1859 it's observance had spread
to twenty-eight states and two terri
tories. In 1863 President Lincoln made
his first proclamation naming the last
Thursday of November as a day of ma
tional observance. Since then there
has been no change. the last Thursday
in November being named in each
years proclamation.

JACK WAITE PLANS
NEW NINE WORK
MURRAY COMPANY PLANS Elk.
TENSivE WORK CONNECTING
NEW AND OLD WORKINGS.

The Jack Waite Mining company
has planned extensive work for the
coming season and, taking advantage
OF the good sleighing, the company's
teams have been busy during the past
two weeks hauling lumber, mine and
boarding house supplies to the mine
The work being finished, everything
about the mine necessary for work
with full crew of men will have been
done. AS soon as sufficient water for
power is available, probably during
the first week of April, the crew will
be put on, and development will be
pushed
1t Is the intention of the company
to drift on the vein in the lower tun-
mel, which Is now 5000 feet long, to
run raise of 435 feet to connect with
the upper tunnel, which is 1900 feet
long. This raise when completed will
give the lower and upper workings
splendid ventilation, and also gives
promise of good ore bodies being un,
covered while the work is being done.
1t is believed that the main ore body
in the mine lies about 800 feet beyond
the present face of the tunnel and the
result of this seasons work will be
awaited with interest.

The Shoshone county commissioners
have made great advances in road
building throughout the county in re-
cent years and are to be commended
for their progress. The old haphazard
system Of patching old pieces Of bad
road is being abandoned as fast as
possible and the system now is for
economy along large lines, by estab-
fishing permanent grades and surfac
ing with good material. and doing away
with all unnecessary crooks and turns
bridges and railway crossings. The
commissioners are also looking to the
proper drainage of the roads, having
purchased a carload Of iron culverts
The auto truck is also another innova-
ton that is expected to cheaper the
cost of good road building. Truly, we
are progressing.

FIRST COPPER ORE PRODUCT
FROM THE NATIONAL MILL
PROCESS VERY SATISFACTORY TO MANAcEMENT-UsE
IDEAS IN GRINDING oRE-ALso FLoTArIoN
n.y. METHoDs-RcH PRODUCT

chimes at the shallow end the air Is
forced into the material through the
blanket" in each compartment, caus-
Ing an agitation that raises the ore
material to the surface in a greasy
foam, where it spills over the sides
into the ore discharge. The waste
material passes on down the steep
grade of the blanket" and into the
waste discharge. The product from
these 8 machines Is retreated in two
similar machines on the next floor be-
low, from where 1t passes to a big set
ting vat on the lower floor, which al
so receives the table product, and
thence into a huge Kelley filter press,
manufactured by the Gallagher Ma
chinery company Of Salt Lake. From
the filter press the ore is dumped in a
trough on two screw conveyors, which
transfer 1t to the loading floor to
system Of hot pipes, where the re-
mainder Of the moisture Is taken out
before the ore Is loaded for shipment.
A horsepower motor furnishes pow
err for this press. This floor Is also
furnished with a huge Gouds pump,
driven by 10 horsepower electric mo-
tor, and which receives the clear wa
ter from the filter and returns 1t to
the top Of the mill for reuse.
The first ore product made by the
mill will probably run from 20 to 80
per cent copper with good silver val
les and 1t is expected that an extrac-
ion Of from rs to so per cent will be
made
