Back From Trip

Mr.. and Mrs. L. T: Larson and
family returned Tuesday evening
from their trip to Norway. Mr..
Larson reports that they enjoyed
the visit very much but that
they were glad to return to this
country again. When the Lar
sons left Norway they did not
know that European war was
about to be declared and the first
they heard of it was when near
ing the American coast when a
message was received by wire
less stating that war had already
been declared.

Violated Ordinance

Charles Walkush, proprietor of the
Red Light saloon at Ashland, has
the distinction of being the first per-
son arrested for not living up to the
city ordinance in regard to selling
liquor on Sunday.
Walkush was arrested Monday for
selling liquor from his residence, and
the police have in their possession a
bottle of whiskey and bottle of beer
which one John Harbeck claimed to
have purchased at the Walkush home
Sunday.
Harbeck claimed that he spent
about five dollars in a room above the
Red Light Sunday, the money going
for intoxicants. He did not like
losing this amount of money for the
amount of beverage consumed and
made kick to the police depart
ment. The police when they heard
his story asked him if he could get
more booze and he said sure. He
then went down and returned with a
bottle of whiskey. They then sent
him back and he returned with a
bottle of beer. With this evidence
in their possession a warrant was
issued for Walkush.
The police claim that there were
several more suspicious cases during
the past two weeks and that there
will be other arrests for breaking the
city liquor ordinance in regard to
selling liquor on Sunday Ashland

went down to defeat at the hands
of the Odanah team on the
grounds in this city last Sunday
afternoon. The score at the
end of the contest was s to 3.
Several of the runs made by
the Odanah team were the result
of errors on the part of Wash
burn players, q number of the
members of the team playing a
rather loose game.
Washburn did not score until
the seventh inning, although
they had an excellent chance to
score during their half of the
fifth inning when the bases
were full with no men out. 1t
was here three of the heavy
stickers for the Washburn team

ON SEED CORN
Utmost Importance That Iowa Grow
Greatest Corn Crop Next Year
Good Seed Much Concern
SEED SUITABLE TO LOCALITY
Northern Iowa Farmers Do Not Sell
Much No. and No. Corn-Tco
Much Attention to Size

1t is of the utmost Importance that
we in the corn belt grow the greatest
crop of corn possible next year. We
failed last year to grow enough corn
to meet our home requirements, and
imported quite largerly from the Ar
gentine: and this when we had in
store a very large amount of corn car
ried over from the bumper crop of
1912. when the yield was reported at
3,124,000.000 bushels. Last year the
government reported yield of 2,446,-
100000 bushels. Notwithstanding the
amount on hand from 1912, and with
none of this years crop as yet drawn
upon, the price in Chicago October
5th) is 81 cents. This year the gov
ernment estimates the crop at 1876
100000. which estimate we believe is
at least 200,0o0,000 bushels too high:
and when husking time comes there
will be no store of old corn to draw
upon, and We shall again he importing
from the Argentine.
The magnitude OF the corn crop of
1915 will depend on a number of con-
ditiOnS. some of which are under our
control and some not. The available
fertility of the soil, which has been
lessening gradually for fifty years. un-
til farmers in Iowa are growing less
corn per acre on their high priced land
than they did i'll the eighties on low

1t was three weeks ago today ~
That first we heard the allies say.
Tomorrow morning you'll have
How Won Kluk's right flank has been
turned" Nv
Somehow tho turning movement
stuck; 't'H ps'E
He didn't bulge, did Herr Won Kluck.
A few days later word from Paris
Announced that two new corps would
harass
Won Kluck's right wing, and rank by
rank
Maneuver round and turn his flank.
But these new corps had rotten luck:
It's no dead cinch to turn Won kluck.
A week went by when we were glad
To get cable from Petrograd.
1t said Won kluck's communication
Was threatened with annihilation,
But he stood pat and passed the buck:
He's got some flank, has Herr Won
kluck.
And all last week our headlines
whirled
With the various ways Won Kluck was
hurled"
Won Kluck's right flank was being
pounded
Won Kluck's whole army'd been sur
rounded;
The hour for turning that flank had
struck!
But the TANKS still there, and SOS
Won kluck,
So take your kaisers and princes and
gratis,
Your iron crosses and general STATS,
Your General Joffres and Sir John
Trenches,
With all their men in the shelter

I'll take for mine that game old buck
Who won't be turned-ja, Herr Won
kluck.

use OF LINCOLN
Way IS SHOWN
Seven Ton Truck Makes Trip Over
Lincoln Highway and Demon
strates Advantages of Way
TRIP IMPOSSIBLE YEARS AGO
improvements Made in Past Year
Make Lincoln Way the Safest and
Best Transcontinentai Road,

If there is anything bad about a
road seven ton truck will bring it
out. Mud which will bear up a lighter
car will engulf truck, with such
load, up to the hubs; bridges which
are safe enough for ordinary traffic
cave in when fourteen thousand
pounds of steel and wood rumble
over them, and the driver of such a
car can not be expected to take the
same cheerful view Of any minor road
difficulty which would be taken by
the pilot of lighter and less bulky
vehicle.
This makes the statement of w. r.
McCulla, road engineer and driver of
the seven ton experimental truck
which just recently completed $500
mile trip over the Lincoln highway,
all the more impressive. ~
McCulla drove from Detroit, Mich,
to San Francisco, striking the Lincoln
highway at South Bend and following
it to the Pacific coast. He had crossed
the route many times before and says
that the improvements effected dur
ing the past year have been wonder
full and that the amount OF work now
going on is truly remarkable in the ag-
gregate, when the fact that the Lin
coin highway is but one year old is
considered.
"A trip of the kind | just COM
pleted would have been absolutely i'm
possible year ago." said McCulla, in
Detroit recently. "In 1913 no seven
ton truck could have gotten over half
way on it's trip to the Pacific coast.
The improvements which the localities
along the route of the Lincoln high
way have made this year make it I'M
questionably the best and safest trans
continental road. Why, in Iowa there
is not single stream which is crossed
by the Lincoln highway where they
are not putting up a new bridge of
either concrete or steel. AS for the
marking. it is absolutely impossible
for man with eyes to lose his way"
McCulla also commented on the
beauty of the route, which he says has
not been dwelt upon sufficiently in
the past. People have talked and
thought SO much about the, road sur
face an dthe grades, the markings and
the Improvement generally, that they
have lost sight OF the wonderful
scenery to be enjoyed on a trip over
the Lincoln highway. believe that
if some of our eastern tourists knew
what they We're missing by combining
their tours to that country east of
the Missouri river. there would be q
solid stream of automobiles from Chi
cago west all summer. The trouble is
that people do not realize the scenic
wonders to be enjoyed along the Lin
coin highway"

"rhere is but one way in which the
United States can occupy an independ-
ent position says the Philadelphia
North American. There is no magic
wand that can bring into immediate
existence an industry that is needed
when the day of crisis comes. TO be
of real value and Importance an in
dustry must be matter OF growth,
steady and sure. 1t must proceed by
slow steps, but those steps always for
ward. 1t must come by means of the
encouragement Of tariff duty that
will equalize manufacturing condition
and costs here and abroad. That is
the policy of protection and the fol-
lowing of that policy is the one and
only road to industrial independence
of the United States.

The balance of trade!" What does
it mean? When the balance OF trade
is in our favor. gold is coming to us.
When it is against us, our gold is go
ing TO foreign nations. For four
months this year We have had bal
ance of trade against us of over TWEEN
ty million dollars. Under the repub-
lican tariff law. the balance in our
favor was over three hundred million
dollars for the first seven months of
1913. For the first seven months of
this year the balance fell off to less
than sixty millions.
