Tabernacle Meetings Arouse Wide In
<arnct
tereSt.

There may be some folks in and
around Cresco who have not Weakened
up to the fact that something unusual
is going on in our midst, but they are
not many. All paths lead to the tab
ernacle and the crowds are finding
them and following them. Such sing.
ing and such preaching, and such un-
stinted effort to be of service to q
great community must compel atten-
tion and appreciation from every loyal
citizen of our community. 1t is not
members for any church or churches
that is sought, but to bring the light
of Gods truth 50 plainly to hearts and
lives that it will lead them to invite
Jesus Christ to help them to live the
clean wholesome before God and man.
The extra service held Monday night
proved to he great one in interest
and attendance. The Evangelist com.
pleted in a most telling way his treat.
ment of the Ten Commandments.
Tuesday night the choir rose to high
er pitch in its enthusiasm than ever,
and rendered some great music. with
fitting climax in the sweet and touch.
ing duet sang by Mrs. Abbot and Prof.
Vessey. 1t was great. Evangelist
Mathis preached telling sermon on
how the Devil puts it over on folks and
hooks them up with his schemes to
their eternal loss. 1t was packed full
of practical and wholesome truth.
Wednesday morning at ten O'Clock
there were over eighty people in the
various cottage prayer meetings, q
splendid number for the first day
These will be held four days of the
week, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
and Fridays, in the IA sections into
which the town has been divided. Find
one of these meetings and get in. It
was most inspiring sight at the Tab
ernacle Wednesday at o'clock to see
the children gather for their first SER
vice with Irene Mathis, their leader.
260 strong, and sing! my how they
did sing. Oh, it. was the real thing.
And by the way, these folks are going
to give US an evening as the Choir of
the meeting some of these nights, and
that will be worth your while to be
on bench and hear them. Watch for
the notice at the meetings. There are
great things in store for the rest of
the week and Sunday. There is some
thing doing all right. Big things for
Cresco. Watch and look in.

No Foot and Mouth Disease Here.

DR.. Button, the assistant state vet
erinarian, tells US that in all proba.
bility there is no foot and mouth dis
ease in the county.
Three herds have been under quar-
antine, two of them for the reason that
they contained animals which passed
through the Cresco stock yards at
about the time that bunch of feeders
from Chicago arrived from Chicago
consigned to Matt Larkin, of Albion.
The latter steers were shipped from
Chicago at about the time of the out
break of the disease in the stock yards,
and were under the surveillance of the
federal authorities. One steer in this
herd died and was buried before the
cause of its death1could be determined.
On this account and also as several of
the steers were sick with some sus-
picious symptoms, the herd was quar-
antined and DR.. Paxton, a gov.
eminent inspector was called. He
could find no definite cases
Of foot and mouth disease, but
advised continuance of quarantine for
a time. DR.. Button was out to the
farm, Wednesday, and reports no sick
ness among the cattle or other stock,
says the steers are looking fine and
gaining weight. and he believes that
10 true foot and mouth disease will
develop there. DR.. Paxton is expected
to return to Cresco soon to make
another inspection of the quarantined
farms.

A Kind Deed.

The axiom that "A friend in need is
friend indeed" was definitely demon.
strated few days ago, by a company
of men and women in and around Bon.
arr. Mr.. Young, who has been ill for
several weeks was the recipient of
their neighborliness.
He had large acreage of corn and
the neighbors felt it would be a priv
lege to show sympathy and kindly
spirit. SO voluntary invitation was
sent forth to all who would like to
join in husking bee to come on a
certain date to Mr.. Young's cornfield.
Ah".t forty men responded and good
~ number Of their wives entered into
it with zest by providing and serving
and serving most royal dinner for the
men at the Woodman's hall. They
prepared SO sumptuously of all the de.
lectables to tempt the mems appetites,
it is said there was sufficient to have
fed another crowd as large again, an.
other evidence of the generosity of the
Bonairites within radius Of four or
five miles. After dinner q number Of
the ladies offered to 60 into the field
and show their sprightliness at husking
corn which they did accordingly. A
few of the men went the second day.
When one is visited by mis- eortune.
and no one immune from it, it is fortu.
nate to be surrounded by kind neigh
bors and friends.

Obtained Office by False Pre-
tense.

Woodrow Wilson is making d good
President and we esteem him very
highly.
But we wish to indict Woodrow
Wilson and the Democratic party
for having obtained office by false
pretense.
The Democratic party, through its
speakers and its newspapers, pledg-
ed itself to the poor man to reduce
the cost of living. The main instru-
ment toward the reduction was to
be lower Tariff.
Behold, the lower Tariff has been
in operation several months and the
high cost OF living has not been re-
duced.
Has not the Democratic party been
guilty of cashing a politically worth
ess check?
The Democratic Congress has ap-
propriated $4,000 to make inquiry
in regard to the high cost of living,
while the suppOSitlon was tnat the
Democrats knew just what caused
the high cost of living.
1t was the wicked Tariff.
Wool is on the free list. Who is
buying his clothing any cheaper.
Cattle and hogs and all kinds of
meat are on the free list. Who is
buying his meat any cheaper? It is
true the farmers are selling live
cheaper, but the consumer
receives no benefit.
We shall have more to say on this
subject as time goes along.
Politics may be a great game. but
it is time to have it exposed to some
Moines Capital.

Thousands Are Out Of Jobs.

In the cities where the slaughter
ed Tariff was Going to slaughter Mr..
High Cost o Living, thousands are
out of jobs and the cost of living
is even higher than before. The Tariff
was not the cause of prices being
high, as the people have now found
out, but to slaughter and monkey with
the Tariff did have to do with jobs
that have been lost, and this, too,
the people have found out.-Upper

Candidates for matrmony were en-
pected to have a bill of health, both
in person and by hercdity. They
we're to be examined with more rigid
ity than an army physician applies
to recruit.
If man were an Apollo or a Her
cules in body and a dub in intellect,
he was considered to be an entirely
proper person to be a father of a
family.
The supreme court favored the in
tentions of the farmers of the bill up
to the point where they became crazy.
1t declared the law unconstitutional
because it was impossible of enforce
ment and that it interfered with the
whole scheme. of life and the method
of propagating the human race which
has existed since the days of Adam
and Eve.
Sex hygiene, eugenics and the like
had their beginnings in an entirely
laudable purpose, but the movement
was seized upon by faddists and ia
kers and sensationalists. The whole
movement drifted into false theory
because the end of the teaching was
not to prevent the sinful things from
which mental and bodily disease re-
suited but to prevent the conse-
quences of sin and vice.
Under the system one has to be
as vicious as one pleased, but the i'll
effects of the viciousness were to be
avoided.
Carried to its ultimate, the doc
trine placed premium upon reckless
indulgence i'm viciousness because
it removed the penalties for the prac-
tees.

Cheapest Of Claptrap and Dema'
g0gy.

Notwithstanding the Democrats
have passed their Tariff bill, and
that it has been in operation some
little time, the truth, according to
official statements issued by the De-
partment of Agriculture. is that the
price of food stuffs has to-day reach
ed the highest point in the history
Of this country. and the prospects are
that they are going. sill higher. f.,
The Democrats cannt hide behind
the statement that the Tariff bill
hOas not been in operation long enough
TO bring results. 1t has certainly had
effect in other lines. Like all Dem
ocratic Tariff bills, 1t has slowed
down business. 1t Is already operating
disastenously in the steel and rion.
the cotton and wool and shoe. and
other great branches of industry in
America.
Time is developing the fact that
the Democratic party has once asain
fooled another generation with the
high -cost- cry, and they
have fooled It badly. Already time
has demonstrated that the Tariff bill
is not solng to improve the hardships
put upon the American workingman
to provide himself and family with
the necessities OF life at the present
high prices. In fact. the Tariff bill
is going TO take away from him the
isg ding to take away from him the
TO work and earn.
The "bugaboo.' that the Tariff was
responsible for the hish cost OF liv-
ing has been exploded. II was the
cheapest kind OF claptrap and dema-
gogy.-Aanchester IN. H. Mirror.

such tolls as are provided by law.
