answering the complaint OF one w. j.
Woodward. hailing from Lewis, Ia.
This article appears under the caption
Dead Set Against Foreigners" but in
reality this gentleman appears TO be
worked up over the fact that the present
president. like that OF two former presi-
dents. has seen tit TO veto a bill that to
his understanding would work a hard
ship on many deserving people should IL
eventually become law.
At this inopportune time when the ma
jority of our people are clamoring for
peace II behooves our friend from Lewis
70 stir up strife between two or more
classes OF good citisens who may have
slight differences in their religious be-

Such sentiments as expressed by Mr..
Woodward have no place in America.

otherwise dissatisfied people OF the world

BOARD SH0RN
Of ITS POWER
CITY cOMMIsSl PASS Or
DlNANCE THIS MORNING RE-
PEALlNG ORDINANCE NO. ia,
WHICH CREATED BOARD.

This morning the city commission
ers met in called session and passed
and ordinance which will take the
power now enjoyed by the cemetery
board, out of its hands, and places
it in the hands of the mayor and city
commissioners, to approve or dis
approve all appointments.
Ordinance No. Ia, which created
the cemetery board, gave them prac-
tically the same privileges of admin
istering the affairs of the cemetery
as enjoyed by the park and library
boards. Some friction has arisen late
ly over some appointments made by
the board and also from a request
OF the mayor and commissioners as
to how the money appropriated, which
was made available by taxation by the
last legislature, was to be spent.
This engendered some feeling which
resulted in the members of the board
refusing to meet with the commits
sioners yesterday afternoon for a
discussion of the matter and the ac-
ton of the commissioners this morn
ing was the result.
The new ordinance, which is effect
i've today. as it bore the emergency
clause, places the board under the

The Game Is Not for Man Alone.

The intelligence that appears to per
wade the organic world and that
reaches its conscious expression in the
brain of man is just as manifest in all
the forms of animals and plants that
are inimical to HMM all his natural
enemies-venomous snakes and beasts
of prey, and insect pests-as in any
thing else. Nature is as wise and So
licitous for rats and mice as for men.
In fact, she has endowed many of the
lower creatures with physical powers
that she has denied him. Evidently
man is only one of the cards in her
pack, doubtless the highest one, but
the game is not played for him alone.

Eat Necessary TO Health.

Fat. even in considerable amounts,
is not a sign of disease more than
once in a hundred times. and is never
a cause of disease. On the contrary,
fat is one of the wholesomest, most
necessary and most useful tissues in
the body. No tissue, not even the
most energetic muscle, or the most
chemically active liver or kidney cell,
or most delicate nerve cell or sense
organ can possibly be healthy without
fat And the more vitally important
and valuable an organ is, the more
certain it is to carry a constant stock
of fat in its substance, as a margin Of
reserve

COTTON IS
INJURED BY
HEAVY RAINS
WHEAT AND OATS ARE PRAcTl-
CALlY MATUREO AND WILL
SOON BE READY TO HARVEST
MORE WET WEATHER.

The protracted rains have caused
some damage to crops in this section
especially has cotton suffered, while
wheat and oats are also hurt in some
localities. The wheat and oat crop
will be ready to harvest within a
short time, and if the rains continue,
which one famous weather prophet,
whose advice is followed by at least
one successful farmer in this county,
predicts showers until after August
!, and judging the future by the
past, his predictions will come true.
The wheat crop is practically made,
although there is still some slight
damage from rust. This is not gen
eral however, and will represent but
a very small per cent of the acreage
in this county. Corn is looking well
as well as other forage crops and
the acreage of these is materially
increased this season, with cor
responding decrease in the cotton
acreage.
Cotton is not doing well. The pro
tracted rains and continued cool
weather are not conducive to grow
ing cotton, which Is primarily a hot
weather plant. This accounts for the
poor stands in many localities, but
even at that cotton growers are pre-
dicting that a record-breaking crop
will lie made In this county, as there
is sufficient moisture in the ground
now to make the crop.
1t has been several years since
.here has been the season in the
ground that there is at the present
time. The total rainfall for the year
to date has been 1897 inches, by
months. as follows: January 1.53;
February 2.31; March 2,77 April 6.52;
May to date, 5.S4. Total 1897 inches
The average annual rainfall for this
locality is about 80 inches. AS a
rule, the farmers are very optimistic
T in this section o: the state, and are
confident that they are going TO be
well repaid with abundant crops this
season for their labor The fruit crop
is immense and this item is going to
be the source of considerable revenue
in this locality. The growers have
organized and are preparing to mar
ket the crop.
The tenant farmer in this county
is better provided for now than he
was a few years ago. The owners
are insisting that their tenants pro-
vide themselves with a sufficient gar
den for their use, and have encour-
aged the raising of sufficient hogs
for their meat, as we'll as keeping
poultry and mich COWS. This has
been pretty generally followed, with
the result that the tenant farmer does
not have to pay as many visits to
the store during the year as for
merly
