this nation should be handed his pass

conducted from our shores"

Senator Kenyon, commenting upon
President Wilson and the war, added:
president Wilson has handled the
foreign situation In an admirable man
ner. am not Of his political faith.
but must admit he has found the
duties Of the president Of the United
States harder to perform than any
other chief executive since Abraham
Lincoln, and he has acquitted himself
in q way to win the admiration Of all
American citizens. To keep our coun-
try out Of war was the main thing,
and feel that he has accomplished
that splendidly. feel It IL fortunate
for the nation that he Is the chief ex-
ecutive. rather than a certain expires
ident, whom I need not mention.

he feels it his duty to humanity. In
such a case, congress would back him
solidly.

Asked as to the Iowa sentiment in

this corn crop in Iowa 10 Just this: Il
we have fifty per cent Of an average
crop the frost must hold of until Oct.
Is, and we must have at least normal
weather; the point wish to make -
this, that most people are anxious to
make good showing from their part
Of the state, and over estimate things.
This works an injustice on the farmer
or producer as these things all have
an influence on the market and should
not be done. / have lived In Iowa since
1875 and for the last Twenty-Five years
have been engaged in the real estate
business, which takes me into all parts
Of the state / have paid very close at
tention to drainage, soils and cultiva-
ton Of crops: II some Of you central
Iowa people will 60 into your fields
and give them an honest examination
you will be surprised at the result. Go
on the low or level ground as we'll as
tho high and sandy soil. and you will
be surprised at the result.
The average person has very poor
memory. II you win Just stop to think
you will remember that each and every
year there is published q lot Of stun
sent out by the grain dealers associa-
ton, and by the board Of trade about
bumper crops. This Is continued until
the most Of each crop has been sold
to them. and, then they begin to hedge
and tell you it was all a mistake, that
the crop was away overestimated. Just
watch this once and see whether am
telling you the facts. Along about
February they will cut their estimate
OF this corn crop about fifty per cent
and then little later they will cut
1t about fifteen Or twenty per cent
more. and most of the people will have
forgot that they predicted bumper
crop. Why don't Our officials use just
a little common sense and appoint
some reliable man in each locality to
send in these crop reports instead OF
getting them from grain dealers. bank
ers and railroad employees. You farm
ers should look into this matter. as
you will find it to your interest to do
so.
Now want to 60 on record as say
ing that to take the state as a whole.

Grinnell Sept. 1.-THE Grinnell Fair
Association gots its final knock -out
blow for the fair Of 1915 yesterday
when ona Of the .hercest thunder
storms Of the year broke over the city
early and fairly deluged this vicinity.
Tho fair grounds were q swamp and
the race track was sea Of mud. All
hopes of any racing went glimmering
with that first downpour. But 1t did
not stop there. At frequent intervals
thru the day it poured again. The
afternoon was too rainy for any one to
go to the grounds for pleasure. It
seemed like q cruel blow from fate
for, despite all the previous rains, the
attendance had been surprisingly large
and q fair day Friday would have put
the association fairly on easy street.
Tho attractions have been so many in
number and so varied In character and
so excellent in quality that 1t involved
Large payments on the part Of the
management. The evening shows have
been crowded and this fact is all that
saves the association from bankruptcy
for this season. Considering the
weather the displays Of all sorts have
been surprisingly large and good. The
best vegetable display for a number
Of years was on and the same may be
said Of the floral display. Fowls were
Of fine quality tho restricted in number
and varieties. Cattle. horses and hogs
were excellent. The fastest Of the
races had been left to the last day and
then were lost by the rain. The
shuttle train has proved itself a neces-
sity for all fair occasions and the nisht
shows will probably become per-
manent feature Of all future Grinnell
fairs.

Des Moines, Sept. IA movement
has been started by democrats over the
state for the call of a general confer
ence Of dry democrats in the near
future with a declaration of purpose
to wrest the party from its previous
inclination along liquor lines. The sig
natures Of as many men of promi-
nence as can be reached will be sought
for the call.
The primary object Of the con-
ference will be to have the dry demo-
Gratis state their plans clearly and
above board, make choice Of the
standard bearers for the primary cam
paign, effect the best possible organi-
cation, give some individual or COM
mittee power to solicit and receive
funds and induce all members to get
busy.
Friendly to Marsh.
Democratic politicians say there is
a very friendly feeling in their ranks
toward w. w. Marsh, Of Waterloo, for
governor but serious situation, they
say, is confronting them, the solution
OF which transcends any friendships
which may exist among individual
members of the party. 1t is argued by
number of the leaders that il the
democratic party is to be of potential
service to the state in the next quarter
Of century. it must depart forever
from its liquor fetish, and do 1t now.
even tho individual friendships and
connections must be violated in order
to accomplish what they term a broad
er purpose.
See Peril in Delay.
Every days delay in putting forth
Gratis assert, makes their task more
difficult in that the forces who will be
arrayed against them are rapidly ad-
ding to their Notifications by obligat-
ing men to them who should be en-
listed in their cause.
Senator John T. Clarkson, of Abba,
who was active in the last legislature
in securing the repeale Of the mulct
statute, has been mentioned by the
democrats az q progressive candidate
for: the gubernatorial nomination, but
it is said he is not DESTROYS Of entering
the fight unless the wet faction Of the
party becomes especially active. Sena-
tor, Clarkson, II lis reported on good
authority, is favorable to Mr.. Marsh
who has not indicated that he will run,
providing Mr.. Marsh Is willing to come
out fiat footedly as champion of the
dry cause. a.s3rlo t, 80
The dry democrats say it is a prodi-
gious job they are about to undertake
and that the cards in the game are
stacked against them to start.
