nomic condition that denies our right
to be on the earth until we make
bargain with some earth owner to
grant us the privilege of staying here
for a price. If we would prosper we
must bow the knee, and, if, prominent
enough to attract notice, lie and steal
to plaCate the mOnOpOlies that have
the power to force US off the earth.
All this would not be worth writ

dUces unemployed men who have the

ignorance could be replaced by the
knowledge that is easily acquired,
they would prefer to listen to Miss
Adams and other people who could
advise them to resort to other means
than fighting policemen who are as
ignorant of human rights as them

A wrongful system of taxation that
robs labor of most of it's earnings
when it works and a system of land
ownership that denies the right of
people to be here on earth is the
primal cause of poverty and unem-

ATTIcA's MYSTERY SOLVED.
Boys Explain Secret Of Sudden APP
pearanos Of Huge Hole il Earth.

Boys Explain SeCFet OF Suooeu AP-
pearaHoe Of Huge Hole il Earth.
Attica, Dec. 2S.-The great Attica
mystery has been solved.
Some weeks ago residents OF this
town and vicinity were startled to learn
that a huge hole in the earth had APP
peared just west of the town limits.
The hole was seventeen feet long. eight
feet wide and five feet deep.
All sorts of theories were offered in
the way of explanation. One was that
somebody had found the secret hiding
place of buried treasure and had ex-
cayated for the long lost wealth-an-
other was that tablets bearing secrets
of the Mormon church had been buried
there years ago in the long Mormon
trek westward and had just been dug
up: still another was that meteor
had fallen from the sky and torn the
big hole into the earth.
Altogether the hole furnished con-
siderably more than a seven days
wonder for folk around here. And then
the explanation came.
Some of the boys of the town, desir-
ing to have secret meeting place
during the winter, had dug the hole
and intended to roof it over. The hole
was found before the youngsters could
put on the roof and either fearing pun
ishment or enjoying the amazement of
their parents, they had kept silent
about it.

Black Standard Bred Team Taken--No
Trace Of Thieves.
Shenandoah, Dec. 2S.-Thursday aft
ernoon at about 3 o'clock J. b. Har-
lan's team of black standard bred driv-
ing horses were reported stolen and no
trace of them has yet been found.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harlan had driven over
from their home in sJorwich to do some
Christmas shopping, and, leaving their
team at the hitch posts just east OF
Gass &. buttons store, proceeded about
their business.
They found, on returning to the place
where they left their team, that the
horses were gone.
Ed Boydston was notified immedi-
ately, and just as Mr.. Boydston was
ready to leave, there came report
from c. r. Draper, southeast of Shen-
andoah, reporting the team had been
driven past his place.
With Debbs Nye as driver, Mr.. Har-
Ian and Mr.. Boydston started but
found to their disappointment, that the
black team reported was a heavy team
driven from Shenandoah to Coin by a
drunken man. who was whipping the
horse all Of the way.
Later reports came that the lost team
had left town on Maple street. turning
east on the Nishna road and travelling
east a few miles, went north one mile
and then east again, passing the
Fischer farm four miles east of the Wa
bash. The farmers reported a black
driving team white with foam, travel
ing eastward.
Had Mr.. Boydston known that the
team had travelled eastward instead of
southwark. the officers could have run
the thieves down by automobile. How
ever. the time lost in tracing the
drunken man was just enough to allow
the thief ample time to make his get
away.

Waterloo. Dec. 28.-That there is an
awakening Of consciences among prop
erty holders Of the county is apparent
from the anonymous contributions
which have been received by County
Treasurer w. J. Burbank
few weeks ago Mr.. Burbank re-
ceived four crisp $40 bills from a

anonymous letters containing remit
tances. One enclosed $40, with the
curt note: Taxes, with interest,"" the
other $50 from an unidentified party
who wrote: Please place in county
treasury. Could not afford to pay

It is surmised that the person who
sent the twenty dollars is the one who
recently contributed $40 to the con-
scious fund. The brief message in
each letter appears to have been writ
ten by the same individual.

Tama, Dec. 2S.-Tama's new school
building, recently completed at a cost
of more than $4,000. was seriously
damaged by fire, smoke and water at
an early hour this morning. The main
floor of the three-story structure suf-
fered most, and it will be some time
before all the rooms can be made ready
for school purposes and classes re-
sumed.
The fire Is believed to have started
from defective electric wires and prob
ably smoldered all night. AS this is
vacation time there was only suffi-
cient fire in the furnaces to keep the
temperature above the freezing point.
Last evening the basketball team
met in the gymnasium for practice,
and at that time the boys thought
they detected the smell of burning
varnish. The fire was not discovered
until shortly before s o'clock this
morning, however, an hours time was
required before the seat Of the blaze
was located. The Toledo firemen were
summoned to assist the local company.
The walls are badly damaged by smoke
and water and some may have to be re-
plastered. The floors are water-soaked
and will have to be relaid. The board
is meeting today to plan for con-
tinuance of school work, and it may
be that some Of the grade rooms can
be put in shape for immediate use.
The loss is estimated between $4,000
and Sc, 900, but may exceed this sum.
The building was formally opened for
school purposes last fall, and is one
Of the most modern in the state.
Officers of the Iowa Railway and
Light Company wired donations of $50
to each of the Tama and Toledo fire
departments in appreciation of their
good work.
