When life flows along like a song.
But the man worth while
Is the man who can smile
When everything goes dead wrong
That's an old sentiment and every
one has heard it, but there are
might few people who are really
"worth While" Most OF us are indeed
all right when life flows along like a
song" but when our job is suddenly
withdrawn, and our shoes wear thru
and feel a sagging feeling under the
belt. and everything goes dead wrong"
we begin to cuss the world and hate
every fellow that looks as II he was
comfortable and well fed.
Occasionally, however, you see a
.man worth while " One dropped into
this office last Friday. His coat was
scanty-with no overcoat to cover the
thin spots. he hadn't shaved for a fort
night, his hands were grimy and
hunger had pinched much OF the nat
ural good humor out of his face.
He came in to be get few exchanges.
AS he asked for them, he smiled and
ioshed a bit about having plenty OF
time TO read nowadays. We sympa-
thized, but he only said. and laughed
as he said it. well. there's lot OF
folks worse off over the lake, guess.
It's bullet war there, and biscuit
war here" That's all the growl he had
and he probably hadn't had regular
meal for month.
Doesn't it make you feel a little
bit ashamed to think OF the times
this wintN that you have complained
because you didn't have new suit OF
new dress. or because YOU couldn''
have new car in the spring? 1t ought
to. 1t ought to make everyone IN
Mitchell county ashamed to complain
at all. For there is probably no sec
ton of the world more favored than
this little section of northeastern Iowa
No wars, no strikes. no earthquakes
no great Industrial depression, no croI
failures--just prosperity.
Don't whine. don't complain. Con
slider yourself the luckiest mortal the
sun ever dawned upon and thank
every day Of your life the: God that
permits you to.live in Mitchell county
Then, perhaps, II your luck ever does
turn the wrong way. you'll have the
stuff in you of. "the manor the woman
) worth WHILE"

AS TO WATER RATES.

The city attorney of Muscatine start
ed something in the direction OF water
rates when he presented to the city
council report charging that a profit
of l,oUO per cent Is made on water
sold to small consumers at thirty five
cents per 1000 gallons. and profit Of
100 per cent to the large consumer at
8 cents per thousand gallons. The at
torney contends that il the city of
Muscatine will reduce the rates so that
only reasonable profit shall be made,
the consumers, who own the municipal
water plant there, will be benefited,
but in addition enough more water will
be sold to make up the difference to
the city. In Muscatine so per cent Of
the possible consumers within the wa
ter district are using city water and
from others it is believed could be Sc
cured many more customers IL lower
rate can be put into operation.
AS TRIBUTARY TOWNS" THINK.
Mount Vernon Record.]
1t is interesting to know that the
present necessity for an open petit
ton for saloons in any city in Iowa
is "hard on the business men," That
| is the way the Cedar Rapids Gazette
puts it. But the fact is the patrons OF
the business men want to know how
! they stand on the saloon question. and
they have right to know. What is
more, the people OF Mount Vernon and
| every other town within radius OF
twenty-five miles or even farther want
to know and have a right to know who
in Cedar Rapids is for and who u
against the saloons. These towns dc
not have saloons and do not want
them, and do not want Cedar Rapids
to have them because the small towns
are called upon to share the curse o.
them. Consequently the residents o.
these towns are vitality interested 81
to what merchants in Cedar Rapid
seek to force the saloons onto thu
community at large against tnei
wishes. No, the saloon is not a mat
ter for a secret ballot. It is matte
for openly standing up and beint
counted.

$5,OOO to Lawrence J. Gill, proprietor Of the Belknap Tea Co. MT. Gill had been close friend and advisor of the deceased. It was no secret among the neighbors that Lawrence Gill would sbe handsomely remembered at the death of MT. Carroll Consequently when the will was admitted to prob bate it was no surprise to the neigh borS to hear that Lawrence had been ibequeathed $5,O0O; indeed many were surprised that he was not left a larger amount of the estate.
 There will be introduced by the de- fense a claim that the-deceased had
 often said that save for his brother Denis, of whose whereabouts he had no knowledge, he had no blood reIa- tives living.
 Mrs. Ellen Carroll of Newtown, wid- ow of the late Michael Carroll, of that place, took the stand yesterday. Her maiden name was Ellen Downs and native of Ireland. Came to this coun- Gtry in 1858 and located in .Newtown, where in September 1859 she married MicheaI Carroll. Her husband died two years ago. She has seven child ren, all living, Denis, Elizabeth, Sadie, Lucy, Anginette. Rose, and Frank. She said that the deceased Andrew had always referred to her husband as cousin" and would say that he twas glad to see that there are few of the old ones left-'' An adjourn ment sWas later taken until Thursday morning.

Hundreds of French
 Soldiers Get Pensions

Paris, Oct 27-*Our pension law will necessarily develop an import ance equal to those of the United States after the American Civil War" says Deputy Pierre Masse, reporter for the pensions committe of the chamber. Those laws,'' he adds, will carry such heavy appropriations as to exercise greater influence social and po1itical-than all the so- cia1 legislation of recent years
 Two important reforms are pro- posed in pension bills that the com nittee has reported favorab1y. The pensions of widows are to be increas- ed proportionately to the number of orphans and pensions will be granted to mothers for the loss of sons who were their main support
 The rates provided for the new law are from 563 franc ($112) for widows of private soldiers running from that figure through the various grades up to 5.25O francs ($1.05O) a year for the widow of a general of division; these figures being subject to increase in the case of orphans. If the soldier or officer died of wounds not received in battle or of disease contracted while on duty the pensions run from -375 francs ($75) to $500 francs STOOD a year.
 No statistics of the number of kill ed and n1aimed in the French army are available to the public but the in dications given by Monsieur Masse who knows, are to the effect that Frances pension burden will be heav- fer than that of the United States af- ter the Civil War.

Song "Mother Machree"
 Restores Soldier s Memory

London, Oct. 27-The word mother which saves lives and spares the honor of innocence in the me1odrama, has actually restored req son to a soldier in France, whose mind had been left a blank by shell shock.
 A concert party had gone over from England to cheer up the sick, and one of their number, well known tenor, sang the old favorite, Mother Machree." Among the audience was nerve-shattered soldier who come out of a bombardment not only blind but almost an idiot. He could under stand nothing, babbled meaningIessly and had to be treated like an infant He was still blind when taken to the concert. The word mother re- cured in the song and the soldier caught at it. When the song was fin ished. he was still muttering the word to himself. But ftp roved the key to his memory. He began to recall de- tached incidents about himself and later recovered both his mind and his sight.
 Singers visiting the hospitals say that the wounded like jolly songs, either absurd or of the o1d-fashioned rollicking kind. They have a partic- ular dislike for the purely patriotic song that has no humor in it.

AVIATOR DESTROYS FOES'
 CRAFT IN SKIES

Paris, Oct. 2S.-Sergeant Aviator s'G. G. who recently destroyed a German captive balloon and an aero plane on one trip, describes his double exploit in a letter received by friends at Fontenoy-le-Comte, where he was 3 high school teacher.
 ''It was our fourth attempt" writes the aviator, ito attack Q famous bal loon which was so well guarded that we never were able to get near it. When we got over the Roche lines I saw a balloon emerging from a sea of clouds 15 miles away. Being wary, we made a wide detour so as to get to windward and bear down upon it from it's own lines whence it was not to expect an attack.
 'eOn the way. however we came upon a sentinel aeroplane which, be- ing beneath us, did not appear to see us. I signalled our pilot. He pushed his engine to 1900 revolutions and dropped vertically upon the enemy. My position was precarious, my booy hanging out over space, clinging to a strut with the left hand, my right hand on the butt of machine gun.
 At $50 yards I opened fire. In stant1y, the Boche swerved and tried to flee but he got across us and I gave him a broadside. He pitched down. wards into the clouds.
 we were then within three miles of the balloon. We advanced crab wise, jumping from cloud to cloud. The balloon didn't budge. We got close up, I gave the signal and we swooped upon him. When 300 yards above it T. opened with the second gun
 ''In 12 seconds it was all over. I leaned over and could see the balloon half def1ated laying the trees. The German batteries saw nothing and did not fire on us.
 we waltzed home de1irious with joy, photographing each other on the way" 1T

he was chief of staff of the eastern Bulgarian army corps. For his ser vices in the battles of Dragoman Pass, Tzasibrod and Pirot he was decorated by Prince Alexander with the order for bravery. Later, how ever, he led 8. conspiracy against the Prince, King Ferdinand's predecessor, and was, forced to flee to Russia. There he remained until he was par doned in 1898 by Ferdinand, whom he had assisted to the throne.

Danish Farm Property
 Increases In Value

Copenhagen, Denmark, Oct 27- Danish farm property increased in value as a, result of the European war until farms are now being sold almost daily at a price 50 per cent higher than what they would have brought nine to 12 months ago. The appre- citation of farm property Is due of course, to the unprecedented profits on agricultural products.
 In the matter of horses, the scarcity is so serious that the government dur ing the past six months has prohibited the exportation of them, and the farmers have been getting on in many instances with the small but vigor- ous Ice1andic horses, when they have been able to get them.
