Pull The Cork.

When the editor approaches the
average citizen in the quest of news
he is invariably tod that the citizen
doesn't know thing" and that an
swer is about as near the truth as the
nations of Europe are to effecting a
prompt settlement of their differen-
ces. Everybody knows something
and most people know lot of some
things that are worth telling and
would make breezy and newsy stor-
les, but they just bottle it up in the
walls of their dome and forget that
it is there. Sometimes the editor Is
able to pry it loose word by word un-
til he gets the story, when it would
be the easiest and simplest thing In
the world to ,et it all out in a rush.
Pull the cork, brother, and let out
the contents of your intellectual bot
tie and we will pass it on TO others
who are thirsty for news. You know
a plenty if you only knew that you
know it.

Reason For Prejudice.

Iowa farmers would be much more
in favor of paved roads were it not
for the fact that every hair Drained
speed maniac in the state is boosting
for them. They are not especially in
favor of lightning express running
by their doors; Of autos with drivers
who have no respect for law and de-
cency, half of them road hogs, and
all running wild. Hard roads would
be good thing for the farmer and
he wouldn't have much to say about
the road except to help build and keep
it in repair when you get done with
it, The only way he could get decent
treatment would be to build a thank
ye-ma'a am every forty rods or so, so
that it would throw an auto over the
telephone poles when it got to run
ming more than twenty-five miles an
nour, and if such roads are built,
they should be built in that way

Record of killing Frosts.

Owing to the unusual year and
most peculiar weather, the unceas-
ing rain and the slightly damaging
frosts We have had every month of
1915, many are wondering as to the
dates of killing frosts in this section
for years past.
The earliest killing frost in this
section in the last fifteen years was
September II, 1902, and the latest,
October 25, 1914. The following
dates are the ones recorded as the
times when old Jack Frost got the
vegetation growth and killed it for
good for the season:
1900, September 16; 1901, Sep
tember 10; 1902, September IL;
1908, October 3; 1904, October 5;
1906, October 8; 1906, October 10;
1907, September "a; 1908, Septem-
Der 27; 1909, October IL; 1910,
October 21; 1911, October 10; 1912,
September 26; 1913, SEPTEMBER 21;
1914, October %. 1915, Oct. s.

Cost to Winneshiek County for the
1914 Primary Election Was
$2,O56.47 and the General
Election 81 ,402.O4.
POLK COUNTY HEADS LIST
WITH LARGEST EXPENSE
The Total Cost of Finding the Will
OF the People in Iowa Last
Year Was $317, ,2O3.

The 1914 primary cost the state
of Iowa $153,499, and the general
election $166,7O4, a total of $317,-
203, according to figures compiled
by A. J.sSmall, law librarian publish
ed in the Iowa Official Register
which was issued last week.
Polk county elections cost more
than elections in any other county in
the state. There is no uniformity of
costs. In 1910 Polk county paid
s7,1O2 as election expenses, exclu-
sive of the primary. In 1912 the
election expense dropped to $5,739,
but in 1914 it jumped back to ST.
007. However, the primary expense
remained about the same for the
three periods, as follows: 1910.
$6.3S1; 1912, s6,13S; 1914, s6,022.
No attempt had previously been
made to collect statistics on the cost
of elections in Iowa. The officials
were surprised to find that the total
cost of the primary almost equals
that of the general election. In fifty
counties the primary costs more. No
explanation is offered for this situa-
tion.
The counties which conducted
more expensive primaries in 1914
than elections were: Adair, Benton,
Bremen, Butler, Calhoun, Cherokee.

IOWA WEDNESDAY
AUTO RACES FOR DEBORAH.
Professional Drivers Will be Seen at
Fair Grounds Oct. 22d and 23d.

AS chronicled in our last issue,
The Motor Car Racing Association
of Illinois will conduct auto races
on the Decorah track, and the dates
have been set for Friday and Satur-
day, Oct. 22d and 23d. The Motor
Car Racing Association has con-
Quoted the most successful races in
the middle west for the past 3 years
and have a following of the best
known and most popular cars and
drivers in the business today. Among
them are: The famous Duesenberg,
No. 1, which averaged 99.6 miles
per hour on the Omaha Speedway,
driven by Billy" Chandler; the 100
h. p. Chicago Stutz, No. 5, driven
by Fay Cartner; the National Bud
let' driven by Dare Devil Jordan
the California road race demon; the
popular little Buick bob Cat" with
Edie Lyons at the wheel the big
200 h. p. Burman Special, which Bob
Burman drove in the Vanderbilt Cup
Race at San Francisco this spring
now owned and piloted by Earl Day
the well known young speed king;
and the big $50 h. p. Staver Brute"
which won the Elgin race in 1912
driven by Gus Monckmeier.
Everyone of these men are at
fractions in themselves and these
RAGS should not be classed with
small race meets, which attract only
amateur racers. The Decorah track
is a good one, and with such fast
bunch of entries, lovers of good.
clean, thrilling sport will see some
mighty fast and exciting races.
There will be four races each day
for the big cars, the feature to be
"a mile race, and local stock car
race. One thousand dollars will be
offered in prizes, besides special
purse for new track record, for one
mile, now held by Louis Disbrow,
time one minute 1-5 seconds.
The largest crowd in the history
of this section is anticipated.

Mr.. O'Hara w be Heard in
Charming son All Typical
Irish Ballads. Vkenny"
is an Evening q pter-
tainment AppS@ h
ing the Idea

1t is a genuine delight 90 attend
a play of such a wholesome charac-
ter as Kilkenny" in which Fiske
O'Hara was seen last night at the
Burtis in Davenport, says writer
in the Davenport Times. No smut
is introduced into this interesting
little drama, and in these days when
the tendency to inject obscenities in
to theatrical offerings appears to be
so keen, that tribute paid to Mr.. o.
Hara's play is indeed high one.
Kilkenny" is much after the fash
ion of the other Celtic vehicles that
Mr.. O'Hara, Mr.. Olcott, Mr.. Mack
and others have made notable in the
years gone by. 1t is from the expert
enoed pen of Augustus Pitou, Sr.
Mr.. Pitou knows well the ingredi-
ents that are necessary to make up
an Irish play. He has written sew
eral of them during his career, and
all Of them have practically the same
elements compounded into an engag-
ing stage romance. Kilkenny" like
the others, has it's Irish hero, the
pride of the countryside. He always
arrives on the scene at the oppor-
tune moment, and the villain is foil
ed at every turn. There is romance
galore. In fact, love scenes are
so many and so frequent that they
become commonplace. But, 1t is all
clean, there's the beauty Of it. 1t is
an evenings entertainment that ap-
Froaches the ideal in comparison
with some of the racyi and breezy
diversions that playgoers are often
compelled to contemplate.
Mr.. O'Hara comes forth resplen-
dent in brocades, satins, lace ruffles
and jeweled buckles. There is q
change of raiment for each of the
three scenes, and he is a feast for
the eye in each of them. At four
different intervals in the play he
raises his voice in charming song
All of these selections are typical
Irish ballads bearing titles such as
ireland Is Ireland To Me-" Con.
trary Mary Clary,' Girl O. Ny
Heart" and Dear Mother Mine.
They are filled with Irish sentiment
and each brought several hearty re-
calls.
There is more wooing than war
fare in the play. 1t is quietly con
Quoted and neatly mounted. The
supporting cast is efficient. Marie
Quinn and Mabel Scott are particu-
larly attractive in two girlish roles
and the other members of the com.
pany give effective performances.

Irish Poets and the FAIRIES.

Fiske O'Hara, who comes to the
Grand Oct. %, says of Irish poets
and the fairies: This is hard and
practical age, day when the mo-
tor car has annihilated time and
space, the movies have murdered
mystery and the scientists have dis
sected theology. Hardly in any
corner of the gods and nymphs and
fairies-au the beautiful, shimering
creatures of dream-may show their
lovely anacbromistic heads. In
France, in Germany, in practical Eng
land, in busy America, all the fairies
are dead these many years. But in
Ireland, in green and mist-filled Ire
land, the last of the fairy folk still
dwell, dancing at night in moonlit
rings by the edge of the green rath,
or crying desolately in the forests.
For in Ireland they have peasantry
and poets, and both are near to the
soil and hear the sorrowful voices. +"

Judge Hobson Fines Bootlegger.

Judge Hobson is holding court at
Cresco this week. Monday afternoon
he imposed a fine of $500 and 110
days in the county Jail on a bootleg
ger over there. Guess that sentence
will hold the boot,egger for while,
to give him an opportunity to think
over the past.
The only jury trial was the Adams
Seed Co. against the Great Western
Railway and other eastern lines in
volving the shipment of quantity
of wool from McIntire to St. Louis
and then to Philadelphia, says the
Times. After the Plaintiffs testi-
mony was taken motion to direct
a verdict for the railroads was sus-
tanned by the court. There was a
large array of legal talent for the
defense-Judge Jesse A. Miller and
Harold Evans of Des Moines, the
latter son of Supreme Court JUS
tice Evans; E. A. Church, represent
ing the Philadelphia & Reading. and
Reed & Perg,er. The plaintiff claim
ed the wool was not shipped accord
ing to directions and they suffered
heavy loss. The courts ruling was
on law points.

Here or There.

If all the farmers of the United
States were to take the surplus OF
their yearly production-gr grain, cot
ton, flour, meal. hides and skins,
wool, sugar, meats, and so on-rep-
resented in the annual exports OF the
country, and make bondfire OF IT,
the world would stand appalled, an
such an exhibition. The value OF
such exports annually is $5,OOO,OOO,-
600, a sum that corresponds to the
amount of war loan authorized re-
Gently by single belligerent Euro
pean nation. 1t is one of the many
remarkable things connected wita
war that the drain it imposes upon
industry is concealed largely from
those who sooner or later must make
good the waste.

NAL announcement to this effect was

Here is the statement given to the
press by Secretary Tumulty:
The announcement was made to.
day of the engagement of Mrs. Nor
man Calf of this city and President
Woodrow WILSON,
Washington society was not exact
ly surprised by this announcement.
1t is the natural development of a
romance which has attached the SYM
pathetic interest of the entire CAPT
tal The president has been so naive
in his courtship, so obviously at
tracted by the charming widow, that
it was fully expected he would pro-
pose and, as Mrs. Calf has been equal
ly interested, be accepted.
For time after the death of Mrs.
Wilson in August of last year the
President was shrouded in loneliness
His three daughters, Mrs. McAdoo,
wife of the secretary of the treasury
Mrs. Sayre, whose husband is col
lege professor, and Miss Margaret
Wilson, joined with Miss Helen
Bones, a distant relative, in endeav6r-
ing to cheer the chief executive.
Mrs. Norman Gait, who is to wed
President Wilson, was Miss Edith
Bowling. She was born in Wythe-
vile, Va, where her father, William
III. Bowling, won distinction as one OF
the ablest lawyers in the state.
Mrs. Gait lives at 23O8 Twentieth
street, Northwest, in the fashionable
section of Washington. She has lived
there since her marriage in 1896 ia
