WHEN IOWA GOES DRY.
Sin11x l,it,- Journal


The old prohibition law Of Iowa
which appears due 20 become effective
again on Jan. l, 1916, as a result
OF the almost certain repeal of the
mulct law, forbids, in brief, the mani
ufacture sale or keeping for sale OF
Intoxicating liquors and the transpor-
tation of same within the state.
1t does not necessarily follow that
when Iowa goes dry all Iowans win
go dry 1t will not be crime under
either state or federal laws for a con-
sumner to import intoxicating liquors
from a neighboring state. The Webb
Kenyon law forbids the transportation
Of liquor from wet territory TO dry ter
ritory for illegal purposes. but does not
bar shipment of beverages for private
consumption. 1t VIII not be a crime 10

The proposed prohibitory amend
ment TO the constitution includes no

Of the dry forces in amending the

tion that much frmer on the state
I A mere statute may be amended or

assembly, whereas the constitution can
be changed only thru an elaborate pro-
cess, involving the consent Of the
people.
Incidentally, Iowa as prohibition
state will not be SO lonesome as 1t
may have been thirty years ago. Four
teen states either already have prohibi-
ton or have voted in favor of it. Ala
bana, Arizona, Georgia, Kansas, Maine.
Mississippi, North Carolina, North Da-
kota, Oklahoma and West Virginia are
now dry, and Colorado, Oregon, Wash

The senate OF Utah has voted FOR pro-
hibition and the house is expected tc
follow suit Several of the states have
more drastic prohibitory laws thar

even allow it's newspapers to print liz

canvass of the state resulted in another
pledge of funds. More patriotic EFFORT
misapplied.
The climax to this fiasco was
reached when the legislature now IN
session was asked to repudiate and re-
verse the action of the assembly OF
two years ago. The legislature
couldn't see why the state should re-
imburse those who had been held up
by the associated boosters who in a
moment of thou ghtlessness had per-
mitted Waterloo to saddle upon them
an obligation which in the first place
ought never to have been created.

tions and the like are private enter

HOW ABOUT THAT GARDEk7

How about that garden, are you
thinking about it yet?
OF course it may be a little early;
winter isn't yet over, and March is to
come, but 1t is just as well that, during
these evenings, you begin to plan
little on how you are going to divide
up your garden plot for he early stuff,
and what space you are going to re-
serve for the vegetables that are to
come later.
You can't afford to De without gar
den, If for nothing more than the out
door exercise it will afford in prepar-
ing the ground and cultivating the
crops. There's the fun of watching It
grow, too. that must be taken into con-
sideration: also the looks Of your back
yard. A back yard that is cultivated
properly for garden is ne. going to
grow up in weeds, and no one likes to
see a back yard full Of weeds any more
than front lawn where the grass is
not moved regularly.
SO you had better begin planning
your garden in your minds eye. Re
member the Riddles will want a little
space for posies; that the early stuff

else thereby increasing the PRODUCING

too, that it is not only the satisfac-

while. 1t pays in dollars and cents

ABOLISH PISTOL TOTING."
IDes Moines tribune


What possible reason can be given
why the sale of revolvers should be
made easy?
Nobody in these days has any legiti-
mate use for a revolver. The men who
think they need one for self protection
could not hit a barn door with one II
they had it.
The only man who can use revolt
Yer TO advantage is the man who ought
not have it,
Carrying weapons is not protection
TO anybody. it is ora the contrary
threat at the peace aud good order OF
the community.
No revolver should be kept for sale
In Iowa but by licensed and registered
dealers and no revolver or other deadly
weapon should be sold but by these
registered dealers 10 persons whose
names are taken together with the
number of the weapon and all other
information needed to Identify 1t. nor
should the buyer be permitted to resell
without going thru all the formalities
of public registration.
Iowa has made a good start to get
rid of pistol toting' in the present

SHIFTING A BAD DEBT.

Loud applause is due the Iowa legis-
lature for its refusal to be the recipient
Of debt which rightfully belongs to
Waterloo, even tho the Greater Iowa
Association is left to hold the sack.
When the legislature two years ago
refused to make a large appropriation
for an Iowa building at the San Fran
cisco exposition, 1t assumed that one
would not advance the interests of
Iowa SO much as it would benefit the
exposition promoters and California
boomers. The failure of the appropri-
alton measure was resented by a group
of Waterloo boosters, who. with a blare
of trurnpets, announced that they pro-
posed TO rescue the state from a hu-
initiating position. They would build
a creditable structure at San Francis
co with Waterloo money and present
| 1t to the state. Waterloo proceeded to
collect bunch of free advertising be-
| fore capitalizing its charitable and pat
| triotic undertaking. The money was
subscribed-on paper. When collection
was attempted Waterloo fell down
| About this time the Greater Iowa
Association was launched. Waterloo
was interested in this association also
and saw an opportunity TO obtain relic!
from a self-imposed obligation which
could not be fulfilled. BY some hook
or crook the Greater Iowa fellows were

we'll decomposed.
Why do We recommend this? This
land needs to be put In good physical
condition; and plenty Of cultivation
is necessary to do that. The next
thing is to get full stand Of grass;
but one of the main things is to have
your land rich enough to grow q full
crop of grass. Your aim should be to
have every square inch occupied with
grass plants, and then to have some
thing to feed them on. If this plan
is followed, land which requires three
or four acres to support a COW will not
require more than two, and will be
good for several years to come.
You say: Why not put on the ma
nure at once on the worn out pasture,
and save all this work? For the rea-
son that you would then be manuring
the weeds as we'll as the grass, and
You must expect them to use the ma
nure for their further growth and de-
velopmept. Give such an amount OF
cultivation as will destroy perennials
and biennials, terminate the ANIMALS.
and then kill them. Then your grass
es will have a fair show, and the ma
nure will be used to some good pur-
pose.
Where land is too rough TO be cult
waited the best thing to do is to simply
apply every year top dressing OF ma
nure after thorough disking or harrow
ing, and then re-seeding. We are not
getting much more than half the crop
we should get from our grass lands,

BORROWING TROUBLE.

Officials of the river cities OF the
state are taking over a lot of needless
worry because of the certainty OF being
deprived of one prolific source OF
revenue when he scheduled drouth sets
in. The saloon has been dependable
means OF support for city admlnistra-
tons so long that Il balance between
income and outgo seems impossible
without the mulct tax. This revenue
has been such easy money that coun-
cilmen have acquired the habit of
figuring from the wrong end, With
them it has not been a question of
economy in municipal administration
but rather of eXtravagant expenditure.
Ottumwa, Marshaltown and Musca-
tine have been up against the same
problem and emerged with flying colors.
Their city councils We're frightened by
the same bugaboo of impending bank
ruptcy However, none of these cities has
had TO make an assignment for the bene-
1T of creditors. Rather, all are more
prosperous today than they We're when
saloons fourished within their corpor-
ate limits and divided their enormous
profits with the agents OF the general
public, the city councils.
The whole financial question resolves
itself into one of readjustment. OF
course little time is requ' fred to get
squared away. With the ope- saloon
in operation, the public paid not only
the mulct tax going to the municipality
but also the brewers and distillers
profits. and also the expense of opera
ton of the retail liquor dealer. 1t is
only question of figuring. A lot OF need
less expense is avoided when saloons
are eliminated there are fewer paupers
to care for cost of policing and court
fees are cut in two, and the grocer, the
butcher, the clothier and coal merchant
get money which previously was di
verted into other channels. Cheer up,
you river towns, and accept the chang
ing conditions with good grace. Your
worry is needless.

Rheumatism is easier to avoid than

We are advised to dress warmly: keep

Rheumatism is a direct result of eat

ton OF the kidneys to filter this acid
from the blood and cast 1t out in the
urine; the pores OF the skin are also
"a means Of freeing the blood of this
impurity In damp and chilly cold
weather the skin pores are closed thus

The Strawpile
Fertilizina Value of Corn Stalks.

An Iowa correspondent has some
land which has been in corn for two
years, which he wishes TO put in corn
next year. He asks
What is the fertilizing value Of corn
stalks? Is 1t a good plan to rake up
the stalks and burn them? Can the
stalks be worked up so as not to inter
fer with cultivation? Tins is good

corn is concerned, il lost. The potash

So far as fertilizing purposes are con-
cerned, we would reckon an acre OF
average stalks to be worth 81 more
unburned than burned. We do not
mean by this that leaving the stalks
unburned, the corn yield will thereby
be increased by five or six bushels per
acre. In the long run, however, the
productive power of the soil should be
increased by this amount.
The ACCESSIBILITY Of burning corn
stalks depends altogether on how a
man is situated. If he has rich piece
of land rented for a short term OF
years, it will probably be hest to burn.
If he has rather thin piece of land,
it will be best to use n sharp disk or
stalk cutter, and reduce the stalks to
such a condition that the corn can be
cultivated without danger of jerking
out hills here and there. We can not
advise any one definitely as to the ad-
Visibility of burning off corn stalks,

would be best for this country If no

states, and occasionally in the corn
belt, you will find piece of land once

that is worn out for grazing or NOW
ing purposes. The stand Of grass is
thin and weak, and is struggling with
the weeds, particularly perennials that
have come in and are contending for
possession. How should this land be
managed?
Some adopt the method of simply
applying manure. This will help if
there is enough of it and it is applied
often enough: but we don't think it the
best method. Apply all the manure
you can conveniently. Then turn 1t

fall and deeper in the fall than you
would in the spring. Put on about two

YOU think Is really necessary. Get the
ground in fine physical condition. Plant
corn on It, and during growth keep on

get the land in the best possible physi-
cal condition. and to exterminate the
