just had man inquiring about
stock food that will make his stock

stock i ust when he feels like it,
feeds just what happens to be ham

We also have people looking for
corn aud other field seeds that vii
make abnormal yields. Such peo-

ment until they are willing to do
their part in the preparation and

Much has been accomplished in
improving varieties of seed for
various crops. Such seed planted
in a well prepared soil with proper
cultivation will produce better
crops than poor seed with the same
preparation and cultivation, but
the person is doomed to disap-

thing that will give them satisfac-
tory results without intelligent
effort to do their part.
I hear men talking about their
bad luck, and contrast the differ

all to bad luck. But if you will
Investigate his record the one COM
planning is the one who failed to do
his part when it should have been
done. In many cases young men
of influential families expect that
influence to carry them over the
rough places. Family influence
will no doubt afford opportunities,
but will not do the part that the
individual alone can do,
The man who shirks his individ-

the best of his ability the task as

People who do things worth

stands to reason that they will pro.

This last figure, it should be added,
is not likely to be in error by more
than a foot or two and may with
some confidence be regarded as final.
Greater exactness of determination Is
scarcely practicable in the case OF
Mount Rainier, as it's highest summit
consists actually of mound of snow
the height of which naturally varies
somewhat with the seasons and from
year to year.
This browning snow mound, which
was once supposed to ne the highest
point in the United States, still bears
the proud name of Columbia Crest
1t is essentially a huge Snowdrift or
snow dune heaped up by the furious
westerly winds.
Six great glaciers originate at the
very summit. They are the Nisquslly
the Ingraham, the Emmons, the Win
throp, the Tahoma, and the Kautz
Glaciers. But many of great size
and stateIiness are born of the SHOWS
in rock packets or cirques-ice-sculp-
tered bowls of great dimensions and
everincreasing depth-from which
they merge into the gIistening arlno
of the huge volcano. The most dis
tinguished of these ale the CowIitz
the Paradise. the Frying Pan, the
Carbon, the Russell, the North and
South Mowich, the Puyaliup and the
Pyramid Glaciers.
Remarkab BILE Glaciers.
More than twenty glaciers. great
ice, with many of the chara teristics
of rivers of water, roaring at times
over precipices like waterfalls; rip
ping and tumb bling down rocky slopes
-veritable noisy cascades: rising
smoothly up on hidden rocks to foam,
brooklike over its lower edges.
Each glacier, whether originating at
the bright summit or in vast spring
like cirques, begins in even, immacu-
late snow. A thousand feet or SO be-
low it attains sufficient density and
weight to acquire movement. Here
looking down INTO a creNasse. one sees
nothing but clean snow, piled in lay
ers; slightly compa,cted and loosely
granular snow, called neve in the
Swiss Alps. Gradually, as the cur

Term Expires on December 23-Ar-
rested For Assault and Breach OF
upion-Social in Beckley-Briefs.

Miss Majorie Moore, postmistress at
Kensington, whose term is to expire
on December % has very slim chance
of being re-appointed. according to a
statement made this morning by Con-
gresham P. Davis Oakley of Hartford
= 10 Herald man. Congressman Oakley
said that a few months ago he had re-
ceived a letter from Miss Moore in
hurting if she was to be removed from
office or if there was any possibility
Of being rechosen. Congressman Oakley
answered that he Is not consulted at
all on the appointment but he conjec-
iured that she had very poor
=. rhance.' Miss Moore he said, nat
urally cannot expect to hold the office
Tor another term as she was appoint
I'd under a republican administration
Ind I rather think that she will not
be selected again.
Congressman Oakley said number
of prominent Kensington citizens had
approached him and asked him to
have Miss Moore appointed again to
the office. He replied that he had
nothing whatever to do in the matter.
-. Miss Moore has been in charge of
the Kensington postoffice for eight
years having assumed her duties in
December, 1907. She was recommend
ed to the office by Congressman E.
Stevens Henry, following the death
of her father, r. A. Moore. She was
re-appointed to the office at the ex-
piration of her term in 1911. The
postoff7ce is. of the third class and
bays salary of $500.
Being endowed with a keen faculty
for business, a pleasing personality
and a thorough knowledge of conduct
Ing the postoffice, Miss Moore has full
filled her duties to the satisfaction of
all.
: w. w Pagan of KenSington, chair
man of the democratic town com
nittee, is being prominently men
toned to succeed Miss Moore and it is
generally conceded that he will re-
ceive the nomination.
The regime of Postmaster Henry J.
Porter of Berlin will expire in July
1916, and it is not thought that h
y will be re-chosen as he as we'll as Mis-
Moore was recOmm ended by repub

First Actual Story Of Lynching Re.
veals That Victims Courage
Did Not Falter.
HE WAS NOT MISTREATED
Prisoner Informed at Start He Was
. to be Executed As the Courts
Had Directed.

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 23.-The first
actual story of all that transpireo
on the death ride of Leo NJ. Frank
from Milledgeville to Marietta be-
tween midnight and dawn last Tues
day morning became available to The
Associated Press yesterday. The re-
cital did not come through second
or third hands, but in manner
which seemingly placed its authen'
ITCHY beyond all question.
The inside story Of the events
which preceded the finding OF
Franks lifeless body swaying from
the limb of the biggest oak tree in
the vicinity of Bill Frey's cotton gin
cleared up many phases of the tragic
incident which heretofore have been
yelled in mystery. Points asserted
by the narrator were:
Frank did not confess. He twice
was asked if he had anything to say
but on each occasion replied "No.'
Asked pointedly if he killed the Pha-
gen girl, he is said to have made nc
reply whatever.
No attempt was made to force a
confession. Franks statement just
prior to his death that he loved his
wife and mother better than he did
his life, came unexpectedly and
without questioning.
Frank was not maltreated in any
way prior to the actual lynching.
Frank walked a distance of zoe
yards from the automobile to the
death tree without a faltering step;
without a sigh or semblance Of q
protest.
Frank was told from the start
that he was to be executed as the
courts had directed that he be ant
every effort was made by the social
ed vigilance committee" to see thai
the illegal hanging" as they termed
the lynching, was carried out in al
orderly manner. Members of the
vigilance committee are said to re-
sent any intimation that Frank wa:
maltreated while in their custody.
Seven automobiles were required
to transport the vigilance commit
| tee from Marietta to Nilledgeville
Only four returned, including thu
car in which Frank rode. All O.
the machines were small cars. There
were probably twenty-eight men il

Why Not a Camel?

Many queries were heard Satur-
day during the parade and after the
performances, as TO the reason why
Ringling's circus had neither a gi-
raffe nor a camel jim their menagerie.
Rumors were af1oat that the show
had divided and half was showing in
some other place under another
name. Such was not, however, the
case, and the reason why these ami
mails were not present was because
CT the strict laws upon hoof and
mouth disease prevailing in this and
other states nearby. The circus was
quarantined in Illinois at the time
of the outbreak of this costly dis
ease which almost broke up so many
fine farms there this year. No cir
cuses exhibiting in Iowa this sea-
son, so it is stated, are carrying
camels and giraffes, which are very
susceptible to the hoof and mouth
disease.

The above in very succinct way
tells the difference between the old
and new form of government for the
city of Montrose. In an equally en-
phatic way it commends the admin
igtration of the commissioners and
manager of the city of Montrose.
The form of government gave them
the opportunity, and the commission
ers and manager measured up to the
opportunity.
Two years ago the city of Manis-
tee, Mich, adopted this plan, and
Mr.. Charles E. Ruger, Of that city,
writes as follows:
Success of plan so far in this city
has been very satisfactory, consider
able more work has been accomplish
ed than under the old aldermanic
system, and without any cont1iction.
The city affairs are operated upon
business principles, with the object
OF securing full value for every dol
lar expended for salaries, labor,
maintenance and in permanent i'm
provements. Modern methods have
been adopted in accounting and pur-
chase of material of all kinds. Daily
time slips returned for all labor en-
ployed. Reports of all work in prog
ress rendered by superintendent in
all departments. Maps Of various
kinds have been prepared for the
system of sewers, showing catch
basins, man holes, their size and To-
cations. For streets and sidewalks,
fire hydrants, fire limit boundaries.
I'm arranging the budget of ap-
preparations for the year 1915, there
was a reduction of $4,000 as COM
pared with same period of operation
during previous years under old form
of government. From March list,
1914, to Jan. list, 1915, we have re-
duced the operating costs of all de-
partments in expenditures for labor
and material and salaries more than
s8,OOO.OO."
81 can assure you that any city
adopting the plan will be more than
pleased with the results, providing
they make their selections Of COM
missioners from the number of their
successful business men and secure
the services of capable and honest
manager. With the cooperation of
your people and the elimination Of
Webster City freeman. [volume] (Webster City, Hamilton County, Iowa) 1884-1946, 1915-08-24

adopted this plan which has proven
very satisfactory, and l wish to quote
from the Arizona Republican Of
Jan. 18th, 1915, as follows:
ECONOMY SHOWN
IN REPORT OF
CITY MANAGER
Comparison is Made Between Six
Months Under managerial Form
and Six Months Under City
Council Regime.
WOULD LOWER WATER RATES
Twenty Per Cent Reduction in City
Water Rates is Recommended
and Desire Expressed, 1t
Became Effective Forthwith.
You can readily see by the various
quotations from letters | have re-
ceived that this form of city govern
ment has proven the greatest sue
cess Of any city government yet
adopted, and | believe that it would
be feather in the cap of your city
should it be the first city in the state
of Iowa to adopt this form of govern
ment.
You have perhaps published the
bill in your paper at various times,
and in defense of this bill l wish to
say that it was prepared and gone
over by some of the most able law
yers and municipal government men
of the country.
This is absolutely new form of
built from the ground
up, and l trust that your citizens
will adopt it and give it fair trial,
and | can assure you that it will
prove more than satisfactory within
a very short time.
If | can be of any help to you at
any time, / will be only too glad to
be at your service.
Yours very truly,
Arch w. McFarlane.
