Throwing Bottles.

The joyriders who throw bottles
on the public highway, may be and
should be prosecuted, is stated by the
commission in its recent bulletin.
1t says:
Constant complaints are made of
the quantities of broken glass. beer
bottles and similar obstrucions on
the main travelled roads. The law,
chapter 21O Acts of the Thirty-fifth
general assembly, makes the placing
or leaving of bottles or broken glass
on the public highways misdemean-
or. The fine ranges from $1.00 to
$40. A second offense cannot be less
than $500. Few people are aware
of the fact that the class of Joy
riders who leave string of bottles
scattered along behind them can be
prosecuted. A few prosecutions in
each county will undoubtedly stop
the practice. These prosecutions
should come as soon as the users Of
the roads generally learn OF the ex-
istence of the law" 9

Possibilities in Acre Tracts.

The possibilities in Iowa small
farms have been seized by the real
estate men for profit making and it
may transpire that within the next
decade the real estate agent will
make Iowa as famous abroad as he
has done for California and dozens
of other states which lack the geo.
graphical advantage which Iowa en-
joys close to market for everything
it can grow.
A real estate firm advertised in the
Times-Republican yesterday a plat
ting of acre tracts between Tama
and Toledo. The Register and Lead
err this morning contains an adver-
tisement of a second plating of acre
tracts near Des Moines but the in
formation which is worthy of COM
ment has been furnished by a
Tama booster. He sets forth the
possibilities of an acre of Iowa soil
by saying:
On one acre you can raise SEQ bu-
shells of tomatoes.
On one acre you can raise 800
bushels of potatoes.
On one acre you can raise 1900
bushels of asparagus each year and
replant it for ten years.
On one acre you can raise 2oO
bushels of strawberries.
On one acre you can raise 1000
quarts of blackberries.
On one acre you can raise 100
bushels Of currants.
On one acre you can raise 5000
heads of cabbage.
cucumber pickles.
To read such estimates in a land
mans folder for irrigated land in
some tropical climate where no man
with a white skin dare live would not
excite comment but to think that
amid the delightful green of prairie
grass and hard wood timber of a
temperate climate with abundant
rainfall such production were pos
sible is to unlock a storehouse of
treasure which we have kept buried
for many years.
To the farmer who wishes to re-
tire and live in town the acre tract
should appeal An 'old man will
rust out, get sick, lose his appetite
and die before his time If he drops
suddenly from an active farm life
to absolute idleness. Discomfort and
ailments will be his companions in
old age. Furthermore, most farmers
who attempt to live in town upon the
income from a quarter section of
land find themselves reduced to a
scale of living below that of the
mechanic next door, whereas if they
had located on an acre or two they
would not only have enough but it
would be very easy to add half as
much to their income as the quarter
section of land will rerturn in rent.
In this way only can the luxuries of
farm life be taken with them when
they move to town. Success to the
acre tract -Marshalltown
