GREEKS BEARING GIF IS.

Comes now one w. l. Haberkamp,
farmer of Garner. with a tale of woe
told to the Sioux City police. Mr..
daoerkamp is out Just $1,000 and a
pair of Sioux City swindlers are ahead
TO the same amount. 1t came about
in the time honored fashion. The
Garner man went forth to shear and
returned shorn. IN his RECOMMENDATIONS
about Sioux City he met with two very
agreeable gentlemen of the sort known
as good mixers. They were engaged in
pleasing pastime of matching dollars
and one of the agreeable persons won
huge sum of the other. 1t was typi-
cal of his agreeable nature 10 offer to
split his winnings with the pilgrim and
stranger from Garner who. by watch
ing the game and in his humble man
ner unCOnsCiouslr ulascoting the win
ner had impressed the winner with the
idea that the roll should be divided
with him conditional however that
own, thus proving that he could have
furnished capital TO conduct such
partnership business. He FASTENED
back to Garner. grasped the $1,000 and
showed it, Then he lost sight Of it
and has never seen II since.
Strange, is il not, that in 1916. in
Iowa, with the daily news reports AS
ever present warnings, that man
should fail for the ancient con game
Bit IS It stranger than that in 1915
in Iowa, that voters should fall for
the confidence game OF good mlxe-''
in politics, that records should be for
gotten and the faces that peer around
the corner TO see how the sucker is
taking il" should be ignored. and that
the voter charmed with promises
should hasten to hand over his voting
capital and wait around the corner
while the pleasant gentlemen and the
good mixer go away to keep press
Ing business engagement"
OF course after he waits SO long he
can go and tell the police about it but
what does that get him?
Moral in pilgriming and politics:
When you meet pleasant and agree
able gentlemen who are such good
mixers that they agree with both sides
on all questions the lesson of history
teaches suspicion. There are those
who would sell the masonic temples
Of politics cheap to strangers, pleasing
persons. who mix with ease and vanish
utterly after the transaction has been
concluded.
Consider the case Of Mr. Haberkamp
of Garner and the Greeks bearing gifts.

THE PICNIC.
hips Ind Seolt6 w1x- cabbs6es = ktn&1

The picnicrsis a place where people
go to relax from labor and. study the
bug family. There is no place on earth
where the habits and personal eceen-
tricities of the wandering and dissatis-
fed hug can be studied to greater adj
vantage than at a picnic, when the ta-
blecloth has been laid directly over a
smouldering ant hill.
Picnics are held in the summer time
when the grass Is long and green and
insect life is more animated Great
care is taken to read the weather fore
cast and pick out a day that winds up
in a moist rain storm. This teaches us
that the United States weather bureau,
which is supported by a patient, per-
spring taxpayer is a lugubrious and
agonizins joke If congress would quit
distributing free garden seeds and give
out trustworthy barometers instead,
fewer parties would have to be hauled
home in a. hack and wrung dry by an
xious parents in the dead Of the night.
Picnics are composed of people who
go and people who provide. Why is it
that so many people are able to go to
picnic after picnic and never have to
furnish anything but a bubbling laugh
and two baking powder spoons? The
injustice of this arrangement has
rankled in many feminine breast and
has caused close neighbors to refuse
to speak to each other except at
prayer meeting. There is also the man
who is first to get to the table, but
never can see anything to do except
prophesy rain and fight flies. That we
are a humane and tender hearted peo-
pie is shown by the fact that these two
classes are always welcome and are
given some of the white meat.
Men are Invited to picnics on account
OF their lovable attributes and their
ability TO produce a fire out of water

in this state was paved, there wouldn't
be an extra ear of corn in the state"
said W. L. Harding to an audience Of
farmers at Oakland, Aug. y.
Harding voted for the only paved
road law that was ever put on the
statute books Of Iowa S. r. 317 in the
Thirty third General Assembly, and he
introduced the amendment which was
adopted providing that mot less than
so per cent of the cost" of paving or
shall be assessed to adjacent property.

an audience of farmers at Humboldt

1t was this present road law enacted
four years ago which repealed the
paved road law which Harding had
amended and for which he had voted.
