New Hampton Mayor Sends Potato
Prices Down i'm Hurry.

New Hampton, Ia, Oct. 20.-It
looked as if dealers were cornering
the potato crop, and prices advanced
to such a>figure that they were prohi-
bitiye to many people, and the poor
were compelled to go without a sup
ply of this vegetable.
But the mayor of the city got next
to what was going on, and notified
the dealers that unless they put po-
tatoes at figure that was within
reason he would have several car
loads of the tubers shipped in to be
sold at a price which would show
no profit Subsequently potatoes
are cheaper III New Hampton

MOVIES OF OFFICERS MURDER
EASTLAND FILMS BARRED

EHO LSINO GIENIO
"How to Commit Murder and Get
Away With IT. would be good title
for the latest Tribune-Selig Weekly
which depicts the robbery of the
Cook Tourist Agency and the muir
der of Policeman Bror Johnson a
week ago last Friday.
Chief Healey gave the picture his
personal o. K. He even condescend-
ed to be filmed himself. His excuse
for letting the picture get by the
board of movie censors is that it may
help catch the murderer.
For two years the movie censors,
who work under Chief Healey, have
cut shootings, killings, stabbings,
robberies, burglaries, scenes show
ing dead men and other things they
thought might contaminate the
morals of Young Chicago.
For instance: the board recently
looked over a film called wild Jim,
Reformer." From it they cut two
scenes showing the dead body of
man. Every day these moralists cut
and slash pictures, but they didn't
touch the Tr1b-Se1g picture winch
showed the most successful holdup
and murder that has been pulled off
in Chicago in many months.
Chicago has been entertained by
a number of startling features which
were sensationally played in the
trust press. The American paid
large sum of cash to Auto Bandit
Webb who undertook to deliver
course on 'tHow to Be an Auto Ban
dit" through it's columns. The news,
not to be outdone, paid Barney
Bertsche, Chicago's famous con man,
some more money for the sordid de-
tails of his life. Bertsche's story
told of his various swindling stunts
and how he got away with them.
Now the Tribune, to use its own
complacent expression, pulls off the
greatest news film scoop" of the

aster, which depicted hundreds Of
people drowning in the Chicago r1v-
er, were not allowed to be shown in
Chicago. They might have been a
lesson in safety, impressing on peo-
pie the fact that their lives we're not
securely guarded by those having
them in charge.
But they also might have hurt

The idea is that the clubwomen

to climb back to physical and moral
Wilderness.
They will not call the home ref

They want the girls to think that
they can rid themselves of the red
stain of their misfortune and again
be wholesome, womanly creatures.
That is why it is suggested that the
place be called '"The Home for Con-

Kenosha Wis. July 2l - The big
gest life insurance policy ever written
in the United States and probably the
biggest ever written by any one com
pany was signed when the Simmons
company. makers Of iron and brass
beds. took out policy in the Equitable
Life Insurance company totaling more
than $4,000. 600 and covering the lives
Of every one of the more than 5000
employees of the company.
The company has delivered to every
employe the same policy and the only
distinction is in the amount of insur-
ance. Men who have been in the en-
ploy of the company for a year or less
are given a policy of $500 and for each
year of added service up TO ten years
800 is added TO the amount Of the
