Egypt Gets More Balm Now.

Rain fell in torrents in Alexandria,
Egypt, during the rejoicings over the
accession of the new sultan. Some
fifty years ago the statement would
have seemed ridiculous; but of recent
years the climatic character of Egypt
has lost its consistency, and now we
have rain in places where none was
known before. and more rain where
there was very little, or only the gen
tie dew
The English are believed to be re
sponsible for the rain-with their new
channels for spreading over the land
the waters of the Nile. Cairo has only
two inches in the year, while 500 miles
up the Nile there is practically none
at all. Just as the plantation of trees
in a desert win bring rain, so is Egypt
now a moister place because of the
extension of cultivated lands. But it
is not likely that all our western civ
ilization will ever destroy the won
derful dryness of Egyptian air with
which the constitutions of invalid
and pyramids agree.

TONIGHT'S ATTRACTION
AT THE COLONIAL.
When Dreams Come True" IA
Melodrama and Musical Comedy.

when Dreams Come True" is mu-
steal comedy with a blend of melo-
drama The story Is consistent through
out, in which it differs materially
from most of the musical shows, al
though the musical comedy features
have not been sacrificed on account of
the dramatic interest, but they have
been so deftly blended that the play is
a marvel of dramatic construction
The company employed in the pre-
sentation of when Dreams Come
True" is composed of players who have
won distinction in musical comedy and
care has been taken in the selection of
the people engaged for the various
roles. The singing and dancing fea-
lures call for the service of a large
chorus. which has been selected with
the idea that they had TO sing, to dance
and to look attractive.
The costuming of the play shows the
very latest models of the late Euro
pean fashions. When Dreams Come
True" is the attraction at the Colonial
Theatre tonight

GIVES CHARITY RAP.
Illinois Judge Scores Organized
Bodies.

Judge Henry Neil, Of Oak Park, III.
arrived inBaltimore this week and VIII
launch a movement for mothers pen
sions such as are now provided in
twenty-six states.
Judge Neil said that he expects 10
have the opposition of organized char
ity leaders, because they fear for their
own jobs when the State pensions all
dependent mothers and thus reduces
the need for charity. The Judge. who
is staying at the Emerson, said:
1t was in 1911 that / went before
the Illinois Legislature and had passed
a bill that provides for the pensioning
of mothers with dependent children.
There are now twenty-six states that
have the system at work and others
are about 40 adopt it. About $l2,.-
600 900 was paid last year TO mothers
This is merely collecting by taxation
and distributing by law.
organized charity needs the suffer
ing mother and children, because it can
not beg without them. Leaders in the
organization are making their living as
professional beggars. It must be re-
membered that il was organized chart
ties that ran the pauper schools that
opposed public education one hundred
years ago. They call it anarchy
''In the United States $4,000 600
was raised by taxation and spent on
public schools last year. and the tax
payers are proud of this They do not
call it philanthropy. because they
know that the state is spending this
money because education means the
best kind of citizens in the future.
Charity pauperizes. The State should
care for its dependent mothers and
hope Maryland VIII pass the same bill
that is in effect elsewhere

RENDERING PLANT
NEAR TOWN Of BOONE

farm is a nuisance, and a detriment
to property. I only wish We
could get rid of it. We have gotten
up petitions time and again with no
result. 1t has a frightful odor.
Dean Brecker, grocer: I am about
three-fourths mile northeast of the
rendering plant at Boone and will
say I would not give SIS per acre
for land adjoining the rendering
plant. The wagons that haul the
dead animals go through town and
always smell bad; they are rotten.
I formerly lived two miles west OF
the plant and the stencil vas some
thing awful there.
Mrs. Joe Pestotnik: We live about
one-half mile from a rendering tank
and when the wind is in the right
direction the odor is very bad and
disagreeable. A petition is being
signed to get it out of the neighbor-
hood.
Mr.. and Mrs. M. C. Alsin: can
say that the rendering factory is a
nuisance in this neighborhood. ]
live about a mile northwest of 1t,
My mother owns this place and we
intend to move. My little girl laid
sick two days from the odor from 1t.
We have to keep the doors closed
some days when the wind is in the
right direction.
Jerome S. Wheeler: This Is to
certify I am a neighbor of the La
Forge rendering tanks at Boone and
l will say the odor from it is sicken-
ing and 1 will say it has killed the
sale Of my farm $50 per acre.. l did
not know the plant was here or ]
would not have come and I have
taken it up with the State Board OF
Health and also the Iowa Dairy and
Food Commission and they referred
me back and forth. l have had the
Wuole AeAeAooi Hoou vi w
remove the plant from SO close in
to town and have failed so far.
w. T. Parks: I will state that ]
know that it is a nuisance to any
place. l know it because I have
had to close my doors many a time
by the wagons going by my door.
There are a number of other
statements of similar character, but
these will suffice to convince the
people of Webster City that a rem
dering plant, if conducted similar to
that near Boone, is not wanted here.
So far as the Freeman-Tribune is
concerned it does not want a nuis-
ance anywhere and will not give its
sanction to anything within a half
mile or mile Of any home which 1t
would not be willing to have with
in that distance of its W home.

AMONG THE
SEED CORN GROWERS
A Number of Prizes Awarded-Wm
Shumaker, Southwest Of Town,
Takes First,

During the past ten days the Web
ster City Implement company have
been conducting 4 contest among the
seed corn growers of Hamilton coun-
ty which eliminated Saturday in
the judging of the products of the
growers by J. v. Wooters of the Elk
tension Department of the State Ag-
ricultural college at Ames, who was
in the city for the purpose of ad-
dressing the boys enrolled in the
corn growing contest promulgated
by the First National bank.
The contest was conducted for the
purpose of a~scertaining the best seed
corn growers in the county and four
prizes were awarded the winners.
The kind Of corn to be judged was
not designated.
VIM. Shumaker, residing three
miles south of town, won first place,
and was given the first prize, which
was a Kewanee hog oiler valued at
$3.50.
w. j. Irving. from southwest Of
the city, won second place. receiving
in turn IS Kewanee corn hangers.
VIM. Lessels. also living southwest
of town, took third place and receiv-
ed SO of the hangers.
r T loyI D;oIyforI nocf 1e <ou-r vyn
awarded the fourth prize, that of Is
corn hangers.
A peculiar incident Of the contest
was noted in the fact that Mr.. Shu-
maker, who carried off first honors,
secured his seed originally from Mr..
Irving. The improvement of a we'll
known high class seed speaks we'll
for the cultivation methods employ
ed by Mr.. Shumaker.
The company under whose aus
pices the contest was staged, are
greatly pleased over the interest
aroused and the very excellent quail
ity Of the products shown, and in
tend next year to make much more
preparation for a similar
event.
The old days of %slipshod farming
methods are past. 1t is a vital prob
lem for the farmer of high priced
Iowa land to meet the increasing de-
mands for his products and to secure
the best possible quality and the
quantity without depicting
the land Of it's productiveness.
The time is surely coming when
Iowa farmers will be forced to en-
ploy the methods of intensive culti-
Walton now practiced in a majority
Of the old world countries.

rect there were other complications
that puzzled the doctors.

A FEW FACTS
ABOUT IOWA DAY
Friday, October 10th, is Day Chosen
by Greater Iowa Association
to Celebrate.

Believing tina: the children o.
Iowa should know more about theil
own state and it's wonderful resourc
les, the Greater Iowa Association
have chosen Friday, October 10th, a!
a permanent date upon which tt
make appropriate celebration. Upor
that date, schools have been asked
to give especial programs and news
papers have been asked to aid in dis
seminating knowledge of Iowa.
No section of the world Of equa,
area is as productive as Iowa. lowe
ranks first among the states of the
union in the value of horses, swine
egg production, poultry and farm
implements and in the number of au.
tomobiles per capita. In egg produc-
tion alone Iowa nearly doubles in
value all the oranges grown in the
United States.
The value of farms of seven OF
Iowa's average tcounties is greater
than all the farms of Oregon, Idaho,
Montana, Maryland, Massachusetts,,
West Virginia, New Jersey. Louisi-
ana, Mississippi or Alabama.
The farms of Iowa are worth more
than the farms Of Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Vermont. Massachusetts,.
Rhode Island. Connecticut, New Jer-
sey, Delaware. Maryland. West Vir-
ginia, South Carolina, Florida, Ala
bama, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, New
Mexico, Montana and Wyoming COM
bined.
We hear so much about Oregon
and Idaho apples, but Iowa's apple
crop is worth Tor than that of Ore
gon and Idaho combined.
Iowa's farm implements are worth
more than the farm implements of
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts,, Rhode Island, Con-
necticut, Montana, Idaho. Wyoming,
Colorado. New Mexico, Arizona and
Nevada combined.
Iowa's corn crop brings more
money than all the wheat Of Canada.

PASSES FROM EARTH
Former Hamilton County Resident
Dies in Texas Wife Died
Six Weeks Ago. 'a"*

Word was received here today
from Donna, Texas, stating that
Prof. D. A. Kent, a former Hamilton
county resident, had passed away on
Oct. 18th at Donna, after a linger'
ing illness with tuberculosis.
Mrs. Kent passed away of the same
disorder the first week in September
and her husband was at that time
able to be up and around. The death
Of the two leaves, a son and daugh.
ter, both unmarried, in Donna and a
married daughter somewhere in
Iowa.
The word was circulated in this
county in June that Prof. Kent had
been killed by the Mexicans and his
body found in a thicket Of mesquite.
This report was reputed later as
without foundation.
The deceased attained consider
able publicity in Iowa about twenty
years ago while a resident of Jew
ell, when he bought Mud Lake, ly-
ing between Kamrar and Jewell-a
tract covering about 1000 acres
and drained the same for a farm.
The project was a new one and the
originator of the plan met with fin
ancial difficulties which forced him
to give up his holdings. The drain
ed area has since been developed in
to fine farm land but the original
plan netted the originator nothing.
