Tells of Canada Winter.

In a letter from Mrs. M. L. Edging-
ton, former resident of Decatur
county, now residing near Pancras,
Alberta, Canada, the Edgington fam
lily having resided on farm south
east of Leon for several years, Mrs.
Edgington writes some interesting
news which her many friends here
will read with interest. She says:
Winter has set in in earnest. 1t
was 80 degrees below zero last night.
But up to Christmas day it has been
very nice weather. One thing that
impresses me here, is the nice wealth
er, all fall having been just as pleas
ant and warm as in Iowa.
Mr.. Edgington is all taken up with
the country. His wheat made 20
bushels to the acre. He shipped q
car load, have not received the re-
turns yet but got word it graded No.
/ Northern. The oats were good.
Mr.. Edgington had in Is acres and
his son Ralph had all his place in
oats. They did not thresh half the
oats, only 100 bushels for Ralph.
Oats are ~ cents. It costs cents
for threshing oats and z cents for
threshing wheat. They have most

crops. They have riding machinery
and level ground mostly. Mr.. Edg-
ington is much better satisfied here
than ON the farm near Leon. There
was lots of SO bushel and so bushel
wheat raised in Alberta, but not on
new land. The big crops are on
summer fallow. We roasted two
turkeys Christmas and had some
neighbors in. Turkeys are only Ii
cents a pound. Actually we have
been roasting turkey until ! am tired
Of the job. shall enclose $500 to

STOCK PENS
OF the G. & o. Railroad VIII Be Re.
moved From the Present Location
to Limestone Street Yards.

Superintendent J. B. Harris of the
Cincinnati division of the c. & o. Rail-
road was In this city yesterday and in
a conference with Mayor Lee showed
him the plans for the building of new
stock pens in the company's yards on
Limestone street.
The pens will be made of concrete
and will be up-to-date in every partic-
ular. The floor will be of concrete as
will be the fences. Flushers will be
placed in the pens to allow them to be
frequently cleaned. The work will
begin within the next sixty days.
Several days ago the Board of
Health. notified the c. & o. that they
would be expected to clean up the
place at once. This will be done i'm
mediately but will be temporary. Gin
ders were ordered from Silver Grove
and the place will be cleared up quite
q bit
The move of building new stock
pens is a good one and will greatly
help the farmers in the western part
OF the county. They have had to
drive all the way through the town
with their stock and often times this
is great deal of work for them. The
pen will be centrally located and a
great Improvement over the old ones.

heavy compared with American stand

Apparently the impression is grow
! ing in England that the legal profess
sion is costing the tax payers more
than 1t deserves, that it is securing a
share of the public revenues altogeth-
er out of proportion to the number and
| services of its members. The roll of
lawyers in Great Britain is far smaller
than in the United States and there are
far more handsome plums to be dis
tributed. Admiral Jellicoe's services
are bringing him financial reward of
less than ten thousand a year, and Sir
John French, field marshal, command
ing the British army in France, was
on the pay sheet at $500.
In the old time public life of Great
Britain there was a reason in theory
for payments to the legal members of
the cabinet, and officers of the crown
higher than given their colleagues in
other fields of work. Most statesmen
came from the old families, the tradi-
tional ruling caste. They were sup
posed to be men of hereditary wealth
who were willing to give their service
for the public welfare, while the legal
officials were professional men who
must sacrifice their private practice
when holding office. In the later day
of democracy, particularly with the

! large number of lawyers, the old ira

CHARITY BALL TO

Postpone Annual Event Until Thanks
giving Week-W. A. ROsenfield
as Chairman.

At joint meeting of the commit
tees from the Associated ChaSties and
the Visiting Nurse association held
this morning at the Rock Island club,
1t was decided to hold a charity ball
In November instead of during the late
winter months as in other years. 1t
was decided to hold the ball during
the week of Thanksgiving and W. A.
Rosenfield was held over as chairman
of the joint committee to have the af-
fair in charge. The ball was post
poned until the later date so that it
would not conflict with the big ball to
be given by the Davenport Woman's
club at the Coliseum, Feb. %.
Charity balls given in Rock Island
during the last two years have been
very successful affairs and have netted
the two charity associations large
sums of money with which to carry
on their work. 1t is hoped that by
having the ball in the fall the money
may be available for use during the
months when it is most needed.
