Improbable The officials are showing
little sympathy for the man who en-
cages in the business of dealing in in
toxicating liquors, contrary to the pro-
hibitory law, and the malefactor is not
entitled to sympathy. When man en-
ters that business, he does so with his
eyes open to the penalties if he is
caught. 1t is a nefarious business at
best, not to be compared in any degree
with that of the liquor dealer, who oper-
ated a saloon under the provisions OF
the mulct law, the repeal Of which be-
came effective January l. The latter

and likewise by the sentiment of the

Iowa has also had something of a
fruit crop. It's strawberries are as
famed for their generous proportions
and remarkable sweetness as the Cali
fornia orange. and it's apples have a
lusty and tart flavor found only in fruit
that has been grown in n cold and Wig
orous climate. Apples are something
like men and women--the best varieties
are to be found in the northern ,lati-
tudes. Look at the blush on the round
cheeks Of that Wealthy apple! The i'm
pudent huss2 Is expressing its pity for
the insipid fruit OF the irrigated west
Ths apple contributes the important
part of apple pie apple sauce and bak-
ed apples. Possibly apple dumping
should be included in this list First
among these is the baked apple. fresh

COMING OF FARM TRACTOR.


The best evidence that the farm trac-
tor is practical is found in the fact that
so many practical men are willing TO
put money into patents and the exper-
mental work of manufacture in order
to be properly entered for the grand
race for business that will come later
The quality Of race is usually judged
by the number and prominence OF he
starters.
The practtcability Of the farm tractor
is not in dispute. Those who are con-
WINGED that it will not do the work re-
quired of it are as rule, grocery store
and barber shop farmers VINO are
equally in doubt as to the ACCESSIBILITY
Of keeping horses on farm, COWS IN
a dairy or a roof on the barn. Inc
farmers know that the engine as an &C
cessory to their operations Is success
ana that it is already regarded as
necessity For stationary work OF all
kinds it has largely supplanted hand
power, wind power and horse power.
The question-and the only one-in
connection with the tractor Is to obtain
mobile engine that will propel itself
and move a load on an economical
basis.
Its working capacity and cost of up
keep must be figured against the work
ing capacity and cost of upkeep OF the
horse. In any case of doubt, the horse,
as a long time friend Of man, will be
given the advantage and the decision.
There are elements of pride of owner
ship and pleasure Of companionship on
the side of the horse. Dollars and cents
will be on the side Of the tractor and 1t
will win out as the automobile has won
over the coach team and carriage. Time
required for work will be powerful
factor in favor Of the machine. The
modern farmer knows that his profits
are augmented by increase OF speed 1t
may be predicted that within ten years
the tractor business will rival the auto
mobile business in value.

ITALIANS SAID TO HAVE
THE MOST UGLIEST UNIFORMS

HEADQUARTERS OF THE ITAL-
IAN ARMY, Oct 24-The uniform of
the Italian army is said to be both the
ugliest and the least visible of any
worn in Europe. Its wearer doesn't
even make shadow" said one visitor
recently among the party of American
officials that accompanied Ambassador
Thomas Nelson Page to the front.
The color is officially described rs
gray-green. An Englishman tried to
convey his idea of it as follows: take
some blue Nile mud, rub in carefully
two pounds of ship rat hair, paint a
roam horse with the composition, and
then you will understand why the Aus
TRANS can't see the Italian soldiers in
broad daylight at fifty yards"
The color was adopted ten years ago
especially for use in mountain fight
ing. 1t and a sand-colored yellow for
the Italian troops is expected to take
part in African desert fighting, is IN
the case of the Tripoli war.
The Italian army was among the
first to make a science of the question
of uniform colors. 1t did not select
for instance, the horizon-co uni
form adopted more than a year ago by
the French because while this is the
least visible on roads and plains of a
fiat, open country, itw ould not do
we'll in the rains and muds among the
trees of the mountains.

SIGNED ARTICLES BY
NAME Of LEO FRANK

PANAMA, Oct 24-Protest by will
liam Jennings Price, American Min
lister to Panama, against the appoint
ment of Judge Demosthenes Arose
mena as attorney general of the Re-
public, have caused considerable COM
ment here.
Mr.. Prices objections to Judge
Arosemena are based on the latter's
alleged anti-American acts, dating
back to the time when, as superior
judge of the criminal court he dealt
with the cases of Panama policemen
who shot unarmed American soldiers
on the streets of Panama on July 4,
1912, and on two occaions in the spring
of 1915. In these cases there was no
doubt, to the foreign element, at least,
that the policemen had shot with NAL
ice or in a degree of excitement which
bordered on criminal unftness.
In the case of the Fourth of July
riots, Judge Arosemena delivered an
opinion in which he denounced the
conduct of the American soldiers and
found that only one of the score of
policemen arraigned was guilty of mis-
conduct. This one had been dead about
month at the time the opinion was
delivered. In subsequent cases the
American Minister insisted that Judge
Arosemena be not allowed on the
bench.
Further venting his alleged gr1ev-
ances against the Americans, Judge
Arosemena last year published, under
the non de plume of Leo Frank" an
arraignment of the American conduct
of affairs on the Isthmus in which he
made caustic comments on Gov. Goe-
thals and other Americans officials and
the commissary stores of the Canal,
which he claimed were running the
economical independence of Panama.
He has published other less virulent
anti-American notes over his own
namt.
Recently Judge Arosemena published
letter in which he disclaimed any
arti-American feeling, saying the OPP
position to him was purely a matter of
personal spite. A year ago he went to
the United States to study penal insti-
tutions and at the instance of the Sec
rotary of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Price
gave him letter of introduction, in
which he spoke of him in commenda
tory terms. 1t is reported that Arose
mena is using this letter to prove that
Price once thought highly of him and
has changed his mind for personal
reasons. Mr.. Price denies this, and
says he has no objection to Judge
Arosemena's appointment to any other
post than that of chief prosecuting Of
ficer.
