oRDERs RETURN or COIN
70 BUYER OF ARID LANDS

Judge Wheeler in the district
court Thursday entered a decree
in favor of Lillian C. Ellis grant
ing her a judgment of $2O,38i and
costs from Annis & Rolling,
dealers in Colorado lands. Mrs.
Ellis purchased 48O acres of
land from the East Denver irri-
cation district in Adams county,
Colorado in 1909. A. d. Annis,
the salesman, set forth that the
Antero reservoir at the head
waters of the Platte would fur
nish water to all of the tract of
and. In November, 1914, Mrs.
Ellis found that a considerable
portion of the land could never be
irrigated. She therefore offered
to deed the land back to Annis &
Rohling, but they refused to ac-
cept it and pay her back the Si4,-
100 she put into the project. The
court ruled that she could re-
;cind her purchase within a rea-
sonable time after she found that
the land was not what it was ad-
vertised. She is ordered to ex-
ecute a deed to the land in favor
of Annis & Rohling.-World-
Herald.

Car Turns Over.

Yesterday while driving his au-
tomobile on the Sunnyside road j.
N. Tamisica turned out to avoid
a mud hole and the car skidded,
turned over, throwing the nine
occupents into the mud. Luckily
no one was injured, but were
badly frightened and somewhat
muddy.
One of the ladies was holding a
baby which was asleep on her lap
at the time of the accident and
when they tipped over she threw
the baby and it rolled down a
grassy embankment and the jolt
did not even awaken it. The car
was slightly damaged, a bent
fender and a broken axle.

contests and a musical program.
The parlors were very prettily
decorated in orange and green,
which assisted in carrying out
the program of the evening. AS
each entered committee pinned
names upon their backs, thus di-

W. II. Mathews, owner of the
Sunnyside dairy, claims to own
the prize COW of Iowa if not of
the whole country. Since March
1 this COW has averaged over nine
gallons of milk a day and has
been gaining a little each day, so
it is thought she may reach nine
and half or ten gallons. Mr..
Mathews has been offered SIS for
the calf and $500 for the COW, but
refuses to part with either. The
COW is a we'll bred Holstein and is
comparatively young.

Venice chamber o commerce IN
vites your interest and support
in behalf of an effort to induce
congress to change the name of
the War department to Peace de-
Rartment, and the name of secre-
tary of war TO secretary of peace
Or secretary for peace.
The psychological Influence of
such a change would inevitably be
helpful and might be great, as it
would tend to develop in the minds
of people the belief that preser-
walton OF peace and not prepara-
ton for war is the purpose for
which that department. of our
government is maintained.
Shortly before his death Prof.
William James, one of the worlds
greatest PSYCHOLOGISTS and most
highly developed men, wrote as
follows on the psychological in
fluence of the constant use of the
word war" in our literature and
life:
THE word has become pure
provocative, and no government
wishing peace sincerely should
allow in ever to be printed in a
newspaper. 1t may even reason
ably be said that the intensely
sharp competitive preparation for
war by the nations is the real war,
permanent, unceasing, and that
the battles are only sort of
public verification of the mastery
gained during the peace interval"
The change we advocate would
not alter in the least degree the
the work being done and contem-
plated by the said department of
the government, but it would in
some measure, and in an ever
increasing degree, implant in the
minds of people the idea that its
purpose is the maintenance of
1peace and the preventation of
war. Such change would be de-
sirable from every point of view
and harmful in no way whatever
except from the standpaint of

war.
Will you not give this idea the
support of your thought and in
fluence? 1t is only a thought
seed as yet, but it's potentialities
are great.
An acorn may become an oak,
A thought beget nation,
And so this quiet influence
May aid peace preservation.

HOME NJ KING G--1o ~ Day.
Arrangements Are Completed for
a Home Economics short
Course.

Home making, perhaps thcsmost
important business of this com
munity, is to have its day here
five days in fact.
During these days, April 8 to
April Z, members of the extension
force of the Iowa State college
will conduct a short course in
home economics and give the wo-
men and older girls of both town
and country chance to study the
many everyday problems that
arise in making and managing a
home. The course will be under
the auspices of the Improvement
league.
There is nothing of the fad,
either in home economics or the
short course. No line of extern
SION work in Iowa is more pop
ula1 and all the year round it is
in demand in every section Of the
state. In some towns the lectur-
ers and demonstrators have been
obliged to return two and even
FIVE times to give a continuation
of their work. The course is not
!. erely cooking school, either,
nor is it intended TO furnish
amusement for those who attend.
1t is serious school of instruc-
ton in all the many subjects that
go to make up home making; it is
tased on the fact that home max
ing requires intelligence and skill
and that it is worth a. stuoy..
The short course will be held
in the library auditorium. cor
Quoted by Mrs. Miller of the ag..
ricultural college. Price Of
membership is ST. Teachers and
high school pupils SO cents.
Every family in town should be
represented.

Improving the Lincoln Highway

|
One evening last week about
forty citizens of Council Bluffs
met at the home of c. Konig-
macher and perfected plans to i'm
prove and beautify the Lincoln
highway along the new concrete
road leading north from the
Bluffs. The banks OF indian
creek, which parallels the road,
are to be graded, shrubs set out
and many trees planted. Those
from here travelling over this
road, as many of them do, will no
tice great difference by the mid
die of the summer. Dams are to
be placed in the creek to raise
the water level and give beauti-
full little stream all summer long.
The Lincoln highway leading
east from here, through Sunny
side, can be beautified in much
the same way. The new road will
be laid out in a short time and
the ground to the north can be
made a beautiful little park. Treek
and shrubs can be planted, seats
installed and the entire place
made an oasis for the tired and
dusty traveller. Many of the east
ern towns are making like inn
nrovements on the highway and
it will be but few years when the
Lincoln highway will be a boule-
ward from coast to coast.

The poor people Of France, as well
as the wealthy, are taking advantage
of the privilege recently granted by N.
MelIne, the minister Of agriculture, to
all sportsmen, Of high or low degree,
to shoot the wild game that, since the
war, has become superintendent, doing
great damage to crops.
Hares, pheasants and wild ducks
have been the chief offenders, and
these are being killed in great num-
bers, thus not only saving growing
vegetation, but furnishing food for
the people.
1t was thought at first that the min
listers instructions included only rich
sportsmen and owners Of game pre-
serves, but he made II clear in a SUBJ
sequent statement that, In the inter-
est Of agriculture. the shooting priv
ilege was extended to everybody in all
departments.
