her conscience troubled her to such a
point that she could stand the strain
no longer, a woman living at Colfax
sent so cents by mail to Fred W. Carl

'I wish to pay for 1t and beg your
forgiveness the woman wrote. Il

Mr.. Carl does not even remember
the woman who sent him the money.
The letter was addressed to Carl at

THINK 1T POSSIBLE
TO LAWS

Mason City, Jan. 24.-Mason City
authorities are proving that it is pos
sible to enforce prohibition even In an
industrial community with a large
foreign born population. The con
sumption Of liquor has been sharply
reduced here since the city became
dry and the work of the county grand
jury cut to a point that would have
been believed impossible a few wears
ago.
Local legislation and the bargain
the city authorities made with the
legal departments of the various
railways and express companies en-
tering the city have contributed
greatly to the enforcement OF the
prohibitory enactment.

Good Effects of Grass Hoppers
Led to Stock Raising and Attenuation Of Crop.

While the grasshopper raids during the seventies caused great
hardship to the settlers in northwestern Iowa, there were also bene-
fcial results. IN an indirect way" says Mr.. John e. BRIGGS, In a.
publication by the State Historical Society OF Iowa, "the locust
ravages did a great service to the agricultural interests OF north
western Iowa by making stockraising a necessity. Many farmers
went Into the dairy business. But for the coming OF the grassnoppers
the custom of farming exclusively for grain would probably nave
continued for many years, to the general Impeachment OF inc
soil. In the struggle to produce crops in spite of the grasshoppers II
was discovered that by a proper adjustment of the crops the ravages
Of the insects could be avoided. When there were eggs IN the GROUND
corn. planting could be postponed until the locusts had lett, aha
when the coming of fresh swarms alone was to be reared, py s "
early wheat oats, and barley the harvest could be eliec.e aro oepU ie
their arrival. This compulsory alienation of crops was or I'LL
portance in preserving the fertility of the land. The fact te
grasshoppers did comparatively little injury to prairie grass may
have been a factor in the development Of the grazing industry IL
the western plains"
