HAMILTON COUNTY MAN
PRODUCES SECOND CROP
Experiment. Of Year Ago Is Repeated
With Suceess-QuaIity Said to 30
Equal to That Of Finest Imported
coffees = Hamilton County Also to
Produce Quantity Of Tobacco.

Special to Times Republican.
Webster City, Aug. 12.-Iowa soil
will successfully grow almost any kin
of crop, but it has never yet been
advertised as state where coffee
could be produced. Nevertheless this
is not at all an improbability. M. ].
Boughton, Of this city, who lives at
1926 Superior street, has a genuine
coffee plantation" in his garden this
season and it looks fine. After looking
over his field" and carefully estimat-
ing his crop, he thinks he will be able
this fall to harvest" fully bushel OF
coffee-which certainly ought to place
Iowa on the map as tropical state.
And coffee raising is no experiment
in Hamilton county, either. 1t was
last year that Mr.. Boughton first de-
cided to test this climate and soil for
coffee raising. And so he planted a
small amount and raised a peck. This
year he planted a larger area. He
says it is not difficult matter to raise
coffee and can see no reason why 1t
can not be successfully and extensive
ly raised in Iowa. According to Mr.
Boughton, the quality Of the coffee he
raises is equal to that Of the finest i'm
ported coffee.
Why Not Tropical Fruits?
Considerable tobacco has also been
raised hereabouts by some of the old
timers, who prefer to- cure their own
weed" If a few California or Wash
ington boosters could be turned loose
in Iowa, it is more than likely that
bananas. oranges, pineapples and other
tropical fruits could be successfully
raised on good old Iowa SOIL the like
of which can not be found any other
place on this little old round earth
Iowa soil, Iowa sunshine and Iowa peo-
pie can not be eXcelled and a COM
bination of the three can raise almost
anything that can be grown anywhere.

Washington Man Killed by Train.

Washington, Aug. 12.-James p
Hays, a resident Of East Main street,
was struck by a Milwaukee freight
train and instantly killed as he was
walking home from his work at the
button factory. Mr.. Hays, whose home
is directly south Of the factory, was
making a short cut by crossing the
railroad yards just north of the Rock
Island station. AS he approached the
Milwaukee tracks, a work train con-
sisting of an engine and caboose came
in from the east and was traversing
the, yards at a speed of about fifteen
miles an hour, according to the report
of the trainmen. Mr.. Hays, who was
very deaf, failed to notice the APP
preaching train and stepped directly
in front Of the engine, the impact
throwing him a. distance of several
yards from the spot where he was
struck. Death was practically instan-
taneous as his neck was broken

MANAGEMENT RUSHED WITH
WORK OF COMPLETING PREP
ARATIoNs FOR BIG SHOW.
EXHIBITORS RUSHING
IN THEIR ENTRIES
Stock Men, Farmers and Factory own
ers crowdins Offices Of Secretary
Concession Men Taking More Space
Than Usual, Indicating Large At
tendance.
Special to Times Republican.

II,
Des Moines, Aug. 12-With the time
for holding the Iowa state fair draw
ing near. the state fair management is
rushed with work completing the
preparations for the big fair. Conces-
sion men, stock men, farmers, exhibit
ors of all kinds of products from fac
tory as well as farm, are rushing in
their entries and crowding the offices
of the fair managers. With. the fair
starting the 23d of August, there
Is not much time left to get ready for. it.
A. R. Corey, secretary, says the way
the concession men are taking space
this year is an omen of big attend
ance. These men who make the
rounds of all the big fairs seem to fore
cast fair season accurately and APP
parently they are looking for big
crowds this year.
These concession men are shrewd
fellows" said Secretary Corey yester>
day. They can usually size up pretty
well In advance whether there will be
much of crowd at the fair or not.
Most of them have been in the big fair
concession business for years. They
make the rounds of all the impor-
tant fairs from the time our fair opens
the latter part Of August to the big
Chicago International in December.
They know about all there is to be
known about what to expect from fair
crowd.
these fellows are taking space lib
orally this year. Their 'hunch' is that
the fair will draw big crowds. OF
course we have the same idea. This
ought to be good year for attendance
with work well up, crops good and
conditions generally satisfactory"
Stock Men Active.
The live stock men apparently also
expect to make much Of the fairs this
year. For the past two or three years
hther hog cholera or foot and mouth
disease or some similar stock ailment
interfered more or less with the exhib-
Its. With last year particularly an off
year they are coming back strong this
year. The Iowa state fair now has
close to 1900 head Of cattle entered
1t Is expected there will be from 1000
to 1900 horses, around $500 head of
hogs. big sheep exhibit and over g.
900 chickens.
Iowa now has good many farmers
who are not only expert grain growers
but they have grown expert In prepar-
ing and arranging exhibits and their
handiwork is always in evidence in the
agricultural hail. Several of them
were out at the Panama Pacific expo
sition last year and not only won some
notable prizes but they also advanced
in the art Of showing and arranging
agricultural products. Hence the agri-
cultural display at this years fair
promises to be unusually good.
The management says the machinery
display will be better than ever. Some
fifty-two makes of automobiles have
been entered for the auto show which
is the first showing Of 1917 models to
be made. There will also be a large
showing of accessories.
Auto races will be put on two days
this year instead of one, both Saturday
and the last Friday. Harness derby
races will be featured this year as
usual

do a certain specified piece OF grading

petition that the fulflllment Of this con-
tract will work hardship upon him
for the reason that the grading of the
road near the house and barn Of the
plaintiff is cut OF some fourteen feet
and thus endangers the entrance to his
home and barn. The petition asks that
the defendant county and the firm Of L..
C. Wood & Co. be enjoined from doing

contract.
The case will be tried Mt the term OF
