Collect Insurance on the
Pfanschmidt Home.

Quincy Wing: The Farmers Mutual
Life Insurance company of Payson,
has recently been notified by Wichita
collection agency of d claim placed in
its hands by Ray Pfanschmidt for the
collection of the insurance on the
Pfanschmidt home. The insurance
amounts to about $500 or $500 and
the company has refused to pay the

The same collection agency is also
handling a claim fled by Pfanschmidt
for $4,000 against Joseph Freese for
the grading contract that Pfanschmidt
was working on at the time Of the
Pfanschmidt murder. The contract
was not fulfilled and the contract is
contested by Freese.

SCARCITY OF MEN
IN THE OIL FIELD
But the Development Goes on Steadily
With Many Good Wells Making
Fine Showing.

PLYMOUTH, Ill.,, May 23.-The
Wild Cat we'll on the c. s. Bartlett
lease, one mile west Of Colmar, was
a disappointment: no oil.
The fourth well is being drilled on
the Mrs. Sarah McAllister leases,
owned by Frank Wireback.
No. Is on the John Bfnnie farm and
No. is on the A. N. Wear land have
each been drilled in and are both
good wells.
No. 8 is just in on Stodseli. 1t Is
hardly so good as the other wells. He
is now realizing 81 per hour from his
oil interests.
A we'll is being drilled on the Mrs.
C. e. Bowman farm. This Is an Off
set to the Mitchell lease.
Another well was recently shot on
the William Conn lease.
The Royal Oil and Gas company OF
Quincy drilled In their first well on
their portion of the Charles Aleshfre
farm Thursday. 1t is good well.
Hall and Snowden are drilling their
fifth well on this farm.
There is a scarcity Of men in the
oil field, consequently things don't
hum as loud as they would otherwise.
But there is always lots doing in the
oil field and there is great fascina-
ton about it to those concerned.

Hamilton, ILL.,, May %

The possibility that wide lake sur
faces might have a strong influence
on the amount of moisture evaporated
and finally precipitated, is not thought
of. But we believe the day will come
when the United States government
will assist in plan very much bet
ter than raising huge levees along the
lower sissippi-namety the build
ing of large basins where water may
be stored and pumpCd 10 the higher
levels when needed. Suppose basin
were located on every section and a
pump to force the water to irrigating
bitches all through that mile square.
OF course in many places one basin
might serve more than one section.
We are in no sense a civil engineer,
but we spent more than thirty of our
first years on an Illinois farm, have
always taken keen interest in the
work which is the base of all pros
perity, and we believe the day will
come when we will do here in Amer
lea just as intensive, just as thorough
farming as was ever done in Egypt,
China, Europe or anywhere, but when
we do reach that point we viii be
found using to the greatest advantage
every element which makes for sue
cess. We will not then be allowing
fields and pastures, roadsides and
hilltops to be growing useless, soil
killing weeds. We will not be burn

ing refuse which ought to be given
back to the soil; will not be rushing
to the ocean precious water which
ought to be kept for growing wheat,
corn and vegetables. The water will
then be doing what it evidently was
intended to do, help furnish man and
beast nth the best of fOodstuffs in
stead of sweeping from our hills and
valleys the best of our soil, only to
carry it at last to places where it is
curse and not wanted. You farm
ers may think the writer is indulg-
ing in nothing but n dream. Well, we
are not worrying as to what you may
think. We believe it is a part of
every mans duty to say and do those
things which seem to him to give
promise of the greatest good, to the
greatest number. Our dream, if it be
only a dream, is based on what we
have seen and know.

VETERAN CAMPAIGNER

An anti-suffrage rally will be held
in Keokuk Wednesday evening at the
Y. w. C. A. auditorium, addressed by
Col. ]. P. Irish, native Of Iowa ana
a veteran newspaper man and CAM
paigner Of long experience Colonel
Irish has been In politics for years,
entering "the game" when IS and a
citizen OF Iowa City. He was elected
to the Iowa legislature shortly after
becoming a voter.
For many years he was editor OF
newspaper in Iowa City, but about
S5 years ago, he sold his interest Ia
this enterprise and moved to Cali
fornia, where he became editor OF the
San Francisco Chronicle. He was a
close personal friend OF Grover
Cleveland, who appointed him naval
officer OF the Port Of San Francisco,
which office he held through succeed
ing republican administrations for Is
years. In the prime Of life he was
admitted to the practice of law and
specialized in international law with
an Office in Washington. He was re-
tanned as counsel in several impor-
tant cases of international arbitra-
ton.
In 1896 Colonel Irish, though a
democrat. disagreed radically with
Bryan on the free silver issue and
campaigned against him all over the
country, speaking in each city whera
Bryan spoke on the night following
the latter's appearance. Everywhere
he drew tremendous audiences and
ovations from his hearers at the close
Of his addresses. Older residents OF
Iowa will remember him in this
campaign and others as a man who
made up his own mind on public ques-
tons, hard hitter in debate, and one
who never failed to express his opin-
ion in emphatic and picturesque Ian
guage.

Mrs. Ed Hosford gave a pleasant
dinner Sunday in recollection Of Mr..
Hosford's birthday which occurred the
previous Friday. The guests who were

ford, Mr. and Mrs. Harrison Hosford,

There died about midnight Friday
the 10Th Of May, at the home of his
son-in-law Mr.. Newton Cochrane in
Wythe township, Mr.. Henry Hanson
at the advanced age Of "a years. Mr..
Hanson was born in the state Of New
York in 1892 In 1868 he moved with
his family in the neighborhood of
Fairfield, Iowa, where he lived until
1901 when he and his wife joine, the
family of their daughter MS. Eoch-
rane The body was shipped to Fair
field.
Mr.. ~Cangdon and assistant, the
cement post man, of whom we wrote
last week. stayed in town over Sun
day and spent Monday with some OF
our business men, going ever details
! for factory While 1t NAV take sew
eral weeks to get everything in shape,
the outlook is favorable.
| While we do not believe any Of our
| farmer friends can afford to allow
their lands to remain soaked in water
and the crops drowned. where it can
possibly be avoided, there is also
another condition to be considered
the extreme dry season. What effect
will thing have on the farm land
when there is scarcity of water? 1t
| is probably safe to say that one sea-
son with another and from the be-
ginning to the end of the season there
| is not too much Of a rainfall on any
of the land. Then when the time
comes that there is an excess OF rain
and that excess is drained off into
the rivers we not only help create
disastrous floods in the lower courses
i of the rivers, but are also sending to
the ocean water which little later
on we might be very glad to have.
! The policy we have been following is
! to cut bitches and drain the natural
reservoirs along the bottom lands,
opening up those lands to cultivation.
, 1t is usually taken for granted that
every acre thus reclaimed is just 80
much of clear value added to the
agricultural capacity Of the country.

Plug is the Best Form in Which
Tobacco Can Be Made,
and ''0Id Kentucky
is Best Plug
WHOLESOME, SATISFYING

To get the utmost of satisfying re-
freshment out of tobacco, you want a
plug chew-one that gives you the gen.
uine favor of rich, ripe leaf.
Then, too, the most wholesome and
healthful way to use tobacco is to
chew it-and the best and cleanest
form of chewing tobacco is the plug
form, in which Old Kentucky is made.
Old Kentucky is made of the choic-
est Burley leaf, in the worlds greatest
plug tobacco factory, and under the
most cleanly, sanitary conditions.
The luscious favor of Old Kentucky
is delicious revelation to any man
who has been chewing ordinary tobac-
cos. 1t is supremely satisfying.
Fresh, pure, mellow, a chew of Old
Kentucky is real chew-and you will
yealize this as soon as you taste it.
Buy 10c plug of Old Kentucky to.

1t is not necessary to shampoo quite
so frequently if your hair is properly
cleansed each time by use of a really
good shampoo. The easiest to use
- quickest dr7ing shampoo that we
can remommend to our readers may
be prepared very cheaply by dissolv-
ing a teaspoonful of canthrox, obtain
ed from your druggist, in a cup OF
hot water This rubbed into the scalp
creates a thick lather, soothing and
cooling in it's action, as well as bene-
fetal to scalp and hair. After rims
ing, the scalp is fresh and clean, while
the hair dries quickly and evenly, de-
veloping bright luster and soft
ffufiness that makes it seem very
heavy.
