DON'T ASK THE PAPERS
To Publish The Results OF Any
Manner of Drawings.

There are a number of people who
consider it unkind and uncharitable,
when the papers refuse to publish the
results of drawings or raffles, some
of which may be entirely harmless and
some of which may be conducted for
a. praiseworthy purpose. The newspap-
erman is left no option in the matter.
He does not decide what shall be pub
lished. Congress has taken that re-
sponsibiitHffrom him, and he simply
obeys the law. In the future, do not
blame the newspaper men. The law

C. W. Moore Tells Of Short but Fine
Vacation.

August 18th we boarded the Bur.
lington train at 4:30 p. m. and arriv.
ed in Davenport at 900 p. m. To our
surprise we were met at the train by
our Old friend and neighbor, Guy Brad
ford and family They took us to
their beautiful home in Rock Island,
Illinois, and they surely know how to
make one feel at home and enjoy
their visit. The next morning he
took us in his big car to see the sights
OF the city. Guy has become a real
estate and insurance agent and seems
to be dom good business.
In the afternoon we visited points
In Davenport. At $3.50 we babe the
Bradford family goodbye and took
the boat for st. Paul. We had a nice
trip, 1t was like one big family.
The weather was fine but. little
cool. We called for blankets which
we enjoyed through the trip.
The scenery along the river was
great and we saw acres of water lilies
and it reminded us of the Scripture
that saws Solomon in all his glory was
not arrayed like one of these. We
saw few big fish but did not catch
any as we were in the boat and they
were in the water. We arrived at
st. Paul Tuesday morning at seven
O'clock a little ahead of time. We
spent the day in st. Paul seeing the
sights. In the evening at seven
o'clock we took the M. & st. L. for
Oskaloosa. We got in to Oskaloosa
in time to catch the freight for &c.
dar. We were met there by Rev. and
Mrs. A. A. Heath of Delta and were
glad to be home again Mr.. and Mrs.
