cousin of Mrs. Altha Daubney, OF
Decorah, arrived here Sunday night
from the battlefields Of France. He
was terribly wounded at the battle

He made short visit here at the
home of his uncle and aunt, Mr.. and
Mrs. Ammi Smith, and was then TAX

take the following extracts from our
Frankville correspondence concern

YOu Can't Dodge Them.

Heaven help the man who imag-
ines he can dodge enemies by trying
to please everybody! If such an indi-
vidual ever succeeds, pass him over
this way that we may have one look
at his mortal remains ere he vanish

his abiding place. Now we do not
infer that one should be going thru
this world trying to find beams to
knock and thump his head against,
disputing every mans opinion. fight

who differ from him That, again, is
another extreme. Other people have
their opinions; so have you. Don't
fall into the error of supposing they
will respect you more for turning

the color of theirs. Wear your own

it would be a pretty nice thing if ev-

year than for many years before. No
doubt many of them are carrying big

who owed them accounts would just

FARMERS LEAGUE
IN POLITICS
Representative of National Non-Par.
tisan League Visited Decorah
Friday Looking up Pros

THE IOWA FARMER DOESN'T
NEED AID OF THE LEAGUE
Our Farmers Are Independent And
are Not Lonesome, and Doing
Mighty Well Every Year.

Last week a representative of the
National Non-Partisan League visit
ed Decorah looking up the prospects
OF getting local farmers Interested
IN this league. Just why they think
Iowa farmers want to Join a league
or this kind we do not know. The edi-
tor OF the Cedar Rapids Gazette has
some pertinent things to say on the
subject.
The Gazette does not predict
great immediate success and lasting
tame for the politicians who, having
fallen outside the breastworks of
the older parties, are engaged in al
EFFORT to organize in Iowa the farm
ers' league and to make it a force
to be reckoned with in state affairs.
The Iowa farmer as a rule is eth
er republican or democrat, and he
adheres so persisteItly to his party
that it is superfuous to ask him or
his neighbors as to his attitude. Re-
turns for period of years show that
the farm vote in Iowa is an element
nearly as dependable as rainfall or
mean annual temperature. The Iowa
farmer is "sot in his ways" which
fact saves campaign committees a
world of speculation as to the out
come in any contest presenting STAN
dard issues.
The Iowa farmer does not feel
lonesome even il his dislikes or his
symptoms OF grief. He freely fra
ternizas sawith-tA town man when
medicine for long hike on
the war path. He doesn't care rap
whose scalp he takes, a1d, necessar-
lily in farming communities, those
who have suffered the greatest loss
Of hair at biennial sun dances have
been farmers themselves. The grew
ance that would be made the basis Of
the new political ailnfent is imported
from North Dakota. 1t is not accli-
mated in this latitude nor is it adapt
ed to the rich alluvial soil of Iowa
that produces crops in complete var
iety.
The great number of men who are
active in politics have some object
in view-some definite result they
wish to realize. Results are attained
by majority action or by powerful mi
nority iIterposition. The farmers
league cannot be expected to qualify
in either division. 1t appeals to few
er people than were enlisted under
the banner Of populism, and that doc
triIe never spread beyond the brown
grass country where it had been
by poor crops and circum-
stances generally untoward, in no
sense representing conditions in gen
eral throughout the United States
and being wholly misunderstood and
totally discredited in the regions
whore normal economic conditions
prevailed.

Iowa. No political pain-killer is need
