PERSONAL BRIEFS.
(From Saturdays Daily.)

Rev. w. ]. Todd and family re-
turned home last night from their
vacation trip to Canada. Crops in
Canada look well in the places they
We're in, and for the most part are
fine in Iowa and Minnesota in the
sections through which they passed.
OF course, the war and war ques-
lions are the leading topics of dis
cussion in the dominion, and just
now interest in the CONSUMPTION is
sue is at white heat. The French
Canadians in the eastern sections
are disloyal as rule and they are
practically unanimous against the
prosecution of the war. The west

but this took place in the vicinity
of Manila and Manning Monday.
The total amount received from the
sale of all farms was just $2l7,-
33s.
The first bid on the James Nc
Cracker 10 acre farm was $215 per
acre and it was sold for 1854, a to-
tai of s27,94O. This farm should
have brought more, for the purchas-
ers. Messrs. F. D. Reinking and w.
H. schrader, of schleswig, received
an offer considerably more after the
sale.
The next farm sold was the
Adolph Ehler farm, located one mile
north of Manila. This started off
with a bid of $3.50, and in less than
fifteen minutes w. G. Wenzel,
neighbor, had purchased it for $2O5
per acre, making total of $29,725
for the so acres.
The Flint farm, located one mile
north of Manila, was the last sold
before dinner, making the third sold
in about two hours. The first bid
was $145, and it was soon knocked
off for $175, which made the price
$25,375 for the las acres. John
Veneck Of Manila was the lucky one
to purchase it.
After dinner the crowd drove to
the Peter Roggendorf farm, located
at the eastern edge of the town OF
Aspinwall. This very good farm
started off with bid of $215 and
was quickly raised to $244.75, and
Jake Carson, a farmer who lives
nearby and appreciates the worth OF
Iowa farm land, was named as the
new owner.
The Clousen farm, one mile north
of Manning, did not bring the price
many expected it would. 1t started
at 5000 and Bert Mitchell of West
Side, offered 1896, which drew this
prize, costing him s37.760.
The Kiel farm, which joins Man
ming on the west, was the next on
the catalogue. tt consists of 143
acres and went to Col. Pat Mcclure,
who owns 1000 acres of land near
Holstein, but, recognizing it was a
bargain, and warning those present
that he had bid on it for himself,
bought it for s2S5 per acre. The
first bid was $500 and the gentle.
man from Cork paid $33,6O5 for it.
The second and last farm sold was
the Mclaughlin farm, which con-
sists of 140 acres and is located fivA
miles south of Manning. Mr.. Nc
Laughlin sold this farm recently to
Frank North, who was owner of the
farms sold, for $3.50 per acre, and
has since learned that all other
farms have increased in value when
he sought an investment, and it is
rumored that this is what prompted
his son, Charles E., to buy the old
home place. 1t started at $175 and
was purchased at $1S3.75, making a
total of $46,5O0.

now dragging us out Of bed, SO, for
goodness sake, let us peel out Of our
nightgowns and get into our work
ing clothes. Let's do something.
Let's get ready for what is coming
later. After we whip the kaiser the
chances are we won't find much at
Berlin, nor money to buy shoes. Let
us work to the best advantage in
our preparations for the peace drive,
when we will have to compete with
the crushed labor of Europe.
It is difficult to get the German
study question out Of the heads of
lot of our school superintendent
and college professors. They can
not "see the reason why being at
war with Germany should cut any
ice with studying that language.
Ding says congress might learn a
lot in the trenches. Might it not be
splendid idea to send our school
men-some of them-to Ypres and
Lens?
At the present time there is a
good military reason for stopping
the printing Of German of any kind
or nature in America. This fact
will become more apparent as we
get deeper into the war, and state
and national action will soon be wit
messed in the matter of German
printing. If German newspapers,
now reflecting Germany sympathy,
are in need of military supervision
AS they undoubtedly are-there
is also great need Of ceasing to foist
this language upon the people, par
r1cuiarIy native born American peo-
pie. The time to be American is
now. In this day of national peril,
when we are attempting to apply
practical and scientific methods to
farming, food raising and general
modes of living in order that we
may have perfect CONSERVATION
of our resources, let us conserve the
American language by not wasting
our efforts on the language of our
enemies. The call to arms is being
sounded to the school boards. Are
they red-blooded Americans, or are
they still asleep?

1t doesn't matter what old King
Leopold did in Africa years ago. He
was brutal old tyrant, type of
autocrat which is still rampant in
Europe. Old Leopold should have
been hung, and kings and kaisers
and czars and sultans of today who
are doing as Leopold did ought to
be lined up against a wall and shot
full of holes. 1t is a useless at
tempt at justification of grievous
wrong for pro-Germans at this time
to undertake to mitigate the crimes
OF Germany against Belgium by in
sisting that they are no worse than
the crimes committed against Bel
gian South Africa by Belgium under
Leopold. 1t is now quite generally
conceded that Leopold was crazy. If
Germany is ready to admit that the
kaiser is crazy, an excuse will have
been found for the crime against
Belgium.

Some of the fellows who came
over here from Germany to better
their condition now seem to think
they made a mistake in coming
here. However that may be, it is
plain that the United States made
a grieyous mistake in letting them
come, and it is making a bigger one
in letting them stay. Every last
naturalized traitor in the United
States ought to be ordered out Of
the country.

This morning the Freeman-Trib-
une received quotations from the
Homestead company and the Regis
ter company at Des Moines, an
nouncing an increase in the price
of halftones and zinc etchings. AS
strange as it may appear, both an
nouncements came in the same mail
and the prices quoted are exactly
alike. They certainly have some ex-
perts in the Homestead and Register
offices to figure on prices.

There is no use now of talking
peace, because Germany is not ready
for any sort of peace that does not
give her substantial victory. The
German government thinks that be-
cause the kaisers troops won great
victories at the beginning of the
war before the allies were ready,
that Germany is entitled to be re-
garded as the victor. However,
Germany is not winning any victor
les now of any consequence, but on
the contrary, is losing steadily.
