CITY OF MUscATlNE SHOWS
COURT IT'S TROUBLES IN
BUYING FUEL.
GRANGE AGENT TELLS OF
DIFFICULTY IN BUYING
Tcstifies That Mines Refuse to Sell
Except 70 Those in Fuel Business
For Proft--Proposed Bond Issue to
Raise Money TO Open Fuel Yard Held
illegal by Court.

Muscatine, Oct 2o.-More evidence
to indicate that there exists in the
western states a combination Of coal
interests assuming the nature of a
trust we're aaauced al the continuation
of the Municipal fuel yard case in the
district court.
One of the witnesses Of the morn
ing was Postmaster Frank Eicaoff who
explained that he received, instructions
from the government last May to con-
tract for coal for the federal building.
He wrote to nine dealers for bids but
failed to get reply. He notified the
government which instructed him to
wait until July. Before the expiration
of the time, however, he was notified
from Washington that the government
would buy the coal and ship it to Nus
catine. This coal Is now being I'M
loaded.
Henry Umlandt OF the Automatic
Button afctory testified to contract
for coal made in July which was can
celled by the contractors in mid-win-
ter.
Hear Grange Agent.
A stunning blow was delivered te
the coal operators late yesterday after
noon in the district court when P. F.
Carroll testified that it Is impossible
for individuals not in the business for
profit to buy at the mines. The testi-
mony created something OF a sensation.
Mr.. Carroll is coal purchasing agent
for the Iowa state grange. He explain
ed the difficulty he had experienced in
buying coal for the Changers associa-
ton. In 1912 he had to establish q
shed at Summit so that he could pro-

No Money For Municipal Yards.
4 decision rendered in the district
court by Judge A. J. House sustains
the injunction restraining the city
from issueing bonds to conduct a
municipal fuel market The right OF
the city to operate such an institution
has not been denied however according
to city attorney Ralph U. Thompson.
Prior to the. court order the attorneys
held a conference at which time 1t was
agreed that the bond issue. ordinance
Of the city had no validity.
II was admitted that there existed
no statute giving the city power to
Issue bonds for such q purpose.
ely Attorney Thompson claims
victory in that the point at Issue was
the question Of legality Of a fuel yard.
He declares that the court order does
not attack the right OF the city to enter
upon such an enterprise.

ANY CORN LIFTS OUT,

It's like magicl

Sore, corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind of a corn, can harmlessly be
lifted right out with the fingers If you
apply upon the corn few drops OF
freezone, says a Cincinnati authority.
For little cost one can get small
bottle Of freezone at any drug store,
which will positively rid ones feet of
every corn or callus without pain.
This simple drug dries the moment
1t is applied and does not even irri-
tate the surrounding skin while ap.
plying 1t or afterwards.
This announcement will interest
many of our readers. If your druggist
hasn't any freezone tell him to surely
get a small bottle for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.

Field surveys disclosed that fields
with graded terraces where the grades
varied were in better condition than
were any having uniform graded ter
races.
The profiles of the grade lines of
these terraces showed a tendency of
the grade to increase toward the out
lets, short distance at the upper end
of the terrace being level. This prac-
tice possesses much merit. The grade
is increased at intervals along the ter
race to accommodate the continually
augmented discharge from the increas-
ing size of the drainage area. A les
ser grade may be used at the lower
end of variable-graded terrace than
is required for q uniform-graded ter
race of the same length. This is due
to the fact that q smaller rate of rain
fall can be used, since with the lesser
grade of the variable-graded terrace,
the time required for the water to
flow the length of the terrace is great
er than for the uniform-graded ter
race.
Studies and calculations show that
the lengths Of a variable-graded ter
race that can be used, for a grade of
0.5 per cent at the lower end, are 1870,
1880, and LOO feet on slopes of 5,
10 and 10 per cent, respectively, as
compared with lengths of 1,210, 970,
and 820 feet for terraces with uni
form grade Of 0.5 per cent.
In laying off terrace with variable
Grade, the grade should be increased
at intervals of 200 or 300 feet and at
all sharp bends where the terrace
crosses a gully or depression in field.
For example, If it is desired to lay off
terrace on 10 per cent slope, 1,200
feet long and with vertical spacing
of feet, and the grade of the terrace
is to be changed every 300 feet, then
the grades would be as follows:
