Frost and the Moon.

Britt Tribune: Those fellows
who are always planting Gin the
moon" also have lot of moon
shine in autumn frost. We have
kert track recently with the vagar-
les of lincolnshire" One man will
put on look of wisdom and say,
"No frost if we get through with
out frost when the moon changes"
and insists that frost always comes
in new moon. another says that
sro.t invariably comes with q full
moon and has for umpty 'steen
years. Another looks wise and says
the dark of the moon betokens frost,
and still another that the new moon
is always tough on corn" Our ex.
periepce has been that frost univer-
sally comes when it is too cold to
so swimming. At any rate, this
Gate, Sept. 20, nearly all the corn
in this vicinity except on low ground
is frost free, but there will probably
be a lot of soft corn even if frost
doesn't cone Until November.

.|0WA'S FIRST ISSUE
OF WAR BONDS

Des Moines, Oct. S.-Iowa's first
war bond issue almost failed. The
state was seriously hindered in the
sale of it's war bonds during the civil
war through the campaign of an
eastern newspaper which attacked
the states credit and warned its
readers that the Iowa bond issue
would be unconstitutional.
In an article by DR.. Ivan l.. Pol
lock, published by the State Histori-
cal association of Iowa. it appears
that Iowa was financially unpre-
pared when the civil war broke out.
The state also was behind the other
states in military preparedness.
Banks, public officials and
wealthy citizens advanced money to
tide the state over the crisis OF the
first few weeks. But this could not
go on indefinitely And SO when
the general assembly met in special
session law was passed which au-
thorized the issuance of 100000
worth OF state bonds to create war
and defense fund. These bonds were
to be payable in twenty years and
bear Z per cent interest.
The plan was TO sell at par as
many bonds within the state as pos
sible and then offer the remainder of
tho issue to the highest bidders in
the New York market. 1t was here
that tho newspaper began it's cam
paign against the issue. The attack
had it's effecr on the sale. In spite
OF the heavy demand for the bonds,
all went below par. The state of
Iowa refused to sell for less than 80
cents on the dollar, and after about
100000 worth were sold in New
York. the issue was withdrawn.

HITS HIGH PRICE
Of IOWA COAL
Clifford Thorne Makes Vigorous At
tack on High Profits Fixed
by the President.
WILL BE HEAVY TAX ON PUBLIC
Declares Present Prices Operate to
Greatly Increase Cost to
Consumers.
WILL BE HEAVY TAX ON PUBLIC

Washington, D. c., Oct. S.-How
| the order of the President, on rec
ommendation of the Garfield fuel
administration, fixing coal prices in
Iowa and illinois has operated great
ly to increase prices for the public
instead of lowering those prices, was
fully demonstrated in the hearing
before fuel administration officials.
In this hearing, Charles Webster,
state fuel administrator, Clifford
Thorne, State Mine Inspector Ed
Sweeney and Attorney General Nc
Allister of Missouri, appeared. They
presented data which could hardly
leave question in the mind of any
one who heard it that the situation
was in serious need of being rene
died and the scale of prices as orig
inally fixed lowered.
Whether that scale will be re-
duced is not yet finally determined,
but it has become plain that the fed
eral coal administration is not ex-
hibiting any eagerness to do SO.
Mr.. Thorne, appearing for the
League of Iowa municipalities, and
the Iowa section of the National
Electric Light association, in state
ment filed with the Garfield fuel adj
ministration, summed up the situa-
ton by pointing out that the Iowa
operators before the price fixing or.
der were charging excessive prices.
He said this Constituted a grievous
and unjust burden upon the people
of the state at time when the bur-
dens of great war were being
placed upon them
But the prices fixed by tire II urd-.-
of the President Aug. /, he added,
instead of reducing the excessive
and unjust prices then being charged
by the coal operators in the state of
Iowa, did actually increase these ex-
orbitant prices from 25 per cent to
100 per cent"

Secretary Baker Gives Optimistic
Review of Present Opera
lions in Flanders.
ALLIES MAY GET SUB BASES
Drive at Heart of German Line Is
Sweeping Steadily Toward
0bjectives.
ALLIES MAY GET SUB BASES

Washington, D. c., Oct. 9.-Deci-
sive ascendancy for the allies in the
supreme test of battle strength now
taking place on the bloody fields Of
Flanders is claimed by Secretary
Baker in the weekly review of wal
operations issued last night by the
war department.
While it may be premature to as
sert that the British war machine
has forced decision over the Ger
mans, Mr.. Baker says, the victories
of the past fortnight, threatening
f, the German submarine bases on the
Belgian coast, are conclusive indica-
lions of the allies superiority. With
favorable weather, he thinks, these
victories will be repeated and ex-
tended.
The review, which is for the week
ended last night, makes no reference
to the American forces in France or
to the great preparations for war 60
ing forward at home.
",The attention of the world" it
says, lis focused on the titanic
struggle now going on in Flanders.
The battle raging there is proving
an engagement of wholly unprece-
denied scope and potentialities.
AT the beginning of the week,
owing to bad weather, the Germans
were able to launch counter attacks
against the positions recently gained
by the British, Notwithstanding the
fact that the Germans made use Of
smoke screens, liquid fire and also
brought into, action an imposing ar
ray Of artillery BY their attack
against the advanced British lines.
BBetwsen me Tower Ham1ets and
Polygon wood, as well as along the
Menin road, their efforts proved fu-
tile.
ut is significant, on the other
hand, that while the British were
sustaining the shock of German as
saults successfully, they were able
to bring up sufficient fresh troops
in order to launch another often
sive action on an even larger scale
than the preceding one, in the face
of the enemy's onslaught.
Slowly, but therefore the more
irresistibly, the allied drive at the
heart of the German line at the west
is sweeping onward"

SEASONS CAN LESS
Than PREVIOUS YEAR

Rockwell City, Oct. 6.---The Rock
we'll City Canning company closed
its season pack with a total can that
registers somewhat short of the rec
ord for last year. The plant has
been in operation steadily for about
four weeks.
Irregularity Of the corn and an
early drouth at the time when the
corn needed moisture accounts for
the company not being able to make
record this year. r. e. Burnham,
manager of the company, reports
that fields planted early did not
give as good yields as had been ex-
pected because of the lack of mois-
ture. Some sweet corn planted late
returned much better yields.
Orders had been taken for a rec
ord pack. 1t is necessary now to fill
most of the orders short. The sea-
son, however, has been profitable
one for the company. tSe
A considerable percentage of the
pack will go to the government. Mr..
Burnham has received acquisitions
from the government to date for
1900 cases, and additional requisi-
lions are expected. Government
specifications call for extra stand
ard quality.

Will KELLY EVER
Be TRIED AGAIN?

Red Oak, Iowa, Oct 6.-There is
much speculation here today wheth-
err Lyn George j. Kelly, charged
with the Villisca ak murders, will
ever go to trial again. Sentiment in
Montgomery county is more pro-
Kelly than ever The hung jury in
the first trial of the minister has
stirred up considerable i'll feeling in
this neighborhood.
When the jury was discharged it
stood eleven for acquittal and one
Tor conviction. Juryman Brown,
who lives a few miles south of here,
is the man who ioted for conviction.
He wanted the guilty" sentence on
the ground that Kelly was insane.
He was not the most popular man in
the community when he made his
speech ID the judge. He departed
fer his home Immediately after the
judge dismissed the jury from SER
vice.
Much hard feeling was created
during the trial between the defense
and the states attorneys. While
the state did not seek the death PEN
atty, it did want Kelly convicted and
sent to the insane ward of the Ana
mosa reformatory which is known
as the states criminal insane asy-
lum. In the charges to the jury the
states attorneys dwelt at length on
the ACCESSIBILITY of sending Kelly
there for the remainder of his life.
They argued that he had been COM
mftted to an insane asylum once be-
fore and after eight months confine-
ment was declared sane. The state
charged that he showed signs of in
sanity a month after his release.
The attorneys for the state alleged
the same thing would happen if he
was confined in any asylum but that

nesses and evidence to prove that
Kelly was weak-minded from over
work. Kelly, however. was indig-
nant when his lawyers referred to
him as being of weak mind.
II Kelly is tried again he prob
ably will be called before the No
vember term of the court. Many
citizens of this section doubt that
Attorney General Havner will have
the case called. The attorney gen
eral himself has nothing to say at
