Well the grand and glorious
Fourth of July has come and
gone, and a glorious day it was.
Il rained here the night before
putting the ground in fine shape,
40 dust to bother anyone, and

Early in the morning farmers be

TRAIN BUTCHER PEDDLED
BOOZE.
New Stunt in Bookkeeping Pulled OFF
by News Agent on Rock Island
Road Running Between Des
MOines and Rock Island,
Illinois.

Newton, Dec. ga news agent,
Island line between Des Moines and
Rock Island, ILL.,, is in Jail here on a
charge of bootlegging, and his stunt
was one entirely new. He made the
trip to Rock Island and came back
the next day and had regular Glen
tele along his route, to whom he
would deliver the wet goods on the
return journey. One of his customers
here was summoned before the grand
jury and gave evidence which result
ed in the placing of secret agents on
the train to watch the suspected man.
Yesterday he was seen to deliver
package to customer in Gri1neil,
and when Jasper county was reached
he was placed under arrest. In his
grip were found four quarts and one
pint of whisky. He was arraigned be-
fore Justice Carey AID pleaded gull
ty to an attorneys warrant, and when
arraigned in district court was SEN
fenced to serve three months in jail.
The fact that the man has a wife and
three children in Des Moines caused
the Judge to impose light sentence.
The agent said he had been impor-
tuned so much by friends along the
line to bring them booze that he saw
an opportunity to 60 into the bust
ness for profit. He admitted buying
the stuff at 90 cents and 95 cents per
pint in Rock Island and selling IL IN
Iowa for $3.50.

ONLY the Initiated Know.

None but the initiated know the
accuracy required in a printing Of
fee. says the Press Spectator. The
average reader who detects a mis-
spelled word or letter upside down
feels that his mission on earth is
not fully accomplished till he has
called the attention of the overwork-
ed editor to the glazing defect. He
does not notice the thousands and
tens of thousands of letters that are
in the right place nor the multitude
of words correctly spelled, but his
eagle eye is glued on the one that is
out Of it's proper place. So it is with
our deeds Man does a thousand good
deeds and no attention is paid to
them, but if he makes one mistake
it is flashed all over the world. A life
time may be spent in building up a
reputation that may be wrecked in a
moment. The world is a harsh critic
exacting to fault, and if the Faith
er of all does not temper justice with
mercy, we may fail of heaven.

LUTHER BEATS CAMPION.
Il. @. Basket Ball Team Wins From
Fast Team From Prairie Du
Chen. .

Thursday evening the basket ball
season at Luther was opened at Luth-
er gymnasium with the fast Campion
team as opponents. The game was
spirited and was enjoyed by fair
sized crowd. Although the score was
somewhat one-s.ded the teams were
quite evenly matched. Campion's long
shots for baskets were not nearly as
successful as Luther's short ones.
The game was clean, only six fouls
being made in all. The game opened
with rush and Campion soon scored
on free throw. Luther retaliated
with field goal by Natvig Campion
then took the lead with basket by
McKabe. But soon Luther's superior
teamwork began to tell and Larson
put Luther in the lead with a field
goal. After this Campion was never
in the lead.
Luther had two new players on
the floor, Sorlien and Lunde. Due to
stage-fright some fumbliag was
done. The half ended with the score
% to in Luther's favor.
In the second half Luther's de-
Tense improved. They held their OPP
ponents to one field goal and secur-
ed five themselves. Sensational shots
were made by Natvig, Larson and
Lunde. The Luther guards did some
good guarding, Sorlien holding
O'Connor, the Campion star forward
to no field goals. For Campion the
work of Cannody is worthy of men
ton.
This game marks the opening of
the second season without a defeat
for Luther, and prospects are bright
for very successful season..

THE COST OF FASHIONS.
Fashion Designer Will Curb Womens
Styles Next Year.

1t is announced that the Designers
Association, which meets at Chicago,
January Is, will curb the styles of
women's clothes. 1t is desired to con-
serve materials. They propose to Gre
ate fewer changes of styles. Presi-
dent Lenny of the association, thinks
one or two style changes a year are
enough. He will try to hold down
the exuberant fancy of the designers.
1t may be some job. Making new
styles for women has been a great
game. II the producers desired more
business, all they had to do was to
create some new styles. Then women
would throw away garments that
were perfectly good, simply because
they looked out of date. This doubled
the sale of clothing.
1t did not help retail merchants.
They had to dispose of many stocks
at large sacrifices, and they never
knew what to depend upon. The will
ingness of women to accept these fire.
quent style changes has grown out OF
the fixed tradition that it is women's
business to please the me1s New and
stylish clothing helps toward that
end.
Progressive women don't like to
feel they are mere parasites, depen-
don't for their support on the favor OF
some man. They conceive that
woman's first business is to do her
work in the world. She is under the
same obligation to please men, as
men are to please women, and no
more. Hence there is no more rea'
son why she should be taxed for in
cessant style changes than that men
should be.
The producers have made money
out of frequent style changes. sc
many factories are now supplying
war material that producers have al
they can do. So they don't need &c
trot out new style every two

This War of Science-Fertilizers

This War of Science-FertiliZers
In a previous issue reference was
made to the handicap placed on food
production in the United States by
Germany's monopoly Of the potash
supply.
Many of our rocks contain potash,
but no method of working it profit
ably has yet been devised. The old
time housewives used to get potash
out of wood ashes, but only 220 tons
are figured to have been secured from
this source last year Hopes have
been entertained of deposits on gov
eminent reservations in California,
but only 1894 tons were got out in
1916.
Also the government was hopeful
that it could be extracted in large
quantities from help on the coast of
California, but only 1000 tons were
secured last year. There is an enor-
nous reward in money and fame for
the man who will find an American
supply of this plant food. We have
already paid Germany $20,000,OoO
in past years for potash. We must
face the fact that she may be ugly
about letting us have it after the
war.
A ton of wheat takes from the soil
At pounds nitrogen, Is pounds phos-
phoric acid, and II pounds potash.
Peru and Chile are the great sources
of nitrate supply. From those beds
53,000,OOO tons have been taken
out. The experts in those countries
think the supply is in danger of ex-
haustion. Scientists of ours say there
is no danger of it. At any rate there
is always the possibility of the 1xa-
ton Of nitrogen from the air.
As to phosphates. the United
States exported 100000 worth
last year, so We are well cared Tor
there. Germany is short OF natural
phosphates, but is getting them as a
by-product in steel making. Let ey-
cry American farmer remember that
keeping up soil fertility is a vital
part of efficient war making. We are
we'll fitted up for this in every re-
spect but one, thanks to the superb
natural resources of our soils.
