time. I mention these things be-
cause they have been the first to be
planted. With radishes there is only
a short period of palatability extend
ing from about a week to ten days.
It is especially short with the early
varieties. To avoid this difficulty,
thoughtful plans should have been
made Of each crop you plant. Do not
plant too much of one variety, but
plant an early then a late variety or
at intervals Of about a week 30 they
will not mature at the same time. but
extend for a period of several weeks.
Those boys and girls who contem-
plate selling their crops should be
careful not to plant too many sum-
mer vegetables. lie your major crops
be those for winter use. Remember
summer crops can only be sold al
the time of maturity and there are
about 200 boys and girls with gard
ems besides several gardeners who
make a speciality of furnishing the
stores with summer vegetables
Winter crops can be stored, the prices
are more uniform and certain, and
the demand usually greater for ouI
locality.
Parents assistance and advice II
appreciated at all times; help you
boys and girls all you can. My ser
vices are yours. So again I ask thos'
boys and girls. who have not handed
in their garden plans, to do 80 at ono;
SO we can avoid as many mistakes
as possible.
There is another caution. Man.
purchased some beans which / dis
tributed. Iwould advise cot to plan
these for some time. If they ar
planted now and frost comes in
few days, every bean plant would b
frozen in the ground. A little della

Not a Killing Frost.

This vicinity had another narrow
escape from killing frost Sunday
night, and some Of the early risers,
noting the frost upon boards, vines,
grass, etc., feared that it had caught
the late corn. However, C. D. Car
penter reports the government ther-
nlometer registered "a above zero at
the coldest, land to get the corn it
must go below 80. There is still lots
Of corn in Hamilton county that is
not beyond damage by frost. Prob
ably not more than 60 per cent of
it is safe at this time. There are
quite few fields where not more
than Is per cent of the crop is be-
yond damage from freezing, and a
Freeman-Tribune man was in a four
teen-acre patch yesterday just west
of town making an inspection, and
not to exceed per cent of the corn
in that particular field is out of the
way Of a killing frost. 1t is the
Reed Yellow Dent variety and has
grown so large that it will require
at least two weeks more of good
weather to mature.

took part in the exercises did them
selves proud.

STOLEN GOODS
ARE RECOVERED
Farmer Near Jewell Finds Forty
five Suits of Clothes Hidden
in His Cornfield-There
Are Two Suspects.
B1ooDHoUNDs PUT TO WORK
Many People Went to Jewell to As
sist in the Search for the
Thieves and Property.

Friday was a busy day in Jew
ell. Hundreds of people were there
from adjoining towns and the sur
rounding country, attracted by the
hunt for the thieves who broke into
the Miller & Queensland clothing
store Wednesday night and stole in
the neighborhood Of $1,000 worth OF
goods.
Sheriff Nelson went down to Jew
ell Thursday morning to assist in
investigating the matter. He was at
Boone and Des Moines Friday, no.
tifying second hand dealers of the
thefts and warning them to be on
the lookout for the goods.
The authorities of Jewell carried
on the search in Jewell and vicinity
all day Friday and the day before,
but without satisfactory results. A
farmer near town Friday found
forty-five suits of clothes hidden in
his cornfield. He reported the facts
to the authorities, and investigation
proved they were the goods stolen
from the Miller G. Queensland store.
Deputy Sheriff Cunningham went
to Jewell on the afternoon train
Friday, and about the time of his
arrival a couple of bloodhounds ar
rived from Waterloo. The animals
were grven the scent, or what was
supposed to be the scent, and went
to work at once. The people were
much interested in the work of the
dogs and followed the animals wher
ever they went. The dogs were taken
to the cornfield where the clothes
had been concealed, and the action
of the animals indicated that the
goods had been taken to the fence in
an automobile and carried to the
place of their concealment by the
thieves. Later the animals traced
the scent to an automobile in Jewell.
A couple of men at Jewell were
held under suspicion and were
brought to this city Friday for
Investigation. There is no evidence
against them except of circumstan-
tial nature.

Some of the Reasons.

Some of the most cogent reasons
why the citizens of Iowa should vote
for constitutional prohibition on Oc-
tober Is are:
General business conditions have
improved.
Intoxication and crime have de-
creased.
The attitude of surrounding towns
since the closing of the saloons is
more favorable.
The adoption on October Is of
the prohibitory amendment as a
part of our constitution would be
an act of patriotism on the part OF
the voters of Iowa, adding to the
conservation Of food and to the eff
ficiency of every department of the
government.

TO REPRESENT THE
GOVERNOR OF STATE T
Former Assistant Attorney General
Fletcher to Look After Ex-
emption Appeals.

Des Moines, Oct. Under date
of Sept. II, 1917, President Wilson
issued an order providing that an
individual who believes that the 10.
cal or district exemption board has
enormously interpreted the law, and
that he is thereby wrongfully held
to military service, may ask the gov
ernor to reopen his case. If the
governor is satisfied, after examin-
ing the statements and affidavits
filed by the claimant, that the law
was misinterpreted in the case, he
may direct the local or district
board to reopen said case, and in
connection with this order must
show the board wherein the law was
enormously interpreted.
In order to facilitate this work
and give each case the attention it
deserves, Governor Harding has en-
gagged John Fletcher, former assist
ant attorney general, to represent
him through the adjutant generals
office in investigating these claims.
Mr.. Fletcher will gather evidence in
cases where an appeal is made for
re-opening and pass upon the legal
ity of the action of the board or
boards having jurisdiction over the
cases wherein such claims are filed.
The employment of legal counsel
in this work is made necessary by
the great number of claims that are
being filed in the governors office.
Every case that is presented to the
governor should be filed in writing,
as the volume is so great that other
wise the claims cannot receive the
attention they merit. The object of
this new ruling is to work uniformly
throughout the state and nation. 1t
is not inaugurated in the spirit of
criticism of the work done by local
or district boards, but rather to aid
them and bring about an equitable
operation of the law throughout the
entire country.

STRANGER ATTEMPTS
THEFT Of AUTOMOBILE
G. D. Carpenters Hudson Is Stolen
While Owner Is Attending
Church Service.

Mr.. and Mrs. c. D. Carpenter left
their Hudson automobile standing
near the Congregational church
Sunday morning while they attended
the service. When they were ready
to return home their car was gone
Mr.. Carpenter, suspecting that some
one had stolen it, at once notified
Sheriff Nelson and also the garages.
After making a search about town,
Mr.. Carpenter started home, and be-
fore he arrived at his residence saw
an auto standing in front of his
home-and there he found his car.
1t seems his nephew, Merritt
Howard, and another young man,
Rexford Sampson, of Stanhope, were
out riding in the latter's Ford car.
They We're east of town coming this
way when they met stranger driv-
ing Mr.. Carpenters Hudson. Mer-
ritt knew his uncle's car by its num-
Der as soon as he saw it, and, seeing
a stranger driving it, he knew at
once that something was wrong. The
occupants of the Ford stopped the
stranger and asked him whose car
he was driving. He claimed it was
his car, but no doubt suspecting he
would be caught, jumped out of the
auto and ran into cornfield close
by, where he was soon lost to the
two young men who pursued him.
Thereupon Merritt drove his uncles
car home.
Considering all the circumstances,
it was very fortunate that the
stranger was discovered as he was,
otherwise Mr.. Carpenter would have
been minus his car, or at the best,
if he had recovered it, it would have
been at considerable expense and
trouble. If the thief had gotten any
distance from Webster City, the
probabilities are that he would have
made good in his effort to steal the
car.

Lehigh Argus, Sept. 50: Hip, Hip.
Hurrah! Electric cars will be run
ming to Lehigh, beginning week of
October 1. And the good part of
this good news is the fact that it
will be Iowa's best and most modern
equipped electric road, The Fort
Dodge, Des Moines & Southern.
Truly Greater Iowa week will prove
to be Greater Lehigh week, for the
week of October 1, 1917, will be the
beginning of greater and more
modern Lehigh. The present editor
of the Argus took charge of the Ar
gus nineteen years ago October /,
and every year since that time there
have been one or more rumors that
Lehigh was to have one or more
railroads built into town. But the
fond hopes and the cherished
dreams have all vanished one by one,
and no railroad has been built. The
fondest dreams of the oldest inhab-
itants is soon to be realized, for the
electric line is now completed into
town, the new road is graveled, and
unless some unforeseen difficulty
arises the regular passenger and
freight schedule will be in operation
on the Fort Dodge, Des Moines &
sQlatharns antsr,lrhan Eailroad aad
out Of Lehigh the first Of next week.
The people OF Lehigh will not be
altogether new patrons, for the pas
senger trains from Lundgren, six
miles west of Lehigh, have been
used often and freely by Lehigh peo-
pie. BY the 25-mile extension of
the interurban from Fort Dodge to
Lehigh and to Webster City it will
give this road big increase in the
passenger service. The company
will put on the same number of
trains through Lehigh as are oper-
ated on the Fort Dodge to Des
Moines line. AS near as can be as
certained at this time the trains
will be run out of Lehigh as fol-
lows:
First train leaves Lehigh at in
the morning for Webster City, Sec
ond train leaves at o'clock for Ft.
Dodge, and each odd hour during the
day they leave for Webster City, and
each even hour for Fort Dodge For
the present the last car will leave
Lehigh at Z o'clock in the evening.
The Fort Dodge, Des Moines &
Southern interurban operates only
the best and most modern trains,
and their service is unsurpassed. |
The new road from Lehigh to Fort
Dodge and from Lehigh to Webster |
City has been laid with heavy steel,
that portion of the old Crooked
Creek track that will be used has
been completely rebuilt. The gravel
ing between Lehigh and Fort Dodge
is practically all completed and in
no place has the company cheapened
the construction, but on the other
hand only the best materials and
equipment has been used. Lehigh
welcomes the Fort Dodge, Des
Moines & Southern interurban, and
this company merits the unstinted
patronage Of the people of this
place.
