C. n. WRfNSHALL AND
T. v. EWBANK BUY
KlRKWOOD KING ESTATE
Valuable Estate of $50 Acres Purchas.
ed to be Highly Developed for Farm.
ing, Stock Raising and Residential
Purposes.

p. w. Ewbank and C. N. Wrenshall
have purchased the Kirkwood King
place consisting of $50 acres, in and
near Hendersonville, and contemplate
developments on an extensive scale.
Various people have viewed most
faVorably this property with many pos
siDilit-es for high development but no
one undertook the development until
Messrs. EWbank and Wrenshall decid-
ed to develop portion of it into de-
sirable residential section, and other
parts into high state of farm cuItiva-
ton and pastures.
The estate includes about 100 acres
of land under cultivation and among
the best in the county. About IS acres
are within the city limits and portion
OF this is capable of high development
as good residential section. The
other part is excellent for farm pur-.
poses when properly drained
While the purchasers have big things
in mind, they will proceed gradually
toward dividing portion of it into
building lots and other parts for farm
ing purposes. 1t is estimated that
there are in the neighborhood of 10000
cords of wood for which there is a
ready market. This will be taken off
in order to make the land tiIlable The
new owners propose to stocy the farm
and let the stock Craze in the fine pas
lures during the grazing season and
eed them in winter from feed produced
on the farm, it being their object to
cultivate crops that will promote the
stock raising end of the enterprise.
! The estate is penetrated by the
| Tracey Grove road and touches the Ed
/ neville road The extension of
Fourth avenue to the city limits across
Mud creek would reach point within
a short distance of public road and a
/ few years ago residents of the section
/ proposed to build connecting road If
the city authorities would extend the
street to the citY's limits, thereby
shortening considerably the road Dis
trect into HendersonviIle
The property is very valuable in its
present state and in view OF. the possi-
biiities Of high and varied develop
ment, the undertakings of the new
owners will be watched with interest.
! While permanent and detailed plans
have not been worked out, according to
tentative plans Mr.. WrenshalI will be
in active charge of the developn ents

THE PLACES TO PUT THEM,

| The government has just Cancelled a
lease made with hotel company for
the use of a hotel at Cape May as
a hospital The lease carried an an
! nual rental of $4,000 and ran during
the war and one year after It appears
that the deal had been Endorsed by Con-
gresham Bacharach of a Maryland
district
Somebody looked around and found
that the hotel might have been bought
outright for less than the one years
rent money under the lease. Indeed
the owners of the hotel had made affi-
davit to the tax equalizers that it was
worth less than 500, 900 and that they
would be glad to take less than that
for it 1t appears thai the hoter had
ben built as part of a lot selling
scheme and that it had ben run at
loss of SIS, 900 a year when it had been
run at all.
This was all common property.
Everybody seemed to know all about it
except the government agents who
made the lease at s99, coo a year ro- the
war and year after And finally
somebody managed to get the Informal
ton thru the heads Of he government.
Then the government cancelled the
lease thereby disturbing business as
usual to the extent that the hotel
owners failed to sell the property sew
eral times over for more than it is
worth and have the property left at the
end Of the lease.
There are two sides to this deal! One
is the absolute boneheaded careless
ness or worse of the agents of the gov
eminent who made the lease. Another
is the attitude Of mind Of the owners Of
the building and the congressman who
would deliberately attempt to steal
100000 a year from the people who are
anxiously ready to spend money like
water if necessary to the comfort and
l. u
minor firm in any city Of Iowa that
would keep such agents longer than
the time it would take to kick them
out of doors. There isn't community
in the United States that would endure
property owners who attempted and
carried out a deal like that to steal a
fortune from the money sympathy and
necessity contributes to suffering or
that would endure the congressman
who assisted them.
The men who engaged in that deal
should be sent to prison if there is any
law under which that might be con-
summated. The congressman should
be kicked out Of the house of repre-
senatatives. And the government offi-
Gals who made the deal either belong
in jail or in an institution for the
feeble minded.

the Red Cross and agreed that mo
further effort would be made to have
the son released from the army.
You say this man was pro-German.
That was the effect OF his attitude. He
was withholding support from his gov
eminent and this in effect was lend
ing aid and encouragement to the
enemies of America. But the man him
self was unconscious OF his pro-Ger-
manism. His position was not the
premediated purpose to aid Germany.
1t was ignorance of duty and RESPONSE
biIity to the country in which he is
now a citizen. The man came here
ignorant He has remained in this
condition. His sole aim was to work.
work. work and to save, save. He
thought he had escaped from country
which required its citizens to serve In
the army and pay heavy taxes and had
come to country where the govern :
ment did not reqhire such things OF
it's people. The man simply needed to
have a group of intelligent. generous
minded, patriotic Americans explain
the situation to him. Now the old man
is proud that his son is in the army.
There is a distinction between the
men who are pro-German because
they withhold support from the gov
eminent thru ignorance and those who
really want to help the kaiser. We
should intelligently discriminate.

Billy Bunny and His Friends

And then the big Elephant Manager
came outside and shook hands with
Billy Bunny and Uncle Lucky.
II think Well have fine show to-
night" he said. "for it is a year since
we've been to Rabbitville, and know
there are lots Of little boys and girls
who are just crazy to see the>clowns!"
And then the big elephant whispered in
Uncle Luclxy's ear, but what he said
I'm sure I don't know But, anyway,
the old gentleman rabbit smiled, so
guess all the tickets were sold and the
circus was making lots Of money.
Well, after while, everybody in
Rabbitville was there. And all the Lit
tie People of the Forest and the Pleas
ant Meadow came one two. three at a
time. Old Prof. Grow and his family
had box near the center ring, and
Squirrel Nutcracker and his family sat
next to them. And would you believe
it, the Miller's Boy was there, too, but
he didn't bring his gun. No, Sireemam.
II he had, he never would have gotten
in, let me tell you, for they might have
thought he was q German Spy.
But, oh, dear me! Just before the
circus commenced, the Elephant Man
ager came up to Billy Bunny and said:
II don't know what we'rs going to do.
Our best bareback rider and his beau
tiful white horse have gone to tha
war;"
And then what do you thing the little
rabbit did? Why, he telephoned to the
Old Brown Horse to come right over,
and as soon as he came MIR. Billy Bum
ny hoped on his back and rode around
the ring just like a regular circus per-

FORCE, FORCE TO THE UTMOST"

Force, force to the utmost" says
the president, and so saying, speaks
the determination Of the American ma
nation.
There he might have stopped. That
is the conclusion. All argument and
discussion have led to that point. It
is an unavoidable, necessary conclu-
sion. The discussion closes.
Force, force to the utmost" Let us
begin and end there until the war IS
over. God knows there has been
enough discussion, enough speeches,
enough evasion everywhere.
For two years we refused to consid-
err force. We sought hither and
thither for excuse and loophole where
by we might avoid the final factor Of
force. And now that we have been
belatedly brought to the bar where
force makes the abitrament let US take
the presidents phrase as a decimal
point wherefrom to read values and
use force, force to the utmost.
force, force to the utmost" Force
of men and guns and the machinery
Of battle. Force Of money, force Of
thrift and conservation. Force of
opinion. Force Of the union, force OF
the states, force Of communities, in
iividuai force, every force that shall
assist to crush the German power and
put the head of the snake under the
heel Of democracy.
The president is gifted in expression.
His phrase is to be accepted by the
people. 1t should be accepted by him
self as well in action as in words

THE SPRING RETURNS.

The spring returns; the brown grass
is blushing emerald; the bud Is swell
ing on the twig. Along the brighten
ing lawn the robins strut again In
their cheerful conceit. Thru the new.
balrny air the cardinal wings flash
of flame. Small boys with marbles
rule the street. The game of baseball
begins in the vacant spaces. On the
sunlit, rocky hills the crocus shows its
sweetly modest face above It's throat
of fur. In the woods the pallid blood
root shines above it's sanguine stem.
And soon will come the others in a
rout
The spring returns. Soon crowds
will throng the parks Young lovers
will wander IN pleasant hidden ways.
Old folks will take the air again, glad
to have survived another winter and
to be given the privilege of once more
seeing the earth renew its youth and
find the air soft with song.
The spring returns indeed, but this
spring there will be many young men
who will not wander in the familiar
pleasant ways of home. They will
experience a new spring in lovely,
