pecial to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Dee Moines, Oct S.-The prohibit
tionists have nominated a state ticket
by petition filed with the secretary Of
state and will have full state ticket
on the ballot at the fall election Tues
day. Nov. 5.
The nominees of the prohibition
party are as follows: For governor,
Madison l.. Christian, Clinton; Iieuten-
ant governor F.. J. Wilson, Clarence,
Cedar county; secretary Of state, Ellie
r. Mitchell. Oakland, Pottawattamie
county; auditor, Carl S. Lewis. Mar
shalltown; treasurer, ]. F. Arnold.
University Park Mahaska county;
superintendent of public instruction,
Eleanor Chafin Stockman. Mason City.
Like the socialists the prohibitionists
at the state election two years ago
failed to poll sufficient number OF
votes to entitle them to have a ticket
in the June primaries. However they
have taken advantage of the provis-
ions of theslaw making it possible to
place a ticket in the field thru petition
and have gotten their petition in Just
in the nick of time.
Votes for Soldiers.
The election commission appointed
by Governor Harding to look into the
matter of the soldiers voting has held
its first meeting. The governor is
sending out inquiries to all of the army
camps in this country to ascertain how
many Iowa voters are in camp. From
this report the commission will deter
mine whether or not to send a COM
mittee to the camp to take the vote or
to supply absent voters ballots and
make provision to take the vote in
that way. The commission determined
that it would be impractical to attempt
to take the vote Of the Iowa boys over
seas.
Present members of the supreme
court who are candidates for re-elec
tions are asking their friends not to
forget to vote on Nov. 3. Indifference
to the election this fall is what the
leader here fear most. With just four
weeks remaining to day until the
election. the candidates are beginning
to bestir themselves in a quiet way
asking their friends to get ut and vote.
The printed election ballots are now
being made up in the office Of the
secretary Of state to be forwarded to
county auditors within day or so.

Special to Times Republican.
Grinncll, oct. S.-A noted writer on
agricultural topics once ran In his
farm paper an editorial showing that
the prevailing prices paid for land are
governed largely by the kind OF people
that occupy the land in question. their
progress and intelligence making the
LOCALITY in which they live more or
less desirable as homes and therefore
more or less valuable in dollars and
cents. With equal reason he might
have argued that the possible money
returns from a given farm depends
more upon the farmers than up on the
farm so far as~Iowa farms are con-
cerned at least.
In a central Iowa county young
man bought a quarter section of very
rolling land about fifteen years ago
He paid ST. 900 for il, all the money he
had, and agreed to pay $1,000 more at
a later date. 1t was generally Consid-
cred by those acquainted with the CIR
cumstances that the young man had
paid or promised to pay altogether too
high a figure for IA quarter section OF
steep hills and deep hollOws with three
widely separated fields that were capa-
BILE of cultivation, some fifty or sixty
acres of combined extent.
Today the farm is paid tor and there
is money in the bank. The owner buys
and feeds cattle and this on his own
capital. Those old hillsides are, set
with the finest of bluegrass and the
once wild grasses in the low places
have given way toSthc better varieties
on which live stock thrivcs. The entire
place is fenced and Crcs-fenced with
woven wire. Last year about $1,000
worth of hogs were raised and sold
from the farm. OF course some grain

Waterloo.
Contracts whereby milk producers in
Waterloo and vicinity are to receive
an increase of from $3.50 to S3.l5 per
100 pounds were to be signed today at
a meeting of distributors and producers
in the office of C. r. Howard, secretary
of the local branch Of the Iowa Dairy
Marketing association. The new price
was determined upon following the
visit to Waterloo Of J. +. Deems. state
food administrator. After going over
the situation Mr.. Deems declared pro-
duccrs should receive more money in
order to prevent them from selling
their dairy cows and thus contribute to
milk shortage. 1t is probable that
signing Of the new contracts. which
are to hold good for three months, will
result in an increase In the retail price
of milk here. Milk now selling for y
cents per quart is expected to be ad-
vanced to IA cents. Mr. Howard pre-
dicted. however, that milk would be
cheaper in the spring, when prices of
feed are expected to decline.

Des Moines. Oct S.-Donald Corlett,
late Of the 16Sth infantry. Company
E. now at the Fort Dcs Moines gener-
al hospital, declared today tina we
should keep on fighting until the Ger
mans quit.
Our boys wont lay down their arms
for any German dictated peace he
said with emphasis.
III the Huns accept the allies terms
we'll quit if they don't we'll keep on
fighting until there are not enough Of
the devils left to ask for peace.
Maybe this German peace talk is
German propaganda. No matter what
is back Of it no one should listen to it
until the Germans agree to all our
terms. If folks here could have been
with our boys at Chateau Thierry and
Champagne and could have seen the
suffering of the American soldiers
there they would listen to no German
dictated peace. Our boys wont stop
fighting until the victory is decisive.
We've got 'em going now. They're
weakening. And while they're weak
aning is the time for us to be getting
in our best fighting instead Of squib-
bling over peace terms"
