PETER JEPSEN
4 Resident Of Crawford County for 40
Years, Peter Jepsen Passes to
the Great Beyond.

Up Until Week Aoo-Cancer Of
|. Stomach Cause Of Death

Peter Frederick .Jepsen, a resident
of Crawford county for more than AZ
years. died at bis home in Denison
on Monday, May 9th, at the age of II
years, 4 months and 8 days. Mr. Jep
sen had been in poor health year
prior to his death and for the past few
weeks suffered intensely, although he
was able to be up and around a week
prior to his death. He was afflicted
with cancer of the stomach and death
came as a relief from his suffering
shortly after S o'clock on Monday at
ternOon.
The deceased was born in Schles
wig Holstein. Germany, Jan. 10, 1847
He was reared upon a farm there and
early became familiar with farming
to which he devoted a large part OF
his life. He received his education in
his native land and being an ambitious
Young man he decided at twenty years
of age to seek his fortune In America.
He came to the United States in 1867
and settled in Clinton county. Iowa,
but later spent one year on farm in
Dakota. In the fall Of 1875 he pur'
chased 100 acres of land In Goodrich
township, Crawford county, which he
improved to good advantage. making
it one of the valuable farms of that
township. AS years passed he show
ed remarkable ability in the acquisi
ton of land and he later owned ego
acres in Goodrich township, also 100
acres in Milford. township, 40 acres
in East Boyer township and $40 acres
in Hayes township. In addition to
his holdings here in Crawford county
he owned considerable land in other
sections. He probably owned more
Crawford county land than any other
man. In 1904 he retired from active
farm work and moved to Dentson
where he has since resided.
On the 10th of October, 1867, Mr.
Jepsen was united in marriage to Miss
Anna Laumbach, also a native OF
Schleswig. Holstein, Germany. The I'M
ion was blessed with nine children

Great Wheat Stocks
Isolated.

It's the shortage In ships that
is putting the Allies and the
United States on wheat rations.
Great stocks Of wheat are iso-
lated In India, and Australia. At
great sacrifice in ship space and
use the Allies are forced to Sc
cure some wheat from Argentina.
On January L. Australia had
stored 1OO,OOO,OOO bushels Of
wheat that was ready for ex-
port-but there were no ships.
Then came the new crop with
an exportable surplus Of 8O,0OO,-
600 bushels. Now Australia has
approximately lsO,OOO.OOO BUSH
els waiting for ships.
India, at the same time, had
100000 bushels Of wheat
stored for export. During April
$4,000 900 bushels more out Of
the new crop will be added to
the pile.
Argentina closed the last ship
ping season with 100000
bushels of wheat left In the
stock available for export. The
new crop will add 1876, 1000 to
the left over.
It is not q problem that the
wheat does not exist In the
world-it Is entirely a problem
of shipping, which has thrown on
America the obligation of divid-
ing our stock with the Allies.

Hills On Atrocities.

II there be any local people who
still are doubtful of the occurrence of
atrocities ascribed to the Germans
during the war they should not miss
the opportunity Of hearing DR.. Newell
Dwight Hills at the Augustana GYM
nasium next Thursday evening. The
previous night he is to speak at the
Coliseum In Davenport. DR.. Hills, be-
fore the war an admirer of German
institutions generally, hesitated to be-
lieve that cruelties described in the
newspaper reports really could have
been committed by people whom he
had learned to admire. But the stories
persisted, and he decided that there
was but one way to convince himself
whether they were true or otherwise,
and that was by going across and get
ting the evidence first hand That is
what DR.. Hills did. He no longer
questions the accuracy of anything
atrocious that newspaper dispatch
credits to the German soldier. His
narrative is thriller. DR.. Hills is
not travelling over the country trying
to excite the people with exaggera-
tons. He deals only on conditions as
he witnessed them with his own eyes,

Hating the Hun.

Orators sent out by the government
to promote the sale Of thrift stamps
have been importuned to refrain from
ejecting hate of the enemy into their
remarks. That might be wise pre-
caution, but whatever these orators
say or do not say isn't going to con-
troll the feelings Of the father whose
son has been sent to death at sea
without his having chance to de-
fend himself. Wilbur Clark, Jackson,
Mich, aged 10, was drowned on the
Tuscania. His father, W. A. Clark,
yesterday received confirmation Of his
death. Immediately the news came to
him he started for recruiting station
and offered his services to his country
on condition that he would be sent to
France. Clark was perceptibly hurt
when he was told that on account of
his Al years he could not be accepted.
The German manner Of warfare has
famed hatred in every nation with
which she has been at war. and it may
take many years to eradicate the en-
Uttered feelings that have been
aroused. 1t is going to be pretty hard
to forget some Of the outrages that
Germany has perpetrated against hu-
manity,

chairman Of the committee. whose
ambition to head the committee was
defeated by the introduction Of a let
ter that he wrote before the United
States went to war with Germany and
in which he expressed admiration for
the land of the kaiser. 1t will strike
the average person of fair mindedness
that cheap politics was employed to
defeat Adams. There is no more in
tense patriot in the state Of Iowa than
ne. He has been active in all patri-
otto movements in his state since his
country became involved with Ger
many. But he saw that the trick was
to be made effective in causing the
impression that he had been pro-Ger-
man in his sentiments In order to
make way for one who would be more
friendly to the presidential aspira-
tons of Colonel Roosevelt in 1920. In
fact, it is said that the election at st.
Louis was directed by the colonel
through his right hand man, George
w. Perkins, who acted for Roosevelt
while the latter was lying abed in a
New York hospital recovering from
the effects Of couple Of operations.
Adams has been regarded as a stand
patter. Hays is progressive. The
latter is to have a free hand in the
committee selections. so there is moth
ing to prevent Colonel Roosevelt hav-
ing complete control of the national
organization and seeing to it that he
does not suffer in 1920 the embarrass-
ment that was his in Chicago a few
years ago. Az the present writing it
looks as If Roosevelt would have no
opposition for the nomination for the
presidency two years hence.
