Dear Sir; | have decided "a
run as an independent candidate
from the 10th district to the state
Legislature. and ask that my name
be so written in on the b allot
| feel that my duty TO the women
of this district demands that
give them a chance 10 recover
from their temporary defeat in
their efforts to have voice in
legislation,
The unfair tactics which were
used by some of the friends Of my
opponents TO minimize the vote
for woman candidate prove that
the justice of their demand for
representation was generally re-
cognized, and the consequence
feared by the friends Of other
candidates.
wish TO say, however, that |
do not think any Of my opponents
were cognizant of the methods
employed by some of their con
stituents to increase their votes at
the expense of justice to the wo-
men Of our district.
Ny whole life has been am an
conscious preparation forjust such
a position. Raised as my father :
companion and con6dant in busi,
ness and politics, and being active
as teacher, Sunday school super.
intcndeut, journalist, club woman
wife and mother, my mental hori-
zon has been broadcned until
can view the questions involved
from almost any angle, including
the point of view of the men
themselves. Ny college education
and two years in law and two in
medicine have added to my op.
portunities and | am glad to place
the result of my training at the
disposal of womankind in their ef
forts for justice and proper pro
lection {both financially and pms
ically as well as morally, fol
themselves and children.
am not maiden lady as re.
ported in places, neither have

The thought that my election

weight in bringing about my de.
cision.

ing rock through window INTO
sickroom, as was done in Vashon
last Monday evening. The lady of
the house narrowly escaped being
hit by the missile and the invalid
was so disturbed that he seemed
near death during the night. Sc
we're punishment should be meted
out to the perpetrator of such an
outrage.
1t seems certain at this time
that British troops have vanquish-
ed the 'lunspeakable Turk and
that he has been driven out of

come outcasts among the nations

controversy about hours, food or

Twelve years ago Mr.. Johnson
bought his ffrst Aberdeen Angus cat
tie. He started off with two cows in
calf and today has herd that ranks
up well with many Of the best. While
yearly he has sold number from his
herd he now has more than forty head
Iof pure bred cattle. not to speak of
the numerous grades for the feed lot.

bred Enchantress Trojan Erica bulls

three years old and was bought of
Chas. Fischer. He is a McHenry bred
bull and last summer weighed more
than 1900
During short talk with Mr.. John
son | noticed he laid great stress upon
the Importance of >good quality cows
in the herd. He believe it is not treat
ing the herd bull fair to mate him to
inferior cows and then expect all his
offspring to be first class. In keeping
with that policy he has placed in his
herd superior class of females. They
have plenty of scale and are the kind
that will lido their bit at every bite"
l saw great individual in the john
son herd which was bred by Chas.
Escher. She is the ideal type to make
profit on the $500 per acre Iowa
farm land. Many of the fashionable
families are members of the Johnson
herd and Elmer is the right kind of
young farmer to give them good treat
ment.

Ida Grove Pioneer: Higher cash
rentals seem to be the rule in Ida
county for the ensuing year. Ten dol.
lars to twelve dollars an acre are of
common occurrence and higher figures
are often heard Of Thus far the high
est cash rental reported is the three
year lease taken by Alfred Peterson
on zoo acres of land adjoining Hol-
stein on the south and owned by Pat
Mcclure. The rate was SIT per acre.
Mr.. Peterson recently purchased 220
acres from Mr. Mcclure at the record
breaking price of $340 per acre. This
new farm and the rented land will be
farmed By him the coming year. 1t is
reported from Odebolt that one of the
McCorkindale farms has rented for
SIG. The S. E. CONQUEST farm in
Hayes township, Just north of Kiron,
is rented by l.. G. Mensinger now of
Corwin township, for SIS per acre,
cash rent.
While there are not as many Aber-
deem Angus herds in Crawford county
right now as there have been, this
county has taken kindly to them for
years. Messrs. w. A. McHenry, of
Denison, and ,Abner Graves, formerly
of Dow City, but now of Denver, have
been president of the American Aber-
deem Angus Breeders association. Mr..
Graves was one of the charter men,
bers when the association was organ
lied in 1888, and served as a director
the first year of its organization.
+ While visiting with Elmer Johnson
at his farm home near Kiron last week
he stated that the Aberdeen Angus cat
tie were very popular in Sac county,
and the following breeders were men,
toned who reside near Odebolt alone,
not to mention those who reside else
where: John Currie, H. Hanson & Son,
Harry H. Hanson, w. A. Helsell, j. R.
Konradi, Dan McCorkindale, J. X.

The first Aberdeen Angus animal to
| tread American soil was the COW
Duchess, in the year 1850, 1t was not
until 1873 that stock was imported for
the express purpose of improving the
range cattle. That year the first polls
appeared in an American show ring.
/ A few years later, as a result of the
world wide renown the bred acquired
by winning the two champion group
prizes in Paris in 1878, there was
great influx in this country.
Odebolt News: While B.A. Samuel
son was removing tire at the Anil
berg garage Tuesday afternoon, the
rim flew off and struck him just over
the eye, cutting bad cash just above
the eye and another on the forehead,
higher up. Six stitches were neces-
sary to close the wound. Had the rim
struck an inch lower, Mr.. Samuelson
would today have one less eye. A for
tunate escape.
This is the last call for John F.

A. r. MILLER

Adjoining the town of Kiron on the
southeast is located the stock farm of
A. +. Miller. Mr.. Miller has gained
an extensive acquaintance and is year.
ly adding to his fame as breeder, of
pure bred livestock. On his farm may
be found Aberdeen Angus cattle, Pol
and China swine and Percheron
horses, not to mention White Rock
chickens and White Holland turkeys.
At the head of his herd of Angus
cattle stands Thickset Bugle, Pride
Of Aberdeen. He was sired by Glen
foil Thickset I'd, three years grand
champian. His dam was Pride Nc
Henry 66th, daughter of Pride of
Deniscn 18th and she by Pride McHen-
ry 9th, a first prize and champion win
ner for two years.
Mr.. Miller told me he has no trou-
BILE to sell all of the young bulls he
can raise at good prices. l found him
not at home when l called, but looked
him up and found him at a neighbours.
l did not have an opportunity to look
over his herd, which was a great dis
appointment to me. With so good an
animal at the head, would no doubt,
have seen something choice. While
driving along the road did see nice
bunch of Poland China swine and
understand he has one of those big
type boars bred by Peter Mouw-
Mouw's Smooth Jumbo 4th by name.
The buildings on Mr.. Miller's farm
are the finest and there is an air Of
prosperity all over the big farm
am going to visit the farm again and
hope to find Mr.. Miller at home. so
may tell our readers moro about his
livestock, etc.
