Leads the Biz Priced Land dlSales,

When We speak of Is years it 1seems
some time, but when we ssy a quarter
of . century it is long time. An
thony Marshall tells US that is the
length Of time he and Mrs. Marshall
have lived on the farm east of town,
not having moved or taken up their
residence elsewhere in that length of
time. Mr.. Marshall started the raise
in Howard County land when he sold
bis 200 acres at $500 per acrelto Arthur
J. Thomson of Cresco. IL. It changed
hands in . few days at an increase in
price per acre to w. J. Webster Of
Crosco.
Tony has always been q lover of good
stock, and always kept the best in
Shorthor4 cattle and Poland Chins
hogs. Progressive breeders do not
have to resort to side walk oratory3
Animals in the pasture and::their breed
ing and their ready sale speak for
themselves. A great number Of our
Howard county progressive farmers
have purchased herd headers from Mr..
Marshall to improve their stock. With
out doubt Mr.. Marshall has one of
the best herds Of milking Short Horns
in Northern Iowa.

We go by numbers and have to wait

I saw Mr.. Nearpass again the other

His car passed within foot of where I

Frsa Letters Write. BY Helen
Truitt Kessel fronsParis.
NAV 9th, 1919.

Ny Dear Papa:
Iwant to write you about my won
derful week and trip while is is still
fresh in my memory. Grace and I
started out last Friday. We left for
Chateau Thierry at 1870 and reached
there in about two hours. We went
dlfbctiy to the Y. NJ. C. A. where we
found We. could get lodging for the
night % we'll - meals. There were
good many boys there on leave and
they dapt On The floor and in tsnts out
in small park. In the afternoon
party went out to Belleau Woods in .
French auto bus. 1t was an hours
drive. We passed many villages oil
shot to pieces. The country for miles
around was dug up by shell holes.
There is . German prison camp out
ut Belleau Woods and they had all
kinds of souvenirs to sell. l bought
small knife. The woods were about .
half-mile back Of the camp on q steep
and very rocky hill. We climbed up ss
we'll a. we could through the mass of
broken trees and bushes. We saw
bodies Of Germans half buried; the
bones sticking out of the ground. Ev-
erywhere were bits of clothing, coats,
underwear. hsndkerchiefs, Musette
bags, cartridge belts, etc. There were
all kinds Of exploded missiles around
but left such things strictly alone.
There was sign up in the ''Y" for
bidding people to touch anything in the
Woods az the Germans had left 80
many hidden explosives around. There
10 hardly day that there isn't an &C.
cident in the woods due to such. 1t is
q great temptation to pick up things
and it was all could do to hold back.
I traced telephone wire on the ground
for distance but could not find the
end of it. :.
Near the woods some of our men
were digging . graveyard; long trench
es to hold twenty-six bodies each.
There are two or three small ceme-
teries nearby in which our fallen he
roes are buried, and oil those bodies are
going to be put in one big burying
paco. Sc
We were hurEied eback ~ Al stesRt ~,
,4sses I had SEEN enough. One Gould
spsnd . day out there. After supper
10 climbed up to the big Chateau on .
high bill where We had . fine view of
the town and surrounding country.
There isn't much left of that town, not
. building that hasn't been hit BY
shells. The Msrne river divides the
town. That is one peculiar thing I
have noticed about all small towns;
there is either Q river or canal dividing
the town. All the big bridges were
blown up by the Germans.

A Bad Auto Accident.

D A bad automobile accident occurred
west Of ::Calmsr Sunday afternoon at
about ! 80 o'clock in which eight young
men narrowly escaped death.
Ralph Wesselman of Cslmar was
driving towards Decorsh and Otto
Ramberg, also of Cslmsr, was follow
ing closely in his Nash car. Ramberg
made IN attempt to pass Wesselman
and the latter noticing this. stepped on
the ac:elerstor to increase the speed Of
his car. al 8" "s5'Hv Z" -'~;-
At this time Everett McMsnus. &C.
companied by vivfsn o Figgs.tin the
front seat, Nantord Sand, Philip Wer-
ner and Russell Gilbert, in the rear
ssat. we're coming this way. The dust
was very heavy and none of the occu.
pants saw the Ramberg car,
Rsmberg, who was on the left side
of the road, was driving at high rate
of speed. and in less time than it takes
to tell it, he crashed into the McMsnus
car, reducing both to q heap of junk.
The impact was so forcible that both
cars were locked together tightly, and
in this condition they were pulled into
Cslmar where they were pried loose
with crowbars.
In the car with Ramberg wers Joe
Gender in the frcnt seat and Frank
Valenta in the back seat. Ramberg
and Gender were found under the car,
the car being 50 badly smashed they
fell through the floor. Valenta was
thrown out and sustained three broken
ribs. Ramberg's knee was badly hurt
and his face and eye badly cut. while
Gender escaped with . terribly lscer-
sted face. All three are doing nicely
and no serious results ore anticipated.
The Ossian boys Jared much worse,
however. Everett McManus' head,
face: neck, hands and legs were badly
cut up. He was driving the car and
when taken from the wreckage had
. desth.grip on the steering wheel
which broke loose from its moorings.
He WAS hurt internally, suffering pains
in the chest, but ss far % known he
sustained no broken bones. He was
riyeted between the seat and the en-
gine which was driven into the car,
with his chest on the stesring post and
hi head lying where the Windshield
Has before the wreck occurred. Dr..
Juen reports him getting along nicely.
Unless complications set in he will re-
cover. .-Ossian Bee.

Bank Bandits Captured.

Readers of the Plain Dealer will
recall an account. q few weeks since,
of the murder of Herman Uecker, q
bank cashier at Tolleston, Indiana, and
the husband of Louise Kline. formerly
of Cresco. Chss. B. Peck, of Ham
mond, Indiana, sends US q newspaper
clipping from the Lake County Times
stating that the murder will be avenged
through the arrest Of the confessed
bandits. two of whom were brothers
and taxi drivers of Gary. Seven men
are under arrest, five of them con-
cerned in the actual ''hold-up" and two
accessory before and after the fact.
The "hold-up" was fruitless, but the
utter heartlessness of the robbers was
shown by the development in the con-
fessions that the day of the funeral Of
Cashier Uecker. one of the bandit taxi
drivers drove to the widows home in
the automobile used in the raid, and
took her and her family to the ceme.
