Possibilities Of the loss of the en-

the next year or two are seen in
the Judgement of the European corn
bc2e2 Ia the New England states and
! New York, Prof. E. B. Bail of Ames,
state entomologist, declared upon his
return from conference OF state and
United States department entomo-
logists.
The entomologists scent a day
in the vicinity Of Albany, n. Y, now
the center Of an infested district Of
400 square miles and the following
day in Boston which is near an in
tested district i'm eastern Massa-
ehusetts of 1900 square miles
They found, Professor Ball said, that
great damage had been done. The
borers drill their way into the stock
and honeycomb the stalk and ear
'Unless immediate and stringent
steps are taken at once by the feder-
al government to eradicate the in
sect the middle west faces the same
sort of crop failure Of the same
magnitude that the southern states
had when the cotton boil weevil
swept over the gulf states" Prof.
Ball said.
"We are badly scared. If the borer
spreads to Illinois, Iowa and south
ern Minnesota we must be prepared
to meet losses which will run into
millions of dollars every season."
Congress will be asked to appro-
pirate 100000 for the first year
to fight the insect. An effective or
ganization and quarantine to pre-
vent it's spread was urged.

DRUNKS SCARCE
CLOSE HOSPITAL
The Need of the Inebriate Home at
Knoxville Passes With the
Spread of the Drought
Over the Country
ONLY TWELVE INMATES
IN THE HOME NOW
The Hospital May Be Converted
Into u Normal School, or
Second School for Feeble
Minded Children

After thirteen years of service to
Iowans who looked too long on
the cup when it was red and tC
drug addicts, the state hospital fol
inebriates at Knoxville will prob
ably be discontinued within the next
sixty days, according to members OF
the state board of control. 1t was
opened Jan. IS, 1906.
There are but twelve inmates
there now. They entered as users OF
drugs but are soon to be discharged
The number of persons treated al
the hospital has steadily diminished
since Iowa went dry on Jan. 1, 1915,
and with the advent of national pro-
hibition effects Of the permanent dry
spell are becoming more and more
noticible.
Possibilities of changing the in
stitution to state normal school o.
second school for feeble minded
children are again being discussed.
Though propositions were presented
to the legislature last winter nothing
was done.
If the hospital is permanently
abandoned the heating plant will
probably be shipped to the new
orphans home at Toledo and the
buildings and the $40 acres of land
will be sold. Action on the dispo-
sition of the hospital may be post
poned until the special legislature,
this winter, however.
j. H.. Strict of the board of con-
troll and Dr.. M. G. ,Mackin, superin-
tendent of the hospital, are in IA
vor of converting it into school
for the feeble minded to supple
ment the good work done by the
school at Glenwood.
There are now about 1,400 chill
dren at Glenwood and there are
400 on the waiting list. The build
ing at Knoxville will house 400 chill
dren or 325 adults, DR.. Mackin
says.

FARM AUCTION
ADVERTISING
Farmers Using Large Spaces in
Public Opinion to Advertise
Their Auction Sales and 1t
Pays Them Big.
ADS ARE READ BY
LARGE NUMBER PEOPLE
Paper Takes the News Right In to
the Homes Where the Adver-
tisement Can be Thorough
ly Read

Wlen farmer has concluded to
hold sale, the first thought coming
to his mind, after securing the auc-
tioneer and clerk, is the matter Of
advertising the same. Now. in the
old days when sale would attracE
no one outside the radius of a few
miles, the sale bill was all that was
necessary. Everybody knew "B:ll
Thompson" and every COW, horse
plow, ETC., on Bills place, and even
if they didn't want to buy anything
his neighbors would all go to the
sale for the purpose OF meeting his
fellow-neighbors and spend the time
"gassing."
Things are greatly changed now
and people in their autoes go as far
as twenty and thirty miles to a sale
If they think there is anything he-
ing offered that they might wait.
A sale bill alone does not answer the
full requirements now days.
II you want successful sale you
must advertise it thoroughly over a
wide erea. The newspaper is the best
medium for that purpose. A few
sale bills, of course, can be used to
advantage at the creameries, feed
yards, and other places. People will
not stop along the roads to read
sale bills, but if advertised in the
local paper, they will read them il
their homes, when they have time tn
digest them.
When business man is goir., to
hold sale, if he is prudent, he will
use large space in the papers, be-
cause that is the best way to reach
the people. You say that the expense
is to great. Not so, if you will con-
slider the large number of peo1.e
reached. A good rule to follow when
advertising a sale is first to decide
how much money the sale should
bring.
Just look over the auction sales
advertising in Public Opinion this
week, and you will find that our
contention-newspaper advertising
for auction sales-is a great thing.
If you are going to have sale, let
us figure with you on advertising.
Public Opinion. has the largest cir
culation of any paper in this section
and you will get results from your
advertising, and that's what adver-
tising is done for, to bring in the
ishekels.

The Interstate Power company,
which provides electric light and
power to chain Of towns and cities
from Gelena, ILL.,, to Oelwein, Iowa
maintaining headquarters at McGreg
or has q crew at work this fall
along the system reconstructing
about 135 miles of it's transmission
lines. When the work contracted IS
completed it is expected all the un-
favorable conditions will be elimi-
mated and splendid service given at
all points.
Lines will be ready in three or
four weeks to transmit $4,000 volts
from the Galena plant as far as Post
vile. Improvements are to be made
at the hydro-electric plant on the
Upper Iowa river at Decorah. which
was recently purchased by the COM
pany, and which is used to furnish
power on the Iowa end OF their sys-
tenn in conjunction with power from
the steam plant at Galena. An ex-
penditurc OF about $4,000 will be
made at the dams in excavation and
other improvements and new water
wheel regulators installed
New transformers are to be put in
at Postville and new switching sta
tion established at that point.
A private telephone system from
Platteville, Wis, to Waukon, Iowa,
is another improvement to be made.
This will give private telephone COM
munication along the entire system
to the main plant at Galena. Patrol
men have been on the whole line
whose sole duty it is to watch and
care for the transmission lines them
selves, each patrolman getting ove-
his territory once week.

NORWEGIANs BEAT THE IRISH.
Luther Trimmed CampiOn College
At Football Saturday % to g

In fast, hard fought game Luth-
er defeated Campion College, OF
Prairie du Chem, in the first foot
ball game of the season on the col
legec grounds, last Saturday by the
rather one-sided score OF 90 TO g..
Both teams were determined TO win
and the result was battle from
start to finish. But the Norwegian"
outclassed the Irish in this case,
and Luther romped off with the big
end of the score.
Luther played a game of plunging
and tackle runs. Campion relied on
fake end runs. AS they We're unable
to make any headway through
Luther's line. Luther's line held
wonderfully and tore holes in the
opposing line large enough to move
a house through. Luther's back field
made use Of these holes and tore
down the field for 10 or 15 yards
at the time When Campion had the
ball they had to rely on speed, and
tried many end runs, which We're
somewhat successful. But Trytten
and Norgard soon 'got wise" and be-
gan throwing their opponents for
losses. Neither team tried much pas
sing. In kicking Luther outclassed
Campion.
The Luther team showed the re-
suit of good coaching and un-
doubtedly much credit is due Coach
John jewell for his work.
The game opened with Luther de-
tending the south goal. Ravndal
kicked off to McCabe on Campion's s
two yard line, who ran the ball back
three yards. The full back made Is
yards on three line plunges, giving
Campion first downs. Collins made
two yards, but on the next down
Campion fumbled, and Luther fell
on the ball on Campion's 20 yard
down. Ravndal gained 6 yards
through tackle and A. Sorlein scored
three on line plunge. On another
plunge Rayndal scored the first
touchdown and kicked goal. Score
Luther Z, Campion 0.
The game was hard fought one
and the final score was Luther 2s,
Campion 6.

Just one hundred and twenty-five

THE GUMPS Are
COMING TO GRAND
Another Big Musical Show Booked
for the Grand Opera House in
DecOrah for Thursday

CRITICS GIVE THE

The Scenery is Adequate and the

One of the next big attractions
coming to the Grand is "The Gumps~

OF it. The following is from the Du-

wholesome, clever enough to enter
tain anybody and fit for the most
refned woman to see and hear. \
good many who came to the theatre
yesterday were men, but as the show
is musical comedy, not burlesuue. il
is expected that the women of Du-
luth will rally to the support of the
play this week.
The company, both principals and
chorus, is very good, and the music
is tuneful. Several of the song num-
bers, like "Bubbleland' and "Pipe
Dreams" made a big hit and ran
through the play with a Tilt and
swing that carries one on to the
hnal curtain. The dance numbers are
original in conception and are well
done.
There are several in the cast who
deserve special mention. Amons
these are the beautiful Miss Beverly
Byrd. who disports herself as Helen
Holmes, wears some rare gowns,
makes love without fear or favor,
and plays the violin as she dances.
Miss Jane Shearer as Betty. the
Peach, is all that the description i'm
plies, being petite and dainty, with
cleverness to spare. Bessie Clifton as
Min has wonderful time quarreIing
with her husband and seems to enjoy
it almost as much as her audience
did last night. George Evers as U.
0. Efficiency, in blackface, is a good
laugh-maker. Harry A. KeesIer
makes good salesman OF the Wal
lingford type. Earl X. Leslie is a
loVe-sick fellow who is pleasing in
mis- portrayal.
The scenery is adequate and the
costuming is excellent. While we can
not mention the choristers indiyidu-
ally, it must be said that they are
exceptionally pretty, youthful and
talented.
The show as whole is we'll worth
seeing and offers a good entertaiu-
ment for men, women and children.

Plant Trees.

There was time when premiums
were placed on timber land. A grove
OF trees on farm secured a certain
tax exemptions. This kind OF a law
may be found on the statutes OF most
OF the prairie states. Il ought to be
placed on the statutes of our own
state il it is not there now We
should begin now to plant trees and
care for them because of the need
which will confront our children a
quarter of century in the future
when timber supply will be a live
