 The above list contains only a small number of the general bills now on the house calendar. Those that do not pass the house tomorrow cannot pass at all, as every bill has to be read in each house on three separate days.
 With the exception sof a very few measures, only those originating in the senate will be considered by the house in the remaining three days, and house bills will be considered by the senate.
 It would be physical impossibility for either house to pass even half of the bills now on their calendars, and even were that number passed the clerical forces of the two houses would not be able to engross them in time for the legislature to adjourn next Saturday night. as is now planned.

They wear high-heeled suede slippers with broad tongues that cover the instep, and immense suede buckles if they are endeavoring to get away from the ubiquitous cothurnes. Undoubtedly we in America will come to the beige and gray shoes and stockings, for it is an extremely good-looking fashion.

$40 ACRES Sell
FOR $4,000
Peter Jepsen Section Of Land in Hayes
Township Sold at Auction for
1925 Per Acre
SEARS McHENRY, PURCHASER
Understood Mr.. McHenry Has Since
Disposed Of Land to Mr.. thinner
of Buck Grove

The sale of the Jepsen section of
land in Hayes township, which is also
known as the Clinton Payne section,
on Monday afternoon, was something
of an event in land sales. This was
perhaps the largest tract Of land which
has been sold at public auction in the
county. The sale was made under or
der of the court to carry out the pro-
visions of the will of Peter Jepsen,
a prominent farmer of this county who
departed this life several months ago.
The sale was conducted by Malone
Bros and A. E. Bryan as auctioneers.
On account of the almost impossible
condition of the roads the crowd at
the sale which took place seven miles
south and east of Vail. was not as large
as was desired. but while this was
true, those who attended the sale
were prompted to do so otherwise than
out of curiosity. The west one-half
of the section on which the improve
ments stand, was sold first and
brought $3.50 per acre The northeast
quarter was then sold and brought
slightly under 5000 per acre. The
southeast quarter was sold at 5000 per
acre. The several tracts were sold
with the understanding that after be-
ing sold the whole of the section could
be offered in bulk and if bid was Sc
cured which amounted to more than
the aggregate sales, the purchaser
could have the property. This was
done and the section was offered as a
whole and a bid was finally secured Of
1925 for the section enbloc, Sears Nc
Henry of Denison being the purchaser.
We understand that Mr.. McHenry has
since disposed of the property to Mr..
thinner of Buck Grove, who is now
the owner. This section Of land is an
ideal section and one of the best lay
ing sections in the county, 1t is in a
very desirable part of the county,
which fact adds to its value. We con-
slider the owner of this property for
tunate in having so fine tract of land.

came to Iowa settling in Butler coun-
ty. His brother engaged in the hotel
business, while Loren Cornwell turned
his attention to merchandising. Ten
years later, in 1868. they came to Den
ison and built a Touring mill on the
Boyer river about mile and half
southwest of town, which they oper-
ated for five years. On the expiration
of that period Mr.. Cornwell was elect
ed county treasurer and took up his
abode in Denison, occupying the office
through reelection for ten consecutive
years, his record being one Of which
he had every reason to be proud. He
his duties with promptness,
fidelity and capability, and his fellow

dition to banking he improved six or
seven hundred acres OF land which he
sold some time later. In this way he

Afternoon Session
The afternoon session opened at
1:15 o'clock. The high school Orches.
ira, under the direction of Professor
Gratke, rendered two beautiful selec-
lions which were much enjoyed.
Pres. Jacob Weiss then called upon
Rev. Robt. Karr. pastor of the Pres
byterian church of Denison, who gave
brief talk on the drive which is now
being made for the relief of the des-
titute people in the near east Rev.
karr appealed to the people living in
this land Of plenty to extend succor
to this suffering humanity. He brief
| ly told of the .hardships and torture
these people have undergone and how
the United States, the richest coun-
| try in the world today, was being call
ed upon to save the lives of hundreds
of thousands in this drive. He ex-
pressed the desire that Crawford coun
ty go over the top in this drive as it
has done in every war measure in the
past.
Rev. VIM. Frese, pastor Of the Luth-
eran church, addressed the meeting
in behalf of this drive also. He stat
ed that the United States was making
a drive for $3O,0OO,OOO for the suffer
ing people of Armenia, Syria and the
or wi
said that the people of this commun-
ity should subscribe literally for this
worthy cause for here we have felt
but little direct effect from the great
world war and have enjoyed prosper
ity as never before. He brought out
the fact that the farmers Of Crawford
county were getting the highest prices
in the history of the country for their
farm products and that it is right and
just that they extend a helping hand
to these destitute people.
Jacob Weiss then addressed the
meeting and told of the meeting held
at Marshalltown recently at which all

farmers should organize the same as
men in other industries and that
movement has been started to make

not the purpose Of this organization,
stated Mr.. Weiss. to set prices for
farm products but to cope with the
many problems confronting the farm
ers today.
One of the features of the afternoon
program was the address OF G. w.
