RATHBUN CASE
,,t;mated That Governor Harding

Granted Pardon to Con-
victed Man.

DIES MONIES, Ia, March 5.-The
Ratbbln pardon case probably will
be thoroughly gone over at the joint
session of the general assembly
called for tomorrow. at the request
Of Governor w. L. Harding.
While Harding would make no
comment. it was intimated in circles
close to the executive that he would
make known his reason for pardon
ing Ernest Rathbun, Ida Grove social
criminal.
If the Rathbun case is to be dis
cussed Thursday. it will get its legis-
lative airing long before the inves-
tigation was anticipated. The ]u-
dietary committee of the house, which
was going to look into the case,
could not have reached it for several
days. according TO members.
The rush to get bills before the as
senbly, il is thought. will keep the
committee from the case at least un,
til next week.

Grown Up People Have No Difficulty
In Getting Wool for Their Work,
Notwithstanding children's
Big Drive.
BUM FORMULA SENT OUT
There Is Change Of Style in the
Top, and Some Changes in the
Best Form Prevailing
In the Leg.

There is difference between the
Junior Red Cross, composed of school
children, and the big Red Cross, COM
posed of adults, and one difference
is that there seems to be no diff
Guilty in getting all the yarn the
grown-ups need for stockings
Notwithstanding the shortage of
wool for mufflers to be knit by chill
dren, the knitting committee of the
Red Cross has an abundant supply
of wool for grown-ups to make stock
ings for refuge children.
Wool for stockings will be distrib-
uted Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock
at the wool shop in DR.. Fuller's
office. and knitters are asked to
apply there for it.
Instructions were sent to the Keo-
kuk chapter giving the formula for
stocking like the Red Cross de-
signed for the poor refugees.
These instructions prescribed a
change in the latest style of top,
which is to be ribbed for two inches
downward, this spring
There. followed conglomeration
of figures, gussets, purls. turns and
narrowing, of the kind that no man
can comprehend, and that make the
designing of an electrical motor seem
problem in simple subtraction
One woman in West Keokuk could
not wait for the formal opening of
the new knitting bee, but got some
yarn and the long formula for the
latest style in Red Cross stockings,
including the ribbed top and the new
form prevailing this spring in the
leg.
And after she had knitted the for
mula through, she found she had
tiny sock about right for German
made doll
Then there was chaos in the wool
shop of the Keokuk Red Cross. Fin
ally, a committee of expert knitters
was appointed to work out the for
mula for a real stocking and report
1t as soon as possible. When the
Keokuk design is completed, it will
be printed in The Gate City.

known there was cold wave.
1t was pleasant early this morn

The morning weather bureau fore
cast was for fair and warmer tonight

twittering this morning.
But the thermometer here actually
got down to L. above zero last night,
although it was up to 10 at o'clock

"Ihe bird of Paradise"

"The Bird of Paradise"
There can be no debate over the
assertion that The Bird of Paradise.
Oliver Moroscos spectacular produc-
tion of the play by Richard Walton
Tully, which comes to the Grand on
Friday night. has proved one OF the
wonders Of the theatrical world. The
play is now entering it's eighth sea-
son. The fact itself disposes of any
argument over giving to Mr.. Tullys
masterpiece it's due.
The original lines, as written when
Mr.. Tully returned from the Sand
wich islands eight years ago are just
as thrilling and just as compelling as
they were then, which is great deal
to say for any modern drama-for
styles change in plays as they do IN
hats and shoes, and often the play
that was an unqualified success in
one period, falls fiat when at attempt
is made to revive it, a few seasons
following.

Drives Out the Millions OF
Tiny Pain Demons That
Cause the Disease.

There are many ways Of treating
Rheumatism, but there is only one
right way.
If you are beginning to feel the first
Slight touches of rheumatism, there is
untold pain and suffering ahead of
you, if you follow hliEdly in the same
niisdirected footsteps Of unintelligent
treatment. For remember that thou
sands of victims Of this painful dis
case have spent countless hours, no
doubt, as well as their hard-earned
dollars in vain effort to find cure.
And your own experience will be
just as disappointing as theirs, il you
follow the old, worn-out and worth
less methods of treatment.
When you realize that you must get
rid of the cause of rheumatism, and
that its torturing pains will disappear
when their cause is removed, then you
will be on the right track, and there
is a splendid chance for you to rid
yourself of the disease.
The most common form of Rheu-
matism is caused by millions Of tiny
disease germs which infest the blood.

Its bigger than it was before. There
are more farm loans this year than ev-
er before. both new ones anu the trans
fer of Old ones with the transfer OF the
farms.
It is the prosperity, and not the fl
nancial striElyency, of the farmers
that makes them borrow more money,
he explained
'The primary cause is the rise IN
land values around here, especially IN
adjoining Missouri. Farms in Clark and
uther counties in northeast Missouri
are selling for $40 to $25 an acre more
than a year ago. and lot of them are
being bought at the advanced prices.
Many farmers are buying farms
without nearly enough capital to pay
for them cash down. They pay part OF
tire balance, and in a few years they
lave made enough off the farm to pay
cut and own it clear of incumbrance.
In the meantime, they carry loan
on the farm, and I am working nights
gust now because there are so many

The volume Of business in the re-

breaks all records. Last Saturday,
instruments were filed for
record, and 1873 were filed with the
recorder on Monday.
In Hancock county, not only has
this year surpassed all records in the
number of instruments filed. but also
in amount of money involved and
number of farms sold. The deed in
volving the largest transaction had

A large number of mortgages have
also beenNrecorded which show large
amounts involved, ranging from 5000
