WHO DIED FIRST? FORTUNE
DEPENDS.

The question is, who died first, and
on the answer depends $4,000.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Brown were
killed in an auto accident at St. Jo-,
seph, Mo-, on August Is, 1918. They,
had been married only few days.
Mrs. Brown had a daughter by for
mer marriage. The daughter now
claims half interest in the estate
Fred Brown, administrator, holds to
the contention that she is only entitled
to one-third for the reason that Mrs.
Brown died before her husband. Mrs.
Browns daughter, zelda Graybill-
Sheridan, says that Brown died first.
The report Of the accident shows that
both Of them were instantaneously
killed. The money hangs in the bal
ance and the court must decide. Suit
was filed in Council Bluffs yester-
day by Mrs. Sheridan.-World- Herald.

TOO MUCH BACK TO THE SOIL.

TOO MUCH BACK TO THE SOIL
A California paper tells story
about beautiful young woman down
along the middle state seacoast some
where who has forsaken society and
is living the life of hermit, wearing
overalls and going barefoot, with her
yellow hair hanging down her back.
This does not stir up the tear ducts or
the secret recesses of our immortal
soul as much as maybe it would If we
did not stop to think that a woman
who goes around in overalls and bare
feet is not romantic. A woman in
overalls looks like sack Of meal
with a string tied around the middle
Of it, and if her hair is hanging down
her back as she treads the mighty
forest it is full of dead leaves, and
maybe other things; her Grecian nose
is peeled like an onion with sunburn
and her face is as freckled as poll
tician's past record, while her dear
little pink toes are hard and horny
and dirty. The dear and ever-lovable
woman who wears clothes and is not
a stranger to the bath-tub is good
enough.

PROCLAMATION.

Greater Iowa Week. Oct. 1926. 1919.
To the working men and working wo-
men Of Iowa, Greeting:
The period Of readjustment follow
ing the war is upon us. America, with
its wonderful riches and natural re-
sources and intelligent citizenship,
must inevitably assume responsible
ties far beyond any heretofore as
sumed. Iowa, the head Of the Nation
in food production, coupled with first
position among our commonwealth
in percentage of literates must stand
leading factor in the stabilizing Of
the affairs Of the civilized world.
1t is not sufficient for Iowa to pro-
duce one-tenth Of the food of the Ma
ton. It's manufacture must increase
in the things necessary for improved
and greater productions and its raw
materials must be fabricated in our
own native State into articles for the
use of mankind.
Every endeavor must therefore be
made on the part of wage earners
and employers to work along lines of
justice and liberation that will not
only assure. but that will set a stan
dard of efficiency in the doing of the
things necessary to the welfare Of all
people.
Iowa citizenship is too intelligent
and the resources Of the State too
great to permit contests of interest
to hamper and destroy all Of our mag
aificent opportunities for developing
the standards of our own people to
the highest apex and at the same time
do our full part in bringing relief and
example in the world REIMBURSEMENT.

Commissioners of Labor, State Of Iowa.

lions they have not gone to the ex-
treme of condemning the idea of a
lleague of nations itself, and, aside
from Senator Knox, who launched
| a brand new model of a league of
his own, they have not offered a
/ plan for the one they would tear
down. They have created the i'm
preston that if they dared they
would defeat any plan for a league
of nations that would include the
United States, but they have studl-
ously avoided committing them
selves to that policy. 1t Is plain that
they are not sure of American pub
i lie sentiment on that question;
that they fear that the demand In
this country for a league OF nations
may be so strong as to endanger
any political party that should re-
sist it. For the present, least. I'M
