LurOs-HOvden Case Decided.

A case that has occupied the atten-
ton of the court and jury for eight
days was that of Austin Luros VS..
Ed X. Hovden. The case was brought
by Luros for salary, expense money
and commission on land sales in the
years 1915, 1916 and 1917. He sued
for a sum around $4,000. About 81
witnesses were examined and it was
a hard fought case. .
The lawyers made their arguments
on Monday and Tuesday morning,
Shortly before the noon hour Tues
day Judge Taylor delivered his
charge to the jury, and they went
out at ~ o'clock to deliberate. At
about $50 they returned the follow
ing verdict: ''...
I'VE, the jury find for plaintiff
against defendant and We assess his
damages at $644."- .....s ,
A jury is being drawn today in the
case of T. ]. Qualley VS.. The Citizens
Savings Bank.
District court will last, perhaps,
for about two more weeks.

Public Finances to be i'm Good Con-
dition When Biennial Period
" Closes. e.. s'

Des Moines.-Despite the thigh
cost of living and the higher cost Of
fighting, Iowa will be practically out
of debt on June so, 1919, according
to an interesting statement circu-
lated yesterday by Senator Ben
Edwards of Story county. -"
In fact, the funds which we appro-
priated so lavishly, for the undoing
of the Hun, and other commendable
enterprises, have so far exceeded the
demands of the undertakings which
prompted them that nice little nest
egg Of about $1,000, 900 is left in the
state treasury. ... ''l9
OF the $1.000,000 appropriated for
war purposes, more than half, or
something in excess of $3.50, goo, has
survived the boche, and since the
federal government assumed the
board bill and other upkeep expenses
of the Iowa national guard, an ap-
preparation of 10000 which was
made for the benefit of that organi-
cation is still unexpended to the ex-
tent of about 100000.
Out of $4,000 appropriated to
give the old soldiers an outing at
Vicksburg, something like $4,000
remains intact, as does also approxi-
mately $4,000 of the appropriation
for railroad valuation purposes. ,-.
AT the close of the last biennial
period" reads the report, June 80,
1917, if all appropriations which
were made by the Thirty-sixth gener-
al assembly had been drawn, this
state would have been something
over 81, 100000 in debt.
From a statement made by H. X.
Deaton, shief clerk of the revenue
department Of the auditors office,
estimating the receipts for the bal
ance of the biennial ending June 80,
1919, and charging against this all
expenditures that will be drawn UNI
der the acts of the Thirty-seventh
general assembly, his report shows
that at the end of the last fiscal year,

LIEUT.. KIDDER DIED IN HEROIC
ACT.
Former Decorah Boy Killed When
Seeking Safety for His Men.

The following article was taken
from the Minneapolis Tribune of
Friday and refers to Hugh p. Kidder.
a formed Decorah boy, who resided
on the West Side few years ago,
his mother now living in Waukon:
"A hero's death was that of Lieut..
Hugh P. Kidder, Fl years old, for
two years an employee in the freight
auditing department of the 500 line
in Minneapolis, who was killed Oct.
3, 1918, in active service with the
Marine corps in France,
Lieutenant Kidder was, as you
know very young, but he was one of
the best, clearest headed officers
have ever seen under fire." wrote his
commanding officer, Capt. j. NJ. Sell
lers of the United States Marine
corps in France, in answer to let
ter of inquiry from Scott ~ Farm
ham, 1929 Bryant avenue south.
Kidder enlisted as a private in May,
1917, and was commissioned second
lieutenant on the Rheims battlefield.
His death occurred after he had led
his platoon in an attack on Blanc
Mont, with remarkable skill and
bravery" his captain said.
He directed the capture of four
machine gun nests and many prison
ers,"> Captain Sellers added. After
gaining his objective, he went out
alone to a place where two of his
men lay wounded. He dressed their
wounds while he was exposed to
violent machine gun fire and brought
them in. He was killed while placing
his men in better position"
"He was about 20 feet from me
when he was struck by three pieces
of shrapnel, which killed him instant
ly, and later in the afternoon we
buried him right where he fell. His
men were absolutely devoted 10 him;
i have never seen a death affect men
as much as his did. / really am I'M
able to express my admiration and
respect for the boy; he was such a
clean minded, clean living soldier
Lieutenant Kidder's home was in
Waukon, Ia. He had, however, q
large circle of friends in Mime.

Study Your Government.

There are some business men who
take pride in Boosting that they are
mot politicians" Whether that is a
cause for pride depends upon what
is meant by politician" In a Re-
public where every man takes a di-
rect part in government, it is the
duty of every man to be a politician
to the extent of helping secure the
best candidates to represent the best
government principles and policies
1t is every mans duty to help. see
that the men selected to serve in
public Office render that service in
the most acceptable manner. If work
of this kind is being shirked, it is
something to be ashamed of, rather
than to boast Of. With each succeed
ing year government is exercising
more and more influence upon bust
ness, for good or i'll. More and more
therefore, business men should exer-
else an influence upon government.
Leaving it to the professional poll
tician is neither good citizenship nor,
good business.-Ex.

Making Hens Lay at Night.

Automobiles passing through
Alamo, Colorado at night have been
puzzled by the sight of what appear

for lowering the egg prices. Dixon
has built a series of chicken coops
modelled after Pullman coaches. In
the ceilings are lights controlled by
a time clock. The chickens think it
is daytime, scramble down from their
perches arranged like berths in a
sleeper, and eat. When the light
goes off they go back to roost. Ac-
cording TO Dixon he has increased
the laying everage Of his hens.

Salaries of Rulers.

Some folks are apt to think that
the President of the United States
receives an enormous salary-$75,-
600 a year with $4,000 annually
for travelling expenses and free house
rent. But when his salary is compar-
ed with salaries received by foreign
rulers and presidents, the amount is
small. King George of Britain gets
$3,105,000 a year, and recently he
was granted" $4,000 a year more,
because he said he could not main
tain family on his salary, and
Struck" for more. The German en-
peror gets no salary, only grant of
$3.50 900 year. But as king of Prus-
STA he gets s3,150,O0O a year and he
says it is clearly not enough. The
king of Italy is another monarch who
has recently limited at the meager
salary paid him; he receives $3,200,-
900 a year The car of Russia, when
there was a car, received a salary
of $S,179,000. The salaries of all the
other monarchs pale before this in
come. The king of Spain receives
only S1,S0G,O00 a year. The king of
the Belgians gets $4,000 a year;
the king of Denmark $345,O00;
Queen Wihelmina receives $525,000.
The only president of a republic
comparable at all with ours is the
president of France. He receives
$4,000 a year, from which he pays
his own travelling expenses and en-
tertainments. Hence the president OF
the United States receives the small
lest salary of any ruler of a nation in
the world.-Western Review.
