A SHELBY COUNTY CASE

In 1902 a citizen of Kirkman,
this county was convicted of assault
with intent to commit rape. His
victim was a girl under age and of
weak mind. The defendant was
sentenced to Is months in prison.
The case dragged along with the
defendant unpublished for couple of
years at which time the attorney for
the defendant applied to the govern
or for and got a'pardon and the de-
PENDANT never served a minute in
prison. Local feeling was not con-
genial toward him, however, and he
soon moved away to South Dakota.
The attorney for the defendant in
that case was H. w. Byers. at pres
ent corporation counsel for the city
of Des Moines, and the man selected
to conduct the Rathbun investigation
against Gov. Harding for granting
pardon in a similar case. The gov
ernor who granted the Shelby county
pardon was A. B. Cummins, present
senior United States senator for
Iowa.
The rumor about Kirkman always
has been that Mr.. Byers got $4,000
from the defendant for putting over
the pardon application. No one ev-
err suggested that Gov. Cummins got
any of the money.-Sheby County

SHOWS HOW ANYONE
WILL SIGN PETITION

An amusing illustration of the hui
man tendency to sign a petition
without carefully reading it was, the
other day, produced by humorous
ly-inclined undergraduate in a Kan
sas military school, who circulated a
petition which began by rehearsing
the hard work of rne students dur
ing the war, suggested that they de-
served a reward, and printed the
word holiday" in emphatically
large letters. Forty signers went
no further, but promptly signed the
petition. When it was later read in
public it was revealed that they had
really signed petition advising the
school authorities of their feeling
that no holiday would be a suffi-
GENTLY impressive reward for them,
and humbly petitioning, as some
thing much more impressive, that
they all be taken out behind the
gymnasium and "noisily decapitat-
ed" Hereafter the forty petition
ers will probably sign no documents
that they have not read, pondered
and digested.

BUTTON SHORTAGE

Button, button, who's got the
button?" That innocent game of
bygone days promises to come back
in vogue again and cover more terri
tory than the parlor. It will be a
nationwide hunt, for we are warned
of a button shortage, with the WELL
known "pn-account-of-the-war" ac-
cent A button shortage is not to
be taken with a siggle, customers.
Buttons play an important part in
ones existence. Buttonless shirts
and other buttonlsss male wearing
apparel cause half the marriage pro-
posals of the young voters. And
then again, neglect offbutton re-
pairing after mar,age helps pave
the way for divorces. without but
tons we'd feel like a canary going
through the melting season against
its wish. II it comes to pass we'll
have to resort to hobo fastening de-
vices, such as clothespins, safety
pins, nails. wire and matches. Get
all the spare buttons and they'll hold
you together later on.-Gene Ahern.

ROBIN AND SPRING STORY BUNK

In an iconoclastic age another
fond old belief is laid in the dust.
"The sight of robin does not
mean that spring mas come" de-
clares Frank Smith, professor in the
department of zoology at the Uni
versity of Illinois.
GAS matter of fact, here in GEN.
trail Illinois. we have robins with us
all winter, getting their food from
berries. The majority of our robins
winter in the southern part of the
state, flying north with the stimula-
ton of warm wind. Seeing a
flock of robins shows that there has
been migration, but it does not in
dictate an early or late spring be-
cause the robin has no way of telling
the present or future weather condi-
tons. The presence of migratory
birds from farther south, as the gulf
states, indicates weather conditions
there, but not here. If there is a
snow storm after tae robins arrival,
he win freeze and starve for he has
not wit enough to fly south again"
Professor Smith concluded. So our
theory is blasted--robins are not
harbingers of spring. Robins have
been known to winter right here in

GLAD 1T is OVER

The investigation" of Gov. Hard.
ing by the legislature, growing out OF
the Rathbun pardon matter is final
ly over and ended in vote of cen
sure for granting the pardon under
the circumstances. The whole pro-
ceeding has been disgrace to the
state and the airing given it by the
legislature investigation has only
made it more notorious and more
odorous. The governor says it was
a matter of politics pushed on by the
Register. Whether that is true or
not it has had much the appearance
of an effort to down the governor.
The house committee voted for i'm
parchment. This was rejected up
on the floor and after long, bitter
debate the end was a declaration that
the governor had acted unwisely. The
effort to arrive at the conclusion has
been protracted and expensive one
And the state has gained no cerdit at
home or abroad by the proceedings.

PAYING THE WAR DEBT

Some there are who grow pessim-
istic when they speculate upon pay
ing the war debt of the world. This
debt is now estimated at a hundred
and eighty billions, and some go so
far as to doubt whether it can ever
be paid. Many of these same per-
sons told us before the war that mod
ern military conflict was so costly
that nations could not indulge in it.
Some in their pessimism even proph-
esied that the enormous drain of the
war would consume all the available
capital of the world. And yet the
conflict lasted for four years and
could have gone on some time long
err. Their is somthing wrong with
spculations and prophecies some
where.
1t was surprising how completely
France recovered in resources and
man power from the Napoleonic cam
paigns. Within a generation or two
after Napoleanjs day France was
pretty well upon her feet again and
surely no nation could have made a
better showing than France did in
the world war.
1t is easy to exaggerate the waste
of wealth during a war. 1t is now
evident that, aside from the territory
actually devastated, there is little
loss to show for the conflict. In
this country there is almost nothing
and in England not much. even in
Germany there is less loss than many
suppose.
The war was carried on for the
most part from the worlds surplus
wealth. During the conflict, wealth
was turned from channels of extrav-
agance into war materials. Money
that had gone into yachts, banquets,
expensive food and costly wearing
apparel was directed into means of
paying for war munitions and mater
ial.
We have had to do without some
things, and it hasn't hurt us much
either It's been rather good discip-
line for some of us. We were fast
becoming extravagant people before
the war; and this called a halt to
much of our extravaganza. We shall
now have to save little to get that
war debt paid.-Minneapolis Jour
nal.

ONE MERCHANT TO
REINSTATE NICKEL

There is at least one firm in the
city that has reduced the cost of
smoking to-the users of the ten-cent
cigars and the smoking tobacco. He
says that 11-cent cigar, the nickel
buster" is going back to 10 cents ey-
en-, in his place. The package to-
bacco that has been encroaching on
the toes of a good jitney every time
you bought a package, is going back
to even money. 1t is good news to
the smoker. The result of this was
that it filled mans pocket with
pennies, which, like nickels, became.
good for nothing but to piece out on
buying something else. Thus a
nickel comes back to its own. and is
again real coin of the realm.

WHERE ARE THE
LIBERTY BONDS GOINGp

1
What is the ultimate destination
| of the vast number of Liberty bonds
of the first four issues that are be.
ing turned loose on the market by
the small holders? 1t is certain that
they are being sold and that they
are also being absorbed in like num-
Der. The newspapers are full of ad-
vertisements of companies and indi-
viduals who are willing to buy your
bond and pay the highest market
price" therefor. 1t matters not that
the highest market price is several
points less, even, than the current
market quotation, the bonds are be-
ing sold and gradually gravitating
from the hands of the mass of twenty
million people more or less who were
the original owners into the possess
sion of someone with apparently in
exhaustible means and the desire to
invest in Uncle Sans gilt-edged war
securities. There is no mystery
about the present deprecated price
of Liberty bonds. Like any other
SELLING" market 1t has reacted on
the price in like manner, If the
farmers of the entire country joined
IL Il BEcdl StlllH6 vi Cdl-
tie the price would "break." So it
is with bonds, in lesser degree; but
who then, is buying these millions
of bonds? The answer to this ques-
tion should make the average bond
holder stop and mediate upon the
acumen of "big business" He is
the fellow that is buying up the lit
tie fellows bonds at comfortable
discount which gives him an invest
ment of the greatest stability in the
world of finance, tax free and netting
him from four and one-half to five
percent. depending upon how badly
the public wanted to sell. And
where does he get the funds to in
vest in these myriad bonds of $50 to
$1,000 denominations? That is
easy. TOO He gets it from the same
people he buys the bonds of. Much
of the money Realized from the sale
of bonds gees for the purchase of the
very commodity which the buyer of
bonds manufactures. 1t goes for
automobiles. new clothes and the
like which brings huge war prices to
the manufacturer. He simply can
not lose in the trade. He buys your
bonds at a low price and makes a big
profit on what he gives you in re-
turn. In the course of time the sup
ply of available bonds offered for sale
will run out, the demand for them
will increase and they will come into
their own. He is wise who holds
onto his bonds and demands it's least
par value before he sells. He would
be still wiser to save his interests and
add to it with other savings for the
purchase of foolish peoples bonds at
below par value, or in a savings ac-
count at the bank. Nothing would
so effectually put damper on the
Capitalization of wealth as careful
saving policy among the millions of
people of the country and conser-
vative spending policy.-By Smell

NEW FLY CROP HERE

"Swat the Fly" bulletins are being
sent out by the state board of health.
They tell how to hit the fly at the
right angle to denote life. The
treatises are in season now. Those
who have not installed their screens
find that the flies are coming and
that the new crop is on. The flies
that made their way out into the
open are half-grown ones, marking
the advent of the new crop that
needs swatting and needs it badly

board, swat the fly" and do it

SHRUNKEN DOLLAR
DOES LOTS OF WORK

Local dealers report that despite
the high cost of materials, including
wearing apparel and foodstuffs, that
business is brisk and people appar-
emily have plenty of money. A local
hardware dealer stated yesterday
that his firm, owing to the high cost
of materials. did not anticipate a
heavy run of business this spring.
but contrary to expectation the firm
is rushed with orders and the men
have more work than they can well
attend to. Farmers, he said, are
getting record prices for everything
they produce and craftsmen as well
as common laborers, are drawing a
great deal more wages than ever.

When the Creator had made all the

that they might be truly appreciated,
He then made the beasts, reptiles and

scorpion, or the skunk, so He placed
all these together, covered it with
suspicion, wrapped 1t with jealousy,
marked it a yellow streak, and
called it a KNOCKER.
Then as a compensation for, this
fearful product, He took a sunbeam
and put it in the heart of child, the
love of mother, the brain of man,
wrapped these in civic pride, covered
it with brotherly love, gave it mask
of velvet and a grasp of steel, and

One of the biggest successes-in re- cent years in dramatic circles will be presented at the Elks theater starting tonight. At considerable expense and a great deal of trouble, the Del S. Lawrence company has secured Com mon Clay" produced in New York City by A H. Woods.
 Common Clay was written by a Harvard student in competition with scores of others for prize of $10.000. It is said to be one of the best plays ever written by an amateur playwright.
 It handles a great moral problem in such a way. that it is deeply inter esting from the first scene to the final curtain.
 It tells the story of a girl who in or der to improve her social state accepts position as housemaid in wealthy family. It is there that she meets her downfall at the hands of the rich mans son. In a vain attempt to save

VALUES OF DAIRY PRODUCTS
Leaders in Fight Against II. G. l.
Judged From Economy and Nour-
ishment Furnished.

Since the high cost of living is still
a problem and since New York is one
of the two foremost dairy states Of
the union, the workers in dairying and
home economics at the state college at
Ithaca, N. Y, are calling renewed at
tention to the relative cheapness and
high food values of dairy products.
To eat these products is to increase
the prosperity Of the state and to
decrease the drain on the pocket
book, because, the folks at Ithaca say,
there is a double advantage to the
New York housewife, from the view
point of economy and Of nourishment,
if she makes larger use Of them in
the family diet.
Not only do these foods contain the
growth-promoting substances needed
by children, but they are among the
cheapest foods of animal origin in re-
spect to protein and lime content.
Whole milk, skim-milk, cottage cheese
and American cheddar, or common
"store" cheese, are good, cheap foods
and the workers at Cornell advocate
their use.

COVERING FOR CREAM CANS
Great Part Of Value Is Lost II Product
10 Exposed to Sun While Be-
ING Hauled.

A great part Of the value Of keep
ing cream cool on the farm and at the
station or creamery is lost if the cream
is exposed to the direct rays of the sun
while being hauled from the farm to
the point Of sale. Far too few people
stop to realize the Importance of COW
ering their cream cans when bringing
them to town. Expensive jacketed
cans are not necessity to keep the
cream cool. In summer weather just
an ordinary piece of wet burlap thrown
over cans will keep the temperature
of the cream as much as 20 degrees
below what it would rise to if left un-
covered while being transported over
the average hauling distance.

DRYING UP COWS NEGLECTED.
Some Animals Inclined to Keep Up
Heavy Milk Flow Until calvln0
Time-Care Is Needed.

Some cows are inclined to keep up
the heavy milk flow until calving
time, and the dairyman is apt to neg
lect drying them up. Some cows dry
themselves while others must be dried
up by the mixer. Care must be taken
or the udder will be injured. The
best practice'is to cut off the grain
feed, giving no grain at all, and In
some cases giving less Of other feeds.
The COW should be MIXED only once
a day for a few days, and then the
period heightened until only once In
four or five days. This should be
kept up until the dow has entirely
ceased. III, N

It practicable to keep a bull until his

two associations would have saved

Registration alone cannot guaran-

ductiOn records. Without record
backing they may be very well bred,
but there is nothing to prove it.
