Do Your Own Thinking.

Judge lands stated the other day
that in some quarters it has been
perilous even to ask questions about
the league of nations. He meant that
to doubt what the president had told
us was akin to the crime Of disloyal-
ty. Never in the days of the eX-kais-
er's greatness was such insistence
placed on the dictates of one man.
How and Why We have stood for
such state of mind has passed the
understanding of men who can re-
member when this country was a re-
public and when the right OF dis
cussion without prejudice obtained
here. This mental habit, this fear on
the part Of some and adulation~and
catering on the part of others, may
be considered a relic of the war when
we were compelled to make it akin
TO a crime for anyone to say any
thing that interfeTed with the con-
duct of the war. But the moral in
Limitations that we permitted then
ought to be forgotten now. We can
not suppress the basic ideas of free
speech in this country without en-
dangering all the free institutions
that we have priced so highly. We
must learn to think for ourselves
again and not permit others to do
our thinking for us, realizing always
that an election to even a high office
does not make an infailible author
ity of any man.-Cedar Rapids Re-

FARMER TERRIBLY INJURED.
Wheels of Big Tractor Passed Over
His Body

Red Oak Ia.-Paul Wenstrand of
Essex, is at the Red Oak hospital
suffering terrible injuries as the re-
suit of being run over by gasoline
tractor. 1t is believed he will recover.
Wenstrand was taking the tractor
with gang plowI attached behind,
from his farm nine miles south of
Essex to the farm of his brother,
Ben, two miles farther south, and
as he was turning the corner the
pillow caught in the angle iron Tugs
on one of the big wheels of the trac-
tor, throwing the pillow over on top
of him and knocking him to the
ground under the tractor wheel.
Before he could get out of the
way the big wheel ran up his leg
cutting large gashes as it went and
then struck his head and passed over
his face. One Of the Tugs on the trac-
tor wheel, which extends out about
three inches beyond the rim of the
wheel, struck Wenstrand just below
the nose, cutting off the upper jaw
and MASKING it back into his mouth.
All of the bone structure of the
nose was ground to pieces and the
flesh cut in shreds, and the right
eye and the bone around it was
mashed into a pulp, but it is believed
the sight can be saved.
A large deep cash was cut in the
upper part of the right arm.
Wenstrand is "a years old and
married. He has two children and
is the SON of Alfred Wenstrand,
formerly representative from Page
county, who with his wife, is now
on his way home from California
where they have been spending the
winter. Mr.. and Mrs. Wenstrand
We're notified at Denver of their
sons accident. He is brother of
former County Attorney Oscar Wen
strand of Red Oak and former Rep
resentative Alfred Wenstrand of
Page county.

Hard to Get Farm Help.

Knoxville, lathe farmers of
Marion county are experiencing
quite little difficulty this season in
obtaining sufficient farm help of the
right kind.
Returning soldiers do not seem to
take hold of farm work in any great
numbers, owing to the good wages
and plenty of work in town. The
number of new buildings, including
three new garages in Knoxville, for
instance, is taking great deal Of
surplus labor here at high prices.
Wages on the farm are, however,
very high, running from $45 to s65
a month for single men and $50 to
SIS per month for married with in
cidences of higher pay for both
classes. in cases of farmers needing
good help and are willing to pay
for it. 1t has been pointed out to the
men that these wages are more than
they can make in town, month in
and month out, but so far not very
many have seen the light.

Centerville, IA universal joint
has been perfected by A. w. Judy,
of Centerville, which promises to re-
move all questions as to the practical
bility of the front wheel drive in
automobiles.
And more than this, it may be the
means of replacing elaborate betting
systems in big industrial plants, as
by means of it's power can be car
ried to any nook and corner of the
establishment, at whatever angle it
may be located with reference to the
initial power.
The device has been in operation
on truck made at the local plants
for the past few weeks now. While
the experimental stage was being
gone thru with little has been said
in public way, Mr.. Judy preferring
to make sure of every phase of his
tests. The trucks have been worked
on the paving, in mud, on steep
tinclines, at sharp angles and in every
case have performed admirably.
Industrial heads already are
watching the device. One st. Louis
man has been here to look at it. Mr..
Judy is making haste slowly how
ever. The patent is protected on 102
claims by the inventor. 1t is be-
| lieved it can not be successfully at
tackled by any other inventor of de-

Drops Dead in I. o. O. F. Hall.

Jacob W. Tope dropped dead just
after midnight yesterday morning in
the I. o. o. F. hall, whore he was at
tending the Odd Fellow anniversary
celebration. Mr.. Tope who was fifty
eight years old, had removed from
his farm to town six weeks ago in
order to conserve his health.
Mr.. TOPICS death came just after
he had participated in one lively
dance, and when he had started on
another, waltz quadrille, the tune
for which had been announced as
played at Jake TOPICS special re-
quest" In one of the movements Of
the dance he suddenly fell away
from his partner and dropped to the
floor. DR.. Mercer, who was quickly
brought to the lodge room, said his
death was instantaneous.-West

This Old Boy is Good and Sore.

McGregor Times: Tuesday when a
serious accident to my wife was ne
cessitated immediate attention from
the doctors, they were Obliged to "a
bandon their cars at this point OF
the country road, and walk the rest
of the way.
In the evening relatives arrived,
called by the accident, and were
obliged to walk from the passenger
station, as they would not send a
car out Of the garage over this road.
A nice state of affairs at critical
time.
Why is it that the Board of Super
visors ingnore repeated requests TO
come over to North McGregor at
time when rain has made a wreck OF
this county road and look after what
is their business to attend to-see
that the roads are properly drained
and graded, and crushed rock put
on to make these places passable.
It may be more convenient for the
supervisors to come over to North
McGregor-smile, shake hands and
-palaver for votes around election
time-but their road neglect will be
remembered.

BRYAN DENIES HE
WRECKED PARTY
Declares Henry Watterson
Never Forgave Democrats
for Not Following Him.

LINCOLN, Neb., Sept, s.-W, j.
Bryan makes a sharp rejoinder TO the
criticism of him as . party leader
made by Henry Watterson in the remi-
niscences he has been printing in a
weekly periodical.
Mr.. Watterson said that Mr.. Bryan
had converted the party Of Jefferson,
Jackson, and Tilden into a Populist
organization, the final result being
shipWreck, with the eXtinguishment OF
all but the party label. He also re-
ferred to Mr.. Bryan as a young man Of
boundless self-assertion, who rode
furiously and ruled despotically when
he got into the saddle.
"A party leader more shortsighted
could hardly be imagined" said Mr..
Watterson. None Of his judgments
came true, and as a consequence only a
Republican quarrel gave the Demo-
Gratis power again"
Mr.. Bryan retorted that Mr.. Wat
terson's assertion that the Democratic
party was converted into a Populist
party illustrates the loss Of vision one
suffers when ne looks at a question
through himself"
Mr.. Bryan points out that Mr.. Wat
tersOn left the party and tried TO or
ganize a separate one, and after "a
Iudicrous failure" returned, but has
never forgiven the party for declining
to follow him.
WHAT Mr.. Watterson calls ship
wreck" says Mr.. Bryan, was really
the rescue OF the party from the forces
that threatened to annihilate it."

her to shine his shoes during the first

tober OF 1904, she fatty refused.

objected.
During the fifteen years that fol-
lowed other evidences Of un-American
attributes were discovered by Mrs.
Henrichs, according to the bill for di-
vorce filed in the superior court.

He tried to cut her throat with a
razor.
He put soap chips in the soup she
was making.
He threw Il milk bottle through the,
transom when she locked him out on
the advice of the police, whom she
called, following a quarrel
With stove poker he broke all the
glassware in the house.
He threw the cooked food out of
the window and chased her around the
yard.
All in all, Mrs. Henrichs found life
very spicy with her lively husband.
But now she is tired OF his escapades.

Old D0bbin May Soon

sadly enters the field heretofore held

For old Dobbin is going to join the
hosts Of those lighting to lower the
high cost of living. Fresh horsemeat,
regularly marked and inspected by
the United States Department OF Agri-
culture, will soon take its place on the
shelf alongside the stuffed chickens,
sausage and sirlOin steak.
The Department Of Agriculture has
been authorized by Congress to in
spect horsemeat and horsemeat
lately with an appropriation OF $780,
600 to carry on the work during the
fiscal year ending June so, 1920.
Lazy Horses to Become FOOd.
The bill. which practically means
putting horsemeat on the market as
food product, will open up channels
Tor some or the inferior, worthless
loafng, lazy horses who don't pay
for their keep. and who have been
camoufiaging their natural inaptitude
for work behind the plea that there
was no work to be done.
But a task has been found for
them, and there is expected to begin
within the near future a nationwide
roundup OF deficient horses.
And in addition TO the scores OF
worthless animals throughout the
United States slaughtered, 1t will open
a market especially for the small
horses-many of them wild-on the
Western ranges.
These animals now are enjoying the
freedom and joy of a wild life un-
hampered by the saddle or trace, and
they are taking away from the deserv.
ing cattle much Of the limited supply
Of range feed which is needed for the
more worthy cattle and sheep.
All establishments which deal in
horsemeat must be regularly inspected
by the Department OF Agriculture, and
horses which are infected with GER
tain diseases will, of course, be barred
from the market as a good product.

Of England, the meat of the horse is

ing another war in the American

German government by the Ameri-
cans. This may or may not have been
done as an additional method of max

But there are many which still re-
main to be disposed of. The mule
meat hasn't been suggested as a food
yet, but IL horsefiesh proves popular
thousands of mules may be slaugh-
tered, at which there will be rejoic-
