Down with everything" is the motto
of the pepole who comprise the So
called left wing. Few Of them work.
because work is considered a disgrace
in the left wing camp. Laziness Is
virtue. immortality Is a pastime, kicN-

There is little danger of this class
making dangerous progress in the
United States, but any progress they
make is not healthful to good citizen

If none of US ate an egg for a month.

The Homestead might appropriately
be called the mud guard"

Has it occurred to the gentle read
or," asks tho Waterloo Courier. that
an excellent way to bust up this cof-
fee game would be to abstain in whole
or part from the use Of the brown
berry? Reports from Brazil as to pro-
duction, and the tendency to hoard in
this country, cast a suspicion on the
whole proposition. 1t looks like a game
TO hold UP the public. We have the
remedy-all we need to do is use it."

WOODSTOCK CASE
ATTRACTS ATTENTION
Woman Sues Town for
Damages in the sum of
$4,000

Clarion Clipper: When Myna Van
Scoyk filed suit for $4,000 damages
against the town of Woodstock for an
injured knee which she alleges was
hurt by falling into a hole in side
walk. she started something.
This week almost the entire town
of Woodstock was called to testify in
the trial before Judge L. NJ. Mccall.
The case started Monday and at press
time it was doubtful if it would be
finished this week.
Testimony for the plaintiff is to the
effect that in. October, 1919, she was
coming home from church and stepped
into hole six inches or so deep in the
cement sidewalk on the main street.
fell and broke the bones of her knee.
She alleges that she went to Rochester.
was operated on, and is still unable to
walk without the aid of a crutch and
Il cane.
The defense has witnesses who
swear that the plaintiff told neighbors
that she fell down the basement stairs
in her residence and thus injured her
knee. The town is wrought up over the
trial.

More Signs of Union Station.

Indications are again pointing to
what may prove TO be fact-that
Webster City will, in the near future
have a union railroad tatiOn, of which.
it is badly in need AS yet, the Only
authority for believing that plans of
this kind will mateIialize. is that W.
j. Zitterell, who some time ago pur-
chased the old Cement Pipe & Tile COM.
pany's plant on Des Moines street, has
been ordered by the Illinois Central
railroad company to move the build
ing.
The ground on which tie plant
stands belongs to the Illinois Ce,t al
and work has already been begun tear
ing the building down. Mr.. Zitterell
tried to rent the ground but found that
it was not for rent.
During the past week both Illinois
Central and Northwestern officials have
been in the city looking over the stu
alton. They have been doing some
surveying and also had number OF
plans with them.
This spot would make an ideal oca-
ton for union station as ii lies Just
between the Illinois Central and North
western tracks.

One of the new duties imposed upon
the county school superintendent by
the last legislature is the enforcement

schools of the county, as prescribed by
law.
1t is the intention of Prof. T.. f.
Snow, the superintendent. to enforce
the compulsory school law in every
neighbOrho0d. although it is to the
credit of Hamilton county that as Il
general thing the people are very en-
thusiastic in seeing that the children
receive an education, although there
are said to he a few communities
where the people are very careless
Teachers Must Report Absences.
In order to properly perform his
duties. the county superintendent has
deputiZed the teachers. requiring them
to file with the county superintendent
the names Of all pupils in the district
who have violated the law, together
with the names and addresses of the
parents. AS Il first step notices will be
sent to those parents, asking them TO
get their children into school.
The law also provides that the corln-

BELGIAN HORSE
SHOW BIGGEST YET
Show in Waterloo Biggest
Ever Held Outside
Brussels.

That the horse as Il draft animal for
use in the country and in the cities
will never perish from the earth. but
that its tribe will multiply, was the pre-
diction of several speakers at the ban
quet given by the Iowa Draft Horse
Breeders association to the exhibitors
of Belgian horses at the recent show in
Waterloo held in connection with the
Dairy Cattle Congress.
The great central west must take
the place of pitifully devastated Bel
GUM as the great producer of Belgian
horses, end these must largely be pro-
duced on the farms of,Iowa and other
midwestern states. Forty thousand
heavy draft animals are required in
New York state alone each year.
Mr.. Conner, who has registered all
Belgian animals for 33 years and has
attended all exhibitions of these hOrs-
es, at two worlds fairs. all the inter-
national shows in Chicago and many
state and district fairs. paid the Bel
gian show in Waterloo the following
compliment: ''The show held in Wa
terloo represents the largest collection
of high grade Belgian horses ever
assembled outside of Brussels. Never
before in all history was there such an
impressive showing of high grade
stations as appeared in the two year
old class-twenty-two of them. My
prediction is that this show will be of
immense profit, not only to the people
of Waterloo, but to all Iowa and the
