VILLISCA AK MURDER
CASE UP AGAIN

The Montgomery county grand
Jury again has begun an investiga-
tion into the yillisca AK murder
case.
This much was surmised from the
character of the witnesses who were
summoned to the court house while
the grand jury has been in SEES
sion.
Mrs. Alice Willard, who figured so
largely in previous hearings, was at
the courthouse and with the follow
ing are said to have been before the
grand jury: John Montgomery
John Humphreys, j. b. Collier, MOT
ris Blackburn, Clarence Beckwltn,
Earl Meats, Lester Focht, Carl Ted
gren and Dick Lemken. The lat
ter was brought back from Wyom-
ing, where he was visiting, on q
summons.
Whether any new evidence has
been found or whether 1t is merely
a threshing over of the old stuff, is
not known, but some of the court
house visitors who are said to have
been before the grand jury are men
and women who figured prominently
in the other hearings and in the
trial of the Rev. Lynn j. Kelly.
BY some is is predicted that the
grand jury is taking up the com
plants and allegations of the Rev
Mr.. Kelly, who recently wrote let
tiers to Iowa asking for help in pros
ecuting his alleged defamers.
One member of the grand jur!
was sick and the work was not com
pleted but it is said will be resumed
at the October session of court.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN
MARCH FIRST COMES 'ROUN

What is going to happen in Iowa
the first of next March?
Iowa bankers are beginning TO
wcnder, according to the vice pres :
dent of one of Des Moines leading
banks, who, for obvious reasons does
not want to be quoted by name. he
foresees numerous difficulties grow
ing out of the present unprecedented
prices.
II think I am safe in saying" he
declared, that Iowa bankers gener-
allv and hencefortth will adopt a
policy of discouraging the purchase
by their patrons of Iowa land at
anything above $500 an acre.
If the present boom continues
there are going to be a number oil
heads bumped when settlement day
comes around next spring. First
payments made on Iowa land are go
iuc "a be lost by men who can't al
ford to lose them, but who will ind
themselves unable completely to nm
ance their deals at banks.
IDEALS in farms at fancy prices
are flooding into the banks these
DAYS. The bankers are beginning
| TO WOffN ABOUT INC thVNts N+
not certain that prevailing prices
represent actual imitation; neither
am I certain that even in these days
of high prices, Iowa land generally
| can produce sufficiently to make
! such investments wise.
1.-THE most disturbing fact in the
situation is that one can borrow JUS
| about as much money at the banf
these days on 5000 land, as he car
borrow on $3.50 land. On thu
higher priced ground, however, the
purchaser is going TO find that M
mrsl carry about Si53 OF inyestmen
unaided. There are many people
who will be financially unable TO DC
this, with the result that they VII
! lose their original investment.
Bankers are advising clients wh'
must depend upon banks to finance
their land ventures to buy cheape
land. The only man who can saLe
/ " afford to buy Iowa land at $35'
! today is the man who is able to pa.
J cash for it,"

MONTANA FEEDER CAT
II II L


Due to the large number of mixed
lots that must be moved to market,
it will be impractical to try and
move all stock that must move by
directing individual buyers to Mon
tana ranches, as the expense and
time it would take to grade up large
lots of one grade would be greater
than having this done on the central
market.
Must know the number of cars
that can be absorbed in each county
in order that an economical distri-
button of these cattle can be made
in the corn belt states, it is impera-
tive to have approximate number of
cars of cattle and sheep that can be
used in your county. In order to
facilitate matters an order blank is
being sent you today for you to list
the number of cars of sheep and
cattle that your farmers want. This
order in no way binds you to pur-
chase what you may desire.
Have your farmers fill out these
blanks, giving plainly their name
and address and forward them to
E. w. Sheets, 521 Exchange Bldg,
South St. Paul, Mimi, who is repre-
senting the department of agricul-
ture in the movement of this stock
to market.
Mr.. Sheets will send you and each
farmer semi-weekly complete mar
ket information of the movement OF
these cattle and sheep to the st.
Paul, Omaha, Kansas City and Chi
cago markets, so that they will be
informed of the markets having
large supplies for sale.
Each farmer filling out an order
blank will receive, iif@addition to the
material mentioned above, list of
all stockmen from the west who de-
sire to sell direct to farmers in the
corn belt states This list will con-
tain the information called for on
! the order blank.
Quick action is needed. 1t is
| the opinion of those in touch with
the western situation that the bulk
of the cattle and sheep will have to
move within the next six weeks
Have your farmers fill out and mail
these blanks at once. Keep them
posted on the market situation and
send the names of all feeders wheth-
er they have filled out the blanks or
not, to e. w. Sheets so that they
will receive market reports.
The orders filled out should des-
ignate the market where the farmer
usually buys his feeded cattle and
sheep. The order will be sent to
the market designated and informa-
ton sent to him from that point.
Any farmer wishing an order
blank should call at the county
agents office and secure it. If you
are thinking of buying cattle or
sheep here is your opportunity.

HOW EUROPE Will WORK

Every farmer, workman and busi-
ness man should watch how Europe
goes to work, for what develops
from the chaotic condition after the
war will have a serious effect on
conditions here.
The blockade has been lifted. We
can do business with Germany.
Tnere is much money in this coun-
try. and this money wants an out
let
Business is the only thing which
will keep the money moving. I'm
less money moves We can't have
prosperity.
Two important reasons have caus-
ed the lifting of the blockade. The
Allies want the Germans to have an
opportunity to work and thereby pay
for the damage they caused. Also
it is believed that busy world will
avoid Bolshevism, while hunger will
bring Bolshevism.
II Europe gets down to hard work
a thing not uncommon in Europe, we
can expect a more rapid recovery
from some of the effects of the war
than many people would dare hope
for. The European workers were
used to less comfort and harder
work than We Americans. During
the war they went through serious
hardships. II such people recover
their courage and determine to work
hard they will be able to produce
goods much cheaper than we can,
unless we can beat them TO raw ma
terials and with the efficiency OF
machinery. In the new republics
where Bolshevism has not got a
strong foothold, the people will be
satisfied with little to get start and
will work hard. If the work is
we'll managed the industries viii
soon grow.
However. there is one thing which
NAV cause trouble. That is the loss
of heart. Take the Germans, for
instance. They worked hard to
build up an empire. Their empire
crumbled. They went through four
wears of misery. Thinkers have cit
ed that il has been noticed that
among some people such conditions
cause loss of heart. The man who
loses heart finds it difficult to re-
gain enthusiasm for work, to get
back his ambition. To such a man
Bolshevism is the alternative. for 1t
promises him much.
Nevertheless work is the only
thing which will save Europe. With
out work Europe cannot be saved.
Mr.. Hoover told this to Europe ana
Europe ought to take his advice.

DEATH OF MRS. KEIGHTLY

Mrs. VIM. Keightly, one of the
pioneers of Audubon county, died
at her home in this city last Thurs
day afternoon. She had been fee
BILE for some months past, but her
condition was not thought serious
until about two weeks ago. She
was a splendid Christian woman
and a large circle of close personal
friends will be panied to hear of
her passing away.
Her maiden name was Maryan
Harris and she was the daughter of
Samuel and Amanda Harris. She
was born in Belmont county, Ohio
January 20, 1S43. She came with
her parents to Mahaska county, Ia,
in 1853, where she was united in
marriage to VIM. Keightly on April
10. 1860. To them were born five
children, as follows: George,
who died July 81, 1910. Mrs. Flora
Kirkpatrick, of Pleasantville, Ia;
Jas. Keightly of Audubon; Mrs.
Nellie Root of Audubon and Mrs.
Amanda Crees of Audubon, who,
with the aged father, survive her.
She is survived also by three broth
ers, Jas. Harris of Paola, Kansas
Milton Harris of Given, 5. d.; and
Wash Harris of West Bend, Iowa,
was present at the funeral services.
A cousin, Mrs. George Schultz was
also in attendance.
Mrs. Keightly had not been in ro-
butts health for many weeks but 1t
was on Saturday, July 18th that she
took to her bed with an illness that
resisted all medical aid and in spite
of all that kind and loving ones
could do she was taken.
She became a member of the
Chruch of Christ in Audubon ten
years ago and remained a member
of that church to the last
The funeral services were con
Quoted in the Christian church Sat

tor of the Methodist church.

WILSON AND DAYLIGHT LAW

The farmers of the west and south
will not think any more OF the good
Judgment or the democratic spirit OF
President Wilson because of his veto
of the agricultural appropriation
bill The bill was vetoed because It
contained a rider which would repeal
the so-called daylight saving law
Notwithstanding the measure was
supported by a large majority in
both houses of congress and was re-
ouested by the farmers throughout
the country and not seriously oppos-
ed by other workers, the president
after six months spent in Europe,
feels qualified to say that the repeal
OF the act would be "a very great in
convenience TO the country" II was
passed under the mistaken notion
that IL really was a conservative
measure and would save fuel and
night and would be a real boon to
working people In operation it was
found useless and in the case OF the
farmers il was much worse than use
less, inasmuch as, the farm hands
are now beginning to demand short
er hours during the busiest season
| must be permitted to cease work at
| lust the hours when work can be
most effectively done. In an effort
! TO pass the measure over the presi'
dents veto, 247 votes were obtained
for passage with 1876 opposed. Il
only s more congressman had voted
i'm the affirmative two-thirds would
have disagreed with the PRESIDENT
| Judgment. The farmers will have
to convince few more congressmeI
or persuade the president, who, not
withstandipg his autocratic manner
has often been known to change hi
mind.--Sac rity Sun.

DRAINING THE FARM

The steadily advancing prices OF
farm land will greatly stimulate
drainage. There are few land
owners who can afford to support
idle acres. Land that retains sur
plus water after heavy rains will not
pay interest on present values.
Tile drainage is not a thing 10
be done by guess. The old-fashioned
way of simply putting in a few
strings of tie to tap the wetteSt
spots, and putting these in without
a proper survey, will not do under
present conditions. The farmer
who owns a piece of land that needs
10 be drained should call in a thor
oughly competent man and have him
lay out complete drainage system
AS has been said many times, the
mistake of tile drainage, like the
mistakes OF the doctor are under
ground where they cannot be seen
With land and tile and labor at the
present prices, such mistakes are
very costly.
As a preliminary TO planning
drainage system, we Suggest tha'
Iowa land owners write to the en-
gineering experiment station, lows
Agricultural College, Ames, and Sc
cure their bullttin No 10, which
contains recommendation for farm
drainage. In this bulletin, Mr.
Schlick. drainage engineer. has pu
a lot of exceedingly valuable infor
nation and suggestions. And n
suggests number of "don'ts" 10
the land owner, which should b
needed.
For example: don try to q
the work of an engineer. Don
let the drainage contractor act a
engineer. also. Don't employ an
hut a capable engineer. Don't plal
the drainage piecemeal; work out
complete system, even IL II can no
all be put in at once. Keep care
full records of this system. Don
use INFESTED tile; and don't try I
save money by using poor tile

MARRIAGE sUPERsTITroNs

Superstitions regarding mar
riages are common in all parts of
the world.
One is that bride, on leaving
her home for the wedding trip must
step into the carriage with her right
foot first. She should do the same
when she enters the home prepared
for her after the bridal trip.
A pretty custom which is tinged
with superstition is that of the
bride, as she is about to leave her
home after the ceremony, tossing
her bouquet among her female
friends. The one who catches it, 1t
is said, will be the next bride.
A favorite wedding day in Scot
land is December 31st, so that the
young couple can leave their old life
with the old year and begin their
married life with the new one. -.
In Italy no sharp-pointed wedding
gifts are permitted.
