SAVING MONEY
WITH ELECTRICITY


With the increased interest in
farming and farm living from theef-
ficiency standpoint, there is great
tendency on the part of the farmer
to ask whether proposed improve
ment will pay PROFESSIONALLY
most of the modern improvements
| offered to the farm home do pay in
increased comfort of living and
hence in increased ability to produce
profit bearing crops. And the keen
farmer of today realizes this. But
it is also interesting to note that
some of the modern improvements
do pay directly through the dollars
and cents savings they effect.
Take for instance the matter of
the electric vacuum sweeper. GER
tain hotel keeper in middle western
state found that the carpet in the
hotel reception room, which was
cleaned by hand sweeping and an
occasional beating, had to be remov-
ed every three years. He installed
Vacuum sweepers and found that
his next carpets lasted for seven
years instead of three. The reason
was that hand sweeping removed
merely the surface dirt and that the
dust and fine grit left in the web of
the carpet and beneath it and ground
into il by the people walking on 1t,
had been slowly cutting the carpet
to pieces. When vacuum sweeping
was installed, the shaking effect of
the sweeper brushes and the suction
Of the fan drew all of this dirt and
grit out, and left the carpet to
stand merely the much easier wear
of walking. The hotel keeper
found that this saving through max
ing his carpets last twice as long
more than paid for the vacuum clean
ing system.
And the same thing will appeal to
the farmers wife. She knows that
large amount Of sand and dirt is
brought into the house daily and
that any system which will help her
to keep her carpets free from it will
be we'll worth while. Fortunately
the electric sweeper is at her service
today through the development of
the small electric light and power
plants for farms She's enjoying to
the full the comfort and convenience
of electric light, and in electric
power she's finding a servant to do
the washing, ironing, separating
and churning and pumping as well
as the sweeping.

ANITA WOMAN GETS FORTUNE
Small Investment I'm Oklahoma Land
Brings Riches to Family

Mrs. Voorhees,, wife of Leon G..
Voorhees,, the Anita banker, has just
realized $4,000 from oil land which
she owns in Oklahoma. Her hus-
band returned home Sunday night
with a check for that amount in his
pocket, from Oklahoma City, where
he closed the deal for the lease of
the land to B. A. Simpson & Co., an
oil specializing firm. In addition
to the $4,000, Mrs. Voorhees, is to
have one-eighth of the oil which is
produced from her holdings. The
lease covers 40 acres near Ardmore.
The story of the Voorhees, profits
in oil lands reads much like a fairy
tale, though the checks-this is the
third, each a fortune written in five
figures-have been very real. The
original investment in Oklahoma
land by the late Senator John c.
Voorhees,, father of Leon, was $3.50.
With the discovery a few years later
of oil in that vicinity, and finally on
the Voorhees, land, the values began
to boom and the profits started roll
ing in. Their faith strengthened
father and son increased their in
vestment from time to time.
The first check was for $4,000:
the second was for $90,000-and
now again $4,000. That is almost
a quarter million, dear reader.

POLITICS WARMING UP
More New Candidates Have An
nounced on Republican Ticket

Politics in Audubon county is be-
ginning to warm up. During the
past week new candidates have an
nounced themselves for county Of
fee on the republican ticket. ]. c.
Abildtrup of Douglas township and
ID. l.. Freeman have this week an
nounced themselves as candidates
for the nomination of county treas
urer. There are four candidates
for the office of sheriff, one for coun-
ty attorney, one for representative
and one for member of the board of
supervisors in the person of Thomas
Thompson of Kimballton.
The only offices on the republican
ticket for which no candidates have
yet announced are clerk of the dis
trict court and recorder. We I'M
derstand there are those who con-
template announcing their candid
acies for these offices soon.
We have heard but very little
about the democratic candidates.
Yesterday it was reported that S. c.
Kerberg would announce his con-
didacy for county attorney on the
democratic ticket. 1t is not such an
easy matter to secure men for county
office as it was a few years ago. Yet
these offices are important and good
men should be secured. We under
stand that o. F. Ide of Brayton will
be the democratic candidate for rep
resentative.
1t is more than likely that all OF
the places on both tickets will be
filled before the time for filing nom
nation papers closes on May 9Th.

REMAINS BROUGHT TO
MANNING FOR BURIAL

Louis Finnerty, the oldest child
of Michael and Sarah Ellen Finner-
ty, was born near Templeton, in
Carroll county. Iowa, January 9th,
1887. His father died March 10th,
1898 when he was six years of age
and his mother was afterwards mar
ried to Sherman Best who has been
a dutiful father to the children.
Louis Finnerty grew TO manhood
in Carroll county, attending first the
district school and then the Manning
high school from which he gradual
ed in the class of 1905. After his
graduation he taught school in Au-
dubon county for a time. He was

having served several years in the
navy.
March 81, 1916 he was-married at
Colusa, Calf, to Miss Virginia II.
Banks and they have since lived
near Williams, Calf, where he has

STOPS JUNKING OF RAILROAD

Through a temporary restraining
order issued by the Iowa supreme
court, the junking of the Creston,
Winterset and Des Moines railroad
has been stopped. The further dis
mantling of the road cannot proceed,
the high court says, and the date for
the hearing on the matter of a per-
manent injunction has been fixed for
May 18th.
1t seems that this road has suf-
fered various vicissitudes since it
was built in 1911 and 1912. The or
iginal plan was to build the road thru
from Creston to Des Moines but con-
struction work stopped at Macksburg,
and the road has never been ex-
tended beyond that point. Trains
were operated between Creston and
Macksburg for some time but regu-
lar service has not been maintained
for the past two years.
The road went into the hands of a
receiver and was sold for $50, 900 to
Ralph II. Beaton, Sigmund Orstein,
Nathan Harris and Louis Greenburg,
of Chicago. When they began dis
mantling the property E. V. Masters,
o. P. Tillman and others, who mad
taken stock in the road took the
matter up with Attorney General
Hayner and the Injunction was OBJ
tanned. The attorney general Is of
the opinion that the road, il COM
pleted through to Des Moines, can be
made to pay. 1t goes through a
territory not now served by rail-
road and with the connections af-
forded at CrestOn and at Des MOines
would serve as a feeder to main lines
east and west. Considerable work
in junking the line has already been
done, the steel rails being shipped to
Japan.

THE OUTLAW STRIKE PLOT

The revelation that Bolshevik
money and |. w. w. management are
behind the outlaw railroad strike
comes as no surprise. The same sim
lister influences were active in the
steel and coal strikes The same
wide-f1ung plot to discredit and de-
stroy the trade union system, to erect
on it's ruins zone Big Union" and
to use the control of key industries
by small groups as lever to topple
over our whole economic, social and
political system, has been revealed in
some of its many ramiflcations be-
fore.
Such a plot can never succeed. The
American people would never stand
for it. But it can make as it has al
ready made, lot of trouble. If
the government has the convincing
evidence of the strikes motivation
which it is reported to have, it should
act with promptness and severity.
The arrests already made and or
dered, the presidents call of the first
cabinet meeting held in many a
month, the tardy sending of the labor
board nominations to the senate with
request for immediate confirmation
all point to an awakening to the real
situation in Washington and q, deter
mination to act.
The unfortunate delay in these
nominations gave the agitators an ex-
cuse for trouble-making they ought
not to have had. And the failure
of the president to select better
known men that would command
quick approval, threatens more delay
now. But the strike appears to be
crumbling because the befooled rail
workers who have gone out are be-
ginning to see matters in a truer
perspective.
The plotters who are using Boil
shevik money to cause these troubles
should be dealt with vigorously.

Wheat Trading Is
Dull ON Slump in
Foreign Interest
Decline in Exchange Rates
Believed to Have Checked
European De mand at
Present; Look to Russia

There was only quiet trade in the
wheat market on Thursday and prices
showed only moderate responses to the
news either way. Export operations
We're of much smaller volume, and it
seemed to be the prevailing impress
sion in the export trade that the weak
ness in foreign exchange was curtail-
ing business.
Some shippers took the stand that at
the present time America offers the
only source of supply to Europe, and
that consequently the action of the ex-
change market will have little influence
on sales of wheat, which is a neces-
sity. and that any curtailment in ex-
port business will be in other COM
modities
1t was intimated, however, that
Europe might get supplies from some
other source, and in this connection
Manchuria was suggested as a possible
market as only recently wheat was
offered to the Pacific Coast from that
country. There was also report from
Minneapolis that cable had been re-
celved from Liverpool stating that it
was believed there are liberal supplies
of wheat in South Russia, although
transportation and political conditions
made it difficult to predict when it will
be available.
Rust reports had more or less in
tluence, but the best authorities in the
trade were inclined to view the situa-
ton with less alarm and a prominent
crop expert estimates the winter wheat
crop at 550,0O0,0O0 and spring wheat
at 3oO,oOo,oO0
Cash prices at Minneapolis were un-
changed to five cents higher, but one
feature in the situation which was
given bearish significance was the fact
that country points were not sending in
buying orders with their rust damage
reports.
In the local cash market No. Q red
and No. 2 hard wheat were quoted at
s2.93, c. /. f. track, New York
