We say "Yesp' without a
seconds hesitation. Mere as
sertion, you say? But in many,
many instances we can show
on wholesale list prices that
are higher than our February
prices.
The reason for such a re-
markable condition is that our
sale prices are based and re-
ductions made on the whole
sale prices of six months ago.
And they were thirty per cent
less than prices on the same
furniture today.
Just here let us hasten to
assure you on one point. Your
choice is not restricted. This
sale, which starts Monday,
February 2, is the largest
thing we have ever done. 1t

IOWA GOVERNOR HOME
DECLARES That Republicans Have
Chance to Garry Southern States

Governor w. L. Harding has re-
turned from attending a state con-
ference of republicans at Nashville,
Tenn, convinced that there is at
least one southern state which will
break away from the solid south at
the polls next November, the state
of Tennessee. He also satisfied
himself that Senator Harding will
win over his rival Governor Cox in
the home state of Ohio. And as to
the democrats possibly carrying
Illinois, there's nothing to it."
There were republicans from all
over the state of Tennessee in at
tendance at the conference at Nash
ville," said Governor Harding land
Tennessee has a good many republic
cans. They were enthusiastic over
the prospects of their state going re-
publican. They said the democratic
party down there was split wide
open. The democrats are particu-
larly strong in support of Senator
John X. Shields, who although
democrat is opposed to President
Wilson in his stand on the league of
nations. The Tennessee democrats
are against the San Francisco plat
form on the league of nations. They
don't like the way Wilson has man
aged things and they are sore on the
democratic party.
Tennessee has not always gone
democratic, either. On other cleo
ton issues the voters of that state
have shown their independence and
broken away from their old party.

MANNING BOY TO PRISON
Helped Rob Bank i'm Nebraska But
Was Caught Soon After
Rock of Ages, cleft for me

hOCh Oh Ages, Ciell lOr ule
LET me hide myself in Thee"
The voices of girls in the matron's
room church services at the Doug
las county Jail in Omaha sang out
the old, old hymn Sunday morning,
just at the time Mrs. II. c. Grau of
Manning, in an adjoining room was
trying to keep back the tears when
she met her boy, Julius Grau, who
the day before had confessed to
robbing the Waterloo, Neb., bank.
81 don't know, mother" was all
the boy could say.
The father then grasped his boys
hand, and told him to take his medi-
cine like man, and plead guilty
next morning, but he added, Julius
whatever you do, whatever happens,
remember you've got a home on the
old farm that you can came back
to-"
Newspaper men and officials pres
ent made no effort to keep back the
tears as the chorus of girls voices
sang LET the water and the blood
from thy wounded side which flow
ed" and the parents of the youth
stood with him, the father pressing
his hand, and the mother clasping
him to her breast. The trio stood
with heads bowed until the song was
ended, then the father turned to the
officers and the mother and son were
left alone.
Mr.. and Mrs. Grau came to Coun-
Gil Bluffs Sunday morning to see
their boy, who was caught Friday
with Oscar Yoos of Anita, Colo, less
than an hour after they had robbed
the Waterloo bank. The parents
went straight to the Jail. They were
little too early. Returning short
ly they waited at the big iron gate
for the turnkey to bring out their
boy. When Deputy Sheriff V. ID.
Quackenbush informed the boy that
his parents were waiting for him,
the young man hesitated a minute.
He had given a wrong name to hide
his identity. But he hesitated only
a second, then rushed to his mother.
Deputy Quackenbush took the
parents to his home for dinner later
and then placed the mother on the
train for the return trip to Man
ming, while the father stayed for the
appearance of the boys next morn
ing.
The mother had little to say about
her boy. "He was always good,
and always worked hard" she said,
He quit high school to enter the
navy, and when his term was out he
wanted to go back, but his brothers
persuaded him not to do so. He
then got a homestead in Wyoming
and went out there in an automobile
and met the Yoos boy. He worked
for the telephone company in Coun-
ell Bluffs for long time"

LITTLE BLACK RUST YET

The outstanding feature of more
than 100 reports on crop conditions
in northwest Iowa, northern Ne
braska and South Dakota, made by
special correspondents is that rust
has not generally appeared in small
grains and that the damage so far
done is nothing.
There are isolated reports of rust,
but none showing extensive dam
age. Most reports have it that
grains are now so far advanced that
extensive damage from rust is i'm
probable.
Corn and other crops have contin-
ued to make wonderful growth until
they are now up to the seasonal av-
erage. Winter wheat, barley and
early oats are being harvested in
southern sections OF the territory,
and are average or better than av-
erage yield.
A fine crop of early potatoes is be-
ing harvested, but the acreage is be-
low average. Stock continues to do
well on pastures kept green by fire.

of Audubon county celebrated his
80th birthday anniversary at his
home in this city last Sunday. At
the dinner table with him were his
eight living children and his grand
children.
Mr.. Darland was born in Park
county, Indiana, July 10, 1910 but
came to Mahaska county, Iowa in
the fall of 1861, where he remained
until the fall of 1866 when he NOV
ed to Leseur county, Minnesota. He
was appointed postmaster of Blue
Grass postoffice during the winter
of 1866. He moved to Powe-
shiek county, Iowa, in 1866 and re-
manned there until 1882 when
cheaper lands induced him to move
to Audubon county. He followed
his occupation of farmer all his
: life until he moved to the city of Au-
dubon seven years ago.
He was married to Miss Eliza
Cunningham in Park county, Indi-
ana, January II, 1858. To this
union eleven children were born.

The main feature of the celebra-
ton Sunday was the splendid din
ner that was served and mostly pre-
pared by Mr. Darland and his broth
er-in.law, p. w. Cunningham, who
makes his home with him. The
home was neatly arranged and in the
center of the dining table was a
large birthday cake on which were
80 lighted candles.
This made a beautiful sight and
was much enjoyed by the 20 rela-
tives who we're present. This was
the first time in many years that all
of the children had the pleasure Of
meeting together with their father.

HEALTH TALK NO. l.

Fresh air and sunshine love these,
and see that your children loves
them. Nothing is a better health
preserver than these. Become a
fresh air fiend. Ventilate your
rooms day and night. Open the
windows and let the fresh air enter
freely. Colds are taken in rooms
that are too warm and where the air
is not pure. From SIS to 6S de-
grees is as warm as the house should
be in the day time. coler at night.
Walk mile in the open air twice a
day 1t will add years to your life.
If you don't believe it try it and
see.
Urge your children to practice
deep breathing on their way to and
from school. Tell them to seek the
sunshine except during the hottest
summer months. Don't forget you
have no better friends than fresh air
and sunshine and the germs just
can't endure them.

WILSON HUNG HIMSELF
Politicians Gave Their Leader Plenty
or Rope and Now Dominate

We are far enough away from the
San Francisco convention now to see
in a perspective light. 1t was i'm
possible at the finish of the proceed
ings to get an accurate estimate of
results. With the subsiding of the
dust kicked up in the making of the
platform and the nominating of can
didates we can see what has happen
ed.
The democratic party has been in
control in this country for eight
years. During that time Wilson has
been master of ceremonies. And he
is one of those masters who leaves
precious little time in the program
for anybody else to say or do any
thing.
The result of this eight years of
rule had produced uniform and
lasting impression on the minds of
the democrats of the country. With
out concerted action or formal or
ganization the democratic hosts of
the country gathered at Frisco and
began the grinding task of making a
platform and naming a candidate. 1t
was in this long gruelling contest
that these men found their oneness
of mind concerning Wilson.
The democrats of the country do
not detest Wilson. They think fair
ly we'll of him. They were agreed
that he should write the platform
write his own epitaph, in fact. They
were willing that he should write in
to the platform his own estimate of
his greatness. But when the plat
form was finished that was the end
of Wilson and his regime as master
of ceremonies. The average demo-
crat will tell you that Wilson is a
great man. But when asked il he
has had enough Wilson he frankly
admits that he is entirely satisfied
on this line.
Against the proposal to continue
the Wilson regime the democratic
delegates fought to finish and won.
Now Wilson and the platform are
finished. And what does a platform
amount to, anyway? Didn't the
Baltimore platform declare for one
term in the presidency and an eco
nomical administration to public
business? How much influence did
these declarations exercise upon the
representatives of the party when
they found themselves vested with
authority?
The two lines of thought which,
though concealed beneath the sur
face, had dominated the minds of
the democrats in the country have
now become clearly defined. The
first was to let Wilson finish his own
record. He was to be permitted to
go on with his program to the end
without interruption. The second
purpose in this situation was dual in
character. 1t was to end finally
and fully the Wilson regime. A big
majority of the Frisco delegates
were perfectly satisfied ito let Will
son gather all his hobbies and secure
their Endorsement in the platform IL
they could get away with the nomi-
nations Of the convention and the flu
ture of the democratic party. And
all these things came to pass at
Frisco. And in these results the
delegates, we are convinced. regis
tered correctly the wishes of their
constituents in the country.

PUG-UGLY POLITICIANS

Characteristic strong-arm methods
OF the democrats are in evidence ev-
en- at the party's convention, where
only friends are supposed to be met.
Permanent Chairman Robinson who
at other times wears as a sybol of
his dignity the toga of a United
States senator, wanted fifty extra
tickets to the convention. He made
his demands known and was re-
quested to sign a receipt for the
cardboards. This he refused to do,
slapped the ticket man in the face,
puched him in the chest. and made
of with the tickets. Attorney Gen.
eral Palmer entered the room while
the melee was in progress and
promptly discharged the guardian of
the tickets for permitting himself to
be assaulted by the senator.

and came out through the mouth, knock
ing out several teeth.
The first Known of the tragedy was
when Mrs. Bashaw, with blood streaming
down her face, rushed out of the side
door of the restaurant and ran to the
house of a neighbor, where she incoher-
emily told the story of the attack upon
her. Investigation of the small room adj
joining the lunch room resulted in the
finding of the body of Bashaw, death
probably having been instantaneous.
The couple came here from Irasburg
last fall and bought the little restaurant
on Portland street. They occupied the
little room off the lunchroom. The
couple quarreled and Mrs. Bashaw sued
her husband for divorce on the ground of
intolerable severity. The case was tried
at the June term of Lamoille county
court and Mrs. Bashaw secured the di-
yorce on the ground alleged.
Bashaw went away and Mrs. Bashaw
continued to run the restaurant. He
came back and worked about the restau-
rant. One report had it that they were
re married, but there is no confirmation
of that report.
Mr.. Bashaw was considered pleasant
and amiable man when not drinking, but
it is said that he had been addicted to
drinking nearly anything that he could
get his hands on that contained alcohol
When in drinking moods he is said te
have been ugly.
