The Day in Davenport

St Luke's hospital where he was
taken Jan. 81 for medical care.
MIR. Herbert had made his home
with his niece, Mrs. William NJ.
Dougherty, near Eldridge, since
May Of last year. On Tuesday, Jan.
Il. he came to Davenport on a short
visit and while crossing Fourth and
Harrison streets suffered q heavy
fall. Internal injuries necessitated
his removal to the hospital. He was
given the best medical attention i'm
mediately but owing to his advance
ed years he was unable to rally.
Mrs. Doughterty was in almost con-
slant attendance at his bedside un-
til his death.
Republican Ticket Interest of Pri-
maries.-Today is primary lection
day in Davenport. Polls will be
open from I a. m. to s p. m. Indi-
cations point to light vot,.
Interest centers alone in the Re-
publican ticket, for it is the only
one in which a contest will be
staged Neither a Democratic nor
a Citizens ticket has been brought
out.
While the Socialists have full
ticket in nomination, there are no
contests, but enc candidate aspiring
for each Office. Socialists, it seems,
do not favor contests within their
own ranks. They seek to bring
their undivided strength against the
opposition.
The mayoralty contest promises
to divide the Republican party still
further as result Of today's bal
loting. There are three candidates,
but one of whom can be nominated.
Henry Jebens was the first in the
field. He was followed by Alder
man MacAdam and still later by
Alderman Ballow. Friends of all
three are claiming the victory in
advance.
Boss" Carl Lambach. the little
Napoleon of the Republican party,
is viewing the contest serenely
from his headquarters in the Put
nam building. May the best man
win," he answered adroitly Satur-
day when questioned IS to the prob
ably successful nominee.

Santa Fe Policies

A new policy Of the Atchison, To-
peka & Santa Fe Railway Company
will be to give special consideration
to ex-service men in the employment
OF new workers. according to On an
nouncement by w. d. Storey, presi-
dent
Further" Mr.. Storey says, ''if it
becomes necessary to reduce forces it
would seem desirable, other things be-
ing equal, to give the ex-service men
preference, and in this way give prac-
teal expression to our appreciation of
what these men have done for u.s."
Another Santa Fe policy. which. al
though not new, has been emphasized
since the return of the railroads from
government control, is to promote
from the ranks. The Santa Fe is able
to find in its own organization men
for nearly any position that may be
open, and for the exceptions there
must be controlling reason which
will have careful scrutiny.

bigger and more enjoyable social event
than ever before.

Grange Leaders in Politics

A number of western state masters
of oranges have been active in radi-
cal political activities.
Charges against William Bouck.
master Of the Washington State
Grange, were sustained by vote of the
national grange. The penalty voted
by the grange was an apology to be
made By Bouck and reprimand for
his alleged disloyalty to the national
grange and for permitting politics TO
be introduced at grange sessions.
The charges sustained were: Using
l. grange position for political pur-
az. Disloyalty to the national
"a a.,ge. Permitting political speakers
at state grange session. Permitting
duly disqualified member to act In
state grange.
.Ranck has leen known as leader OF
tn be eidical element in the grange. He
wa ithe unsuccessful candidate OF the
fermer-labor party for congress in the
second Washington district at this
years election and has been closely
connected with the Non-Partisan
League.

Western Sugar Production

Sugar production in the west is
among our Industries OF national i'm
portance. The raising of sugar beets
has been the great developer Of thous-
ands of acres of waste land.
Irrigation and sugar beets have paid
western farmers hundreds of millions
of dollars in past few years.
In the beginning the struggle of the
beet sugar industry seemed almost
hopeless, but it has won out and to-
day the sugar beet is one of our lead
ing agricultural crops.
The industry is on sound basis but
it must receive the protection and en-
couragemont of our government
The American beet sugar manufac-
turer pays high prices for labor and
beets in competition with cheap for
eign production. 1t is for this reason
that our beet sugar industry must re-
ceive state and national cooperation
as it begins to meet foreign competi-
ton under normal conditions

Radicals Get Surprise

The greatest feature of national i'm
portance ut the recent elections was
the collapse of the claims of leaders
of so-called class movements in the
United States.
The Socialist party polled nearer
100000 votes than 100000 which
it claimed it would get and the Farm
er Labor party expected to receive
hundreds of thousands of votes from
progressives Of various parties. 1t
did not even dent the American con-
sciousness. The Non-Partisan League
believed it would sweep several states
but it not only failed to carry single
new state or to elect an official of
any Importance in any one of them,
but it met disasterous reverses in its
own state, North Dakota.
Education of the public to the radi-
cal affiliations and aims of all these
organizations and the development of
a sound public consciousness is what
defeated their plans. AS the Dear
born Independent says: "The Ameri-
can citizen makes a poor red. He is
not even rose pink"

Trying II Again

Those who predicted that our old
friend, Wiljnybrien, sometimes men
toned as William Jennings Bryan,
was politically dead, have another
guess coming. As long as the supply
of newfangled fads holds out wiljay
can keep on the first page. When he
is pu. down for the count on one issue,
he looks over the situation and sizes
up the next fool notion that may ap-
peal to enough people to give him
standing and promptly jumps aboard
Of the band wagon and piles into q
front seat He is now out in the fore
front Of the Sunday blue laws move
ment. Wonder if he can get another
half million movie contract picturing
himself as Sunday school hero.

ment of one midshipman at the United

A Glorious Ruin to Repair

From day to day it becomes more
certain that with only revenue from
present tax laws in force. the United
States Treasury will face large defic-
its during the coming fiscal year. The
recession in business activity and the
depression in value incident to the de
flation process have either cut off in
come of many taxpayers of la year
or have brought about actual losses
when inventories are compared, so
that the revenue from income taxes
will be relatively small and the excess
profits taxes practically negligible.
Such is the financial situation the
Democratic administration turns over
to the Republicans next March. The
Democrats adopted an initiation policy
which made large profits in cheap
money for many people, and the gov
ernment collected a large proportion
of the profits in taxes. The same ad-
ninistration has adopted a deflation
policy which has been doing its ap-
pointed work during the year 1920
the year for which income taxes will
be paid in 1921. On the eve of their
retirement from control of the affairs
of the Government, the Democrats
have shut off the chief source Of rev
enuc but will turn to the Republicans
a huge, inflated governmental oreani-

WORD FROM WASHINGTON
COP. Has Not Forgotten

Washington, Dec. 7.-tSpecial cor
espondence) )-One of the objects to
which the new Republican administra-
tion will devote itself is the proper
care of disabled veterans of the world
war. The heartless way in which
those returned heroes have been treat
ed by the Vocational Education Bureau
the War Rish Bureau, and the Public
Health Service in providing and main
tanning hospitals is notorious. All OF
those divisions of the Government
must be recognized with the single
purpose in view of discharging the
debt which the country owes to the
disabled men from overseas.

School Notes

The Lamar schools will close Dec.
II for the Christmas holidays and will
open January 3rd.
Don't forget the Christmas Bazaar
at the high school Friday afternoon
and evening, December 10.
Mr.. John Bell of Greeley, gave an
interesting talk in chapel Wednesday
morning on health and efficiency.
A Junior High School Boys Club
has been organized which meets every
Friday night. The club is divided in
to two groups, one including boys who
weigh less than 100 pounds and the
other including those who weigh 100
pounds and over. Each division Is SUBJ
divided into seven groups to play bss-
ket ball, volley ball and indoor base
ball Several games have been sched-
uled.
A large number of boys have signed
up for basket ball and practice was
started Friday evening.
The basket ball practice game be-
tween Wiley and Lamar which was
scheduled for last Friday was post
poned on account OF it being impos-
sible TO heat the gym.
Aprons, dressed dolls and fancy
work of all kinds will be on sale at
the Bazaar Friday, December 10.
Col. Bartlett and Lieut.. Paxton, who
are interested in recruiting men in the
National Guard of this community,
gave interesting speeches in chapel
last week encouraging high school stu
lents to enlist.
All schools concerned will hand in
their votes this week On whether the
championship shall be decided by an
other game played this season, OF
whether ii shall be decided by vote.

Income Tax

December 18th is the last day for
payment of the fourth installment of
the income tax and excess profit taxes
due this year. To avoid penalty, the
tax must be in the offices of Collectors
of Internal Revenue or branch offices
by midnight Of that date.
Enquiries reaching the Commits
sioner OF Internal Revenue indicate u
belief that taxpayers have ten days
grace on this installment. Such a
provision was contained in the 1917
Revenue Act, but was removed by the
Revenue Act OF 1918.
Payment of the fourth installnieDt
may be made in cash or by money or
der or check. The Bureau of Internal
Revenue urges that whenever possible
payment be made by check or money
order. This method lelps the taxpay-
er b. saving him trip to the Collect
or's office and avoids congestion a,
the Cashiers window. Check or money
order should be made payable to Col
lcctor of Internal Revenue.
Bills will be sent to taxpayers, but
failure to receive a bill does not re-
licve the taxpayer OF his obligation to
pay on time"

Harry Heath is going TO sell part
of his herd and start in the pure bred
game. II his success at the new work
is as great as it has been with grades
he is bound to build up one Of the
finest herds in the state.
Dairymen are realizing that the
most profitable market for their corn
and alfalfa crops is through the dairy
COW, especially this winter when feed
prices are so low.
The Model Dairy has the high COW
this month again. but it is different
cow, showing that there are more than
few real quality cows at this farm.
Mr.. Leonard is an advocate Of plenty
of grain for the high producers and
he is getting excellent results from his
herd of purebreds.
The Green Mountain again leads the
association for high herd, having l4l9
pounds of milk and asa pounds Of but
terfat.
Lind and Havey are feeding more
concentrates than before, their feed
bill coming to Sl9.O5 last month. They
are feeding alfalfa hay, silage, corn
chop, alfalfa meal, and bran. They
are making big profits on heavy feed
ing, and they have to buy all their
feed, having no land to raise it on.
Niels Jensen and his bride are handl-
ing their dairy by themselves and get
ting settled down to housekeeping at
the same time We look for an excel
lent producing herd on this farm by
the carly part of next year.
Joe and Mike Boetto are dissolving
partnership on the first of January.
Mike will sell some Of his share of
the herd, which will come to about 20
cows. There is some extra fine stuff
here. all bred and raised in this coun-
try, nearly all of them with associa-
ton records.

Colorado Grain Wins at Chicago

The high quality OF Colorado agri-
cultural products was again demon
strated Mt the International Hay and
Grain show at Chicago this year where
Colorado grain won 81 awards, includ-
ing four firsts and five seondsc. The
Judging at this show began November
81 and was finished December 3. There
were entries from all parts Of the
United States and from Canada, and
the winnings made by Colorado pro-
duces were considered remarkable in
view OF the small number Of entries
made from this state. The Colorado
State immigration Department assist
ed all Colorado entrymen by having a
representative on the ground to see
that entries were properly made. The
most important winning was made by
Jol!- Howell of Montroso, who took
first place on Lard red winter wheat
and first on white spring whest.

When the Republicans begin TO look

While the Administration Smiled


In a public hall in Washington the
other day, William ID. Haywood, no
torious leader of the |. w. w, now
under a thirty-year sentence for vio-
lation Of the espionage law, addressed
an audience of 1000 people. He ex-
tolled the Russian soviet government.
hoped that the United States would
not he the last to follow Russia's ex-
ample. and called on American work
ers to ''open the prison doors" beforc
they themselves were imprisoned for
exercising the right of free speech. 1t
is reported that secret service men,
local Washington detectives, and po-
licemen in uniform were in the hall.
but that no attempt was made To in
terfere with the speaker. This is not
the first time that Red propagandists
have been allowed to disseminate their
poison under the very eyes OF govern
ment officials at the National Capital.
and probably other instances will occur
before March 4th. After that date
the United States Government will
have new virility, and will find a
way to deal effectively with those who
urge its overthrow by violence.

No Bakerized Army for u. S. A.

Those who have interviewed Senator
James W. Wadsworth of New York,
chairman of the Senate Military Az
fairs Committee, have received the i'm
preston that the committee will with
hold consent to the $4,000 or more
promotions of Army officers recently
made by Secretary Baker, which will
be submitted to the Senate for con-
firmation when Congress reconvenes.
Mr. Wadsworth apparently takes the
position that the whole morale Of the
Army under the Republican admins
tration would be affected by the
changes in rank, and inasmuch as his
party will be responsible for an ef-
ficient military force it should be per-
mitted to name the officers upon whom
the success of the new organization
will depend.
