FARM RENTED
! BY AUCTION
ADMINISTRATORS IDEA BRINGS
$50 AN ACRE FOR PLACE.

Marshalltown, Ia, Jan. 23.-What
probably is the highest rent paid for
a farm in Iowa will be paid for the
240 acres belonging to the Andrew C..
Bale estate, four miles southeast of
State Center, in this county, during
the year of 1920. The rent paid for
the acreage is $40 per acre, or $4,-
500 a year for the entire farm.
Bale, is the man who, while tenn
porarily insane several days ago, shot
and killed his wife, wounded his
father-in-law, "A. r. Eastman, and
then killed himself. A special ad-
ministrator of the estate was named
by the court, and, because it was
necessary to get the farm rented and
in shape for the new years work, he
hit upon the plan of renting the farm
by auction. The bidding was very
spirited, as farms are hard to get,
and some tenants have no places in
sight for March 1. Ralph Engle, of
Albion, was the successful bidder,
and takes possession Immediately.
Mr.. Eastman, Bales father-in-law,
who developed pneumonia following
his wounds, is a patient in the State
Center hospital, and is making good
progress with the disease. While for
a time it was feared he would die,
it is now believed that his chances
for recovery are good.

WILL ENFORCE
COAL COMPACT
TO INFORM OPERATORS THEY
MUST RESTORE STATUS QUO
OF OCTOBER 81, 1919.

Washington, Jan. 23.-Attorney
General Palmer has told officials of
the United Mine Workers that the de-
partment of justice will enforce the
terms Of President Wilson's PROPOSE
tion for the settlement of the recent
strike and that in all cases where op-
orators have refused to permit min
ers to return to work the government
will enforce the Lever law against
them.
Officials of the mine workers
brought to the attorney generals at
tention cases of operators in several
states, including Colorado and Wash
ington, who they said, refused to per-
init miners>to resume work, and that
most of those operators were requir-
ing their employees to sign an indi-
vidual agreement renouncing the
union and pledging themselves not
to join again or promote the organiza
tion if they are allowed to return to
work.
He said that he would inform the
operators that they must abide by
the provisions of the presidents s
proposition, even to the extent of in
stituting prosecutions.

Colds Can Cut
High Cost

Mitchell, Jan. 23.-If the Dakota
Wesleyan co-eds had the preparation
and serving of the average SIS per
plate hotel banquet they would do
things to the high cost of living.
Recently a certain hotel served
such banquet. Miss Alma RAimen-
schneider, of the domestic scienc ue-
partment of the university, declared
the price was too high. She put her
class of co-eds to work on the pre-
paration Of similar menu. Result,
the dinner, a five-course affair, was
served to thirty people at the uni
versity at net cost of 76 cents per
plate. Every item on the hotel menu
was duplicated.
Miss Reimenschneider admitted
the bulk of the saving was made in
the service, yet she maintained that
the girls who are making a study of
the proper use of the market basket
can make saving of Is to 80 per
cent on the average family menu.

PARTISAN TICKET

Pierre, Jan. 23.-The secretary Of
state, in sending out lists of nominees
'Of the various parties, calls attention
specifically to the fact that many of
the selections will not be found on
the ballot which goes to the voters
in March.
Under the provisions of the prim-
ary law itself, where there is no par
ty opposition there will be nothing
to present at the primary election,
all such selections of the proposal
meetings automatically gonig upon
the ballot in November as the party
candidates.
On the republican state ticket the
only names will be those Of senator,
national committeeman, state chair
man and railway commissioner In the
third district; this, of course, follow
ing the republican proposal selections
for president, along with the petition
candidates.
|, The probabilities are that In most
of the counties there will be more
or less contest for county positions,
but where there is but one candidate
his name will not appear on the bal
lot.
On the democratic list there will
be on the state ticket only the names
for national committeeman and state
chairman, unless the chairman Of the

MILLIONS FROM
WILD HAY
WHOLE TRAIN LOAD PRAIRIE
HAY LEAVING s. ID. FOR
WYOMING AND MONTANA.

Pierre, Jan. 23.--While thousands
of tons Of wild hay are being baled
and shipped out of South Dakota this
year, Lyman county appears to be
the heaviest shipping section.
The hay crop in that part of the
state last year was heavy one and a
number of farmers and ranchers cut
the plentiful supply with the hope OF
a market in the east, as they have
found it in past years.
But the demand from that direc-
tion fell below normal, and the west
takes most of their supply, shipments
of whole train loads of baled hay
being sent to Wyoming and Montana
points.
The price runs from $40 to $25
per ton, which makes a good return
on investment in land with no furth-
er effort to collect it than gathering
the natural crop, with no seeding or
planting-that having been attended
to by nature. %W
Just now many dollars will be
paid South Dakotans for wild hay for
last years crop would be hard to
estimate anything near accurately
with the situation as it is, but with
hay being baled and sent out from
most of the railway stations in the
Missouri valley section OF the state,
and all bringing good prices, the re-
turns will run into several million
dollars.

from this section are expecting to at

consolidated school movement which
will be held at the Iowa State Teach

similar conference ever held in the
United States, according to thestate-
ment Of Macey Campbell, chairman

GET ADDITIONAL
FIRE APPAkA 'UR
NEW FIRE TRUCK FOR THE
MADISON DEPARTMENT.

The city is fortunate in having
among it's fire fighting fo' en-
whose mechanicaL ability1. pa
80 ans cf saving Several -fhasxa 10
lars.
Off and on, in leisure time, several
men belonging to our fire department
have been quite busy evenings and
Sundays constructing a pneumatic
ladder carryih truck and converting
the motor truck formerly used by the
city electrician into a fire fighting
vehicle. This latter was given a thor
ough overhauling. New parts were
supplied where necessary, the engine
being put in Al condition for instan-
taneous use in case of emergency.
New tires were added and the ex-
terror beautifully painted a brilliant
red with appropriate gilt lettering on
each side of the hood. This truck is
arranged to carry coils of rope and
other apparatus necessary for use at
a fire.
The most interesting thing achiev-
ed was the building of the ladder
trailer. Two sound wheels were af-
fixed to an axle turned out at a local
shop form the running gear that has
attachment to perfectly new frame
work SO constructed as to hold the
extension ladders, boots, roof-axes
and other articles need for work. A
neat running board prettily lined
with linoleum, held down with brass
strips, graces the truck and adds an
artistic appearance to the outfit.
1t is the trailer that commands
attention. New tires are on the rims
and coat of red finish gives the We
hicle a suggestion of newness
throughout. Everything about the
truck and trailer speak of thorough
ness for the builders.
During a fire this outfit will in
deed be very useful and handy. The
trailer can easily be detached from
the truck since gas pipe rest swings
from its locks to the ground at will
o fthe operator, hol dthe front end
horizontal.
luOSS WHO nave lOOhcQ the OuIIlL
over could hardly believe it t ohave
been built right here in town. 1t has
the looks of factory built affair.
Certainly the city officials should
take into account the interest the
boys have shown in this bit of work,
which is gratis to the city, and make
some move towards the erection of a
suitable building in which to house
all the new fire fighting apparatus.
Madison is growing rapidly-fire
risks, too. The volunteer company
are asked to extingish blazes in fire
traps while the city commission Of
fers only fire trap for the protec-
tion of it's costly equipment. We
need new city hall large enough to
take care of everything conyected
with the fire department and the
sooner we get it the better.
A vote of thanks should be given
Chief Clyde Walker and his able as
sistants for the saving made in their
recent construction work.
