Bickel's Bakery Burns at McGregor.
At $3.50 Thursday morning fire
broke out in the Bickel Bakery
Plant. The fire call was at once sent
in, but the electrical device which
rings the alarm, failed to work. Be-
fore the fire department could be in
dividually called by telephone, the
fire had gained such tremendous
Roadway that it could not be con-
trolled. The plant and contents were
totally destroyed. The loss sustained
lis $4,000, which is partly covered
Icy insurance.
The business will be temporarily
carried on in the Masonic Block I'M

School Teachers Got Their Pay.

AFTER vigorous lawsuit before the
district court of Davis county In
Bloomfield two plueky sehoolma'ams
won from couple OF school boards
in Soap Greek township who had
withheld from the young women
wages due them. The trouble grew
out of the flu epidemic in 1918. Two
country schools were closed for sew
eral weeks and the directors refused
to pay for the time thus lost. The
young women stated that they were
ready to fill their part of the con-
tract and the jury decided that they
had the better argument and allowed
them full pay and taxed the cost OF
the suit to the school district involy'

New Use For waterworks Pump.


Usually the ouly necessary pump
ing required in a city pumping sta
ton is the water required for the
city needs. The water works in DEL
vein are distinctly different, how
ever, in that whenever there is a
wet season, it is necessary to pump
water out of the reservoir instead of
into it. The reservoir is built into
the solid rock and is fed from wells
about a half mile away by means OF
siphons, thus whenever there is a
large amount of moisture in the
ground the siphon has much great
er pressure and the reservoir is fill,
ed faster that the city needs draw il
out, and a pump is kept busy keep

An Opportunity Seldom Give
Waukon.
Given


The Minneapolis symphony Or
chestra which comes to Waukon for
two concerts, afternoon and evening,
on Saturday May goth, is maintain
ed by fund of St25, 000 subscribed
annually by the citizens of Mime
apolis. The orchestra makes several
tours every year, besides playing a
long season in the twin cities. Every
one who has tried knows that it is
always very difficult to secure tick
: cts to its twin city concerts, on &C
count of the great popularity of the
organization in those two piaces.As-
The orchestra returned a short
time ago from tour of the Pacific
coast and southwest. and is now on
its spring festival tour, which takes
it to Winnipeg, Omaha, Kansas City,
Indianapolis, Toledo, Oshkosh, La
Crosse, Iowa City, Ames, Cedar
Falls. and other points, including
the engagement at Waukon.
The opportunity of the citizens of
Waukon to hear this great musical
organization is one that comes only
once in a life time. The engagement
was secured through the efforts OF
the business men and women of
Waukon, and the net proceeds, II
any, are to be turned over to the
band, our own musical organization.

SHOWS CAMPBELL WAS. AGAINST LAND BOARD. POLICIES LAST FEB.

Producing a letter received by him carly last February from Governor Thomas F. Campbell, J. T. Clark of Wilcox has written The Republican to show that the governor was opposed months ago to the present policies of the state land department. Mir. Clark says in his letter:
 After counseling with many of the citizens of this place, I have decided to mail you for publication a true copy of a letter which I received from Gov ernor Campbell February ,. showing beyond question his attitude toward the state land policies at that time. 1 truly hope this will be a source of in formation to the honest voters of this state"
 Following is the copy of the letter from the governor:

 My Dear Mir. Clark: You certainly hit the nail squarely on the head in the closing sentence of your letter to me under date of February 2, 1920, when you say:
 "'There has got to be some radical change in the state land policy
 'T thoroughly agree in this. Tn fact. there is no hope of relief until such time as our policy of administration of state lands is radically changed
 Tt has always been my contention, and I still maintain its correctness that decentralization of responsibility makes decentralization of authority The legislature. in its wisdom, saw fit to establish a land board consisting of five executive officers of the state. of which I am one. These officers in turn select the state land commis- sioner, and it has always been the policy of the board to uphold his acts. Perhaps you can realize how futile the efforts are of one man-referring to myself-to make a winning fight against those arrayed on the opposite side of the political fence. A sug- | gestion, even. coming from me is sui | ficient for the other members to as | sume a hostile attitude, and I have | found through unpleasant experience that my attempts are predestined to | defeat
 Under the circumstances. regret table though they may be, I would ad- wise that in order to obtain relief. you | file a contest before the state land then take the issue to a court of con- | potent jurisdiction.

 Cost to Grower Small
 Because Of the varying weights of the bales. it is impossible to figure the exact cost per pound of cotton to the grower under this plan" said Mir. Lord yesterday. "But assuming that 20 bales of exactly 800 pounds each, stored here, are pledged to obtain a S2500 90- day draft, the cost to the grower, in cluding insurance. storage, weighing, grading. etc.. would be a little less than 2l5 cents a pound.
 This plan, as formulated by the Harris Trust and Savings bank through the Western States Securities company" Mir. Lord added, gives the owner control of the sale of his cotton as long as the proper margin is main ] tained on his loan permitting him to ! sell to the highest bidder. The Harris Trust and SavingG bank and the West ern States Securities company are CO., operating with banks here and through | out the valley in financing this sea- | sons crop, and while a million dollars | is not large considering the value of | the entire crop. it s hoped the money will be of some assistance during the period of credit"

 this move has been as much to the end
