until March /, 1921, and the boys
can feed anything they wish.
The calves will be spotted and
by committee of Breed
ers who know value and then the
boy can select his calf. The boy
can give his own personal note,
guaranteed by the father, and will
run until the date of sale after the
fair. These notes will probably
carry 8 percent interest and are ac-
ceptable by the banks.
Wish the fathers and mothers
who are readers OF this paper would
talk this over with their boys and
girls and giveit deep consideration.

The Republican Candidate

Mr.. III. j. Mantz is a native of
Iowa and has spent most of his
life in Audubon county. He lived
on the farm until twenty-five years
OF age. AS a boy he attended the
rural schools and later spent about
three years as country-school
teacher. Following this, he went
to law school where he worked his
way through. Then he returned
to Audubon, where he has since
practiced law.
He has been county attorney
four years; mayor of Audubon,
five years; chairman of the Red
Gross; chairman Of the Legal Ad-
visory Board; twice a member of
the Iowa General Assembly; and
during his last term, he was speak
er pro tempore OF the House OF
Representatives, to which position
he was unanimously elected.
Mr.. Mantz's record may truth
fully be put down as without
spot or blemish." In whatever
capacity he has served, he has
proved both capable and faithful.
A close study of his record can lead
only to the conclusion that he is
one of the ablest men that Audu-
bon county has so far produced;
and this is the meaning of his cleo
ton as speaker pro tempore of the
House at the beginning of his sec
ond term. If ability and fidelity
in public service constitute grounds
for promotion, he seems to have
earned such advancement.

The Democratic Candidate

Mr.. Fred Land, the democratic
candidate for the senate, is some
what older than his opponent, hav-
ing lived in the state of Iowa since
1868, and in Guthrie county for
more than forty-two years. He
owns and operates farm near
Casey, where he is active in all
affairs that make for community
betterment. He is director of
the Casey Lumber Company, a di-
rector OF the Casey Creamery Com
pany, also of the Telephone Com
pany OF that place, and of the
Farmers Union. Moreover he is
very active in the Farm Bureau
Federation, having performed val
liant service in the big drive of last
winter. In a letter, he expresses
the opinion that the Farm Bureau
Federation "is the best thing that
the farmers ever started"
Mr.. Land stands for revision of
the tax laws to favor the young
man who is trying to purchase a
farm, htlafng it to be unfair that
such person should have to pay
both interest on his debt and taxes
on the land. He holds that coun-
try boys and girls should have the
opportunity to secure as good an
education as have the boys and
girls who live in town; and he is
opposed to the State Highway Com
mission on the ground because it
takes away from the people the
right Of local self-government."

AUDUBON COUNTY
PIONEER GONE

George Fenstermacher, age 73 !
years, of ll75 Wisconsin street,
died uddenly at $50 O'Clock last
night while ridiGg in a car driven
by his son-in law, on the road about
six miles north Of Huron Physi-
clans attribute his death to heart
failure.
MIR. Fenstermacher was sitting in
the automobile and had, up to the
time of his death, been in the best
of spirits. He was not feeling i'll
in the least, and had been laughing
and conversing with his compan-
ions in the car while driving along
the road. just before he collapsed,
he suddenly placed his hand to his
heart and made the remark that
his heart seemed to be auttering in
queer manner. These were his
last words according to those who
were in the automobile with him.
He dropped forward and when the
car could be stopped and he was
raised to a sitting position again,
he had ceased to breathe.--Huron
paper.
MIR. Fenstermacher came to Iowa
in early days and spent about thir-
| ty-five years Of his life in Audubon
county. He then sold out and
went to Colorado, residing there
three years, moving then to Huron,
South Dakota, where he lived until
his death.
MIR. Fenstermacher lived a true
and devoted Christian life. He
leaves tn mourn his loss seven chill
dren, twenty-four grandchildren
and four great grandchildren.

OUR WEATHER EYE
Clearing the Air

q In the contest for the United
Il States senatorship, there are, some
\ good citizens of Audubon County
a who are supporting Mr.. Porter in
q the sincere conviction that the
Cummins-Esch railroad law is a
pernicious measure, and that be-
cause Mr.. Cummins is the author
of it, he should be driven from
public life. The Journal believes
\ that this view is so wide of the
Atruth that the shortest possible
Y shrift should be made of it.
1t wishes to say in beginning
that this. law does NOT guarantee to
the railroads five and one half per
Srent, as is so persistently stated,
Mnor any other return upon their in
}Ivestment whatever. The law does
say that the Interstate Commerce
Commission shall, in fixing trans
,portation rates, be guided by this
standard, as fair return, and
endeavor so to adjust rates as to
secure to the railways this percent
age upon the actual valuation Of
their properties. There is nothing
unfair about this, especially at
sjtime when interest rates through
fout the world are materially higher
than this. And if the Interstate
Commerce Commission misses its
guess and sets rates so low that
this return is not realized, the
railroads have NO redress what
ever. 1t follows that the common
statement to the effect that a
guarantee is provided is not true.
The Journal believes farmers
should take different view of the
railroad questions, than many of
them do. The roads were opera
ted by the government long enough
to wear out the equipment with
out replacing much if any of it;
Ihe roads were running at heavy
pss when turned back; investors
kould not put more money into
hem of course; and neither would
he banks lend them for the pur-
hase of new equipment. Whether
I've know it or not, they
ywere prostrate, as the reports to
ythe Interstate Commerce Commits
lsion show, with no possible relief
lin sight.
Farmers, more than any other
lass, stood to lose by this demoral-
Eation of the railroads; for without
jficient transportation, the farming
BUSINESS can NOT prosper. Indeed,
ery many in Audubon County
gave already suffered heavily by
Ibis cause. The new law seems tc
|e bringing order and efficiency out
!, II chaos; and as such, it should not
III Ie condemned, but approved, by
lose who stand to profit most of it
As stated last week, the present
1gJyht is made upon Senator Cum.
Tpins because he blocked the scheme
I of organized labor and served the
best interests Of the farmers of his
own state instead. In view Of this
farmers should not turn their backs
upon him at time when he is
marked for defeat by those who
are grimly determined to have the
Plumb plan enacted into law.

BABY BEEF CLUB
ORGANIZED IN COUNTY
Membership Drive to Take
Place During the Next
Two Weeks

At a recent meeting of the Aud
ubon County Farm Bureau Board
of Directors it was decided to Or
ganize in this county a Baby Beef
Club.
The objects in forming such a
Club in our estimation are very inn
portant along the educational line
in knowing the different points "a
feeder would emphasize when look
ing for feeder. Also from the
standpoint of the block, in knowing
an animal when they see one and
to pick an animal that would stand
as near the ideal type for butcher
ing. These points are very import
ant to a feeder and it is very es-
sential for young men growing up
on our Iowa farms to become ac-
quainted with these before he is
dependent on himself. Although
Club work may be criticized from
a financial standpoint, let us re-
member that experience sometimes
is a dear lesson, where, on the other
hand, we may profit by our mis-
takes.
Again we speak Of keeping our
young boys and girls interested on
the farm, and to the judgment Of
those who have had the experience
Of leaving the farm in their younger
days, come back with the excuse
that they left the farm from lack
of interest.
And now, dear readers, is it not
logical thinking that if we give our
boys and girls a chance, letting
them have something OF their own,
starting them out with bank ac-
count and giving them a little pub
licity, that we would not have the
trouble Of keeping their interest on
the farm? Is it not our youngest
habits and the foundation we build
while we are young that determines
what kind of man or woman we
grow up to be, as to whether we
are successful or not? And | be-
lieye that the same thing applies to
our interest along any agricultural
line.
So we are doing those things
from this office that we believe will
help the young boys and girls that
will soon be working for their own
interest.
Boys that fed calves last year in
other counties demonstrated by
their ability to feed that there is
something to the feeding game, be-
cause they made money where
some of the old head that have fed
cattle for the past ten or fifteen
years lost.
As to the Baby Beef Club let me
say that we are going to make a
drive securing and enrolling mem
bers this next two weeks. We have
secured Mr.. Petersen from the Iowa
Beef Producers Association, who
will assist us In the drive. He has
had the experience as a feeder and
also as breeder and will tell us
many points about a calf that no
doubt will be of interest and educa-
tional.
The age limit for the boys and
| girls enrolled IN the Club Is lO to
19 inclusive.
The calves to he entered in the
contest must be dropped sometime
after the first of January 1920 and
not later than September first OF
the same year. They can be of any
breed, grade or registered, and OF
either sex.
The calves entered in the contest
will go on feed as soon as we can
procure the calves, sometime be.
/ tween now and December lst. The
contest closes August l, 1921. The
use of nurse COW will be permitted
