Thinning Plants

Plants should be tilinned to an
even stand if you expect to produce
good vegetables. Crowded plants
never produce high yields and there
is even greater sacrifice of quality
where they are not. given ample
space to grow in. The vegetables
never reach their full size and are
often so crowded that in case of
such crops as radishes and beets
they are irregular in shape-crooked
and pitted to such an extent that
much of the edible part is wasted
when they are used.
The stand is too thick in many
gardens this year. There is always
a tendency for gardeners to sow
more seeds than are necessary. This
was particularly true during seeding
time this year, for the season was
late and extremely unfavorable, and
growers wanted to be certain of a
good, thick stand from the first
planting. They at least wanted to
have enough.
This was no doubt a good scheme
and has, up to this time, resulted in
no particular harm except the extra
seeds have been wasted. However,
the plants must be thinned soon be-
fore they begin crowding each other.
1t is most always better to thin
out than to have to replant several
days after the first planting, be-
cause the stand is uneven and the
work of caring for the crop is in
creased. The late plants usually
suffer more from the attacks of
insects and they also mature later,
doubling the work at harvest time.
Not all vegetable crops need thin
ming. With some crops, such, for
example, as beets and radishes, it is
a common practice to delay the
thinning until the plants are ready
to use. In this way a great deal
of waste is avoided.
In general, however, most of the
common vegetable crops will need
to be thinned, and the work should
be done before the plants become
too large. If the thinning is done
when the plants are very small the
work is much easier.
The extent to which plants are
to be pulled out in thinning depends
on the kind of plant, the nature of
its growth, the method of cultivat-
ing and training. The kind of soil
also has something to do with thin
ming. If the soil is rich in general
more plants may be left.

Vacant lots still are maintaining
the lead in the realty market, dealers

other tract of 40 lots was sold out
entirely last week, in the southeast

These lots were all sold on the

RENTERS LEAGUE
IS DISAPPROVED
BY INVESTORS
Five Apartment House Con-
tracts Cancelled Due to Agi-
tation, Realtor Says.

Investors interested in the build
ing of apartment houses, and other
classes of residential rental prop
erty, do not view the Tenants
league with favor.
w. R. Adair, president of the
Omaha Loan and Building associa-
ton, says the Tenants league, and
other agitation for regulation of
rents, is discouraging building.
I'VE have five clieqts,' Mr.. Adair
said, "who had become reconciled
to high prices of building materials
and labor and were ready to build.
"But when they saw the posi-
billty of attempted dictation by law,
OF prices they should charge, they
all refused to 60 ahead.
Every one of these clients would
have built an apartment house. But
none is willing to take chance
on not being able to collect enough
rent to pay on the investment.
"Five new apartment houses
would help relieve the housing
shortage"
Frank H. Myers, with others in
terested in rental properties, be-
lieves no law can be passed by the
city council fixing a rental scale.
"If a man builds an apartment" i"
Mr.. Myers said, "and establishes
his rental scale, no city ordinance
can require him to rent his prop
erty for less than his scale.
1T would be just as reasonable
to tell the tenant, You've got to
pay a certain price,"
Realtors say the demand for
places to live is not decreasing.

ents who wanted to buy I bought

KAISER GIVEN FREEDOM.

The severe restrictions which the
Dutch government imposed on the
movements of the former German
Emperor at the time of the Kapp
revolution in Berlin, at the request
of the allied powers, appear to be
gradually relaxing.
William now moves about more
freely perhaps than at any time
since he went to Holland nearly two
years ago. These movements are,
of course, confined to the territor-
ial limits set by a royal decree, in
Gliding the villages of Doom and
Amerongen but inside this territory
the exile is now fulfilling his dream
of living the life of Dutch country
gentleman.
He goes frequently to Amerong-
en-, to visit Count Bentinck, his
former host, and to chat with the
notary, Schrott, who is not only the
former Emperor's business agent
and attorney, but also more or less
of a personal friend.
William also calls on a number
of families of the Dutch nobility
who live around Doom and Amer
ongen, principally those whose
heads belong to the Knights of st.
John, the order of which, as king
of Prussia, the German emperor
was leader.
Dutch guards escort him on these
trips, but he goes whenever he likes
Doom has lost all curiosity in the
Hohenzollerns and only the occa-
sional tourist halts to stare at Will
liam's automobile as it passes in
the streets.

OUT FOR REPRESENTATIVE.
Young Farmer Who Knows the
Needs of the Farmers a Form
liable Candidate.

f. c. Sampson, one of our pro-
gressive young farmers is the re-
publican candidate for representa-
tive in the state legislature, from.
Audubon county. 1t seems useless
for us to make any comments on his
candidacy, for he is so well known
here. He was born and raised in
Viola township and has lived here
all OF his life. In fact, his parents
came here in an cary day and are
numbered among the pioneers of the
county.
Mr.. Sampson has been active III
the things that make for the better
ment of the town and community
For years he has been connected
with the agricultural society and at
present is the treasurer of the So
ciety. When the Farm Bureau
was started, he was among the first
to take hold of 1t and for a time
was one of it's officers.
There is a feeling in this part of
the state that more farmers SHOULD
be in the legislature and to meet
this demand the republicans placed
in nomination one OF its most capa-
BILE young farmers-one who knows
the needs of the farmers.
Mr.. Sampson has made quite
thorough canvass of the voters OF
the county, yet it has been impos-
sible to see all of them. He is ap-
pealing to them for support through
the columns of this paper, and asks
that they give him just considera-
ton at the polls on November End.
Mr.. Sampson is clean, honest and
ambitious and if elected, will rep
resent all of the people to the best
of his ability.

STRAW VOTE SHOWS
HARDING IS WINNER
Voters in Every State in The Union
Record Their Preference
on Presidency.

In straw vote totalling 1,0l1,-
460 votes, taken at several thous-
and voting places and representing
every state in the Union, Harding
leads Cox by a majority of 205, 5S2.
The republican nominee gets 60 per
cent of the votes cast, compared to
40 per cent for Cox.
This poll, taken by the Rexan
drug stores throughout the nation,
is one of the most accurate and COM
prehensive barometers of the COM
ing presidential election it is pos
sible to get. Every state in the I'm
ion is represented anu the vote is
so large that it represents a good
percent of the total vote of the ma
ton.
Harding leads in every state ex-
cept in fifteen states of the social
ed "solid SOUTH The poll publish
ed includes figures tabulated up to
noon on October %. Missouri,
which heretofore has been in the
Cox column, has switched to the
Harding column.
Harding popularity with the fe-
male voter is as great as it is with
the male voters, according to the
figures of the poll. OF the total of
more than a million votes, Harding
receives the votes of 158,22S wo-
men as compared to 1888 for Cox.
The male vote was divided 50,293
for Harding and 305,316 for Cox.

EXIRA CONGREGATION
ROI,TS CHURCH Union

Dissatisfaction over the loss of
their individual organization has re-
suited in a withdrawal by the for
mer members of the Christian
church from the Federated church
in Extra. and the Church of Christ
will again become a separate entity.
The decision came at a meeting of
the congregation a few days ago,
and the proposition to withdraw
was carried by the narrow margin
of 3S to 80. Many of the most
prominent supporters, it is said, op-
posed the secession.
The meeting was attended by
Rev. Babcock, former pastor of the
congregation, who was asked to pre-
side. Rev. Babcock, who is a stu
dent pastor, upon leaving with his
wife for California last spring, was
called as assistant pastor to Rev.
Henry, the Federated minister. On
account OF the illness of his wife,
who is belfast at her parents home
in California, he will be unable to
return to Extra.
Acting upon his resignation, the
community church has concluded to
do without an assistant pastor.
The Methodist, Congregational
and Christian churches formed a
merger last spring, and they have
been. using the Christian building,
the best of the three. for their wor-
ship. They will continue TO hold
services there until the Christians
secure a pastor OF their own, after
which the federated services will be
moved to the Congregational
church

WHEAT PRICES GOING UP.
Farmers i'm Organization Decide to
Hold Their Product Until
Conditions Change.

Whether farmers of the south
west are obeying a strike CALI is
sued recently by the Wheat Grow
ers' association, in the form OF a
proclamation calling upon its mem
bers in several states to withhold
their wheat from the marnet until
q basic price Of SO bushel was
reached, has not yet been ascer-
tanned.
Reports from some grain mar
ket centers attributed decreases in
the wheat supply received an in
crease in price to the proclamation.
No widespread curtailment of wheat
offerings was reflected in the grain
markets of the southwest.
j. &. hohler, secretary of the
Kansas board of agriculture, de-
cLares there was no farmers

probably only a minority of the
grain growers in Kansas would
back the movement.
On the other hand, w. II. Nc
Greevy, of Wichita, Kan, secretary
of the Wheat Growers association,
declared the strike" was in effect
and that the farmers are in the
fight to o
Wheat will go to SO per bushel
in ninety days, due to the refusal
of the association members to sell,
the secretary predicted, prior TO
receipt of news that the market in
Chicago has stiffened, due to the
falling off in deliveries. Mr.. Nc
Greevy stated that he expected no
increase for thirty days, by which
time the farmers will have made
their strike felt. Sixty days more
will see the goal of SO wheat at

The associations proclamation
requesting that no more wheat be
sold until the price went to SO per
bushel went into effect Tuesday
night. Confidence that practically
the entire membership of the as
ISOLATION would remain firm in the
decision not to sell was expressed
by the secretary.

A SPLENDID CANDIDATE.
Man Who Has Lived Here Practical.
ly All His Life Entitled
to Support.

Andrew Jorgensen, the republican
candidate for sheriff, is making a
thorough canvass of the county in
the interests OF his candidacy, and
reports that the voters everywhere
are considerably interested in poll
tics this year. From all indications
ii appears that the women will vote
in large numbers.
Mr.. Jorgensen was for a period of
thirty years one of our progressive
farmers. Shortly after his marriage
he located on a farm in Oakfield
township and from there moved to
farm in Hamlin township. How
ever, his longest residence was on a
farm in Cameron township, where
he resided until five years ago, when
he entered the automobile business.
Mr.. Jorgensen has been industri-
Gus and looked after his own bus
mess affairs. He is man of good
sound judgment and is in every way
qualified to fill the position TO which
he was nominated at the June pri-
mary by the republican voters OF the
county.
He asks the voters of Audubon
county to give him the consideration
they think he is entitled to, and as
sures them that he will appreciate
their votes on November I'd.
He is making a clean canvass. He
is making no bones about his want
ing to be elected. He went into the
race in good faith and is doing ev-
erything in his power to bring about
an honorable victory.
He wishes to appeal to the voters
of the county through the columns
of the Republican for their united
support. He has many friends in
all parts of the county who are urg-
ing his election. They all recognize
his honesty and fitness to fill this
important office.

TIM HARDING WINNER.
Speaker from the East Tells Iowa
People that 1t Is All Over
But the Shouting.

There's nothing to it. 1t is all
| Harding. Travel in the east as
have for the past few weeks and
this impression will be forced upon
you"
This is the opinion of former Gov.
M. b. Brumbaugh, of Pennsylvania,
who gave non-political address a,
the Auditorium in Council Bluffs on
Tuesday night. The expression was
made in the course of an interview
Monday morning, soon after his ar
rival.
at will be a landslide for Hard
ing, in my opinion" said the govern
or. II think there is little doubt
but that Harding will carry all the
northern states of consequence. Cox
may carry Montana, but / don't see
how he can have strong hopes for
the others. 1t is a foregone con-
clusion that the republican national
ticket will win and the party is max
ing it's strong efforts in certain SEN
atorial contests. For instance, the
fight centered on Cummins in this
state, and Norbeck in South Dakota.
Cummins has a fight on his hands,
but he will win out"
Governor Brumbaugh has been
over twenty-eight states thus far
and says the east is where you hear
the noise and where you can get a
pretty good idea of the outcome.
at is not so much the league of
nations that is affecting the people.
They want to get away from one
man rule. Everybody wants a league
or something that will do away with
war, but they want the people to
have something to say about formu-
lating It.. Most of them do not I'M
derstand the league"
Governor Brumbaugh declared
that in his estimation Pennsylvania
his own state, will give a greater
majority for Harding than New
York state.
There is some doubt about Indi-
ana" he said, but that state, I
think, is safe in the republican
ranks, as well as Illinois,"

PROMINENT SPEAK
ERS PRESENT issues
Voters of the County Given Oppor-
tunity of Hearing Noted
Republicans.

Two PROMINENT republican
speakers visited Audubon this week
and discussed the political issues OF
the campaign in mass meetings held
at the court house.
Tuesday evening Hon. III. w. By
ers, of Des Moines, spoke to an en-
thusiastic audince. Mr.. Byers was
attorney general of the state three
terms and came originally from
Shelby county. He is regarded as
one of the best posted men in Iowa.
He is an easy, fluent speaker and
presented his case in dignifiea
manner. He was not abusive, but
dealt with facts.
He spent much of his time dis.
cussing what the democrats have
called state house scandal" He
went into the matter that was aired
in the press of the state connecting
some of the officials with the sale o,
Associated Packing stock. He did
not try to shield those who had
done wrong, but acknowledged that
he with others was ashamed of the
record made by those in authority.
This record, however, has nothing
to do with the present candidate for
governor, N. e. Kendall. Mr.. Byers
! spoke very earnestly in his behalf.
The speaker did not touch on the
national issues. He did take up the
matter of the opposition that APP
peared to exist against A. B. Cum
minis, the republican candidate for
United States senator. Mr.. Byers
knows the senator as well as any
man on earth. He told his audience
that the opposition to Cummins was
not justifiable, that his railway bill
was in fact the best and most con,
structive piece of legislation that
had been enacted in a decade. Cum
Minis protected the interests of the
farmer and made is possible for
him to ship his products to market.
He made an effective appeal for
Senator Cummins.
| Wednesday evening Ex-senator
Moses Il. Clapp, of Minnesota, spoke
| in the same room to an audience
that taxed the capacity of the room.
Mr.. Clapp is one of the brainiest
men in the nation and came into the
state to urge the election of Senator
| Cummins, with whom he served in
the senate of the United States for
several years. He explained the
Cummins-Esch bill which is respon-
sible for the senator's opposition.
He went into the bill very thorough
ly and convinced many people that
the senator from Iowa was right in
the stand he had taken.
He devoted much of his time to
the discussion of the League of Ma
tions. He had very little to say
about Gov. Cox, for Cox said he was
for the Wilson policies. Mr.. Clapp
has a wonderful fund of informa-
ton and was able to explain in a
