SOMEBODY WILL SEND him FLOWERS.

Nelson, the self ordained preacher.
who committed bigamy and Is in Jail
at Des Moines is attracting much
attention by his professions OF sor-
row and repentance and his ex-
pressed desire to get back to his
wife and children" The case is IA
miliar by reason Of the wide publicity
it has been given. This hedge preach
er met nice little Is year old girl at
man and persuaded her into mar
riaage with him when he had a fam
lily in Chicago. He then ran away,
was captured and is in jail whiningly
hoping that he will escape the con-
sequences Of his crime.
This fellow should get the extreme
limit Of the law. He is not only a
scoundrel but a coward. His crime
was as villainous as rape. It lacked
the brutality but it is SO essentially
in Nervousness.
That such men should plead the
wife and children they neglected and
disgracaed isn't stonishing. They
almost invariably do.
The man who has failed to give his
family decent support and has vio-
lated every obligation to wife and
family when he finally feels the pinch
Of the law and the fears the pitiless-
ness Of publicity his wife and family
are usually his first line of defense.
He rushes to the newspaper office
or sends delegation Of his friends
or lodge members to use the wronged
wife and the neglected children as a
barrier to publication OF his shame.

Substitutes For Coal and Gas.

Supetitutoo FOR Coal and Gas.
The French have been looking to
the tidal energy and q system Of
reservoirs to produce and store cleo
trfcity on gigantic scale as sub
stitute for coal. In March last, Pro-
lessor Soddy. Of Oxford university,
intimated that regarding both fuel
and food a startling announcement,
the nature of which was not revealed,
might be looked for at any moment
Recently from Rome came word Of
discovery by which static electric
ity In the atmosphere may be trans
ferred into dynamic current by a
chemical process. simultaneously It
was reported from Seattle that a
young scientist OF that city has in
vented an electric coil which Is said
, to create energy from the air with
out the consumption Of anything
tangible.
II all that Is claimed for this lat
ter invention be true, 1t will GER
tatnly exercise q revolutionary in
nuence on social commercial and in
dustrial activities. The assertion is
made that dynamo weighing less
than forty pounds will generate
enough current to heat and light an
ordinary sized house. in addition to
cooking the family meals. The prin-
ciple can be applied to operate motor
cars and boats. to discharge vir-
tually every function to which cleo
tricity is now put. The device is u
cost but small amount for installa-
ton. and after that its operation will
be without cost, 30 that heat, Eight
and energy will thenceforward be
free.
Just as Ill that glitterS IL not yoltI,
SO these new inventions may not
prove to be so successful In practise
as they look in theory.-Washingto

TWO BUILDING COST ITEMS.

There is one sure sign to indicate
whether the year 1921 will see a
revival of building-that is whether
or not there Is to be substantlal
and permanent reduction IN the
prices Of building material-Mason
City Globe Gazette.
Say 10000 feet Of lumber for a
house. Say reduction Of $50 per
M. That's 5000. 1t would bring the
cost Of a $4,000 house down $500 on
the lumber bill.
But what of the labor costs?
That is the big item in building, the
cost Of labor by reason Of high wage
and the even greater item Of lessened
production.
Which is likely to most AFFECT
building operation. material or exces-
sive labor costs2

The Farm Movement.

Times Republican,:
In the T.-R. Nov. 16 under title of
Topics Of the Times you ask. II it
is right for the original producers to
band together to boost primary
prices. Why Is it wrong when the
original purchasers band together to
bull the market by agreement.
The farmers are not banding to-
gether to bull the market. They only
ask a fair profit for their hard work
is he Is not entitled to a generous
profit for his labor and money IN
vested who under the sun is? The
farmer can not survive and prod
at loss. AS for the original pur-
chaser, middle men, or Spectator
which ever you may call them. If
they must be, should be satisfied
with q fair profit as they only live
off Of other peoples labor. Just sup
pose the T.-R. sold its product to
a middle man for four dollars year
and he in turn sold 1t to the public
for eight. The principle would be the
same. I think some times the T.-R.
Is entirely out OF sympathy with tbs
farmer il 80 the sooner the farmer
knows 1t the better there are others.
Yours for fair deal. G. p. Brist-
ley, Conrad, Iowa.

The first thing spoken Is think OF
his wife and children" think Of his
aged parents" etc. He apparently
hasn't thought of or cared a tinker's
dam about either or any of them.
That they should be pitied secretly
by his neighbors and feel the sting
Of shame and neglect hasn't appar-
emily disturbed him. The minute he
is pinched, however he hastens to
make them line Of defense between
himself and open disgrace or be-
tween himself and the penitentiary.
This fellow Nelson posed as a
preacher. It seems that he was q
self assumed preacher, = sort OF
hedge preacher Of his own ordina-
ton. But at Boone it gave him
standing and kindled confidence. He
used 1t as a stalking horse from be-
hind which he pursued innocence to
its destruction. It further appears
that tho he drew large wages his
family suffered want. Selfish, crook
ed. scoundrelly, sneak, libertine
and liar he has earned the extreme
penalty that the law provides for his
crime and should get 1t.
Still. he will find sympathizers
There Is always that maudlin and
halfbaked element that seeks an out
let Tor their emotionalism by SYM
pathizing with knaves and criminals.
Somebody will send him flowers.

Answer. to waterway. Questions.

Answers to Yasterday's Questions.
/. is 1t the American rat which Is
SO destructive in our houses7
The American rat is In the woods
and is rarely seen even by woodsmen,
and tho native mouse barely hovers
upon the outskirts of civilization:
while the old world species defy our
traps and our poison, and have
usurped the land.
2. What causes vermin in birds
nests?
The ver1nin with which birds nests
often swarm, and which kill the
young before they are fledged is the
curse OF civilization falling upon the
birds which come too near to man.
The vermin, or the germ of the YER
min, is probably conveyed to the nest
in hens feathers, or In straws and
hairs picked up about the barn or
henhouse.
8. Is the gun essential for bird
study?
II Is true that the student Of orni-
thology often feels compelled to take
bird life. It is not an easy matter to
name all the birds without q gun
tho an opera glass will often render
Identification entirely certain, and
leave the songster unframed: but.

WHAT THE MAN COME up TO SAY.

The man came into the editorial
offices. DO you ever take suggestions
for an editorial article?" Assured that
such suggestions were welcome he
said "a seventeen year old boy was
sentenced to ten years in the peni-
Tertiary here in court the other day,
just q seventeen year old kid. Seems
to me there's chance for good
editorial" 'If you would like to have
the paper plead leniency for that boy
it will not do It," replied the editor
addressed: THAT boy had earned q
pentitentiary sentence and under
present conditions it would be
against good public policy to do any
sob stuff over the righteous punish
ment Of youths who have deliberately
set out on campaign OF violent
crime That's not what. want" the
man said. but tell boys about town to
think before they start. Tell parents
to look after their boys and their girls
and guide them away from evil
companions and the byways that
lead to crime and the penitentiary."
Then this man went on to relate in
confidence much that he knew and
had observed personally and that had
come to him from reliable sources OF
young men and young women and
older men and older women who
have secrets to conceal that would
blast their good repute and might
bring them to the bar of the courts,
OF parents who sorrowed and
watched and strove to Guide too late.
1t had been his observation that
the boy and girl whose parents were
too busy to find something for them
to do, to put some, responsibility up
on them and insists that they should
accept It are the ones who gravitate
to- trouble as the sparks fly upward.
He said he didn't SO much blame the
kids. He said that no matter how
well bred puppy might be that 1t
became a tramp dog and q chicken
killer If allowed to run loose without
restraint and training by its owner.
The man said that and several other
pertinent things out Of his dobserva-
ton and his knowledge of things and
affairs about town.
That's about ALL The suggestion IS
passed on as he made it. Why don't
they think2
One other suggestion: The man or
woman, young or older who fondly
deceives himself that derelictions are
safely concealed is the worst fooled
person in town. Little escapes. Some
body knows or somebody suspects
with facts behind the suspicion.
Groups talk it over. It leaks. It al
most always leaks. There's another
thing to think Of first.
Well. there it il. That's what the
man came up to the office to say and
suggest. He said it.

Moves, 1t Is known, likes very much
to read his words aloud to his
friends, and at Princeton, with so
many young men under him, he is
usually able to crafty this liking to

Moves said to junior who had
called about an examination:
Wait q minute. Don't go yet. I
want to show you the proofs Of my

But the Junior made for the door
