Car Owned by wnneshieker.

Four young men from Waucoma
left the last of the week in Ford,
reports saying they expected to reach
Frisco, g.
They were last heard of at ogden
Iowa, so sheriff Wright attempted to
have them apprehended at Omaha.
The only person who seems to desire
to head them off is the father of one
OF the four, Mr.. Novak, who wants
his boy to come, back. The owner OF
the car makes. no attempt to regain
it. as he is said to fear that if he re
covers the car his son will come
back also. The young man who took
the car recently left West Union by
request of the authorities, and it is
rumored that his attentions to a
married woman and his fear of her
husband supplied the motive for his
transcontihentaI journey, while the
other fellows lust went along" A
souvenir of the trip came to Mr..
Novak in the shape of a hotel bill
for SIS from a Waterloo hostelry. The
other young men, all around twenty
years of age are Carter, Kruger,
and Topper. The car is owned by
James Carter of Winneshiek county,

LET FARMrR OWN GAVE.
Should Own the wild Game That
Lives on His Farm.

One of the strongest movements
in progress in this country today is
to make the farmer the owner of tho
game on his farm, not the state. AS
III is at present in most of the United
States, the farmer can post his farm
against hunters, which is perfectly
proper and which nobody wants to
change. But as to the game itself,
the state claims ownership laws over
bird and beast and passes laws
against even the farmer killing them
n his own land.
All of which is doing the game no
good. The farmer has no interest
in the wild things. The alleged pro-
lection laws are not increasing the
game. 90. 80. ,n.r
On the other hand, if the farmer
owned the game on his farm-mal-
lard duck, teal, goose, pheasant,
quail and, the like-and could kill
them for his table and to sell as
food. he would make pretty sure
that they were protected. He would
exterminate their vermin enemies,
keep off game butchers, and more
important than all, he would provide
his game with food and shelter on
the few desperate occasions in the
winter when they die in enormous
Numbers from starvation.
The farmer would soon find that
his ownership of the increasing game
on his land meant not only a better
table for himself but money in his
pocket. He or his boys would begin
to breed game in large numbers to
sell to the townspeople.
Briefly, this whole movement is
intended to restock this country with
same birds. There seems to be nc
doubt that the farmers ownership
and self-interest care of such birds
would increase their numbers might.

Council Bluffs.-The only white
robin ever seen in this section and
one of the greatest rarities in bird
dom, was killed by Charles F. Per-
kins, taxidermist of Omaha, and
deputy Boy Scout commissioner
against whom it is said prosecution
will be started at once under both
state and federal laws.
The albino robin, with pink eyes
had been admired by hundreds oil
people as it fraternized with Other
robins and exhibited the usual
chumminess characteristic of the
robins; hundreds of which are as
tame as chickens. Perkins admits he
shot the bird. Chief state game war

secured the bird after Perkins had
mounted it and it is now on display

We came across the following quota

Milk and other dairy products
ruust be advertised.
1t requires a substantial invest
ment in land, buildings, stock and
equipment to produce clean milk.
1t takes highpriced help and expen-
sive feeds to maintain the milk flow
and it, requires an investment to
make milk into cheese, butter. and
ice cream.

Milk advances one cent or two

wonderful story of the food value o.
milk.

Money Easier in Iowa.

The credit strain in the state Of
Iowa and in the middlewest is slowly
but surely being relieved. The re-
port on business conditions in the
seventh federal reserve district
shows in the statement Just issued.
Two factors are operating in this
section of the, country to relieve the
strain. one being the policy of dis
elimination by bankers against
speculative and non-essentiai bor-
rowing, which seems to be bringing
results slowly and the other factor
is the reduction in the volume Of
commodities offered for shipment.
The restriction of loans and the
IL ability to obtain raw materials are
causing the reduction OF stocks Of
merchandise. The temporary curtail-
ment in production is somewhat re-
fected in this chiefly through the
elimination OF overtime operations.
The result is noticeable improve
ntnt. in the transportation situation.
The effect of the policy of progress
sive advance in the official discount
rate and the repression of various
! forms of infational borrowing has
put considerable check on the pro-
cess.
There is every indication of a
great shortage OF beef cattle and
there is now some shortage in the
supply of breeding cattle, the report
states. Feeders have lost heavily
during the past year because OF the
high prices OF corn. scarcity Of silagt
and inadequate transportation and
the decline in beef.

wINDsoR's GROWTH.

While the census figures for the town
of Windsor show a fine rate in increase
over the population of 1910, the re-
turns are somewhat disappointing as
counteracting influence TO the decline
OF population in other places OF the
state. 1t had been expected that the de-
velopment of the machine shops and the
growth incident to that development
would cause Windsor to take position
among the larger towns of the state
and serve to make up for the anticipat'
ed loss of population elsewhere. But
the total increase of the town, includ.
ing the village. was less than the com
bined loss officially reported to have
been sustained in Barre and Montpel-
Ter. That means that the further de
cline in the rural sections, and per-
haps in a few Of the large towns, can
not be met by a gain in one Of the two
towns of the second district which were
expected to do so. Springfield is still
left as a final hope OF intervening to
prevent an actual decline in the sec
ond district over the census OF 1910

Thought the agency of the United
States public health service, The Times
begins to-day series of articles on the
care of babies. The articles will be
printed at regular intervals, probably
three times week; and it would be
advisable for readers to clip out the
articles, after reading them, in order
to keep the entire series for reference
These articles are intended to prevent
the annual loss of nearly quarter OF
n million babies in the United States
each year, a number which can be
greatly reduced through proper atten'
ton to the child and to the mother.
The first, or explanatory number OF
the series will be found on another col
umn of to-day's paper. The Times
trusts that the articles will be read,
not only by women and girls, but by
men and boys as well. The informa-
tion contained therein is valuable and
cannot harm anyone.

FAIR COMMITTEE REPORTS.

Report of chairman of building
and grounds committee to the presi-
detn and board of directors OF the
st. Tammany Parish Fair Associa-
ton:
At meeting of the Fair Associa-
tion it was decided to clear and i'm
prove the additional ground bought,
to put it in condition for an aviation
field and to enlarge the quarter mile
track to a half mile track, also to
provide a building for the colored
people and make such alterations
and additions to present buildings to
accommodate the fair to be held on
October 21. %, % and "a. The
president Of the Fair Association was
authorized to borrow the necessary
money to carry on this work.
The work was started about the
middle of August and it was found
that about 400 stumps had to be re-
moved and the holes filled, which
proved to be big undertaking, as it
required an average of about three
double loads Of mud to fill each hole.
The weather continued bad and the
work had to proceed in the rain, as
there was no time to lose.
About 5000 feet of ditching had to
be done to drain the land, which was
a mere bog. After filling the stump
holes, the filing had to be packed
to make solid field. The entire
field was rolled.
All the stump wood and tree tops
were cut up and sold to help pay
for the cost Of clearing
It was found impossible to get
the half mile track in shape for the
approaching fair and it was decided
to put the old track in shape for the
fair and to build the half mile track
right after the fair, SO as to have
plenty OF time to pack before the fair
next year. The ground is in excel
lent shape to put in the track and
can be done at little cost, with the
