BOTTOM DROPS FROM |PEARLING INDUSTRY
Australian King" Reports Con- ditiOnS to Investigators

sydney. New South Wales. Sept. 2.- tDclayed) d)-Pearling formerly one of kho principal industries of the South Beas. has fallen upon dead days be- pause Of the unsettled conditions Throughout tho world. James Clark, of
 Brisbane. who is known as the Aus tralian Pearl King" told a royal conn mission Investigating the pearling in- qustry here recently.
 All poarling boats at Thursday Is- land arc laid up and at Broome. West krn Australia only about 100 boats in- 5tead of 100 are working. Clark said. N contributing cause of the diminu-
 ion of activities Ia the failure of Ger
 nany and Russia. to purchase q great Smount of the peari-shell. as they did
 prior to tho war, he said.
 At present there is about 5000
 bounds worth of shell in the London
 market" he said. This cost between Poo and 250 pounds a ton to produce knd it probably could be purchased For about half that price. Another is tho uso by the Japanesc bf trochus shell in manufacturing but Ions Trochus can be produced more khoaply than pearl. Another detri- |nent ia the fact that Americans are Ectting similar results from Ahells pro- tuced by fresh-water mussels in the
 diasissippi and other rivers"
 He suggested that the Australian Government should take control and Sthbiiize tho pearling industry. point Ing out that four-fifths of the worlds tuppiy of premier shell comes from Tho Commonwealth. He expressed bpinion that the government would be Abio to market the shell much more bdvantageously than private interests Clark showed tho royal commission pearl which ho said he believed to be the most valuable of It's kind in the world. It was as large as a pigeons tRg and was valued. he said at 10 .000 bounds. He said it was worthy "of ' place in a monarch's crown" and Recommended that it be added to the brown towels of the British empire.

 According to his story. Stark struck two blows with the black jack before Bachmann attacked him.
 Alex Homonoski saw the con- stable use the blackjack on Bach mann twice. he testified.
 The numerous tilts between Prosecuting Atty. Albert A. Green berg and Lawyer P. F. McDonough kept alive interest in the case. After the prosecutor had asked for a fine and a jail sentence; characterized the actions of the accused as "con- temptible and cowardly," and had finished reciting the evidence in the case, the defense counsel began his argument for a discharge. Prosecu- tor Greenberg interrupted and the defense lawyer took him to task for attempting to misrepresent facts. The prosecutor then charged that Lawyer McDonough was playing to the gallery and the reply of the law yer for Bachmann was:
 "Perhaps am; but nevertheless I'm talking facts and not lot of wind.'

Not One PuniI in This District

LaPorte, Iowa-A school district
without pupils is disclosed in reports
by school officers to H. c. Moeller,
county superintendent of Black
Hawk county.
..Tha school district is No. 4, Big
Creek township, in the southern part
Of the county, and a census shows
that there is not one child of school
age, to p years.
Iowa laws do not permit any out
side power to force this district.
Hence this district is hailed as the
taxpayers paradise, for without the
school levy the tax is comparatively
light.
Z. H. Myer of LaPorte City, sec
retary of the district, reports that
there is no school building, no teach
er, no schoolboard, no tax, no one
of school age. According to the re-
port the school district is an entirely
almost without existence. No one in
the district is deaf or dumb or blind.
There is but one freeholder living on
his land in the district with his wife,
and they have no children. The few
other residents are tenant farmers
without children.

Der in Wool Business.

Ottumwa, lowa-A. Wilkinson of
Adams township is one of Wapello
county's up to date farmers. He en-
joys riding in his auto and having
his hair shaved on the neck.
He dropped into one of OF
tumwa's barber shops the other
day and inquired the price of hair
cut and shave. When. the gentle
manly barber gave him the informa-
tion wanted, he exploded. at takes
five bushels of oats or the price of
a sheep to pay the BILL" he said.
The tonsorial artist declared he
would be willing to accept the
sheep.
"lts a bargain" said the farmer.
Mr.. Wilkinson went back to the
farm and came in again today,
bringing the sheep and delivering it
to the shop, took his seat in the
chair, asked for the hair cut and
shave, remarking, "Sheep are more
plentiful in Wapello county than
money"
The barber expects to have quite
heavy trade in sheep with the
farmers, before next spring, if his
razors and soap hold out.

AUCTION SALE HovEY FARM
Big Crowd Attended Sale Peter
Hovey Farm Six Miles
East Cresco.

The sales of livestock and farm
machinery by auction even when the
total amount runs up in the thous-
ands are so common as to attract
only passing interest, but when a
farm of 35S acres is announced 70
be sold to the highest bidder the
populace sets up and takes notice.
Several hundred people were attract
ed to Peter Hovey farm six miles
east of Cresco last Thursday after
noon to see how the job is done. The
bidding at times was spirited, the
bidders and the crowd generally be-
ing kept in happy mood by the
witticisims of the auctioneer one
Col. Broekelman who was brought
from Sioux City to cry the sale.
Rev. H. Nj. Normann opened the
proceedings with good practical
talk on the nobility of the farming
industry and the big part it plays
in insuring general prosperity. He
showed his faith by bidding in the
first tract offered of five and a frac-
tion acres for 5000 on acre. This
TACT joins the Orle ans Lutheran
church property on the north, and it
is understood that Rev. Normann
was bidding for the church.
Other tracts were sold as follows:
C. L. Terry, 1866 acres at $4,000.
Andrew t. Benson, 73 acres at
SIP.
Arthur Anderson and J. d. And
erson, 140, acres at $1,000.
Arthur Anderson and j. D. Ander-
son, 60 acres at $3.50.
Average for the 35S acres, S99.25.
The entire tract is practically un-
improved land as there is only a
