"VAMPS" WHO
 MADE HISTORY By JAMES C. YOUNG.
ENGLAND'S VAMPIRE QUEEN.
2cstaHa a:cacaaeota.aa.a:ats.s.aec:ecaN

n fCTURE to yourself woman al- I most seventy years old, dressed in a profusion of rutf'es and laces, to conceal her somewhat ungainly per son Place this woman in a palace chamber, at night, with a flickering candle in the background. N'w con ceive what her emotions must Sc. She is Elizabeth, queen of England, and has sentenced the earl of Essex, her young lover. to die. A long time ago she gave him a ring saying that no matter what came between them, all would be forgotten when the ring was sent. She is waiting for it in 'he still palace chamber on his last night. The ring does not come, She iS hurt by his pride and stubbornness, ard Essex dies.
 A couple of years pass. The countess of Nottingham, dying, sends for the queen and tells Elizabeth that Essex had given her the ring with instru:- tions that she carry it to the quee:, But the countess husband, and tr.@ enemy of Essex prevented her. 1he countess implores forgiveness.
 Elizabeth, in a fury, shakes the dy- ing woman, saying that God may par don her, but she never can. The queen hurries to her chamber, throws herself on the floor, and remains there ten days, crying out her sorrow She re- sists all efforts to put her to bed and dies on March 24, 1903, of broken heart.
 No stranger woman than Elizabeth, the last of the Tudors, ever sat upon throne. When still a girl she was involved with Lord Seymour, and the earl of Leicester long enjoyed her favor. But Essex was her true love. And love was passion with the wom- an who ruled England fortytive years making a better job of 1t than most of its kings. Under her the Armada met defeat, the power of Spain was seriously injured, and by her diplo- macy a general slaughter of Catholics and ProteStants was avoided. She stood forth as the strongest exponent of Protestanisrn, but treated Catholics with fairness which helped to offset the plans of Rome.
 The light of this great queens life was the noble young earl of Essex. She sent him to Ireland as lord lieutenant and because of his muddling he fell Into disfavor. Then his enemies yelped for his life, like dogs on a scent. They made Elizabeth jealous of his popularity, and finally he per mitted himself to be involved in a foolish conspiracy. So the great queen, almost old enough to have been his grandmother, permitted her young lover to die-and 1t killed her.

CLINTON MAN MAKES
 PROFIT IN TURKEYS

Discussing the vast number of tur- keys shipped from Clinton during the ten-day period preceding Thanks giving Sam Pistole of near town said he sold four for $10.00 and he didn't consider they had been any more ex- pensive to raise, or caused more trouble, than four chickens. He sold no hen turkeys this season, it being his intention to raise quite drove next year.
 Aside from the profit Mir. Pistole expects to derive from the turkeys direct, he has another object in view He expects his turkeys to keep his cotton free of boil weevil This sea- son, he says, he'd iscovered that tur- keys were especially fond of the wee vii and would hunt for them in the cotton. Next spring it is his intention to erect special turkey house in his cotton field where his turkeys will be penned at night.
 By this arrangement he thinks they will range in the cotton and appre ciating their fondness for insects he vii hope to produce good crop of cotton regardless of the weevil. If MT. Pistole's experiment proves sue cessful we may soon expect to see a great impetus given the turkey rais- ing business and a corresponding de- crease in thanksgiving and Christmas prices.-Cllnton Democrat.

WHY COTTON PRICE SHOULD ADVANCE.
7. ....:...-..-....--...............:.':--.~......
(Progressive Farmer)

The monthly bulletin of the United States department of commerce is sued November 16 shows that during i October the United States had 34 ,255,- l 522 spndles at work against 33, ,771 ,998 during October, 1920 The department also reports that during the three months ending November 1, the United States exported to foreign countries ,S2O,S4 bales of cotton against on- ly 958 461 bales exported during the same three months of last year.
 In short, the United States is now exporting almost twice as much cot ton as year ago, and in this country we are also operating more spindles than we did year ago. During the three months ending November l, Ger many took more than twice as much cotton as in the same period last year, and France showed an increase of more than 50 per cent.
 In the face of the present short crop on one hand and the increased demand for cotton on the other hand, there IS absolutely no reason why single pound of cotton should sell below 2O cents, basis middling. It ought to brinp 25 cents. If we had co.opera- tive marketing associations at work m every state in the south so that farm CTS could be financed without dumping their cotton on the market, prices would undoubtedly be much better than they are.
 Secretary Hester of the New Or leans Cotton Exchange reports the ln- crease in the worlds visible supply of all kinds of cotton for November Is this year compared with the same date last year and year before as follows: Increase compared with last year, 533 3.O22 bales, increase compared With year before last, 916,577 bales. These increases compared with the total vol ume of the cotton crop are not lm- pressive.
 It has often happened in the case of previous short crops that the in- crease in price did not make itself felt until most of the crop had passed out of the farmers hands. There is much reason to fear that once again spectators and middlemen are going to get an undue share of the profits.

10 MAKE OIL TEST
 IN VAN 3UREN co.
(Clinton Democrat.) ]

What is being done, if anything. asks someone every few days with ref erence to prospecting for oil in For mosa-Scotland neighborhoods. While Tn possession of no inside information 1t was our privilege a few days since to read a personal letter written by one of the promoters, in which the present lethargic stage was explain ed as being partially due to some difficulties encountered in the way of making a contract with a company that would insure the development of the well in the event oil was found.
 Old line oil companies, it was said, are not disposed to open up new fields. Should such company make the test and and succeed in striking oil the chances would be they would plug the hole and let development await their owne pleasure. Many "wildcatters," ;" it was also said would pursue tactics should oil be found not in the inter- est of the real lease or the property owners. However, the assurance was given that a contract would be con- cluded and a test well sunk ere the May blossoms appear next spring.
 The above letter was also accom- panied by duplicate of the final re- port by a geologist in charge of the promotion work and his final summary of the conditions found were decidedly favorable for the discovery of oil or gas in the territory specified.

IN MEMORIUM.

From the Winneshiek County Union
of the A. S. of E. Aug. 1, 1921.
1t has been our lot this day to fol-
low to its last resting place the re-
mains of an esteemed comrade.
A few months ago Geo. Axtell
came into this community as state
organizer for the state union of the
A. S. of E., to work for the cause
of cooperation among farmers, and
10 say that he worked hard is putting
it lightly. This man worked with a
zeal and earnestness that we shall
not find equalled for many day.
Some years ago this county of ours
engaged in a war with Spain; most
of us have all but forgotten that it
ever was fought, but not so with Mr..
Axtell, he had a very steady re-
minder of the fray, as the sight of
one of his eyes was destroyed at that
time.
He did not boast of himself as a
veteran, but in this, as in his later
life, he gave of his strength till
it hurt.
His work took him out constantly
from one part OF the state TO the
other, conducting meetings almost
every night and travelling, mostly by
car over roads not always the best,
and in all kinds of weather and it
would seem that it was on one of
these trips that he contracted the
disease which so soon ended his life.
He was a stranger to us, as his
family are strangers within our
midst, but we extend to them our
most sincere sympathy and APP
probation of what this man work
ed till his last day to accomplish.
May his memory be an inspiration
for good in the lives of those of us
who today so sorrowfully have bid
this comrade last farewell.

and during an interview with him we
were glad to find tnat Mr.. Bear was
looking to the future with extreme
optimism. and naturally brings that
view with him from New York, and
from his talk il appears that they are
full OF business and looking for big
improvement in all lines OF manu-
facture as we'll as wholesale and retail
business. In his particular line Mr..
Bear tells us that he feels especially
happy over his work, as he was able
10 buy great many goods, especially
suits, overcoats and furnishings at
pretty close TO prewar prices. Our
reporter looked over many OF the new
goods on the shelves and among them
be found fine all wool mems and
young mems new model suits selling
at Sl6.50 and $500, which appeared
10 the writer as splendid goods foI
the price, and harked back TO the old
days. and in fact prices on various
goods throughout the big store looked
like the former low prices as whole
With the immense big stock now in
selling al such reasonable prices the
Ben Bear Co. store should enjoy q
tremendous business this fall.
