SOME MODERN MIRACLES.

Last Sunday The Chicago EXamin-
Ter gave front page space and many
other papers carried items of he-
.markable recoveries by Chiropractic
methods, of what was considered by
specialists to be incurable.
The Examiner states that the
world is amazed and that a new
healing art has been discovered that
works miracles, and The Examiner
will run newt Sunday more on the
subject.
As we understand it Chiropractors
don't claim to be miracle workers,
but their method is SO radically diff
ferent from others and in many cases
the results so immediate, to those
not understanding, it appears miracu,
lous. "
In fact the peculiar application OF
lit has caused it to be ridiculed by
scientific men up to the present and
such opposition and sentiment has
held back its advancement; however
it appears that a good thing cannot
be killed and its growth in the past
five years is wonderful.
Iowa is the birthplace of Chiro-
practic, and like the prophet, many
times has been without honor at
home. Sixteen other states have Civ
EN- this science recognition before
Iowa, but the present legislature has
passed bill, legalizing this prac-
tice. Senator Price, of Abba, who is
called the Lloyd George of the SEN
ate, strenuously opposed" this bill a
few years ago, but introduced it in
the senate, and it's passage was due
largely to his fight for it this session,
showing the change Of Sentiment,
when people learn of its merit and
side-track prejudice.
There is a Chiropractor in every
town in Iowa of any size and they
are almost to a man patronized and
doing health building work and in
almost every office there has occur
red as remarkable cures as The Elk
.aminer makes so much over. The
greatest difficulty is, they get so few
acute cases which would yield with
a few adjustments; in fact most all
patients are old chronics and too
often will not continue the work long
enough for results TO obtain. The
Chiropractors lost practically no cas-
es during the flu, fact which set
them ahead many years in progress

Held on Serious Charge.

A young man by the name of Bert
Newcomer is confined in the county
Jail on charge of raising a check,
Newcomer was employed last fall by
John Gaul, living northeast of Cres-
co. Mr.. Gaul gave Newcomer a check
for $40 on December 10, 1920
When the check was returned to Mr.,
Gaul after passing through the bank
it was found TO have been raised to
$4,000. Newcomer was hunted down
by the sheriff and found on farm
near DEBORAH. He was brought to
Cresco and bound over to the grand
jury which convenes next week. He
maintains his innocence.-Cresco

LUMBER INDUSTRY WAKING UP
Lumber Still Cheapest of All Build
ing Major Materials.

Americas great lumber industry
is waking up. Until few years ago
there was so much lumber that the
people who deal in that commodity
thought there. was little use in talk
ing to the public about 1.-THE pub
lie knew about lumber pretty nearly
as much as it knew about bread.
But scarcity of timber and increas-
ed prices have changed things and
the whole Observation-Disclosures and
retailers have launched a campaign
we understand, to, tell folks about
lumber in their own language, that,
is, in newspaper advertising.
The people have heard so much
about the high cost of building that
most people have blamed lumber.
The editor happens to knew, that
lumber is not to blame, and we think
that our citizens will be surprised at
the facts that they are going to read
in this connection as soon as the adj
vertising campaign gets going good.
Lumber is still the cheapest of all
building major materials. 1t is still
the most flexible The average man
can go farther with it in money and
also INTELLECTUALLY. 1t can be made
to look beautiful; it is strong, and
well we all know that it withstands
many a hurricane better than most
solid buildings because it will take
much vibration.
Lumber is one of our greatest in
dustries and we are glad to hear
that it is going to come out of its
shell and converse with the people.

FARMERS INCOME
TAXES.

Will Headington, county president
of the Farm Bureau, has received
the following letter.
To all Farm Bureau Presidents:
County Agents,
and Cooperators,
Following the Investigations made
by the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation
we deem it advisable for you to know
and to inform all farmers who may
be affected, it would Be well for them
to pay income tax figured against
them on land sales because of the
increase in value of same since the
time of acquisition as on overpay-
ment.
In paying your income tax, suppose
you owned land Tor real estate) on
March l 1913, or acquired it since
then, and sold it some time during
the year 1920, and there was an ZAP
parent" profit on account of its sale,
state in your return that you have
eliminated the amount of the profits
so received, stating thes amount
thereof. In other words, pay the en-
tire tax, including that for the zap
parent" land profit, making the state
ment' in the return that that portion
of the tax is am "overpayment."
Then in the event of the court hold
ing that the law as to such profits
is Unconstitutional, that amount of
tax paid may be recovered.
Yours very truly,
Iowa Farm Bureau Federation.

FARM BUREAU GROWTH.
One of the Most Wonderful Pieces OF
Organizing Done Here in Cen
fury.

Probably the most wonderful piece
organization done in this country in
century Except military mobiliza-
tom has @en that of the farm bur
eaus, now welded by states into the
American Farm Bureau Federation.
1t is only a very few years since
we first heard of the beginning of
this now widespread organization
then scattered community farm bur
eaus. But during the past two years
they have been growing by leaps
and bounds until today the American
Farm Bureau Federation is the
greatest single popular force in the
country-anyway in the agricultural
parts of our country.
Our last information was that all
but six states had joined the fedora
ton and that three of the six were
expected to come in Immediately.
In most organizations of Quick
growth Eighty members put Eighty
people in the places of leadership,
with the result that the whole move
ment is soon discredited among sane
people. Not so with the American
Farm Bureau Federation. Its Offices
and managing committees are all
men of solid substance and correct
judgment, and as a result you NAV
look for great things from this force
full body of agriculturalists.
This newspaper is now a franchise
member i'm a national editorial SER
vice which has an expert reporter in
close touch with the farm bureau
federation chiefs, and we expect that
our enterprise in this direction will
keep our readers informed constantly
on the large movements of the farm
bureau federation.

Find Old Rife in Hollow Tree.

Wood-choppers, working in the
timber land owned by Henry n.
Thompson, near Rice Lake, Worth
count, recently felled a massive oak
tree. While cutting the log into cord
wood bolts, the saw encountered hard
and ringing metal. Wedging the log
apart, they found in cavity four
feet from the butt, a handsome rife
of large calibre, quaint design and
crude but perfect workmanship. The
frearm was loaded with a goodly
charge of powder, and four heavy
leaden slugs, and had evidently been
primed ands ready for use when plac-
ed in the tree many years ago. The
percussion cap, however, was corrod-
ed and eaten away with rust. Rem
nants of powder horn with bone
stopper attached to leather thong
were also found, but these crumbled
away when exposed to the air.
