TWO CoUNCILMEN RESIGN
Members Of the Council Bluffs City
Council Charged with Soliciting
Commissions for Own Benefit

The cases of l.. Lee Evans, alder
| man of the Third, and Charles d.
Campbell, alderman of the Fifth
ward, of Council Bluffs, who were
indicted by the Pottawattamie coun-
ty grand jury last week on charges
of conspiracy, were brought to a
sudden end Friday afternoon when
the two defendants, represented by
their attorneys, appeared before
Judge ]. B. Rockafellow in the dis
trict court and resigned their Of
fices under fire, thus heading off
the proceeding to peremptorily GUST
them, which had been set for June
27th.
This action of the accused alder
men was decided upon this week aft
er conferences with County Attor-
ney Swanson, when they agreed to
resign in order to stop the custer
proceedings against them. 1t was
also decided by agreement between
the officers and defendants, and
with the consent of the attorney
general OF the state, that the indict-
ments against Evans and Campbell
be quashed, which means that fol-
lowing the designations there will be
no further legal action against the
men.
The two councilmen were indicted
by the grand jury on June 8, the
charges against them being the re-
suit of an investigation begun by the
state on January IL, but were based
on incidents alleged to have taken
place as early as last summer.
Special charges against Evans and
Campbell were that they solicited a
reward in excess of $500 from the
Council Bluffs Auto company and
the Western Motor company in con-
nection with the purchase of a
street flusher. According to the in
dictment the men were accused of
offering to accept a bid from either
concern in consideration of the So
licited reward, at meeting Of the
city council on May 3, 1920.
The grand jury, sitting for several
days, heard number of witnesses
who gave information concerning
the alleged bribery transaction Of
the accused councilmen. While it
was not brought out that they had
actually accepted cash for the ben
eft of any concern to be favored in
selling to the city, the jury held that
there was enough evidence of con-
spiracy to cause the men TO be held
for the compounding of felony,
and the consequent custer action
which followed.

ROCKEFELLER AND THE BUF-
FALO NICKELS

John d. Rockefeller recently visit
ed the scenes of his boyhood days
and as a result of his conversation
with the children in the village dis
tributed among them number OF
bright, new buffalo nickels along
with some sound advice.
To a great many people this action
will be regarded as manifestation
of shylock propensities on the part
of this aged millionaire. But there
is another side to the proposition.
Rockefeller may have shylock quail
ties. We do not presume to judge
him on this score,
The other phase Of this PROPOSE
ton is the practical side of it, Hor-
ace Greeley sagely remarked that
"the darkest day of mans life is
that on which he anticipates acquir-
ing dollar without honestly earning
| it." A lot of people in this country
are wasting time hoping or dreaming
that somehow, they will acquire a
fortune. Every practical business
man realizes the folly OF this sort Of
anticipation.
Giving money to children is a mat
ter which should be governed by wise
discretion. The thing that counts
most in life is habits. Unwise CIV
ing may lead to the formation of
unwise habits in spending. 1t is fair
to assume that Old Man Rockefeller
is fairly cognizant of these truisms.
He isn't going to start young people
out on spendthrift careers by unwise
giving.
And there is still another worth
while phase of the incident. If these
children who received these buffalo
nickels from Rockefeller will take
time to analyze the proposition they
will learn that the richest man in
America still has regard for nickels.
He regards them as worth while.
And il is because of his regard for
the small change that he eventually
became wealthy. 1t will be found
as these children delve into this sub
ject that very few people in this
world acquire wealth who do not
attach proper value to nickels.
OF course nickels appear infinites-
finally small compared with Rookie
feller's wealth. And lot of people
will assume without thinking that
it would have been much more APP
propriate il he had distributed one
hundred dollar bills among these ur-
ehins But careful analysis of the
incident will lead great many peo-
pie to the conclusion that he probably
did more good and less harm with
his buffola nickels than he would
have done with 500 or even $1,000
bills.

LIVE STOCK AND FEED

This is the season of the year that
the farmer must study his livestock
and feed supply resources with a
| view to making the live stock fit the
feed supply. II is poor management
to attempt the carrying over winter
of more stock than there is feed to
abundantly supply, estimated on the
basis of a long, cold feeding season.
1t is a good plan to Gull over all
the stock on the farm in the autumn
season and discard those least de-
sirable as feeders or breeders. AS
long as you are going to stay on the
farm and continue in business, con-
slider yourself first in the matter of
advantage in prospective profits. In
other words, make practice of
keeping the choice young animals,
and selling the culls, the least desir-
able. This is the only way to make
rapid or satisfactory progress in the
breeding of live stock on the farm.
The best farm herds and flocks
1
will produce some animals that are
not desirable as breeders. The best
time to sell these is at weaving time
before they have developed their
possibilities or impossibilities. The
really desirable animals are born
with the "earmarks" of heredity
stamped so plainly as to be readily
recognized by the breeder. Thus the
live stock farmer is a pretty good
judge in the culling of his own pro-
ducts on the farm.
1t is a good plan to figure so as
to have a feed surplus when the
green grass season of next spring
has invited the turning out of the
grazing animals. A few hunks of
good quality hay in the two yards
has always proven of great value to
cattle and sheep. This is the season
for storing the rough feed Dam
aged hay in the stack often helps out
at the end of winter. Straw from
tHo thIrohihS VI tue Shidii gram may
be stacked so as to take the place of
hay as feed, occasionally, through
the winter. The corn stalks are best
stored in the silo. 1t is a good plan
to build an extra silo and fill it. Good
corn silage need never be consider
ed loss, even if it is carried over
the winter. 1t is worth its cost TO
feed out in the spring in saving pas
ture. 1t pays to have storage feed
to help ease the cows over dry sea-
sons when the pastures are short.
II never pays to run short of feed on
the farm, winter, spring, summer or
autumn.

Dr. William Jewett Tucker, one.time president
of Dartmouth College preacher, founder Of An
dover House settlement work in Boston, tells OF
the time when he went up into Vermont ana
lived al a farmhouse for a wonderful summer.
Everything about the place Exactly to his
liking with the exception of the lack of the ap-
pearance OF personal cleanliness on the part OF
the cook and the proximity of the dining room
to the pig pen.
So when the next summer came around. after
yisualizng all the possible places for spending a
vacation. his mind wandered back to the Yer
mont farm He took his pen in hand and wrote
the farmer, bargaining for board. and at the
same time stating his two objections to the place.
BY return post came letter from the farmer.
The outstanding message it bore was couched in
the following words:
Hannah has went" said the farmer, and
there aint been hog on the place since you
left
When Mike McNally of the Yankees, per-
formed the unusual feat of stealing home during
, the recent World Series, 1t was an unkind stab
to Hughey Jennings.
You see Mike came from Minooka, right
Scranton and neighbor town of Pittston and
Hughey Jennings is from the same settlement.
The Irish colony of that vicinity is the greatest
breeding place for baseball players in the United
States. Steve O'Neil, catcher for Cleveland orig
mated there, and he has both brothers and uncles
in the game.
Hughey Jennings gave McNay his first big
chance with the Detroit team. He nursed the
player from his home town. but finally
gave him up and sold him to the Yankees.
And Hughey was factotum with the Giants
when the boy from Minooka, playing with the
enemy, stole home In the first game of the big
series 1t was unkind TO Hughey.

We do not care a snap of the
fingers whether the West Virginia
coal miners are wrong or right in
their contention with the coal opera
tors. That has nothing to do with
the real question, which is
"Are we free men within the
law or are we slaves to the
whims and ukases of Federal
judges?"
There is just one way to settle
the pretensions of these hired serv
ants of ours who sit on judicial
benches.
That is to abolish, by statute, the
usurped power to issue injunctions
and to punish for contempt without
trial by jury.
In the meantime this decree of

Humility
BY Angela Morgan
r T'S easy to be humble

IT'S easy to be humble
When you've found your place in life
With everyone atumble
To sound the drum and fife.
It's nice to be forgetful
And TO minimize the load
When you've Travelled to the ending
OF the hot and dusty road.
But pulling up the hillside
All, that's different thing
1t isn't quite simple then
To smile and joke and sing.
1t simply isn't possible
To cry your honors down
And make believe you're nothing
But ordinary clown.
No purchaser would take your wares
IL ne believed il true,
And everyone who really cares
Would say twas up to you
To put the best foot forward
And never to admit
Your trials and deficiencies
But show your common grit.
It's very well TO lie a bit
And talk of humble me"
When everybody knows that IT
Is false as false can be.
So when you say humility
Just spell II with wink.
For the world is full of plutocrats
Less humble than you think.
Oh it's nice to spin the narrative
OF how you once were poor
When finally the grizzly wolf
Has vanished from your door.
But while the wolf is bowling there,
Believe me-never tell
Just spread the news you're feeling fit,
And shout that all is well!
