age of seventy-three, told this story
in Chicago the other day to a group
of young student journalists.

Kids Finds $1,000 in Gold in Shed

Forest City, Iowa,-Gold in paying
quantities has been discovered in
Winnebago county and while it may
not create the excitement that some
discoveries of gold have made, yet it
proves that gold may be found in
many places least suspected.
While playing in an old shed on
the old Z. F. Branstad homestead,
a mile east of Leland, some children
found box containing about $500 in
gold. The farm is now occupied by r.
w. Branstad, and after the find a
further search was made with the re-
suit that another $500 was found,
making total of S1024.O0 all in gold
1t is believed to be the hidden
treasure of Erick Davidson, who
made his home with the Branstad's
before his death, but at this time
there is no certainty as to the own
ership of the gold, and it is not like
" that it will ever be known for
sure. The money was packed in two
boxes and appeared to have been
placed there long time ago.

made by the Iowa farmers who
formed the group.
Saneness and consverativeness was
Characteristic of the entire meeting.
President Hunt, secretary Cunning
ham and president Howard of the
American Federation gave some won
derful addresses and the need of the
continued support and development
of the U. S. Grain Growers Inc, the
livestock Marketing project, and the
establishment of financial system
peculiar to the needs of agriculture
were outlined. 1t was shown that
the Iowa Farm Credits Corp, which
has been attacked by few of the
big city banks, which reap their
profits by their loans to the country
banks, and by the Iowa Homestead
Will supply the necessary finances to
make cooperative marketing possible
and 1t was urged that farmers sup
port the corporation to the end that
the necessary capital may subscribed
at the earliest possible date.
The committee on resolutions re-
port was somewhat lengthy, as they
covered practically every field Of
activity which the farmers of Iowa
have been engaged in, covering mar
keting, finance, taxation, tariff,
transportation and legislation.
The program of corn acreage re-
duction in Iowa received considerable
comment, it being the sentiment of
most of the delegates that a wrong
impression would be created if they
went on record in favor of a certain
per cent of reduction. A resolution
was finally passed asking that in
formation in regard to the exact sit
uation in regard to the surplus of
corn on hand and the usual consump-
ton be given out and that each farm
er should judge for himself what
would be the policy in regard to the
corn acreage. The fact that the av-
erage acre of land in Iowa receive
clover only once in twenty-five years
emphasized the need of getting our
corn acreage back to normal and
increasing our acreage of clover in
order that the fertility of our soils
might be maintained.
The convention closed and the ex-
preston was made from all sides that
1t had been a decided success.

eau has passed the experimental
stage and has adopted a constructive
program of work which has excited
the envy of leaders of some smaller
farm organizations and the open at
tacks of big business. This is only
what could naturally be expected
from the many who have been reap
ing large profits from handling farm
products and in financing the farmer.
The work of the u. S. Grain
Growers, the Livestock Marketing
Committee the Iowa Farm Credits
Corp, and the fight made for the
reduction of freight rates land a
more just basis Of taxation for the
railroads are primarily the cause of
these attacks so that the attacks
of the grain dealers, the packers,
and commission men, few of the
large correspondent banks, the trust
companies, and the railroads in the
east was not unexpected.
The thing that caused the rifle of
excitement which prevailed the minds
of all who attended the convention
was the fact that the Iowa Home
stead has recently thrown their eff
forts with those of the parties jus.
mentioned. In the Iowa homestead
big business has found capable ally
as it has large circulation in Iowa
and is the only paper read by many
Iowa farmers, and the attacks made
by the Homestead possibly has
more far reaching effect than any
others. 1t seems to be the purpose
of Mr.. Pierce to breed suspicion and
distrust in the ranks of the farmers
themselves, and big business as we'll
as all of the rest of us know that
that is the thing that has always
prevented farmers from getting to-
gether in real constructive organ
ization.

soldiers Pledge to Decline Bonus
Unless in Need

Dubuque, Iowa-Pledges to refuse
a cash bonus, unless in absolute need,
are being circulated by a committee
OF Veterans of Foreign Wars, accord
ing to M. E. Ward, member of the
council of administration of Iowa,
and a member of the 10000 COM

The pledge states that the signer
will not take the cash bonus if Of
fered, unless in dire need, but will
take some other form of compensa-

Ward, it is likely that a bonus bill
would be passed were some assurance
given that all veterans would not

HORSES STILL POPULAR
Association Told Animals Cheaper
Than Motor Vehicles.

Data compiled by the Horse As
ISOLATION of America indicates that
there are more than 100000
horses and mules in the United
States, 100000 of which are on
farms and more than 100000 in
cities, according to the annual re-
pert of Wayne Dinsmore, secretary
of the association, made here before
the annual meeting of the association
recently.
In speaking of the value of horses
and mules as compared with auto
mobile trucks, Mr.. Dinsmore said:
AS a result of studies, other sur
veys made, and definite statements
with cost figures furnished to us by
firms who own and use 51,927 head
of horses, we are now in a position
to say positively that on hauls with
in a horses working radius, i. e., the
distance team can travel in day,
horses furnish more economical SER
vice than motorized equipment.
"On local delivery work, from
store to store or house to house, the
evidence is Overwhelmingly for horse
drawn equipment, ice companies,
groceries, bakeries, milk companies,
and all others whose business in
wolves frequent stops and delivery
work, agree emphatically with the
great packing companies whose ver-
dict is, "On all hauls under twenty
miles per day, the horse is most
economical"

Tendency toward class legislation

extent.
Politicians are often inundated
and driven by the threat of numbers
and the voice of the rabble to enact
class legislation to the subversion Of

Such legislation is a direct blow at
the foundations of this government.
Every such law is an attack on the
fundamental doctrines of the con-

Joy was short lived, when events
showed plainly that ultra and selfish
motives had been at work.
No one here doubts the splendid
nobility of Mrs. FELTON,. She is a
fine, high-minded, noble spirited and
patriotic woman. Her husband was
for years a congressman from Georgia
and she was his helper-in his cam
paigns and at home.
Governor a Candidate
The motive in naming her vas not
long in becoming apparent. 1mme-
diately after making a great fuss
over naming Mrs. FELTON,, Governor
Hardwich offered himself as a can
didate to fill the Watson seat. The
Senate is adjourned until after the
November election when Georgia will
elect by law a senator to fill out the
unexpired Watson term. So there is
no way Mrs. FELTON, could be sworn
in unless the Senate come to her.
There is no way she could even one
occupy a senatorial seat-as there
will be no session until a new senator
has been elected by law.
Gov. Hardwich's naming of Mrs.
FELTON, was not an appointment to
serve. He merely named her as a
legal filler of an appointment, not
ever as a sworn in officer.
Women Criticize Hardwich
The criticism which has come from
the woman voters of the United
States has caused Gov. Hardwich to
state that he will have Federal au-
thorities here administer the oath.
But would the honor go to n who
is sworn in as a pure stunt hundreds

Governor Hardwich may be elected
to don the toga of the late Senator
Watson. He may go to Washington
ahead of Mrs. FELTON, as he planned,
but his effort to make a "dayless"
senator the First Woman is asking
a great deal of future historians.

Inc foregoing statements need siuci-
dation. Also, bit Of history will
help clarity the meaning. For the last
four years, or ever since Knute Rockne,
one Of the greatest football drill
masters, took charge of affairs at the
South Bend institution, Notre Dame
has annually visited the Plains with
an attack that apparently was in
something about tho forward pass
both as ground gamer and as an ef-
fective weapon for threatening.
But the Army coaches had applied
themselves diligently to tho task of
devising a defense that would stop the
Westerners and proceeded to demon
strate on Saturday, before the largest
crowd that ever saw game at the
Point, an effective means of stopping
Rockne's aerial attack.
We do not mean to imply the visitors
were completely checked. AS n matter
Of fact, when they finally swung into
action and swept down the field the
cadets were powerless to stop them,
and but for an unfortunate break
Notre Dame would certainly have
scored.
However, that march was the result
more of q remarkable series of be-
wildering rushes than Of passes, and
up t6 that time the soldiers had de-
sended beautifully against the pass.
In doing so the cadets openly mani
tested enjoyment, for at last, appar-
entity, they had found o way of stop
ping that dreaded forward passing
ganie of Rockne's.
Consequently the West Pointers will
travel to Philadelphia next week with
the knowledge that they have stopped
one Of the hardest, attacking teams in
football. After that game the Navy
offense, which is composed mostly OF
hard running game, ought TO look
simple. For the sailors are not going
far with that kind of attack against
that powerful Array line.
Neyerth cless, the Army offcnse will
have to be bolstcrcd considerably If
touchdowns are to be obtained. There
is variety enough to the attack, but
the scoring punch is lacking. Ihe
ofTense is sEasmodic just at present.
There ought to be more drive inside
the Coward zone, something like the
ofFensc Notre Dame put on in its match
to the Army line in the final period.
III the coaches are able TO polish tae
teams pIay with good scoring punch
or play the Army will probably go
through the season undefeated.

ofyenye was somewhat sluggish and out
