FARM UPRISING

Soldiers Called.

Upton. Ia, Sept. %. The
rumble of marching men and the
clatter of galloping horses heralded
the arrival today of 1900 national
guardsmen as Cedar county went
under martial law in Iowa's battle
to enforce its compulsory bovine
tuberculosis testing law.
Mobilzed from a score of cities,
the troops arrived on special trains
to quell a farmer revolt that has
simmered for months in the courts
and broken into open violence on
several occasions.
Monday afternoon the outbreak
occurred that led to the militia call
Sheriffs and deputies from eastern
Iowa counties went to the farm of
Joe Lenker near Willow Junction.
There were sixty-flve officers, well
armed and instructed to protect
state veterinarians as they carried
out the tests on Lenker's cattle.
AT the Lenker farm they found a
crowd of 400 angry farmers await
ing them. Some carried pitchforkS,
others clubs. All were determined
to prevent the testing.
The deputies hurled tear gas
bombs, but the attack seemed only
to aggravate the seething farmers.
They staged a mad rush. Automo-
bile tires were punctured with the
pitchforks, car windows were
smashed with the clubs, and the
deputies themselves were made the
targets for mud the farmers were
hinging on all sides.
The deputies had orders not tc
open fire and they retreated with
out testing Lenker's cattle.
But the affair aroused Governor

BERLIN. Sept. 22.-In all Ger
many today there is only one most
popular man.; only one who is so
loved by the masses that no other
can approach his hold on them.
Paul Won Beneckendorf und Won
Hindenburg, president of the Ger
man republic and former field mar
shall in the imperial armies, a weary
old man of 83, probably longs for
the day when he can retire, yet is
kept going by his one passion-the
burning desire to save the Father
land at all sacrifice.
One has to see the president at
close range IN order to realize just
how his age is beginning to tell;
and to realize the determination to
carry on despite the shortcomings
of the body.
At the launching of the armored
cruiser Deutschland at Keil in May
he had strenuous day.
Strain Plainly Visible
First. the launching ceremonies,
then a round of inspections fol-
lowed by a fleet review the next
day.
When the president reached the
station and walked slowly to his
private car, the strain of what would
have been a rather light day for
q younger man was plainly visible.
Slowly, almost shutting, but still
erect, he walked the entire length
of the platform, while lines of school
children sang the chorus, "Deutsch-
land, Deutschland, Ueber Alles!"
The president raised his hand in
slow salute as they interrupted to
shout "Hoch"
Still Keeps Schedule
Although his great age is be-
ginning to tell, Hindenburg still
maintains his rigorous days
schedule. He rises at 6. In the
summer he goes for a walk in the
palace gardens, accompanied by his
shepherd dog, Rolf.
Hindenburg's passion for hunting
is the one thing which he indulges.
He is an excellent shot. Late in
the summer he brought down a 81
point buck on his grounds at Short
heide.
In August he goes to his favorite
spot, Dietramszell, shut off in the
mountains of Bavaria, where he
loves to hunt mountain goats.
No picture of Hindenburg would
be complete without mention of his
fondness for children-especia his
son, Oskar's, the two daughters and
small son, Gertrude, g., Helga, 7, and
Hubertus, 3, who live at the palace.
Only One Hindenburg
He has ten grandchildren in all,
and one great grandchild, the
grandson of his daughter, Frau Won
Brockhusen. He has one other
daughter, wife of Major Won Pentz
The families often visit in Berlin.
Germany's first lady is Frau
Oskar Won Hindenburg, who plans
the official receptions and dinners.
After Hindenburg, what? The
question is almost impossible to
answer now, for there is only one
Hindenburg-only one man in
whom opposition and conservatives
alike APPARENTLY have such un-
bounded faith.
A law extending his term of office
has been proposed, but if he can
not be persuaded to run, or if his
death should occur, the cause of Re-
publican Germany will have lost
one of its staunchest bulwarks.

TzUo Spud Crops
81
Only One Farm

Here's a little story of what can
be done in this region. The story
is not to point out any great fin
ancial coup, but to indicate the
possibilities of agriculture in this
section. As a matter Of fact, if the
money end is considered, it will
be splendid example of what not
to do. But it isn't.
Jos. Shula, who owns q ranch
down the valley, and is considered
one Of the districts best farmers,
set out an acre of spuds la t
spring. About the middle of July
he harvested six tons of Irish Cob
blers-fine ones. The next day he
planted half the field to Melted
Gems and from half the patch got
three tons of wonderful spuds. In
other words he got IL tons per
acre this past summer. With even
q small margin over cost. the
showing would have been excellent.
But the other side Of the story
is this: He paid $56.25 for the first
seed. He cultivated five times, ir-
rigated five times, and hoed the
patch twice. After harvesting the
spuds he sold the entire lot for
$47.6O. Besides he paid $3.50 for
water and taxes, spent at least
six days labor-with net loss of
about ten bucks per acre in cash,
labor wasted.
However, the Gems made bet
ter showing. With yield OF about
the same, the seed cost Sc, three
times cultivated and irrigated and
hoed. The crop sold for $36-or at
the rate Of $72 per acre. Two crops
of spuds on the same land-not so
bad.
