Mash died at his home, five miles northwest of Dee Moines, Friday morning, October 13, 1911, at 8:30 a. m. He was born in Orange County, North Carolina, in 1834. He came west when five years of age and settled in Ray County, Missouri. He resided there until 1853 when he came to Iowa, having lived most of the time in Four Mile and Fork. Fourteen years ago he moved his family to Des Moines, where he has lived ever since. He had accumulated some valuable property by his frugality. He was loved by all who know him. The deceased leaves a wife, Mrs. Marion C. William H. Robert D., Hastie and Tathahima M. Mesdames Susie Hodges, Nellie Hubbard and Marie Leighton. The funeral was held Sunday from the home at 2:30 p. m., and the remains laid to rest in the MeDivt cemetery. The services were conducted by B. J. Taylor.

A new town for us, as we did not have a single subscriber there, but in the two hours stay we secured several. Among the leading colored citizens here are John Thomas, B. H. Dixon, who runs a restaurant. Ode Pearson, James Jones, Harriet McKinnon, who runs a hotel. We next arrived in Mexico, Mo. in the rain. Here live about 1,000 colored people and about 4,000 people all told. They have three churches, the Baptist, A. M. E. and M. E. All seem to be doing well. It is here that Thomas Bass, the greatest educated horse trainer in America, has been the end of the city and has about forty head of educated and saddle horses. He has thousands of dollars worth of gold medals and silver cuts that he has won in horse shows. He always comes to the Iowa state fair with from 10 to 20 head of horses. Tom Leonard is doing well.

E Bondine is doing well. Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Davis are doing well. Mr. White is still in the barber business. There is one barber we cannot just now recall. Rev. W. W. McKaney is still here. He is still calling sinners from the wayward path to a better land. Mrs. Hayes is still running a first class millinery store. We next took refuge in Paris, Mo. a new town; for the Bylander representative had never stopped here. We were there while we had no subscribers here, yet nearly everybody had read or seen a copy of the Bystander, and within the short space of five hours we secured fourteen new subscribers and from now on Paris, Mo. (and not Paris, France), will know some of the good things that our race is doing for us. We know that things that the race is doing, as the white newspapers publish that under display head lines in heavy type, but the good they seldom mention. Among We next stopped in Kirkaville, Mo. Here we found Mr. and Mrs. Coursey well and doing well on social. They own nice property. Mrs. Laura Hock- aday owns nice property and is doing nicely. They are well known in Des Molines. Mr. James Payton is still working in the torsional parlor. The school is doing nicely; two teachers. The churches are doing fairly well. Digestion and Assimilation.

Church, who is an evangelistic weeding for two weeks and with marked success, reached the climax of these meetings on Sunday. This day was set apart all over the country for the beginning of a series of meetings in all churches, for the evangelization of the men and boys. The African M. E church of the evangelization has a responsibility of assisting in this great joyous religion forward movement. So on Sunday we were fortunate in securing the services of the Hon. Mr. Mc. J. Randall and the Hon. Mr. L. M. Kratz to speak in their own way concerning this great work. Both of these gentlemen are a part of the work of the Rev. C. Ellas Rapids. They spoke along the same line in regard to what will make this movement a success. The Christian world is realizing now as never before, the necessity of the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man that God knows no color or crest, but recognizes the individual worth to man. We must be aware of the poor become more united and acknowledge that God is the father of us all. The day proved to be one of inspiration, all three of the services were largely attended with an overflow at night. The spiritual optimism of the day seemed to have been contagious. Everybody seemed to be inoculated with the joyous Pastor Hackley is imbibing the ple with new life by his thorough going, up to the minute plan of work. The interspersion of some of the rare old time melodies, led by Evangelist Winston, as well as the fine form in which the Bethel choir was led, was greatly enjoyed by all, especially our visitors. Our meetings continue night and afternoon of this week. We had with us during the day the Rev. I. N.

Fert eae CELEBRATING BY ISABEL GORDON CURTIS HALLOWEEN HIRT-Y-ONE children to be entertained—a guest for each of Octo-been's golden days—and Halloween'en to be celebrated! There are easier things to do. Such "stunts" as mirror-gazing at the silvery hour of midnight, as following a thread through a dark carkell, or pulling kaleestocks; none of them could be called child's play. What thing had to be planned that was different, something entertaining and "Hallowen'en." The invitations, which were sent out a week in advance, read as follows: "Won't you come to my Halloween'en party, from six to nine, October 31? Please wear play clothes." "SYLVIA HALL." In the corner of each card was a tiny water-color sketch—a witch riding a broom, a blinking owl, or a bred wined bat. Every response was an acceptance, and straightway preparations for the party began. From a farm house we drove home one day with a load of cornetalks, pumpkins, and carrots. Everybody in the house who could use a jack-knife was pressed into service. Big pine and little pine. Big into lanterns, with faces upon which black or white paint had sketched queer eyebrows or fierce mustaches. They were distributed about the house; tucked among russet oak leaves and green pine boughs on each mantel, set lantern fashion on a newel post in the hall, or hung here and there from overhead grille. Orange drapes at a safe distance from the fire, and the house was lit dimly by pumpkin-heads or candles set in hollowed carrots. The dining table was set with a group of carrot candies and bowls of apples, nuts, grapes and candy. Upon a fat pumpkin was perched a Halloween witch, holding a handful of raffa, which came from the mouth of a grab-bag. In her black gown, peaked hat, and flying red cloak, with a veritable broomstick in her hand, she was the star of indoors. On the lawn, ready to offer a welcome to every guest who arrived, was a greater star, a life-site witch, with a pair of wrinkling red eyes which were a darker hue. Her framework was a rough wooden cross with one end hewn to a sharp stake which was driven into the ground. Pillows were tied about her tath-like form for shapelliness, while her garb was a nightgown. The pumpkin head was of noble proportions, the hair was a bunch of black raffa, and over it perched a lordly hat with a peak nearly a yard high, wide brim, and a crisp scarf of orange colored paper tied in a magnificent bolt on a side. The head was nailed securely to the frame, and inside the candles faded mildly, the witch's garb wired with asbestos. That she made a hit would be praising her mildly; if her feet had not been securely planted in the earth she might have been tempted the curlyness from the attention she received When 15 small girls flied downstairs, led by their young hostess, they were blindfolded one by one and each played a game of blindman's buff with the boys in the hall, the one who was captured being her partner for supper. It shattered in an instant the girl who has always been to be broken at a children's playground, blindmindable buff began to shriek with laughter, which grew to genuine hilarity when the sixteenth girl chased the sixteenth boy into a corner. There was a burry rush for the dining-room and parlor, where eight small tables were set, four children being seated at each. The supper was a one, consisting of tongue and chicken pieces, with stuffed titos, baked potatoes, cream, gingerbread men, chocolate nuts and grapes. When the, evening's fun began, a jolly young aunt was appointed referee and a recorder in the various games. The first part of the program was held in the kitchen while tables were being cleared and dishes carried to the butler's pantry. That was of course, a tub filled with lukewarm water; it was too chilly a night for a cold dinner; the score of roxy apples. Bobbing for them was no end of fun, and the first youngster clever enough to bring one up in his or her teeth was given the first place on the list of honor. Maquey, Species of Cactus, Furnishes Medicine, Drink and Fiber for Basket Weaving. In Mexico there is a plant that feeds a greater number of persons in more different ways than is known elsewhere in any other country of the world. said G. W. Lucas, topographical engineer for the Mexican Transcontinental railway. The maguey is a species of cactus which thrives in greatest extent and prefers to grow great means of food. The republic of Mexico is perhaps the most remarkable plant, and its utilisation, of all the more common tropical plants on earth. In this country a plant of the same family is known as the century plant, but of course the variety in Mexico is different, and here apparently the plant is used only for ornamental purposes. This plant throws out tiny spores with from two to eight branches edged with small spines or needles, which identify it as of the cactus family. THE WATER BOWL An apple tied to a string was swinging in a doorway—it got bitten at last—then 16 minutes were spent over what the small hostess called "candleboats." It excited curiosity enough when there was handed about a platelet one was walnut shell halves. Each one was walnut shell halves. Each india ink, then into it had been poured a spoonful of paraffin in the center stood a bit of oil-soaked cotton string to make a wick. The children, each one keeping in memory the number of his valuel shell, crowded about the tub on the kitchen floor, and on its waters was launched a fleet of burning candle-boats. All sorts of exciting adventures befell them; they bumped into each other, one or two were caped while a fewailed on serenely with their little candles burning up the last drop of grease. The last survivor was inspected for its number, then its owner's name went third on the roll There was no greater fun during the evening than a "peanut carry." The boys chose partners and were ranged in two lines from the dining room to the parlor. At the end of each line the girls would pick peanuts, beside the other stool, the umbrella, with her pencil and paper. On it was a wooden bowl and two plates. Bobbing When the bumble called a girl's name she and her partner walked down the center to the farther table. Covering the back of their hands with all the peanuts they could hold, they carried them to the other table, where they were counted. It sounds like an easy task, but the winner had only seven or eight peanuts to his credit. When the children began to giggle, when hands grew shaky, or a walk quickened into a run, the peanuts were tumbling everywhere to the delight of the onlookers. There was a game of bean bags, then a spirited soap bubble contest. For this partners were drawn again and a ribbon stretched from end to end of the room, with boys on one side of it and girls on the other. It was played almost like a tennis game, a girl blowing a bubble to her partner, who waffled it back. The contest went down the line, and the children who kept a bubble浮动 for two minutes won. At least 32 names were down on the referee's list and every body gathered about the grab bag in front of the witch-doll, who held up her resis of raffa. Each boy and girl, according to her place upon the list, pulled at a black or an orange colored rosette of raffa. One jerk brought out a bundle wrapped in tissue and such queer things were unwrapped, red velvet and chai enamel, feathered roosters or tiny dolls, old women who nodded, their heads and old men who winked their eyes long tailed mice, or fat little owls and Japanese novelties without end. What a stampede there was down cellar when the jolly aunt appeared with a corn-popper, tins and a package of popcorn. Upstairs they came again, presently with a bushel of corn, with kernels and with bowels of popcorn and peanuts they made a circle about the jolly aunt, who announced that the It does not attain to its full growth until its fifth year, but it may be made useful two years earlier. In its third year one or all of its branches are tapped, making cavities in the sides of the branch in which the sap or juice of the plant collects. "This latter liquid is that known in Mexico as leche liqueur, an effusion medicinal in many disorganized human system, but it must be used as such the first day after it is picked. If allowed to stand for Land Heid Sacred. In rural Ireland popular tradition is still strongly opposed to the cultivation of the land within the peculiar earthern circles or rather within found in every part of the country, and from which many places take a market. The land inside the fairy circles is held almost as sacred as a cemetery. Though pre-1160 it is frequently used last half hour was to be devoted to lost something very weird and "Hallow- eney". She sat before a low table chanting softly, while into a saucer she tossed a tablespoonful of salt and poured alcohol upon it from a silver flagon. When she touched it with a match it blazed up in a blue uncanny flame. Then she began in a slow, deep voice: "Little Orphant Annie's come to our house to stay!" house to stay: She had scarcely reached the last verse, when the saucer lamp flared strangely and went out. The reader lit it again, with her salt and alcohol, and recited: "All around the house in the jet black night night, it stares through the window pane." But the light went out as she whispered slowly: "All the wicked shadows coming, trapm, trapm, trapm!" There followed Emene Gleid's ghostly "Seeln. Things," with its "scary" refrain. But as she ended the last stanza, the lights suddenly blured up, real electric lights in to tailow dips in carrot candlesticks, and the clock struck nile. There was a scurry upstairs for warm caps and coats, and the little lady hostess, her tail mother, and the little lady hostess, her tail mother, and the lolly sum, but to the witch tor Apples. lady on the lawn, whose round eyes still glowed it had been a very jolly Hallowe'en; even the witch lady seemed to acknowledge it the next morning when her head was carried down cellar and her queer wooden leg bumped its way up the attic stair It has been known during a long time that in western Europe man existed during the glacial epoch. We know that the great ice age consisted of different glacial times separated by interglacial times. in glacial times the snow line dropped 3,000 to 4,000 feet below its present level in the Alape, whereas in interglacial times it lay about 1,000 feet higher than at present. Thus the temperature seems to have been higher in the interglacial periods than it is now. There is abundant evidence, in the opinion of Penck, that man existed during the beginning of the last glacial epoch. There is some reason for thinking, since the last glaciation happened since the last glaciation and that the man whose jawbone was found in 1909 near Heidelberg lived 200,000 years ago—Scientific American Clothes have a most surprising influence on the mind. If you don't believe it, some day when you are tired, or perhaps a blue, or even brown, take a bath put on something dainty fresh from top to toe, and your best go-to meeting gown, and you'll feel as if a fairy wand had suddenly touched you with some wonderful, transforming power. You'll find your looking at the world through a rosty miel, instead of clouds of dull gray. It will be easy to smile—Suburban Life. mentation takes place and the aqua miel changes into what is known as the most common of the intoxicating drinks of Mexico—pulque. "When distilled pulque is the greatest national drink of Mexico and is known as mescal. The mescal distilled in the State of San Luis Potosí is regarded as the best quality and is called tequila. "It is not only in its medicinal and drinking qualities that the muguey plant is useful. It is one of the most important fiber plants in Mexico and the most important fiber plant in the baskets and clothing. It is tough fiber, but as flexible as a linen thread." Whether it is the fear of the fairies or some other cause which gives rise to the disease, it is more difficult and in some districts is more binding than the law of England. "No, but she's tried it on a ga stove." When Angeline Came Home "Yes, were awful glad to get back to town," confided the twelve-year-old sister of the young woman whose special young man was calling for the first time since the family returned from the lake. "Er -Miss Angelline—your sister—is she glad, too?" inquired the young man craftily. "My goodness, yes!" said the small girl. "She's the giddiest of us all. Angelline didn't seem to care for any of the things that were real fun, like Ted and I did—she was always afraid of getting sunburned or something. I don't think when you grow up there is much left in life to enjoy. All Angelline wanted to do was to put on another dress and up her hair and moon around with the count." The young man sat up straight. "The count'? he repeated inquiringly, with a basty glance at the stairs." "Who was that?" "Why didn't you know there was a real small girl in surprise." I should have thought Angelline would have written you about him, because that was all she could talk or think about. "When she found his name on the register," went on the small girl, "I thought she'd have a fit or something, for she came rushing upstairs and dragged out her best white embroidered linen suit. "Why," she said to mother, "did I put on this horrid, cheap blue, gingham for breakfast this morning? Do you suppose he was the one who sat at the next table," she said, too, when I asked her if he would hold on a tight rope, or something, she pushed me out of the room. All the grown up women were just as excited as Angelline and rushed around whispering together. Ted and I decided that he must have two heads, or something, so we started out to find him. There was a strange man reading a magazine in the arbor and when we walked in and asked, "Are you a count?" he stated and then he laughed. "No, I am not. I be pleased to direct us to the end of the pier, where we could pursue our inquiries." "There was another strange man there and I didn't like him half so well as the first one. He kept jumping around and his eyes snapped and we stared at him a long time. till he almost jumped at us. Then I asked him to tell me. And please tell us what you count!" "I don't think he liked us, because he threw up his hands and dashed away" "He acted different with Angeline. He was always leaning over her chair and ambling and his voice sounded like the inside of marshmallows. There wasn't any other girl there as pretty as his face in course; she cut out all the others." "She did, did she?" remarked the young man in tense tones, with another glance at the stairs. "Go on!" "Oh, my, yes!" said the small girl. "She told mother she guessed if any of the washed out, uninteresting girls there were going to get ahead of her they were mistaken. Mother got real patronizing to the other women and was always talking about estates and family trees and how Angeline was such a sweet and lovely and brilliant girl that she had always known her fate would be different from the common run of young women and the honors ever heaped on Angeline's head would ever make her forget to be nice to those bereath her. "The other women just sniffed and left Angeline alone, but she had the count, so she didn't care. She used to talk about it to mother and say, 'no, the other girls back home be simmering about it, though?' And mother would say, 'If only father doesn't set up!' "It was real fun to see Angeline sweep through the hotel lobby like a queen and smile sweetly at the other women and see how cross they'd look and how they'd rock fast and talk after she'd gone." "One afternoon the count was going to take Angeline riding and she came downtown, all rigged up. She wasn't there. Finally she asked the man behind the desk. Have you seen the count? I am waiting for him. "There were a lot of people around and they kind of laughed. Then the man behind the desk coughed and said: 'Well, there were two man waiting for him, too, while he was in at lunch and they took him away. They —er— had a warrant. He's been jumping out and will kill you and the detectives just ran him down. They said something about a forged check, too." "So Angellie was just as glad to come home as the rest of us," said the small girl "She got terrible home-sick after that. Ted and I were glad to come, because father wrote that there some new puppy's in the barn. "Oh here's Angellie! Say, Angte, why didn't you write to Mr. Hopington about the count when you wrote to him all those times from the lake? He didn't know a thing about him." One of the young doctor's first clients was a fat girl. Her fatness weighed upon her, and she wanted to get rid of some of it. The young doctor drew up a careful diet. She was to eat dry toast, plain bailed beef, etc., and to return in a month to report the ducklings. He was to walk with her could hardly get through the doctor's doorway. He was agitast. "Did you eat what I told you?" he asked. "Relligiously." His brow wrinkled itself. Suddenly he had an inspiration. "Wild idea?" he asked. "Oh, that's ordinary meals." London Opinion. WASHINGTON GOSSIP To Auction Off Decrepit Warships This Country Full of Foreign Spies Draughtsmen Separated From Pay-Roll IT IS? YOU CAN'T BEAT THIS—IT'S A BARGAIN!! WASHINGTON—If Uncle Sam wanted to go into the summer resort business, now would be his golden opportunity. He has scores of chances to acquire for a song hotel and resort property of great scenic beauty, though probably little commercial value, according to the agents booming them. Whether Uncle Sam will "bite" will depend upon the national forestry commission. The efforts to sell are being made under the Weeks' Forestry law, otherwise known as the Appalachian Forest Reserve act. Last spring, when advertisements were issued for land to be purchased with the $11,000,000 appropriated by that law, the rush began. It has continued since then until nearly every owner of a "busted," down-the-heat summer resort in the mountain sections of the southeastern states and New England has tried to unload upon the government. The offers are still coming in. Already over 2,000,000 acres have been built on the government property. All of this is not summer property, but a considerable proportion of it is. The resort property is not offered for the buildings on it, but for the beautiful "parks" about them, which are always heavily timbered and suitable for forestry purposes, according to the promoters. It all the land offered were to be bought THE contemplated sale by the United States government of 43 warships caused as obsolete in the latest navy report will open an extensive field to the battleship broker. The lot will include battleships, armored and protected cruisers, monitors and gunboats Rapid development in the building of dreadnoughts has caused battleships and other war craft which ten years ago were considered formidable to the modern requirement. Consequently the government plans to get rid of them, either by breaking them up and selling them as junk, or disposing of them to South American republics. Among the battleships classed as obsolete are the Kearnsarge, Kentucky, Alabama, Maine, Massachusetts, Indiana, Ohio, Oregon, Missouri, Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin. It cost to build them $64,405,225. When the Kearnsarge and the Kentucky were put in commission several years ago they were among the finest battleships afloat. Their batteries of seven-inch guns were impressive, but now, compared with ships like the Delaware, the Michigan, the Florida, they seem insignificant. The cruisers doomed to the scrap heap are the Brooklyn, New York, St. Louis, Charleston and Milwaukee. The Brooklyn was Admiral Schilkes's flag HUTTA SHARIF SPIFS, according to reports in Washington, are still at work dinding out the nations which they represent the secrets of this country's defense. Not satisfied with their "military attachés"—sometimes called the title of a spy not in disguise—the natoats, directly or indirectly, have been working all the time throughout the world collecting information. This information is of every sort; economic, geographical, commercial, but especially military. It is the first duty of these men to report all details they can gather of the fortifications in the country to which they are attached. This information is eventually filed in results of the general staff, and on it, to a large degree, depends the preparedness of the country for war. In New York itself there are doubtless many spies besides the consuls. Some years ago a young lieutenant in a foreign army spent his vacation on this side of the Atlantic, admittedly reporting to his government the various activities of the United States, es- EIGHTY draughtmen, whose annual salaries aggregate a quarter of a million 'dollars', were dispensed with at the end of last month. This force has been busy for years making individual plans for the government's public buildings through the use of officials, in taking stock of cash on hand, found that they had only money enough to pay these draughtmen. Therefore they asked congress for $200,000 to keep them on the payroll for the next nine months, completing the fiscal year. But there was nothing else coming from congress to give a situation and it is suggested that as the government has over six hundred plans for all kinds of public buildings the draughtmen could be dispensed with and new buildings authorized built upon plans already made use of. Of course, without the necessary money the treasury officials had to let the draughtmen go. The old prac-tice of taking clerks when there was no money to pay them with and having the congress make up the deficit when it would probably cost Uncle Sam $100,000, instead of $11,100,000. One of the leading summer resort "forest reservations" which the government has been asked to buy is the Natural Bridge in Virginia, for which something like a quarter of a million is wanted. Accompanying the offer was a beautiful painting of the bridge, which was great for scenic but but did not seem to be much for beauty. The bridge was used for the picture, it was explained. The promoter of the property did not admit it, but it is well known that the Natural Bridge died a natural death in recent years. A large number of other resort and hotel properties in the White Mountains and the much advertised "Land of the Sky," or "Sapphire Country," of Carolina are being offered to the government at ridiculous prices—whether ridiculously high or ridiculously low will be for the forestry commission to say. Officials of the forest service have mapped out certain areas within which it is thought desirable to buy land, the definition of for-land, and the conservation of stream flow. Some of these areas include summer resorts; but that does not mean that the forest service wanta these resorts purchased. Certain big White Mountains hotels want the government to buy whose mountains so that the trees thereon will be preserved for the benefit of their guests. Lands are being pressed upon the government for $50 to $100 an acre, but few if any of these will be bought. Most of the purchases which the forestry commission will authorize will probably be cut-out and waste lands which can be obtained for a few dollars an acre. ship at the battle of Santiago The total cost of these is $29,350.275 The unarmored cruisers that were serviceable in the Spanish war, but in a modern see battle couldn't approach the enemy within ten miles or more are the Olympia, Dewey's Sagittair at the battle of Manila bay; the Kaleigh Baltimore, Chicago, Cincinnati, Boston, Marblehead, Atlanta, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Montgomery, Minneapolis, and Columbia Total cost, $25,965.782 Warship brokers in this country naturally will look to South America as the most likely field for business. Argentina and Brazil are setting the pace for dreadnoughts, and the smaller republics, which might wish to follow their example, may find it cheaper and more economical to build the ships of the Kentucky and the Kearsarge. Such of the smaller republics as wish to increase the strength of their navies, being unable to order dreadnoughts, probably will try to make a bargain with Uncle Sam or else employ the battleship broker. specially in some of their island protectorates. He returned to his home country, and nothing more was heard of him for several years. One day toward the end of 1910 a man who had met this officer on his first visit was much surprised to meet him again on a ferryboat at New York city. The officer was dressed in civilian clothes and either did not recognize his former acquaintance or pretended not to recognize him, he readily acknowledged his identity. He said he was in this country permanently and was working in a factory on Staten Island. This factory was within half an hour's walk of some of the most important fortifications on the Atlantic seaboard. The fact was easy to make the acquaintance suspicious. Here was a man who had been an officer in a foreign army, who had at one time adorned himself in a country on an inspection tour, and who suddenly turned up six years after in civilian clothes and said that he was working regularly in a factory close to a great fortress. Some time later the acquaintance called up the factory *see if the man* was there. He was not, but had left shortly after the interview on the ferryboat convenient does not appeal to the officials in the departments any longer. Several years ago a law was passed making it an offense for an official to create a deficit or to use money appropriated for one specific purpose for another purpose for which the regular government would be required. Not only will there be a saving of $250,000 for the present fiscal year, but there will also go indefinitely a saving of a quarter of a million dollars each year, for the treasury officials have let the draughtmen go for good. There are now in the United States, exceeded and in use, $62 public buildings, costing from $25,000 to $3,000,000 each, the last named figure being the cost of the New York custom house. TO POSTPONE TEST ASK TO HAVE SET FOR NOV. 14 File Motion in Supreme Court For Delay Of Action Attacking Right To Operate Pending Ruling On Petition. Des Moines, Oct. 20.—The liquor interests of Des Moines through their attorneys have filed a motion with the supreme court asking that the hearing on the question of the operation of saloons during the dying out of consent petitions be set for Nov. 14 in place of Oct. 26, the date set on the docket. The Iowa Amendment association which brings the case in the supreme court to test the right of saloons to do business between the period of expiration of consent petition and decision in court, has agreed that the case, he heard on the day, the lawyers claim that they have not had time to prepare arguments in defense. If the high court of the state rules in favor of the Iowa Amendment association, the saloons in Des Moines and Valley Junction will have to close their doors until a decision on the legal sufficiency of the saloons is made. These two cities is handed down by the supreme court. The five year time limit on consent petitions in the state expired on July 1 of this year. According to law the petitions asking for renewal of consent were circulated and are now being contested by the temperature forces in the district. The Supreme Court's association argues that the saloons have no legal right to operate following expiration of consent and before decision on validity of last consent petition.
