"It force:: a man into ttie p-isitioa
to require biui to go before a board
cf censors after he is ma rried 'and
say: 'Mr. and Mrs. Cen-or what shall
I do next?;'
Snow threw down the ga'iTi'let to
those who threatened anyone who
did not vole for the censorship bill
would not return to the legislature
ye;:T- from now.
"I want to accept that challenge, "
he said, after it had been put. int i
words on the floor by Webster cf
Hurt county.
"And I want to throw down the
gauntlet now to the members lure
and to this gallery. I'm not afraid
to take these two bills and to ao
out over my district or over the state,
explain both of them to the people
and. stand by their decision. I ;n,i
not afraid to stanad by the fundamen
tal principles of our American gov
ernment." Snow declared that under the pres
ent law a man is innocent until he
is guilty, but under this law a man
is made guilty until he proves him
self innocent.
Rodman and Snow both charged
that this was the first time that an
appropriation by the-stato legislature
was used to lobby for a bill at the
next, session. They charged that of
the appropriation that was innoentr
ly iii-jde by the la1 1 legislature a
sum of $15,000 had Leon u:;ed t
propagandize the Mate and lobby

islature. .Wcraen Stay Till End.
The women who have been spon
soring the campaign filled the galler
ies all day and stayed there until
after 7 o'clock tonight, when the bat
tle ended. There was a tumult of
applause from them when the final
vote was announced. They applaud
ed vigorously after each member had
finished speaking for the proposition.
The bill provides for the appoint-!
ment. of the board of three censors!
by the governor, the state superin
tendent of schools and the attorney
general. the members are to re-1 s
ceive a salary of $2,400 a year, to be;
paid from the fees collected from
examining films. There is no appeal
from their decision.

getting along nicely.
Henry Clapp, Jr.. purchased some
fine spotted Poland China brood sows
at the O. J. May hog sale held at
Rennet t. He purchased four of
them and they are of the very best

decided to specialize in the spotted
Pol amis and we predict big success
for him.
On 1 uesday morning Henry Bragg
received word from Louisville that
be was grandpa again, a fine little
daughter having been born on Mon

Stohlinan. No wonder Henry had
a big rmile on his face Tuesday. Mrs.
Stohlman was formerly Letlie Bragg.
The Kim wood mill and elevator
will be in operation again March 7
an I will handle grain and flour and
mill feeds. They will mill the "Gui

new brand to be known as "The
Pri.le of Elmwood." They will use
what is known as fowl sack. The
new repairs to the big engine are
being put in this week and the mill j
will be in operation at once.
The Kunz Brothers took charge of
the Long garage, which they recent
ly purchased and are-ready to look
after all business in their line. They
will have a complete repair depart

handle the excellent Ruick line of

oughly completed and is indeed a
fine one. Mr. Long will remain in
Elmwood, but has not made known
what he intends doing.

two and a half months ago under
such trying circumstances.
Mrs. Hattie Dufneld received the
sad news Tuesday night of the death
of her little granddaughter, daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Horace Wynn of
Shelby, Iowa. The little girl was
just learning to walk and was pull
ing the baby buggy walking back
wards and backed into a pan of hot
water which the mother was goine
to use to scrub the floor with. The
pan of water was in an adjoining
room ,and the child backed right
through the door and was so badly
scalded she died next day.
Our fire boys have their new fire
truck ready for business, that is, it
is complete with the "exception of a
coat of paint. The fellows are cer
tainly deserving of much credit in
their efforts to equip themselves
with this modern fire fighting ap
paratus with their limited financial
aid. They became tired of pulling
the chemical engine and hose cart
by hand so they planned the new
lire truck and bought a Ford ton
truck which they have had over
hauled and a body built suitable to
carry the chemical engine and the
hose reel and necessary tools and
equipment. The cost of the truck,
body, etc., amounts to approximate
ly $345, besides what work and ma
terial has "been donated by the fir-!
company boys and others. The bos
took up a subscription among citi
zens of the town and raised from
this source some $2S5. which leavej
a balance of $(!0 that should be taken
