These committees in visiting the various places desig nated are not doing so to pry into anyone's personal business, but to ask your aid in their work. If you are conducting a business, asking the people to patronize you, selling them foods, etc., and' your place is un sanitary it is not but proper that it be made" sanitary. Any person who has a legitimate business and con ducts it along sanitary lines should welcome such an inspection, and certainly the cons'/mer should be more than pleased. The only one who could take offense at such a movement must be the one who is not proud of his business and ashamed of the unsanitary condi tions surrounding him. Now, let's all "boost" with the committees for our town is what we make it, and let's not only have a clean town but everything working to keep it such. Killed A Child Near Els ton.

Just prior to the final adjourn ment of court on last Thursday Judge Towner was requested to va cate his seat on the bench temporar ily and Judge J. W. Harvey took charge. It was the final term of court at which Judge Towner will oreside in this county, he retiring to go to congress after serving as judge of the district court for twen ty years. On behalf of the entire bar of Decatur county, Hon. V. R. McGinnis then read the following resolutions which were signed by every member of the bar residing in Decatur county: Whereas the Honorable H. M. Towner, who has been one of the presiding judges in this, the Third Judicial District of Iowa, for twenty years last past, will retire from the Bench on January 1, 1911, and is now holding his last term of court at Leon, Iowa, and Whereas, the members of the bar of Decatur county, Iowa, deeming it proper and fitting, desire to pub licly recognize and acknowledge his faithful and efficient service on the Bench, therefore Be It Resolved, That we individ ually and collectively as a bar here by tender to the said H. M. Towner, retiring judge, our grateful apprecia tion of his long and faithful service that we have found in him a capable and upright judge, one who has at all times impartially perforfned his duties as such, and has presided dur ing his long term of service with un usual faithfulness and ability. Be It Further Resolved, That while we' regret his retiring from the Bench yet that our best wishes for his personal and public welfare are hereby extended and shall be with him. Be It Futher Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the records of this court, and that the same be formally Qr$gented in open court in recognition of his long distinguished and faithful ser vice. Signed at Leon, Iowa, this 17 th day of November, 1910. Then each member of the bar made a few remarks touching on the high regard for Judge Towner of every attorney who had ever practiced in his court, and especially so by the younger members of the bar who had all commenced their practice in his court. Senator J. D. Brown also made a few remarks rep resenting the farmers of the county and Dan Anderson, of Lamoni, fol lowed representing the citizens in general. On resuming his seat Judge Towner replied in a feeling manner to the high tribute which the bar had paid him and spoke of the regret which he had in leaving the bench which he had occupied for so many years. Judge Towner has been one of the most popular judges in the entire state and has a record of judicial ability which is an en viable one. He has enjoyed the friend ship and esteem of a large circle of friends in thiB city and county, both among the legal fraternity and the people in general. Took T«n Inoane Patients Clarinda. to Sheriff J. E. Andrew took two insane patients to the state hospi tal at Clarinda on the same train last Thursday. One was' James Bolds, of Richland township, 54 years of age, who has four times previous been sent to the hospital for treatment, the first time in 1877, and he was released the last time as cured in 1908. The pres ent attack dates from four weeks ago, and after a'hearing before the insane commissioners he was order ed taken to the hospital. The other case was that of Henry Stanley, a well known resident of Grand River township, who is 73 years of age. Mr. Stanley has been in poor health for some time, and about four months ago his mind showed signs of being deranged, pre sumably resulting from an over dose of morphine taken by accident last June. He has been gradually growing worse and it was thought necessary to send him to the hospi tal at Clarinda for treatment, which was the order made by the insane commissioners after a hearing. It is to be hoped that a few weeks of trleatntent at the hospital will re store him to health again. Baptist Church Notes.
