With Tannin let your cups be crowned!
If Strychnine gives relief - Toll,

Let Oil of vitrol cool your brains,

And fill your arteries, hearts and yeins,
With glee--and infusoriai glue

Bewitching bowl of pru.sian Blue!
Who would not sooth his parching throat

as should be used in families, will exfiagaish

aud it will not take fire or explode. Stan>
dard kerosene, such as the law recognises, is
perfectly safe. We wish to state and re-
state this fact, MS it would be great mis-

arise from the tact that such adventures are
numerous, and attempt to deceive the peo

evil work. These frauds are not practiced
upon the uneducaied sione, but upon the

There is nothing that more fureshadows
| State than the provisions for the develop,
| ment of her common schools. A waketul
interest and an enlightened legislation t-nd
greatly to this end. He who travels through
the country, ard visits the common schools,
ard examines the school Louses, can tell
pretty accurately the present tone Of public
sentiment, and judge very certainly Of the
standing Of the new generation. We may
claim that in provisions for our schools,
iowa stands in the very van of the States in
the American Union.
On September 4th, 1914, our National
Congress made an appropriation to Iowa for
internal improvements, Of 535,i73 ana
.6>l00 acres Of land. Afterwards, by con-
sent Of the General Government, this was
transferred TO the school fund. There vas
then set apart for the school fund every 10th
section OF land, which amounted to l,0l3,>
GA and 2l>l00 acres, which, united with
the former appreciation amounted to l,5i9,-
0s7 and 97-l00 acres. Congress also set
apart for the same purpose, 5 per cent. Of
all the money accruing from the sale Of pub>
lie lands in the State. Also, by law, there
falls iuto the school fund all estates that es>
cheat to the State and fines for violation Of
the license law, &C.
There now remains Of The school land not
reported as sold, 572,49l and 6l loo acres
This is estimated worth $500 per acre
amounting to $1,7l7,474 and 80 cents. OF
the moneys realized by the sale Of lands,
there has been loaned to the counties usually
secured by mortgage on lands assessed as
worth twice the amount loaned, also secs>
ring by the endorsement Of two additional
names
The sum of s2,IsI.Iol g.

Invested iu U. S. Bonds loe, ,a2s 90

Total cash assets Sa,557,lO7 10
Total with cash assets $j,es4,5sI So
It is greatly to be deplorcd that our State
Legislature allowed . large part Of those
school lands to be sold at the nominal sum
Of $l.25 per acre, when il they had been
held out of the market, they would before
this time have yielded from S. to &25 per
acre. Nor should the Remaining land be
put into market until they will yield at least
$40 per acre. And yet it will be seen that
We have at present, assets to our school
fund of nearly $5.00a, 900. The annual in
