ARBOR DAY.

State Superintendent Henry Sabin
has issued leafiet to the teachers of
Iowa, containing exercises appropriate
for the observance of Arbor Day, Fri
day, April Gath.
This beautiful custom of observing
ArBor Day is growing more aud more
general every year and will eventually
result in every school house being in
the midst of n handsome grove.
In the introductory remarks of the
leallct Mr.. Sabin says:
with every observance OF Arbor
Day, its Importance and usefulness In
creases. This year Iowa reaches her
semi -centennial. The first half-cen-
fury of her existence IN a state closes
will, u marvellous growth Of material
wealth, of development In all that
tends to make a state strong and ell
during, in schools and churches, in
farms and factories, i'm citizenship
loyal to every instinct of noble man
hood and womanhood. Proud of our
past, what of our feauturep The
common schools of the state must
answer this question.
Strange as it may seem, we are not,
as people, alive to the imperative de-
mands which the next fifty years will
make upon those who are to take our
places. The character of our common
schools, and the preparation of COM
mon school teachers for their work,
are questions which take hold of our
future as no other questions can. May
we not hope to make ArbOr Day of
this anniversary year the means of en-
Tightening the people and of encourag-
ing among them a more active and
more progressive school spirit? Plant
the tree, and at the same time plant in
the minds of the people the stern de-
termination that nothing shall become
between them and the education of
their children.

CROP REPORT:
CENTRAL STATION,

CENTRAL STATION,
DEs MONIES, Iowa, April 10, 1896 J
The past week brouglita rare variety
of weather, with notable comming-
ling of summer and winter conditions.
A general storm began the 7th and
continued until the 9th, the precipita-
ton in many localities in the northern
and central district taking the form of
snow, sleet, hail and rain, the tempera-
ture being near the freezing point.
This was followed by much warmer
weather, with frequent showers, the
maximum temperature ranging from
IS to 80 degrees.
Reports from all parts of the state
show that the drouth has been effectu-
ally broken, the measurements of pre-
cipitation ranging from one 10 four
inches. There is ample moisture In all
sections and In many localities the soil
is thoroughly soaked. The bulk of the
precipitation has been absorbed by the
thirsty earth.
Farm work has been delayed and
some seeding OF small grain remains
to be done in nearly all districts, A
fair start has been made in blowing
for corn. Farmers are pushing things
ON all lines with renewed confidence
Grass has made vigorous start. In
the districts where winter wheat is
grown reports are generally more
favorable. There are indications of an
increased acreage Of spring wheat
compared with last year, and 4 proba.
BILE decrease In the acreage of oats.
More than the usual amount of grass
seed is being sown. Fruit buds are
swelling and no damage Is reported.

and management to organize as secret
society and carry OH insurance bust
ness as part of the fraternal and
beneficiary work, than to attempt the
some work in any other manner. Bet
ter results are obtained. In none Of
the societies is the social feature of the
work wholly eliminated. In the ma
Jority of the societies, however, the
fraternal features are subordinate to
the social features of the lodges and
are based OH the principles of the
lodges rather than cold blooded bust
ness ideas, This is what makes them
so attractive To all people and accounts
for their remarkable growth.
Very few people have an adequate
idea OF the immense business done by
these secret societies and fraternal or
ders. Ii the insurance feature is not
considered at all the business foots up
into the millions annually, and the
business which Is i'm some sense insur-
ance is still greater, The Odd Fellows
alone distribute over $4,000,000 year
for the benefits chiefly OH account of
sickness OF members. The total mem
bership of all these fraternal orders in
the United States is estimated ut about
100000 and the amount distributed
annually ut over 1926, 100000. This is
splendid showing. The American peo-
pie are generous, they love their neigh
bors, they believe in fraternity and
mutual helprulness; and their belief
finds expression in deeds that speak
louder than words.
One good thing about these orders is
that they eschew politics Seldom does
any member make use of his connec.
ton with i'm order to advance his in
terests politically, for so thoroughly
has the principle of non-poltical asso-
citation become fixed that u great ma
jority Of the members of all societies
would resent an effert to use member
ship for political purposes. They also
take no port In religious controversies,
though none of the societies are dis
tinctly non-religi0us. AS Il rule these
societies have been well manage !,
have as members the best men OF the
country, do good wherever they are
and deserve we'll of the peOple.-Sioux

HRATERNAL. ORDERS.

The growth of fraternal orders has
been enormous in recent years. Secret
societies have been known from the
beginning Of civilization, hut until the
last half century they have been con
sidered of value almost entirely for
social features and recreation. The
strictly fraternal order Is u compare
lively new thing. At a recent great
camp" of tho Maccabees Of New York
the report of membership showed that
during the past five years the New
York membership had increased from
1900 to $1,000. Yet this Is only one of
many new organizations on similar
lines, and Its growth is typical of the
growth of many others. 1t is said that
in the United States the Odd Fellows
lead in number of members, there be-
ing more than 100000 of them. There
are more than 100000 Masons, 1000
Knights of Pythias, $4,000 United
Workmen, 10000 Maccabees, 100000
Royal Arcanum members, 10000 Red
Men, like number of American Me-
chanics, and large numbers of knights
of Honor, Foresters, Chosen Friends,
Elks, the V. A. S. fraternity, the
Knights of the Golden Eagle and
others.
Some Of these secret societies are
merely insurance organizations. 1t is
more convent as matter of discipline

THE COUNTRY PAPAR.

He was getting home from buSiness-he,
a merchant well-to-do-
The wheels Of the electric car were
throwing sparks of blue.
And around him were acquaintances
who. where they stood or sat,
By look or word or gesture. were invtt-
inS him to chat.
But quite ignoring all of them, except
to bow and smile
When hailed by some one at the door
or just across the aisle,
He read with boyiSh eagerness, while
speeding DER the street,
The poorly printed pages Of a little
country sheet.
He read of Tom Jones' enterprise in ad-
And learned that ''Sam Huddleson has
got q bTand-neW yarn;
That "Aupty Sinpkins gave a tea" that
crops. are pretty good,
And that "Ab Bailey came to town and
brought a load of wood"
Well, yes; these things are -trifes. per-
haps, to You ana NE NE -,
that used to be;
And from his busy city life he glances
back with joy
To see the town that circumscribed his
doings as boy.
Each poorly printed paragraph upon the
homely sheet
Presents a scene familiar or friend he
used to meet;
And maybe-you can tell it by the smiles
that quickly come
There's mention of his mother and the
other folks at home"
Men wander far for fortune. and find
it, too, and yet
The farm and slothful village and its
folk they ne'er forget;
And there's not thing in city life which
greater joy can give
Than the little country paper printed
where they used to live.
