For COUNTY TREASURER,
For COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT.

THE IOlOd Homestead for last week
has been received and is filled with
useful and interesting matter relating
to all branches of farming and live
stock growing. Its various depart
ments, all conducted by specialists, are
so helpful to western farmers, that
profitable, up-to-date farming seems
almost impossible without it. 1t is a
matter of general remark among its
readers that no other western farm pa
per maintains so high a reputation for
practical, everyday usefulness as the
Homestead, nor tells each week so
much that is Immediately helpful to
the working farmer. Its inquiry
department alone, with the prac-
tical information it furnishes on all top
les connected with general farming, spe-
cial crops, cultural methods, horticul-
ture, the dairy, general livestock grow
ing, sheep, poultry, bees, animal dis
seases etc., is worth every year many
times the subscription price. Sample
copies will be furnished on application
addressed to the Homestead Co., Des
Moines; Iowa, or at this office. The
IOWa Homestead is sent free to paid up
farmer subscribers to this paper.

"DOEs Modern College Education
Educate, i'm the Broadest and Most Lib
eral Sense of the Term?" is one of the
most important inquiries that could be
set on foot. This discussion, which is
to be taken part in by President Gil
man of the Johns Hopkins, President
Morton of the Stevens Institute, Henry
Thurston Peek of Columbia, President
Schurman of Cornell, Bishop Potter
and others of the most distinguished
men of both United States and Europe,
is begun in the April Cosmopolitan by
a radical inquiry into the educational
problem along the lines of Herbert
Spencer. President Gilman will fol-
low in the direction almost equally
searching. Altogether there is prem
ised the frankest possible expression OF
opinion, and it seems probable that il
will be the most thorough comparison
ever made of educational methods with
the needs of everyday life at the close
of the nineteenth century.

Handsome Easter Window.

Decorah has long been noted for her
elegant window displays, but to our
mind one of the finest yet seen

Ben Bears corner The base of the
window is filled with beautiful cups and
saucers which Mr.. Bear will give to
his customers, while the background is
an arch of incandescent lights, sur
rounded by nicely displayed collars
and neckties, above which the words
"Easter Greeting" appear. 1t is an
arrangement which is constantly at
tracting shoppers.
