THE GOVERNORS VISIT SOUTH.

The governors antitrust convention
at ST Louis, Mo-, last week turned out
to be a gathering of the chief execu-
tives of less than dozen states, most
Of them the "befo' the wah' kind. 1t
gave the governors Of Missouri and
Texas and of Tennessee opportunities
to discuss free silver, free trade and
other isms of democracy and to lament
that business conditions In the south
were not attractive to large aggrega-
tions of capital. Governor Shaw, of
Iowa, participated in the meeting, and
he really seemed to be q. very big man

THE BOARD OF CONTROL.
IClinton Herald

There are few papers that are still
throwing stones promiscuously at the
state board of control. 1t Is within the
province of every paper or person to
criticise acts or policies of the board,
but those who are against the board
of control method of managing the
state Institutions are very few, and
practically all of them recognize that
now to return to the old system, or to
adopt any other plan of management.
would be to disarrange the business of
the state. The board of control plan
will have fair trial. On the whole it
seems to be of advantage to the state,
yet 1t has had less than two years in.
which to inaugurate its policies. 1t viii
require term of several years to
demonstrate it's true merits, and thu
people will give it all the time needed
before condemning the policy, even if it
undoubtedly act in harmony with the
would be to cripple it's work There
will be numerous persons in the legis
lature who doubted the wisdom of the
experiment. but they viii be as loyal
as anybody to the new order of things,
and II the phophesies of the ardent
friends of the board of control system
prove true. they will be gratified tc
have it so.
AN APPOINTMENT CRITICISED.
[Eldora Herald.1
The appointment of James N. Miller.
n bookkeeper in the Soldiers Home at
Marshalltown, to the superintendent
of the girls industrial school at Mitch
ellville by the board Of control opens a
very important question regarding the
management of the state institutions.
The question very naturally arises,
what does Mr.. Miller know about the
management of girls Industrial
school? The Herald has not one word
OF criticism for Mr.. Miller, personally,
or question for one minute his standing
as man and honorable, upright citi-
zen, but. the question will be continually
asked. what practical knowledge has he
acquired in the life training he has re-
ceived that would fit him with the nee
essary qualifications for the manage
ment of state institution. He may
possess the necessary business acumen;
doubtless does. Admit that proposition.
But there are other qualification that
are of much greater Importance. The
management of the business feature
ldwindies when compared with the other
responsibilities. The mere mention of
the name. girls Industrial school, i'm
plies special training for that particu-
lar work. 1t can not be expected to be
acquired by years Of theoretical study.
but the position should be filled by one
who has had years of rigid discipline in
the actual performance of the special
duties required.
The board of regents Of the State
luuiversity have been freely commended

SHORT OF HELP.
rNnvada .Io1irnal1

Nevada and vicinity is now exper-
fencing shortage Of laboring men.
Every man who wants to work can now
find employment at renumerative
wages and there is thousands of dol
lars worth of work going undone just
for the lack Of help. The price for day
labor has advanced and men are re.
ceiving from s1.5O to 81 per day for the
most common kind of work. The con-
tracing firms working along the north
western in this county are short of men
and are putting everyone to work that
applies for job. We suppose that this
kind of situation would be termed
"hard times" by our brothers of oppo-
site faith politically, but we can't see it
that way.

HEAVY RAILROAD TRAFFIC.
rperrv chiaf- r enorter

Traffic never was so heavy as the
past week on the Milwaukee. The yards
here have been blockaded part of the
time, and yet remarkable number OF
trains are being moved each day
Most of the traffic is east bound, but
the west bound is unusually heavy. On.
Sunday twenty-five freight trains We're
sent east out of Perry, making over 400
loaded cars. 1t was the largest business
ever transacted over the Milwaukee.
There We're sixteen sections of No. 81
on Sunday. and it is not an uncommon
thing to have from three to ten sec
tions. Two trains were brought in from
the west, one with 102 cars, and an
other with seventy cars. i took three
engines to get these trains into the
yards.

James Wilson, sums up the work of the
Elk. stations and its benefit to the farmer as
follows: 1st. ut acts as bureau of informa'
ton regarding all questions of pratical In
terest to the farmers of its locality. end, 1t
seeks by practical tests to devise better meth
DDS of agriculture. 3rd, 1t aids the farmer
in his contest with insects and with diseases
of his crops and live stock. 4th, 1t defends
the farmer against fraud In the sale of ferti'
lizers, seeds, and feeding stuffs. 5th, 1t in
vestigates the operations of nature in the
air. water. soil, plants and animals, In order
to find out the principles which can be ap-
piled to the betterment of the processes and
products of agriculture.
Fourteen persons are employed in the
work of the Michigan Experiment Station
and not less than twelve bulletins, giving
the results of experiment tests and investi.
cations are published each year. These are
sent to 90, 900 addresses thereby dissemnat-
ing the knowledge thus gained to large
majority of the farmers of the state. Many
practical and beneficial results are obtained
and without doubt the farmers Of the state
are putting these tests into practical use
more and more each year.
In conclusion believe that the more we
study the nature of our soils and crops and
the more We apply in pratical way the
principles deduced from these investigations
and experiments, the greater will be our
gains.

plenty of periodicals suitable for them,

the boy have piece of ground to plant,
and let him have the crop, or some
young stock to care for, when it is
grown let it be his and not yours, and
we might add, let the girls have all the
room they want for flowers. Some of
