Some one said that man FIRST works
for bread, then for butter on his bread,
and will exhaust himself to get sugar
ON the butter. There Is great deal OF
truth in the remark; at least as far as
miners are concerned. They want the
best when they have the price. They
are not so exacting so far as flowers
and perfumes 20. They are not aesthic
ia their tastes and inclinations, but
they want good clothing, good board,
good magazines and books and good,
comfortable homes or lodgings. They
can rough 1t when necessary, take
their bacon and beans as their every
day diet, sleep where night oyertakes
them and never whimper, growl or
grumble at their fare. They are min
ers and take life as they find it, not
as they would wish it to be. OF
course, they enjoy their bread, hut will
take butter ON it if they can get IL, aud
will have the sugar ii it doesn's cost
too much.
But miners life, and his custom
and habits do not lead him in the
direction of aestheticism. He is q gem
tleman, but not dude. lie may be u
little rough iii his ways and blunt in
his language, at times, well-meaning
and kind-hearted and disposed to do
the right thing under all circum-
stances. He may appear stern and un-
yielding, but it should be borne in
mind that the miner is forced to meet
and overcome stern and apparently un-
yielding conditions in his daily avoca.
tions. These conditions often find ex-
preston in his demeanor.

the Greenback mine, in Josephine

near Leland, for which he has been

SAVE THE CORN FODDER.

The failure of the usual May rains
through quite an extensive portion Of
the west proved very disastrous to the
years hay crop, and the crop of timo-
thy hay will be very light. Added to
this is the fact that over about the
same area the clover very generally
winter killed, and If never before the
farmers of the corn belt are this year
face to face with the problem Of how
best to utilize the fodder of theirscorn-
fields for forage the coming winter.
The first and most important step in
this connection Is to arrange for the
cutting up of the crop at the proper
time. There are but a very few days
when the corn crop is just right to cut
up to get the best results. The exact
stage Of maturity when the crop should
be cut is when the stalk and leaves are
still green with the husk Of the ear
well turned or when the kernels on the
ear are in the stiff dough stage While
corn so cut will shrink to some extent
in the number of pounds of shelled
corn which it will produce to the acre,
the fodder is Of enough greater feeding
value to more than Offset the loss.
Most corn is allowed to stand toe long
before 1t is cut. Another thing, the
larger the shocks made Of the bundles
of cut corn the better the fodder will
be. The handling and feeding Of the
corn fodder after it is cut will greatly
vary. If steers are being kept, feed
the shocks out on clean blue grass
pasture, allowing the steers to pick off
the ears, they then to be followed by
stock cattle to clean up the residue.
The fodder may be hauled up In the
late fall when 1t is well cured and put
under shed or in barn to be husk-
ed or shredded or thrashed or run
through cutter. Each man will be
governed by the kind of stock he has
to feed and his facilities for handling
the fodder, for there is no best way.
The point is to use it that the greatest
good can be got out of it with the
smallest expenditure of labor.

HENLEY BACKS IlExRIoTr.
Attorney General sus,ains the Treas-
urer In Jones Case

Des Moines, July 3.The attorney
generals opinion in the Jones case will
be made public this week. Treasurer
Herriott has been Withholding it in or
der to give Clerk Jones a reasonable
time to pay tc the state fees which
have been withheld. but as Mn. Jones
has failed to signify his Intention of
doing this the opinion will be given
out today or later in the week.
+, 1t was learned yesterday upon au-
thority which cannot be questioned
that the attorney general sustains the
position taken by the treasurer in the
case and that his opinion puts a new
and serious aspect upon the case. The
report of Jesse Miller to Governor
Shaw shows that five kinds of fees are
due the state and il they have been
withheld it is the duty Of the treasurer
to see that they are now paid in full.
He also says state officers cannot hire
clerks when an appropriation is not
provided for that purpose. 1t has been
remored around the state house for the
last week that the attorney general
had "called the treasurer down" but it
will be seen when the opinion is made
public, as it will be in a few days, that
his position is defined as strongly in
accord with Mr.. Herriott's demands.

METHODIST DISCIPLINE.
One church In Chicago Where Card
Playing Is Tolerated.

Paragraph 24s Of Methodist Discip-
line, which was upsuccessfully assailed
in the recent general conference, and
which still directs the Methodist pas
tors to hunt down, and if need be, eX-
pei those of their floclls who indulge in
card playing, dancing, theaters and
circuses, has no terrors for the Ep-
worth Methodist church, in Edgewater,
and its pastor, the Rev. Frank D.Sheets
On recent Sunday Mr.. Sheets gave
his people an account of the action of
the general conference in regard to
amusements, and read to them the sa-
tirical resolution of Frank A. AFTER,
extending the list of forbidden amuse-
ments Indefinitely. Then he told them
that he did not allow any man to keep
his conscience, be he bishop, presiding
elder or what not, and he would advise
his people to claim and practice the
same sort of freedom of action.
81 believe" said Mr.. Sheets, there is
only one family in my church that does
not play cards. have not played much
myself for long time, but my boy
plays, and there are euchre parties
among my people all the time. | see
no harm in it and we do not care any
thing about the rules of the church. 1t
it the same way with dancing and the
aires. l see no harm in them and will
not advise against them"
Mr.. Sheets reads the Sunday papers.
The Rev. WA. Burch, pastor of the
fashionable South Park Avenue NJ. T..
church, has announced that young peo-
pie joining his church will not be re-
quired to subscribe to the article pro-
hibiting dancing, card playing and the
aire going.

OTTUMwA INSURANCE.
Governing Committee Takes Up the
Ottumyva Matter.

Yesterdays Chicago Inter-Ocean
prints. the following:
''The effort of the Ottumwa agents
to stop the foreign-broker evil is ere
ating considerable stir. The agents
requested that the companies should
cooperate with them in their refusal
to accept insurance from foreign brok-
ers, especially by declining to
them. The governing committee of
the union has taken the matter up aud
has requested all it's companies to do
what they can to help the agents out.
The Ottumwa agents are anxious that
it should not be thought that the fact
that c. E. Boude has served notice
that he would not cooperate, publish
ed yesterday, has broken up their plan.
They wired yesterday that he was the
only man outside, that all the others
were standing together, and that they
had hopes that he would yet come
around. The companies in the Boude
agency are the London and lancashire,
the Aachen and Munich, the Halvetia
Swiss. North British and Mercantile,
American, of Newark, Prussian Ma
.tional, Manchester, National of Hart
ford, Michigan Fire and Marine, Pa
cific, German-American, Northwes-
tern Underwriters, American Central,
Baloise, Svea, Colonial and Traders of
Chicago.
1T develops that johnson and Hig-
gins, the foreign brokers, against
whom the Ottumwa campaign is being
waged, do not control the entire Nor
rell line, which amounted last year to
$685. 900. The ban has been extended
to cover all the insurance on any plant
on Which they have line, no matter
where it comes from. If Morrell &
Co. offer line to the Ottumwa agents,
it is to be refused on the ground that
to place any part of the line while
johnson and Higgins have share in it
only helps them to fulfill their CON
tract with the assured. The agents
have appointed committee, which is
to decide when the companies original
" on the risk have what they regard
as their full quota, which will not be
till the johnson and Higgins line is re-
divided among the local agents"

Carried "DoggIe,, in a yalI.e

The method which some people en-
ploy to eyade certain rules and charges
imposed by railroad companies is in
deed amusing when discovered. The
women are credited with leading in
clever scheming, an example of which
was witnessed at the union depot in
this city yesterday.
A middle-aged woman stepped from
the Rock. Island which arrived in OF
tumwa from the north at 1928. She
had large grip in her hands and soon
after leaving the train opened it. A
little poodle dog sprang out onto the
platform, curled it's tail up over its
back and went trotting off as uncon-
cerned as tho it We're a common oc-
currence to be ''valised' up when mis-
tress takes trip on the cars.
1t is against the rules of the COM
PAW to take dogs into the passenger
coaches, and the express companies
charge for their transportation. Those
who are clever enough to evade the law
save a paltry sum every time they do
it.
Superintendent O.. i. Stewart said,
upon hearing the incident related, that
it was equal to clever piece of work
which he saw attempted one time at
Abba. He said he was coming east on
a Burlington passenger train, and just
as he went to get aboard the train he
heard the brakeman say to woman
who was in the act of climbing onto
the adjacent step, what have you got
wrapped up in that shawl?''
That's my baby" replied the wo-
man.
mo, it isn't" said the brakeman.
That's no baby, and if you care to have
the animal transported in the direction
in which you are going, you will have
to put him in the baggage car and pay
the regular dog rate"
Superintendent Stewart said he did
not know what to think when he first
heard the remarks of the brakeman.
He saw the woman had what he sup
posed to be small child wrapped up.in
a shawl, and at first thought the brake
man must be mistaken. Later he said
he was convinced that the brakeman
was right, and the woman carried her
dog to the baggage car and paid for
him as the rules require.

If the hired man of today who seeks
employment upon the farm would, as
he can find time, study the elementary
principles of mechanics so that he
would know something about the diff
ferent sorts of machinery which are
used on the farm and would post him
self up on stock feeding and breeding
and dairy lines, he could very easily
command better wages than he now
receives. Ee does not need to go to
college to do this. He must first of al
resolve to get better posted. next he
must avail himself of suitable reading
matter bearing on these lines. and then
he should seek to educate himself in a
practical way as he does his daily
work on the farm. With books. eyes,
ears and gray matter working harmo-
niously it is surprising how much one
can find out, how much practical
knowledge one can get which others
are willing to pay good money for.
Few men understand how much they
may do in the matter of educating
themselves. Now, if hired man would
rather go a-sparking some girl or go off
on q night toot to town or just crawl
into bed and snooze away his spare
time he may be sure that he will re-
main just a common plug hired hand
as long as he lives. 1t Is the supreme
privilege for every young man who
lives under the stars and stripes that
he may make the most and very best
of himself il he will with the aid of
schools and colleges or without them.
What the young man wills to do for
himself in this way he may do. He
can be chump or. man. prince or beg
gar. land owner or tramp, be simply
endured as social parasite and eco.
nomic leech or make the old world the
better for his having lived in it. Be it
one talent or ten which is given, let
them be properly used.

Company Rules.


Company Rules.
No. 10, the Denver-Chicago train,
put on by the Burlington last winter, is
just now demonstrating more than at
any previous time, perhaps, the great
worth of the new service. Passenger
traffic in general has been exceedingly
heavy during the past few months, bnt
No. IL has been especially in demand.
A greater part of the time five Sleep
ers are necessary to accommodate the
passengers on this particular train. 1t
is local train from Denver to Omaha,
from which. place it departs as a thru
train at 1880 p. M, arriving in Chicago
at $3.50 the following morning.
No. 2, formerly known as a thru
train from the west, is at present
made up of from seven to nine coaches
every night, in order to accommodate
the travel, and in fact all the principle
trains both east and west are taxed to
their utmost capacity almost every
day.
Freight traffic is also exceptionally
heavy for this time of year.

butter makers are to be obtained, it Is
