Rev. Hageman's Sermon.

Sunday evening Rev. Hsgeman, of
the Baptist church, preached SER
mon on the topic, "Whst would Jesus
do as an alderman of a modern city
or village" to large audience. The
speaker handled his subject in such
manner that everyone IN the audience
enjoyed the sermon, though possibly
some might not agree with him in his
conclusions. He was opposed to the
present method of llcenseing billiard
halls and suggested this remedy:
''You should give to the assessor the
full value of all your belongings and
r.>V tax enough upon your property
to meet the obligations of the city"
If all ministers would handle public
questions as did Mr.. Hsgemsn, there
would be less friction between the
different elements in our cities.
In this connection the HERALD
wishes to say that the people of Phil
lipsburg are confronted with a situs-
ton like this: They must either re-
pudlate municipal debts, which would
be greater disgrace TO the commu-
nifty than permitting billiard halls to
run; or pursue the present plan, or
pay increased city taxes upon H.
creased values, or pay occupation
taxes. In order to replace the reven-
ues now paid by the billiard halls in
this city, taxpayers must pay double
the amount of city taxes, and did they
do that it would be five or more years
before this city would Ue free from
debt This does not include the
amount expended for water works ex-
tension, which will be cared for by
rentals from sale of water.

About Dining Cars.

The verdict given by the general
public that the Great Rock Island

in the world, will not be disputed by
patrons who have used this line.
Thousands of letters testify to this
fact. A better meal cannot be Sc

Our Agricultural Exports.

The chief of the foreign division of
the department of agriculture has
collected the figures showing the
amounts of agricultural exports we
send to foreign countries. He has
taken the periods from 1894 to 1898,
in which the agricultural products
exported from the United States has
an average annual value of $685., $780,
2O1.
Sixty per cent of the exports went
to the United Kingdom and it's de-
tendencies. They paid as high as
$403, 1858, 854 a year for American
farm products. Fifty-five per cent
of the total shipments, with an aver
age annual value of $685., 407,7 went
to Great Britain alone. Germany
takes the next place as market for
our agricultural exports. About 16
per cent went to that country valued
yearly at $86,32O,274 France took
the third greatest amount; and her
purchases of American farm products
for the five years averaged $43, 1888,
100, year. Nearly IS per cent of
the total products exported went to
these three countries.
The average values sent to other
important countries is given as fol-
lows: Netherlands, $28, 803, 156; Bel
GUM, $23, 731 500; Canada, $23. $685.
SIT; Italy, $14 264 424; SPAN, &c.

West Indies, $5,241,657; Mexico, ST.
636, 486; British Africa, 81. lbs, 800;
European Russia, 81 O60, 236. Other
countries which take agricultural
products from the United States at
an average yearly value above ST.

1888 worth of our farm products
each year.
Our exports of agricultural pro-
ducts have heen steadily increasing.
The amount exported in 1894 was
valued at $3.50, 633, TAT and in 1898 at
1858 507, 932, an increase of S221, 973,-
1876. OF this increase in five years
$50. 569, 954 went to the United King
dom. $46,441, 338 to Germany and
$33 Ale, POS to France. The exports
to Denmark doubled during the five
years The exports to Asia advanced
from s3,SO1, 998 in 1884 to 14,671, 849
IN 1898, and the exports from Africa
increased from $1.716.82O in 1894 to
50, 795, 598 in 1888. There IS every
prospect that the succeeding FIVE
years will see much more material
increase.

STRANGE as it may seem, seveFa
republican papers in this section en-
dorse Mr.. Reeder's plan of flooding
this section with the Missouri river :.
The Stockton Record, edited by a
postmaster, says: sit doesn't make
any difference whom the populists
may nominate for congress in the 9Th
district. Will Reeder has the sarae
kind of a grip on the plain people Of
the district that old Daddy Baker
had SO long, until they found him
out OF course Reeder is expected
to and will accomplish ten times as
much as Baker did, and there will be
little danger of its suddenly dawniDg
on the minds of his supporters that
they have been represented by stick
Reeder is a man of resources and
original ideas, and though some of
his Legislative propositions may ap-
pear q trife amplified for immediate
realization, they are emlnently prae-
teal, and it requires no stretch of i'm
sginstion to anticipate their full &C
complishment at no very distant day.
Reeder is not an empty dreamer, nor
is he practieed in the wlles of the
demagogue. He has spent his whole
adult life working with head and
hands for livelihood among the peo-
pie who sent him to congress. He
knows the needs of his district and
will eagerly champion measures to
supply them At the same time he is
broad enough to understand the larg-
er problems that confront the nation,
all of which are of vital coneern to
every citizsn of the republic. There
is no question but that w. A. Reeder
will from start to finish make clean
record of good work accomplished
and earn the hearty commendation Of
all fair minded people" 'Enaiaeptzy
practical" ye Gods.
The OberIin Times also endorses
the scheme by saying: "Hon. W. A
Rseder has great scheme to irrigste
the western part of Nebraska and
Kansas, but 1t is not new one with
him. For several years NJ. Reeder
has said that water IN the Missouri
river could be turned into a ditch
away up in South Dakota near PIERRE.
where it makes a short turn east and
brought down across this western
country towards the Gulf of Mexico,

thousands of acres of this land to

save millions of dollars Ia labor, and
the destruction of property along

This IS undoubtedly a wonderful
enterprise and would far surpass the

Regret Bis Departure.
The Council Bluffs papers speak of
the efforts that have been made to in
duce Prof. Hayden to remain st the
head of the school system in that city,
and of the reluctance with which his
resignation was finally accepted. In
fact, it was hoped up to the last. as
has been heretofore alluded to in The
ARGUS. that Prof. Hayden would con-
sent after all to remain in Co0ncil
Bluffs. The Council Bluffs depart
ment of the World-Herald, referring
| to Prof. Hayden's removal from that
city, says: General regret is felt,
| not only by the board of education,
the teachers and pupils of the schools.
| but by the citizens of Council Bluffs
generally, that Mr.. Hayden has
deemed it best to make q change.
| His scholarship. professional ability
and the energy and tact which he has
devoted to the Council Bluffs schools
have done much to bring about a har-

Council Bluffs schools to their present

wishes of an army of friends will fol-
low him and his family in their new
location.
sSupt. Hayden's resignation was
placed in the hands of Chairman Hess,

will be called, probably today. to act
upon it and to consider the question

Many school teachers, at the end of

and mentally. The demand upon the
nerves and brain of Il teacher is un-
usual and unless they are well fed
and fed upon properly selected food,
it is natural that they should run
down.
A little woman teacher at Goble-
vile, Mich, who has been teaching
regularly for a mum Der of years, has
always found herself thoroughly eX-

til within the last year. she has made
use of Grape-Nuts Food with the re-
suit that she closed the year rs a ro-
bust, healthy, strong, vigorous wom-
an, having gained in weight from
80 pounds to 1926; her nerves
strong, face bright and CHEEKY, and
really a wonder to all her friends.
who constantly comment on her
color and strength. She knows ex-
actly to what the change is attributed,
for in the years past, living on ordi-
nary food, she has almost broken
down before the school year closed,

change has been brought about, evil
