The yeldt Fine Camping Ground.

We have seen a good deal Of camp
life on the Veldt, and if one excepIs a
few discomforts. such as the brown
color of our drinking water and an
occasional flight of locusts, we must
admit that the veldt, with its level
space and bracing air, is an almost
ideal field for campaigning. And even
the storms OF dust, rain and locusts
are welcome in moderation, for they
are features of the country which go
to make up full experience of life in
South Africa. In one week there
have been two transforms and one
flight OF lccusts. There is certainly
no hardship in that; indeed the rain
is most welcome, for it cools the air
and helps to lay the dust. H. J. Wig

LACEY ON RURAL DELIVERY
Brooklyn Chronicle: 1t has been
reported from one or two sources
that Congressman Lacey was opposed
to the system of rural free mail de.
livery. While those who were fami-
liar with his views on the question
were aware that he was in hearty
sympathy with the movement and
was in favor of maintaining and ex-
tending the system wherever practic-
able, there were some who had been
led to believe that he had voted,
against the appropriation to estab-
lish rural delivery. In order to as
certain his views on the question,
j. j. Sloan wrote Mr.. Lacey in re-
gard to the matter, and we herewith
publish his reply, which should satis-
fly the most ardent supporter of rural
delivery that our congressman is in
hearty accord with the movement:
Hon. j. j. Sloan, Brooklyn, Ia
My Dear Sir: Your letter in regard
to my views and vote on the free
rural delivery is at hand. l do not
understand how or why any question
should have arisen on The subject
There was no aye and no vote, but
all the Iowa delegation, including
myself, voted for the appropriation.
[ have secured a number of new rural
mail routes. One at Hedrick, one at
Ottumwa, one at Oskaloosa and one
at Newton. Several more have been
recommended. The question of the
future as to free rural delivery Is one
that must be considered The people
who have tried it thus far are nearly
all in favor of it. 1t is uncertain how
extensively the system can be exten-
ded without requiring heavy appro-
priations outside of the postal receipts
This is the doubtful part of the ques-
ton. Hon. Perry S. Heath, first as
sistant postmaster general, tells me
that he thinks that the system will
increase receipts sufficiently to near
ly pay the expense and that in his
judgment it has passed the expert
mental stage and he is in favor of
keeping it up and Increasing it. He
is as enthusiastic for free delivery as
our friend Robert Wylie. The Brook
lyn route was one of the first estab-
lished any where. All the additional
routes are meeting with approval by
the people in the lines. Some of the
fourth class postmasters complain
that it Injuries the business of their
offices, but the approval far exceeds
the criticism in all directions. Yours
truly, JOHN F. LACEY.

ROAD GR4DTNG

The What Cheer Patriot is fernenst
the present method of road Ill prove
ment and suggests that: "Any one
of the nine road graders in this town
ship would do more effective work in
one day now than all nine of them
will do in week next summer when
they are likely to be used, yet it is
twenty to one, not one of them will
be stirred from its shed before July
or August. This is another proof
that the present system of caring for
the public highways is altogether
wrong, and the sooner the district
township system of letting out this
work to competent contractors the
sooner we will have roads properly
cared for at half the present cost.
The law provides for this method,
and once adopted it would soon be-
come universally popular"

IOWA PLNNS.

A recent bulletin entitled "Plum
Growing in Iowa." issued by Prof.
Craig horticulturalist of the Iowa Ag-
ricultural Experiment station, gives
an interesting review of the industry.
This contains in addition to large
amount of information upon the var
ious problems and difficulties con-
nected with plum growing, the tabu-
lated experience of the best plum
growers of the state together with
descriptive notes of the varieties and
directions for the culture and man
agement of plum orchards. The bull
letin is freely illustrated with half
tone cuts which add much to its at
tractiveness and usefulness. 1t will
not be distributed generally but will
be mailed to those who are sufficient
ly interested to send to Ames for a
copy.

frequent calls for extra papers and
was offered more than the prize was
worth to print enough coupons to Sc
cure it. All requests of that kind
were steadfastly refused and what
extra papers this office had were
carefully guarded until the contest
was over. Despite our precautions
however, some of the papers were
carried off and in several instances
our files were mutilated by over
anxious vote gatherers.
The present contest, if reports are
to be believed, have lead to dis
honesty, thievery and prejury on the
part of vote getters all unintentional
we know, but sufficient to make bad
blood, and create an i'll feeling that
will be some time in dying out. The

space in two or three town papers

would have left no sore spots. But

been in operation or if the news

CONTESTS AND RESULTS,

The ill feeling that has sprung up
over the result of the Shaffer Piano
contest again emphasizes the fact
that money spent in this way by
merchants does not bring the returns
and the good will that the same
amount invested in Newspaper or
other straight advertising would do.
about two years ago the silver ware
premium business became such a
nuisance and hurt legitimate trade so
much that all interested got together
and agreed to quit it for all time to
come. Since that time the business
interests of the town have been gen.
orally free from schemes of this kind
and everybody interested has been
of the opinion that he was better off
in every way.
Such schemes would possibly be all
right IL they could be held down to
legitimate rules, but when the contest
warns up this is almost impossible.
Only a short time ago a merchant
conducted little contest of his own,
and while the ballots should have all
been taken from newspapers lot of
them were counterfeited and printed

WHAT ONE WOMAN DID.

New Sharon Star: Mrs. Joe Rob-
erts has probably made the best
record with poultry that has been
made in this locality. Since her hus-
bands clio ing out sale, which took
place last fall, Mrs. Roberts has
sold S292.6S worth of chickens and
ducks, besides using for the table
during that time S1O.S9 worth of
eggs and SlS.75 worth of chickens at
the regular market price, and still
has twelve ducks left. This is an
other proof that associated with bus
mess tact the poultry business is a
winner. Mrs. Roberts is certainly to
be congratulated on her success.

Usage News: The ''hired man"
question is quite serious one for
farmers this season. We understand
that men are demanding $500 per
month in some instances. The young
man able to command wages like
that, with board thrown in, out in
the free open air and where he can
live like a king, is fool to teach
school for $50 per month or clerk in
a store, at any price.

that municipal ownership was the
