The large and increasing circulation
of The Iowa Homestead in this county
is 9 matter for congratulation to the
publishers and to good farming, for, of
all the papers of its class in the coun-
try, it is easily the host aud most help
full. Its Special + rmers' lnslltute
editions, issued Wiz .Ae regular edition
the first week in each month, have been
for years the admiration of all practi-
cal farmers. Written wholly by farm
ers, they are full of actual experience,
and smell of the soil. We have been
fortunate enough this season to secure
terms for The Homestead and its Spec
ial Farmers Institute Editions, together
with The Poultry Farmer and The
Farmers Mutual Insurance Journal,
four of the most valuable farm publ
cations in the country, that enable us to
offer the four in connection with our
own paper for $3.50 for the entire five,
one year. This is emphstically a good
thing, and no farmer in this county
should fail to take advantage of this
offer. For large line of thoroughly
practical farm reading nothing has ever
been offered before that equals it. A
county paper, u farm paper, poultry
paper, farm insurance paper and the
Special Farmers Institute, all for 81. 80.
Come in and order them.

Short Law Sermons.


If young men had to harvest a crop
of wild oats before sowing one, the wild
oats market would take tumble.
1t is not hard to form an idea of what
heaven is after spending an hour in a
happy home.
Charity does not consist in giving
away something you do not want
The foolish man spends dollars trying
to find proof that he has not an i'm
mortal soul.
The bible is the literary stan lard by
which the literary genius of modern
times measures its own short comings.
When g professed christian wears a
face as long as pump handle, it is safe
to guess that what he thinks u religion
is only moral dyspepsia.
The man or woman who prepares for
death is wasting precious time. 1t is
better to prepare to live.
Too much EN- phasis on Sunday OBJ.
servance may result in causing men to
forget their Christian duty on the six
other days of the week.
People have q right to view with
suspicion the minister who talks
against working ION Sunday and then
accepts the invitation of some good sis
ter to take Sunday dinner with herself
and family.
Most men who declare that science
contradicts the bible do not know the
difference between astronomy and peol.
ogy.
Agnostics are those who pride them
selves on their Ignorance, and many of
them seek to financially profit thereby.
Love, not law, makes men moral.
Demetrius believed that 1t was his
"plain duty" to stop Pauls preaching
at Ephseus. This was because Psul's
preaching WIS., calculated to put stop
to the worship of Diana, and Demet.
RUS made silver images of that god
dess' Demetrius founded large fam
lily, most of them being politicians.
Satan said, cali that man hath will
he give for his life" The martydom of
thousands of Christians prove that Satan
was true to his reputation of being the
father of lies.
Many men who imagine that they are
finding fatal flaws in the Christian re-
ligion are only finding defects in the
modern church.
Men who sneeringly assert that min
listers preach only for the salaries paid
them are the men who never subscribe
cent
The bible would be more interesting
If read as pleasure instead of as a
penance, for instruction instead of as q
duty.
Scoffers have yet to find man who
was made worse by reason of teachings
received during boyhood at Christian
mothers knee.
The trouble with great many who
console themselves by quoting, "Who
SO giveth cup of cold water In my
name," etc., is that they content them
selves with giving only cups of cold
water.
Intidelity has never yet been able to
controvert the proof offered by the
peaceful death of q Christian mother.
Quite number of men who assert
that they could easily write better
book than the bible have to work al.
mighty hard to make bare living, and
they know that the author of better
book than the bible would reap riches
beyond the dreams of avarice.
1t is strange that so many men of
naturally keen perception persist in
measuring Christianity by its poorest
exponents.
No man ever went wrong by dong his
very best to follow the paths trod by
the Man of Nazareth.
