HELPING STUDENTS.

The employment bureau to aid
needy students established by the
ladies' auxiliary OF Penn College ia
one of the most sensible and COM
mendable institutions ever formu-
lated in Oskaloosa. Many students,
and very often the young people who
accomplish most in after life are those
who work their way through school,
and taste the uncomfortable draught
of being poor. Though it is hard to
realize it and very often it will not be
admitted, yet the best capital a
young man can have to begin on is
poverty. 1t will make him temperate,
confederate and obIiging, and these
three requirements are a rich endow-
ment Give him chance to make
his own way, encourage him in right
living and in moral independence and
his future will care for itself.
On the other hand it is very
serious mistake to give college stu
dents special rates at stores or other
placess. A discount to students is
a premium on their laziness. It robs
them of their self-respect and ambi-
tion. 1t breeds in them feeling that
the world owes them something-the
most dangerous aud enervating idea
that can possess human being Give
the student to understand that in the
great business world he is no better,
and deserves no more consideration
IAN any other individual. Have him
know that if he wishes to enjoy the
comforts and pleasures of life he
must earn and deserve them. 1t may
cost him ten times the exertion to
accumulate the priceI of a suit of
clothes that it does some one of his
acquaintance. This, however, is no
reason why he shouldXbe shown any
| consideration. His condition is his
misfortune and in place of making
him an object of charity, open the
| avenue of work and let him learn by
| experience how best to use his time.
Let him solve the problem of accom-
| plishing more with every move than
he did in the past, and in the unfold
ing mysteries of life he will see the
lamp of success burning more brill
liantly than it ever did for the young
man in easy circumstances.
Teach the young man to work.
Make him earnest and independent.
But above all things do not make him
an object of pity, or in any way instil
iu him the idea that because he is a
student he deserves the least consid-
Grafton not accorded any other young
man.

OVR DAVDEETOY CROP

In noticing our reference to bloom
ing flowers in the midst of Iowa
winter the Carroll Herald remarks:
1.-THE OsKALOosA HERALD
writes POLITICALLY over beautiful
dandeliOus blooming in Deeem-
ber. But that's freak of nature.
We'd advise the editor not to go
into December daudeIions for
living. For they can not be de-
pended upon for a regular crop"
The advice is timely and we are
obliged for the consideration. The
thermometer registered only sixteen
below this morning, and as our irrigat-
ing bitches are frozen over we have
shut mp shop and adjourned until the
robbins nest again.

Senator Blanchard is one of the
first Iowa legislators to go on record
as favoring liberal appropriation for
the purpose of making a suitable state
exposition at the Worlds Fair in st.
Louis in 1908. Mr.. Blanchard is one
of the old and influential members of
the assembly aud his advocacy Of the
measure will have great weight, TEE
HERALD congratulates him upon his
forward step, and if it falls to him to
launch the measure in the coming
session it believes he will have an al
most unanimous following. Iowa is
the grandest state that has been
carved out of the great Louisiana
Purchase, and its showing should be
second to none.

"A fair illustration of how poor
crop year has it's compeusatioDs was
given by Mr.. Murphy, who brought
the Mills county apple exhibit to the
State Horticultural Society for com
petition. There are more than 700,-
600 bearing apple treesin Mills county
alone, so that even very poor crop
amounts to considerable. Mr.. Murphy
say that the latest estimates Place
the crop at not over 20 per cent of
normal; yet the orchardists got as
much or more for their crop than
usual, and that with much less work.
They were paid from So to 50 barrel
for apples in the orchards, and all
they had to do was to pile them up
and measure them out. But of course
they would prefer the larger crop,
even if it does take more work.

OUR PUBLIC LANDS,

The committee on Public Lands, of
which Hon. John F. Lacey of this
district, has just been reappointed
chairman is one of the most import
ant in Congress, Over one-third of
the lands which our government has
been called upon to administer, not
by virtue of sovereignty, but as a
great land owner-as John Marshall
put it-are still in the possession Of
the government and open for dis
posal. Alaska and our new possess
sions aside, since the foundation of
the government congress has had
the absolute coutrola of about ,5O0,-
900, 900 acres of the public lands. OF
this total $50, 900, 900 have been re-
served from sale and settlement for
various reasons of public policy. A
total of 75O, 200, 900 acres have passed
from the government to private
ownership, and 600 900, 900 acres re-
main for disposal.
1t is estimated that If these remain
ing lands are intelligently and scienti-
tically conserved in the future they
will support in comfort at least S00,-
0OO, 900 people. Hitherto the govern
ment has handled it's lands with
view to developing the country at
large, and not with the purpose of
benefiting the public treasury. In
cluding the amount paid for public
lands and the cost OF surveys and
administration the people have paid
over S4OO, ,O00, ,0c1 in cash for these
national holdings. Thus far the
matter of only $3.50, 900 900 has come
into the treasury on account OF the
sale of lands. The land account thus
shows dehcit of $50, ,0OO, 900. The
sale Of the remaining 600, ,000, 900 acres
will, of course, easily wipe out this
balance. Practically all OF these rteI
naming lands lieswestof the MiFsass
sippi river.

London, Jan. 12.--History fails to
furnish parallel to the Boer invasion
Of Cspe Colony. A whole month has
elapsed since the republicans crossed
the Orange river ard sill! Great Britain
knows next to nothing of their num-
bers, whereabouts, or doings, and still
less of the objects of the inrOad. The
only thing known with tolerable GER
tainty is that they are progressing
southwark over some sparsely inhabited
tracts, where they escape observation.
Other large bodies are traversing the
very heart of the colony. The only
logical explanation seems to be the
largely accepted idea that the invasion
forms a part. Of great organized
scheme Of that Napoleon of the war,
General DeWet, to strike terror in the
British colony, which, unquestionably,
is nearly denuded Of troops, and trust

such SUCCESS as will enable the Beers

their aims aud has enabled the hastily

vital strategic points, while there are
