SAVE THE FODDER

To Ny Farmer Friends: Let not
your hearts be troubled. You always
have raised plenty, and you have
plenty this year, if you will just take
care of it. While we have not got
quite as much corn as we have some-
times, yet never saw corn fodder
better than it is this year. believe
an acre of corn and fodderis as good
this year as other years. An acre of
corn fodder cut and put up properly
is worth a ton of good hay for feed
ing horses, cattle or sheep, and it's
as good for hogs. Most any man can
cut and put up one acre in day, do
it good and do it easy. can do it
easy, and have lived out my three
score years and eleven. Don't wait
on some one to get around with a
corn binder to cut for you. l have
known people to wait week for a
binder. Then after it was cut and
bound it perhaps would lay on the
ground week before it was set up.
By that time it would be nearly
spoiled, especially if it gets shower
of rain. Besides, it costs dollar an
acre to have it cut, besides the twine
which is about 25 cents, and then its
worth, so cents an acre to set it up,
which is S1.75. SO if you can't get a
cutter when you want it go at it your
self. If you have more than you can
do hire some one to help you, they
want the pay and need it. In my
opinion if we save what we have,
corn will not be higher next spring
than it is now. The old saying is,
which is true: "If you have a small
crop save it all and you will have
enough. If a large crop save it all
for it will all be needed"

A DENOCRATIC OPINION


The following is the leading edito-
rial in Sundays issue of the Chicago
Chronicle, paper accepted every
where as the leading advocate in the
west of democratic policies and prin-
ciples:
THE so-called democratic state
convention of Iowa appears to have
left very bad taste in tae mouth of
nearIy everybody excelt Secretary
Walsh, of the national ..emUcr4tic
committee who feels tlat he has
earned his salary,
Even the candidates q. 0 not we'll
pleased with the appearance of
things, anu the extreme populists
and socialists have already named a
ticket of their own as protest
against any sort of affiliation with
democrats even of the weak kneed
variety.
1t is not likely that this condition
of affairs will show any improvement
as time passes and as the issues of
the campaign come to be more close
| ly examined.
The democrats of Iowa have been
invited by their alleged representa-
tives in state convention to devote
time and money during the next two
months to the advocacy of the follow
ing propositions:
/. The free and unlimited coinage
of both silver and gold at the present
legal ratio of 16 to l without waiting
for the aid or consent of any other
nation; the standard silver dollar to
be full legal tender for all debts pub
| lie and private.
2. The immediate abandonment of
Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philip
pines, this being Mr.. Bryan's inter-
probation of the Kansas City plat
form.
8. No changes in our trust-breed-
ing and trust-protacting tariff laws
until the idea of 50-cent legal tender
dollar has been fully established.
Some other things are involved in
the re-affirmation of the Kansas City
platform but it is probable that The
average democrat will find these suf-
ticient for all practical purposes.
Is it remarkable that the so-called
democratic convention in Iowa, aft~r
| having taken to its arms this body OF
death, found it almost impossible to
get men of good standing and sense
TO accept the nominations which it
| had to hestOw?D

Newspaper conditions at Pella
have at last been adjusted to suit the
demands. There is now one English
newspaper, the Chronicle, and one
Holland paper, Tne Weke Blad. The
Chronicle is an out growth of con-
solidation of the old Advertiser and
and the English Blade, and is an
enterprising and lively sheet. G. w.
Stout, a printer and editor of expert
ence is the proprietor of the new
enterprise, and judging by the two
issues under his management Pella
will have the best newspaper it ever
possessed.

MAHASKA LEADS.
Produces More Coal Than ANY
County in Iowa.

Mahaska county is still queen of
the Black Diamond fields of Iowa,
producing more coal than any other
county in the state. The yield for
the year ending June 80, 1901 was
1,072, ,493 tons, and the wages paid to
miners and other employees amount
ed to 81 ,181 ,006. Such is the informa-
tion given in the forth coming report
to the state made by Mine Inspector
John Werner, of this city. His entire
report covers the several counties
under his supervision and is of spec
ial interest to those engaged in the
coal business. That part of his re-
port pertaining to Mahaska county
follows:
Mahaska county still maintains
it's position at the head of the list of
the coal producing counties of Iowa
For more than twenty-five years it
has produced more coal each year
than any other county in the state,
but it begins to look as if its supre-
macy in this respect was about ended.
The extraordinary development of
mines in Monroe county in the last
two years has far outranked devel-
opment work in Mahasks county,
and, unless something is done quick
ly to Offset the advantage gained by
it's neighbor on the south, the indi-
cations are that Mahaska county will
have to be satisfied with second
place.
The extension of the Chicago and
North Western railroad across the
Des Moines river has proved of great
advantage to the mining industry Of
Mahaska county. The extension has
made available valuable coal territory
that promises TO yield more coal than
has been produced in Mahaska coun-
ty since the beginning Of coal mining
In It.. AT present only one mine,
shipping coal over the newroad, is
operated In the county on the west
side OF the river, but q great deal Of
prospecting has been done In the

ably be opened La the near future.

THE PENALTY OF FAME

Adolph Robert Kraus, one of Amer
ica's greatest sculptors, and one
which Massachusetts has especially
honored, is now an inmate of one of
her institutions-the insane asylum
at Boston.
In the above story is the harsh
denouement of an unhappy story. In
a city whose public park boasts his
work in bronze, whose statehouse
has placed one of his marble creations
in niche to forever memorialize a
great man, whose citizens In the
years but shortly flown honored and
feted him, he went poor and forgot
ten about the streets, without the
pittance that would have prevented
what was to have been his master
piece from falling into shapeless clay.
With no work to do, with large
family at home to whom he could not
take the food they needed, 1t was

she dreams OF sincere happiness aud
yearns for riches that her heart may
have its cravings stilled. Vanderbilt's
burden is too much gold; the washer
woman's, too little
And between the two, men and
women struggle seeking an evanes-
cent nothing that "like the snowflake
in the river,' is a moment white,
"then melts foreveri" They seek
that which is not, and on this earth
never will beperfect happiness.
Because they do not secure that
which is not, they imagine various
causes and yearn for different condi-
tions of economic life. The philoso-
pher looks upon their warped deduc-
tions and smiles, for he knows they
are combating theorem at whose
finish no mathematician ever yet
wrote 80. E. D."
There is no perfect happiness. The
blushing bride, the joyous child, the
dying man who see ths shining light
of their Authorizations, oftimes seem
perfectly, supremely happy. The
mirage is lost as the sun goes down
and thorns infest the way of life. 1t
is only in the fulfillment of the prom
ises made for an after life that true
happiness comes to man. He is of
the earth earthly from which spring
the tares with the wheat.
Vanderbilt is wrong. He is unhappy
| not because he has always had mill
lions, and he may be no whit unhap-
pier for this, but because happiness
| unalloyed and immaculate is not for
| such as inhabit the earth. This is
| not a pessimistic view, hut rather one
of optimism-not expecting to be
supremely happy, we will be happier
than we had hoped.
Wealth does not bring happiness
nor take it away. The bird that
carols in the shady nook has not
wealth, only nest that love built.
Neither is the bird free from sorrow,
for a storm may despoil her nest,
destroy her brood and turn her Joy to
woe.
Men become slaves to the ignis
fatus of happiness, seeking it even
unto death, living worried, carnworn
lives, shadowing a ghost, an imagi-
nary apparition known as pleasure.
For this men have conquered and
slaughtered, ,bled and died, forgetting
God, love, honor and the devil and
at the last reasoning gasp realized
they have followed a phantom, no
more productive than Mahomet's
hell, "a paradise of sensual delights
and wondrous beauty"
I Power no more than gold brings
happiness. Rienzi, son of an inn
! keEt, 9r aaH washerwnuran, siezed the
helm of state in Rome. He sought
happiness in forgetting his simplicity,
in dressing gorgeously, in living royal
ly, in existing close to the curriculum
of happiness as he imagined it. The
happiness shed her promises like the
peony its petals. Rienzi became a
wanderer and an outcast to die by the
sword. ...
All conditions of men are unhappy
sometimes and Mr.. Vanderbilt is no
worse off than his brothers. He
should shake himself together and
be patient. There are times when
! joy camps in our baili wick and then
again sorrow sits beside the hearth.
Life is a sprig of bitter sweet. Happy
the man who is not supremely happy,
but philosophically so.

CRYING FOR THE NOON

Waterloo Reporter: William K.
Vanderbilt is like NiObe, all tears.
He is in the throes of regret, his can
teen OF sorrow is pushing the cork
out and his shoes hurt his feet. The
fact that thousands of less fortunate
individuals than Mr.. Vanderbilt
would like "to be in his Shoes" to
use homely and time-honored ex-
preston, does not assuage his grief
nor blot his crocodile tears.
The plant of a man reared in a
protoplasmic cradle of ease with a
golden guinea for a plaything, is that
his life Twas never destined to be
happy!" Weak man. Philosophers
tell US we are not born to such an
aesthetic state that no matter what
our position there will always be
that yearning, nauseating desire in
our lives annoying and disturbing
our being, just as frisky rat, gnaw-
ing at an old shoe in the garrett, is the
nightmare of our slumbers. Happi-
ness is no more to be had by man
outside of heaven than can exist by
artists brush soul on canvas. 1t
was so ordained, and millions OF lives
have attested the truth of the ar
rangement.
Mr.. Vanderbilt thinks he Is not
happy because he has had so much
money all his life, that his ambitions
have been buried beneath the golden
dross. His burden has been wealth.

scrubs, scrubs on the Eincen board,

State Superintendent of the Iowa
Anti-Saloon league because he had

HURRAH FOR SHAW AND

IL y LhIlhH HOLh SJLh w dN ~
The year 1904 will be a splendid
time to choose president from west
of the Mississippi river, and of all
the wealth of territory in this latitude
the state of Iowa is the most entitled
to name the man. Iowa has been
loyal to the Republican party since
it commenced to advocate those prin-
ciples that has made it great, and
she has never swerved in her duty.
In 1896 when her sister states few off
on silver wings, or tied their kites to
populistic band wagons, Iowa stood
like a rock and rolled up a majority
for sound money that surprised the
nation, and won comments all over
the world. In that memorable struggle
no firmer advocate of gold and glory
could be found anywhere than in
Hon. L. M. Shaw our honored Gov
ernor. The policy of hisparty was a
conviction with Mr.. Shaw, and day
and night he worked for the success
of that conviction which has proven
the salvation of our national finances
and the foundation of world wide
credit and honor. He saw into the
future further than many Of his COM

as he has been on every subject, he

Charlie Reimers who conducts an
elders Column" in his Davenport
Times, was formerly resident OF
Ottumwa, employed on the Courier,
and knows j. T. Phillips, the Demo.
cratic nominee for governor like a
book. He says Mr.. Phillips does not
even apply to Cleveland's source of
sound logic, the encyclopedia, but
always has a convenient friend,
usually Senator Smith, to prepare
his addresses for him. Continuing
the "Idler" says:
81 happened to be in Ottumwa one
time attending a state lodge conven-
ton, and of course Mayor Phillips
was down on the program for the
address of welcome. 1t was generally
convenient" for the mayor to be
called out OF town at such times, but
this engagement could not be broken.
So the senator had to write a speech
for the mayor and the mayor read it
off before the several hundred dele
gates with great gusto. 1t had been
type written. I learned afterwards
that the original copy had been given
to one of the papers and the mayor
was reading from one of the poorly
copied carbon sheets. He got about
half way through the speech in good
shape, when he struck a particularly
dim place in the carbon copy, and
was stuck. He looked at it again,
turned it over, stammered few
words and then said he guessed he'd
skip that, and he did. To those who
know the mayor, who is now the
gubernatorial candidate on the DEM
ocratic ticket the situation was funny
in the extreme. Senator Smith hap
pened to be sitting in the audience,
but couldn't help the mayor without
giving the snap away"

Two interesting liquor cases are
docketed for the October term Of the
supreme court. One is that of Eugene
Lutz vs.. the Sioux City Brewing
Company, in which a wellknown
German lawyer seeks to shut up the
big brewery built in Sioux City some
years ago. He was beaten in the
lower courts and will now seek to
have the supreme court say brewery
in Sioux City is illegal. The other is
the case of John Hamilton vs.. the
Schlitz Brewing Company, from Linn
county, in which the plaintiff does
the remarkable thing of suing a
brewery company for the recovery
of money he has paid the company
for beer on the ground that the sales
were illegal and therefore he should
not have paid them. The amount in
vJlved is S5,139.25.
