Monsters and Microbes.
How the Microbe Would Appear
If Magniflcd in Size to Cor
respond With Its Power.

The world has always believed in
monsters-great dragons of the land,
and huge serpents Of the sea. AS
rule these monsters have been fairly
peaceable, and beyond frightening peo-
pie occasionally, they have done little
recorded harm. The real calamities of
humanity have come from the smallest
forms of life. The minute microbe has
slain, its millions upon millions. If this
microscopic form of life were depicted
in size and form equal to its danger and

Chased Hrass.

Chased brass goods such as are gem
erally known as Benarcs work are
easily cleaned in this way: Wash in hot
soapsuds and dry thoroughly. Cut
lemon and with it rub the brass. When
1t looks clean, rinse in warm water, dry
and then polish well with a piece of
chamois skin. Chased work should
never be cleaned with any kind of
powder.

Daily News, Saturday.
Mr.. Sniff published the above in re-
gard to what THE TIMES had to say
about the purchase of the Percy lots.
About once q month the basement
editor publishes the statement that
TIE TIMES is owned by the Valley
Bank. We have several times notified
the editor Of the News and every other
man, that Mr.. Amen Or no other man,
woman or child on the earth owns an
interest in THE TIMES, except r.. III
Harris. Mr.. Sniff publishes the state
ment in order TO hurt our business and
our financial standing. If we had the
Same kind of financial standing that
Mr.. Sniff has in this city, we should he
very careful in saying anything about
anybody's financial affairs. There are
numerous other reasons why the gen.
tleman should try to make friends in
stead of enemies and the reasons are
we'll understood by many. II MI
Sniff will learn to attend to his own
affairs and let other peoples affairs
alone he would be great deal better
off both financially and "otherwise. {"
We hope this is the last time we will
have to correct Mr.. Sniff in his state
ments that the Valley Bank, or any
body other than ontself, has an inter
est IN TIE TEES We do our business
with the Valley Bank, and for ten
years we have found it a first class
bank to do business with, and If Mr..
Sniff can find bank he has done busi-
ness with for ten years he will have
to go out of Missouri Valley to do it.
1t is very good policy for man to
attend to his own business and let
other people alone.

AMONG the measures that

AMONG the measures that will
shortly come before the legislature is
one providing for the establishment of
county agricultural schools. State
Superintendent Harvey is drafting a
bill that will provide for these schools
in two counties of the state The
counties that apply and are in the
greatest need of the schools will be
first accommodated. It is the inten-
ton eventually to establish them in
every county in the state. The plan
is to have the counties in which they
are located submit to the state, an
nuallv, a statement of the expenses of
the school and the state to then pay
half of the expense. By this means it
is hoped to eventually establish a
complete system of schools that will
relieve the big demand now being
made on the College of Agriculture of
the University of Wisconsin. These
semi-state schools at the same time
will make it far more convenient for
farmer boys to attend whereas now
thew must come to Madison if they
would receive course in the college.

that our present senatorial district is

opinion of The Times. Somebody is
bound to be dissatisfied, no matter
what the conditions be.
