WHEN MOTHERS AT THE CLUB.

When mothers at the club, then pa
most always has tear;
It's awful Just to hear him rip and
roar and rant and swear.
The baby follows after pa and has a
crying fit,
Pa tries the paregoric first and then
tries spanking it.
Poor Fido hides beneath the stove
and rolls his yellow eyes,
And Polly to her highest perch when
pa gets angry, flies;
But pa he kicks poor .Fido out, and
hits Poll with a towel;
The baby yells and Polly screams and
Fido starts howl.
1t isn't long before the house is one
big rubadub,
guess the neighbors always know
when mothers at the club.
When mothers at the club we don't
get very much to eat;
She hasn't time to fix and fuss when
her committees meet.
She helps to send relief to lands where
pangs of hunger gnaw,
While we must lunch on biscuits tough
and dine on cabbage slaw.
Pa sometimes tries to get meal, but
not with much success
He only wastes lot of stuff and
makes an awful mess.
His biscuits are but sticky dough, his
omelet wreck;
When last he poured the chocolate it
went down baby's neck.
He says, "There's people here at
home for her to furnish grub,
Now left TO slowly starve to DEATH"
while mothers at the club.
When mothers at the club our c othes
are apt to need repair,
And there is something else that makes
poor daddy rant and swear.
He comes home with button off for
her to fasten on;
The sewing circle meets that day and
mother there has gone.
Poor Freddy's coat seems il will hang
no longer on the child,
While mothers busy making clothes
to send to heather wild.
But pa he gets needle and tries to
fix things some,
And pretty soon we hear yell-ha's
run it iu his thumb.
Then everybody has to hunt for lini-
ment to rub
Upon the wound that pas received
while mothers at the club.
When mothers at the club she has to
let her washing slide,
And that helps cause profanity, and
laundry bills beside.
The other day, just as she got her
rinsing water set,
She had to let the washing stand while
some committee met.
When pa came home at o'clock he
never said a word,
But all the awful things he looked I'm
glad never heard.
He went down in the kitchen and be-
gan to prowl around;
A little time and then heard burst
of thunder sound.
Poor pa had stepped upon some soap
and landed in tub;
Oh we do have some awful times when
mothers at the club

GOOD ROADS

Washington Gazette: Every farmer
and farmers family, who enjoy the
benefits and privileges of the rural
mail delivery, wonder how they got
along without 1t before. Ithas proven
to be so satisfactory that any alb
breviation or cessation of this service
would create protest as emphatic
as it would be possible to make it.
Yet every rural route in the country
is in danger. The law establishing
this service says distinctly that the
community which the route traverses
must see that the highways are
always kept not only passable, but in
good order. The government is an
arbitrary master, and stands much
less trifling than municipal or state
corporations. They grant the people
rural mail service because of the
possibilities of prompt and quick
delivery, and such service cannot be
satisfactorily made unless the roads
are in good condition.
The plan the government follows,
when some person informs them that
the highways onsome rural route are
not in good condition, is to send an
unknown inspector to the locality
and he goes over the route with a
team and inspects it. If it is un-
usually bad he simply recommends
that the route be abandoned. There
is no delay about it and no favorit-
ism is shown, Thelaw says the roads
must be made good and kept good II
there is rural mail delivery. The
governments idea Is to make this
delivery prompt, regular and efi-
Client. They cannot do 1t with bad
roads and they won't do 1t,

ent things said at the meeting of the
Woman's Clubs at Council Bluffs
was that by Mrs. Richard Burke of
the Oskaloosa Times and who is
delegate to that convention. They
had under discussion "Manual Train
ing' and Mrs. Senator Garst had just
pictured the same in most glowing
terms and insisted upon it's recon-
mendation in the schools when Mrs.
Burke interposed the question. "Will
manual training do away with the
innumeable fads and take us back to
that which is elemental, or will it
only add another to that burden of
fads which is now depressing teaoh-
er and pupils? l do not believe in
jumping too soon. The trouble with
the public schools now is that they
are too much iammed full of nom
sense"

MAJOR cOgGER.

Major Conger has said, and it has
been published to the State of Iowa,
that he win accept the Republican
nomination for governor If rendered
him, though he cannot owing to his
present position aud environments be
candidate In the sense of making q
"house to house" active campaign
That must be done by his friends.
No one in Iowa will expect such a
campaignl from Major Conger. They
know the man too well. Such a cam
paign viii be unnecessary. He will be
nominated-perhaps by acclamation
-at the Cedar Rapids convention. !.
Major Conger has always been q
republican. He.has always done his
full share in helping his party win
victories. He has never advocated
the election OF a democratic gov
ernor for Iowa and never took the
stump In behalf a democratic gov
ernor and never was candidate for

Office on democratic ticket. With
him as candidate for governor
Iowa republicanism will have no
apologies to make this fall, and no
explanation as to why such things
occurred. Furthermore Major Conger
has been identified with no factional
quarrels-has had no rule or ruin
policies to force upon the party-like
Governor Shaw he is q man OF the
whole people, honest, upright and
just, with no friends to favor and no
enemies to punish-just straight
forward business from beginning to
end doing his whole duty by the
whole people, and with no selfish
ambitions to serve. No man to-day
aside from Leslie M. Shaw has the
confidence and admiration of the
people of Iowa that he has. No man
today-except it be Leslie M. Shaw
for whom the whole people of Iowa
would arise as one man and rejoice
to have as governor.

START A BANK ACCOUNT.

Ladies Home Journal: A savings
bank account is great incentive TO
thrift in children. If one is begun
for the baby, even with very small
sum, and added to through child
hood and youth with a certain pro-
portion of the money that otherwise
would be spent carelessly and
thoug htlessly by the child, there will
be very respectable amount on the
credit side of the ledger when the
depositor is IS years old. The habit
of self-denial is not the least of the
substantial benefits that follow a wise
economy of money.

GOHRT COSTS

The law suit over two cents in
Hardin county again brings to mind
a laxity in our laws which permits
people of quarrelsome tendencies to
air their troubles in court at the
expense of the tax payers. The case
cost the tax payers s3s 90. The theory
of the law intends that every citizen
shall have the right to protection,
but IL is impossible to believe the
aims of justice are subserved in per-
mitting two people who cannot agree
seeking the medium of court to
satisfy desire for revenge for.imagin-
ary grievances.

THAT COMBLNATION HOWL.

New Sharon Star: The Cummins
newspapers at Des Moines, democrat
ic, mugwump and republican, are en-
gagged in unnecessarily misrepresent-
ing R. w. Clayton, our member of the
state central committee. They are
roundly abusing him for being an
anti-Cummins man, and because of
that personal feeling, deliberately
misrepresenting his district by voting
to have the state convention held at
Cedar Rapids instead of In Des
Moines. SO far as Mr.. Clayton's per-
sonal preferences for governor are
we do not know, as we never heard
him express an opinion on that point,
but we do know that he did not vote
in favor of Cedar Rapids without first
making a careful effort to ascertain
the views of many men in every coun-
ty In this district, and he voted as
they desired. Therefore, he did not
misrepresent his district. Des Moines
newspapers are talking through their
socks, because they have lost bone,
but our Clayton is not chumpl He
Is big, broad-minded, whole-souled
republican seeking the highest public
and party good. Evidently he voted
in favor OF Cedar Rapids believing
that there every candidate would
have fair field and a square fight,
and knowing that such could not be
had in Des Moines where every pos
sible effort would be made to compel
the whole state to bow the knee to
the local Baal. Cummins is deserv-
ing Of his friends, has them here and
in every county in the state, and the
same is to be said of every other can
didate. We are friendly to all of them
and antagonistic to none. Clayton
acted discreetly, voted wisely and is
warmly endorsed by the republicans
of this district. Let the mongreI con-
tingent weep alone.

BEST WAY TO BUILD UP BUSI.

. NESS.
Des Moines Register: The very
best plan to build up the towns and
cities of Iowa is to patronize the
dealers who sell Iowa manufactured
goods in preference to all others, or
at least keep the Iowa goods on sale
and give their customers the opportu-
nifty to purchase them. Kansas City
has utilized that loyal and helpful
method to the greatest possible ex-
tent and the result is seen in the
rapidity in which that place is be-
coming one of the principal manu-
featuring cities of the Nation. The
women have become the chief factor
In Kansas City building simply be-
cause they demand Kansas City made
goods. The Des Moines women are
increasing their home made puchas-
ing organization and hope to include
every housekeeper in the city in it's
membership. This plan alone will
increase the labor and business of
Des Moines 20 to 25 per cent within
year, and win give Iowa's metro
polls more than 1000 population
long before the next nationl acensus
is announced, If the association is
made general and is maintained. That
fact is also true of ali other Iowa
cities and towns, not one OF which
yet equals its own natural resources
and productions

Nothing strange about 1t. Each of

vocated or supported democratic

ways worked for the good of the
whole party and not for any faction
ist. But by the way when was the
