through the great wheat fields
where the soil is SO luxuriant
that even land values have gone
sky-high in the past 10 years.
Crops are looking the best they
have been for many years, and
only continued Wetness or grass
hoppers can prevent the expected
big yield. By the way, a good
harvest is almost as important to
Bemidji as to our westward
neighbors.

say of Perupa:
s'Ailow me to express my gratitude

and now consider myseifa well man
after months of suffering. Fellow
sufferers, Peruna will cure you."
Catarrh is systemic disease curabls
only by systematic treatment. A remedy
that cures catarrh must aim directly at
the depressed nerve centers. This is what
Peruna does. Peruna Immediately invigor.
ates the nerve-centers which give vitality to
the mucous membranes. Then catarrh dis
appears. Then catarrh is permanently cured.
Peruna cures catarrh wherever located.
Peruna is not guess nor an experimental

has no substitutes-no rivals. Insist upon
having Perupa.

DR.. A. c. True, the director of the
ONCE of experimental stations, will Say
in his annual report concerning nature
studies:
I'm number Of states a movement
for the introduction of nature study in
the rural schools is in progress. In
this movement the agricultural COL
leges are taking prominent part. The
public is being shown that the teach
ing young children regarding the nat
ural objects and phenomena about
them, may be SO conducted as to lead
them to see that a knowledge Of nature
may be of practical benefit. Their
minds will thus be early trained to
recognize the intimate relations be-
tween scientific and practical knowl-
edge as applied to the art of agricul-
ture. Without doubt this will lead to
desire on the part Of many young
people to undertake courses OF study
in Agricultural schools and colleges
The nature study movement Wiz. thus
contribute to broader development of
agricultural education" Guy e.

"Reform' in Iowa.
Cedar Rapids Republican.

When gentlemen talk about the ne
cessity of reform in Iowa it savirs q
good deal of hypocrisy, to say the
least. 1t reminds us of a speech that
Bob Ingersoll made in the presiden-
tial campaign of 1880.
Taking note of the democratic slo-
gan of that year, Hancock and Re-
form" the great campaigner said:
That's old. | have seen it and
heard it many times. | was down in
New York in 1868 and everywhere
were to be seen streamers bearing
the words: Seymour and Reform
In 1872 it was "Greely and Reform
In 1875 it was "Tilden and Reform. .
Now it's Hancock and Reform" And
growing confidential with his audience
the colonel said: "My friends, I will
tell just what this reform business
means. 1t simply means that these
fellows on the outside, want to get
their hands into the treasury" And
with that Colonel Ingeroll held ur
his hands, which were by no means
small, and looking at them deprecat
ingly, said: "Moy God, what hands!"
Now it cannot be said of course
that our Iowa reformers want to gel
their hands into the treasury, in or
der to loot it or to be extravagant, Oh
anything of that kind. At the mos
it is simply a plain case of the outs
wanting to get in. But it is not that
Many of these so-called "reformers'
have been and still are part and par
eel of the state government No one
could find fault with them for having
ambition for leadership. But VIII,
be hypocritical about it. Why tall
about crying necessity for reform
when there is no call for such al
| implied accusation.
Among all the states of the union
where is there one whose political re
cord is SO clean? This state has new
| err been boss-ridden. Not once has 4
ever been represented in either house
| of congress by a mere money-bags, 1

who enjoys the income therefrom for
| life and which descends to his sue
cessor. These crown lands yield a
vast revenue and have been the prop
lerty of the sovereigns of English roy
atty for centuries. For the first time
in English history, William " made
an agreement with parliament to turn
over the income of the crown lands
during his lifetime to the nation, in
lieu of an annuity of $500 900.
When Victoria succeeded him on the
throne, like bargain was made on
her part with parliament, except that
her annuity was s2,O0O,O0O. d During
the last twenty-five years of her reign
the income of the crown lands in
creased enormously in value, SO that
| it is estimated that the kingdom made
net profit of over S30O00,000 out of
the transaction. With her death, the
agreement lapsed and King Edward
now receives the income from these
crown lands instead OF an annuity
| 1t is estimated that the income from
this royal property now exceeds 49,
100000, and that if an agreement is
entered into between the king and
parliament for an annuity in lieu
thereof, that the king will probably re-
ceive about $S,OO0O0O as his annuity.
But the royal family owns these lands
on the same principle that the nobility
own their dukedoms and earldoms and
are not therefore salaried as are our
Executives.
