WHAT EDUCATION MEANS TO THE
RURAL DISTRICTS.

Poor and Ignorant Peasantry Where
There Should be Prosperous and In
dependent Farmers-A Strong Letter
from Superintendent Joyner.
Nj. G. II. Poe, Editor of The Pro
gressive Farmer.
Dear Sir:-I desire to thank you
for the excellent educational gospel
that your paper is SO effectively
preaching to the farmers.
About e~ighty-two per cent of our
people dwell in the country and en-
gage in agricultural pursuits. I'm
der present conditions the rural pub
lie school is the chief hope of educat-
ing the rural population. The best
people of all classes are going to re-
side where they can get the best OPP
portunities for their children. The
only hope, therefore, of keeping such
people on their farms is to be found
in the improvement of the public
school. These rural schools must be
made adequate to the educational
needs of the people and equal in mer-
it to the best public schools of the
towns and cities before we can hope
to stop the disastrous annual drains
upon the best blood of the country
by these towns andcitiasc: In rocks
andtEG9es, and streams, and hills, and
wales, and fields, and flowers, Nature
has provided in the country better
companions, better object lessons and
better materials for education than
can possibly be found or supplied in
the towns and the cities.
There is no reason why man should
not supply there in the heart of Ma
ture, schools that shall offer as good
educational facilities as are to be
found in town or city. With such
schools, the country would be the
ideal place for the education of men.
Without such schools, it is but a
question of time when the best of the
country population will leave the
country and when there shall be left
in u rural districts only the poor
est peasant population, too ignorant
to know the value and the blessing
of an education and too indifferent
to are to secure it for their off
spring.
This must not happen in North
Carolina. The history of all civil
cation plainly declares that the
greatest calamity that can befau any
land is the deterioration or the de-
struction of it's bold peasantry.
bid you Godspeed in the splendid
educational work of your paper. I
assure you that it shall be my earn
est and constant effort to secure for
the children in the country, schools
that shall be as good as any in the
land.
Very truly yours,
J. Y. JOINER,
Superintendent Public Instruction.

rearance that MIR. Ross is nearly a
years of age. He is wonderfully active
and rarely misses a day from his office
Mr.. Ross is Mason and member of
the First Presbyterian church. He was
q sufferer from dyspepsia until he heard
of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. The follow
ing is his opinion of the remedy which
has done 30 much for him:
For several years, ], Thomas L. Ross,
also my wife. Lydia L. Ross, both of
Topeka, Kas., suffered with that terrible
malady known as dyspepsia or indiges-
ton.
1--WE commenced to use Kodol Dyspep-
ella Cure on the recommendation of our
druggist After taking one dose, and in
side of short time. all of those terrible
pains and dyspepsia torments had
passed away. My appetite, also my
wife's, came back and our food could be
enjoyed as when we were 81. I am now
turning a years of age.
II have not suffered one day with my
stomach since commenced to use Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure. and / recommend it to
all of my fellow citizens to do you good,
and endorse Kodol Dyspepsia Cure

THE DISTRICT JUDeEsHlp.
A Benton County View of the Situation
In This District.

In This District.
The Belle PLANE Union, published in
Benton county. the home county of
Judge Burnham. has this to say of the
judicial candidates and the situation
thus early In the campaign:
Tho the time for the selecting the
candidates for judicial honors in the
Seventeenth district. which includes
Benton, Tama and Marshall, Ia still
several months in the future, as the
convention will not be held till late In
the summer, aspirants for the honors
are bobbing up. The first name to be
presented Is that of Hon. E. c. Ebersole
of Toledo, who is best known as the au-
thor of THE Iowa Peoples Law Book"
Tama county will likely have another
candidate in the person Of j. ]. Willets
of Tama. whose name has often been
connected with the judgeship.
Judge Burnham, whose term ex-
pires. has served two full terms on the
bench. while his colleague, Judge Cas-
well. of Marshalltown. has served but
one and half terms. He was elected
to the bench following the act of the
Twenty sixth general assembly which
added Marshall county to the district,
and so has not served two full terms
and his friends may ask that he be
given another nomination.; and If Tama
county republicans cannot settle their
differences before convention time Ben
ton county may be enabled to name the
other candidate. However. convention
day is long ways in the future and
speculations as to the results are idle"

Executive Committee OF State
League to Meet Here to Ar.

Iowa bowlers have before them today

Monday night in the capital city, when
Club, of Des Moines. by 121 pins. Mr..
Frank Haas, of the Marshalltown team,
made a grand average of 200 3-5 IN the
five games, which is the highest aver
age ever made in The state in five
man team contest for five games.
BOWERS, in order to equal it, may be
tempted to submit to the amputation of
the middle ring and small fingers of
the right hand, as Haas is cripple,
and has but the thumb and index fling
er on his bowling hand Even in this
condition. however, 1t is asserted that
Des Mcines never saw such phenome-
nal work on the alleys, and that other
match games in progress at the Jrant
Club rooms were suspended in order to
watch the work of the Marshalitown
man.
Marshalltown won four out of the
five games Saturday evening. and Haas
started the first game by making seven
strikes in succession. rolling up total
score of 256. out of the possible 800.
The game was late in being called. as
the team didn't arrive in Des Moines
until $50. The playing began at 10
and was finished shortly after mid
night. Owings was second high man in
the visiting team, quitting with an av-
erage of ia As. 1t is said that the
contest was one of the best ever Wit

WORST OF THE SEASON.
High Wind and Severe Cold Combine
to Make Irouble-Traffic DELAYED.

A heavy fall of snow was all that
was lacking to make the storm OF
Monday night and this morning full
fledged blizzard. The bowling north
west wind caused big fall in the tens
perature. 10 below zero being regis
tered this morning. AS it was the
light snow of the preceding afternoon
drifted badly and railway and street
ear traffic was more or less affected.
1t was expected on the railroads
that more than the ordinary amount of
trouble on cold mornings. following a
high wind would be encountered. but
for the most part the snow did not
bother much. The Central got its
morning trains in in fairly good sea-
son, No. ] north being on time and No.
6, south, an hour late. owing to a de-
lay at Hampton by a snow pillow train.
1t was an ideal night to cause
trouble, and the lack of snow was the
only thing that prevented the cuts
all being filed this morning. The
wind blew a gale across the broad
sweeps of prairie, and in some places
necessitated shoveling. The Newton
branch suffered worst and few de-
lays were caused.
Anticipating trouble in the cuts Su-
perintendent Huntington ordered out
men with shovels on number of the
trains. but in most cases the snow
plows on the engines were sufficient to
remove the small drifts. No. l didn't
wait for the Wabash connection at
Abba this morning. the train from the
south being reported anywhere from
two to three hours late.
The Northwestern's trains from the
east of course suffered some because
of the high wind from the west. which
had to be faced all night by the heavy
thru trains. No. 3, the Pacific express,
was sent west in two sections each
of which ran from half to an hour
late.
The Great Westerns trains from the
east were also delayed some by the
wind.

ing the economic status of woman'S la
Dor performed under the terms of the

an is compelled to believe either
that matrimony is not a sound business
proposition, so far as she is concerned,
or that there is mistake in the logic
that establishes the wife's occupation
as a not gainful pursuit" The as
sumption is that the work woman
does for her husband without wages is
not gainful for the reason that 1t is not
pursued to the end of the money thus
