Some of the country newspapers Of
northern Iowa are inclined to think too
much talk is being made over high
meat prices In number of the towns
and villages all cuts of beef, mutton
and veal are selling at the same prices
which prevailed a year ago, while the
cost of the meat on the hoof has been
materially increased to the meat man.

Mississippi pearl and shell fishermen
are shipping clam shells to Germany
to button manufacturers. Scarcely
anything is allowed to go to waste in
this unitarian age. Even the loath-
some looking mud turtle is shipped east
to be made into turtle soup. and the
turtle catching industry is said to be
remunerative. The turtles are barreled
and shipped alive.
As an experiment James j. Davidson,
OF Swedesboro, N. j., recently shipped
three barrels of sweet potatoes to Lon

the third in tissue paper, the same as

The Baskerville Republican thinks
the modesty of Emmett county politi-
clans awful" 1t says: There seems
to be a dearth of candidates for the Of
fees in this county. A clerk, recorder
and auditor are to be elected, but so ia.
no one has announced his desire for
either place. In adjoining counties the
woods are full OF hungry office seek

The Mapleton Press imagines it
would not relish being a preacher and
have folks say: He is not much of a
preacher, but he is the best we can af-
! ford"
| The Creston Advertiser, speaking of
women's clubs turnout Iowa, thinks st
is safe to say that the subjects which
are discussed by these organizations
and the course of study taken up will
rank very favorably with those of any
society in the east. The reading public
in Iowa has long been recognized as the
best patrons of the high class maya

Little Dorothy is Z years old. She was
naughty the other day, and her mother
told her that she would have to ask
God to forgive her. The penitent little
girl got down on her knees by her
mothers side, and after she had prayed
in silence short time, arose.
and did God forgive you?" asked the
mother.
No." replied Dorothy; "He said He
was bizzy and asked me to call again"

that the daughter may 60. She
gives up society and makes over her
old gowns so that the young woman
may go out every night and have
more new frocks. When there are
men callers In the evening she cleV-
erly or awkwardly Git depends on her
training) efaces herself, and goes off
to bed or to read alone in the kitchen.
When it comes to summer holidays;
more than often it is the girl who
goes to the mountains or sea-shore,
while the mother stays at home.
Sometimes the young woman takes
a money-getting position, works dur
ing the day, plays the lady in the
evening, and spends her salary on
herself, while the mother stays closer
at home than ever, and does the
drudgery. IF you will think over the
women you know you will find that in
all of these ways, or in several of
them, the mother is the slave of the
daughter.
We all like Miss America, and We
all admire her and know that much
of her charm is due to her freedom;
but there may be too much of a good
thing, and the American mother
should have some privileges. She
should not be allowed to work her
self into an early old age merely that
her daughter may clothe herself in
fine linen and read novels in a ham
mock.-The December Woman's
Home Companion.

The Secret of a Long and Happy Life.
You sometimes e a woman whose
old age is as exquisite as was the per-
feet bloom of her youth, says the
Pittsburg Dispatch. You wonder
how this has come about. You won
der how it is her life has been a long
and happy one. Here are some of
the reasons:
She knew how to forget disagreed
bic things.
She kept her nerves well in hand,
and inflicted them on no one.
She mastered the art of saying
pleasant things.
She did not expect too much from
her friends.
She made whatever work came to
her congenial.
She retained her illusions, and did
not believe the world wicked and un-
kind.
She relieved the miserable and
~sympathized with the sorrowful.
She never forgot that kind words
and a smile cost nothing, but are
priceless treasures to the discour-
aged.
She did unto others as she would
be done by, and now that old age has
come to her, and there is a halo of
white hair about her head, she is
loved and considered. This is the
secret of a long life, and a happy
one.

REVOLUTION

A sure sign of approaching revolt
and serious trouble in your system
is nervousness, sleeplessness, or
stomach upsets. Electric Bitters
viii quickly dismember the trouble
some causes. Tt never fails to tone
the stomach, regulate the Kidneys
and Bowels, stimulate the Liver, and
clarity the blood. Rundown systems
benefit particularly and all the usual
attending aches vanish under it's
searching and thorough effectiveness.
Electric Bitters is only SOC, and that
is returned if it don't give perfect
satisfaction. Guaranteed by all

The Mother the Slave of the Daughter.
This is a word about mothers and
daughters. To some minds it appears
that the daughters are not always as
careful of their parents as they
should be. The modern mother seems
to us in great danger of being
abused. Once her daughter comes
upon the stage in long skirts, the
former abdicates. All the household
shapes itself for the girl, and she
takes this as her right. This good
mother lets her lie abed in the morn
ing, and then has a warm breakfast
for her when she gets up. The moth
er stays home from the play in order

A Live Town.

"What kind of a town have you here?o asked the tourist.
 "Lively !" enthusiastically said the landlord of the Atlantic and Pacific hotel at Boomopolis, Okla- homa. lively, stranger. Thar's s a Iynchin' most every night, and balls, tins, tar and feather in's and other ralIikaboos about as often as you can turn out to 'em. A couple were married in a balloon last week, two prom inent preachers shot each other considerably at the Sabbath pie nic, day before yesterday, there was a cyclone less than a month ago. Buildings are being erect ed right along and we've got an enthusiastic county seat fight on hand all the time; there's a show in the opery house once in 8 while, the o. K. barber shop put in a bath tub recently and tue postoffice was burglarized a spell ago. The building was flung half way across the street, the safe blown wrong side out, and the children have been busy ever since picking postage stamps off the gum weeds whur the wind distributed 'em. You can get any kind of a game you like at any time or stir up any kind of trouble in a minute by just Iettin' your wants be known. They call this yere town the Paris of Okla homa and don't you forget it. y

Earth is Moving Slower.

An exchange figures like this: We all know the earth revoives on it's ax is once in twenty four hours. Millions of years ago the day was twenty two hours, mill- ions of years before that it was twenty-one hours. As we look back into time we find the earth revolving faster and faster. There was a time ages ago when the earth rotating in q day of five or six hours. It could revolve no faster than this and remain a single unbroken mass.
 When our day was only five hours long the moon was in con- tact with the earth surface. It has just broken away from it's parent mass. As the length of the terrestrial day increased so did the distance of the moon. Whenever the rotation time of the planet is shorter than the period of revolution of the satel- ite, the effect of the mutual ac- tion is to accelerate the motion of the satellite and to force it to move in 8 larger orbit-to increase it's distance therefore.
 The day of the earth is now shorter than the month-the period of revolutiOn-Of the moon. The moon is therefore, slowly re- ceding from us, and it has been for centuries. But the day of the earth is, as we have seen, growing longer. The finger of the tides is always pressing upon the rim of our huge flywheel, and slowly but surely lessening the speed of it's rotation. So long as the terrestrial day is shorter than the lunar month of the moon it will continue to recede from us.

nursing babe, her breasts refusing to yield other sustenance for the starving child.
 EIn Fulton county a close esti- mate shows some HOO families in this destitute condition; in Izard there were even moro, while in Sharp and Independ- ence the aggregate is large. l understand portions of Baxter have many of these suffering families, but these I did not see to know personally nothing about them.
 ssBut in Izard and Sharp there must come help, and that right away. The American people have shown they are generous, and need only to be told of the extreme need of aid. Twenty car loads of flour and bacon would afford temporary relief. l say flour because corn meal would be divided with the cattle in their efforts to carry the ani- malls through until grass comes.
 ''These people are hungry, in some instances very many, are starving, those who have plenty should give and that, too, im- mediately. It is no use thinking of the poor in India, our people have a right to your assistance.

 Farmers, now that the long looked for railroad has come, sell off your surplus land. It brings you no income. You have to pay taxes on it. Unless it produces you something, it is an expense to you. Some farmers are seeing the point and already some of the larger farms have been divided up into two and three farms.
 Sending his products to other markets puts the farmer into com petition with the more progress i've farmer, if such there be, there- fore considerable attention should be given to varieties, quality, etc., of his farm products. This must necessarily change the farmers former methods. He must grow such articles of agriculture and horticulture as will readily go into the markets. He must profit by experience and observation. There must be no lethargy on his part. He must not expect the railroads to gather his crops and find a market for his surplus. He must be thoroughly conversant with what to plant, and it's adaptability to his soil; just the same as the successful merchant who buys goods to sell. He buys onl y such goods as he can sell again.
 The proper transformation in the farmers condition will not have reached a climax until a community of interests have been established between the farmer and the merchant.
 Now that the farmer has a rail- road to haul his raw materials to other markets to be put into the manufactured product, again to be handled by the railroad and hauled to the consumer, only to find it's way back, possibly, to the same farmer, why not save all these freights and middle-men s profits to the farmer and merchant at home? It can be done. The business men can build factories, canning estab- lishments, evaporators, etc., and the farmer can keep them all rum hing during their season. These establishments will employ home labor, furnish the local trade and ship the surplus to the best mar kets.
