trade. They know that the farmers
must stay at home If crops are put in,
and harvest comes to Iowa. But this
year every day has been like Sun
day for longer period than usual. In
the first place. men to work on farms
are literally not to be had. Twenty five
dollars, s27 and even $50 month and
found" does not bring the laborers to
the farm. One sees notices stuck up in
postoffices and depots. Men Wanted
at $1.75 to 50 for railroad work, and
altho 1T is harder work than farming,
still when they are thru with days
work they are THRU" and nights and
Sundays are their own. So the farmer,
using more machinery each year. puts
the 6-year-oid boy on the seat of the
disc pillow, the harrow or the gang plow,
even gets the girls ito drive the seed
err" and later on the corn planter stays
at home and does more work himself,
and thus the poor merchant has time
himself to make garden. while the clerk
can pitch quoits or throw ball to the
other clerk up the street, such recrea-
ton only occasionally being interrupt
ed by some youngster wanting "a cents
worth of candy" Meanwhile the far
mer comes in for the necessary sup
plies towards night, and these days
impresses us with the foreboding that
unless we get rain soon Iowa will not
have any hay this year" His small
grain has not sprouted yet and things
are in bad way. Just the same, $50
an acre won't buy that farm on which
nothing will be raised this year.

OF course those of us who believe in

The Late Afkman Canadian.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal.
The Journal of the 10th announced the
death of the Hon. Altman Carnahan, Of
Washington. Daviess county. Comrade
Carnahan found his way into the Union
army as soon as he could. Having served
one enlistment, he re-enlisted in July, 1862.
and served as second lieutenant in Captain
Wirt's company of the One-hundred and
seventeenth Indiana. The Journal says he
died of stomach trouble. and this is not sur
prising when the starvation experienced by
that regiment and the three others COM
posing the Persimmon brigade is recalled.
When that enlistment ended he went as a
substitute for an uncle who had been draft
ed and served as a private soldier. That is
one of the greatest acts of personal self
sacrifice that ever came under my notice.
His uncle was poor man with dependent
family. Comrade Carnahan was willing to
take the gibes and slurs the volunteers
heaped on the conscripts. He was a true.
sincere, honorable man in every relation in
life, and it is not surprising that the Journal
could say Ibis election was personal vic
