One thing we are very much inn
pressed with, and that Is the amount
of work that is gratuitously given by
the 203 officers and 1852 teachers OF
Iowa County Sunday Schools. Un-
ceasingly ffty-two times year, with
out any financial reward, often ex.
pending their means for helps in pre-
paration for their work, they give
their best energies and talents for the
upbuilding of pure and upright
character in the minds OF the rising
generation.
Weak and erring as so many are
even with the teachings of this efficient
corps Of Sunday School workers,
what would be the condition of Iowa
county, and the entire country, If the
great army of Sunday School teach
ers should cease teaching in Bible
schools, and religious training were

to the Sunday Schools, which goes 70
show that this county is getting to the
front In Sunday School work.
From the statistics gathered by Sec.
Fred T.. Cork and printed on the OPP

there are are in the county 81 Sunday
Schools, 1922 scholars. with an aver
age attendance Of 1855, with 2n2 off,
GERS and 3o2 teachers.
We understand that this is the FIRST

THE roasting Roethe received from
the press has been figured up by him
in his paper, the Fennimore Times
in this way:
Let us figure it up: 5000 worth of
advertising IN the Sentinel, 5000 in
the Free Press, 5000 in the other Mil
waukee papers, 5000 In the Chicago
papers, 5000 in other state dailies,
and So to $40 in the week lies--jus for
Il rough cstimate-would amount to
approximately 5000 in advertising
that we received the past two weeks.
or course we are out the $500 in cash
but, at the rate new subscribers are
coming in, we hope to be able to soon
make that up. Who says advertising
does not pay?

ANOTHER SNAP CONVENTION.

Above is call for republican
congressional convention for the Bird
district. Notwithstanding the vigoi-
Gus protests entered against the in
novation of holding the convention
at the unusual time OF early spring
two years ago. the unwarranted'and
unjustiiiable proceeding is repeated.
This is clearly in the interest of the
sitting member, and as If his wishes
and convenience were, In the estima
tion Of the committee, prior and para
mount to the wishes or convenience
Of the people. At this time there is
manifest no disposition to contt st
Mr.. Babcock's denomination, but
what the situation NIGH, be three or
four months later, when his record
for the congressional term is more
developed, no one can tell. The nm
due haste of getting him re-nominat-
ed arouses suspicion that his cham
pions fear possibility that his course
during the intervening months may
not be such as 10 leave bin as strong
with his constituents as now. 70
hnve deferred the convention until
the usual time would have avoided
possibility Of such suspicion.
No one can give reason, indepen-
dent of consideration for personal
political advantage, for holding a
convention in this district six months
in advance of the election No time
OF the year could be - inconvenient
for IA rural populs tion, such ms that
of the Third District, for the holding
OF caucuses and county conventions.
From now until the middle of April
the weather is almost sure To be in
element and country reads difficult
To travel. Within the same time
farmers must take advantage of ev-
cry favorable day TO do their plant
ing and other spring work. At this
time of the year people generally
are not advised as they will be three
months later, concerning political
affairs, and sake less interest In them.
For these and other reasons caucuses
VIII be- but SHINY attended, and in
some towns none at all will be held
rs was the case two years ago, and
county and congressional conven
tions will fail of being representa-
tive bodies, and their action will

insists that all government lands not

required improvements the settler can
obtain title by payment Of 25c per
acre for 320 acres allotted to him. Ir-
