Ougub IO DS very IuIr uuu TeiSOu'
able. For instance, no m uch corn
will one acre OF Iowa land produce ?
How much grain, or how much oi
any other product? What is this
product worth at the local market ?
Now how much corn, or any other
crop will one acre of Hand county
land produce? And what is it
worth at the local market? Isn't
that fair comparison
Will one acre of Iowa land produce
60 bushels of corn? At the present
prices that would be worth $50
wouldn't it? Now last year Harlan
Woodruff produced 40 bushels of
corn per acre on his Hand county
farm. Others produced from 20 to
40. Suppose We make all possible
allowances to satisfy the conserva-
tive, the pessimist, il you please =
and say Hand county land will pro
duce, has produced, can produce
% bushels OF corn per acre. What's
it worth, 40 cents? Corn has sold
for 45 in Miller, but we are trying
to hedge against any objections OF
the man who wont believe because he
don't want to-so ecall it 40 cents.
That gives us so for the product
one acre in Hand county;-although
rem ember, Harlan Woodruff, and
perhaps Others, got 40 bushels, or
$1,000 per acre. Now we have
Iowa's greatest crop, corn, at $50
per acre, and we have the same crop
in Hand county at SO per acre or
one third that OF Iowa. Why isn't
Hand county's acre worth one third
OF the Iowa acre? All, there's the
cream in the cocoanut. If Iowa $
acre is worth $50 and produces $50
in corn, and Hand county's acre
produces so in same crop, same
work, etc, why isn't Hand county's
acre worth one third of Iowa's viz
$26.66 per acre?
II this don't suit you take any
other product and compare the
same way. Or il you insist on 80
bushels as Iowa's maximum, worth
$40, we have an equal right TO
claim our own as 30 bushels, at Sl5
or x as much as Iowa. Thus we
have a comparative price of $50 per
acre COR Hand county land-ofIowa'
best.crop. We doubt if the compar-
ison would be SO favorable to Iowa
on any other product, wheat, oats,
barley, potatoes, hay, or anything
the two states grow. Now dear
readers, if this isn't a fair compara-
tive value of Iowa and Hand county
land, why isn't it? And don't you
belive that prices must sooner or
later come to this comparative val
ue in land just like we compare any
thing else? We say product is
worth SD much in Iowa. add so
much here, merely because Iowa
has a bigger market OF her own, IS
closer TO other markets, and has
better facilities for reaching matk-
cts; now why won't that comparison
maintain in land?
After such deductions, which
seems to us to be fair, the Press be-
lieye, honestly and sincerely, that if
Iowa land is really worth from $50
to $50 per acre, Hand county land
is really worth $40 to $40 per acre
the one possible point OF excep-
tions which the writer is willing t)
admit, being the greater desire
ableness of Iowa as place to have
home. And this is merely due to
age, more people, more deyeiop-
ment.--and not to either the pro-
ductiye qualities OF the soil or to
climate.

region. Inc news man probably
thought good thing would bear
repetition, especially if varied a
little. But speaking of rare decisions
by peace justices, Marshal Hanson
might have picked up one that
really did occur some years ago in
Brownsville, when the late J. /. P.
Franklin was justice of the peace
here. Two Mexican women had
gone to Justice Franklin to get him
to settle a dispute about the owner
ship Of a rooster. He ordered them
to leave the fowl with him, and
said that he would give a decision
later. That evening about dark, he
took the rooster under his arm,
walked to the neighborhood where
the disputants lived-thev were
neighbors-and turned the bird
loose. Ii immediately went to its
accustomed roosting place, and the
judge thereupon decided that the
owner was the one at whose house
the fowl went to roost.

Not Prevent Fits.
DIR. Miles Nervine Cured
My Wife.

DR.. Miles Nervine has been successfully
tried in thousands of cases of nervous disor-
derS, but neyer,has it made better record than
when used in the treatment of fits or spaSms
Thousands of testimonials prove this, and in
nearly every instance the writer has stated
that the fits ceased after the first dose OF Ner-
vine was given. The statement is repeated
in the following:
Seven years ago my wife commenced
having spasms or fits and l called in my
lyzed. He rubbed her with salt water and
gave her calomel and she eventually got
some better, but in a short time she had
another attack. She was confined to her
bed for three months and the doctor could
not help her. She had fits frequently, some
times very severe. Her hands would cramp
SO we could not open them and she finally
got SO her jaws would become locked.
Finally / saw the doctor was doing her no
good and ordered bottle of DR.. Miles Re-
storative Nervine. She received SO much
benefit from the first bottle that / got some
more. She has taken number of bottles
but has never had fit since taking the first
dose. She also thinks very highly of DR..
Miles Nerve and Liver Pills and is never
without them. If there is any way of maxi
ing this testimonial stronger do so because
of the good the DR.. Miles Restorative Nerv-
inc did my wife."-WM. Y. ALLEN, P. NJ.

Mrs Alice Hutchinson Hart.

Mrs Alice H. Hart died at her home on Bsrrackmatiff. in Salisbury. May l5, 1902 She was the only child of William s. Hutchinson, her grandfather being Myron Hutchinson. deacon of the Con gregational Church. She was B person of exceptional vitality, expending great energy in her duties of the home and farm. The villagers often looked upon her with admiration as she drove her spirited black horse with perfect com mand and perfect nerve None would ever have coniectured that her robust health could give way to the insidious attack of tuberculosis. But variety of causes conspired to reduce her strength recently, and at this low point her sys- tenn yielded to the foe. It was only three months before that her nephew, Myron N Clark of Williams College, was laid away from the same homo by the same disease.
 At the beginning of her case Mrs Hart was taken to 8 hospital in Hartford in hope of successful treatment. But all the best skill of the city was sum- moned to her side it was soon seen that resistance was futile. Her heart turned longingly then to her own home, and she was brought hither by special train to breathe her last among her native hills.
 Her robust nature made brave fight for life. She wanted to live. as she said, for the sake of her family and to further the work of the church which she loved, but at the same time she sc quiesced in the will of God.
 Her last days were comforted by the cancellations of her faith. Among other things she said to her pastor, with tri- umphant convection, "I am Gods child"
 The repetition of this dread malady so soon after it's first entrance to the family, caused profound sorrow in the community, and from every side came heartfelt expressions of sympathy t7 the bereaved household The funeral ser- vice was conducted by her pastor at the Hutchinson house on Saturday af- ternoon, May IT. The interment was in the Salisbury cemetery.
 Mrs Hart was married to MT Charles A. Hart on Jan l, 1895 She is survived by her husband and parents. J.o.G
