DR.. Henry Van Dyke tells the fd
lowing story:
A well-known professor of literature
at an American university was talking
with his wife one morning at the
breakfast table about the relative
merits of prose and verse as forms Of
expression. His two children, Walter
and Maud, aged seven and six, respec.
lively, were sitting quietly and ap
parently paying no attention to tha
conversation, when all at once the lit
lie girl looked up inquiringly and
said
Papa, what are proes, anyway"
Before the father had time to al
swer the boy spoke up. with q sup4
rior smile:
Prose? Don't you know what
prose are? Why, they're those little
animals that go around without feet

Hogs Going Down.

The past few weeks have witnessed a
phenomenal decline in the price Of hogs,
and the buyers have had to dodge lively
to keep from getting caught in the
slump.
Nearly every day sees the market de-
cline from five to fifteen cents, and the
price in this county is now down to
$3.50, just half what it was few months
ago, and the prospects are that the
price will go still lower. This means
that many farmers who have been feed
ing fifty cent corn to hogs are going to
lose money on them. Evidently many
of them are trying to get from under
before the market goes still lower for
there is great run of hogs in the Chi
cago market every day.
But there is one thing we can't un-
derstand, and that is why the price of
bacon and other cured meats should
stay up so high. Bacon is selling at 25
cents pound, the same as, when the
packers were paying seven and eight
cents for hogs. There's something
wrong here.

IOWA LEADS ON coRh,s
Has Produced ,465, ,9O6. 800 Bush
els OF Corn in Last Five Years.

Des Moines, Nov. 21-The productive
ness of the five great corn states in re-
Eg@rd to staple crops is interestingly
shown in table which has been COM
piled by Director j. r. Sage of the state
weather and crop service not to be in
cluded in his report, but merely for a
study of conditions. This gives the
crops of Iowa, Illinois. Missouri, Neb-
raska and Kansas, the corn belt states,
for period of five years.
According to this, Iowa is more than
ever before shown to be king of the
corn regions, for during the past five
years at no crop season has the state
failed to produce 3OO,OOO,OOO bushels Of
corn, and it has during the period pro-
duced more corn than any Of the other
states. 1t has fallen below the others
in wheat and oats. In the five years
Iowa produced 1,465, 5,9O6,36O bushels Of
corn; Illinois, 1921, ,74S,0O0; Missouri,
2S9,025,550; Nebraska, 955, 100000, and
Kansas, 818,646,0O0.

Why Not the Man Also.

EDITOR REpoRTER:-I the article in
your paper giving an account of the
deplorable affair of the widow meeting
a business man at his place of business,
is contained these lines: "The widow
has been ordered to leave town Or there
will be something more doing" We
women think it just and right that some
of the men of Leon who are equally
guilty should be ordered to step down
and out also. 1t seems strange that a
sinful woman should be trampled in the
dust while the man in the case is given
the friendly hand and bidden God speed.
1t is time the same high standard be
set for man as for woman, and that he
learn that he too must live virtuous,
noble life, if he would have the respect
OF true women and men.
SOME WOMEN OF LEON,

A Journal Reminder.

EDITOR REPORTER: the people
who were disappointed over the re-
suits of the recent election will face
the future cheerfully if Mr.. Bruce will
refrain from publishing his diatribes,
such as calling voters traitors because
they refused to support a ticket that
was launched upon them by few re-
publican conspirators, who, after get
ting in Office thought they owned the
party, breeches and all. If the editor
of the Journal would hold his peace and
use his influence to have none but the
best men put in nomination for county
Offices, he will not only make his paper
more readable, but more appreciative
by those who are as loyal to princi-
pies of republicanism as he is, but who
believe that the republican party has
plenty of good men to choose from with
out supporting the wiseacres who are
ashamed to publish their names in the
columns of the county papers that they
are the candidates for selection, but
sneak in and plug caucuses and manipu-
late conventions for their own greed.

No Woman Suffrage In Iowa.

The Cedar Rapids Republican de-
clares that there is no use talking about
woman suffrage in Iowa at the present
time. 1t says that
If ever the suffragists had a chance,
they had it in the last legislature. There
were a few quite influential men who
favored them in the senate two years
ago, and they mustered sixteen votes
for their resolution. Nearly all of these
men have dropped out of legislative
places. Two years ago the house in
definitely postponed the bill, without as
much as referring it to committee.
That will be about the way the matter
will be disposed of this winter.
The Republican also notes that there
is general disposition on the part of
public men in Iowa to put an end to the
various forms of freakishness; that we
had some experince along that line, be-
ginning some twenty odd years ago,
and the state suffered immeasurably
because of it. "Even if the legislature
should pass the resolution twice and
submit it to the people, said the Re-
publican, ''it would be overwhelmingly
beaten. Neither the republican nor
the democratic party care to have any
thing to do with it," Further than this,
and most important of all, majority of
s;.Ae women of Iowa have no interest
-whateyer in the matter. The Republi-
can concludes therefore that in the
present state of public opinion woman
suffrage is an utter impossibility and is
for the time being at least a dead issue.
The Republican has correctly stated
the situation as it exists. The women
of Iowa will get the ballot when they
want it, but not before then.

A Thanksgiving Surprise

The pastor of the Methodist church
at Decatur City and his family have
especial cause for thankfulness at this
season when all are counting their
mercies.
On Thanksgiving evening about thirty
Of the members and friends of the
church visited the parsonage all ladened
with pound of something to be left as
substantial souvenir of their call.
The opportunity to become better ac-
quainted with so considerate people
was much appreciated by the pastor
and family as well as the generous
pounds" left behind. After pleasant
social time the company returned to
their homes assured of the gratitude
and thanks of their pastor and his
family.

WILL RESIGN
Will 90 to Des Moines to Become
Senior Member of the Firm of
Parrish, DOweII & Parrish.

The many friends of Hon. r. L. Par
rish will be surprised to learn that he
has definitely decided to resign as one
of the two judges Of the Third Judicial
District, and his resignation will be for
warded to Governor Cummins some time
during the present month. Judge Par
rish received a most tempting offer to
enter the firm of Dowell & Parrish, Of
he has had under advisement for some
weeks, and has decided to accept. The
firm of Dowell & Parrish is composed of
Senator G. G. Dowell and ]. L. Parrish,
a younger brother of the Judge. They
have one of the largest practices in the
city of Des Moines which has increased
to such an extent that another member
was absolutely necessary, and Judge
Parrish will become identified with tho
firm the first Of the coming year as
senior member. the firm name being
Parrish, Dowell & Parrish, being guar
anteed an income exceeding that of a
district judge, which is $4,000 per year,
but out of this Judge must pay his ex-
penses, and as considerable travel is
necessary, this is quite an item.
Judge Parrish was appointed to the
bench in September, 1901, to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation Of
Judge w. Fl. Tedford, of Corydon, being
nominated by the republican judicial
convention at the same time for the un-
expired term. He was renominated and
elected in 1902 for term of four years,
his term expiring Dec. 81, 1906. The
question of his successor has as yet
been given no consideration by Gov.
Cummins, who has not yet received
Judge Parrish's official resignation, but
the opinion of attorneys and politicians
is that w. E. Miller, of Bedford, who
was Judge Parrish's opponent for the
nomination, will receive the appoint
ment.

LEROY, Iowa, Nov. 80, 1908.
Aten-Goodman.

At the residence of the brides par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Aaron Goodman at
8 o'clock Wednesday evening Nov. 26th,
Mr.. Edward II. Aten and Miss Clara F.
Goodman, were married, the Rev. r. w.
Taylor, pastor Of the Presbyterian
church of Pocahontas, Iowa, officiating.
The above was the occasion of a most
pleasant gathering of relatives at the
pleasant home of Mr.. Goodman Prompt
ly at 6 o'clock the wedding march was
played by Miss Mary Gates, cousin of
the bride, at the close Of which the
bride and groom entered the parlor,
preceded by Rev. Taylor, and took their
position under an arch of flowers and
evergreens in front of large double
window. The ceremony was very i'm
pressive and was responded to in clear
affirmation of both parties. After the
congratulations bountiful and elegant
wedding supper was served, after which
the bride and groom departed for the
west part of the state to visit relatives
a few days.
| The happy young couple were the
recipients of many beautiful and useful
presents. They will make their home
on the grooms farm south of Garden
Grove.

Will MEET
The Decatur County Farmers lnsti-
tute will Meet Next Week--A I.
Splendid Program. :

The annual meeting of the Decatur
County Farmers Institute will be held
at the court house in Leon on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday, Dec. 10, II and Il.
The program as arranged is one of the
best ever held in southern Iowa, and
embraces speakers of state wide repu-
tation on subjects of vital interest to
the farmers and stock raisers of this
county. At this session of the institute
there will be present Prof. Holden, the
great corn expert from the State Agri-
cultural College at Ames, Prof. Sum-
mers, professor of Ethnology at the
same institution and Miss Alice Mer-
ritt, superintendent of the Woman's De-
partment at the State Agricultural Col
lege. The list of local speakers COM
prises many of the most successful and
best posted farmers Of this county, who
will freely give all the benefit of their
experience in the various lines in which
they have been successful and made
money. There are also several papers
OF interest to farmers wives, and the
ladies are urged to attend the sessions.
There will be good music and nothing
will be left undone to make the session
a pleasant and profitable one for those
who attend. The farmer is the one who
receives the benefit of the institute,
and it is strange that more farmers do
not attend. Heretofore the attendance
has been small. Let there be change
this year and every farmer who can
possibly attend should be present. 1t
is true it takes time when farmer is
busy, but it will be time well spent, and
the farmer who attends will receive
more than value received.
