CITY NEWS.
SCHOOLS TOO POOR
Argentina No Place for Education
Of Children, Says Mrs. H. B.
Stinson.
Americans Are Corralling the Trade
of the Country in Agricultural
Implements.

Mrs III. B. Stinson of Glenwood, Mimi,
arrived in Minneapolis this morning from
Buenos Aires, Argentine Republic, 5. A.,
where her husband represents the Ad-
vance Thresher company OF Battle Creek,
Mich.
Mrs Stinson went to Buenos Aires with
the idea of making that city her perma-
nent home, but six months in the tropics,
in a city of poor educational facli1tles,
induced her to bring her two small Chill
dren back to a country where they could
learn something besides the three rs
Mrs. Stinson found the climate Of
Buenos Aires pleasant, save for the Ian
guor which is always In the air. and
which affects all foreigners before they
have been in the country long.
All of the large American agricultural
implement houses are represented at
Buenos Aires, and in that respect the
Americans have distanced all competitors,
their products being used almost exclu-
sively in the harvesting of Argentine's
great grain crops.
Zone thing on which the United States
can congratulate ITSELF said Mrs Stinson,
is the great Improvement of our con-
sular service in that part of the globe. Our
representatives at Pernambuco, Bahia,
Montevideo Buenos Aires and other places
which we visited, compare favorably with
the trained specialists from other coun-
tries, who until recent years have set us a
merry pace In corralltng foreign trade.
Our South American consuls appear to be
unusually, intelligent men. well equipped
by education and temperament for the i'm
portant duties devolving upon them.
"A big strike was on in Buenos Aires
when we left April 16. All business was
paralyzed and the great town Of 500, 900
inhabitants was in continuous uproar.

and fatal stabbing ARRAYS were of daily

We're engineering the strike.
Buenos Aires Is an unusually beautiful
city, Its narrow streets being more than
onset by the lovely parks scattered at
snort intervals thru the city.
The city is deplorably lacking in edu-
cational facilities. All that the few in

private schools aren't much better. The

Sioux City, Iowa, May 26.-To ascertain
the exact amount of damage to crops Of
northwestern Iowa a canvass was made
Of twelve counties. Monona,, Woodbury.
and Osceola counties have apparently suf-
fered most In the last named county 1t
is stated that the corn acreage will be re-
duced by one-half In Woodbury. county
many farms are under lakes and the full
acreage Of corn cannot be approached.
In Monona county it is probable the acre
age will suffer to the amount Of 40 per
cent. In Buena Vista county many
farmers expecting to plant a large amount
of corn have been unable to put in a hill.
In Sac county it is estimated the corn
acreage will be cut 20 per cent.
The only report Of injury to small grain
comes from Osceola county. where it is
said some of the fields are rotting. In the
other counties the small grain seems to
be In better than an average condition.

MISS Josephine "A. w dnOuS -. OFT
There is no question that the finish Of
the voting contest will be exciting and
the management has decided that a hall
large enough to accommodate the friends
of the nine candidates who are taking an
active interest shall be secured for Sat
urday, so that the count may be con-
Quoted in public. This will dispose Of
any suspicious that might arise as to bal
lot box n1anipulations which sometimes
characterize elections of a political ma
ture.
Another handsome prize is offered to
the winner Of the contest--a handsome
hat Of recent Importation from Paris
which accords well with the style of the
5000 gown which is to be presented to
the queen. This is the gift Of Miss Phil
ipps, the Sixth street milliner, and it is
now on exhibition at her place of BUSH
ness.
Incidental to the getting together Of
such a large show as the Jabour Carnival
and Circus company, there have been sew
eral occurrences that were very nearly
disastrous. The loop-the-loop has passed
thru a tornado at Richmond, Ind, that
blew down the tent. The apparatus
however, was not injured. The Ferris
wheel, coming from Los Angeles, has
benin railroad wreck, but also escaped
damage and is expected here tomorrow.
Word comes from Laramie, Wyo., that
an Assyrians camel tender on the Jabour
show train coming from Portland, was
killed by an elephant. The elephant in
question has a reputation for being very
tractable and placid and Mr.. Jabour feels
certain that the killing was accidental.

Dolly Madiaou.

There are many stories told Of the
tact and kindliness of Mistress Dolly
Madison when she was the first lady OF
the land. Her ready wit saved from
confusion many a visitor to the White
House who was not accustomed to the
ways OF polite society.
One of the most amusing of the stO-
ries is the tale Of a country lad at a
White House reception who was sur
prised in the midst of his enjoyment
of a cIp of coffee by the approach of
his hostess. In his confusion the poor
boy dropped his saucer and thrust the
cup into his pocket.
Mistress Dolly, who although her eyes
were keen and searching, never saw
anything that 1t was not intended she
should see, chatted away with her
lcst SO pleasantly Of the weather, the
OVID, and, finally, Of the young mans
,tother, whom she had known or heard
Of, that he recovered from his embar-
rassment and was soon at ease and
ready to accept the fresh cup of coffee
which his hostess ordered, despite a
certain curious and unexplained bulge
In his pocket.

The Time For Recreation,


In this insistent age, when life every,
where is at high pressure, there ia
great need Of emphasizing the impor-
tance-yes, the absolute necessity-of
recrea ton
What is work worth, especially brain
work, when ii is performed with jaded
faculties, the energy Of the brain cells
being exhausted?
One ambitious of becoming a writer,
for example, thinks he is saving time
by forcing his brain beyond natural
limits. He believes that what he does
over hours Is clear gain and that writ
ing chapter or an article after his
days work In an. office, factory or
store is to his advantage. But sooner
or later he will realize his mistake. Ma
ture will not be cheated.
A man may probably occupy his
evenings in study or In some other &C.
cupation than that by which he earns
his daily bread, but he cannot do a full
days work Of any kind and then wise
ly attempt to do creative work In the
evening. A fresh brain is absolutely
essential to the production Of original
thought. Even a recognized author
who forces too much work upon his
brain will soon see that his writings
are not as much In demand as they
have been and that his reputation is
waning.-O. 5. Marsden In Success.

Some DimcuIt Tables.

Some of the excavations at Nippur
show that the Babylonians had multi
plication tables five times as long as
those commonly used In schools. Most
little men and women, for instance,
do not have to go further than twelve
times twelve. but the little Babylonian
children, says DR.. Herman V. Hill
precht, who superintendent the late ex-
cavations, had to go as far as sixty
times sixty.
Numbered fragments Of tablets bear
ing these multiplication tables" have
been found, some few of which go as
far as 1900 times 1900. But these
were evidently only for astronomical
purposes. Those old astronomers seem
to have felt hard pressed for time,
and when they were calculating the
distances Of the new stars they found,
and their size, they did not want to
take the time to multiply, and so just
referred to these tables in stone.
