The Third Division. ..,-.:,,
The third division of this great
country lies to the north Of the wheat
belt, between it and what is known
as the forest. country. AS wheat
growing implies the raising of all
cereals, that can probably be raised
in the country, the remaining
branches of mixed farming are dairy
ing and the raising of farm stock.
It must not be supposed that dividing
the prairies in this way is saying that
any one portion Of the country pos
sesses better soil than another, for
such is not the case-all districts arc
equally fertile, hut the topography
and climatic influences differ, as well
as the conditions for production.
Ranching and grain growing are car
ried on quite successfully in i this
northern zone; but 1t is found more
profitable to combine all the features
Of the industry. ID On account Of the
land being more broken than in tho
southern district, though the soil is
equally fertile.s there arefnot the sans
opportunities for extensive operations;
and while cattle raising Is as profitable
here as elsewhere, different methods
have to be adopted for their protec-2
ton, especially in the winter season., {
An authority, on the y subject has
stated that agriculture in any coun-
try never reaches the minimum Of
development until the farmers engage
at least proportionately in dairyihg,f
though the surroundings must, always
determine the extent to which any.

scuted. It is certainly, then that ltf
the agricultural possibilities OF = this.
portion Of the prairie country be estit
mated by it's adaptability to dairy
farming even the most skepti heal must
acknowledge they are unsurpassed in
any country i'd the world. As init
mated above, even dairyings may be
successfully carried on in any corner
Of the territories, but this zone has
everything to recommend it as the
ideal spot for this branch Of the sbusi-
ness. ~ 7s's

Anyone, no matter how awkward
they may be now, can quickly learn
to be a graceful and beautiful dancer
by following the instruction given in the
course of dancing lessons which we will
send free OF charge to any address.
Dancing Is the most innocent, benefic-
ial and popular diversion known to So
ciety.
The most awkward child quickly be-
comes perfect and graceful dancer by
following the simple instructions which
we send free. All children take nat
urally TO dancing and all they need to
know is how to make the steps, which
are so clearly illustrated that they can
understand the instructions without the
aid OF an older person.
Nohing will give child such pleas
ure and at the same time add to its ac-
omplishments as will a knowledge of
dancing. 1t has been almost impossible
for many children to receive instruction
in this beautiful art. but now all may
learn. Parents who wish their child
rem to be happy, healthy and graceful
should send for this course of free In
things in proper living and there is no

Exercise DIS one of the necessary
things in proper living, and tire Is no
exercise at once so innocent, so health
full. so pleasurable and so we'll adapt
ed for the interningldng of men and
women and children as dancing. Both
sexes can Indulge in 1t with equal pro-
priety and enjoyment Those who have

by Rev. Nathaniel Pye, of the Metho-

"Spiritualism, With the Testimony OF

HOWE ON uNloNlsM.
Young Business Man Presents Ideas
Concerning Capital and Labor.


Mr.. George A. Howe of this city, has
addressed a communication to the
Times Republican in which he pre-
sents his views concerning the princi-
pies OF trades unionism and the rela-
tions that should exist between capital
and labor. He declares the closed shop
all wrong. but believes that the union
LIST has the privilege to induce his non
union brother to accept the principles
of unionism, providing he uses fair
means, and does not attempt to coerce.
Mr.. Howe's communication follows:
"The principle Of trade unionism Is
right 1t is only in some OF its mod
ern methods that 1t Is wrong. Like
some big. overgrown schoolboy, 1t has
to endure many hard knocks before Il
will know Its lesson. But it will learn
and 1t has come to stay. 1t is useless
and unnecessary to combat the idea of
labor unions or take Sides We should
not seek to annihilate them, but rather
try to help them to govern themselves.
The individual working man in some
trades can not protect himself and
gain his rlghtful share of the wealth
he helps to produce; therefore he must
band himself with his fellows and
thereby create a power that will be
felt. Thus unions have done much to
better the condition Of labor. and II the
men of trade are intelligent and rea-
sonable, IL they have sound. honest
leaders, and are well organized. they
can accomplish much real good.
But unionism's worst enemies are
within itself They are the petty or
dishonest walking delegate or agitator,
and the thoughtless laborer who SIM
ply fails In line and does what he 1s
told to do. Labor must be reasonable.
The workman must remember that his
employer must be well paid for the
risks he runs in embarking in bust
ness. The employer never knows when
his losses will begin. nor how great

they will be. 1t is perfectly just Tor
the workman to demand as high wages
as he believes his employer can pay.
But it is equally Just that the employer
should hire whom he pleases. If he can
find his best men among union men he
should use them. If part of his man
are union and part non union, the
union men may try to induce their fell
lows TO join them by fair means ana
argument But the instant they try
to force him or urge the employer to
force him they are overstepping their
bounds and treading on the rights d
free American citizenship. The closed
shop system is all wrong and will not
be tolerated by any man who values
freedom.
The boycott is another weapon that
trade unions must leave alone 1t works
in the dark and is no more worthy OF
the true American working man than
an Italians dirk. The employers
blacklist and the laborer's boycott are
both wrong. Capital and labor must
both respect the rights of each other
and of the general public.
And now to come right down to
home. Leaving out the question OF
absolute right or wrong in this print
ers' strike. as matter of policy 1t is
mistake for the unions to force the
matter now. The public is sore. Many
unions with ignoran. and unreasona-
Bile leaders have male demands that
could not be granted, and have out
ragged the public. Their methods have
been crude, unbusinessike and violent;
and these things lose to the unions
public sentiment, which is their great
est ally.
Il would like to say this to every
Marshalltown Mborer. and / wish 1t
might be said to the men all over the
country: The present wave OF labor
agitation has gone far enough. Let 1t
rest. Give the people time to digest
and absorb your principles. Don't be
greedy and kill the goose. Business
has quieted down and many employers
are afraid to go ahead till they know
whether labor is to be reasonable or
