Bailey on His Daughters Marriage.

O1A AAAo daughter 3 marriage.
Bailey, the Britt, Iowa, Tribune man,
had daughter married recently and
the following is his characteristic write
up of the event:
"Twenty- one years ago yesterday a
little girl baby was left at our house,
red, Wrinkled and homely; but mother
decided to keep her, because at that
time she had only one other girl. The
various troubles incident to childhood
came-whooping cough, measles scarlet
fever-in succession. We fought them
off and saved her. But about year
ago dentist came; the attack was
soon known to be serious. It was
severe case from the first. She had al
ways been good girl and always
seemed to rally from every attack but
this one. We suggested all the rem
edies we could to save her, but she
didn't appear to want to be saved.
Last night the dentist carried her

people as his wife. They will be back
in few weeks to begin life in a home
OF their own, but the girl that was a
baby twenty-one years ago, that has
been the light of our home ever since,
has gone. If she makes another home
as bright as she has ours, we know
dentist who has won a prize.
"But wedding is not so much diff
ferent from a funeral after all when
there is a vacant seat at the table and
the familiar voice and footsteps are
gone. May Gods richest blessings rest
on our new son and his girl wife.
"This is the second time this kind of
a game has been played at our house
and it is getting monotonous. Wehave
one more girl and the first fellow that
comes around after her is going to get
we'll, mother and [ haven't yet de-
cided just what"

Some Of these bugs, like the boil
weevil, the toad can't get at, but he can
reach most Of them, as well as some
others not mentioned. Itis stated that
the department of agriculture scientists
have examined the stomachs of large
numbers of toads for the purpose Of
securing definite information regarding
their diet. From estimates made with
great care, it is known that the average
toad will, during one growing season,
consume 2,160 cutworms, 1900 my
riapods, 2,160 SOW bugs 3, ,24O ants, 800
weevils, and $50 ground beetles. Many
gardeners give children a penny fer
every cutworm found and at this
nominal figure the value Of single
toad each season is $21.60.s =szT:'s*
: From which it will be seen that it il
simply foolish to kill toads. He is
friend ofmankind in general and the.
farmer in particular. He has been the
victim of base ISLANDERS, unfounded in
anything but the rankest superstition
and ignorance. The toad has been
charged with making warts; bis breath.
:is.saii 10 esPoisonons to iiufants; and
several other things are alleged which
investigation has proved ridiculous.
Spare the toad. Tell the children to
spare him. Let him multiply and
pursue his happy life undisturbed.
+ 1t is also revealed by the agricultural
department experts that the toad is of
valuein: the cities. He gets after the
insects that are attracted by the gas
and electric lights. He feeds all night
on them, and empties his stomach four
times night. Over in England the
gardeners often pay $25 hundred for
toads. Several instances have been
noted of beautiful gardens overrun
with destructive insects being saved by
toads.

Much Vacant Land Yet Left,


The material development of the
country is quietly progressing at re-
markable rate in one direction which
is not given much popular attention.
More than 22,824,299 acres of the public
lands were turned over to private in
dividuals last year. This means that
an area almost equal to the state of In
diana has within that time been added
to tho productive regions of the United
States. Il Most of these newly opened
lands were homesteaded by farmers, as
will be seen from the following figures:
There were 81, 365 patents of all classes
issued within the year. OF this uum-
ber, A ,654 are classed as agricultural,
1904 as Indian allotments, 1,1O4 as
mineral patents, 200 as coal patents, ,276
as private land claims, 1877 ais railroad
patents and 40 as swamp land patents.
The total sum which the government
got by way of fees and commissions for
issuing these patents was 1924, 744.
Undera a recent laM--the most of the re-
ceipts from the sale of public lands will
henceforth be set aside for reclaiming
arid lands by irrigation.
In the public domain there are still
unappropriated 3So,979,307 acres of sur
veyed lands and 591, ,976, 1859 acres Of un-
surveyed lands, or a:total Of more than
970,955,O0o acres. Aegreat many tracts
in this immense area, Of courses, will al
ways remain uncultiyated and unset
tied, but it has been estimated that
when=the Contemplated system of irri-
CATION shall be put into working order
50 much good land will be opened that
a population q, large as the vi hole ma
tions present. population could ind
room there tte: thrive prosperonsly and
,contenaedly .t:2is. Il. { ,s...zs1s- 49,
BB4pid strides are now being made in
ths' developing Of the public domain.
The excitement and uprosr of former
pioneer days are absent in this work,
but tie process is marked and very Of
fective. The passenger: traffic on west
ern railroads is evidence of this fact.
Agreeable reflections arise in contem-
plating that the United States still
owns so much arabic public land: The
dangers of an overcrowded population
by immigrants or natural increase are
still remote. The census for many
years yet to come will not show an ex-
cess of people above what the west will
need in settling up it's vacant lands
