TIE FIRST VOTE.
Why Young Men Should Cast Their
First Ballot for Roosevelt,

why YOuuE Men should Cast Their
First Ballot for Roosevelt.
A young mans first vote for Presi-
dent is the most important one he will
ever cast and may affect himself as well
as the country benefcially or the reverse.
The young American approaches his
twenty-frst birthday with a feeling of
pride tinged with solemnty. He knows
that henceforth the constitution and laws
invest him with all the rights OF citi-
zenship. No matter how well equipped
he may have been to exercise these
rights before, he cannot do so until he
is twenty-one years old. He has waited
impatiently fer the time when he could
vote, and long before it arrives he has
begun to consider carefully how he
should cast his first ballot. He remem-
bers how his father voted and decides
whether he will follow in his fathers
footsteps or not. He recalls what he
knows Of history, weighs the platforms
and issues carefully, and tries to reach
a conscientious conclusion as to how he
should vote. This is right. He puts his
best thoughts and conscience into mis-
first vote, as he ought to.
No subsequent vote ever receives quite
the same careful thought. The first vote
decides young mans party affiliations,
and after that he is apt to follow in the
path in which he has started. Hence
the importance of starting right. Hun
dreds OF thousands of men to-day are
proud because they cast their first vote
for Abraham Lincoln, General Grant or
William Mckinley, while other hundreds
Of thousands are sorry that they cast
their first vote for the defeated oppo-
nents of these men.
A young mans first vote for President
is the most important one he will ever
oGst because it may determine the po-
.itical associations of his whole life and
make or mar his career. Therefore,
every first voter should cas-. his ballot for
che student, author, soldier, patriot and
statesman, Theodore Roosevelt.

President Roosevelt's thorough discus
sion of national irrigation and his great
personal interest in it, has attracted at
tention throughout the United States.
even where its Importance has never be-
fore been appreciated. The daily press
repeated his utterances and familiar
lied the people of the whole country with
the subject. The nation has come to
understand, as never before, that ma
ti0nal irrigation is not a fad or local
issue, but one Of the greatest and most
bcnefcent undertakings of the govern
ment.

The Philippines Exhibit.

n
Everyone knows now that the most in
teresting and the most instructive ex-
hibit of the great Worlds Fair in ST.
Louis is in the reservation devoted ex-
clusively to the products and the people
of the Philippine Islands. 1t is a Gu
rious exhibit because it represents with
utmost fidelity, not only the best, but
the worst features, of life in the Phil
ippine Islands. Within the boundary Of
the reservation one may get a fairly &C
curate idea of the possibilities Of
achievement by the educated few among
the Filipinos, and at the same time the
student and casual visitor has impress
ed upon him the vastness Of the work
to be performed in the Islands, and til
depth of the ignorance and savagery OF
many millions of the people of the Archi-
pelago.
In one building may be found the pitt
full exhibits of the military and educa
tional methods of the Spanish, which de-
layed the uplifting Of the Philippines fer
generations. In another department
nay be found the examination papers
the drawings and the maps made by
Filipino students in schools directed by
Yankee school ma ans. In the agricul-
tural exhibit are specimens Of the prod
ucts of the island going to show the

A BIG CROWD TO EXTRA.
Three Coach Loads of Boosters
Went Up This Morning and
are sBoosting".

Three coach loads of Atlantic
people went to Extra on the special
train at $50 this morning to take in
the Old Settlers and Old Soldiers
reunion and to boost for Atlantic.
The matter of going up in a body
was taken up by the Merchants
association and was pushed to a
successful conclusion. The Attain
tic band accompanied the crowd
and ia making all kinds of music
up there today.
The crowd that went up was COM
posed of merchants and business
men in all lines with their wives
and friends. Many went along
just to have a good time, just to
have some place to go and because
they knew they could and would
have a good time at Extra for her
people are noted for being good en-
tertainers.
Vice President Goss of the Mer-
chants association was one of the
big men of the trip. s. q. Hunter
and Frank Nebe were also taking a
lively interest in everything that
was being done. William Duwe of
the Occidental hotel was there with
all of his advordupois as was E. D.
Young with his smiling face and a
good word for everybody. It was
a happy crowd as they pulled out
of the local depot this morning in
charge of Conductor Bundy of the
Griswold branch. Atlantic Tele.

Crop Bulletin.
For week ending Sept. 10, 'o4.

For week ending Sept. 10, 'O4.
Des Moines, Iowa
The week was quite variable in
temperature the daily average be-
ing 3 to 4 degrees below normal;
but there were several days Of good
ripening weather. On the morning
of the 18th the frost line was reach
ed, and on the 18th light to heavy
frost visited all districts in the state.
The greatest injury to late planted
corn is reported to have occurred
on the bottom lands of the Iowa
river valley. The "killing" effects
of the frost were noted is low lands,
aud lemeted to tender vegetation
and the blades of the most imma-
ture corn plants. Broadly viewed
for the whole state, the actual dam
age to the corn crop by frost does
not appear to besserious, though it
is not possible at present to deter
mine to what extent the quality of
the frosted portion has been impair
ed. Reports indicate that more
than half the crop is now fairly
we'll matured, and that ten days OF
favorable weather will assure the
safety of the larger portion of the
area planted. In the most hopeful
estimates due allowance has been
made for somewhat more than the
average percentage of soft or I'M
merchantable corn. Considerable
progress has been made in cutting
and shocking the most advanced
fields. Harvest of potatoes and APP
pies in progress. fall blowing is
we'll advanced; pasturage is very
good.

The Value Of sayinq "No."

Philadelphia Public Ledger: no"
is characterized as "a m~onosyliable the
easiest learned by a child. but the most
difficult to practice by the man"
DR.. Johnson displays a world of Wis
dom In these few simple lines. and the
saying is no less true in regard TO
women than 1t is 10 men.
1t seems cold and heartless to a man
to refuse to lend a friend a llttle money
to tide over some anxious time, and
yet 1T is a great question as to whether
he is justified in doing so IL he himself
is forced to make some of his own
creditors walt While his money is ful-
filing a friends need.
z In domestic life a woman has alsl
much call for the little m~onosyllable
No" She may dislike to ~disappoint
her children in some matters, but
knows in her heart of hearts that the
granted favor wor Id be bad for their
health or future happiness.
Yet how few mother do say mo-
under such circumstances! And they
excuse themselves by saying that it Is
bad for children to be twarted! So it
is, but if the said children were
brought up to n that their mother
had always a good reason for her de-
cision and was not to be cajQled out
of that decision, the mother would save
a great deal Of annoyance both to her
self and to others thrown in contact
with her offspring.
