Sane Method offered.
Acting Mayor James M. Dixon thinks
a curfew law for negroes, as outlined
in resolutions passed Monday night at
a meeting of the West Side Club, col
ored, would be a good thing.
The fact that the club passed reso-
lutions calling on City Council to ar
range for the arrest of negroes under
IS years of age found walking the
streets after $3.50 D. m, without older
people, was called to the attention of
the Acting Mayor.
Il think it would be an excellent
thing to keep them off the streets. ;"
said Mr.. Dixon. Just how it could
be arranged l cannot say, but If there
is any reasonable way of doing it, l
think it would be an excellent plan to
adopt. I would favor any sane move
in this direction"

Drainage.

The Experiment Station of the
Iowa State College has issued bull
letin (No. 7S) on the Drainage Con-
ditions in Iowa" tits too lengthy
for us to publish. but will be fur
nished to any one who applies to the
Iowa State College, Ames, Iowa.
The following is summary Of it:
/. Over four million acres of
Iowa land would be greatly benefited
by tile drainage.
2. A very large PERCENTAGE of
this number were wholly unproduc-
tive last year.
3. The direct financial loss to
this state last season through lack of
adequate drainge was approximately
twenty million dollars.
4. The rapid rise in land values
makes tile drainage imperative; it
also makes it a profitable investment.
5. Undertaking benefits roll
ing lands. 1t prevents the loss Of
the most valuable part Of the soil
through washing and by removing
the surplus ground water prevents
seepage.
6. Thousands Of acres Of oul
most fertile lands are undrained.
These unproductive acres represent
millions Of dollars Of unavailable
capital. Considered as an invest
ment their reclamation is highly
profitable.
Z. By facilitating the cultivation
and harvesting Of otherwise broker
fields drainage lessons the cost o.
crop production.
s. Rotation Of crops is essentia
to successful farming. On thous
ands of farms throughout the state
well planned, systematic drainage
can alone make this possible.

state through lack Of Inadequate drain

THE PEPPERMINT STICK.
dome Words of Praise For the Candy
NJ nnr nosIAIns

dome Words of Praise For the Candy
of Our Daddics.
The old style stick candy has red
stripes running around it in spiral
form. The body of the stick is white.
1t is slightly favored with peppermint.
1t is very sweet and wholesome. Good
enough for king! So cheap that the
poorest may have it. Six sticks for
cents. Enough to last family Of six
two days. Break n stick in two in the
middle, eat half of it after dinner or
after supper if preferred. That is
enough candy for one day. 1t is good
for children. Keep it in the house.
Away up in the pantry where the chill
dren can't help themselves. After din
ner is over take it down, break stick
in two and pass it around. The chill
dren will like it immensely. They will
like it all the better for not being able
to get too much of it. Never let them
have all they want of it. A half stick
is enough, although whole stick
might be allowed occasionally. All the
fancy stuff put up in boxes that cost a
dollar or more cannot equal the old
fashioned stick candy. Six sticks of
1t contain more solid comfort and more
nutrition than wagon load Of cara
mels and painted bonbons. It is the
candy of our forefathers. Our grand
mothers used to eat it. Accept no 9TH
er. Be sure that you get the proper
trademark-red stripes running spiral
~ round the stick. Beware of substi-
tutes.-AIedical Talk.

1t is characteristic of the dairy
business in Iowa. said Deputy State
Dairy Commissioner Smith, in the
Des Moines Register and Leader,
that, although the people all over
the state turn to the milk COW as a
sure source of income in hard times
they try to get out Of milking as
soon as times get better. In order
to keep up dairying it seems to be
necessary to be whooping it up all
the time. Up in the northeastern
part of the state the country is COW
cred with creameries. You can scarce
ly drive five miles without find
ing one. But to the southwest Of us
the farmers don't seem to take to
dairying at all. In Union county.
where the finest blue grass in the
world grows as abundantly as any
place in the world, where the condi-
tions are admirably adapted to the
dairy business, there is not a cream
cry in the county. Now take it rp
Ill northeast, the butter makers will
have a big picnic at Manchester
next week, and the boys will all go

ideas. The dairy work of Iowa will

Iowa butter has been rising very
rapidly within the past few years. l
remember that when | came into
this Office two years ago there were
only a few creameries in the state
that could make the highest grades
Of butter, but now there are plenty
of them making a stock that will

Of the Iowa creamery stock goes di-
rectly to the eastern markets, New
York. Boston and the Atlantic sea-
board. The business is improving
right along with the education Of
the dairymen. Mr.. Wright, the
state commissioner, Mr.. Smarzo and
Mr. Kieffer are on the road holding
institutes most of the time, and their
work is showing good results"

THE WILD BIRD.
When the Naturalist Get. Chance

When the Naturalist Gets q Chance
to Study Him at Close Range.
For the greater part Of the year fear
is the dominant instinct in the life Of
nearly every wild bird or mammal
Which has to contend with man or
overt enemies of any kind. But with
the periodic revival of the reproductive
functions profound changes occur not
only in the bodily parts, but in the In
stincts which govern their movements
and life. The parental instincts, which
are essential to the generation and
successful rearing of the young, begin
to assert themselves and by blocking
or supplanting the sense of fear hold
them to the focal point-the nest and
later the young-during the period
when parental care and even parental
sacrifice is necessary.
This wonderful parental instinct, or
series of instincts, rises gradually like
fever, reaches maximum and then
as slowly subsidies. When at its height
every sense seems to be lost IN an all
absorbing passion. This is the time to
approach the wild bird. We can watch
and record with pencil and camera ev.
cry act which occurs at the nest. We
can approach US near as we please and
by aid of the tent are enabled to ana.
lyze in detail the behavior of the same
birds for period of from one to three
weeks.-Professor Francis Fl. Herricl

David T Rrewer associate ;,st;,

David j. Brewer, associate justice
of the supreme court of the United
States, recently delivered an address
in New York on which occasion the
justice said: "No nation is better
than its sacred book and no nation
rises above its ideals. The Turks
have their Koran, and some of its
teaching contains high morality, yet
how far short the Turk comes of its
fulfillment! China hasthe writings Of
Confucius as its sacred book. His
golden rule is negative while ours
is positive. He says do not, while
we say do. There is a worldwide
difference between the two. Live
up to the teaching Of Confucius and
you may pass by all suffering and
sorrow, but in the commandment to
do unto others as you would be done
by you must relieve sorrow. The
one who bring this Bible home to
the people of the nation is patriot
Too often the soldier is regarded as
the only patriot. They are patriots
but the man who carries the Bible
to the people is also patriot, and he
is doing more FOR his country than
lall the victors Of the battle6elds." /"

much amusement for the boys and
youths generally. For many years
this goat had been assessed at 50,
but one year an Irishman was elect

$40. Upon coming to pay his tax
and finding it so much increased,
the irate owner hunted up the Irish
assessor and demanded an explana-
ton, stating that there was no law
for such an outrageous assessment.
