man. Fresh from a visit IN Pales-

sage, at once of retrospect ana OF
prophecy, couched in a style wholly
inimitable and full of charm.
Professor Edwin Erie Sparks is Well
known to Iowa audiences and finds his
best recommendation in the fact that
he is recalled time after time to adj
dress the same audience.
Superintendent o. ]. Kern, OF Him
oils, stands as a representative OF the
philosopher who seeks the truth, ana
the practical man who can bring
things to pass. He is probably doing
more than any other man in the Unt-
ted States in actually making agricul-
ture interesting both in theory and in
| practice to the pupils under his charge.

cursion, and invited him to continue
his address.
