Think Before You Speak.

Thoughtlessness in speech may
be the mantle of charity that can
be spread over the reckless speech
of too many people. A gossip in
female garb has to be tolerated,
because what on earth can you do
with her? But gossip in trousers
is the limit! This gentlemanly
lady ought to be made to sit on a
barb wire fence in a linen buster
the entire winter and recite the
Declaration of independence every
two hours during that cold season.
A good rule to live by is to
speak we'll of another or preserve a
dignified silence. Too many lives
have been wrecked; too many car
GERS blighted; too many scalding
tears have been shed and too many
sensitive people have been bowed
and broken by the gossip and SLAM
der of their neighbors.
People, rise above those things.
Do not besmirch the reputation OF
any human being. 1t is better to
let nine guilty ones escape than to
ruin the tenth who is innocent
This is another good rule to live
by. 1t makes the trail of life
brighter, the world more beautiful
and in the approach to the eterna
life there will be no COLLINS tt
Jump out and grin and show theil

Des Moines, Iowa, April


The week was unseasonably cold,
the daily mean for the state being 6
to 10 degrees below normal, with heavy
frost and ice in all district is. The
minimum temperature reported was
10 degrees at Sibley, on morning of
l4th. Except in southern districts the
precipitation was light and mainly in
form of snow.
Conditions have been generally ia
vorable for farm work, and good prog
ress has been made finishing seeding
and blowing for corn, very large
acreage being in readiness for plant
ing. Growth Of grass and termination
of seed has been retarded by cold
weather. Reports do not show mater
ial injury to early seeded wheat, oats
and barley from effect of freezing. 1t
is probable that the earlier varieties
of fruit have been injured to some eX-
tent, especially in the ssouthern half
1 or the state.
! The general situation is favorable
and the season is still in advance of
the average. The soil is in extra good
condition for working, with sufficient
moisture to start vegetation with
/ normal temperature. Farm work is
we'll advanced in all sections.
