MISSOURI VALLEY, Iowa.
AUGUST 10, 1906.
Now that both Winter and Spring wheat have been
harvested to the extent that comparison of the may
be drawn, present herewith few facts and figures
the subject, which by may be already we'll known
and yet the majority may find little of interest Hav-
ing been thro campaign of inducing spring wheat farm
ers to change to raising winter wheat this previous year,
realize that there who in view of these facts
and the good returns for Winter wheat sowed last year,
may be induced to try at least fifteen twenty bushels
this year.
Winter wheat has been raised to some extent in diff
ferent parts Of this state for several years. but in
opinion not to the extent the conditions would justify
Iowa is not totally different from Illinois and Nebraska
where winter wheat has been raised quite extensively,
especially in Nebraska and that too with better returns
than from spring wheat In order add little weight
arguments in favor of going into the winter wheat
raising would state that the Department of Agriculture
says that Winter wheat and should be raised all over
the state of Iowa. and would like to call your attention to
the following letters received:
Department of Agriculture Office of the Secretary
Wa shington, d. c. July Is, '05.-Mr ---. Dear SIR
acknowledge receipt of your letter of July 18th relative
to the advsabilty of growing winter wheat in Iowa.
will have letter prepared giving you what information
may be possession of the Department of Agriculture
along this line. remember when was Director of the
Iowa Experiment Station 189197 had great success on
the college farm growing Turkish Red Winter wheat but
did not succeed with any other variety. You may get
some interesting information from Prof r. Curtis
director of the station at Ames who has doubt
tinued that work.

Many women long for child to bless
their homes, but because of some de-
bility or displacement of the female
organs they are barren.
Preparation for healthy maternity is
accomplished by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegeta BILE Compound more successfully
than by any other medicine, because it
gives tone and strength to the entire
female organism, curing all displace-
ments, liberation and inflammation.
A woman who is in good physical
condition transmits to her children the
blessings of good constitution. Is
not that an incentive to prepare for q
healthy maternity?
If expectant mothers would fortify
themselves with Lydia f. Pinl1ham S
Vegetable Compound, which for thirty
years has sustained thousands of
women in this condition, there would
be a great decrease in miscarriages, in
suffering, and in disappointments at
birth.
The following letters to Mrs. Pink
ham demonstrate the power of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetabl Compound in
such cases.
Mrs. l.. c. Glover, Vice-President OF
Milwaukee Business Woman's Associa-
ton, of GA Grove Street, Milwaukee,
Wis, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
II was married for several years and no
children blessed our home The doctor said
] had a complication of female troubles and
l could not have any children unless could
be cured. For months took his medicines
trying in vain for a cure, but at last my bus
band became disguised and suggested that

try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound; this l did, ard | improved steadily in
health, and in less than two years a beautiful
child came to bless our home. Now we have
something to live for, and all the credit is
due to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound
Mrs Mae P Wharry, Secretary Of
the North Shore Oratorical Society,
The Norman, Milwaukee, Wis, writes.
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
81 was married for five years and gave
birth to two premature children. Lydia E..
Pinkhams Vegetable Compound was recon-
mended to me, and am so glad took it, for
it changed me from a weak, nervous woman
to strong, happy and healthy one within
seven months. Within two years lovely
little girl was born. which is the pride and
JOY of our household. Every day l bless
lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for
the light, health and happiness it brought to
our home"
If any woman thinks she is sterile,
Or has doubts about her ability to carry
a child to mature birth let her write
to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass, whose
advice is free to all expectant or
would-be mothers. She has helped
thousands of women through this anx-
ious period.
Women suffering with irregular or
painful menstruation, leucorrh9a, dis
placement, liberation or inflammation
of the womb, that bearing down feel
ing or ovarian trouble, backache, bloat-
ing or nervous prostration, should re-
member that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound holds the record for
the greatest number of actual cures
of woman's ills, and accept no substi-
tute.

SHRlNES IN MOROCCO.
Why Some People Look Upon Then
With Suspicion.

Why Some People Look Upon Them
With Suspicion.
A traveller says that Christians in Mo.
rocco look with suspicion on the
Bhrines of Mohammedan saints in that
country. He tells the following story:
"Once upon time Il boy was travelling
through the country. and as night came
on he found himself near a white
washed tomb. Knocking at the door of
the shrine. he asked for meal and a
bed. When the next day dawned he
was about to continue his journey, but
the keeper of the shrine besought him
to remain in order to help him keen
the shrine and collect the offerings of
the faithful. The youth said that be
must first consult his parents. and the
elder man babe him take his ass and
seek advice Of his parents and return.
The boy took the ass and rode away,
but he had not accomplished half the
journey before the ass fell sick and
died. Then the boy knew not what to
do nor where to turn. But when he
had considered the circumstances of
his case brilliant idea flashed into his
mind.
Having dug pit and cast the ass
therein, he piled great stones over If.
whitening them with lime, and set q
white flag above. saying to all who
passed by. This is the tomb of St. So
and-so.' Then worshipers came from
every side. aims We're poured in and
offerings showered upon him. The
Keeper of the former shrine lost his
customers and came to visit the new
saint. He when the crowd had gone
approached the young shrine keeper
ask thee by Allah said the old man
who is this saint of thine and what
manner of thing is buried here"
Will not deceive thee, but will tel,
thee the truth returned the youth
My saint who is buried here ia none
other than thy beast, even the carcass
OF thine own ass. And now. prav wbo,
Is thy saint and who In truth is hur;ad
IN the shrine thou keepest? 4 will NOT
deceive thee. but will tell thee tbe-
truth replied the old man. NV sainr

Yet this busy man had what he call

And he professed to find diversion in

The routine method which enabled
Napoleon to keep up the dual role of
executive and war leader is explained
by General Gourgaud who served
near him half a lifetime.
THE active life which he (the EN-.
peror) led" says Gourgaud. was sub
ordinated to the military operations.
As a rule, he used to ride along with
the army when in pursuit Of or near
the enemy. When the army was en-
gagged in grand mancuvers and the
operations took place at great dis
tances he waited until the corps which
were to march by approached the pc,
