or cotton. or potatoes, or wheat be-
cause he believed at first view the
conditions favored the growing of the
crops. Others came and settled about
him and they followed his example,
and thus a certain district neighbor-
hood was given over to the cultivation
of certain crops and the process of get
ting away from this habit was difficult.
Experimenting in growing crops is
slow, uncertain and expensive when
conducted by the Individual farmer.
Therefore the government felt justi-
fed in taking hand and it has re-
moved much of the burden of all such
experimentation from the farmers.

THE PRESIDENTS HOSTS.

The President is being entertained
now in Colorado, and his hosts are
men Of the mountains, hardy hunters
of big game, who care less for the flu
ture of San Domingo, than for the
weather indications for the morrow.
They are, though, real men, possibly
lacking the polish to which the execu-
tive is accustomed in Washington, but
lacking none Of the straightforward
manliness to be found in the greatest
and most honored of public men. This
is true Of the men Of the west with
whom the President has been frater-
nizing during the past few weeks.
The speeches the President has been
making in the west are characteristic
of him and show different side of
his nature from the side which is al
ways turned toward the public when
he Is in Washington as an official.
While neither is affectation, the two
are different and each is just right in
its place.
The Courier is in receipt Of copies
of the Lawton, (Okla.) Daily News,
which contains special correspondence
from Frederick, near where the Pres
ident made his headquarters during
his wolf hunt. In short speech that
he made at Frederick before starting
on the hunt he gave the people of the
little Oklahoma town q vocal "glad
hand" told them to prepare for state
hood and closed with the following
words: 81 have had a middling bust
ness three and half years. I have
liked my job. enjoyed it and was
thankful to the people for telling me
to go on with it. Now l want four
days play. hear you have plenty of
jack-rabbits and coyotes here. like
my fellow citizens, but don't like them
on coyote hunt. Give me chance to
have as much fun as even President
Is entitled to. Good Bye

WHERE TOGO FIGHTS.

New York Press.-It being generally
accepted now that it was not reason
able to expect great naval engage
ment In the China sea fifteen minutes
after Rojestvensky's flotilla was sight
ed there, those who are feverish to see
the results Of the battle must accus-
tom themselves to the further thought
that where Togo will meet and strike
and, by all signs, defeat the Russian
admiral will be known after he begins
his battle, and in all probability, not
one second before. That is the way
of the Japanese commanders in gen.
eral, Of the great Togo in particular.
Meanwhile it is safe to accept the
opinion of naval experts that the
somewhere which cannot be located by
the outside world in advance is much
nearer Japan than the present situa-
ton of the Russian ships, more than
three thousand miles from here. And
it is also worth while to consider the
opinion Of naval experts that for
Rojestvensky to take his barnacled
and sea weed covered hulks into the
water selected by To~o for his engage
ment Is a species Of madness more
acute even than any yet displayed by
the Russian generals and admirals. He
will not fight Togo in waters of his
own selection. Togo will select the
waters where the engagement is to be-
gin, and where an engagement begins,
with the Japanese against the Rus
slams and Togo against Rojestven-
sky there it will end. If the Russian
iotilla proceeds on its voyage to the
point which Togo has marked out in
his mind, as the place where he will
strike, it is believed by those who
have studied the navies of the two ma
tons that Japan will have sudden
and large expansion Of her sea power
as captures to be prizes Of war.

Being thus compelled to take one of

instance is further astray than Bryan

democrats, has uniformly been as to

devoted his thoughts, his voice. and
his pen during the last nine years?

PROUD CITY FEELS DISGRACE
Horrors of Horrors!


Also, Terrible to Contemplate.
What do you ask?
Why, don't you know? Haven't you
read of the latest outrage that has
been perpetrated upon the fairest city,
the noblest community, the most intel
ligent body of citizens to be found in
side the bounds of single municipal
ity in the United States? Don't you
know that the horrid packers have put
sal1cylic acid into their cans of Boston
baked beans, that they have actually
been guilty Of adulteration of Boston's
own particular dish, the dish of which
the town is as proud as of it's Fan
euil hall, it's Commons and it's uncom-
mon wisdom!
This is the charge that is made
against the packers, and it is safe to
say that should grand jury be Sc
lected from among the old families of
the Hub City to investigate the bean
trust indictments would roll out of the
jury room so fast that it would re-
quire three clerks and six messenger
boys to carry them out of the way.
But Boston, and indeed other cities
as well, may we'll feel alarmed If the
report Of DR.. James o. Jordan of the
Boston board of health may be be-
lfeyed. DR.. Jordan has reported the
presence of salicylic acid in certain
canned baked beans, sulphurous acid in
Hamburger steak and boric acid in
butter offered for sale in Boston. In
vestigation will doubtless reveal the
same conditions outside of that city,
according to what the doctor says, and
the discussion of food adulteration has
received another boost that will pro-
hibit the practice SO Injurious to
health and fix a penalty for it's contin-
uation.
The first discovery of acids was
made in the examination of certain
brands of beer brewed in Boston. The
Investigation was extended by DR.. Jor-
dan to several foods and the an
nouncement of the result of his re-
searches has made Boston tremble.
The acid is used, it is said, for the
purpose of preserving the foods. but
the doctors say it is decidedly injur-
ious and may cause deaths. Tho worst
feature, however, is not that the acid
contained in any one article of diet
will cause serious illness. but that If
man gets little of the poison in his
butter, little more In his catsup,
more in his steak, more in his beer,
more in his beans, and more in a few
other articles of food, he will feel the
effects within short time.

Mrs. Pearl May Brewer was born in
Ottumwa, June 6, 1883. She was sent
to the Sabbath school where she was
taught faith in our Lord Jesus Christ
as her Saviour and the Saviour of all
them that believe in him. When only
twelve years old she made a public
profession of faith in Christ and united
with the East End Presbyterian
church under the pastorate of Rev.
Mcmillan. Another great event in her
life was her marriage to Howell
Brewer, March 10, 1904. She passed
away, trusting God, after few weeks

THE VALUE OF A TRIFLE.

The real good that should come from
the many seed corn trains that have
been run through Iowa on the larger
roads has been underestimated by
some who hold to the old fashioned
theory that the farmer knows best the
science of tilling the soil. Those who
really know farming, however, are just
the ones who see the value of the seed
corn lectures and the worth to the
farmer of the advice of the lectures,
If that advice is followed. Even the
layman, IL he takes a real interest in
the subject can realize the practical
results Of ). scientific agricultural re-
search when he considers the state.
ment recently made by Prof. G. F.
Curtfss, director of the Iowa agricul.
tural experiment station, who points
out that the addition of single extra
head Of smaller grain would make an
increase in the nations yield of $5,000,-
900 bushels of corn, 100000 bushels
of wheat and 100000 bushels of oats.
These figures are sufficiently signif1-
cant of the results to be wrought by
government experiments to emphasize
the practical value of the work that is
going on among these institutions
The government spends $720, 900
year in maintaining agricultural ex-
pertinent stations To those unfamiliar
with the vast benefit that has accrued
from this branch of the federal service
the cost will appear larger than the
returns justify. The agricultural ex-
pertinent stations are not used as dis
tributing agencies Of academic infor-
nation, and few, If any students Of ag-
from them. The object of these ex-
periments conducted under government
supervision Is to make the original in
vestigaIions along theoretical lines and
to publish all results that will be of
aid to the farmers Of the country in &C.
curing the greatest profit from the
filling Of the soil.
The total annual value of The agri-
cultural products of the United States
was less than $4,000, 100000 when the
Hatch act establishing experiment sta
tons was passed by congress. That
was eighteen years ago and today the
total annual agricultural production of
the United States is valued at more
than $5,000,0O0,0OO. Just what part of
this increase in dae directly to the es-
tablishme1t of maintenance Of the gov
eminent experiment stations it is i'm
possible to say, but we do know that
the methods introduced, technical in
formation disseminated, advice as to
crop rotation. use of fertilizers best
adopted to certain products, etc., have
contributed greatly to the increase in
general production.
Until comparatively recent years the
business Of the farmer was conducted
largely at haphazard. He went out
into the woods and prairies with only
the customs and traditions of his own
torefathers and observations among
his neighbors to rely upon in a coun-
try where physical conditions were
radically different from those he had
been accustomed to. He planted corn,

in the plans for the armament of the
nations fleets and for this reason the
question is one that concerns every
