We understand that the state univer-
sity of Iowa will have more than the
usual number of foreign students during
the coming year. There will be half a
dozen Filipinos, Turk, an Armenian, a
Mexican, German, and number of
Japanese, with number of others as
yet undecided. There is no reason why
students from other lands should not
come to an Iowa institution of learning.
Every school can teach something to
him who is DESTROYS of learning, and the
learning that is to be accumulated in
the class room nor garnered from books
is worth fully as much as the other.
The meeting and mingling with other
students, the exchange of ideas, the
formation Of opinions, all that is of in
calculable value. The Americans who
throng the universities of Europe can
learn everything as well in this coun-
try, as far as the mere dry facts are
concerned. No school has any secrets,
any mysteries to impart and yet the
years that the average American spends
at foreign school are usually the very
best of his life. So foreign students
would get a better understanding Of
many things that they might learn from
books, by spending year or two at an
American university. The exchange Of
teachers has been arranged for between
German and American universities. Ar
exchange Of students would be of vast
ly greater Importance and value.

Congressman Charles B. Landis, of
Indiana, who addressed the graduating
class of Highland Park college, Des
Moines, was inspired by his ride across
Iowa to utter the following concerning
the cornields, the cattle, the hills, ETC.,
of the fairest state Of all the west.
"After riding across Iowa and seeing
it's endless cornfields and it's cattle on a
thousand hills, one is really awestruck
over what great state Iowa is. If In
diana is credited with furnishing more
than her share of the country's fiction,
Iowa can claim the credit of furnishing
more than its share of corn, and at a
rough estimate | would say that there
was enough corn and cattle in the state
Of Iowa to keep the country from starv-
ing for months

The postoffice department has made a
new ruling on mail matter addressed to
patrons on rural routes which will be of
great benefit to this country when the
organization of the system goes into
effect this fall. Under the new ruling
postmasters are allowed to forward
papers as we'll as mail matter from one
office to another where the person ad-
dressed is on a rural route. In the
many changes from one postofice TO
another that will result when the new
routes are established it will require
several months for the patrons to have
their mail properly addressed, and
while there will necessarily be delays
mail of every character will finally
reach the party to whom it was adj
dressed.

to live, and right to express his opin-

also right to vote and pay taxes, and
to find fault with everybody and every
thing he don't like. Man has a whole

them all like gentleman"

Will Paint Them Green.

The postofice department has inaug-
urat ted new policy in the matter of
painting the rural letter boxes. The
rural letter carriers are now to become
knights of the paint brush, and receive
an additional compensation for their ex-
ira work, which, by the way, will not be
compulsory.
There are 100000 rural boxes in
the country, and before the close of the
summer months these boxes will be re-
splendent in coat of brilliant green
paint, which paint will be furnished the
rural carrier painter by the department..
Some days ago Postmaster-General
Cortelyou asked the comptroller of the
treasury if he co.ld employ the rural
letter carrier to paint the rural boxes.
The comptroller decided that the post
master-general could contract with the
carriers to paint these boxes provided
it did not interfere with the mail serv-
ice and the carriers were willing to do
the work. The comptroller also sug-
gested that it would be only proper to
see that the work was done at uniform
price.
| In few days the rural carriers will
be informed by the department that
they will be allowed so much per box
the price not being yet fixed by the
postmaster-general-the department to
furnish the paint.
To facilitate more accurate hand
ling of the mail by rural free delivery
carriers, the postofice department is
arranging for the numbering of all rural
letter boxes which under the regula-
tions Of the departments: are entitled to
service, and authorizing the delivery by
rural letter carriers of ordinary mail
matter of all classes addressed to boxes
by number alone, SO long as improper
and unlawful business is not conducted
thereby, the same as is now permitted
in the case of postoffice boxes.
Instructions will be issued to post
masters within short time to assign 10
boxes entitled to service consecutive
numbers, beginning with the first box
reached by the carrier after leaving the
i postoffice. and new box erected sub.
sequent to the original numbering will
be assigned the next consecutive mum
, Der ia use on that particular route.
4 Boxes on newly established routes
will not be numbered until sixty days
after the commencement of the service
! in order that ample time may be allow
: ed for all prospective patrons to secure
lboxes.--R. r. d. News.

Wisconsin newspapers are all send
ing out 2S-page supplements. Under
new statute, the laws enacted at each
session of the legislature are published
in every paper in the state whose pub
Usher is willing to perform that service
for 500. Few decline, and thus there
goes copy of the session laws into
nearly every home. The Wisconsin
plan certainly makes ignorance of the
law as inexcusable morally as legally.
