Quack Grass.

A bulletin (No. S3) on "Quack and
Wheat Grasses" has just been issued
by the Botanical Department Of the EN-
pertinent Station at the Iowa State Col
lege.
This bulletin is illustrated with sew
eral excellent cuts of the grasses with
which it deals, and considers the Quacs
Grass, not only in the nature of a dang
erous weed but also, under certain cir
cumstances, forage plant of value.
Considerable evidence has been col
lected and here set down as to the
worth of these grasses for hay, and
especially as to their drought resisting
properties.
In this bulletin is also described the
best method of eXterminating Quack
Grass when it has assumed the nature
of an obnoxious weed upon cultivated
land.
The above bulletin may be obtained
by applying to B. F. Curtiss, director of
the Experiment Station, Ames, Iowa.

Tooth Causes Fright.

Immediately following the extraction
of badly liberated tooth last Sunday
morning, James Bonner, nearby and
most estimable farmer, was seized with
commissions due to an eXcitation of the
heart-an organ which has given Mr..
Bonner more or less trouble for the past
few years and it was only by the most
prompt action of DR.. Arnold, the den
fist, in calling to his aid Drs. Wales
and Reed that serious results were
averted.
There was disposition by some to
blame DR.. Arnold, but it is arrant non
sense to charge him with culpability, as
each Of the attending physicians,as well
as Mr.. Bonner, says that he was not in
the least to blame.
Mr.. Bonner is anything but rugged
man, his health being badly impaired
with weak heart and diseased kidneys
and he anticipated trouble before the
operation.
DR.. Arnold is young man, just start
ing on his professional career, and
while anything of this nature would
blight his reputation as a dentist were
he blamable, we would mot hesitate to
denounce him as charlatan and an in
competent if we thought him worthy Of
censure. But such is not the case. DR..
Arnold is thorough master of his pro-
fession and all who are conversant with
the circumstances are agreed that it
was an unavoidable happening some
thing that might occur in the practice
of the most skilled and experienced.

Brilliant Record of a Newspaper
Man.

The success which has attended VIM.
E. Curtis, the famous correspondent of
the Chicago Record Herald, is rarely
attained by newspaper writer's. Be
ginning his career in Chicago in 1872 as
reporter he rapidly rose to the position
Of managing editor. He resigned that
position on receiving a government APP
pointment as secretary of the South
American commission. Mr.. Curtis
travelled extensively in Central and
South America while in this position,
producing several popular volumes as
the result of his literary labors. After
ward cooperating with Secretary of
State James G. Blaine, Mr.. Curtis organ
lied the work of the bureau of American
republics, with the result that he was
placed in charge of that organization
and at the Worlds Columbian Exposi-
ton he distinguished himself by his
labors as the executive head Of the
Latin-American department. AS CORE
spondent of The Chicago RecordHerald
Mr.. Curtis travels have carried hin
into every section of the United States
as we'll as to all quarters of the globe
His China and Japan letters were pub
lished in book form; likewise his letters
from England, Germany and France, as
we'll as those written during his travels
in Mexico and South America.
No newspaper correspondent posses
Sos the facility shown by Mr.. Curtis il
writing on any of the diversified sub
jects embraced in his correspondence
and making it luminous. Nor is an.
correspondent followed so closely yea
after year by the thousands of readers
of the Chicago Record Herald. On hi
recent trip to the Holy Land Mr.. Curtis
letters have been read more closet.
than ever, and his descriptions of tina
interesting section of the globe as i
appears today have been quoted every

Letter to Mail Order Rouse by
Farmer.

An Iowa farmer received a letter
from a Chicago mail order house solicit
ing his patronage for goods, and his re-
ply is worth reading. He said:
can get my goods within one hours
drive of my farm and enjoy the satisfac-
ton of inspecting these goods, which
privilege is worth mure than the slight
difference in cost. furthermore if send
to you for goods you expect the cash to
accompany the order or you refuse to
send the goods, and am therefore pay
ing for goods that have not had an OPP
portunity to see, which to any sane
man is rather an unbusinesslike propo-
sition.
Here at home | am able to obtain
goods from my home dealer on several
months time, often without paying a
cent of interest, which no catalogue
house know of will do.
am satisfied that if our home mer-
chant could do strictly cash business
as you do, they could sell goods as
cheap as any catalogue house on earth.
We who are obliged at times to ask for
more OF less credit would certainly be
unreasonable to give that portion of our
trade only to our merchants and send
what cash we do have to concerns like
yours, who are of no benefit whatever
to our community. We should be will
ling in tactic pay little more for what
we have TO buy, when we must realize
that the difference in price is our just
portion towards building up our com.
munity and maintaining the thriving
cities and towns that have made our life
worth living and most decidedly in
creased the value of our farm lands.
Moreover, certainly do n It believe
in the establishment of more trusts
We certainly have trusts enough tC
contend with at the present time with
out making any more, and we are sim
ply assisting to establish trust wher
we persist in sending all the surplus
cash Of the country to you, doing it al
the expense of our own merchants
and therefore our own welfare.
/ Farmers who will stop to consider
this matter will realize that their home
merchants will make to them many con
cessions in prices and otherwise, tina
will more than equalize any benefit tina
may be derived from patronizing you
house.
