idea. Marion is ideally situated for a
suburban residence town. 1t has one
of the best water supplies in the state,
fine churches and the best OF public
schools. BY annexing to Cedar Rap
ids we would have a five cent car fare,
which would enable those with busi-
ness in Cedar Rapids to reside in
Marion if they so chose. Marion is so
situated that there is no prospect or
the town becoming a manufacturing
center, so that the next best thing to
do is to annex to Cedar Rapids and
become residence city. Annexation
would settle the long, drawnout court
house dispute, and would tend to place
the people of the two communities on
more amicable relations

A Magnificent Production.

Manager Joseph Shipman has
been communicated with in an eff
fort to have him place our city on
his route for one performance of
his elaborate New York cast and
production of Twelfth Night, !"
Shakespeare's delightful comedy.

Successful Farmers Course.

The second annual ten-days'
farmers course which has just
closed proved remarkably success
ful IN every respect. In spite OF
the unfavOrable weather and the
blockade of railroad traffic during
the opening week of the course,
22S farmers from various parts of
the state were in attendance. This
is an increase Of SO, or nearly one
third, over the attendance of last
year, when IT'S were present. Over
twenty farmers who attended the
course last year were present again
this year. The course which was
carefully arranged and conducted
in a plain. direct manner, was in
tended to give practical, helpful in
struction to busy farmers who can
leave their work for but short
time during the winter. Besides
the regular instruction gwen by the
professors of the college of agri-
culture, there were a number of in
teresting lectures and demonstra-
tions by special lecturers. Mr.. John
Goslin of Kansas City, expert
feeder and butcher, demonstrated
methods of slaughtering cattle;
State Veterinarian Roberts and pro-
lessor Russell showed the effects of
tuberculosis in cattle by demonstra-
ton of tuberculous cow. John
Splan, of Chicago, the well-known
horseman, who brought out the
famous ''Rarus," aroused great in
terest by his talks on horse breed
ing, in the course of which he de-
monstrated the great possibilities of
Wisconsin as a horse breeding state.
1t is the aim of the Wisconsin
college of agriculture to increase the
scope and quality of the farmers
course instruction, and with that
end in view preparations have al
ready been begun for next years
work. It is the desire of Dean
Henry and his staff to secure with
in the next few years from 500 to
1000 farmers for this course.

ABOUT March.

Standing on that shadowy line
that runs between spring and win
ter, March pauses tremblingly and
afraid. Now she casts a longing
look at fading snow and then she
blows low, sweet lullaby over the
tulips cradle or drops a sardonic
grim at the big, lean robin that
came in to get the forward worm.
March is the month of the varying
wind and changeful sky. Today
she pipes in softest notes and plants
the microbes of springs own fever
deep down in the breast of man.
Tomorrow she'll send him on the
run to the coal dealer-or to the
doctor, while she falls, like a bold
jade, into the lap of winter wind.
Now her sky is soft and blue as the
blue eyes of blonde beauty, and
in seventeen minutes by the Shrew-
bury clock, you can't see the sky
through the blizzard.

Town and City Politics.

The annual city election will be
held Tuesday, April 4th, and at the
same time County Judge Goodsell
and County Supt. Nye will be re-
elected.
City and town politics is barely
simmering and with exception,
of two contests for aldermanic hon
ors the conflict will be void of
interest, unless there's change i'm,
the program.
In the townships nothing is heard
concerning the officers to be voted
on. A number of good men are
mentioned for the various positions,
but there's nothing definite about
who will enter the race.
In the FIRST ward Of the city Thos.
lockwood is candidate for re-elec-
ton as supervisor and J. r. Place
for alderman. Neither one of the
gentleman has opposition.
In the second ward nomination
papers have been circulated for w.
j. Brennan as supervisor and he
will undoubtedly be reelected by a
unanimous vote. Robt. Brooker
and VIM. L. Miller are candidates
for alderman, the former being
present incumbent. Both are good
men. Mr.. Miller is in favor Of
giving the Northwes tern hotel
a liquor license, although tenn
perance advocate. He believes
there is being discrimination prac-
ticed and favors fair play. Mr.
Brokers attitude on this question
is already well known.
In the third ward Aid. Wetter is
candidate for reelection but will
have opposition. John Jordan is
also a candidate and the friends of
L. Alt are urging him to come out
also. Thos. Mcdonald desires the
office of supervisor no longer and
VIM. P. Richardson is anxious for
the honor.
In the fourth ward all is tranquil
ty. Chairman Richard Meyer has
no opposition for supervisor and
Aid. Henry Henkel, retiring official,
is in the field for reelection with
no opposition.
In the south town several good
men are spoken of for the chairman
ship but none have announced
themselves.

tack and beans, for the reason that
their teeth are like themselves. A
splendid social time was had at

thusiastic over the boundless

Idle Musings.

AS the spring season approaches
the ''swell head" becomes very
much in evidence-dld you ever
notice it! Perhaps it's new clothes
that makes the difference, but we
never could see why one young
man was any better than another.
A young man with fine clothes and
his hair parted in the. middle,
doesn't make gentleman any
more than one swallow makes
summer. Pride is always COM
mendable, provided it fits the
wearer, but false pride is to be
scorned at-a man with false pride
and hypocrite are in the same
class. There is difference between
a real gentleman and man who
assumes the airs of gentleman.
**
Don't make the mistake of think
ing brains are everything. You
may have the best set of brains in
town, but if you haven't the man
ners Of gentleman, nobody is 60
ing to appreciate you. There is no
capital and equipment any young
man can have that will pay him
better than good manners. There
is no possible calling for which they
do not better fit him. If he has
brains the world owes him some
thing, but unless he has good man
ners he will have hard time col
lectlng it.
First we teach a child to talk and
then to hold its tongue. A family
living in the south part of town is
having all kinds of troubles Just
because mamma had been careless
in the second duty. The other even
ing on preparing the little ones for
bed the loving mother was sur
prised because little Katy refused
to kiss the hired girl goodnight
when she did the rest. The lady
has always treated the hired girl as
one of the family and has taught
the children to do the same. so she
could pot imagine the sudden change
in little Katy. After considerable
persuasion which was of no avail
she questioned the little one as to
her reason for not wanting to kiss
them all. Because Use 'fraid she'll
slap me like she did papa this morn
ing" the child replied. The neigh
bors say the girl is looking for an
other place.

The Minnesota Prison Mirror
contains this bit of philosophy. "A
rattlesnake will always sound
warning before he strikes, but a
man who says evil of another never
does" Possible this applies to
several Lancaster people of both
sexes. Think it over, and the next
time you feel like roasting someone,
ask yourself if you are consistent
and estimate your self at least as
high as you would rattlesnake.
