NOT AN ORNAMENT
The Removal of the Scales to
the West Side of Market
= Square Pavilion.
WITH ATTENDING ALTERATION
city's Advantages to the Farmers Bad
Enough as II is and Are Not
Bettered.

Had the city council given serious
thought To the subject of removal of
the public scales from the south to the
west side of Market square pavilion. il
is doubtful if the change would have
been made. for as il nears completion
it proves not only a botch. but an un,
necessary expenditure of money.
The building, as originally designed,
is in the first place ornamental. and
in the second place conceals its main
object For a public scales in the
heart of a city the size of Rock Island
is about as much in keeping with mu-
nicipal progress as a toll bridge. In
Rock Islands case. the toll bridge
keeps farmers out of town. and the To-
cation of the public market square.
where it is, involves unnecessary hard
ship upon the farmers in requiring
them TO come into one of the most
dangerous parts of the city with their
horses. which. in the majority of in
stances, are easily frightened by the
electric cars.

Decides on Building.
PLANS BEING MADE
Architect Joseph Bell DeRemer Is now at
Work on the Plans and Specifl:a-

This Year.

The School of Forestry board con-
sisting of w. O. DePuy of Rolla, H.
A. Kirkelie of Bowbells and David
Clark of this city met here Monday
in regard to suitable building for
the school. It was decided to build
main building a. by 7e feet with
wings on either side 36 by SO feet
in size. The building will be three
stories high. the upper floor to be used
as a dormitory. The building will
cost when completed about $50, ,0Oo
but the board will spend only $4,000
this year in the erection of one of the
wings to the main bnilding. Arch
itect Joseph Bell DeRemer Of Grand
Forks is now preparing plans and
specifications for and will superin-
tend the construction of the building.
The contract will be awarded as soon
as the architect completes his work.
It is certainly good news to Bottin eau
citizens that we will at last begin to
see something tangible of the School
of Forestry.

These enemies say rather uncompli-

only of Tarbell. that he makes great

that In the old days he organized min

that he sold large amounts Of stock,

neighbors in New York, and that most
everybody lost by these deals except

to again receive batch of advertis-

Chautauqua, but as usual, we have
consiguned it to the waste basket.
We do not do this out of discourtesy
to the Chautauqua, but we believe in
running the Independent on business
lines and money talks. The Devils
Lake Chautauqua is run not for the
love of lot of hard work, we vent
ure to say, but to make money. That
is why we are in the newspaper busi-
ness. We got through working for
love fifteen years ago. Come now,
Bro. Davis if you really want good
writeup of the Chautauqua dig up
with the newspaper boys and you will
find that it pays. We will gladly
pay our way into the Chautauqua,
which is worthy enough affair.

A Word In Point.

A professor in an American agricult.
ural college, now travelling in Europe,
was speaking at a banquet about
America and her advantages, when
a Scotchman called his attention to
the fact that America with her great
agricultural institutions and her advan-
tages of rich soil was now producing
a yield of wheat the average of which
was only 13 bushels per acre, while in
England the average was twenty nine.
These things hit hard, but until the
people look upon up-to date farming
as a profession and get over the idea
that when man ia lis at everything
else under heaven hecan 60 onto piece
Of land and be good farmer at that,
America will deserve all she will get
out of it. Running out land is not
farming it, by any means, and to-
day the vast majority of our so-called
farmers are doing little else.
The Canadian West will soon be
in the same category if more attention
is not paid to the conservation and
renewal of the fertility Of the soil.
Perhaps the western farmer will, in
time, realize that bushels an acre
off 100 acres is more profitable than
Is bushels off 200 acres, but at the
present time they seem to be slow in
putting the lesson in practice-Man-
itoba Free Press.

revealed by his words. are shown by
his career.
Keynote Of TarbelI's Life.
Often man by one remark gives a
glimpse of his whole character. Here
is one Of Tarbelrs made in an address
to group Of agents. He explained
that it was his habit to rise early and
walk out in the morning air. One
morning Mrs. Tarbell Joined him.
"Why. Cage she exclaimed, isn't it
perfectly lovely after you are once
upT In flash he responded: ut is,
yes. It is 50 all the way through life.
1t is perfectly lovely after you once get
up"
After you once get up! That is the
keynote to the mans whole life. That
Is the refrain running through the ad-
vice to his agents. Get up, get up,
young mani Don't be drudge. Don't
be afraid. Make money. Go to the
top. The world Is beautiful after you
get there. Have confidence in your
self. Push. drive, do things. Results
count. Get up.
Evidently he has followed his own
advice. He has got up. From a poor
boy to the second vice presidency Of
one Of the great insurance companies
Of the world. a company spanning
two continents. A salary greater than
that received by the president Of the
United States. Plans well laid for an
other step higher. He has driven for
this, schemed for It, worked night and
day for It, stirred up his agents for It,
given rebates to write more business
for It, kept his eye on the main chance
for It, written more policies than any
other agent Ii the United States for It,
and i has come. 1T u perfectly love
