A Eami.hsd Heart.

A Famished Heart.
I know that deep within your heart Of
hearts
You hold mo shrined apart from COM
mon things,
And that my step. my voice. can bring to
you
A gladness that no other presence
brings.
And vet. dear love, through all the weary
days
You never speak one word of tender
Nor stroke my hair nor softly clasp my
hand
Within your own in loving, mute caress.
You think perhaps should be all content
To know SO well the loving place hold
Within your life, and SO you do not dream
How much I long to hear the story told.
You cannot know. when we two sit alone
And tranquil thoughts within your soul
are stirred,
Ny heart is crying like tired child
Eor one fond look, one gentle, loving
1t may be when your eyes look into mine
You only say, "Kow dear she is to mel"
Oh, could read It in your softened
glance,
How radiant this plain old world would
be!
Perhaps sometimes you breathe secret
prayer
Tint choicest blessings unto me be
given,
But Ii YOU said aloud. God bless thee,
deari,'
should not ask greater boon from
heaven.
I weary sometimes OF the rugged way.
But should you say, Through thee my
life is sweet"
The dreariest desert that our path could
cross
Would suddenly grow green beneath my
feet.
IT'S not the boundless waters ocean holds
That give refreshment to the thirsty
flowers,
But just the drops that. rising to the
skies,
From thence descend in softly falling
showers.
What matter that our granaries are filled
With all the richest harvest's golden
stores
II we who own them cannot enter in,
But famished stand before the close
barred doors?
And 20 tits sad that those who should be
rich
In that .a.;,, true ~, love which crowns our
Go praying with white lips from day to
day
For loves sweet tokens and receive

"BLEAK REMOTE 500 LAND.

A Baltimore newspaper argues that
the high price of farm lands in the
west may have a marked effect upon
the destines of the state of Maryland,
and indeed Of the south as a whole.
| "Will people, it asks, "be willing ito
pay 500 or more for farm lands in the
middle west when lands south of Ma
son and Dixon's line, where the, cli-
mate is better and markets more ac-
cessible, can be had for one tenta the
price demanded on the bleak AMI re-
mote prairies"
1t is not unlikely that the rapidly in
creasing price of land in the northwest
and the rate at which all available
farm lands are being absorbed, will de-
fleet some rills from the tide of immi-
grafton that is pouring into and over
the unoccupied lands of the west and
northwest, but when the Baltimore pa
per speaks of 500 land on bleak and re-
mote prairies,,. it affords western farm
ers amusement.
If the editorial writer whose con-
ception of the middle west where corn
land finds an anxious purchaser at $1Or
and even two and half times 500 an
acre, could drive past some of the hum
dred dollar acres of Marshall county,
his pre-conceived ideas of bleak re-
moteness would change with a sudden
ness shockiugly abrupt. If he had
paradise in his sleep, his surprise
would not be greater. Bleak, with the
big red barns and spacious furnace
and steam heated houses? Remote, with
the telephone on the wall, stretching
it's tentachlar wires a thousand miles
in every direction and with the mail
carrier. at the door with a daily mirror
of the wide world? When the story of
disaster on the Atlantic coast comes to
the same celebrity that it does to the
seaboard cities and Iowa farmers read
ofthe burning of Baltimore while its ter
rified citizens are seeking shelter and
safety? When the particulars of the
destruction of San Francisco are in the
hands of the Iowa farmer before the
earth throe has ceased? Hundr ed dol

The understanding of the eastern
man who has never been west and his
narrow conception Of western life
and society. Is one Of the lldicrous
things of life like the cockney's con-
viction that bears run wild in The out

and a lifetime record of straight re-
publican vote, "intended to vote for
Lacey, but if they can scratch Cum
minis and Garst, l can scratch Lacey"
And it's scratching they are going to
do all along the line this year. With
the circle eliminated from the ballot
this year, the standpatter will omit to
make a cross against the names of
Cummins and Garst They will also
forget to make a mark opposite the
names of the democratic candidates for
the same office. This plan will enable
them to say to their childrens chill
dren, Il never voted the democratic
ticket in my life" And it may as well
be admitted that several republicans
here will forget to vote for either cam
didate for congress. just the same,
Lacey will carry Grinnell.
There's considerable at stake right
here next Tuesday. Surprising Lacey
was defeated, how about Ray and the
postoffice? Years of faithful party
service has brought that plum almost
within his grasp. Four years ago. he
stepped one side and let Cobb Rob-
erts have it; even went down to Os-
kaloosa with George Christian, saw
Lacey and fixed up everything lively.
And he smiled the next day just as
natural as life. But now supposing
Lacey is defeated? Well, we won't sup
pose
And there.is that United States mar
shalship. hung up till after election.
Again. supposing Lacey is defeated;
who'll get 1t? Even supposing Lacey
is elected, who'll get it? Surprising
Poweshiek lets Lacey fall off two or
three hundred votes, will Lacey lay
that up against George Christian and
behead him. At this writing there Is
an expressed feeling that Lacey will
lose Jasper county, in that event
Charley Hinsdale fail to receive the
appointment just because he didn't
carry the county for Lacey. The 9TH
err candidate for the marshalship will
be able ITO point with pride" at "the
nice big majority we gave Lacey"
Will Cal Manning be rewarded for
such result, or be turned down be-
cause Lacey could carry that county
anyway. With all these things in
mind several of us will not pay strict
attention to the sermon tomorrow.

A wOmAN,s Trade.

| Mrs. Roosevelt, wife of the president
! is reported to be an excellent cook and
proud of the accomplishment. Mrs.
! Cortelyou and Mrs. Taft are also re-
markably fine cooks and Mrs. Leslie NJ.
| Shaw is noted for her ability to make es-
| pecially good bread. Any one of these
| women it is said could get up crack
| ing good dinner for hugry people If all
strike at once.
Why not? With the exception
of Mrs. Roosevelt all of them
can recall the time when they felt un-
able Ito keep girl" and did their own
work Mr.. Cortelyou is only a few
years away from the salary of stem
ographer and stenographers have the
same difficulties in making salaries
meet desire and even need that other
salaried workers experience. Without
doubt Mrs Cortelyou has had much
practical experience in cooking and
scheming the leftovers into appetizing
dishes for the next days breakfasts
and luncheons. Mrs. Shaw, like the
wives of hundreds of country bankers,
baked her own bread while the secre-
tary of the treasury in future was
hustling down town for the price of the
materials. Here in America there are
fo, nf rI mr.
ence whose wives have not had their
hands in bread dough. If it is only
three generations here from shirt
sleeves to shirtsleeves, it is less than
one from bingham aprons to decollete
gowns. Doubtless Mrs. Shaw still could
show her daughters the way to dress
clothesline in the spotless purity Of
Monday morning wash"
There is something wholesomely
wifelike about a woman who knows how
to cook. 1t is an accomplishment that
puts the artist and musician to shame.
When we go back to that old time that
is best in the memory Of all, most OF
us see central figure whose presence
'pervaded the house from foundation to
attic; whose deft hands cooked and
nended and touched all things to the
increase of comfort and the multiple
cation of home joys. No woman comes
so close to the lives of her own as she
whose hands actually minister to their
needs; who touches with her own fin
gers the keys that evoke home harmon
les 1t is hard for us of the elder gen.
Grafton to understand motherhood that
cannot mend torn garment and make
cookies. There is no closer tie between
Mesdames Shaw and Cortelyou and the
millions than their apprenticeship and
service in the ordinary duties of wife
and motherhood before their husbands
grew great.
Every wife should be a competent
cook as eevry husband should be
competent provider. Every mother
should learn the dexterity and know
the satisfaction Of doing for her own"
That every boy should "have a trade
to fall back on" no matter what his eX-
pectation Of inheritance, is generally
conceded. Why not teach the girl her
trade?

try in the United States, altho this in
dustry gave employment to only 74.134
wage earners, as compared with 404,-
626 for lumber and timber products.
The greatest absolute increase in the
value Of products since 1900 is shown
for the manufacture of flour and grist
mill products, and in the number Of
wage earners for cars and general shop
construction and repairs by steam
railroad companies.
In 1905 the average establishment, as
computed from the total for all in
dustries in the entire country, en-
ployed 25 wage earners and had an an
nual product value at $6S.445.
There were 24,1so establishments for
which the value of products was $780,
900 and over The extent to which
manufacturs were controlled by these
large establishments is shown by the
fact. that, altho they formed only 11.2
per cent Of the total number, they con-
trolled S1.5 per cent of the capital
invested, gave employment to 71.6 per

The states east of the Mississippi
river and north of the Mason and Dix
on line and the Ohio river. contained
65.5 per cent of the establishment to
TAI per cent of the number of wage
earners, and reported 1870 per cent Of
the total value of products.
The salaried employees numbered

increase Of 155,549, or 42.7 per cent.
The average number of wage earners
employed during the year increased
from 4,715,O23 in 1900 to 5,47O,321 in
1905.
In addition to the salaried employees,
there were 225,704 proprietors and firm
members reported at the census of
1905.
In 1905 the manufacture of lumber
and timber products gave employment
to the largest average number of wage
earners, and whalebone cutting to the
least. The greatest number OF wage
earners employed at any one time dur
ing the year was 7,017,138, and the
least, 4,599,091.
OF the principal industries the great
est variation in employment at differ
ent seasons of the year is shown for
the canning of vegetables and fruits, in
which the average number of wage
earners for September was 1916, and
for February. 6,112. The least varia-
zion is shown for the tanning and cur
rying OF leather, the highest average.

Fishermen in Waters Of

Advices received in Washington TO
the effect that the three fishing com

the gulf waters have caused some dis
quiet In view Of the announced inten-
ton OF the Mexican government TO
seize every foreign vessel taking fish
in Mexican waters. II appears that
the Mexican government asserts that
for many years American poachers
have been operating within the three
mile limit. and after repeated warn.
ings II has now determined to stop
the practice. AS the United States
has no treaty with Mexico granting
our citizens the right TO fish within
territorial waters there is no ground
for protest on the part OF the state
department in case OF seizures. once
the fact is established that the YES
sells were actually within the marine
