Barely Beats West Des Moines

Meet at Iowa City
eRlNNELL WINS THIRD PLACE
MarshaIItown With Only One Repre-

Fourth Position in the Meet-Three
State Records Broken-The Base
Ball Scores-MisceIIaneo News.

Iowa City, May 19.-Ida Grove again
won the state high school field meet
yesterday with lead of only three
points over West Des Moines The
first part of the meet looked like a
walkaway for Ida Grove, but the Des
Moines boys began to climb up, and
had Ida Grove not placed its last
event, the. half-mile relay, the result
would have been tie. Murphy, of Ida
Grove, won the individual honors with
thirteen points, McMartint of Des
Moines, being second with ten points.
Three state records went by the
board, Turner, of Grinnell, lowering
the mark for the 22O-yard dash a quar-
ter second; Murphy, of Ida Grove,
making record shot put, and Macom-
ber of West Des Moines, SCATTERING
the hammer record held by Parry, the
"Oskaloosa Giant" of Chicago Univer-
sity. The prettiest event Of the meet
was the half-mile relay, not three
inches separating West Des Moines
and Ida Grovel runners at the finish.
Harris, of West Des Moines, ran a
splendid race in the $40, winning by
pure grit, tho with a safe margin.
In the preliminaries Woodrow, of
North Des Moines, had a bad fall. He
was running the low hurdles and was
leading in the heat, when he thrust his
foot thru a hurdle, breaking bone i'll
the ankle.
One of the surprises was that Har-
ris, the West Des Moines star, failed
to qualify in the 220-yard dash. He
was beaten in the first preliminary by
Perry, of Marshalltown, and ran in the
second contest against Ward of Ida
Grove, who had been beaten by Turner,
of Grinnell. Ward defeated him with
out any trouble, as Harris seemed very
much exhausted.
Ida Grove won out easily in the mile
relay, crossing the tape twenty-fiv
yards ahead Of the nearest East Des
Mones competitor. In the broad
jump Courson, of Clarion, suffered a
bad accident at the outset of the trials.
sustaining badly sprained ankle. He
bound it UP, however, went on with the
event. and succeeded in landing the
third place for his school.

A Farmers Talk to Farmers.

Before DR.. Hartman began the study
of medicine he was farmer boy. He
was brought up on farm in Southern
Pennsylvania.
He belonged to that industrial, sue
cessful class Of farmers known as the
Pennsylvania Dutch, the best farmers
in the world.
1t was here that he early learned the
lesson of pulling obnoxious things out
by the roots.
DR.. Hartman's Method Of Treating
Catarrh.
Naturally, when he began the study
of medicine his mind turned instructive
ly toward the removing of causes. He
could not content himself with doctor
ing symptoms any more than his enter
prisina; father could have contented
himself by pulling off the tops Of weeds
to eradicate them from the soil.

There was one Philadelphia who not
only invented arms for himself, but
new and republican arms, after dis
cardtng the ancestral arms of his fam
lily. This was Peter Brown, at one
time an eminent citizen of Philadel-
phia. In 1874 William Priest, an Eng
lish musician, became attached to the
theater in Philadelphia in his pro-
fessional capacity. In 1902 Mr.. Priest
printed in London book entitled
Priests Travels In the United
States" which is now exceedingly
rare. The frontispiece to this book is
strange and curious design, entitled
'Peter Browns Arms" In explana-
ton of this frontispiece Mr.. Priest
says: peter Brown, blacksmith OF
this city, having made his fortune,
set up his coach, but so far from be-
ing ashamed Of the means by which
he acquired his riches he caused a
large anvil to be painted ON each side
Of his carriage, with two pairs Of max
ed arms in the act of striking. The

Father of Modern Landscape.

Constable painted the scene as he
saw it, but he was not satisfied with
merely copying nature. 1t was to him
so real companion that, in the first
place, he tried to make it live in his
pictures-that the clouds might move
and overhang the spot, thatrits atmos-
phere might penetrate every part Of
the scene and that trees and water and
the very plants by the roadside might
move and have their being in ii, and
secondly, he put his own personal af-
lection into his representation. Then,
too, in the matter of color, which can
not be judged from the reproduction,
he dared to paint nature green, as he
saw 1t, and the skies blue, with the
sunshine either yellow or glaring
white. 1t is, then, because Of this
closer faithfulness to the hues Of ma
ture and to the effects Of movement, Of
atmosphere and of light and because
he interpreted nature according to his
own mood that Constable is called the
father Of modern landscape. for these
are the qualities that particularly oc-
cupied the artists of the nineteenth
century-St. Nicholas.

THE MONEY CRAZE.
Wrong Standard by Which the World
Is Prone to Measure Men.

The money craze, or tendency to
con.nercialze the ideal. is found in all
wa.Vs of life. Never before were so
many clergymen, especially young
clergymen. leaving the pulpit to go in
to business. The great commercial
prizes are so tempting that their own
pitiful salaries look contemplate in
comparison. There are clergymen 10
the American pulpit preaching for u
few hundred dollars year who know
perfectly well, and everybody else
knows, too, that they could make many
times as much money in business ca
reers. Many of them do not see why
they should not become rich and pow
erful They do not understand why
using this money making capacity is
not as legitimate for them as for 9TH
ers. In other words, there Is n power
full temptation today for clergyman
to turn his creative faculties into mon
ey making channels.
Many of our lawyers are looking for
big fees rather than for great legal
acumen or high standing at the bar.
They know that lawyers are envied
today not so much as members of a
great and learned profession, uphold
ers of the majesty and justice of the
law, as because many Of them make
a great deal of money from their prac-
tice. They know, too, that they are
ranked by fellow lawyers largely In
proportion to their ability to get big
fees. 1t is well known that some Of
the men who get enormous fees and
yers at all and have nothing like the
legal ability of others who are not
paid quarter of their fees. What is
his practice worth? seems to be the
question by which to measure a law
yers standing in the minds Of most
people
Physicians and surgeons are meas
ured in much the same way. How Of
ten we hear it said, "Why. that physi-
clan has a practice Of $4,000 a year."
Sometimes the sum named is twice or
thrice as great. Just as If this was
the measure Of physicians useful
ness! OF course in sense getting
enormous fees is some proof Of his
ability, but it is not the best evidence
Of mans real service to the world.
Many authors today do not seem to
think so much of putting Immortality
into their compositions-of writing
books which shall live through all time
las Of earning the largest amount of
money possible with their pens. Few
modern writer's would spend years up
on tiny bit of composition or ex-
change their lives for few immortal
verses or single book that the world
would not let die.-Success.

The Homestead Combination.

Farmers are generally conceded to
be the best informed of all classes OF
American citizens. This is not be-
use they read more than others, but
because their reading matter is better
selected, is read under conditions less
distracting and more favorable to to
recollection, and therefore is better
digested and more firmly retained.
Even in the busiest seasons, farmers
keep up with current events and know
fully as well as townsfolks what is
going on in the world. Their families,
! too, are we'll posted ON current events.
