Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1906-09-12

Just now an announcement is made
that has more than passing interest an
announcement that means thousands
of dollars TO the farmers of the state.
AS the result of series of experiments
it has been found that alcohol can be
extracted from the cobs of corn. One
of the great problems at the many
corn canning factories of the state
has been to dispose of the waste, es-
pecially the cobs and the husks.
OF course the husks in time will dry
and can be burned, but not so with
cobs. They soon become sour and it
is necessary TO keep them hauled away.
The discovery that alcohol can be
produced from these cobs, means that
what has heretofore been source of
annoyance and expense will be con-
verted into most valuable by-pro-
duct. The tests which have been
made show that there are eleven gal
Ions of alcohol i'll ton of green corn
cobs after the corn has been shaved
off and put into cans. There are six
gallons of alcohol in ton of stalks
Both of these facts have just been
brought to light and add another
source TO the long list of products from
which alcohol can be manufactured.

1t will probably be an item of news
to most of our readers that our genial
postmaster is not compelled to make
change for you when you make pur-
chases at Uncle Sans office. This is
a queer rule that not one in thousand
persons know. Buyers of stamps or
any purchases at postoffice mast fur.
nish their own change; i. g., the post
master could insist ON the buyer fur
nishing his own change if he sees fit
to do it; but usually the postmaster
is glad enough to get rid of his
"chicken feed" and he is always
ready and willing to accommodate the
public by making all the change it asks
for. If a man wishes TO buy fifty cents
worth of stamps and has but silver
dollar, he would be compelled to buy
n dollars worth of stamps or go and
get his silver dollar changed or do
without his stamps if the postmaster
was stubborn and refused to make
change for him. This is the law and
queer one according TO our way of
thinking. And postmasters are not
compelled to take more than twenty
five pennies at one time, if they do
not want them.

from the mountains. There are about
5000 people in the city. and it is the
western division point of the D. & r.
g., from which connections are made
for all parts of the west. The fruit
industry is enormous, the shipments
for the ranch owners being made
through three large produce companies
owned and controlled by the ranch
owners. lii this valley, about thirty
five by nine miles in area, the profit
from fruit runs as high as 81. 900 per
acre, and we were shown one acre of
peaches and pears which netted the
owner last year 81 800. Orchard land
sells all the way from 1900 to $1,000
per acre, and finds a ready market.
The fruit ranches average about
twelve acres in size. and produce fruit
of such delicious flavor. such great
size and beauty that it never fails to

THE NEW SCHOOL LAW.
County Superintendents Will Welcome New
Law as il Relieves Them Of Hard Work.

County superintendents will be
obliged to hold only one more teach
ers examination in which they will
grade the papers This will be held
the last FRIDAY and Saturday of Sep
tember Beginning with October the
questions will be sent out from the
state department of public instruction
and manuscript will be returned there
for examination by a number. of read
ers chosen from among the county
superintendent.
The new custom is hailed with
delight by county superintendent who
have been burdened with the work
of wading through stacks of manu-
script in search Of errors i'll answers
given to questions propounded to the
candidates for teachers certificates.
The new plan will perhaps prove
more exacting upon the teachers, as
no leniency will be shown to any
one. All must then stand upon their
own merits. 1t matters not how good
record the teacher has made IN
the school room. Her ability to teach
Will be judged by her answers to
the dozen or more lists of questions
submitted TO her. The county superin-
tendents can aid her only in grading
her paper in didactics. 1t will re-
move from superintendents the temp
tation TO issue certificates to young
ladies whose fathers may be in
fiuencial i'll politics, while the young
ladies do not possess the necessary
qualifications to teach.
In this respect the new law will be
a blessing. Temptation will be re-
moved from weak or designing
superintendents, and the girl without
influential friends will fare as we'll
as the rich and highly connected
young lady. All papers will look
alike TO the examining board and
honors will be distributed with equal
justice to all.
All certificates issued by the county
superintendent before October will
be valid until the date of their ex-
piration, and it is probable that all over
Iowa school ma 'ams and masters will
flock TO the superintendent like doves
to the windows. They will wish to
put off the inevitable day as long as
possible. 1t is going to be pretty
tough on some of the old teachers
whose certificates have been re-
newed from year TO year without
examination, to get down to answer
ing lists of questions pertaining to
reading, writing, music, didactics,
arithmetic. history, civil govern
ment, political economy, physical
geography, grammar, algebra and
natural philosophy But they will
have TO try when the certificates issued
by the county superintendent expire, if
they wish TO continue to teach.

Rural carriers are forbidden to carry
packages under four pounds in weight
not fully prepaid at government rates
for carrying mail matter and they are
strictly forbidden to carry as passen-
gers any person not connected with
the mail service, even members of
their own family. The carriers are
constantly asked TO accommodate the
public by the infraction of these
rules, and much embarrassed, for they
risk dismissal from the service when
they commit these errors plainly noted
in their instructions. They may
carry packages over four pounds in
weight, but say, do not ask the boys
to do it for nothing as they are the
poorest paid of government employees,
