SOME INTELLIG ENT FARMING.

The happy, happy farmer who feeds
the world, is learning The farmers Of
Whatcom county in the State of Wash
ington have organized a market associ-
alton to handle all kinds of farm pro-
ducts. They will establish headquar-
tiers at Bellingham, where they will
build warehouses and operate cold stor-
age plants. A home delivery system
will be maintained, and local and out
side dealers will be supplied with pro-
duce at wholesale rates. The estab-
lishment of other distributing stations
will enable the members of the associ-
alton to market eggs, fruit, vegetables
and poultry in the sections where they
are produced, and the surplus win be
shipped to headquarters and disposed
of to outside dealers. Money for car
rying on the work of the association
will be obtained by selling shares OF
stock at $40 a share. Only those farm
ers who hold stock will be permitted
to market produce through the associ-
alton, but the ownership of single
share will entitle the holder to all the
privileges of the cooperative plan.
This is a promising move. Perhaps
by and by many who are now ground
beneath the iron heel Of the octopuses
will be able to better their condition
by becoming octopuses themselves.

on the charge of pocket peddling"

when one of the big shows was exhib-

Laccomb was arraigned before the
fudge whom he had faced so many
times. "Mr. Laccomb," said Judge
Shaw, stand up. You are charged
with selling one pint of whiskey this

guilty or not guilty?" 'Not guilty.
On it judge, you ought to know by
This time that I am a consumer, not a

A Fine Showing,

According to the report to the con-
troller of the currency June IS of the
condition of national banks Iowa is
shown to have more than any other
state in the union, while it is known
it also has more state banks.
The state has twice as much money
in banks as either California or
Nebraska, about the same as Indiana,
80 per cent more than Connecticut,
nearly five times as much as New
Hampshire, which lends money all
over the. country as much as Kentucky,
Georgia and Alabama taken together /;
more than Michigan. three -fourths as
much as Massachusetts, almost as
much as Texas and more than half as
much as Ohio.
The recent bank call credits Iowa
with S71, 1850, 900 of individual deposits
in national banks. The business of
organizing and increasing the capital
of these institutions has gone right
ahead in the state year after year, to
the wonderment of the officials of the
controllers department, whose COM
ment on this curious western state are
very interesting.
But, in truth, the other middle
western states are wonders. Thus
Kansas has more money in national
banks bleeding Kansas than Vir-
ginia, California or Connecticut; il
has twice as much as Georgia or Ala
bama and three-fourths as much as
Michigan. The records of bank de-
posits show how very fast the seat of
financial empire is settling in the
Mississippi and Missouri valleys.

Wise Naturalization Laws.

Ine new NATURALIZATION Dill wnlcn
passed both houses of Congress pro-
vides a uniform method of naturaliza-
tion throughout the country.
The bill requires that admission to
citizenship shall not be granted in less
than two years after the declaration of
intention. The seventh section provides
that mo person who disbelieves in or
who is opposed to organized govern
ment" shall be naturalized. The bill
provides also that no alien shall
hereafter be naturalized who cam
not speak the English language. The
law goes into effect ninety days after
approval by the President.
This is good law. 1t should have
been enacted long ago. 1t is hoped
that the time will come when only
naturalized or native born citizens
shall have the right to vote. This is
supposed now to be the case, but it is
not so. The right to vote comes from
the state, not the nation; natural
izaion comes from the nation and.
requires at least five years continuous
residence within the United States.
AS result in nearly one half the
states aliens who have declared their
intention to become citizens are
granted the right to vote equally with
native born citizens. In several states
an alien may vote in six months after
his arrival in America. In Nebraska
to vote in six months an alien must
have declared his intention to become
a citizen only thirty days before
election. The conditions for citizen
ship should be uniform in state and
nation.

Luther College Band Pleases.

The concert given by the Luther
College (Decorah) band, Friday eve-
ming, was one of those musical treats
which do not come our way half as
often as we would like. The band
consists of forty three pieces, splendid
ly balanced. and the leader, Mr..
Sperati, seems to have the faculty of
enthusing his men AMI giving them a
touch of inspiration that lifts some of
them up almost to the level of artists.
This Mr.. Sperati, by the way, comes
by his talent through hered.ty and
descent. He is of Italian origin on
his fathers side and the family have
been musicians for generations.
The band played at the church services
in the Somber church on Sunday
morning, and in the afternoon gave a
sacred concert in the beautiful grounds
around the parsonage. Hundreds of
people had congregated to hear them,
among them a vast number from
Northwood who had heard them al.
ready, but wanted more. The band is
a delight and an Inspiration, and in
cidentally splendid advertisement
for Luther college. Worth County

SHAW ON THE STUMP.

Many newspapers which do moi
like Secretary Shaw seem to feel il
incumbent on them to explain his
long service as secretary of the
treasury. Thus the Springfield,
Mass, Republican says:
Mr.. Shaw's long stay in the cabinet
is party explained bv his ability
as a stump speaker The president
finds him handy in this way, and
recommends him to local campaign
committees. Some such explanation
is needed for the statement that Mr..
Shaw has received invitations to
speak in nearly all of the debatable
congressional districts of the Uni ted
States next autumn.
We doubt if the secretary's ability
on the stump has had anything what
ever to do with his remaining in the
cabinet, while it is certainly not
necessary to ring in the president in
order to explain the demand he is
in in the contested congressional
districts.
LHClO dlc StNcIdl SOOu TedSOuS WHY
the president has urged Secretary
Shaw to remain in the cabinet. One is,
the secretary has been an unusually
efficient officer. Another is, the exact
man to take his place has not been
readily found. A third is, there has
been more or less sensitiveness in the
New York money market for several
years, and change in the secretary
ship might at any time have added to
the feeling Of uncertainty.
Congressman who are doubtful of
reelection are after Secretary Shaw
for readily discernable reasons. There
is no man on the stump who can state
the general republican proposition
more attractively. Even if he was out
OF office entirely, Secretary Shaw
would be. in the same demand. The
presidents recommendation is not
needed to insure the secretary an
opportunity to speak. Register and

light, an 85-candle power lamp in
Germany costing three-quarters of
cent an hour. Alcohol will heat
f1atirons for two hours work at cost
of2 cents. Scientists explain the
high efficiency of alcohol as a motive
force as due to the great elasticity
derived from the expansion of the
water vapor contained or produced
in the alcohol at the moment
of combustion. French expert
menters, notably NJ. Oelkers. have
indicated the following yields of
various motors: Steam, 13 per cent !;
lamp petroleum, II to 13 per cent
gasoline, 10 per cent; alcohol, 23 per
cent.
The best results are obtained with
alcohol when motors especially built
for this fuel are employed, although
motors are now manufactured which
are equally well adapted for gasoline
or alcohol.
Although in Germany the use of al
cohol for motive power has been very
successful. prospective manufacturers
OF the denaturized product in this
country are considering conditions on
this side of the Atlantic before back
ing the. new enterprise too heavily.
1t is considered unlikely that the
manufacture of the product can be
carried on so cheaply here as in Ger
many, and the point which the capit-
alists are trying to determine is
whether it can be produced here to
sell at lower rate than the oil trust
charges for gasoline.
Aside from motive power uses,
cheap denaturized alcohol will have a
wide market. 1t has higher thermal
value than wood alcohol, which is
extensively manufactured for COM
mercial uses, and is equal, if not
as a solvent.-E. G. Nichols
