AluscHEon FOR IMMIGRANTS.

1 EQlCOrldl lament dL Cuo ENORMOUS III
| flux OF aliens to the rate of a million a
year Is very common turnout two
thirds Of the country today, but in the
sunny southland public sentiment is
entirely reversed on this subject. In
stead Of demand for more drastic ex-
clusion laws, the citizens of Charleston
turn out en- masse to meet boat load
I of 420 Belgian immigrants, Charles
toms homes are thrown open for their
welcome, the young women serve lun-
eheon, federal, state and city officials
greet them, and the railroads run spe-
cial trains to carry them to their new
homes. From other southern towns
heads Of families had come with offers
of good jobs at high wages to every
Belgian girl who would enter domestic
service. The south wants immigra-
ton. She would establish imnfgra-
ton bureaus in leading European coun-
tries IL our alien labor laws did not for
bid.
The contrast IL startling and pro-
phetic. For instance, the state Of
South Carolina alone could absorb as
many immigrants as the present en-
tire population Of Iowa before she
would have as many people to the
square mile as are living in Ohio to-
day II all the immigrants coming to
America should settle in South Caro-
lima alone, she could accommodate
them for the next twelve years be-
for her density OF population would
equal that Of Massachusetts today, and
South Cardinals hills and fertile fields,
acre for acre, would support twice as
much population as can the stony hills
of New England.
Tennessee could do fully as much as
South Carolina. Then there is Vir-
GINA. North Carolina and Mississippi,
of about the same capacity. These five
states could absorb all our foreign i'm
migration at the present rate of mil
lion year for the next sixty years
before they would be as thickly popu-
lated as Massachusetts, is today. Up
to the same density Louisiana, Georgia,
Arkansas and Alabama could take care
of our present immigration for eighty
five years after the above group Of
southern states had been filled up, then
Missouri and Kentucky could step in
for forty years beyond that. Eleven
southern states can thus take all of our
present immigration for the next 1S5
years before they will contain as many
people per mile as Massachusetts, elm
mating from our calculations the ele-
ment of natural increase.
This is providing accommodations
for all the people now living in Bel

The Tale Of the Years.

Sorrow and mirth and smile.

Flowers to lay Ger the dead:
Tears and some signs and some mirth,
Earth for bed.

The LusteP of Opals.

Many gems often without any appar-
ent cause suddenly become cracked or
scanned, the damage being beyond re-
pair. Opals, known us the unluckiest
stones, are so sensitive that their beau
ty is frequently destroyed by their
wearer's proximity to an open fire. The
luster Of this stone is caused by the
presence Of myriads Of little assures,
which defect the light into the charac-
teristic prismatic color Of the gem. The
tiniest of these assures Is likely at any
moment to destroy the stone.

SECRETARY WILSON'S SHOWING.

The secretary Of agriculture deals In
large figures. Farming is big busi-
ness Think of this: For 1906 the
farm values are $6,794.000, 900, or $780,
900, 600 more than in 1905, and two bill
lions more than in 1899. Corn led, with
Il value OF $11o0,0O0,oo followed by
cotton. Is64o, 100000; hay, $6oo,0oo,o0o
q wheat. $3.50. 100000 oats, s3O0,000.o00;
potatoes. s150,Oo0,0o0; barley, $65,0o0.-
0i0:s tobacco, s55.o00,Oo0; sugar cane
products $75,000,0o0. and othel. "un-
ellun1erated" products estimated alto
gather at u billions The value per
4 b;ishea Of cereals was less in 1905, it
i seems than in some preceding years,
But the number Of bushels was larger.
Corn, for example tho a smaller crop
this year than in 1905, was produced
It'd the extent Of 2,SS1.000,0Oo bushels.
Most Of the increase of the aggregate
OF farm values IS due to horses and
meat animals, which brought higher
prices In 1906. Milf also went higher.

LOOKER-ON In IOWA !;

Hampton, Dec. 15-Here's a town
where the postoffice is run for the con-
verience of the people, mot the post
master. This is not saying but what
there are many other towns where the
people are just as well served, but it
is saying that many postoffices in Iowa
towns are closed promptly at Z, 1880 or
s o'clock in the evening; towns where
mail trains arrive shortly before or at
those hours, where, if part of the post
office force were on duty and waited on
the public, it would be a great public
convenience and as we'll appreciated
as the Hampton postoffice is by all
of the patrons. Mr.. Purcell, the post
master, could probably by the depart
ment regulations, close as early as Z
p. M, but mail trains arrive at z: 49,.
and he distributes the mail from off
that train every night. Even If that
train is fifteen to thirty minutes late,
he still keeps open and distributes that
mail. The writer is frequently thrown
i'm contact with the patrons of the Of
flee and all this is to let him and 9TH
ers know such accommodation is APP
preciated.
Out of THE car window, for the first
time in many years, one sees corn
piled on the ground. The crib is full
to overflowing, some of the crop is to
be fed or sold before winter sets in, SO
to avoid the expense of extra corn crib
building, it is piled up at convenient
spot.

An indication of another big crop is
to see apples in car lots arriving in
these towns in bulk. OF course the OBJ
ject is to save the cost of the bar
rel, and incidentally to be able to urt-
dersell the barreled apples. all OF

that it has not the dignity Of a legal
| lied primary, 1t is clean and works
| well. Nominations for republican cam
didates for county offices are made by
direct vote. The fellow who gets the
most votes is declared the nominee no
matter how many are running or how
goes to him, and the system works
we'll In the main the contest narrows
itself to choice between two or three
leading candidates. Marshall county
republicans would not return to con-
vention nominations.
However, this primary also contains
the delegate convention indirection for
the recording Of Marshall county's
choice as to nominations for all state
and district offices. Delegates to the
county convention are voted upon at
the primary in each precinct, the
county convention in turn naming DEL
egares to state and district conventions
In form all the voters vote upon the
makeup Of their county convention at
the primary. In fact. they have moth
ing whatever to do with 1T at the pri-
mary. Caucuses are previously held in
each voting precinct prior to the pri-
mary, at which caucuses a ticket OF
delegates to the county convention IS
named to be voted upon at the primary.
The fellow who packs the caucus with
his friends names the ticket. The eau
Gus having been regularly called by the
precinct committeeman the caucus
nominees are regular and go upon the
primary ballot without opposition. The
fellow who would hold subsequent
caucus and name an opposition ticket
would be declared irregular and would
actually have serious trouble getting
his ticket of delegates onto the primary
ballot.
The result Of this is that the pri-
mary election of delegates is merely
perflnctory. They are actually named
at the caucus and this is what is In
tended by the men who propose dele
gate convention primary for a state
wide law. In Marshall county the one
set az delegates com posing the county
convention pass upon judicial. con-
gressional and all state nominations. II
the judicial contest absorbs local in
terest, the caucuses are determined on
this issue alone No opportunity Is
given for popular expression as to con-
gressional or state nominations.
It was because Of this situation that
the language Of the last republican
platform was SO explicit as to a state
wide primary. It called for wise and
judicious" law, which shall provide for
the nomination "by direct vote" Of "all
candidates for Office to be filled at the
general election" In other words, in
stead of the empty form OF a delegate
primary, each voter would cast his own
ballot as to who he wanted his party
candidate to be for congress, for gov
ernor, for Judge and for every state
officer just as he now does in Mar
shall county in making nominations for
county offices. The county and state
central committees could formulate the
the voters would nominate
the men. So the man who believes in
a real primary should watch out lest
he get gold brick reform.

Why Hair Turns Gray.

The color of the hair depends on lit
tie granules, which can be seen if the
hair be examined under a powerful mi
croscope. Sometimes the hair MAY be-
come white in q night. BrOwn-Se-
guard tells US that when he was forty
five years old his beard turned white
in two days. This took place when he
was perfectly we'll and without any es-
pecial cause. Sometimes, however, sor-
row or illness produces the change ear
lier in life than it would usually take
place. AS to the cause, some have said
that the hair becomes filled with small
air-particles which make it look gray
others have said that the outer part Of
the hair becomes altered so that it is
like ground glass and you cannot see
the color. But man by the name of
MetchnikOff tells us that the real rea-
son is because small movable bodies
in the hair devour the grains of color
ing matter and move them to the root
Of the hair. Sometimes poisons in dis
ease, or some results of sorrow, bring
about an effect upon these small mi
grating bodies (cells), causing them
to become active in the above fashion.
That is said to be the reason why the
hair grows gray.-St. Nicholas.
