Des Moines, May 23-In four-fifths

for field work nearly all the week.
Reports indicate that from So to 95
per cent of the corn area was planted

been favorable for termination of SEED
and in some localities cultivation is
in progress. Grass. small grain and
the minor crops are all doing fairly
well. Damage to fruit by frost was
not generally as heavy as earlier re-

Paradoxical Philosophy.

In an eloquent, extemporaneous-
out-burst epilogic to the main feature
of the evenings entertainment, the
minister said that the laziness was q
frightful Goliath in the pathway Of a
great many people. We all lodged,
then slyly peered about to see if we
could discover any one that was hurt,
whereupon the minister, anticipating
stampede, fastened to distribute
the blow by saying that the dislike to
work is universal. We were disap-
pointed in his remarks because he
failed to note the element of good in
this universal aversion to physical ex
ertion. If man liked to work, If ply
sical effort was pleasure, from
whence would come the Incentive to
invention? The bleeding fingers and
aching back of him who used to sweat
in the torrid field behind the old self
rake set some human intellect to
rolling it's ideas about with the result
that in few years the self binder was
wheeled out into the harvest fields:
and, behold! q great burden was lifted
from the shoulders of man. 1t is our
dislike for work that incites our in
tellect to grapple with our physical
tormentor, the curse that the folly of
Adam and Eve precipitated. 1t is our
dislike for work that keeps Genius
busy by his midnight lamp creating
things that shift painful toll from
sensitive human mus O es to the sense
less wheels and levers of dead machir.
cry. 1t is extremely paradoxical, but
nevertheless true, to say that this
aversion to physical exertion beyond
recreative activity is necessary to
advancement. Without it the human
race would become "ditched" and
Progress would throw up her hands
and die in despair. 1t is only when
we give way to it to such an extent as
causes US to neglect our duty that it
becomes an evil. Then it is termed
'.laziness" and is All abomination unto
God.

QUICK RESULTS

FRANCES-M OHAWK NOW PAY
ING DIVIDENDS
Rem a rkabIe Achievement Shown by
Operation of Well Known Los
Angeles company-Famous
GoIdfield Property

Things move swiftly in the hustling'
bustIing west. This had been repeat
edly demonst rated in Los Angeles real
estate operations, but for big and quick
results on capital invested. both IN ap-
preciation of the value of the invest
ment and in actual interest, or d1vl-
dend returns, the "F'rances- M ohaWk
mining property at Goldfield probably
brea ks the record of legitimate enter
prises in the United States.
About the middle of July Of this year
the r. D. Robinson CO. of Los Angeles
promoted the Frances Mohawk MIN
ing company" to exploit under lease
part of the famous Mohawk property
at Goldfeld. On July 10 the Robinson
com pany sold Franc Mohawk STOCK
at 20 cents per share, par value $lO0;
the next da,-, July 20, the ompany OF
fered to buy the same stock at an du
vance Of rs per cent on the price at
which it had been sold the day previ-
ous. Rather speedy apprecia tion this
seemed, but entirely justified by the IN
formation the Robinson company had
received concerning the Intrinsic value
of the Franc es- Mohawk holdings
Judgment Sustained
Events have abundantly sustained
the Robinson company's Judgment, for
the stock has steadily advanced on tne
Goldfeld exchange, and this week that
com pany off cred 10 cents per snare for
10000 share- or any part Thereon, CIV
ing their investors a cash prOht OF Zoo
per cent in nine weeks. Now comes the
intelligence that the directors of the
Frances M ohawk" company have de-
ella red dividend of cents per share
payable October 6, a rate of disburse-
ment equivalent to 25 per cent on the
price-20 cents per share-at which the
stock was originally sold two months
ago. This record is probably not ri
vailed in all of the world. Less than
three months ago the Frances Mohawk
lease was a mere prospect, now 1t is a
dividend paying mine. The remarka-
BILE richness of the property may be in :
ferred by the stateme of the manage

Goldfeld with its fabulous riches be-
ing uncovered in such properties as the
great Mohawk by the leasing compa
mics has proved an awakener, one that
has aroused even the ultra -conserVa
