FERTILIZER.

corn ground. This spring reminds
us of that one way back in forty
'leven, when it showed steen inches

This backward spring makes Cupid lean
From haunting parlor places,
When park and field should be thescene

BASE BALL.
There is excellent training of
physical and lung power, self-reli-
ance, confidence, forbearance and
assert1veness in a good game Of
juvenile base ball. 1t is manly
sport-the distinctive national game.
TROUBLESOME WEALTH.
Andrew Carnegie says that
wealth lessons rather than in
creases human happiness. Mil
lionaires who laugh are rare. ;"
Nevertheless, there are any number
of poor people who are willing to
receive the wealth and run chances
on happiness. Let Andy be flat
broke and down on his luck few
years, and then We'll accept his
evidence as expert testimony.
A swEETENER.
If promptings thrill your kindly heart
Distressed mankind to tickle,
Sweet sympathy's refined by art
Of passing DER the nickel.
KEEP CHILDREN AT HOME.
Every day we see our young peo-
pie leaving home, to seek better OPP
portunities among strangers. The
home people have been so accus-
toned to looking upon the young
folks as children that they can not
appreciate changed conditions, and
do not give their own young people
their confidence. Thus, we see the
teachers, tradesmen, professionals,
clerks and others shut out at home
by the chesty stranger, who comes
to town, does business and secures
jobs often without references. Let
us ever give the preference to the
home folks, whom we know from
the ground up. Twill make them
better and happier to remain with
their own people.
ENJOY 1T AS YOU Go.
Many mickles make a muckle,
So the Scotch saw goes:
But they're scatterin'-can buckle

All expenses make boiler

Cut out pleasure-that's the checker,

Full o. mickle kind.

there is any truth in 1t, else I would

is one Of the best investments in the

likelihood Of it's being sold at any near

Federal Judge Says Two-Cen

day denied the application of two
stockholders OF the Iowa Central and
the Minneapolis and st, Louis for an
order restraining the directors Of the
roads from putting into effect the two
cent passenger rate enacted by the
Iowa Legislature. The judge based his
action upon the ground that no in
Jury TO the roads was shown, that tho
complaint that the new rate would
cut down dividends was not proven
that increased passenger travel might
increase receipts, and that no charge
of bad faith is made against the d.
