THE POPCORN BELT.
One County in Iowa Produces Hail
the Country's Supply.

Nearly half of the popcorn con-
sumed in the United States Is raised
in the small county OF Sac. III the
northwestern portion OF Iowa. There
it has been found that the soil IS pa
ticularly adapted to its cultivation.
Before the shows and the street
corner merchants took it up. the hOt
buttered popcorn wasn't very much III

ed to a few stalks on the. farm tH2t

The breakfast food manufacturers
are now the largest consumers CT pop

brand is practically all popcorn.
The popcorn belt is invaded each

The discovery Of the Iowa popccra
belt came about by accident. About
25 years ago an eccentric Yankee, VINO
had located in Sac county. near Ode-
bolt, decided to break away from the
old traditions, and instead OF dlversl-
flying his crops to plant them TO one
thing only. He tried wheat one year
and failed to make any money. For
two years thereafter he planted ali Oh
his 200 acres to potatoes, and every
body laughed When few years IA
ter he planted it all to popcorn a big
shout of merriment went up, but when
in the fall the Yankee marketed MS
entire crop at big profit nobody even
smiled. The next year nefgnDor 1o!-
lowed his example Cotton. the flrst
popcorn man, bought his crop IN the
ground and that year had more pop
corn than any 10 men in the United
States. He had the market cornered'
and he got the price he named. Inen
he tried to beat the Chicago board or
trade and dropped out Of sight. lis
neighbors gradually took up the idea,
and today they get rich returns 1or

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

Sermons might be more interesting
if YOU could talk back.
Farming is pretty good fun unless
YOU make your living at it.
The reason girl smiles is because
you will think she means it.
When man isn't ashamed to
speak of his work as a job it's a good
one
A man is apt to get awful lonesome
if he resolves to keep only good conf
pany.
One of the reasons for mans be-
Ing proud of his brains is that nobody
else is.
A good way to make the furnace
burn we'll is to have warm spell OF
weather.
People are awful rich when they
aren't afraid to go to a wedding in
street car.
There is nobody you. can hate as
much as the fellow who is smarter
than YOU are.
The best way for a woman to pre-
serve her ideals about man is not
to marry him.
The small pay in government Offices
seems to go good deal further than
any other kind.
1t makes a girl mad to call her a
young thing at Is as it does not to
when she is 2S.
1t would take a lot of money to
make woman think she had enough
for anything but clothes.
Money is a very useful thing not
to have in your pocket when anybody
tries TO borrow from you.
A woman has to be born a good
many years before man to admit she
is as old as he when they are grown
up.
After a girl has been engaged twice
she doesn't consider it necessary to
tie up her love letters in baby blue
ribbon.
A nice thing about living in a
boarding house is you don't have to
make believe you like what you get
to eat in the way you do at home.
There are mighty few people in the
world who think they are having a
good time unless it has to do with
something useless and frivolous.-

Japanese Admiral Insults.

Toxic, July l. The Hochi this
morning prints an interview with
Admiral Sakamato in which the ad-
miral Is quoted as follows:
"Should hostilties break out be-
tween Japan and America, the re-
suit would ibe indecisiye owing to
the want of proper bases of opera
lions. Such bases as exist are too dis
tant for practical purposes. Even
the nearest bases, namely Pescadores,
Cavite and Manila are 600 miles
from one another Even If the Wash
ington government should decide on
war it is doubtful whether Amerl-
cans serving in the navy are sufici-
emily patriotic to fight.
American naval officers are brill
liant figures at balls and social gath
erings. but they are deficient in pro-
fessional training and practice. 1t is
too much TO expect burning patriot
ism in the American naval service
in case of war with Japan. II Is
likely that most OF the crews would
desert or leave the ships"

Toxic, July s. The confirmation
of the report that a powerful battle
ship squadron would be sent TO the
Pacific coast has been generally re-

is some surprise in certain quarters,
which is wei versed in diplomatic

II is said that the sudden change
of the program in the case OF the

its voyage should include San Fran

was evidently in Difference to the
wishes of the Washington govern
Inent and were made known to the
Toxic authorities in an indirect but
'unmistakable manner. The change
of the route was decided upon only
a couple OF days before the squadron
sailed.
II was thought then that Japan
acted wisely in avoiding a course
which might have proved injurious
when the strong anti-Japanese senti-
ment was prevailing in San Fran
cisco. Though officially stated that
the despatch of the battleships 70

lis Blues defeated John Hollans In
dependents at Wallace park Sunday
afternoon in the presence of several
hundred fans, many Metropolis peo-
pie being in evidence. The game was
loosely played at times, but some
good feature work was seen on both
sides.
At 3 o'clock the game started. Dye
land Doyle worked at the points for
the visitors. and Hart and Block for
the Independents. Hart showed good
form at the start and allowed but
few hits. The Blues were unable to
find him until in the fifth inning.
when a bobble or two followed quick
ly by a hit tailed runs. Up until
this time the locals had made but one
score. which was all they got, the
Blues settling down and playing
hard fast game.
In. the seventh inning Dye was
coming in from third base when Block
received the ball from the infield.
Block tagged the runner in the
stomach so hard that Dye rolled on
the ground unable to draw a breath.
He recovered and went to first base,
Gregory finishing the game in the
box.
One feature of the game not furn-
ished by the teams amused fans in
the grand stand. A young woman

better of her in an argument with a
