Date Changed for Northeastern Iowa
Short Course.

The officers of the Northeastern
Iowa Short Course in Agriculture
have received notice that a change
in dates is necessary for the Short
Course. The plan was to hold the
school Feb. 18th to 22d but owing
to conflict in dates, the college
Faculty at Ames has changed the
the date placing it one week earlier.
This will make the dates Feb. 10th
to 10Th. All farmers and others
interested should note this change
and lend assistance in spreading the
news. 1t will be very easy for most
people who attend to be present
one week earlier but much of the
advertising will have to be done
over again and much help may be
given if the friends will speak to the
neighbors.
The Delaware County FarmersI n
stitute officials are hanging up an
elegant list Of prizes for corn con-
tests at the regular Institute next
February. Almost hundred prizes
are offered which will no doubt
make a larger number Of entries than
ever before and will produce as fine
a contest as one could wish to see.
In former years the committees have
done excellent work and have set a
high standard which has enabled the
committee this year to secure prizes
from business men all over the coun-
ty.
1t may seem advisable to add to
this list, even extending the contest
to domestic science and small grades.
Announcement along this line will
be made later.
The corn contest will be divided
into groups or classes: General con.
test, school children's contest and
youths contest.
The general contest will be open
to all, but the school children's con.
test will be open only to those who
receive samples Of Reid's yellow
dent, from the county superinten
dent last spring. The corn mus
have been raised from the seed OBJ
tanned and must be submitted by
the pupil himself. The yoush's con
. test will be open to all young people
r (boys and girls) in the county under
3 eighteen years of age.
) Below We give the class and theil
divisions.

ing industries there was a more conf
dent sentiment regarding the future,
numerous inquiries encouraging manu-
factnrers to anticipate steady i'm
provement in orders early in 1905
While several plants resumed Others
were added to the idle list. and the net
change was small.
The best news of the week was the
official report of foreign commerce in
November that far surpassed any pre-
vicus monthly record of exports, and
trade balance .>of $93,G555.551. This
should n3,ke ii possible to retain much

is more hopeful at leading centers of

activity being generally anticipated
after the holidays. No further curta,',

already made proving sufficient to pre-
vent accumulation, and few changes
were announced n quotations. excep

Rather Disgusting.

The sort of rot which is oc.
cupying the editorial columns OF
the Preston County Journal now.
adays may be interesting to the
editor of that publication, but it
is disgusting to everybody else.
Cut it out and run patent med
lcine testimonials instead. They
would prove more interesting,
and probably more profitable, as
well.-Charleston Mail (Rep.).
We beg leave to inform the
Mail that the Journal under its
present management is not able
to produce an editorial that would
be recognized for its logic, philo-
sophy and argument. Quite the
contrary. It's mission here in
Preston is to assail those whom it
has reason to believe is a stumb-
ling block to obstruct the pro-
gress of the statehouse machine.
1t has one thought, a single idea,
and that is to Willy and abuse.
But happily for those whom it
scurrilously attacks, the people of
Preston know the motive which
prompts it to emit its vials of
wrath, and as a result it acts as a
boomerang and in the end the
Journal and the machine will be
the victims Of the peoples con-
domination Indeed, the Journal
is not insensible Of the fact that
the Republicans of Preston have
made up their minds to rid the
county Of both the ring and the
machine This is the cause for
the Journal losing its self respect
and getting down in the gutter
and WalloWlng in the mud with
the swine.
Let not our contemporaries
think that we are not able to cope
with the fallowness Of the ma
chine in Preston Man for man
we can lick 'em TO a standstill
and come out Of the conflict with
all our suspender buttons.

Editor Argus:
want 10 make a suggestion TO the Subscribers
Of TIE ARGUS. Here Il Is: Let every subscriber
to The ARGUS get his ncighbor 10 subscribe for
your paper. IL Is fearless and Is not dominated by
eliques. rings. and machines. / send you three
new subscribera ApNmea
Words cannot convey the APP
probation the editor feels for such
kind words OF cheer and such sub
stantial help. The ARGUS must
necessarily look to the people for
its support. 1t is fighting their
battle and has a just claim upon
their support. If that support is
gwen we promise the people that
the political rings and machines
will know that they have been
unable to lease sufficient talent to
hoodwink the people of Preston
county any longer. We think
we are equally entitled to the
support of the anti-ring and anti
machine Republicans of this
county. We have it from the lips
of many of them that they have
been ruled over by rod of iron
for years. In the coming cam
paign it will be up to them to as
sert their rights as free born
Americans. THE ARGUS believes
it can help them by exposing the
tyranny of the bosses, rings and
machines and it feels that they
can assist it in buying ammunition
to fight the enemy. Let us stand
shoulder to shoulder against our
common enemy. Let the voice
of a free and independent people
be heard once more. United we
rout the ring and machine, horse,
foot, and dragooon. But this
cannot be done without plenty OF
hard work. We are willing to dc
our part. Will you do yours?
