in the Farrell's section of this county

For a place of residence no town
can offer more superior advantages
than does Bamberg. Families hav-
ing children to educate, who are de-
sirous of locating in a place where
good society, excellent schools and
general public improvements and
conveniences exist should investigate
our town. No where can they do
better.
The State convention of the Ep-
worth League is to be held in the
Methodist church in this city, April
18th and 18th. Plans for the enter
tainment of the body will soon be
taken up by the local league. Our citi-
zens should endeavor to make the
convention a success, so that the
visitors will go away we'll pleased

We understand that our city au-
thorities have been and still are es-
pecially vigilant in regard to the
illegal selling of whiskey in Bam:
berg, and that there are. no blind
tigers here. We are glad to know
this. Some whiskey is being shipped
in from Augusta and other places,
but the police watch these shipments
closely. and investigate every sus-
picious case.

Mr.. WILEY ON LONGEVITY.

Chief Chemist Wiley of the agricul-
tural department. holds it to be rank
disgrace for any man to die of any
thing but old age. He holds that the
present generation is going to live
long, because it knows more about
laws OF Diet hygiene and surgery than
was known before. And Mr.. Wiley
does not believe that the countrys
youth can go to school too long if
proper attention is given at school to
study of>the laws that make for long
evity. Addressing the graduating
class of scientific school, he said:
In view of longevity, if nothing
nroe. a man should not think that ne
is taking too much time in preparation
for his life work if he spend score
or more years in schooling.
But slpposing man should go to
school for twenty years or more and
then he permitted to spend only one
year of work out in the world, no one
would have right to say that man

THE cARTooNIsTs LIBEL.

Marshalltown Times Republic
cartoon published in a Chicago paper
and widely copied shows the dollar
wheat balloon lifting the mortgage
from the farmers home. The farmer
and his family are doing hoedown
in the front yard and in the back
grounds the fields stretch to the line
fences. 1t is what most of us would
term good cartoon.
But there is no reason why even a
cartoonist should not pay some small
attention to things as they are He
has put rail fences around this west
ern wheat field, and put sawbuck
and pile Of cordwood in the back
yard, something manifestly and utter
ly absurd to the man who raises
wheat in the west and northwest. 1T
would require long search to locate
sawbuck In the wheat country or
rail fence on the prairie anywhere.
The day of the rail fence is rast, even
in the timber lands. It never had a
day on the prairies.
Something further: the cartoonist
has followed the fashion Of cartoon
lists and made the farmer and his
family ridiculous. 1t should be un.
derstood, even by cartoonists, that
the clothing Of the farmer and the
farmers boy does not usually consist
OF rags and patches, even where tho
place has been mortgaged." Neither
is the average farmer defaced by billy
goat whiskers, nor does his hair al
ways stand straight up. Retreating
foreheads, immense and pointed noses
and mouths gashed from ear to ear
are not more common on the farm
than in the city The farmers little
girl does not wear the long pantal-
lettes of two generations ago. The
cartoonist's conception of the farmer
is like the stage rishman, a thing to
be abolished by kind counsel or big
stick
Only recently a, special writer for
some magazine or other came into
Iowa seeking information on subjects
peculiar to the farm. He drove ahout

PROFESSOR TRlees' TROUBLE.

Chicago Inter Ocean.-Tne wife OF

vociferous proclaimer of imperfec.

ers, has brought suit for divorce upon
the grounds Of repeated and numerous
"indiscretions," on the part of her hus.

With no desire to pry unduly into
the private life of any man, and with
no claim of right to pronounce judg.
ment as to the guilt or innocence OF
Mr.. Triggs in the matter Of the Of.
lenses charged against him, it is nee
essary to call public attention to his
case because of the justification it
gives to certain popular ond instinc-
tive feeling about such persons.
When man poses before the pub
lie as universal teacher-when he
assumes to be one of the few clean
men, and often the only one, in world
full of dirty people-when he takes the
position that nearly everything that is
wrong and nearly everybody who has
won any sort Of success has done Sc
by scoundrelly methods-the feeling is
general and instructive that there must
be something unclean in his own life
and that feeling is commonly justified
by the event.

1t may become necessary to start a
fresh air and farm fund for the benefit

sixties. A few days in the country
will suffice to change their point of
view. They will find noticeable

1t is unfortunate that Lincoln Wrenn
of Shelby, Ohio, should have attempted
to forge a check just at the trying
time when he was waiting, after he
had his teeth extracted, for his gums
to heal UP That he might try set of
false molars. 1t was more unfortunate
that he should have been arrested and
sent to the reformatory with his jaws
in this delicate condition. But really
it seems that Lincoln is asking too
much when he sues the county for $5,-
600 because of Indigestion brought on
through his inability to properly mas
ticate mis- food without teeth. The
county was not to blame because Lin
coins digestive organs could not with
stand the onslaught of soup and sink
ers. Perhaps he might sue the dentist
for pulling the teeth before there was
more assurance that the forgery could
go undetected.
