THE YELLOW PERIL AGAIN.

The yellow peril" Is placed before
the public In a new light by Herbert
Joseph Davenport. assistant profess
sor of political economy at the Uni
versity Of Chicago Like some of his
brother professors at the Midway in
stitution. Mr.. Davenport has the fac.
ulty of saying unusual things, as the
following discourse gives evidence:
Bye and by the worlds supply of
food will be SO lessened by tncreas.
Of population that the survivor of
these conditions will be the man who
can exist on the least This is pre-
eminently the Chinaman. In the fu.
ture it is fair to presume that the
country's population will be So large
that we shall fear to raise families
in fact, we don't dare to raise them
because there will be an insufficient
food supply for their sustenance.''
Some day Mr.. Roosevelt will pause
in his trust busting campaign long
enough to read the Chicago professor
statement that we won't dare to raise
families, when the awful things he
predicts comes true, and then the as
sistant professor of political economy
may receive hard Jolt in the ribs
from the arch enemy of race suicide.

JOKE ON THE COUNTRY EDITORS

Des Mofnes ,News.-This is a good
enc on the editors of the country
papers Of Iowa.
Some OF them got hot in the collar
because they were paid nothing for
mentioning the state fair.
In the columns of taeir papers they
Immediately began discussion of the
merits Of the case. Some of them
waxed very warm. They used the
best space in their papers to emhati-
cally declare that they would not ad.
vertise the fair, They copied what
their brother editors had to say on the
subject. They finally attracted public
attention. The interest of the public
can be drawn into any newspaper
squabble. In some towns Of the state,
1t is said the question was taken up
in the corner grocery store discussions
Everybody took Sides And people
who had never heard of the state fair
wondered what kind OF an institution
1t was that could kick up such a fuss
among the editors.
The state fair is here, and the at.
tendance promises to break all pre-.
vious records.
One way to advertise is to knock.

A RACE OF READERS.

A few years ago the average either,
was content with his daily paper and
an occasional magazine, but nowadays
the average reading menu includes
Sunday paper. with the funny
page for the children, which the head
OF the family reads before he opens
the rest of the paper, and from one
to dozen weekly and monthly maya.
zines. 1t is no wonder we are be.
coming bespectacled race. AS an
indication Of the growth of magazine
reading, Frank A. Munsey, who origin.
ated the popular price monthly and
made 1t pay, gives this estimate Of
the magazine sales:
Little more than a dozen years
ago, when I went into the magazine
business, there were not more than
100000 regular magazine buyers In
the United States and Canada That
does not mean there were not more
than 100000 magazines issued, for
many buyers took several magazines
Today there are easily 100000 mag
azines buyers in the two countries
Each of these individual buyers
takes many more magazines than did
the buyers of the other period"
And it is safe to say that the next
ten years will see just as many i'm
proyements in the magazines and Just
as large an increase in sales as the
past decade. One reason for this is
that the laboring man Is becoming
more and more reader. Shorter hours
and better pay have given him more
leisure hours and the means to enjoy
them. and he has Joined the ranks OF
the readers.

He MUST RAISE STEERS.

Denfson Review H. Evers one
OF the successful farmers OF this Vi,
entity made us friendly calf The
other day. Mr.. Evers is a thoughtf,,l
man as his success gives ample nroof
One Of the things he said to ms tnat
ne must raise steers" He admitted
that he did not make much money
from feeding steers but he said that
when winter came Il he had no steers
Ia the yard, he felt lonesome that iife
seemed to have lost some OF ia inter.
est and it's enjoyment He liked to zee
them grow, liked to see them davnIon
into the sleek-corn-fed cattle for which
Iowa is noted, liked to send them tn
Chicago and get the TOP price M
Eyers has worked hard enough and
long enough so that he cannot he said
to need the money should he be fort,n.
ate to make any, but he must raise
steers"
1t is the man who must "ra,se
steers" who the productive idea M
strongly developed that Il becnmes a
ts Is today.
1t Is the reason why SO many peo.
pie continue in business long after the
necessity Tor mere money making is
past. Sometimes we critic and ex-
press our scon for plodders who do
not know when they have enough. but
after all the thought Of doing some.
thing, OF accomplishing something, is
the main stay Of civilization.
When man In the prime Of life
gets so that he has no desire to raise
steers" he is candidate for the Osler
tneory, much more acceptable can
didate than the man who is ready to
retire only when age has brought the
fulfllment of industry.
All of us are. or should be. raising
our particular brand of steers. All Of
us should take an interest In seeing
that our work prosper, that it tops
the market, that we add something
each year to the worlds wealth II not
to our own. That is what constitutes
the Joy of life. 1t keeps men young
preserves their intellect and their
strength. 1t is the best Christian
science In the world.

GRAY HEADS AND YOUNG HEARTS

GRAY HEADS AND YOUNG HEARTS
The other day there was a gather
Ing OF old settlers at Highland Cen
ter, to celebrate the one1hundredth
birthday of the Oldest man among
their numbers. 1t brought together
men who as boys sixty four years age
settled in the then virgin land 81
Wapello county when It was first
thrown open to settlement; it brought
together others who followed in the
wake Of the first pioneers, coming in
the flfties, and yet others who came
to Wapello county just at the close
Of the war.
And as the pioneers got together
and talked over the early times IL
was easy to see just why these men
In the seventies and eighties are hale
and hearty, while many of the young
er generation are older men at fifty
1T IS THEIR iOPTIMIS4-.
Gods sunshine, seen through clear
eyes, rejecting clean hearts, and
Gods air breathed by lungs strong
with the health that right living
|brings-this is the fountain of perpet
ua- youth whose draughts they have
quaffed.
A small group Of these optimists
was discussing things in general
when Robert Mccormick said:
There is no part of the country
that settled up faster than Iowa
There is no country on earth that
shows a faster settlement. We are
comparatively a new state. yet we
lead them all with our corn crop and
live in the banner agricultural state
Of the Union"
Then Caytai' w. H. Kitterman ad
ded his testimony:
"The best piece of land on this
green earth" he said. sis the strip
bounded by the Mississippi and Mis-
souri,, the Des Moines and the Skunl,
rivers"
A glance at the map will show how
favorably Wapello county is situated
as a center Of the district outlined
Then Major A. H. Hamilton, for years
the editor Of the Courier. who in his
eighty-first year is hale and hearty
the conversation.
81 believe they are increasing these
people who live to be 100 years DID,
he said. "Clean living is increasing
longevity"
Let lis hope that Major Hamilton If
right In his own case and in the
case of the scores of pioneers with
whom he mingled on the happy occa
sion being celebrated he was undoubt
