THE SEASON OF CIRCULA-
TION.

The next few months will be the
busiest of all the year to the
hustling enterprising merchant
IN town or city. Millions OF dol
lars will change hands, and
tradesmen of all grades, from the
street vender 10 the merchant
prince, will come in for share
OF prosperity.
The farmer will have money
to pay debts, to spend in COM
forts and luxuries, and to invest
in new enterprises.
In fact, the time Of free circu-
lation OF the dollar is here, and
no amount of croaking about
hard times will stop it. This is
as it should be, for money should
be made or accumulated to spend,
and not laid up for individual
satisfaction. The main thing to
consider is, who should be chief
circuiators? Not the very poor,
certainly, as too free distribu-
ton OF cash would mean want
and poverty. The honest strug-
gler for moderate independence.
must also carefully count his in
come before it becomes an OUT
come. 1t is the thrifty and pros
porous, together with the inde-
pendently rich, upon whom the
duty falls of keeping up a live
circulation of cash.
The prosperous in a great
measure owe their success to the
liberality of others, and should
generously return favors by un-
stinted patronage of the less for
tunate.
The independently rich have
no use for what they are able to
buy, but on all sides of them can

and would duly appreciate the
circulation of cash in his direc-
ton, no matter who gives il a
start. Set your neighbors a no.
bic example in this line, and you
may confidently expect a better
paper and better opinion of the
outside world, who judge your
town by your paper.

but all the people are interested. The
farmers of the state are as much in
terested in manufacturing in Iowa cit
les as are the people in Cedar Rapids.
Factories make nearby markets for
their products and they make markets
for a lot of stuff that can not be ship
ped long distances.
But the farmers have still wider
interest in such factories. In every
farmers family there are a few chill
dren who are not disposed to take
up farm work, or who may be incap-
able for that sort of work. They drift
to the cities to go into manufacturing
for which they may have taste.
They are the born mechanics and ma
chinists. If we have factories in Iowa
such young men can remain in their
own state and thus contribute to its
upbuilding. Unles we have such fac
tories in Iowa men are compelled to
go to the large cities in other states.
In short. we are all interested in
the development of factories in Iowa.

pitiful and ill-advised self-sacrifice
Setting aside the thoughtlessness which
is the universal excuse of youth, these
three strong, fairly dressed and fairly
intelligent youths We're as worthless
and low as any tramp that lodges the
dandelion- digging center
They are not types of American
youth, thank heaven, but they are of
a sort that is becoming too common in
town and country, the kind that seeks
a soft snap, and is content to live on
the effort of others. They degenerate,
with some exceptions, into tramps and
thieves and that infinite scoundrelism
that lives on the shame of lost women.
That they are growing commoner is
part Of the penalty for the prosperity
that permits parents to bring up their
sons in idleness, and the contempt of
hard and honest labor that comes with
general success in business. Most of
all, it is due to the slack methods of
rearing children that obtain generally
in this country and the desire to slet
the children have q good time because
they will never be young but once"
1t is good thing for a boy to re-
member that he is sure to be old once.
It pays to .go after things while you
are able. The idea that he must not

States. In fact while 1t has furnished

of bankers; made plenty of day hands"

responsibility aids the growth of tall
men. Whoever seeks to escape 1t con-
fesses his unfitness to live in mans
world. What has the future for the
young men who furnish the text?
Either long and doubtful struggle to
regain their manhood and make a
place in the world or the plying con-
tempt of the friends of their youth and
the condemnation of mankind and their

AGRICULTURE IN the SCHOOLS.

An incident that testffieS to the value
Of the recent addition of the study OF
agriculture to the course in the rural
schools came up in Marshalltown
home the other day. One of the
younger daughters Of the family had
passed the holiday vacation with
friends on a farm in Marshall county
and had visited the school, with her
schoolgirl hostess. The difference in
the school work between the high
school and the district school had
struck her forcibly and she had much
to say in praise and criticism. Among
other things that attracted her atten-
ton was the study of farming. 1t
looked to her like good thing. Ask
ed what the lesson was about she re-
piled about soils. don't know
whether the teacher knew anything
about farming or not, but he made 1t
pretty clear" and then she reviewed the
lesson. She knew somewhat of soils
and their nature and fitness. In fact
she had learned in one lesson more
than her father who had worked on
farm" years ago had ever known,
More than that, she liked the study.
It brought her in contact with things
with the great mysteries of growth
and production. The practical in her
aroused and awakened. She longed to
dabble in the mystery and learn more
Of it.
The mere ability to start and stop
machine does not make a mechanic
The lad who has been given some in
sight into the reasons of a machine
as well as the reasons for, is the one
who hangs about the engine room
asking questions and annoying the en-
gineer. The mere fact that lever
moved this way or that stops or puts
the ponderous machine in motion no
longer suffices. He wants to know
why He is just outside the veil that
I SnfOuQS a mystery ana wants TO get III.
This is the lad whose development
gives the world the machines that
treble production and shorten the day
Of toll
So in the country school the teach
ing of agriculture must make better
farmers and broader men and women
Teach it and teach it better each sue
ceeding term. The termination of a
seed is a greater marvel than all the
seeming sentence of all the machines
that inventive genius has produced.

Of mystery and miracle. No science
is so deep, SO mysterious, so alluring
and yet so plain as that Of reproduce
ton. Few men, successful elsewhere,
and in other lines of endeavor, have
not dreamed of an idyllic existence in
country place among growing things
The soil is the attraction. When we
