A Magazine Trust.

"Is there magazine trust?" asks
the editor of the Woman's Home
Companion, in the October number.
'This is question frequently asked
in these days of trust making and
trust breaking; and there are be-
yond doubt several good grounds on,
which to base the inquiry.
"For instance, it is useless to de-
ny that the present and past system
of magazine publishing has serious
economic faults 1.-THE twenty lead
ing magazines were published by
one parent company, with one set Of
officers, one subscription manager,
and one advertising manager, if all
the printing were done in one great
print shop-and, most important of
all, if all the thinking were done in
one editorial think shop-there
would be obvious savings and ad-
vantages. Not only would the op.
Grating expenses be reduced, and
the profits increased, or in some
cases created, but it is probable
that substantial saving might be
made in subscription price to the
public. At first blush, then, the
magazine trust seems both possible
and wise.
In reality, such a scheme, con
Quoted on the most purely commu.
nistic principles, would be impossi.
ble-and for reasons that are com.
paratively simple. In the first place
the mechanical side of the magazine
publishing, the side where the CHIEF
savings would be made. is a much
less important factor than in almost
any commercial enterprise of the
trust type. The two really import
ant jobs Of a magazine publisher art
the editing and the selling of thu
publication; and in each of these
works he is acting as one man deal
ing with other men, or women, a.
the case may be. He succeeds o,
fails according to the charm anc
power of his own personality, coup
led with his ability to express tina
personality in the magazine itsel
and in his dealings with his readers
The more free expression he give
to this personality, the greater thu
hold upon his constituency.
Personality is God.given, no
trust-made; and without personalit.
magazines would be vacant moth
ings." 2 wks

Educate Boys for the Farm.

The farmer who is in position to
send his boys to college to study for
any Of the learned professions, med
icine, law, or what not, usually con-
siders that the boys who stay at
home to run the farm can find all
the necessary education they need
in the common school. 1t is now an
accepted view that in all depart
ments of human effort the educated
man has a decided advantage. There
is no other occupation in which more

East is East and West is West.
These are Kipling's words:

These are Kipling's words:
""Oh, East is East and West is
West, and never the twain shall
meet"
1t was the question of Oriental
immigration that made us think Of
them.
This antagonism against the Jap.
anese is racial. 1t broke out in the
west. 1t blazen up in Canada.
Australia, under the British rule,
already refuses the Japanese citizen
ship.
Why?
Because they know what it means.
A vast part Of the world does not
know. There is a Jap here and a
Jap there. They have their pur-
suits. They live their own lives.
They come into no appreciable con-
tact with the citizens around them.
The Chinese are even less conspicu-
Gus. People do not know they are
there. They do not know what it
would mean to be obliged to recog-
nize them.
The west does know.
Suppose hordes of Orientals should
pour into New England. Suppose
they should say: "We are here!
We have come to be citizens, thous-
ands and tens of thousands Of US!
We have come. with our customs,
our manners, our point of view,
our standard OF life!.> We expect to
gain. We do not expect to contrib
ute, because we do not think as
you think. Give us room!"
If they came like this-and this
is the way they are coming
il. the west-there would be another
Boston tea party, and it would ring
the bullseye of history louder than
it was rung in 1873.
1t is the inherited feeling of race
1t is as everlasting and as resistless
as the tides. 1t can no more be
talked down or argued down than
men can talk or argue or legislate

preservation.
Labor contributes to it. Religion
contributes to it. The economics o.
citizenship contributes to it.
But back of it all is-race. Be
cause it is impossible that the
AngIo-Saxon and the Oriental should
unite.
That is why we should stand fol
Oriental exclusion.
1t is not necessarily any reflection
upon the Oriental. If he builds VI
a great world-power of his own, j
he transforms his mud hut inte
marble palaces, his standards of Inf,
into lofty ideals, his centuries o
darkness into surprising light, wei
and good.
1t will be magnificent. We vii
glory in his achievement.
But let him do it in Asia, not i,
America.

Jewelry Sharper Works Smooth Game

A West Waterloo attorney has had
his attention called to new, scheme
which, like all others of its1ilk, is
designed to catch the unwary. The
scheme in question is in charge of
a man formerly located in Minneso-
ia, but now working in an Iowa
city. The man advertises to, teach
engraving and watch repairing and
promises to set his students up in
business, for the payment ola con-
sideration. sl
The way he manages is by having
his students take out 81 900 worth
of goods after they have been. in
structed in his school for a short
period. In fact, he agrees to remit
the tuition entirely if the graduate
will sign for the $1,000 worth of
goods. The goods are secured from
a catalogue jewelry firm and cost
the purchaser about 5000, whereas
the student graduate is to pay ST.
900. In this way, the manager of
the school" clears about $500 and
the pupil goes away to become wis
er. The man who appealed to the
Waterloo attorney is stranger here.
His wife owns a farm in Mobiles
county, MINI. and it was because
she refused to sign the note Of agree
ment between her husband and the
'school" man, that the latter is min
us pupil. ID
The man is farmer who has al.
ways lived on the Minnesota farm
except during the time he served i'll
the Spanish-American war. He has
grown tired Of farm life and. as he
and his wife could live comfortably
by renting the farm with the add.
ton of his pension as a soldier. he
thought he would find some easy
thing to work at and HE him to.an.
other locality. Reading in the Min.
neapolis papers of man who taught
engraving, watch making and kin
dred lines with the promise of set
ting his pupils up in business, the
farmer and wife betook themselves
to Minneapolis and interviewed the
head of the establishment.
| Of course, he was agreeable il
manner and much interested in thu
plans of his would-be pupil. Aftel
some little conversation regarding
tuition, he offered to remit the tut
ton if the pupil would agree to taxi
! $1,000 worth of jewelry at the ent
, of the course.

set in about a week previous to his
death.
Deceased was born at Wheeling,
West Virginia, May Is. 1884. In
1856 when Iowa was yet in its prim-
tive days, he came west with his
parents, settling on farm about
ten miles north of Dyersville. Com
ing to Dyersville in 1861, in COM
pany with his brothers Joseph Ii.
and John, the firm known as A.
Limback & Go, was organized. Gen.
eral merchandising and shipping of
live stock, and farm products was
the business of the firm.
Although the country was still
thinly settled and handicapped in
railway facilities, the business flour
ished commanding trade from an
immense territory of thirty miles
distant, and the firm of A. Limback
d Co. became one of the widest
known in Eastern Iowa. John Linn

died twenty-eight years ago after
which the business was continued
by the two remaining members I'M

we'd, the deceased then retiring from
active business life. He was mar.

to them two of whom died some
years ago.
Along with his success in bust
ness Mr.. Limback became yerv pop.
ular among the citizens of the town
as we'll as throughout the eastern
part OF the state. In 1873 when
Dyersville was incorporated he was
elected one of the first councilmen
in which capacity he remained for
number Of years. In 1876 he. was
again honored by his fellow citizens,
by being elected treasurer of the
city. He was q charter member of
the st. Francis Branch of R. G. M.
2. s. which was organized in 1881,
and was the first president of the So
ciety. In 1883 he was elected as
Representative for Dubuque County
to the Twenty-Second General AS
sembly of Iowa, and attended the
full session of the legislature in 1889.
In lis public life Mr.. Limback be-
came widely known throughout the
state, having the welfare and pro-
gress OF the Hawkeye state at heart.
In the death Of Mr.. Limback Dy-
ersvillo loses one of its pioneers who
were most widely identified with the
building up of the city, and with
the early history of the incorpora-
ton. Public spirited and benovo-
lent he gave freely to help worthy
public project, to assist good or to
aid a neighbor. His life was truly
a useful one, as well as interesting
and during his bushes career he
attained high standard of popular
ity.

orable to the proposition but he had
no money He had to appeal to his
wife. She was somewhat dubious
at first, but told him to go ahead
and said she would sign the note.
Meanwhile, the man and his
school moved from Minnesota and
located in an Iowa city. The farm
er followed him but his wife refused
to go and becoming suspicious, de-
cided that she would have nothing
more to do with the matter. When
the manager of the establishment
found the farmers financial support
had been withdrawn, he kindly but
gently gave him to understand that
he had no place for him at his
school" The man stopped in
Waterloo on his way back to his
home ind told his tale of woe to the
Waterloo attorney, who told it to a
reporter and who in turn imparts it
to the public ear.

ing than on the farm N.Y.
Scientific farming today finder
the methods developed at tie ex-
pertinent stations and by practical
men everywhere is no more Kin to
the old haphazard kind than the
wheelbarrow resembles the modern
locomotive. The farmer who works
without knowledge of the laws of
plant and animal growth and of
soil fertility is like the sailor navi-
eating the seas without compass or
rudder. He merely sails before the
breeze, but when the storms come
and shoals appear the vessel, is

The educated farmer sees and ten.

studious and disciplined man finds
pleasure in his work, and with a
reading habit he takes advantage Of
valuable publications issued fsIs. his

ment of agriculture, by his Htatsa ok

the pen of practical writers IN IN other
walks of life. He finds ways to re-
lieve his work of drudgery and to
make his home so attractive that his
boys will have no desire to seek the
city.
Rural mail delivery, which brings

the trolley line and good wagon
roads have combined in the home

the desirable benefits of the, city
with the sane, simple and ahealthful

Education must begin at home.
The early years in the life Of the
child are the formative ones. Make
the home as attractive as. possible.
Pictures for the walls of living and
sleeping rooms are not expensive;
indeed, beautiful ones can be cut
out of magazines and papers and
put up in home made frames. A
few papers and magazines and books
dignifying and explaining wonders.
Too often but little consideration
is given to the greatest products of
the farm-the boys and girls. The
children of today are to be the men
and women of tomorrow.
Education should begin in the
cradle, and when the child is old
enough to read, see that the books
selected do not include the romantic
ones about how the boy left the
farm to become great and good in
the city. Too many boys have, to
their sorrow, put faith in their fairy
stories, wherein every success has
been achieved in the great business
centers. the books do not tell of
the failures. Where one Peter
Cooper made the world better by
going to the city, too many, others
are swallowed up in the army of
hunger, the disappointed, the use
less and the criminal.-M. ", Rich
