the merchant. the blacksmith, and the
candlestick maker are all inter depen-
dent with the farmer. Unless he pros
pers they cannot.
Iowa has done some valuable initia-
| tory work along this line Our farm
| Institutes have led up thru a natural
| process of evolution to the somewhat
larger work of agricultural extension
and domestic science. While much has
been done 1t is recognized that the
work is inadequate and there is a feel
ing that we must have, and that very
| soon, d more elaborate system, with
| better facilities and longer periods of
| instruction, in short, development
and perfection of the idea. We must
have this SO that our agricultural in
terests can take the place evidently
intended for them by an all-wise prov
| idence as leader in the agricultural.
industrial, and indirectly in the finan
cial, affairs of the nation.
You are to be congratulated that
you live so near that you can take
yearly advantage of the scientific de-
partments of the college at Ames; but
knowing the altruistic spirit of Iowa
farmers, feel confident that you will
also lend your support and give your
utmost influence to the establishment
of at least four agricultural high
schools in those parts of the state not
favored as you are in Marshall coun-
ty. In my judgment in view off the
fact that very large percentage of
our children never go beyond the
eighth grade in our common schools,
and this is especially true Of the chill
dren of the farms, it seems almost es-
sential for the very perpetuity of our
civilization that provision Of this or
similar character be made, so that ev-
cry boy or girl who desires may get a
special training in practical things l
refer not only to the arts of agricul-
ture. but also to training in domestic
science and similar matters.
In this connection my attention was
attracted to newspaper editorial re-
Gently which seemed to me full of sig
niticance. Without attempting to quote
what was said. the writer carried out
the thought that in a country where
there is repugnance to a large stand
ing army. it might not be amiss for the
government, perhaps assisted by the
state, to make provision for technical

teal way training for the arts of
peace, and In case we should be 50
unfortunate as to find it necessary to
defend our rights by a recourse to
arms we would have the nucleus Of
great army whose patriotism and eff
cheney would not be questioned The
fact that men are thinking along these |
lines, and are ready to discuss such |
indicates that 1t is high |

The Chicago delegation which en-
tered an emphatic protest at Wash
ington against proposed bills In cong
ress to prohibit futures" in the selling
of farm products, returned particularly
impressed and pleased with the re-
suits Of conference at the White
| House with President Roosevelt. The
elimination of mere bucket shop
gambling which boards of trade have
consistently fought was discussed.
Bucket shops" deal in no commodi-
ties while IL is one OF the imperative
rules>of the Chicago and other boards
of trade of this country that every
purchase or sale of any commodity for
future delivery made between mem
bers. whether acting for themselves or
as agents for non members. must con-
template the actual delivery of the
property by the seller and receipt OF
same by buyer according to the terms
OF the contract. Failure Of either party
to literally fill the obligation subjects
the offender to severe penalties at the
hands of the directors. All this pro-
viding that within the life Of the con-
tract the transaction is not concluded
by the set off or ring up" and settled
by the payment of money difference
The supreme court OF the United
States has not only decided such flu
ture contracts are wholly legal but
has also decided that these set offs or
settlements as now in vogue. are also
legal. 1t would appear that the pend
ing measures now before congress. IL
enacted into law. would practically
do away with all operations in the flu
ture. in all likelihood force the ex-
changes to close and be fraught with
great danger to the enormous produce
ing and commercial interests Of the
country.

the continuance of a market worth
about $3.0OO,000 a year and the MAIN
tenance of peace and order in their inn

seem to live in constant apprehension
of American interferences with their
affairs They see us in Cuba and in
Porto Rico, and on the island whose
territory they share with the Domini-
cans They are extremely jealous of
their independence. and SOP far as they
can they seeek to bar out the foreigner
with his money and his enterprise.
They can best avoid the interference
which they dread by doing nothing that

that they recommended that the
claims of Mrs Elizabeth Rooney and
Mrs Polly Gordon, who have insti-

cause of injuries received from fall
ing on an icy sidewalk, be settled by
paying each the sum of $500. The
matter was put over until the next
meeting.
The committee appointed for tc
investigate the matter of grading
and accepting Rockwell avenue and
Salem street reported that when
Rockwell avenue is brought to grade
and that adjoining property owners
give deed of land for highway that
the same be accepted as public
street. The matter of grading Sa-
lem street as requested by num-
Der of petitioners, the committee
thought that the best way would
be for the petitioners to do the work
and then give deed of property to
the borough, after which it could
be accepted as highway.
The electric light committee was
empowered to change light on Good
year avenue. A hearing on the es-
tablishment of grade lines on South
View street was set for April 81.
The claim of Benjamin Engleman
for damages done by surface water
was not allowed by the board. The
hearing on the establishment OF
highway and grade lines on Lewis
street was then opened and after
almost every property owner on the
street saying that they favored the
proposed change the board ordered
that the same be done as the Dor
ough engineer had prepared plans
and maps for the convenience of the
board. .e- e.,
The hearing on Carroll street
matter was then taken up and the
majority of the property owners ia
vored the proposed improvement,
but definite action was deferred I'M
