IOWA TEACHERS PAID LESS.

Iowa teachers get less money for
their work than any other state in
the union, according to recent in
vestigation made by c. R. Scroggie of
the Midland schools. Although Iowa
leads high in per cent of no illiteracy
in comparison with other states, her
teachers receive less compensation
than even in the southern states,
where per cent. of illiteracy is high
er. The average salary in the small
towns in the south the wage is much
higher. Taking the two smallest
towns in Arkansas, where the litter
acy is high,-asa basis of comparison,
1t was found that the principal of a
three-room school at Lake Village, Ar
kansas, a town Of less than 1000,
received 1925 month as beginner
and no experience. and Alpheimer,
much smaller town, with but one
teacher and one school room, was
paying that teacher 500 month.
I'VE do well once in while to
stand off and look at ourselves" said
Mr.. Scroggie. 1--WE are very conde.
scending in Iowa to other states be-
cause of our high grade of intellect,
but we do not take into consideration
that Iowa is peopled by educated PEG
pie from eastern states"

THERE is A REAL SANTA CLAUS.

A little girl wrote this letter to
the Ney York sun:
Dear Editor am 8 years old
Some Of my friends say that there
is no Santa Claus. Papa says, If you
see it in the Sun, it's So Please
tell me the truth. Is there a Santa
Claus?
And me eurrur Xirgginia Hanlon.a
one of the wise men of Americas
greatest city assured his youthful cor
respondent that there was a real
Santa Claus. Here is what he wrote
in reply:
"Virginia-Your little friends are
wrong. They have been affected
by the skepticism of skeptical age
They will not believe anything ex
cept they see.
Eyes, Virginia, there is a SAINT;
Claus. He exists as certainly as love
and generosity and devotion exist
and you know that they abount
and give to your life its highes
beauty and joy. Alas, how drear.
would be the world if there were nc
Santa Claus. 1t would be as dreary
as if there were no Virginias. There
would be no childlike faith then, nc
poetry, no romance to make tolerable
this existence. We should have nj
enjoyment except in sense and sight
The eternal light with which child
hood fills the world would be extin
guished.
No Santa Claus! Thank God, he
lives, and lives forever. A thousand
years from now, Virginia-nay, ter
times ten thousand years from now
he will continue to make glad tbs
heart of childhood

SHALL WE HAVE a
WEIGHT LAW.
FULL

There is movement on foot to
require food stuffs and other articles
to be sold by weight.
The agitation was commenced by
the bakers. They, or at least some
of them are asking the legislature to
establish by law the legal weight of
loaf of bread
The question raised by the bakers
has broadened out, and now there
seems to be fair prospect for the
passage of law requiring all articles
to be sold by weight, which can be
practically sold in that way, and max
ing giving of short weights Grim
inal offence.
This is an age of commercialism,
and to secure fair dealing it seems
necessary to buttress all business
transactions with penal statutes.
The Pure Food law makes it unsafe
as well as Improbable to deal in
adulterated articles, but there is
no law in Iowa requiring full weights,
or any weights at all unless by agree
ment of parties. This opens wide
field for trickery. The farmer who
puts full 100 pounds of hay in each
bale will learn to his disadvantage
that hay in so or85 pound bales sells
for a little better price than his hay
And the creamery man will be able
to sell his butter at little more pei
pound in is OF. prints than in pack
ages containing full pound of butter
And the same is no doubt true in ref
erence O bread and many other ar
ticles. And the reason for these con
ditions is no secret. The retailer COZ
make more selling an 80 lib, bale o.
hay than he can one weighing lo'
lbs. To many purchasers all ha'
bales look about the same, and TIL
dealer who gets % bales for a to'
has an advantage over the deale
who gets only 20.
We can think of no valid reason 70
opposing law requiring all articles
to be sold by weight, which can b
conveniently sold in that way, ant
without such law fair dealing i
exposed to numerous abuses.

Phosphate Lands Withdrawn From
Entry.

By order of the President the phos-
phae lands belonging to the govern
ment in Utah, Idaho and Wyoming
have been withdrawn from entry.
These lands are believed to contain
the largest deposits in the world of
phosphate rock. and if the govern
ment retains the title they can be
leased on terms which will insure
their use to replenish the fertility of
the exhausted farm lands of this
country. Unless some. such plan as
this is followed these phosphates de-
posits will he bought up by some syn
dictate and their product shipped out
of the country. Last year 100000 ton
of phosphate rock were exported,
and fears were entrtained that this
country's supply would be exhausted
in few years.

FINCH pERFEcrs PATENT.

d. H. Finch returned home from
Racine, Wisconsin, last week, where
he manufactures an implement called
n weed extractor and lawn trimmer.
A recent perfection in the dyes aDol-
ishes possibility of breakage
where the steel work is welded to
the handle, no crimp now being
made. Mr.. Finch states that a thou
sand trimmers can be manufactured
III day, requiring the employment
o. five or six men. 1t is possible
that sufficient capital may be secured
from local financial circles and the
industry brought to Manchester. Mr..
Finch has placed orders during the
past month amounting to $4,000. The
implement sells for one dollar and
meets with ready sales.

THE IMPORTANCE OF COMMON
WORK FOR CHILDREN.

Tolstoi, who is known all the world
over as Russia's Grand Old Man, new.
err gave better advice to parents thar
when he said:
Standing on the threshold OF the
grave l beseech you to do this for
your children. Let them do all they
can for themselves: carry out Their
own Stops, fill their own jugs, wash
up, arrange their own ROOMS, clear
their boots and clothes, lay the table
etc. Believe me that unimportant as
these things may seem, they are q
hundred times more important fol
your children's happiness than q
knowledge of French, or Of history.
1t trains the children to simplicity
to work, and to self dependence.
If to this you can add work on the
land, If it be but kitchen garden,
that will be well.
Believe me that without that con.
dition there is no possibility of NOR
al education, Christian education, a
consciousness Of the fact that all
men are not divided into two classes,
masters and servants, but are broth.
ers and equals.
Have patience, and remember that
This present brood OF children is
not the first generation that has been
brought forh.'
