The art or exercise of dancing can
be traced back to the early Egyptians,
who ascribe that invention to their god
Thoth. Beyond doubt dancing is
much older than history. 1t began in
connection with religious rites and
was performed in honor Of the deities
that were worshiped.

THE COUNTY NEWS


do not believe that the times are
pregnant with Democrat victory.
The birth of such hairy monstrosity
next November would be like throw

facts makes one inclined to regard a
sincere democrat as a pitiful victim
of hereditary traits.
Don't worry. Go right on and do
your duty. Look up and let every
body read your face, and you kindly
read the faces that you meet, it is es-
sential thatwe understand one another
If you do this you will discover as
time goes on that those who have
been saying mean things about you,
will grow uneasy beneath your steadv
gaze, and when you look into the
windows of their souls dwelling they
will nervously pull down the blinds to
hide the sneak within who rudely in

norant weaklings we are to thus abuse
each other and so live that we vince

to be converted into friend, Destroy

Let the Voters Decide,

The Guthrian believes that Cover
nor Cummins should call the legisla-
ture together in a special session for
the purpose of amending the primary
law so that the republican voters can
vote for their choice for United States
Senator. The primary law could be
amended so that the voters could vote
for their candidate at the general
election in November. This method
is open to criticism, as would all
other methods applied to the solution
of the peplexing matter by Governor
Cummins. This plan of determining
the choice of the people of the state for
senator would do much towards clari-
tying the political middle in Iowa
and would do more to insure repub.
lican General Assembly than any
thing else. 1t would take the fight off
of the legislative ticket and centre it
upon the senatorial candidates where
in Iowa the fight is the fiercest. 1t
means that II. X. Dewey, republican
will be elected to the legislature from
Guthrie county instead of democrat

Prizes Advance Price of Land

Land in Northern Mississippi ad-
vanced from SIS per acre to S25 and
$50 per acre because of an award Won
by grower OF alfalfa on his exhibit
at the st. Louis Exposition.
This story is told by Captain J. F.
Merry, general immigration agent of
the Illinois Central railway, who has
in his possession, letters and reports
which Substantial his word, which 10
itself is good with every newspaper
man in Iowa and Illinois.
There are some lands particularly
adapted to certain crops. No one
knew just what some of the Mississippi
lands would produce until the farmers
experimental with alfalfa. When one
of the Mississippi growers won the
prize, it became apparent that the
Mississippi lands were alfalfa lands
and five crops a year are now being
produced on them. The result is that
the lands have increased in value.
The National Corn Exposition
which is TO be held at Omaha, Decem.
Der to 10, will show the varieties
best suited to certain sections of the
agricultural region, even better than
they were shown at one of the Worlds
Fairs or Agricultural Expeditions.
To learn more ABOUT clover and alfal-
ia as soil rejuvenators is worth a trip
to the exposition at Omaha. These
crops not only feed the soil but also
furnish much needed protein feed.
Better crops mean crop rotation, and
this means an effective way to get rid
of many insect pests. The results of
seeding fields to clover and alfalfa in
regular rotation with other crops, will
be shown in the magnificent exhibits
which will be shown at the Omaha
EXnOsitiOn.

II am a victim of consumption, so

The cry of agony is not taken from

There is In it a fearful warning.
And you do not need to read this
poor little sermonet to find it. How
ever
1t may not be out of the way to en-

girl who is just beginning to take an
occasional drink because she thinks
she needs it or because she is tired

drink just for fun" or because her
'set' does this thing.
l wish this editorial might lead you
to read again the wall of the poor wo-
man and burn into your soul the con-
seriousness Of the irremedial evil Of the
use of drug potions and drink stimu-
lants-
Because students of social conditions
say the drink custom and the drug
habit among women are alarmingly on
the increase.
1t is not strange that a woman
should contract an appetite for stimu-
lants. The habit is not more abnor-
NAL than the male habit. Especially
are those women tempted who keep
late hours and indulge in social dissi-
pations. But they are not more tempt
ed than the poor woman drudge whose
vitality is spent in ceaseless toll or be-
cause Of poverty or of ignorance or Of
abuse.
Nevertheless
The curse is the same whether upon
man or woman, for at the last it bit
eth like serpent and stingeth like an
adder"
1t is also true that the effect of liq-
uor or drugs habitually used is worse
in its effects upon woman. Her finer
sensibilities are the more easily raw
aged, the fine edge Of her keener sense
of delicacy the more easily blunted.
If she is rich, she may hide her
growing coarseness In sheltered
home or disease may take her to a
premature end. If she is poor. humili-
alton may drive her to suicide or pov-
erty may lead her to something worse.
There is an awful warning in that
despairing cry, TOO late-too late!

TWENTY-NINTH ANNUAL MEETING
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and

Only four weeks more until the Coun-
ty Fair To have a good fair requires
united action. The officials cannot do
it alone. They put the grounds in
order, print the premium list, prepare
the program and do other preliminary
work. But they must have the CO.
operation of the people of the county
in order to make it success. The
business men, the professional men,
the farmers, the breeders of fine stock
must all join the procession in order
to have good showing and a pleas
ant time at the county fair. Make
preparations to come and bring all
the family. Come Two or three days
if you can. Visit with your friends
and have good time. While looking
over an old paper the other day we
found the following article that may
be of interest to some of the older
people and information to some of the
younger ones. 1t was dated August
81, 1881, and addressed to E. j. Free

some idea can be had of the odds to
be overcome when it is stated that if
all three went for Bryan and Kern,

in 1904, the democrats would be beat
en- in the electoral college by 27l to
