TILE MAN IN MELBOURNE.
burlington Hawkeye)

burlington Hawkeye)
In Melbourne, in the good state OF
Iowa, there dwells a man who Is
comforting a benefit upon the state. He
has been experimenting for some time
and he has now demonstrated the fact.
that gobers can be grown in Iowa. The
quality is first class and the yield is
large. In some other countries that
man would be knighted. Surely some
sort of recognition ought to come to
the man who adds to the things that
Iowa can do. And there might be much
more sense and much more justice in
comforting title upon such a man,
of nobility The Sir Knight of the
Gober, whether he receives his title or
not deserves it and the thanks of the
state.
For the peanut industry is not one to
be sneezed at. Long since, the gober
has become a staple article of diet.
There are occasional enthusiasts. who
believe that the gober solitary and
alone, will make the ideal diet, which
will ward off all disease and upon
which people can prolong their lives
several centuries. How many Of very
good Americans are there who do not
seem to be able to enjoy drama. or
a lecture or a circus, or a musical en-
tertainment, unless they have placed
themselves into the proper mood by
partaking freely and vigorously of the
nutritive and nerve soothing gober.
The effect upon the nerves of the non
,goberite may be different, but that Is
an added reason why he should join
the munchers.
There is an added reason why the
man from Melbourne ought to be
knighted and why there ought to be
erected for him a stature in the temple
of fame The greatest delicacy of the
south is the gober fed ham. OF course
Iowa has Dixieland beaten to a stand
still, so far as hogs and pork are con-
cerned. And the bacon that was pro-
da,oed by a mast of beech nuts, hickory
nnts and acorns has ever been consid-
cred a delicacy by all who had grown
weary of tho corn-fed article But
there is something about the gober-
fed ham that would have inspired
Charles Lamb and would have resulted
in another immortal essay. In fact.
there are people who believe that the
gober- fed ham is worthy of an ode.
Now. If Iowa can produce the gober,
and she has the south beaten on the
mark. no doubt there will soon appear
ann Iowa-gober-fed ham that will make
tho epfeures from the southland throw
nm their hands in despair and VIII
make the last of the stubborn, unbend
ing. unreconstructed admit that Iowa
has conquered at last. There is noth-
ing that is impossible to Iowa and tine
things that she has accomplished 10
date are as nothing to what she pro-
poses to do in the future.

The Glad Hand in Australia.
MANI York Time

This manifestation of Australia
friendliness to the United States will
not pass unnoticed or be forgotten. The
jackies will remember it, we may be
sure, and return to tell their friends
and families of the hospitality of our
kinsmen on the other side Of the globe.
It is the dawn of a new era in the re-
lations of the western republic and the
enterprising people of the great Eng
disappearing commonwealth in the far
east. We have always had a friendly
feeling for the Australians. Henceforth
they will be more frequently in our
minds, and we shall be inspired to seek
a larger knowledge of them. Kinsmen
they truly are, and the word will stick.

SOME BROTHERLY WISDOM.

The good people of Grinnell are dis
t:rbed. A carnival is coming to town
Grinnell has a booster club and it has
| been SO eager to boost that a contract
| has been made with the Parker Amuse-
ment company for their street carni-
vel t. appear for week in Grinnell
The hope is that Grinnell may be
thronged with people and life injected
into activities of the circulating medi-
| um of exchange
But Grinnen is also 1.-THE home OF
powerful religious and educational So
cieties which are composed of high
minded men in goodly numbers. A has
tily improvised good citizenship COM
nittee has already convened in pro-
test against the coming of the street
carnival. Difference of opinion may be
said to be predominant in Grinnell.
In these matters Marshalltown can
address Grinnell with the mature wis
dom CT experience. Marshalltown has
known the carnival and also the street
carnival. The first was low bred
coarse, debasing kind of spectacle
which ought to have been driven from
the community by an outraged people,
anl it was. During the early stages of
tine carnival it was principally dirty
show and It slid the toboggan of fail
ure which alb such exhibitions must
slide among decent people
After it came the Incorporated carni-
val under syndicated management, re-
sponsible financially and conservative
in morals because of commercial ne
cessity. OF this kind is the Parker
Amusement company, or was when it
appeared in Marshalltown. 1t will not
shock public decency as the original
carnival did nor will it command much
respect from the business men who are
welcoming it to Grinnell in order to
boost the town If it is given place on
the streets every place of business
within the adjoining block will be so
annoyed and inconvenienced as to
cause the owners to be down on the
carnival forever afterward There will
be noise and din and dirt about the
streets for week. AS to the shows
they will be inoffensive but plebian and
light in character as to make man
wonder why he ever boosted for that
kind of public entertainment in Grin
nell The snake charmer, and the knife
juggler and the moving picture show
which often gets license from the
mayor to show on the street corners
will all come en- masse with the syn
dicated carnival or if they are not there
in person their, nearest of kin in the
show business will be there.
The present day carnival is of the
kind Of an institution that need not
be denied admittance to any town If
it wishes to come to do business on it's
own responsibility but merchants and
business men who get out and boost
for it as a, public enterprise will have
SO cheapened themselves in their own
self esteem that they will feel very
much like inviting the good citizenship
committee to be present while they
kick themselves as an evidence of ap-
probation of their own judgment.

Every year about this time we hear
much discussion on cutting up corn
stalks One well posted farmer tells
the writer the reason why so many
million dollars worth of good feed is
left in the fields of Iowa each year,
is the lack of help to shock it. Corn
binders do good work, the stalks are a
valuable food product, but men can
not be hired at wages to make 1T pay,
this taken in connection with the
practice of turning in the cattle after
the corn is husked. Again, he says.
that many farmers hesitate when to
put the corn binder to work. If too
soon, the stalks sour. If too late, the
goodness Is out of them. Furthermore,
the present prospect of high prices for
good sound corn, tends to make the
farmers prefer to let Nature do the
whole work of ripening the corn, and
not to chance cutting 1t too early and
injuring the corn itself
