Song From Biornson.

Song sets the thrilling emotions a.
glowing,
Driving the doubt and the darkness
away;
Song with eternity's power is blending
Future and past for your fancy and
sight
Breathing unlimited longings, and end
Dreamlike, in Nvisions of beauty and
light.
Song is from discord power redeem
ing,
Leading to peace on glorious
course;
Song is releasing with melodies stream
ing
Spirits of light with their pathos and
force;
Onward TO beauty, to action and know
Ing
Crossing bridge that is star-lt and
straight,
Song scars to heights where bright an
gels are going
Into the land of our hope and our
faith.
Songs of the past with their longings
and dreamingS
Cast with sadness the shadows of
eve;
Songs of the present in music are
streaming,
And for the future bright memories
leave.
Past generations in song have a meet
ing,
Measuring time by the tunes of the
Tyre;
Spirits Of those who have passed send
a greeting,
Blended in sounds of a festival choir.

THE THRIFTY GERMAN.

There is probably no other county
in Iowa that has a better class of
farmers than we have here in Grun-
dy county. A very small portion Of
them have been reached or benefited
thru the most excellent agricultural
school at Ames, where scientific farm
ing in made a speciality. And yet our
best farmers make farming a science,
not by taking a special course in an
agricultural school but by placing their
heads first and their hands second in
doing their work A level head which
must have common sense to keep 1T
in balance is as much needed on
the farm as it is in the bank or in the
professional service.

the big trusts all to pieces, and to say
that a revision Of THE patent laws

matter. Just few days ago the owner

"The fellow who said that after the

setting forth the facts that lots of
Iowa corn is bringing $50 to $35 per

on the finished do6rs for the job COM
plete was about $50, but, as afterward
discovered, the first firm submitting
the price did not have the nerve to
quote the bill complete, saying that
they did not handle the hardware on
the job. After due time a complete
price on the revolving door was Sc
cured, and say, talk about hold-ups in
1.-THE back alleys they are nothing
compared with the prices quoted on
this job. The latest estimate was be-
tween $500 and $3.50. Later on it might
be 1851.
Think of 1t, Five hundred dollars
for a job of hardware that would not
cost at the most, say $25, and all be-
cause some get rich quick fellow has a
patent on 1t. No law should stay on the
statute books minute that would give
any person a chance to commit such
braZen robbery just because he hap
pened to have patent on the device in
question Inventors should have ade-
quate protection, but they should not
be allowed to legally rob the public.
The Hampton postoffice will not have
a revolving door, for the present at
least. No wonder the big hotels with
revolving doors charge such high rates.
They probably charge a fellow a dol
lar every time he goes thru the door.
THE HEN AND BETTER MONEY.
(Early News).
William Determan informs us that he
milks ten cows this year and sells his
cream to the creamery; that he has
received as high as SAG per month for
his cream. This is certainly a pretty
good revenue from ten cows--$4 per
month each, besides the skim milk.
This is only one of the many proofs
that dairying pays-will pay every
farmer, especially where there is a
good creamery in reach to take the
cream at the real market price, price
that Is not controlled by trusts The
Early creamery is doing good work
now-turning out a large amount of
butter weekly for which 1t Is receiving
the top market price in New York, and
which is paid over to it's patrons every
two weeks, less expense of making and
shipping. j. l.. Durham informs US
that he has paid to the farmers of this
vicinity nearly $500 for poultry during
the about two months he has been
buying. This is certainly a goodly
amount of money for one buyer to pay
for the modest hem in that short time,
and what's more every person that has
sold Mr. Durham poultry has the as
surance that he has received its full
