What a misfortune it is that our
educational advantages are not suffi-
GENTLY good to keep our boys and girls
amoug us until they have at least con-
cluded their High School. This yearly
exodus of the young life from our COM
munity in order to obtain school ad-
vantages, is hurtful to town and county
and state. Does any body care?
Irvington is beautifully and conven-
iently situated with splendid railroad
facilities and is an excellent community
morally and socially. Let's all unite
to make it point where christian Gull
ture may be obtained so the home
seekers will not pass us by. Nothing
helps in upbuilding more than good
churches and good schools. The better
and more of these we have the more
people come to us as residents In
creased population of course increases
business. Merchants don't have time
to sit on goods boxes and discuss poll
tics in a thriving town whichis building
up substantially.

Government Crop ssRepo,t.

=
The government crop report rep
resenting the condition OF the prin-
cipal farm products on September l.
shows some decline in the condition
of corn as contrasted with the pre-
|vious Washington bulletin. Drought
in important sections of the corn
belt, combined with other unfavor-
able conditions, shows deteriora-
ton from 82.5 per cent on August
|ll. to 79.4 September 4, 500 Septem-
Der 1, 1907, and 90.2 September 4,
1906. On the basis of total acreage
and crop conditions the government
computes a yield this season of g.
598, 100000 bushels of corn, as
against 2,7O2, 100000 bushels esti-
mated August L, and approximately
2,592,300,0 900 bushels harvested in
1907. The lowest government esti-
mate gives the yield of corn this sea-
son in excess Of the crop harvested
last year.
Recent rains in central Illinoisand
other favorable localities accompa
MED with high temperature weather,
combine to incidentally improve the
prediction of good corn yield this
season. The next twenty days of
favorable weather will put the crop
out of danger of early frosts and
unquestionably improve the estim-
atsd yield.
AS regards the spring wheat es-
innate of 77.6 per cent, it is only
one point below the general average
of the last ten years and promises a
harvest of 2ES.OOO,O0O bushels, or
an increase of 34,00O,OOO bushels
over last year. The latest report on
the winter wheat crop estimated the
yield at 425,94O,O0O bushels, giving
an aggregate of j666, 1895, 900 bushels
= i
OF wheat for los crop, as against
6S1,764, 900 bushels in 1907.
Oats and other leading crop esti-
mates place the yields the current
season above the production last
year. The report has not seriously
affected the produce exchange, but
has given a decidedly bullish tone to
the investment market, as nearly
all standard securities made to 5
points gain the stimulus of
the government crop report. The
report is confirmation of what con
SENTATIVE investigators of crop con-
ditions had predicted and will prove
potential factor in encouraging
business activities.

Cams" Arkansas Law.

-Four interstate railroads that, in
their course. traverse Arkansas, be-
sought Judge vandeventer, of the
United State Circuit Court of APP
peals to enjoin the United States law
reducing passenger fares to 2 cents
mile. The Judge ordered the state
of Arkansas to show cause why it
should not be restrained and both
parties appeared before him in St.
Paul, the one to show that the rate
was not compensatory, the other to
ASSERT the sovereignty Of the state
and also to contest the allegation
that the 2-cent rate is unremuner-
alive. Judge Vandeventer sustains
the railroads and temporarily re-
strains the operation of the law.
Two points In this suit are notable.
The Iron Mountain & Southern as
serted that Its records showed loss
OF 3144.0O0 during the year on its
business in Arkansas. The auditors
statement omitted Income from the
carriage Of mail and from express
companies. AS the cost of that part
of the traffic was omitted from the
computation the attorneys insisted
that 1t was fair to omit the revenue
derived from 1T. The state insisted
that the revenue from those sources
should be considered; that every
passenger train carried mail and ex-
press cars; that this is the uniform
practice; that such carriage is an
essential and inseverable part OF
passenger service. and that It's cost
is incapable Of inseparable state.
ment. The brief dispatch announc-
ing the decision gives no judicial
reasons, but. prosamptively. the
Judge ignored the states contention,
He may have left 1t to be threshed
out at the trial. The point Is impor.
tant and bears upon the remunera.
tive phase OF the question.

Cement Sewer pipe.

Portland cement sewer pipes were
made in England probably as early
as 1926. before the period when
earthenware pipes were beginning
to be manufactured. Cement pipes

now extensively used In Germany,
and they Withstand not only the eff
feet OF 9 severe climate but the

Judge Parker Queer Makeup.

When Alton b. Parker was nomi-
mated for the presidency he was the
recipient of many sincere compli-.
ments, and since the close Of his
mismanaged and disastrous cam
paign there are evidences that he
Is held in high esteem even by his
political opponents. When he took
up the practice of law in New York,
Secretary Root paid him a notable
tribute of affection and respect and
expressed the hope that he might
see him on the bench again.
But no matter what fine and ster-
ling qualities Judge Parker may
have he Is certainly one of the most
tactless men that ever appeared in
American politics, and his obtuse-
ness sometimes suggests that eau
tious and considerate description of
old which summed up on dull and
feeble minded with the assertion.
that they We're not bright.
That the judge had no proofs
when he talked of campaign corrun-
ton In 1900, was shown by his co.'s
lapse under fire. He could not make
good. Though he had held very
high judicial Office he was as reck-
less in his utterances as some ire
sponsible curbstone orator. And
when hesrecurs to the old theme now
he gained noting by his reference to
Hartman and the insurance inves-
stigation because 1t Is evident that he
was informed by the later develop
ments like the rest OF us. He sue
ceeds merely in mphasizing his own
blunder which he should be . I'D !, !, !. Z
