TOBACCO AND BOYS

1t has long been known that tobacco
has a deleterious effect upon the
young. 1t stunts physical growth and
interferes with mental development. A
recent study of the boys in the four
classes of high school in COM
munity where the use of tobacco is
very prevalent among both men and
boys confirms the foregoing state
ments. In the school in question one
boy remained in the fourth year class
out OF eight who had started in the
first year, and he was not user of
tobacco. In the third year class
eight remained out of twenty-six who
had entered the first year. Of these
three out of the four non users were
doing good school work while the
four users were all doing poor work,
The second year class showed thir-
teen remaining out of the twenty
eight enrolled the year before and OF
these five out of six abstainers were
doing satisfactory work and six out of
seven smokers We're falling behind
Exact figures could not be secured as
to those who had dropped out during
the three years, but enough to show
that at least eighty per cent Of them
had formed the habit of smoking be-
fore they entered the high school.

BIG FARMS IN DAKOTA.

relates conversation he had re-
Gently with a Dakotan as throwing
some light on the size of the farms
in that state The latter claimed to
have seen man start out in the
spring and plough a straight furrow
until fall. Then he turned around
and harvested back. On the same
yeraeious authority it is the usual
thing on Dakota farms to send young
married couples out to milk the cows.
Their children bring back the milk
AS further illustration the Dakotan
claimed he once saw farmers fam
lily Frustrated with grief. The women
were weeping. the dogs were barking,
the children were squalIing and the
tears ran down the farmers cheeks
as he hitched up his twenty-mule team
and drove off. In reply to an in
quiry as to where the farmer in ques-
ton was going the Dakotan explain
ed that ne was going half way across
the farm to feed the pigs. The next in
quiry was: Did he ever get back?v
1t isn't time for him yet was the
reply 1t will be noted from these
limitations and implications that

NO CAR SHORTAGE

Danger Of car shortage. immin-
ent a few weeks ago. has entirely
passed. according to prominent rail
way officials. Nearly all the roads
centering in Chicago are taking means
to allay the apprehension which
shippers feel everywhere with respect
TO tae car situation. Despite the
fact that the Northwestern road. for
example, handled 100000 more load
ed cars during the month of October
than during the corresponding month
OF last year, this road is not expert
encing shortage of cars or of power
In connection with the passage of the
car shortage danger, railroad men de-
clare that shippers and receivers of
freight are entitled to a large part
OF the credit In former times ship
pers and receivers failed to increase
their facilities commensurate with
the increase in their business. with
tie result that railroad cars, whole
trains of them, were used as storage
warehouses. This condition has large
ly passed away and the railroads are
enabled to handle fully % per cent
more business with the same equip
ment than formerly.

CORN GERM KILLED.

DR.. George NJ Chapel, section
director at Des Moines of the United
States weather bureau, has sounded
the warning that prospects of an aver
age corn crop in Iowa next year are
slight indeed if the farmers of tae
state use seed from this years yield.
Information received by DR.. Chapel
from over 700 crop reporters of the
state indicate that the freeze of Octo-
Der, 1912 seriously damaged, and in
some localities killed. the germ. DR..
Chapel estimates the total extent Of
damage at 90 per cent. Some coun-
ties in the southern and southwest.
ern districts reported 80 to 80 per
cent of the germs killed According
to DR.. Chapel, this is the worst con-
dition farmers in Iowa have been
menaced with in long period OF
years. The great danger is that
farmers will persist in picking out
fine looking ears that appear all right,
Tie trouble is, kernels that will
terminate at the present time, may not
terminate in the spring. He says that
the only sure way to insure success
with next years stand is to terminate
every kernel before putting 1T into

last years corn for seed next year,
which is tae best thing to do under
the circumstances.

THE MAN WHO WINS

The man who wins is the man who
does.
Who makes things hustle and hum
and buzz;
Tie man who works and the man who
acts.
Who builds on basis OF solid facts;
Who doesn't sit down and nope and
dream,
But humps ahead with force and
steam;
who hasn't the time to fuss and fret
But stakes his money and wins the
bet.
The man WHO wins is the man who
wears
A smile to cover his burden of cares;
Who knows that the sun will shine
again,
That the clouds will pass and we need
the rain;
Who buckles down to a pile of work
And never gives up and viii not shirk
TIL the task is done ard the toll made
sweet,
While the temples throb with the red
blood's heat.
The man who wins is the man who
climbs
Tie ladder of life TO the CHEEKY

OF bells Of labor and songs of toll
And isn't afraid that his skin viii

If he faces the SHINE of the glazing

And works in the light till his task

The Cedar RAPIDS / ibrarv

y
Cedar Rapids Gazette: DR.. G..
Walter Barr, the Keokuk newspaper
man and author who has just spent
several days in Cedar Rapids, says
this city has a finer library building
than he has seen in any city of sim
liar size or in town of much larger
size We all believe DR.. Barr is
justified in making such statements.
We have a magnificent building. it
was built for a small sum compared
to the amount of money expended on
some no larger and no more preten-
tious building. The Cedar Rapids
library building will long stand as a
monument to the members of the
board who planned it and watched it
to completion, and the builders and
every one connected with its erection,
DR.. Barr was simply delighted with
the building. However, he made one
or two comparisons that were not
altogether favorable to Cedar Rapids.
He said that Keokuk, with much
smaller population, has a library
counts ours, and that the circulation
of books in Keokuk is much greater
than in Cedar Rapids, in proportion to
the population. DIR. Barr is in close
touch with library work in Keokuk,
and took particular pains to get the
figures, etc, necessary to properly
size up the local library. Taking it
for granted that Keokuk is not too
much Of a library town, it seems
Cedar Rapids needs a little awaken
ing along that line.
