Many follower of the lighting game has asked
this very question time and time again since
the durable Dane crushed the invincible Joe
Cans so decsively last summer The question is
getting to be byword in many circles, yet nobody
has been able to answer it. Up to month ago
the admirers of Packey Mcfarland were touting

earned title, but we hear no OF this talk now

Des Moines does things because it

lying dormant. The results achieved
with the first 100000 exceeded the
most sanguine expectations of the

the city's industries have been cor

from the Des Moines of three or four
years ago as new western town from

acter and put the farmers of the coun-
ty on their mettle. Competition every
fall for prizes to be awarded for the
best exhibits of corn, wheat, oats and
seed would insure a better crop. The
study of scientific methods of soil
culture that would result If such q
competition were entered into would
improve the value of Wapello county

That an exhibit as fine as that dis

An annual exhibit in connection with

feature of conducting competitive

srRAlaHAEN IOWA RIVERS.

Another question to which the leg
islature may well give attention is the
Strengthening and improving Oh iowa
rivers. The deep water way question
is one that is prominently before the
people. The government has sent en-
gin, ers to survey Iowa streams and
report on the feasibility of making
them navigable. This has been done
by governmental appropriation. But
the government cannot be expected TO
go ahead with such work unless Iowa
shows that it wants the work done.
Iowa can show the proper interest by
going ahead and doing something on
her own account for her rivers. Some
thing should be done to strengthen the
streams. Every few years the state
bears a heavy expense because during
periods of high water the streams are
SO crooked the water cannot pass on
fast enough, and the result is Hooded
lowlands and ruined crops. The chan
nels of the rivers are getting choked
with mud because of the tortuous
channels. If the streams were
Strengthened thousands of acres of
land would be restored to cultivation,
the streams would keep their own
channels clear, the question of navi-
gability would be solved and the
heavy loss occasioned by floods would
be greatly minimized. This is a
question the legislature should seri-
ously consider

The Burlington Hawk-Eye has call
ed the attention of the Des Moines
county supervisors to the necessity OF
placing sign boards at every cross
road Rural mail boxes are now num-
bered, the Hawk-Eye points out, and
some farms have names. With good
roads, telephones, rural free delivery
with boxes numbered and bearing the
names of owners or occupants of the
farms, and some appropriate name
for each farm, the Hawk-Eye believes
there will come still greater incentive
for a drive in the country and an inn
proved social life that will make
the country more attractive This
would not be bad idea for the Wa
pello county supervisors to consider.
Something must be done about plac-

HE AGREED WITH THE ASP.

A gentleman who had been unceri-
moniouslv hustled out of a play house
because he Kissed when the curtain
fell on the second act, brought an ac
tion for damages against the manager
of the said house.
The court decided in favor of the
kissing gentleman, adding that if n
spectator is allowed to show his de-
neighbor had also the right to show
disapprobation in an audible fashion.
But the law of France was not al
ways so tolerant. In the middle of the
18th century it was strictly forbidden
to hiss in a playhouse; and in every
theater there were number Of
"Gardes Franchises" with strict or
ders to arrest any person infringing
the law.
But the French are not easily put
down by silly regulations and when
ever they see an opportunity they at
tack the authorities with that fearful
weapon-ridicule. In this case such
an opportunity came at the Coincide
Franchise during the performance OF
cleopatra play by Marmontel.
1t was badly written, dull work, and
the people were waiting for a chance
to give vent to their opinion At last
the chance came. The management
had ordered mechanical asp for the
great scene in the final act, when
Cleopatra puts an end to her life.
The actress raised the asp, which
started kissing, whereupon a spectator
rose to his feet and cried: "The asE
is quite right We all share his opin
ion!" Roars of laughter greeted this
joke, and it was foreseen that sim
liar scene would take place ever!
night so the piece was withdrawn
from the repertory.-The Gentlewom

BIG GOLD SUPPLY AND FARM
RICHES.

Most of us have little curiosity for
the undercurrent movements of money
and values. We leave that to bankers
and economists. The "silver" cam
paign of Bryan resulted in surfeiting
us with money talk.
But there is a movement going on
now in money circulation of the
greatest interest to business men
and especially those who want to an
alyze the wealth of the rural dis
tricts for business reasons. The
amount of gold going into circulation
is almost astonishing. 1909 gold pro-
duction will reach S450,000,000. The
silver agitators believed the per cap
tia circulation of money should be
raised from $40 to $50. Yet increasing
gold production has today automatl.
cally raised it to $35.
Necessarily, commodity prices have
matched this per capitaa increase OF
money circulation, and will match II
in the future if the prophecy of Her
bert Myrick, president of the Phelps
Publishing company comes true, that

PAST GLORY OF FARMINeToN.

Washington County Press The
Pennington Herald has been looking
up the history Of that place and finds
that there was time when 1t was
the second largest town in Iowa, with
a population in excess of that of Keo-
kuk and Burlington. In 1887 it was
the county seat of Van Buren, county
and that year the first barge came
down the Des Moines river loaded
with merchandise. Edwin Manning
was in charge. Indians were very
much In evidence in those days and
wild animals were numerous. In
1850, according to Colton's map, Van
Buren, county has population OF
$4,000 and ranked first in size in the
state. There were two mills at Farm
ington at that time, to which farmers
came from a radius of sixty-fve miles
These mills and the Meek Bros. mill
at Bonaparte were the only mills on
the river in pioneer days.
