ife of Paris Raa-Pickera,

The rag-pickers of Paris are born 10
their work, the occupation being passed
from father to son for generations, says
the October Popular Mechanics, which
contains three pages Of pictures show
ing the life of these interesting people.
The article states:
Each rag-picker family has it's own
district which is inherited by children
and grandchildren. In spite of all the
progress made in modern and elegant
Paris, barrels Of waste are piled up on
the street in front of many buildings
on beautiful boulevards in the early
morning hours, and 1t is the privilege,
and in fact the mission, of the rag
pickers to examine this refuse. They
have use for everything, and but little
lis left after they have passed, their
very thoroughness being one reason
why the system is still allowed.
Every scrap has it's market, rags are
gathered for paper manufacturers
shoes go back to leather dealers, old
sardine and preserved meat tins are
used for making playthings, old bones
produce gelatine and glue, lemon and
orange peels are greatly sought after
and sold at the rate of cent a pound
to perfume and syrup manufacturers
old metals are highly priced, cigar
stubs go to tobacco factories, and even
stale vegetables are carted away.
The quarters of the rag pickers OF
Paris are just outside of the confines
of the city, sections carefully avoided
by most people who do not belong tt
the guild. Every member of the fam
! lily. from the oldest to the 3-year-old
takes part in the sorting of the spoils
and it often happens that members OF
a family die either from stale food OF
from cut from one of the tins.

SIGN OF THE FUTURE.
rEc4har,,illa Entarnrise


There is not a happier man on earth
than a prosperous Iowa farmer. Here
where seasons are favorable, where the
soil is the best and most productive
and where irrigation is not necessary
is little paradise. Few living in this
beautiful state realize the great flu
ture that awaits Iowa. Think Of the
remarkable growth in the last twenty
years, and then gain an insight into
the great future. The next twenty
years will see Iowa farms cut up in
small tracts and farmed as farms
should be farmed. Now enough goes
to waste on Iowa farms every year to
feed multitudes of people. When farm
ing is reduced to q science and the
farms are we'll stocked then the farms
will bring wonderful interest on in
vestment. Dairying is the salvation of
the Iowa farmer.
In few years many Of our citizens
who are now going to other states will
cast longing and lingering glances back
to their dear old home, and they will
wonder why they left such a -magnifi-
cent state.
The present day prosperity of the
thrifty Iowa farmer is but a sign of the
future.

glorification Of the crime of treason
by a governmental official adviser and
director Of an important department
of the government, any one who carries
jeff Davis picture on his heart is too
much of an ass to be trusted with
leadership and responsibility. Further,
whoever brags of his admiration for
Davis and the scheme of human slav-
cry upon which Davis issue had its
foundation demonstrates his own unfit
ness in the logic of history to guide and
direct ID government like ours. More
over Dickinson is a democratic goat
in a sheep fold and and belongs on the
other side of the barb wire.
1t is all we'll enough for the survivors
of the armies of the confederacy to
carry the memory of Jeff Davis as the
head of a cause they suffered and
fought for; to march under the tattered
flags they bled beneath and raise in
the senile quaver of old age the rebel
yell they gave throat when they swept
across the bloody grass a Gettysburg
and locked in the death grip at the
Bloody Angle Their sous and grand
sons have excuse if not justification for
their prideful memories of men like
these. Not only they, but the children
and grandchildren of the men who de-
feated them are proud of common
blood The war has been forgiven, but
treason has not been forgiven and
Davis, the conspirator. Who led a sec
ton into rebellion has not been re-
habilitated. He is not proper object
for apotheosis on the lips Of cabinet

Secretary Dckinson's best and worst
excuse must be that he was playing
politics and casting bait for vote
founded on recollection and sympathy
with national crime. And that is d
poor excuse.

matter with propaganda for the con-

1t was a center shot for public at
tention. So we turn with interest to
the announcement by a subsidiary
body of the American Academy of
Medicine styled the Committee on

discussion of the important subject of
infant mortality will be held at New

of children has attracted the attention
of the American academy, and will re-
