DEBATES AT THE Y. M. c. A.

One of the most helpful projects of the
Young Mems Christian association is
that of the debates prepared for the
coming winter. A series of questions
will be debated by the boys, and the
several audiences will decide by ma
jority vote as to which side wins.
There is 10 pretense that the questions
viii be decided by the efforts of the
debaters. But there is one result that
certainly will be attained. The boys
viii be bettered. They viii learn one
of the most valuable lessons within all
the possible range of youth. They will
get the ability to think or their feet. y
Nothing is more helpful. The men who
can stand before an audience and make
an argument are the men who are Sc
Iected by their fellows TO represent them
in councils. in legislature. They are
the men who have the key to big public
office-if they want office. They are
the most useful members of society,
even if they never get an office.
And that suggests the other door to
success. When a man has learned to
stand with composure before an audi
ence and well express the arguments
that suggest themselves to sane think
ing, or that are digged from study, he
is in a position to cultivate the most
graceful of all the arts. You who heard
Senator Bob Taylor the other evening
know what is meant. That man does
nothing that seems difficult. He is not
finer in his perception than are many
of his hearers. He says nothing that
another man cannot say. And he doesn't
say it better than another man might
with the use of the same labor, the
same attention and the same care that
| Senator Taylor has employed.
Yet that man is making a fortune
every year. He is having the heppiest
possible time He is living every day
with the worlds greatest men. He i:
brother to the sincere souls all over the
world-now and in all the ages of the
past. He simply revels in the best com
pany in all the tides of time.
That is worth while even if it didn'
pay a cent. And it does pay. Thes'
boys of the Y. NJ. c. A. have the oppor
tunity TO develop one of the rarest, on
of the most valuable accomplishment
within the range of man.
1t is to be hoped the effort will pro
duce a great company of young fellow
who can speak well in any public meet
ing.

WATER FOR IRRIGATION.

Very likely one-half the water devot-
ed to irrigation would do all the work
of the present supply, II none of it were
wasted
a good deal is lost by seepage; a good
deal by evaporation. The loss is Sc
rious one in either case.
The time is coming when our people
viii send irrigation water through in
closed channels. or metal pipes. The
water is far too precious for wasting.

NOON.

Charmed into silence lay
The forest dimly lit;
No wind that summer day
Moved the least leaf of it.
No choric branches stirred
It's calm profound and deep.
Nor voice of any bird,
But silence dreamed like sleep.
Like dew upon the grass
1t fell upon my soul;
Loosed il to soar and pass
Beyond the stars control.
Vague memories IL woke,
Shapes far too frail for touch;
And then the silence broke;
Lest / should learn too much.

ORA sHuRT, DIES.
keots Young Man Dies From injuries
Received Some Weeks Since.

Eeota, Oct. l9-Once again Keota
has been shocked by the sudden death
OF one OF her citizens. This time the
call came to Ora Shurts, the youngest
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Shurts.
Over a month ago Mr.. Shurts was
thrown from horse and struck his
head against the cement walk. He
knew he was seriously injured and
consulted physicians here, at Wash.
ington and at Iowa City. His vision
was affected and he saw double. The
physicians told him there was a clot
ns blood on the brain and they could
do nothing to relieve him. He was
down town Friday but Saturday he
was taken IN, seemingly suffering from
a severe cold Physicians were sum-
moned and medical aid did all posi-
BILE for him. He was not thought to
be in a critical condition, but Mon
day afternoon, while friends were
to him he passed away
very suddenly. He leaves wife and
one child, two brothers, Peter, of this
place, and Charles of Oskaloosa and
his parents to mourn his untimely
death. He was young man not over
thirty years of age. The funeral ar
rangements have not been made pub
lie at this writing.

THERE'S MONEY IN THEM.
Cerro Gordo County Farmers Harvest.
ing Big Crop of Sugar Beets.

Clear Lake, Ia, Oct. 19.-The sugar
beet harvest will begin here this week
OF which Is believed to be one of the
best crops raised in this section OF
Iowa and which proves the wisdom OF
of the Iowa Sugar company OF Waiver
ly, which placed in charge of the fields
during the growing period, experienced
hands familiar with beet culture. A
total of $50 acres were raised here,
the acreage to each farmer ranging
from 80 to 55 per farm. and it is esti-
mated that the yield will be from ten
to twelve tons Per acre.
Secretary Wilson, OF the agricultur-
al department at Washington;says
that beet tops and the beet fibers
which are left and plowed under after
the crop is harvested are worth IS per
acre. The farmer then figures that
he is getting something over s22 per
acre from his land, with little work
put upon it.

Narrow ESCAPE,

Keith Vallandingham, employed in
the wrapping department OF the Bal
daufRosenblatt store, had a close call
this morning and came as near serio-
us injury and probably death as he
cares to. Good fortune favored the
young man and he came out of a try
ins experience without scratch or
y bruise. Those who were witnesses
to the accident were as much or more
frightened than the victim of the mis-
hap. Keith fell through second
story window located in the wrapping
department and started backwards to
land upon the iron railing OF a stair
way at the side of the building. He
caught by his legs upon the lower
sash frame as he was falling over 1t
and performed q circus stunt, hang
ing to the sash by his legs until he
those who came hurriedly to mis- res
cue in answer TO the screams of the
girls who saw him start to fall.
Keith was operating the package
delivery from the wrapping depart
ment. He pulled back q lever In the
act OF sending basket to a distant
station The act requires consider
able force in the exertion of which
the lever handle on this particular
occasion was broken. Young Nalland.
ingham was hurled backward by the
force of his own effort and not being
prepared for the release of the handle.
he croshed backwards through the
window, carrying the upper sash be-
fore him. The wrapping department
is crowded up against the ceiling and
the lower part of the window is low,
so that the top of the lower sash was
about the height of the knee. AS
Keith fell backwards his legs came
against the top of the lower sash and
he had presence of nina enough to
catch and hung to this with his legs
until he was relieved from the peril
Gus position. 1t was like escaping by
the skin of the teeth and Keith does
not court a repetition OF the exper-
fence.

Hugh Birney, for some years pastor
of the First Methodist church here, who
has been assigned to the biggest
Methodist church at Grand Rapids.

mons which he has been preparing
since his college days. The pastor
had left the sermons in an old suit
case. He went to Mason City leaving
orders that the trash in the house be
destroyed after his household goods
were packed. The party who remain
ed to pack up discovered the old va
lise and not knowing the Importance
of the contents, threw IL into the fur
mace, destroying valise, sermons and

Tama, Oct. 19.-Promoters of the
proposed Oskaloosa rama interurban
line have been meeting with encour-

Strubhar, engineers, have driven over
the proposed line and feel that the
proposition will be a very enticing
one
The right-of-way is being secured
and over $4,000 of the fund has al
ready been pledged. 1t is proposed
to run from Oskaloosa to Montezuma,
thence to Malcolm, to Sheridan and to
Tama. 1t is proposed to build the line
entirely on local capitol or capital sub
scribed by parties residing along the
right-of-way.
1t is estimated that the line can be
built for $4,000 a mile and would be
equipped with motor passenger cars
