Cedar Rapids Republican: A
man near Mason City the other
day told a newspaper man that
with ten acres of land in good
cultivation he can support his
family in good shape and have
a little left at the end of the
year. He will have some
thing else, too. He will have
something working in the ope n
air, being his own master and
enjoying the liberties which
men ought to prize most in this
life. The day is coming, we
believe, when every farm in
Iowa will be reduced in size.

A Slam at the Old Men.

- Slam at the Old Men.
Cedar Rapids Republican:
Among the men who were ed
ucated so and 40 and 80 and 20
years ago there were more who
cannot spell correctly nor Go
common sums in arithm etc
than there are now. The truth
of the matter is every mans
education has to be completed
outside of the school room.
When he gets into practical
life he finds that there are
many things that have to be
learned. 1t will be the same
way with the young men and
the young women who come
out of the present schools, how
ever we'll equipped they may be
What one learns in school is
only the beginning Of his edu.
cation. There are many who
walk out of the school rooms
with diplomas in their hands
who cannot spell all the words
lin the unabridged dictionary.
But there are some persons
who can not learn correct spell
ling. There are others who
will never have an intelligent
conception of a sum in arith-
metic. But there are fewer
nowadays than there were a
quarter Of a century ago.

Secretary Wilson gives Us
some interesting details. "rhe
most striking fact in the his
tory of the worlds agriculture,
he says, sis the value cf tie
corn crop of 1909 in this cour-
try, which amounts to about
81, 100, 100000"
"This corn" he says came Up
from the soil and out of the air
in 100 days $40 100000 a dsy
for one crop-nearly enough
for two dreadnoughts daily, fer
peace or war. 1t nearly equals
the value of the clothing aid
personal adornments Of 10000,
600 people according to the
census Of 1900 The gold ard
silver coin and bullion of the
United States is not of greater
value.
"The value Of the corn crop
is the highest on record, and it
is greater than the average Of
the five preceding years by Sc
per cent, while the farm price
per bushel is greater by 80 per
cent. The price per bushel on
Nov. /, which was GIG cents,
has been exceeded only once
in the records of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, beginning
with 1866, and that was in 1881
when it was SO 6 cents.
"1n quantity of production
this years corn crop stands sec
ond, with 2,767, 100000 bushels,
being exceeded by the crop of
1906, but it is greater than the
average crop of the five pre-
ceding years by 35 per cent.
Paying IS for Hogs is claimed
to be Ruinous.

shippers are nursing sore spots
as a result Of the punishment
administered by packers this
week. This is likely to check
the movement, as paying SO
per cwt. at loading points, even
for the best hogs, is ruinous
under present conditions, and
growers have been educated to
expect that price. Shipping
demand is all but lacking local.

Northern Arizona Is

IN GREAT DEMAND

Northern Arizona is coming to

sheep are being shipped every
day and the sheepmen are finding
out that their choice sheep are III

BILE TO supply Dhe same.
Messrs. Spellm re & Lyons,
two progressive sheepmen ofthis
county, who make a speciality cf
the famous Rambouilett NerinO
rams, were scheduled to exhibit
some of the choicest of the lot
at the New Mexi o Fair, rtcen lv
held at Albuquerque, but in or

They will send choice bunch to

LOCAL RACER
In MARATHON

Our esteemed tOwnsman, Mr..
Mcnamara, has returned from
Albuquerque where he achieved
the distinction Of being the only
white man with grit and the nerve
to finish in the gurelling fifteen
mile n arathon that was one of
the features of the fair.
Mcnamara deserves all the credit
that WinslOw can extend to him
for his game exhibition. When one
takes into consideration the fact
that with but two weeks amatue1
training, with no appliances for
proper develOpement and harden
ing ofthose all important muscles
for running, with no one cOmpe-
tent to teach him judgement of
pace, that most important essen
tial of distance running, this
young man entered hinselfagain-
st professional runners and Indins
bred from childhood to art Ofrun-
ing, the mere fact of his finishing
at all is astounding.
Above everything else, the pre-
sent fad of n arathOn running is
calculated to show up that "yel-
low streakv so often found in the
most unexpected cases. McNama-
ra has survived the test. There's
no yellow in his composition, and
that's a safe bet.
We wish you better luck next
time Mac. Winslow ought to see
that you 60 to the next race in
fit condition, with some one along
to relieve you ofthose bothersome
minor details to be attended to
before a race, and not leave them

SEWER SYSTEM IS
NOW A CERTAINTY
Council to Act at Next Meeting VIII
Then be up to Voters.
NO FEAR AS TO THE RESULT OF ELECTION

At the next regular meeting of
the CITY council action will be
taken on the sewer system prop
osition, the city attorney will
submit a report showing the gen
eral status of the city, and Civ
ing an estimate of the popula-
ton.
An election will no doubt be
called about the first Tuesday
in next month, when the people
will have a chance to vote on
this proposition. There is no
fear felt as to the outcome of
such an election, as everyone,
with the exception of a few local
capitalists, seems to be in favor
of having the system installed
at once.
The cost of the system, as es-
timated by w. P. Bullock, a con-
sulting engineer of Chicago, will
be about $4O,O 0, and the firm
of Ulen, Sutherland & Co., bond
ed abstractors, of Chicago, have
signifed their willingness to sup
ply the money as soon as the
people have decreed that the
sewer shall be.
The survey for the system has
already been made, and much of
the preliminary work has been
done, so that as soon as the
on come of the election is known
work can commence at once.
They who argue that it will
be bad policy tor the city to go
in debt to such an extent are not
progressive, and these same men,
the Mail learns, are anxious to
install privately owned sewer
system, so that their opposition
is simply a selfish one.
The Mail believes that this sys-
tenn should be installed at once,
and that the city should do it,
and we believe the people will re-
cord their votes the same way.
If private individuals can make
good thing out of it, the city
won't be the loser by putting it
IN.

NOISY RECEPTION
 FOR NEW YEAR
FROM FRIDAYS DAILY.

Whistles, bells and guns gave a noisy reception to the New Year at I2 o'clock last night. Several citizens who were awakened thought fire alarm was being given, and were glad to be in- formed that the noise was only welcome to 1909. Several watch parties were given in the city.
 Little attention is being paid here to the fact that today is national holiday. The banks and the postoffice are closed, but aside from this business is proceeding as usual.
 The day is observed by the Catholic church as holiday, not as the beginning of the new year, but as anniversary of the chrlsten' ing of Jesus Christ.

CAMP A|CN
 FOR ENDOWMENT
FROM SATURDAYS DAILY.

Dr. James Thomas, commission CT of education for Hendrix and Galloway colleges, left this morn ing for Little Rock, after having been in conference for the past two days with President Stonewall An- derson, Governor Geo. w. Don4 aghey and Capt. w. w. Martin in planning to raise the endowment of Hendrix College.
 It was unanimously agreed by each of the three Methodist conA ferences that every effort of the church should be put forth in an endeavor to raise the total endow- ment to $500, ,ooo. The college now possesses productive endow- ment amounting to $I32, ,ooo, but the debts of the institution amount to about $3o, ,ooo. It will thus re- quire about $2oo, ,ooo to increase the endowment to $500, GOO and put the college out of debt and it is to raise this amount that plans were adopted yesterday. The de- tails of the plan are not given out, but President Anderson says that the work will be vigorously prose- cuted and he has no doubt that the efforts will be successful.
