The slightly increased acreage win

cipally To the lack of rain at the

= GENERAL HOMECOMING.

A number Of Iowa towns are prepar-
ing to have -home-comings this sum
mer at which former residents will
meet and greet each other anu the
home-stayers, renew acquaintance and
revive the memories of "auld lang
syne." The attractions at such gather
ings include addresses by prominent
men, basket picnics, baseball games
and a general good time. Noting that
DEBORAH is to have an affair of this
kind, the Marshalltown Times Republi-
can suggests that the homecoming
be made general and include the en-
tire state. Young as It Is, Iowa has
sent the seed Of her planting all over
the face of the prairies of the north
and west and scattered her own from
end to end and side to side OF the
Louisiana purchase The Marshall
town paper sees this picture in its
minds eye:
Imagine all the children of Iowa
coming home with their children and
grandchildren to an old home week.
Imagine the multitudes that would
pour out of the west and come crowd

the circle. Think of the trains filed

fully happy and expectant. And thet

THE WIRz MONUMENT.

The attempt of the Daughters of the
Confederacy of Georgia to create and
perpetuate sympathy for Captain
Henry Wirz, the commander of An
Jacksonville prison, is greatly to be re
GREETED. 1t may be conceded that the
women OF Georgia have perfect right
to honor Wirz If they choose to do SO,
but the weight of opinion has been
conclusiyely settled against the plea
of innocence for that notorious prison
commander.
Captain Wirz was arrested, tried,
convicted and hung upon charges
that he had In his capacity as sub
ordinate officer in charge of the
prison at Andersonville committed
acts of murrer and fragrant cruelty, in
violation of the laws and customs Of
war. The Military Commission which
tried him was composed OF some OF the
most eminent men in the country, men
distinguished by their high character
and eminent fairness. The specific
acts alleged in the charges and specifi-
cations were conclusively proved by
229 eye-witnesses, and in addition TO
{ the charges preferred against him the
commission found Wirz guilty Of
other crimes than those specifically
set forth in the charges. He was ex
ecuted the same as murderers, raw
ishers, robbers and brigands were
executed for private acts outside ane

THE COST or FOOD.

Expert investigators into the cost OF
food in New York City have finally
fixed the unit OF living at $3.50 week
for the man who works This means
that $3.50 Is the lowest figure at which
good health and physical power may
be maintained
A woman CT a boy of sixteen is es-
timated at IS of the standard unit; q
girl Of fourteen to sixteen at q:
child ten to thirteen at s.; child six to
nine at s.; child two to five at 81
caild under two years at 2. Men over
sixty or men not employed are rated
at slightly under the unit standard q
$3.50.
With these figures as basis the
Chicago Journal points out that i Is
possible to estimate pretty closely
whether family is expanding TOO
much for food. A father. mother and
three children, the eldest boy OF six
teen, the next girl of twelve. and the
youngest child Of six, should be well
nourisned on food costing 1886 per
week Food for another baby should
cost thirty cents additional. II q
grandmother comes to join the family
that means still another $3.50. Thus
the family q seven would consume
s7.o5 in actual food cost out OF every
weeks wages.
1t would be interesting to know how
many families Of seven in Keokuk sub
sist on total food allowance OF $7p5
q week.

The accession of Mr.. D. L. Hughes
