Interesting facts are brought out, as
for example, the following:
ut is practically impossible to find a
community in the United States that
does not spend more money for whis

The report of the U. S. commissioner
of education shows that there are only
twice as many school teachers as there
are bartenders in the country"
The proportion seems scarcely in
Zine with economics, religion or good
citizenship or even ordinary common
sense Mr.. White has done us a serv-
ice in pointing out an anomalous sit
uation in christian civilization which
employs one half as many persons to
sell an antidote TO education as it does

is one that Americans may well pom

The latter day fashion of asking how
fast the animal can turn a mile in

NORTHERN IOWA CROPS.


Every day the prospects of the corn
crop in this part of the state grow
better The bright sunshine of the
past week, and the leather in every
way has brought the corn 10 the front
very rapidly. We hear it commented
on very favorably from all sections
that the outlook for more than an av-
erage crop in this part of the state
is the best it has been in years This
sounds good ito everyone, and especial
~ true to the farmer.
If the present Weather continues ev-
cry other crop is going to benefit to
the same extent as corn. The oats in
many fields is beginning to take on
golden color and will soon be ready
for the harvest. Hay making at -he
present time is going on at rapid
--'l-. ana the crop will be in the best
possible condition if present warm
sunshine and wind prevails. All these
favorable actions of the elements are
conductive to the increased buying
power of the farmer another year.
