CARAM BAL

From FL Correo Espanol, Orgon of
the Spanish Colony in the City of
Mexico-Assuredly the news Of an or.
der for arms recently placed In Europe
for the equipment of the Cuban army
has Infatuated the Yankees. No doubt
Magoon advised the creation of a
standing army in Cuba in the hope
that the United States would be it's
providers.
AS the expectation was not realized
the disappointment of the wouldbe re.
generators of Cuba Is manifest, and
they have resolved to send the arms
anyway, but borne on the shoulders OF
their soldiers, and afterward to send
in the bill once more to the Cuban PEG.
pie.
1t will be seen that the ambition the
rapacity and the violence of the North
American knows no limits. The per-
secution Of Castro scandalized the
world: Panama constitutes a dark
page Of human history; the American
Intervention in Venezuela and the
abuses committed there are past de-
scription; the intrigues In Central
America are likely yet to cause much
talk, and the affairs of Porto Rico and
the Philippines complete the picture
of policy which has no equal for am
bition, arbitrariness, rapacity, fraud
and violence. This is a huge orgy OF
filibusterism, exhibiting itself to the
world in all its nakedness, and the
world will have to put itself on It's
guard against such Vaccinations.

WHAT CROPS MEAN.

The statement of railroad presl-
aent that a s4,OOO,O00 order for new
cars and locomotives hangs upon the
size Of this years. harvest gives con
crete example of the wonderful value
Of bountiful crops. The Philaaelphla
press takes this statement to mean
that the railroads are prepared 10
spend s110 100000 for new equipment
If the crops are big, as the railroad
man quoted represents only twenty
fifth of the country's mileage. Good
news from the farm, then, is shown
to be equally good news for manufact-
urers Of steel and makers of cars and
builders of locomotives. The Phlla-
delphia paper declares that, though he
does not always know it, the city work
er is as vitally concerned in the har-
vests as is the man in the fields. Pros
perity hinges upon the amount Of corn.
wheat, hay and oats which this garden
part of the world will produce this
year, and every day of sunshine is now
actually worth millions to the people
of this country.

TELLS TELEPHONE GIRLS THE
TRUTH.

Philadelphia Public Ledger. Two
telephone girls were talking over the
wire one afternoon. The subject of
the conversation was lawn party,
which was to take place the next day.
Both were discussing what they
should wear, and after five minutes
had come to no decision.
In the midst of this important con-
versation masculine voice interrupt
ed, asking humbly what number he
had. The lack of reply did not squelch
the inquirer, for he asked again for
the number.
One Of the girls became indignant
and scornfully asked:
What line do you think you are on,
anyhow"

sure, but judging from what I have
heard should say l was on clothes

SPELLING "REFoRM" DROPPED.

The discovery by the government
printing office that it is done with

great attention because the public
has ceased to be interested in the at
tempt to force this sort of spelling re-
form upon an unwilling people. At the
time that the government printing
office was saddled with this change 1T
was generally felt that blunder had
been made, though credit was given
for excellent intentions. Perhaps, now
that the government printing office has
returned to the tortuous but beloved
path Of English as she is spelled, 1t is
just as well that the excursion was
made. 1t cannot be claimed that the
new spelling did not have generous
official trial.

John G. Simpson, one of Iowas
agricultural experts, has the right
idea of how best to educate the farm
ers and youth Of Iowa to remain here.
He would induce them to stop trying
to raise more corn to feed more hogs,
to buy more land to raise more corn,

ticability of doing more intensive
farming. He cites the experience Of
two Des Moines gardeners who made
$3.50 on little patch Of onions and
$4,000 on small garden of celery as
an indication Of the returns brought

RURAL COMMERCIAL CLUBS.

The Kansas City Journal calls at
tention to an awakening OF pupllc
spirit among the farmers of Kansas,
which has taken expression IN tne
formation Of rural commercial clubs.
The idea Is spreading so rapidly 1t is
predicted that practically the entire
agricultural portion of that state Will
be represented in these organizations
within few years. The main purpose
of these Commercial clubs is the I'M
movement of the material condltlons
of farm life, and, naturally, early at
tention has been given to the improve
ment of country roads. AS to the plans
and purposes of the clubs the journal
Bays:
The rural commercial clubs are not
renters of Populist discomfort and
the members do not meet to vail
over fancied wrongs. What they do
do is to project telephone lines, con-
slider matters of roads, encourage
farmers to add comforts to their
home surroundings and, In fact,
eliminate all those old elements of
loneliness and Encouragement that
made farming so hard score OF
years ago. One thing that is being ad-
vocated in the rural commercial cluos
is of far-reaching Importance: me
farmers are urged to clean up their
wards. beautify their homes and plant
flowers along the roads. They are al
so asked to give their farms suitable
names and to take greater pride IN
the family life generally. All OF when
goes to show that the Kansas farmer
is becoming as progressive and enter
prising as any other captain OF indus
try.
There is no reason in the world why
the rural commercial clubs should not
find a useful field of labor. Agrlcul-
tural communities have their problems
as well as the towns and cities. IN
these latter, wonderful results nave
been accomplished through the med
inn Of commercial clubs. 1t Is not
necessary to go farther than Ottumwa
4 ia find evidences that an organization
of citizens drawn together to push all
public questions, accomplishes tnlnss
that would be impossible without or
ganized effort.
The most important question atfect-
ing both urban and rural Iowa TO-DAY Is
The need of good roads. With com
merciaI clubs in the rural dlstrlcts
snch as are being organized IN Kan
sas. working in conjunction with the
rommercial bodies of the Iowa cities
and towns the solution OF THIS ques.i .,,l
would not long be hedged about WIN
such apparently insurmountable dI-
6culties as at present.
