Topics of the Times

The peculiar thing is that when the
be ring in a hogs snout that some
Iowa newspapers should Immediately
begin to demand the practical repeal of
the law.
1t seems a little inconsistent to insist
that the barber shall use a clean towel
for every customer while the hotelman
saves laundry bills and scatters infec-
ton by means of the unspeakable roller
towel.
That was a pretty fair start for a
Greater Marshalltown.
1t appears that more football play
ers were killed and manned under the
debrutalized rules than in the good old
days when they fell on him for fair.

Down at Joplin the newspapers and

The president of the Gideons comes
to the defense of Billy Sunday with the
assertion that he thinks the press has

This is i'm line with lot of idle ant

than to make such assertions The
press, as the press, has not only beer

Taken by and large the newspaper

(which will do the boy the most good?
dollars that 1t costs to educate him
when he is 81, and let him carve out
his own life, or spend the money on
him, and give him that much of an
education?" Tt is choice that every
boy. whose parents can afford it,
should be given. To the parents the
cost is the same. 1t is a question OF
ambition. 1t is for him to choose.
There is another question that the
boy in town should stop to seriously
consider, and that is his obligation to
his parents. The country boy, ever
since he was 10 years old, has been in
a position to earn his way and more
too. He has been source of profit to
his parents. At 81 the parent is under
obligation to the son. In the town 1t Is
different. Few boys are in a position
to earn much, hardly enough to pay
their daily expenses even in 'ipin mon
ey." AT the age Of 81 he is under obi
cation to his parents. The work and
sacrifice they make for his future edu-
cation, is simply a work Of love. 1t Is
all sacrifice, and yet where is there a
parent who is not ready to even mort
gage the home, to give the boys the
best education that can be secured.
The mother would work at the wash
tub if necessary, to do her share. The
family will forego the pleasures of life,
to see their sons succeed.
Do you know what that boy ought
to do? He ought to take off his coat
and go to work for that education
with all his might. Every hour and ev-
cry minute should be put to account,
that something might come Of 1t. The
parents are always ready to do their
part. 1t simply remains for the son to
make good. Win he?

Outside Point of View

He was young minister. just from
college. and was married. He easily
obtained an appointment as pastor Of
a small country church. The town
where he located and preached had not
to exceed 200 population. Six hundred
dollars a year and a parsonage free was
all they could afford to pay" At least
it was a living for the young preacher
and his wife. But the church like
many others failed to pay the preacher
promptly. Soon he owed bills at the
stores. butcher shops, and for weeks
was literally without money. All this
injured his usefulness in the commun-
ity Finally he determined to find an
other location and to get out of town
actually had to give a lawyer his ac-
count to collect from the Church So
ciety. And the attorney found the
only way he could get the money was
to tell the trustees of the church that
he would sue and get out a judg-
ment.

THIS SEED CORN BUSINESS,

The seed corn business, the new
chapter of it, is of first Importance to
the whole state of Iowa, directly to the
farmers and indirectly to the rest of
us
When Professor Holden of Ames and
others first proclaimed the gospel of
better seed corn, an end to be attained
by intelligent selection careful preser-
walton and scientific testing. corn took
a bound and added impetus was given
to the upward trend of Iowa land VAL
ues. That gospel spread rapidly, was
accepted and acted upon. The farmers
are awake to the importance of good
seed corn.
So, now that a contingency like that
which has arisen confronts us, we are
at once awake 10 a realization of what
it means. John Cownie, than whom
there is no more progressive farmer or
one of better Judgment or more UNI
errng instinct in the whole state, says
that tests made by him prove conclu-
sively that the alarm over seed corn
not gathered before the hard freeze of
the first half of October is fully justi-
fed. Others had expressed the same
view 1t remained for Cownie to put
orally will be accepted. There will be
1 d hurryng and scurrying for new
seed. or at least to test the seed on
hand
/ Nothing could better illustrate the
I value of the work done by Professor
/ Holden and his co-laborers of a few
I years back. Prior to that work, such
report as the one Cowne now makes
would not have attracted wide atten-
ton and the planters would have gone
into the field the next spring With in
ferior seed, some hopeless of germina
ton and some with reduced vitality
Now. we are quick to see the point anC
will act upon it. The farmers of Iowa
many of them, altho they may have
had poor seed at the gathering, vii
make provision for good seed by plant
ing time. This is really the first grea
lesson since the new seed corn hool
. was opened.
Mr. Cownie adds a lesson for futur
years. He says: There is lesson t
be learned from this test and that j
that seed corn should be gathere'
. early, the last half of September bein'
the proper time in any and all sea
sons. Corn fully glazed, in fact, afte
lit has become too hard for roastin
. ears, is in the best condition for SEED
And not only corn. but all farm seed
have much more vitality when save
for seed before being fully ripe
1t is not every year that we have
hard freeze so early as it came thi
wear. but there is no year when tn
same thing may not happen, and tn
forehanded husbandman will get hi
seed in early hereafter.

THE BOY IN TOWN.
Manson .Journal1


The boy in town has just commenced
to secure an education that will event.
ually give him a profession, when his
brother on the farm has commenced
the active duties of life. Instead Of the
possibilities of life commencing at
d. he is just in the midst of his edu-
cation HeAis 81 years old in years, but
his life's duties must be delayed five or
six years more, in order to get ready
for business; thus your town son is a
boy at 81 while your neighbours boy on
the farm has matured. For the next
few years the struggles of the house
hold are to keep the boy in college
and give him a profession. He gains
five years in knowledge, while his
farmer brother gains five years in
wealth; you take the money that starts
the country boy in life to educate the
town son.
The question naturally arises

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

By local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased porlion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inf1amed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Eus- tachian Tube When this tube is in famed, you have a rumbling sound or imperfet hearing, and when it is en- tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's nor mal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused bv Catarrh, which is nothing but an in- famed condition of the mucous surfaces

Over rs Per Cent of the Children in

NEW YORK. August 24-That 2S
school children from 100 in the poor
tenement districts of the city are af-
fected with tuberculosis is indicated
by the observations made this summer
at the Sea Breeze Home maintained
at West Coney Island, by the associa-
ton for improving the conditions of
the poor All children admitted to the
home we're supposed to be we'll The
association says in a statement:
up to the middle of August 72S
children had received thorough physi-
cal examination and had been tested
for tuberculosis at Sea Breeze OF
this number 3S1 were boys and S47
girls OF the total number, subjected
to the test, 2O5 or 2S.1 per cent show
ed positive reaction. The per cent
of reaction among the girls tested
was 35.1 per cent as against 21.7 per
cent among the boys.
