More and more every day do we
realize the necessity for business
methods and common sense in the adj
ministratfon Of our government affairs
at Washington, and more and more
do we realize every year that We will
never get it. There is not a business
man in the country that would tolerate
for one minute in his own business
some of the moves that are made al
Washington, and yet IL successful
business man is sent to Washington he
seems to pass thru some transforma-
tion and takes particular delight In do
ing the very things he looked upon as
foolish.
For instance. after the old special
delivery stamp. blue in color and show
ing messenger boy mounted on a
bicycle, had been used with great sue
cess and no complaint for twenty years
an officer in the postmaster generals
office who was a good business man a,

the complicated machine of legal pro-
cedure which grinds fine or small as
those who engineer it desire.
Morse is out of jail. Perhaps few
optimistic persons have faith to believe
that he will be sent back to finish his
term. but the opsimist always finds
reason to hope that the unlikely will
come to pass. But no one predicts that

to the city TO smash another window

the jeweler the value of the diamonds
that resulted from the first raid.

AN OLD SETTLER.
Honda Journal.l

Forty years ago last Saturday,
George Sanborn arrived in the wilder
ness of what is now one of the best
agricultural counties of the world,
making the trip from Wisconsin over
land with an OK team. There was not
a house to be seen in the place where
Fonda now stands, in fact the present
town site was then big slough and
ducks could be seen swimming around
where the Adams Hardware Company
store now stands. There is not another
single man living here who was here
when he came, the Garlock family
east Of town being the only family
that was here at the time. He left
Wisconsin the fifth day of May, 1859,
and was just a month TO the day on
the road. What a change Mr.. San
born has witnessed in these forty
years! The vast expanse of wildness
has been transformed into productive
farms and the then swamp where
Fonda now stands has been converted
| into a beautiful little city.

Justice Of his punishment. He will stay
until his term expires or until he is

commercial briquets from low-grade

Purchase Exposition in 1904 by the
United States Geological Survey, We're
continued in 1907 and 1905 at Norfolk,
Va, the surveys fuel-testing plant
having been removed to that place.
Two briquetting machines were in
stalled at the Norfolk plant-one of
English and one of American make.
The briquets made at this plant were
tested on locomotives of several rail-
ways entering Norfolk and on the
United States torpedo boat Biddle, in
comparison with the run-of- mine coal
USED in making them. These tests were
described in bulletin S6s of the geo'og-
zeal survey, and a detailed account of
ten by c. L. Wright. has now been pub

Why So MANY Pansioners2

The Philadelphia Inquirer has been
looking into the ages of those who en-
listed in the union army and finds
some facts which are surprising Many
persons wonder that there are almost
half million surviving soldiers of
the civil war, considering that it is
forty-eight years since 1t began and
forty-four since it ended. The reason
lies in the fact that it was a young
mans war, as the following official
statistics as to the age of men as
they enlisted will show:
AT the age of 10 and under, 25.
At the age of IL and Under, 225.
At the age of IA and under, 1923.
At the age of is and under, s44,s01
At the age Of IS and under, 1,151,43s.
! At the age of 81 and under, 2,159,79s.
Twenty-Five years Of age and over,
s1s,516.
These figures include re-enlist-
ments. of which there were almost
two millions, but it can easily be seen
that only small percentage were
twenty-five years and over, and these
must, to large extent, have enlisted
previously. 1t is estimated that If
the year 1853 be taken as starting
point, since it was the middle OF the
war, the average age of the soldier
was about % years, which would make
him 60 at the present. That is a fair
age. but not old by any means, and
/ it ought to be remembered that those
who served thru a campaign and came
out fit showed virility which indicated
promise Of living beyond the normal.

THE CENTURY.
Manson Journal

Nothing more clearly illustrates
the perfection of the long distance
work of the Central Telephone Com
pany of Calhoun county, than a little
incident that happened sometime last
winter. Professor Holdoegers little
daughter was in the hospital at Des
Moines. Her mother was with her
most of the time but one day went
down town for something, and the
child became fretful and cried con-
stantly. Mr.. Holdoegel was in his
office at Rockwell City. and about
this time called up the hospital; the
phone was in the ward where the
child was confined, and she readily
recognized her fathers voice. Mr.
Holdoegel talked to the child for a
few minutes. and at distance of
100 miles. quieted her, and so after
the little one realized that someone
was near. altho far away, she Went
quietly to sleep. Two thousand
years ago, such thing would have
been considered miracle. The long
distance phonessrare now performing
| miracles every day.

and now dispatch says the stamp has
caused endless complaints because it
is similar in design and color to the one
cent stamp, and the department has
very wisely called in the new issue and
returned to the old.
Then again, we had IS, $40 and $40
gold pieces that were works of art, and
not only the best money but the
prettiest money in the world, but all
of a sudden a Washington official who
had been a good business man at home
but turned fool when he went to the
national capital, decided we needed a
new design, and Augustus st. Gaudens
was paid $4,000 for making a design
we did not need and no one wanted.
The old gold pieces were faultless but
the new would not pile up without fall
ing over and there were complaints
without number so that the issue was
finally stopped.
If the fool killer went to Washington
he would reap a rich harvest.

Then they went to restaurant, now

tin 1t seems to be case OF the more
the merrier. Have each compartment
about seven inches from front to rear,
at least six inches high and i've inches
In width. The entrance hole, prefer
ably, should be made midway between
the top and bottom OF the front, and 1t
should be about the size OF q silver

Persons who have yard room and
some shrubbery can get the wren and
the bluebird as neighbors II they Will
make a little preparation for them.
The wren will nest In almost any kind
Of box, but of course he likes to have
things we'll arranged. A small keg
such as anchovies are sometimes
packed in makes a good wren home. A
wren is mite of creature, but he
likes considerable room, and his apart
ment should be slightly larger than
that provided for the martin. Do not
expect, however, two pairs Of wrens
to live in the same box, even though
1t be divided into compartments. They
won't, or if they do they'll be so busy
lighting that they'll forget to lay eggs.
Make the entrance hole into the
wren home midway between the top
and bottom Of one end Of the box or
keg. Make it exactly the size Of a
silver quarter. II you do this the wren
is safe from the attacks Of the blue
bird and English sparrow.
It is nothing short of cruelty per-
haps to give the wren too big a box
for his home.
The bird doesn't need 1t, and the
perch affords resting place for the
English sparrow, who can get his head
through the entrance and do some mis-
chief, even though his body is too big
to follow. If you don't like music, in
cessant music, don't invite the wren
to be a neighbor. He will sing from

THE WRECKED STEAMER
[Clear Lake Mirror

lSledr Lake Mirror.
Lying on the camp ground shore is
the dismantled and crumbled body of
the good old steamer Franklin that has
served the pleasure seekers of Clear
Lake for thirty one years. In 1878 Sid
Green bought the boat from Waterloo
parties who We're using her in the ex..
cursion business on the Cedar river
above the dam, where she had been for
five years. The Franklin was built in
Chicago and was in the fishing trade on
Lake Michigan for several years before
the Waterloo parties bought her. 1t is
not far amiss to guess her age at forty
years. The engine with which she was
originally equipped is still aboard the
derelict and is considered by boatmen
to be the most powerful engine in these
waters altho 1t is but 25-horse with
two cylinders. Lake loafers will miss
the Franklin more than any other craft
that ever foated here. She was the
largest and in her day the best boat on
the lake. Peace to her rotten ribs and
dodgast her keel-hauled old quarter
