has asked the board Of education to
provide every public school pupil with

10 consider the suggestion favorably.
Or Cronk reports that much of the Ill
health in children comes from unclean
teeth and that it is impossible to in
f1uce the parents of all the children to
adopt the sanitary tooth brush, there
fore it is best for the public school to
make clean teeth obligatory.

Al Rodie Surprised

Mrs. S. G. Thornton Of Dayton was
a visitor last Friday and reported MI.
Thornton's rheumatism giving way
to good treatment. Mrs. Thornton
confded a secret to the LEADER
which was locked up until after Sat-
urday. The secret "a a we'll ar
ranged plan to give Col. A. j. Bodie a
nice surprise in honor of his Fiftieth
birthday which took place last Satur-
day as arranged. Mr.. Bodie is super
intendent of the Dayton Hall Sab
bath school and enjoys the esteem OF
his neighbors to a high degree. The
Sabbath school members and other
friends decided that MI. Bodie should
be properly remembered when his
half century mark came around, and
the program was carried out to per-
lection. His friends presented him
with a very fine rocking chair and 1t
Is not too much to say that Mr.. Bodle
was the most thoroughly surprised
gentleman in Dayton township Satur-
day evening and he is worthy and de-
serving of the high esteem OF his old
friends. Such little events i'll ones
life are the bright spots that make
life worth living and it's a pretty
good life if we make the best Of it.

The sanitation

by proper sanitation. The SANITATION
on the farms in some sections or our
great country is simply aWful ana
should be intolerable for a day or
even an hour. In other sections
there is less than deserves criticism;
but we do not know of any sections
where the sanitation on the farms IS
as a rule what it should be.
An open privy is simply an aooml-
nation, a fruitful and u~nsuspected
cause of disease. Take for example,
typhoid fever, which is absolutely
pre yentable with ever ordinary care,
and yet which prevails to a greater
extent in the country than In the
city, and is due both In city ana
country to a polluted water supply.
The reason that it prevails in the city
at all is because of imperfect plumb
ing, or neglect to properly dispose or
sewage. The same is true IN many
sections of malaria, which Is carried
py flies, and which with proper drain
age and proper screening OF the
houses, and keeping the n out
of the barn yards could be eliminated
in a very few years. Again consum-
tion could be reduced to the mini
mum by so simple a matter as proper
ventilation of farm homes, and eS-
pecially of sleeping rooms.
These are some Of the questions
which we propose to discuss in the
future, always having in view the
betterment of life on the farms which
have honored us by inviting Wallaces'
Farmer to visit them each week dur
ing the year. We do not expect to
treat any Of these subjects exhaust
lively, but simply to make suggestions
that we are sure will each year be
worth many times the cost OF the
years subscription.

AN OLD Time WEDDING.
Justice Dick May Performed the
Ceremony in 1875 and MIR.
and Mrs. Durham Were
Witnesses.

Oliver N. Hannah of Neville, Iowa,
a nephew of Thomas, Robert and
Alexander Hannah Of this city, ar
rived here last week accompanied by
Mrs. Hannah. Mr.. Hannah left here
in 1876 after the grasshoppers had
cut, threshed and consumed his crops.
Mr.. Hannah called on the editor
last Saturday and we were discussing
early days and events when Mr.. W.
f. Durham called to renew his sub
scription. Mr.. Durham was intro
duced to the Iowa gentleman, and in
about three seconds they were talk
ing about a wedding, a blizzard, wit
nesses and then the editor found time
to catch on. Two old friends had
met for the first time since 1876, and
yet at nine O'Clock in the evening Of
December 3lst, 1875, Mr.. and Mrs.
Durham took the part of groomsman
and bridesmaid for Mr.. Hannah and
Miss Black when Justice May per-
formed the ceremony, and the we'd
ding cost Mr.. Hannah nothing as
Justice May promised to marry him
free of cost if he could secure Miss
Black as a bride any time during the
year 1875.
1t was on the last day Of the year
and only three hours to spare when
Mr.. Hannah and his charming bride
to be arrived at the home of Justice
May. Mr.. Hannah announced that
he and his lady love were ready for
that ceremony and Mr.. May said he
must have witnesses. A blizzard was
bowling wei the prairie on that par
ticular evening but a Dakota blizzard
never stopped a pioneer wedding.
Justice May took Mr.. Hannah's team
and drove over to the home of Mr..
and Mrs. w. F. Durham who were
delighted over the situation and only
too glad to help the Justice in his ef-
fort to make two hearts beat as one.
The ceremony was duly performed
and Mr.. Durham had the privilege of
kissing the bride, being best man and
a pioneer in the community.
MI. May had forgotten his promise
of a free wedding and suggested that
the usual fee would be quite sufficient
but Mr.. Hannah demurred to the
proposition, saying: Didn't you tell
me if 1 brought Miss Black to you as
a bride to be you would marry US for
nothing?" and the justice was up
against his own pledge.
1t was a happy event and enjoyed
by a large circle of friends who knew
that Justice May had been crowding
Oliver pretty hard and Oliver was
quite bashful in those dayS-he is not
so bashful now. Oliver made up his
mind that he would even up with the
justice and before the year had closed
he had won a charming sweetheart
and the Justice had to keep his prom
Use.
Mr.. Hannah and bride got dis
gusted with grasshoppers and moved

people will live and the productions
Of the great west will find the worlds
markets through natural ways pro-
vided by the creator and will no
longer at great waste OF the fuel
stock of the generations be dragged
over the Appalachian range. When
these great canals are dug and water
falls made, The wealth OF Iowa de-
| veloped, the center Of population and
the center of human activity will be
in the great state of Iowa, and the
money center of the nation will be at
DesMoines instead of New York.
That the culture of the nation will
naturally settle, where the greatest
activities of the people are and
Iowa's University will be as grand
and great as the state, and the great
men administering this University
will work on and on until every de-
mand of a mighty nation for the best
culture is met.
This nation of ours is a religious
nation. The steeples, the foreingers
Of the people, point ~heavenward from
every city, village and hamlet, calling
attention to the world that there
above dwells the Maker and Savior OF
men. at the present time numerous
sectarian colleges have been bullded
and their existence intensiies the de-
termination and conviction Of the
people that the religious element
shall not be overlooked In the forma-
tion and development Of the chafac-
ter of the youth of our colleges.
Our people are lovers Of education
TO such a degree that they cheerfully
pay taxes to support the greater uni
versity and also go down in their
pockets for additional money to sup
port the religious colleges, the exis-
tence of which is a determined notice
to the greater university that the re-
ligious element in education must
not be overlooked or neglected. I'm
der our form of government no eStab-
lishment of religion nor any sectarian
instruction is possible. Religion is
not sectariAnism, it is something that
is a part of the Caucasian race,
which since the time of Christ has
never adopted any religion as a people
other than the faith of the Nazarene,
and none other will ever find accep-
lance where the white face is dOmi-
nant. The men administering the
greater Universities recognized this
element and conviction in the nature
of the people and in some way and
some how they will work out the
problems that will convince the peo-
Pile that the moral and religious ele-
ment will not be forgotten or ne
elected, and that there Is the place
to finally finish the student for his
life work.
When all these thing are reached,
the head seat Of culture and civiliZa-
tion of our land will be in Iowa and
it's greater University will have
spelled down the older schools of the
east. Some of these things are booked
for the future, but he who lives in
the year 2OO9 will see my prophecy
fulfilled. ......

Broader Agricultural Questions.

WallaceS' FARMER a laDOreQ IN
cessantly for fifteen years to aid farm
ers in putting money in their purses
by improved methods Of cultivating
the land, including, of course, the
adoption of a system of rotation suit
ed to the farm and it's environment,
better tillage, and securing an i'm
proved class of live stock and giving
it improved care. 1t has also given
more attention than most agricultur-
al papers to the marketing of crops,
and with this end in view has taken
a very active part in discussing rail-
road rates, railroad service, insur-
ance, and matters of that kind 1t
proposes in the future to enlarge the
scope of it's Investigations.
The chief end Of the farmer is not
to raise bushels and tons Of grain and
live stock, nor does it include merely
converting these into dollars to the
best advantage. The education of his
children with a view to fitting them
for the business or profession for
which nature has evidently intended
them is a matter worthy the study of
every farm paper worthy of the name.
The man who makes a failure in the
proper education of his children will
find out at it's close that his life has
been a failure, no matter how much
land he owns nor how many thous-
ands he leaves them as an Inherit
ance. The man is more than the
farm, and his children are worth
more than the dollars he may leave.
If his children do not have proper
views of life, and have not developed
characters that fit them for good citi-
zenship, the dollars that he leaves
them as the result of all his planning
and toll will prove a curse rather
than a blessing.
Then there is another side to farm
life: The characters that the child
rem develop will depend very, much on
their social life, on their relations
with other young people, on their re-
lations to the church. 1t is not our
pEONlIlCC, uOI 10 ~ CAAC PAONIiASC 1 oily
farm paper, to discuss religious doc
trines, or, If you please. religious dog
mas. 1t is its province to discuss
ethics; what is right, what is wrong.
He has an interest, however, in the
social life of the community; and it is
to his interest that the churches, to
whatever denominations they belong,
use their influence to develop man
hood by an improved social life and
thus make the people with whom
they come IL contact better, what
ever may be their religious convic-
tions.
There Is another question to which
the agricultural press might we'll
turn its attention, and that is the
sanitation of the farm. We have
been deeply impressed in u recent
travels with the fact that a very con-
siderable per cent Of the diseases that
carry of thousands every year, and
bury in the earth untold millions of
money value In the shape of human
flesh, could be eliminated on the farm
