In apple pie order as far as the Repub-
lican part is concerned. There are
a lot of Republicans VINO say they
will never vote for him but we know
better. Most of them will vote for
him, both at the primary and at the
polls We doubt if he can anyways
near be beaten at the primary, even.
Now, If there is anything whatever in
the progressive fight among the Repub-
licans we can beat him at the polls
with Democrat but no progressive
Republican can lick one side of Ken

that settles it. And furthermore. the
progressives are losing strength by
the fight such papers as the Chicago
Tribune are putting up. They overdo
it and the Republicans will become

Tribune's political influence doesn't
amount to a hill of beans. Its opposi-
ton to Cannon will strengthen him
and thus make Kennedy invnlnerable

A Little Advertisement.

/ Davenport Times Much of the
success of advertising depends upon
the way it is worded, granted, of
course, that in the comparison Of two
advertisements both are given the
same circulation. The man who want
ed a girl for general homework rush
ed into a newspaper Office and wrote
the following
Wanted Girl for general house
work. Apply xYZ, care the Blank.
He received only one reply and
made up his mind that advertising
was no good The newspaper man
said to him, Perhaps the fault was
in your copy Then the newspaper
man asked the business man a few
questions:
How many in your family?.
Two
Comfortable room for the grip
Why, of course. 1t is large and
sunny just as coed a room as we
occupy ourselves"
Pardon my inquisitiveness, said
the newspaper man, but do you ex-
pect the girl to d : the washing?n
NO we have that done OUT
We'll, let me write an advertise
ment for you.''
Go ahead"
The newspaper man then inserted
this want ad:
Wanted Neat appearing maid In
family of two. Large sunny south
room. No washing. Address XYZ,
care the Blank"
The business man received twenty
seven answers to that advertisement.
There was an air of refinement, self
respect, and prospect of fair treat
ment in that little advertisement that
commanded the attention of thu girls
seeking places of employment. Brew
ity may be the soul of wit, but brew
ity in an advertisement coupled with
bluntness and disregard for the
other persons point Of view does not
often get results.

cerned. The only way to beat him
is to elect Democrat.

Woman.
Her pictures on the cover OF tho
monthly magazine;
Look wherever you may care to and
she dominates the scene;
In the columns of the papers she is
ever prominent,
And she's teasing man to let her
help to run the government.
She is keeping judges busy: in her
service all enlist;
Ills for her accommodation that de-
partment stores exist;
She harangues us from the pulpit
and she dazzles on the stage;
With the hair and hats she's wear
Ing she's the wonder OF the age.
She is busy regulating this and that
and here and there;
She insists on bearing burdens that
her brothers used to bear;
She is furnishing sensations; with
her voice and with her pen
She is proving that she clearly has
the right to vie with men.
She is bound to be leader; she IN.
sists on being seen;
She is alpha and omega, and and
all between;
But she has not yet consented to look
down with kindly eyes.
On her sister who has stumbled and
is eager to arise.

Crop reporters throughout the state
continue to send to DR.. Chapel. head
of the Iowa weather and crop service,
the most discouraging reports on the
condition of the 1909 corn crop as far
as seeding quality is concerned. The
percentage of worthless germs is
greater than at first supposed, and
in the southern and central portions
of the state the farmers will be run
ming a great risk if they attempt to
make the 1910 yield a success by using
seed from the 1909 crop.

PROFITS ON HleH-pRlcEp LANE

PROFITS ON HlGH-PRlcED LAND.
Can farm land worth $3.50 and 5000
an acre be made to pay satisfactory
profit to the owner? The experience
of Mr.. r. o. Brawner who lives near
Delavan. H., warrants answer In the
affirmative. Mr.. Drawer is regu-
lar farmea. and cattle feeder. On
October ~, this year, he sold a car
load of two-year-old branded Montana
bred Angus steers on the Chicago
market. The animals averaged 1901
pounds and brought SO per hundred
pounds, or $4,000 each, which is the
highest price ever paid in the regular
market for branded range cattle. They
dressed 62.2 per cent of live weight
A bulletin issued by the Union stock
yards in Chicago quotes Mr.. Brawner
as saying of the methods pursued:

Chicago market one year ago yester-
day as year,ings averaging 730 lbs. at

The Canadian government has
promised the people of that country to
spend s1O000o,ooo in making water
way twenty-five feet deep from the
northwest angle of Lake Huron across
to the Ottawa river and down to the
wharves to Montreal at tidewater
When this great undertaking is COM
pieted Canada will have passage
ample for any lake vessel from tho
lakes to the ocean. Canadian vessels
will then be able to get their cargoes
to the ocean without unloading and at
saving equivalent to $500 miles of
s.eaming before they reach salt water.
1t is easy to foresee that Canada will
then command the commerce Of the
Great Lakes.

Apples Profitable Crop.

Fairfield Ledger: The Keosauqua
Republican thinks there never has
been year when the farmers of
Van Buren, county have suid and
shipped apples by the car load as in
1909. And they have found this fruit
a profitable crop, too The same
thing can be said Of many other coun-
ties In southern Iowa. An apple
orchard properly managed is a great
revenue producer, and there Is
ready market for all the good apples
which Iowa farmers can grow,
