DAIRYIkG IN IOWA,

Iowa sold in creamery butter alone
s25 100000 last year The estimate os
dairy products for the year is doubled
upon the creamery returns and the to-
tai amount of money that Iowa farm
ers and dairymen received for butter
and milk is thus estimated at the enor-
nous sum of $4,000 900 Imagine what
fifty millions of dollars mean 10 a
population of about two millions
And yet dairying in Iowa is only
perfunctory We have not as yet gone
into the dairy business. The Iowa
farmer is disinclined toward keeping
cows for milk and butter. He keeps
them to raise calves and feeds the
calves for fat cattle, and the slaugh
tering markets. Dairying is incidental
in Iowa. When it gets TO be the main
business of large sections Of the state
as it is of Illinois and Wisconsin, then
we shall see totals that will amaze by
the magnitude of their figures.
We milk cows if we care to in this
state. If the creamery price does not
suit US or for some reason we are dis
satisfied we can always feed the milk
TO the pigs and we do it when for one
: reason or another we get angry with
I the creamery. We milk from six to
ten cows hurriedly and despise the
/
'chore." But when we figure it up at
the end of the season we find that the
cows and the hens have paid the gro
Gerry bills, and given the surplus that
went into the new carpet, furnished
the spare bedroom and bought a mum
Der of other things. The COW is the
most profitable property of the farm.
She will raise any mortgage if she is
handled right.
1t is easier and more profitable tn
handle two dozen cows than two cows
A Marshalltown resident who works
for wages, for a couple of years kept
two good cows and sold the milk Ir

ty into one of the contest and neates

If two COWS will do all this on fee6
bought in small quantities, what viii
two dozen DO fer the man who raise;
his own feed has pasture at say
four dollar an acre rent instead Of two
dollars month per head, and wht

The Iowa farmer is neglecting hi,

IOWA OPINIONS and RoTEs.

The Creston Advertiser saws: MANY
newspapers and politicians turnout the
state are worried about the Eighth dis
trict. Their worry is needless. Our
prediction is that the republicans of the
Eighth district will set a good example,
that there will be a strenuous but not a
bitter contest for the nomination and
that after the primaries the party will
be in excellent shape for great repub-
lican victory in November, no matter
who the nominee may be. Those who
are figuring that there will be an
acrimonious ante-primary fight which
will make it difficult or Impossible to
elect the winner in November will be
disappointed. The next representative
from the Eighth district Of Iowa will be
a republican,"
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1909-11-10

writes in the Nashville Christian Ad-
vocate, "the protestant membership of
the city has actually diminished rather
than increased" He continues:
"The last religious census of the city
was taken in 1890. when the population
was less than 100000. It was then
found that there were 1902 members
Of the evangelical churches. This show
ing was bad enough. but not so alarm
ing as present conditions.
'In 1908 the population of the city
was estimated at 100000. The year.
books OF the evangelical churches of
the same year show membership as fol-
lows: Presbyterians. 200; Methodist
Episcopal, 2,679; Congregationalisss, L.
96S; Baptists, 1,010; Christians, 1858;
Methodist Episcopal church. South,
122 If to these we add 500 for the
smaller churches that issue no year
book, we have total Of 9,747 members
of the evangelical churches in an
American city of 100000 people, not
quite one in forty.
IF the decrease in other churches
during the last year has correspondent
to our own, and there is no reason to
think it has not, then we may subtract
at least 90 per cent fro mthis number;
and if nothing is done to check the
present falling Off, protestant christ
ianity will be only pathetic memory
in less than two decades. Take, for
example, the Methodist Episcopal
church. A few years ago they had a
membership of $500. A prominent
member of that church told me recent
ly that they would barely show 1920 in
all their eighteen churches at the COM
ing conference. The same gentleman
told me there were 1900 saloons in the
city. Allowing two and one-half men
for each saloon, you have more than
two bartenders in San Francisco for
every Methodist"
Now let the reader of the above
bring to mind the present condition of
public morals in this same city of San
Francisco. Think over the Doodle ex-
posures during the past three years.
Call to mind the outrageous misappli-
cation of relief funds sent to earth
quake sufferers by charitable world.
Remember the failure to punish the
grating members of the city govern
ment. Worse than all was the candi-
dacy for office of an exposed boss
whose ill-gotten gains came directly
from protection given houses of ILL
fame and gambling hells Knowing all
this, such a candidate had thousands
of supporters and votes.
Following this line of thought lit
tie further, and one sees other cities in
California on the Pacific coast now
strong rivals of San Francisco, not
only in population but business enter
prise. To be sure San Francisco re-
ceived body blow from earthquake
and fire, but its future was injured
more by its citizens lack of ethics, both
moral and religious, than by 'the in
scrutuable acts Of Providence" II
proves nothing, that the other cities,
such stormy rivals of San Francisco
today, are far from being models OF
the best citizenship. The fact stands
out San Francisco is VIGOROUSLY nom
religious. The other fact is that with
no particular local advantages other
cities on the western coast are rap
idly gaining on and forging ahead OF
San Francisco. Why?

The March of the Much Beloved.

The March of the Much Beloved.
The bugle sounds and the troops fall in
and the regiments pass by.
The little. lightheart soldier lad, the lass
with cleaning eye:
In nightgowns white, with bare pink
toes and lips of love-in- spring.
Around the room and thru the hall they
move with arms a-swing:
The march of the much beloved,
To bedtime lands of dream.
When in the wide and starry skies
The silver peoples gleam
Let Us Pretend and Make Believe and
Little Dinpled Chin.
Away they go at evenglow to trumpet
notes of tin.
To drumbeat of the heart of joy and
banners of the blue
That wave above the little ranks Of
tender heart and true:
The march of the much beloved,
To bedtime's dreamy air.
Away they pass. sweet lad and lass,
And baby Golden Hair.
All day they play with spirits gay, and
lamplight hour is sweet
For story book and fairy tale and rest
of little feet.
Till bugles blow and off they go, tours
front or single fled
The blithe battalions of the hearth, the
army of the >child:
The march of the much beloved,
To lands of sleepy-head.
Thru holt and hall a bedtime call
All merrilly they tread
white-robed and phantom frail as
blooms in gardens of delight,
My brave brigades are moving by on
marches of the night;
Sans sword or spear or bayonet, 0
soldiers of my love,
That move to chambers of sweet sleep
and tents of dream and dove:
The march of the much beloved.
To daughters lure they swing.
Dear regiments with arms of rose
Beneath the flags of spring.
Around the tables and the chairs to
drum beat of the heart
Good might. goodnight We sweet bril-
gades!
In genteness We part.
TIN from your camps upon the hills
the morning bids you rise
And mothers kiss unseals the dreams
that fold your little eyes:
The march of the much beloved,
All come thruu al the years.
Around the room on feet of bloom
Just as you are. my dears.

Outside Point of VIEW

Fair minded persons must admit that
what We term religion has an apprec-
able effect on the morals of any COM
munity. las hearltless and soulless as
/ explorations are supposed to be, yet they
recognize this statement as a true one.
For before the days of interstate CON-
misiopers and laws, it was the common
practice of railroad companies to ship
materials for the church in the new
town, either free or at greatly reduced
rates. And the half fare rate, given
preachers had its origin, not as char
fty- but as A business proposition that
paid in practical results. Railroad Of
ficials perhaps majority of then~n-
church members knew that churches
and preachers in the new town made
life and property safer. They knew
that these mentioned factors added to
the ultimate prosperity of the new
town. All this can and must be adj
mited by any unprejudiced observer.

TIE PRICE OF THE BISCUIT
Is CHASING AIRSHIPS.
Americas Consumers of Biscuit Up
Against 1t.

With rise of dollar a barrel in
-four during the last month, it looks
like consumers will have to pay more
for bread than ever unless something
happens to stop the skyward career of
-four There is one consoling ray, if
one wants to take the alternative and
eat cornbread.
This section of the state, and other
states, report a bumper crop of corn,
and prices of this staple ought to go
down while flour is making its upward
climb.
The rise in wheat puts Amoricus
consumers-those afraid of cornbread
up against it real hard
Flour is now selling at from $6.75
to 81 barrel, big difference from
ten years ago.
Then it could be bought for $3.50 a
barrel, which price was not thought
too low by those who had to foot the
bills in those days. 1t will be seen
that the biscuits mother used to
make" did not cost so much as the
ones we get today.
The September squeeze which sent
prices skyrocketing in the wheat mar
ket did not seem to affect the prices
when people wanted to buy real wheat.
But there has been a steady increase
in prices for the real article, and
bread is due to go higher as result.
Right here it may be said that bread
has already gone higher.
Some of the bakers reduced the size
of their loaves last July when prices
took an upward tendency, and forgot
to increase the size when prices
dropped again.
