The loss to the cattle raising inter-
ests Of the country from tick fever Is
placed at $40,000,O00, the malady be-
Ing confined to a few southern states
and being directly due to little blood
sucking tick about an eighth Of an
Inch long which in the process Of ex-
tracing the blood of the animal at

TEN a virulent microbe which feeds
upon the red blood cells and destroys
them, thus producing the disease
known as tick fever. The federal au-
thorities are doing all In their power
to reduce the losses from the disease,

Gated If the tick causing 1t can be de-
stroyed, and 1t il this phase OF the

Some of the republican

Some of the republican leaders
are having a pow-wow this afternoon,
the object of which is said to be to
discourage independent voting in the
election of county officers. 1t was
arranged SO that Congressman Pickett
could attend and lecture the faithful
on the subject.
While the object OF the meeting APP
pears on its face to be for the gen.
eral welfare Of the people it is we'll
to remember that the secretary of
the republican county committee, who
is running the committee this year,
has held the office Of superintend-
ent of schools for seven years and is
asking for another term. He thinks
the boys should vote the straight tick
ct and if the lining up process is sue
cessful no one will profit by it more
this year than he.
1t will be a difficult job for the
leaders to tell the people how they
should vote in county politics. The
average man knows as much about
the candidates as the leaders, and
will doubtless exercise his right tc
vote as he pleases, regardless of to-
days school of instruction.

WHY IOWA LAND VALUES ARE
INCREASING.

Most all Iowa land is good corn
land, or can be made good corn land
by suitable drainage. Corn is the
basis of the dairy and live stock in
dustries, and land in the corn belt
of the Mississippi valley, under pres
ent conditions, will not increase be-
yond its reasonable value until it
passes the 5000 per acre mark. OF
course If the schemers should sue
coed in the establishment of a great
central bank that would have the pow
er to contract the countrys money
supply there would be no telling what
might happen to land values.
But this corn belt in which we
live must ever be a favored agricul-
tural region. To the westward the
elevation of the country and lack of
rainfall prevent successful corn cul-
ture. To the north it is too cold,
ana % the south too warm. Climatic
conditions will ever prevent, any
great enlargement of the corn belt,
and good land well within its limits,
is not yet selling for its full value.

HENRY WALLACE is RIGHT.


Henry Wallace, the editor of Wal
lace's Farmer, and one of the best
thinkers and writer's in the state,
explains why prices are high in the
following paragraph, which is true
as gospel:
Prices are high because of the de-
crease the world over in the purchas-
ing power of the dollar, due to the
increase in the output of the mater
ials out of which dollars are made
This increase has not been uniform,
but it has measurably Affected all civ.
ilized countries and is manifest in the
rise of the prices of commodities and
wages. This is no new thing. 1t has
happened at different periods in the
worlds history. The decrease in
the value of the dollar, that is, its
purchasing power, will continue un
til there is a decrease in the produc
ton of gold and silver. The cheap
er the dollar the more of them il
takes to conduct business.
A child ten years of age should be
able to fully understand the quaint
tive theory of money; yet, notwith
standing the simple truth of the
theory. as stated by Mr. Wallace
Mark Hanna and Grover Cleveland
won a. great political campaign ii
1896 by strenuously denying that tn,
quantity of money in the country al
fectea the prices of commodities.

THEY TUMBLE SLOW.

Referring to Mr.. Roosevelts present
political activity the following item
from the Chicago Tribune shows how
little the average fastener knows of
the western mind or is able to Judge
political conditions west of the Allie
cheney mountains.
Zone incident of the day disclosed
that the president is watching the
movements sof the progressive Repub-
Leans intently. Mr.. Norton received
and perused voluminous mass of
clippings from Iowa newspapers COM
menting upon the platform turned out
by the New York Republican conven-
ton.
Most of the papers condemned
the tariff plank and many of the pro-
gressive organs denounced Col. Roose
welt as responsible for this white,
wash of the Aldrich law. The con.
c,usion is that the tariff nerve still is
sensitive in Iowa and that Roosevelt
has contrived to touch it on the raw

Iowa should be represented in the

of such Importance to the people that
we should all join in requesting His
Excellency, Governor Carroll, to fol-
low the precedent established at the
time of the death of Senator Allison
under conditions very similar to the
present. The cost need be but slight

gladly bear it as they did in the for

lite action on this at once so that the

1t is the policy of the republican
majority in Congress to expend about
$1S,O0O,OOO annually in building new
battleships. This enormous sum OF
money would erect, equip and main

HOBBY RIDERS DO GOOD.

They Help 10 Educate the World
and Bring About Reforms.
More power to the man who has a
hobby He may often be looked upon
as a nuisance, but when we dissect him
we find that in his makeup there IS
much more to praise than to criticise,
although it is easy enough to ridicule
the hobby rider. He is seriously en-
thusiastic and intent on a single pur-
pose. He does not waste his ammuni-
tlon. This single-mindedness of pur-
pose, which lays him liable TO scorn,
Is the essential cause of progress.
Pioneers are essential in any line
Of endeavor, the Washington Herald
says. Unless they had a hobby they
would follow the beaten path or the
line of least resistance and the result
would be that the world would not
have taken a forward step. All hob
bies are not useful or economic, but
it Is for men of sober mind, who are
too matter-of-fact to have hobbies
themselves, to distinguish between
those which are beneficial and those
which are extravagant and foolish.
Practically all great thinkers, and
certainly all great inventors, were
hobby riders. Columbus had a hobby,
that Of getting to the orient by a west
ward route. Ambition was Napoleon's
hobby if such a condition of mind
can be classified. Every great relig.
ious teacher rode his hobby John
Brown had a hobby, and the abolition
of slavery was in great part due to
the propaganda which made him
martyr. Cyrus w. Field laid the first
cable after he was believed insane.
There are a few men versatile
enough to have several hobbies Col
Roosevelt can be classed among these.
When a man of unlimited enthusiasm
turns his attention to some matter Of
general Importance and forces the re
mainder Of the world to take sides
on that question, he has set others to
thinking and has been a benefactor to
mankind. We need not agree with
the rider Of the hobby. Suffice 1t If he
has compelled us to give it thought
He has helped educate the world. That
is what the hobby rider strives to do.
He Is frequently a missionary in dis
guise.

nIrd,s Fondness Tor Tobacco.

A correspondent states that he pos
sesses a tame magpie, to which he
sportively offered an extinguished ci-
gar stump, says the Kosmos. The bird
began to tear the stump apart, but ap-
parently changing its mind proceeded
to rub the stump held in its beak over
every part Of its body, including the
inside of the wings, in a very careful
and methodical manner The expert
ment was subsequently repeated many
times, always with the same result.
The magpie is so fond of tobacco
that it has repeatedly snatched'a a light
ed cigar from his hand against his
will. 1t also picks up fallen cigar
ashes and strews them over its feath-
ers. He thinks these actions have a
purpose, the destruction of parasites,
and are determined by atavism or in
herited instinct. In the wild state
some unidentified plant must have been
used instead of tobacco as an insecti-
eide. The magpies action Furthermore

Experiment shows that the most eco
nomic potato seed is made by cutting
a medium-slzed tuber into quarters.
It also shows that larger pieces Of
seed potatoes will produce a very much
heavier yield, as the young plant has
more nourishment to begin with; un-
der field conditions, however, the me.
dium-sized tuher cut in quarters Is
the best and most economical. II this
can not be done, spread the seed out
in a thin layer in a cool, dark place,
and they may be used at any time
within ten days after cutting without
appreciable loss. Never sack or bar
