10, THE POOR FARMER.


A story Of dire misfortune comes
from Jolley Nick Hammer. farmer
living north OF that town. has suffered
great loss and damage on account OF
his huge crop Of corn. Last spring he
planted some good seed on well tiled
ground and gave the crop the usual at
tention bestowed on such crops by
by careful farmers. After the crop was
laid by he paid no attention to 1t. but
went busily about his other work on
the farm. Recently, when he went to
husk the crop he found out that the
roots of the corn had grown so strong
and SO profusely that they had crushed
all the tile in the ground and rendered
1t worthless for draining purposes. Not
only that but the upheaval OF the
ground caused by the growing roots
had created hunmocks and gullies so
high and deep as to render it exceed
ingly dangerous to drive team thru
the field The ears average about four
pounds apiece irp weight and three hir-
ed men have already gone to the hos
pital with lame backs trying to heave
them into the wagons, while al the
cattle that have tried to masticpte the
huge ears have choked to death. The
only way left for Mr.. Hammer to har-
vest this crop seems to be to cord 1t up
like stove wood and wait until the
ground freezes to haul It in.

who seems to be seeking in small
way opportunity for loud objection
against the Z. NJ. c. "A. is right. The
equipment OF the Y vi. <. a. is ce--
tainly entitled to the same privileges
as the equipment OF the commercial
club or of any other.
Moreover the Republican is out of
character as a Standpat organ When
it comnends the installation of bill
lard tables in the Y. NJ. c. a. To in
stall such equipment is along sensible
lines. Parlor croQuet and Switchboard
are not as good games as billia rds.
They DO not attract and hold like the
billiard game does. Let the daE hasten
in which the Y. NJ. c. A. and other re-
ligious organizations shall deny the
billiard hall its assumed right TO
tractive of indoor non athletic games.
Heretofore the pool rooms have had
the best Of it. They have been better
lighted, open earlier and better equip
ped than the Y. NJ. c. A. to attract the
very youths who most need decent
company and the influences which
make toward the higher citizenship. To
many a good old father in Israel today
billiards is word abhorrent-but his
boys slip into the pool hall for a game
and slip out again They are not bad
boys but pretty good ones as boys go.
SO are a great many boys who haunt
the pool halls, often against the wish
OF the proprietors Of the places. They
meet much there they were better to
avoid. If a good clean game which at
tracts and holds men and boys is a
profitable thing for the pool hall it is
equally good for the Y. NJ. C. a. If it
draws boys away from the "Y" it will
draw them toward it. If it holds young
men in the pool hall II will hold them
ton and affords companionship there
it will do the same thing here.
The Z NJ c. A. is pushing things.
stepping up to the times, recognizing
its opportunities when it refuses to
abandon billiards to the pool halls and
the saloons. 1t is taking arms away
from the enemy.

DRINKS AND DECENT PASSENGERS.

The appellate court of New YORK mas
decided case of appeal from the lower
court wherein the lower court held that
a railway passenger who had been
beaten and severely injured by
drunken brute in a railway car had
been guilty Of "con tr1butory negli-
gence' in appealing to the conductor to
the court said enraged the drunk to
violence and constituted 'contributory
negligence" The appellate court re-
versed the decision and decided that
the railroad company is liable for dam
ages; that it Is its business to protect
passengers, to put aggressive and quar-
relsome drunkards off the trains and to
prevent abuse and scandal.
In Iowa the law especially makes 1t
the duty Of trainn1en to eject drunkards
and foul mouthed and obscene agrees
sors; but when a trainman does his
duty IN this respect it is considered a
news item worth a three line head.
Once in a while real man looks after
his train as a good landlord would look
after his hotel. When drunkard or a
drunken gang gets on he sees that they
are quiet or puts them off at the first
station. But he is the exception.
Passengers on railway trains and
street cars or in any other public con-
veyance pay for protection from an
noyance and insult as we'll as for trans
portation. They have the right to de-
mand 1t from the official or employe in
charge and from the transportation
company. But it is frequent occur
renee to see a drunken gang, full of
arewater and fight wrangle thru the
cars terrorizing women and bullying
men unnoticed by train1nen except on
demand Of passengers and to see train
men persuade and coax where they are
empowered to command. This has
been especially true OF the drunken
gangs who go south out of Marshall
town and north out Of Oskaloosa or

In Brazil the man behind the gun

Perhaps the falling off in the pro-

may be attributed to the emigration
movement out OF Iowa. A standpatter
never moves.
The wage worker is disinclined to

wants to see it drop before he consid-

Now that Senator Young is up in
his airship he feels as tho he never
wanted to alight again.
Somebody suggested Millionaire

put his foot on the suggestion and
changed the combination on the safe.

It is not hard to find the cause Of

wood taken from the first school house
built in Des Noines township. Dallas
county, Iowa. 1t is located less than a
mile south OF the site Of the old town
of Xenia and about two miles south
east Of Woodward
The house was built in 1854 on the
farm of Juduphan Waldo. then called
Waldo's Point. The farm IL now owned
by man named Green. The house was
built with logs and most Of them are
yet sound, and the roof placed on 1t

This pioneer school house is no longer
used for its original purpose, but is
now used for an implement storage on
the farm where it was built. The flrst
