Prepare for Spring.

We do lot know whether
spriug will be early or late this
year. Some farmers tell us that
inasmuch as we have had a Sc
we're winter, we are entitled" to
an early spring. Without taxi
ing up the question of whether
we are really entitled to anything
or not it does not follow that be-
cause the winter has been Sc
we're, the spring will be any
earlier than usual. The severest
winter we ever knew, that of
1881, was followed by late
spring and a poor crop. the
ground being in bad physical
condition. We have known other
winters of more than ordinary
severity, when spring came
earlier than usual and many
farmers sowed spring wheat in
southern Iowa in the last week
iu February. We have often
known 1t to be sowu the hrst and
second week in March, and tIen
again not till April. Spring
does not send out signs of Its
coming a mouth or two ahead.
All that we can do IS to get
things ready and thus be able 10
get the seed in the ground as
soon as the season permits.
There will be an unusual
amount of spring work to do this
year. In many sections of our
territory, from oue-tourth to one
half of the corn is still in the
fields and must be husked, much
of il after the frost goes out OF
the ground, when husklng will
be burden. There will be an
unusual amount OF manure &c
haul out this spring. The sea-
sou has not been favorable fol
winter spreading. Then there
will he the usual work of get
ting the tools IN order, getting
the horses Injured to hard work
by proper feeding and by judi
cious working, so as to tougher
their shoulders and fit them toi
the rush of work that ALWAYS
comes. The point we emphasize
is that we should begin now te
pet ready for it.
A good big crop next year will
tend to allay the present dlscon'
tent and disposition to criticise
the farmer for high prices. lr
any event, prices for all farm
products will be high. Given a
favorable season, that IS, a sol
in the proper physical condition
in the spriug by the going out o
the frost, the proper amount o
sunshine and rainfall, there
should be bumper crop mex
wear some things, however
are a @ gainst it. One is the condi
tion of the seed corn, which rem
ders perfect stand almost i'm
! possible. Another is the lack o
frost so tar over a large portion

SUDDEN DEATH.
Calls Upon One Of the County's True
and Loyal Citizens.

dHu LOydi NitiLeUS
News of the sudden death of
Mattew Crawford of Comstock
was received here Feb. Is.
He was well known pioneer
of this county and had lived here
for % years, and was success
full farmer and a man respected
and held in high esteem by all
who knew him. He was always
ready and willing with helpful
hand in assisting those who were
in need of help and many a sack
of -four has found its way to a
needy neighbor through him.
He leaves a wife, two sons,
Fred, who lives on his fathers
homestead, and Everal, who is
in bank at Comstock, daugh-

relatives in the east and a large
circle of friends and neighbors
who will feel his loss very keenly.
His funeral was was preached

Some Political Gleanings.

William Jennings bryan dp-
parently has not been able to get
his miud cleared of all of its
follicies even though it seems to
have seen new light of the
liquor question.
In strictly political matters he
seems to be as much off as he
was when he was making his
presidential campaign on the
"16 to l" theory. His advice to
to the democrat members of con-
gress and the democrat news
papers of the country to make
the congressional campaign on
fake accusations rather than
facts will never give his party
the majority of the house in 1910
he seeks.
His statement that "the in
creased cost of manufactured
goods is large due to an increase
in tariff rates aud that an in
crease rather than decrease in
the tariff rates is due to be-
trayal of the public by the repub-
lican party" Those who read
know this statement is not
founded on facts, There has
been no increased cost of manu-
factured goods that is chargable
to the new tariff.
Raw cotton is high yet cotton
is on the free list. Cotton goods
then cannot be higher because of
the new tariff, and there was no
increase in the duty on cotton
goods, except in the case of few
high priced articles which the
masses do not buy.
On goods manufactured from
flax, hemp and jute the duty was
practically all reduced. In wool
and woollcn goods there was no
change. There was reduction
on boots and shoes and the duty
on hides was taken off. There
were increases on silks, spirits,
wines, beverages and other lux
uries. Of the 2O24 items in the
IDlngley law 1l50 were left un-
changed. The duty on 22O items
were increased and on 654 in was
decreased.
The people were not betrayed.
The platform pledge to revise
the tariff was not only kept, but
revised very substantial down.
ward as the public was lead to
expect by the the party leaders.
The decreases were more than
thirty times the increases, con-
sidering the consumptive value
of products effected.
AS revenue producer the new
tariff has already vindicated the
wisdom of its trainers. The in
crease receipts exceed $40, 900, 600
over the old law for the cores
ponding period of time.
The business interests of the
country have not been disturbed
Everybody that wants work car
get it. Wages were never high
