ed from one person to the next with
out any attempt at serving. While I
am at all times an advocate of SIM
picity, l do like to see the head Of
the house presiding at table, carving
and serving the meat at least and his
wife, at her end Of the table, presid-
ing over the coffee and serving those
dishes which rightfully fall to her lot.
It seems much more like. true hos

platters and vegetable dishes follow

HOW THE RIDING SWITCH GREW.
Knoxville Journal

If you have a desire to know how
long it takes a maple switch OF the
diameter of a lead pencil to attain
the dimensions of a vinegar barrel, here
are the points: The big maple which
stands inside the court house park, at
the southwest corner of the square, was
used as riding switch fifty-two years
ago next Saturday, April %, 1858. on
that day our teWnsman, Frank V,
Reaver, was born William T. Cum
ningham, afterwards treasurer OF
Marion county, was carrying the maple
switch when he heard that boy had
been born to Mr.. and Mrs. John
Reaves. After commenting on the
event Mr.. Cunningham said: Il am go
ing to plant tree in honor of Uncle
Johns heir" and forthwith he walked
across the street and pushed the switch
down in the soft earth, directly opposite
the John Reaver store building. Take
a look at the tree today and get an
idea Of what nature can do with q
switch in the course of fifty-two years.

HOW TILE EARNS.

An odd proof came up the other day
in Alden township, of the value of tile
as an lnvestnent. A farm without any
tile at all has been hunting renter
without success at 50 per acre. A
neighboring farm, with no better land
or buildings, but with $1,000 planted in
the ground in the form of tile, rented
easily at $3.50 per acre, a difference Of
s256 on the quarter section. In other
words the $1,000 earned s256 or over
25 per cent interest, and is as good a
deal for the renter as the landlord, as
the land will yield accordingly"

The Journal is sincerely sorry that
this situation has been brought about.
1t has consistently opposed any fight
against Governor Carroll upon the
theory that there was no issue. Now
however, the contest involves the dis
tinct issue Of whether or not Iowa is
to stand by the record of her two SEN
ators and her six congressman who had
the courage to vote at Washington FOR
the things that Iowa has been standing
for the past dozen years The journal
believes that iowa Endorses the actions
of her senators and that the republl-
cans of this state will stand squarely
behind them Indiana has just held
her republican convention in which
Senator Beveridge was sustained IN
animously. Iowa will not, cannot at
ford, to do less with her senators.
