That ne will be great and just judge

has been a great governor. an honest
and able public servant and a good

But it is a loss and a pity TO lose
such men from political life. Hughes
has done much to elevate and purify

THE MUSHROOM INDUSTRY.

ICedar Rapids Republican,
The mushroom industry is an extern
sive one. 1t may be estimated that
hundreds of bushels will be gathered
in Linn county MANY Of the mush-
rooms are dried and some picked or
canned for winter use The dried
mushroom is used extensively in soups
The edible mushroom is a sort of Cod
send in the closing months Of the year
1t is both a vegetable and a meat To
the Bohemian Americans we owe to
"a large extent, the local popularity Of
the mushroom. They have been from
the first devotees Of the sport Of hunt
ing and the zest Of heating them The
eye of the Bohemian is Unfailing in the
the detection of the edible mushroom
for the reason that the children are
brought up to know what is edible and
what is not. To the casual eve all
mushrooms look alike but 10 the trained
eye there are az many varieties of
them as there are flowers in the good
old summer time. They represent the
efervescence Of the soil in the closing
months Of the year They spring up
over night. while it takes the ordinary
vegetable months to mature itself In
formation and colorings also they are
as varied as the leaves on the trees
May the mushrooms never grow less
May the hills and valleys. the woods
and the pastures continue to yield this
delicacy. this succulency this tooth

This vein of characterization does not

worse. A little caution on the part of

The Essential Need of Reverence.

ut is impossible to place too much
emphasis on the fundamental and es-
sentia need of reverence" says the
Northwestern Christian Advocate
These are too many signs that as
people we have none too much of it.
The most characteristic symptoms of
irreverence are selfshness. egotism
willfulness, lawlessness. rudeness, and
coarseness of speech and manners. more
regard for m oney getting than manhood
the exploiting of pessimistic view
of human nature. neglect of the Sab
bath and the sanctuary, the neglect of
political res possibilities, and the deg
radiation of civic and national ideals
The decay of reverence is one Of the
greatest Of national perils. Reverence
for law and respect for our fellow men
are dependent on reverence for God.

reverence is not merely fear or wonder.
