Henry Petering of COncordia
was in Warrensburg " ednesday
on business and made the J,-D. a
welcome call. Mr.. Petering is one
of the substantial men Of this
vicinity. He states that the can
ming company at Concordia have
sufficient assurances from toma-
to raisers to enable them to pre-
pare for a busy season if the
crops pan out. Speaking Of real
estate values around Concordia,
$50 to 800 per acre ciear down
he states land is now worth from
$50 to 500 per acre clear down
as far as Blackwater in john
son county, and nobody is itching
to sell at these prices. He in
quired as to the progress Of the
Blackwater drainage ditch, and
said he hoped the Johnson coun-
ty men would not make the mis-
take of getting their ditch too
small. The Davis creek ditch was
made only six feet deep, four
feet wide at bottom and eight
feet wide at top. 1t is not suffic-
lent at points where it crosses
the old channel, to prevent its
being stopped up during floods.
He says the Davis ditch is gorg-
ed at many places now, and a
lot of work will have to be done
on it, simply because it was not
built large enough to do the work

For a rich addition to some of
our breakfast foods add chopped
nuts, figs, or dates. These addi-
tons not only make the cereal
more palatable, but, of course,
add a nutritive value of their
own. BY these combinations of
fruits and cereals children can Of
ten be induced to eat a break
fast food they have not previous
ly liked.
Of the many different ways in
which corn is prepared nowadays
two Of the best and cheapest, but
least used, are hominy and corn
meal. Hominy, when slowly cook
ed for quite a long time, is ex-
tremely wholesome and nourish-
ing, and takes the place of bread
to some extent. In some form or
other it ought always to be serv-
ed when fresh pork is part of the
meal. There are several kinds Of
hominy-the white or pearl,
which is the kind usually eaten
as a breakfast or luncheon dish,
and lye, or homemade, hominy,
which is in much larger grains
than the other two kinds and is
used chiefly for dinner or lunch
con.
Cornmeal muSh is au old-time
cereal and when properly cooked
is delicious served with butter,
cream, or rich milk. The secret of
cooking it so that it shall be Just
right is to sift the meal very
slowly into violently 5,iling wa
ter, using about six times as much
water as meal. Boil it for fifteen
or twenty minutes, stirring con
stantly. Another way to prepare
it Is to mix a cupful of meal with
a pint of milk and a teaspoOnful
of salt and turn it slowly into a
quart Of boiling water cook slow
ly for an hour, stirring frequently
The mush that is left over is nice
sliced and fried and served with
maple sirup, for either breakfast
or luncheon, the next day. Corn
meal mush and hominy are both
excellent cereals to have when ba.
con is on the breakfast menu.
A nice homemade breakfast
food is easily prepared by saving
the crusts and pieces of stale
bread and toasting them in the
oven until nicely and evenly
Drowned. Then run them through
the food chopper and put away
in a jar for use. When needed
place the quantity desired in a
pan, set in the oven to get crisp,
and serve with sugar aud cream
or with stewed fruits.-The Cir

So much is being said about the eff
ficiency and inefficiency of Governor
Carroll that the average voter is really
at q loss to know Just where he is at
in summing up the man. The progress
sive wing of republicanism would GUST
the present incumbent because he is
too inactive. On the other hand the
standpatters want him reelected, not
SO much because he is a great man as
the fact that it would be disgrace to
GUST him with but one term in the gov
ernor's chair. They tell us the man.
altho he has accomplished very little,
has done nothing offensive and that the
state ought to let him have another
try at it. We are not qualified to judge
the merits or dement's of Carroll as
the governor of our state, but it is our
candid opinion that the state right to-
day is full of good republicans who
could easily fiji the place with more
noticeable ability than is now forthcom-
ing from the head pew at the state
capitol. One good term deserves an
other, is an apt saying, and by the
same token one poor term is sufficient
from any man or set OF men. If the
governor has done nothing to merit a

How Finger Nails Crow.

1t has been computed that the aver
age growth of the finger nail is 137
of an inch per week, or little more
than an inch and half per year. The
growth, however, depends to great
extent upon the rate of nutrition, and
during periods of sickness it is retard-
ed. 1t goes on faster in summer than
in winter. and differs for different fin
gers. being most rapid in the middle
finger, and slowest in the thumb. Ac-
cording to the rate of growth stated
the average time taken for each finger
nail to grow its full length is about
four and half months. and at this
rate a man Of seventy would have re-
newed his nails 1856 times. Taking
the length of each nail at half an
inch, ne would have grown seven feet
nine inches OF nail on each finger
and on all his fingers and thumbs an
aggregate length of n feet six inches.

POSTAL DEPARTMENT RULINGS.

Sometimes rulings by postoffice de-
partment officials are beyond ordi-
nary comprehension. For instance: A
subscriber to a newspaper writes it a
communication which the paper desires
to use but can not use unless accom-
panied by the name of the writer, "as
an evidence of good faith" and signs
himself as BOX No. SO, R. F. D.. Iowa
Falls" A letter addressed to BOX s9v
comes back to the writer as against a
ruling by the postoffice department,
notwithstanding the order issued some
time ago to the effect that all boxes
must be numbered on rural delivery
routes.
But. after all, the department is right
We are inclined often to kick when
the exigencies of the service have not
been taken into consideration The
order numbering boxes was mistake

Moreover the mails would be loaded
with advertising mail addressed to
boxes, making carriers simply Dill
posters for every handful. cataiog and
the kind issued for whatever purpose.
when the rulings are considered one
against the other it merely shows that
the department corrected an error with
the second ruling.
The department makes many mis-
takes: but it corrects most of them.
Taken all in all it is a magnificent SER
vice and one growing in usefulness and
efficiency. 1t needs some fixing as re-

the national notions of some men in

The Cost Of Drunkenness.
IINew York Tribune.l

On merely economic grounds MI.
Bailey B. Burritt, of the State Chart
ties Aid Association, makes a strong
case against present Wasteful methods
of dealing with inebriates and IN FAVOR
of special provision by the city for
their treatment Mr.. Burritt shows
that in the male alcoholic ward at Bel
levue hospital $685. persons were adj
mitted from May, 1908. and 6,02S per-
sons were treated. The cost OF the
treatment of inebriates at the hospltal
for the year was more than $50. WV, OF
which more than $1,000 was spent on
persons treated more than once In the
year-that is to say, upon those VINO
were probably habitual drunkards.
| Nor was this by any means all the
cost of inebriates to the city. In the
same year 1886 men were committed
to the workhouse for drunkenness. OF
whom forty We're committed four or
more times EACH Mr.. Burritt's pamph-
lot gives the record of several cases OF
habitual drunkenness. One man has
been arrested sixty two times since 1883
and has spent S,033 days in the work
house. The cost of this maintenance
while under arrest is put down at more
than $4,000.
AT present it is the practice to send
such cases of habitual drunkenness TO
the workhouse for only a few days at
time. The punishment is no deterrent
and it certainly offers no hope OF
cure. Incessant arrests block the mag
istrates' courts. Under the bill winch
the State Charities Aid Association is
prom citing at Albany it would be pos
sible to send habitual offenders to
home for an undetermined period OF
not less than one or more than three
years. Moreover. the habitual offender
is not the only one who would be more
fittingly dealth with if this bill became
law The cases of first offenders
might be disposed of without bringing
! them into court as is now done i'm some
cities Those who had graduated from
this class but had not yet become
habitual offenders might be watched
by probation officers In general. there
would be an adequate system of hand
ling nebriety as it should be handled
and probably without increasing the
cost TO the public. The benefits that
would result from the passage of the
act and the provision of home for
, drunkards by the city would undoubt-
eddy be great.

HONOR TO CLARKE.
IGrfhnen Herald

It is fitting that attention should be
called at this time to movement
which should receive most cordial sup
port from the people of Grinnell for the
erection Of an enduring memorial to
the memory of DR.. E. w. Clark, whom
the city inourns today. 1t is planned
to erect a substantial sanitary drinking
fountain at the corner of Fourth av
enue and Broad street, in the park.
where the old fountain has stood for
so many years. Altho detailed plans
are for the future. the general idea
prevails that this fountain should be
of cement, with bronze tablets declar
ing its purpose. Chicago architects are
now at work on suggested drawing,
which will be received within the next
few days.
The plan has met with the Warmest
commentator wherever suggested
Such a memorial would be most fitting
DR.. Clark has merited it by his devoted
service to this community. The ma
ture Of the suggested memorial is also
most appropriate for it will do much
to further the health of the city for
the betterment of which DR.. Clark spent
all the active years of his life.
More definite steps will be taken in
the near future to bring such a worthy
end to fulillment.
The estimated cost of such a foun-
tain is between $500 and $500. The
| money will be raised by free subscrip-
ton. The Herald is confident tha,
there will be no need to solicit funds

HAVE YOU A COUNTY FAIR?

The county weeklies are reporting
action by the various county far
boards and predicting the biggest fair
of alr' for the ensuing fail. 1t is graft
fying TO observe the interest and &C
tiyity manifested. If there is a county
or a main town in the state which has
no agricultural fair il would show wis
dom by creating one. Country fairs
are worth the time and money. Like
advertising il is sometimes hard 10
count the actual cash returns from
these agricultural exhibits bur they
bring the goods. Mark that the county
with a well established fair of the
classy sort is Invariably OF the highest
class Its farmers are of the best,
its lives took is of the finest, its attitude
toward progress and the outward evi-
nences of progress displayed give it
distinctiveness and place.
Years ago Jones county held one Of
the best agricultural fairs IN Iowa;
and even then Jones county was re-
markable for its livestock on display,
for the personnel Of its farming pop
ulation. the splendid horses which
brought fine carriage loads OF success
full farmers and their families to the
annual gathering. Note that every
county where q good county fair is an
established institution shows better
livestock, more interested and more
successful farmers than its fairless
neighbor. The greatest value of the
county fair is its stimulating effect on
the agriculturalists who attend and
support it.

"A PIECE OF READY MONEY!"

The value of the coal in Alaska, is
estimated to be close TO a billion dol
lars. SO much coal is in sight or the
veins which contain it have been To-
Gated fairly AS this is the estimate of
the representatives of the interes is
which have been endeavoring 10 SCOOP
it into their own net it may be another
billion or two under. It is certain not
to be over. And this is the field which
a syndicate desires to have and to hold
on preenption claims gained il is in
sisted thru the common method of
fraudulent entry and welded together
in one colossal holding of few
men.
North Dahota's coal fields are esti-
mated to hold fifty billion tons, West
Virginia somewhat over 200 billion
tons, Pennsylvania 1913 billions, Illinois,
Colorado, Montana and Utah alto
gether about 100 billion tons. And
this territory which Seward bought
with little over $1,000, 900 shows up
vast coal and mineral fields fifty mil
lion tons. The estimate of men who
have merely scratched at the frozen
earth of Alaska offers figures beyond
comprehensibility.
1t would be pretty good plan
whether CLAWS recommends it. whether
Balinger condemns it whether II
please the hurrying methods of bic
business and the empire builders for
the country to keep somewhat of this
vast mineral wealth in the bank; a,
least to retain control over it. 1t would
