Facts About Giants.

That very few of the giants who
have ever lived have been healthy or
well formed recent researches prove
beyond a doubt All we know about
Goliath is that he was very tall, but in
the second book Of Kings we read
about another giant. who had more
fingers than an ordinary human being,
and. according to modern scientists.
this is invariably token of degen-
eracy. Marcel Donnal saw at Milan a
giant who was so tall that his body
filed two beds at night. but whose
legs were so weak that he could hard
" stand upright. William Evans. the
gigantic porter of Charles l.. had little
strength. and Cromwelrs porter. an.

No Pure Water.

Owing to the extremely solvent pow

in rainwater, which. as it is formed in

in descending it brings with it what

ever experienced such beautiful
spring weather as We have had dur
ing this usually blustery month OF
March? In northern Iowa this is
generally the most disagreeable
month of the year. A year ago yes
terday morning the thermometer
stood at 80 and at the same hour
yesterday morning at 60. There
have been q continuous days of
sunshine, bright, warm, balmy,
spring days, warm evenings, just de-
lightful Iowa weather. Farmers
have been blowing for some time,
and now many are seeding. Roads
are in about as good a condition as
they usually are in the middle of the
summer. Grand old Iowa, the gar
den of the universe, the state where
peace, prosperity and plenty reigns
continuously; where one can live
and thrive with less effort than any
place on earth. How many, many
times will those who leave good old
Iowa, long to get back once more
to Gods country"

1.-THE SERVANT in THE HOUSE,"
One of the Most Beautiful Plays of
Modern Times Coming to
DEBORAH.

A year ago last March, at the end
of a season chiefly remarkable for
it's long list of disastrous dramatic
failures, there was offered at the
Savoy Theatre in New York the
first play of an unknown author 1t
was presented at a special matinee
and before an invited audience
made up of newspaper and maya
zine critics and intellectual men and
women of every rank in life. Next
day the newspapers of New York
City proclaimed the act that a dra-
matte masterpiece had been put
upon the contemporary stage and
one that daringly presented as its
central character a reinCarnation or
the Christ. Almost Immediately
the new play leaped into fame and
settled down to run that lasted all
spring and summer during a period
to the lives of even frivolous come
dies. Following the New York run
the production was moved across the
continent to San Francisco, where
it aroused as much discussion as it
had in New York. 1t was then pre-
sented in Chicago for a ten weeks
run and became the dramatic SEN
sation of the Western metropolis.
That initial production in New York
City was the first chapter in the
stage life of THE Servant in the
House." which is now running in
three countries of Europe, which
will soon be ogered in Paris, Lon
don, Berlin and st. Petersburg, and
which has during a single year be-
come the talk of the entire civilized
world. It's author, Charles Ram
Kennedy, was absolutely unknown
to fame when THE Servant in the
House" first appeared; today he oc-
cupies prominent position in the
front ranks of living dramatists
This beautiful play comes to the
Grand Friday night, April 18th.

Going to Buy an Auto?

If you are contemplating the pur-
chase of an automobile for use the
coming season, we urge you to care
fully consider the Maxwell line be-
fore deciding what machine to buy.
We believe there is no machine
manufactured in America that will
give such perfect satisfaction and
such absolute reliability as the Max
well. Nor is there a machine that
is so easy riding, so easy to operate,
or so economical in the use of gaso-
line, upkeep, repairs, etc., as the
Maxwell. For the same money we
do not think it can be excelled. Ask
any person who owns a Maxwell;
that is the best recommendation of
car. We have the exclusive agen-
cy for the Maxwell machines in Win
neshiek county, and will be pleased
to submit catalogue, prices, etc.
Don't put off buying until spring.
Then you may not be able to get
delivery of machine before late in
the summer. Come in and talk to
us about the Maxwell.

OUR TRADE WITH p

The consul general OF the United
States. stationed at Yokohama, fur
nishes some interesting figures as to
Japan's export trade which are here
produced. So long as this country Is
its best customer, there would seem to
be very little to fear of Japan deciar-
ing hostilities. BY a reference to the
following figures it will be seen that
this country wal exceeded by Great
Britain in the purchase of Japanese
goods in only two commodities-car-
pets and silk nightdresses:
Among other things it is stated that
in 1909 Japan exported earthenware
and porcelain to the value of $2,6IS,-
400. and Of this the United States tooS
Of q total of $4,000 silk nightgowns
exported by Japan in 1909, Great
Britain called for A, 1871 and the
United States 25,951.
Japanese "soy' is exported chlefiy
to the United States, HAWAII, Port
Arthur and Dalny. and Korea, each
taking approximately 100000 gallons
Japan exported nearly $4,000
worth of toys in 1909, the United
states taking $187 $40 worth, England
S6a Ola china $3S. 187, British India
S30'S71 and Germany $29,023.
During 1909 Great Britain bought
447. 526 square yards of Japanese
carpets out of a total Of 623, 500 yards
exported, but in mating the United
States takes practically all of Japan's
output.
Australia and the United States de-
mand nearly all of Japan Is sulphur out
put. the former taking 35,42l,604
pounds and the latter 3~7,45O,5l5
pounds in 1909. Switzerland takes
about 500, 1000 pounds monthly.
For each member of the POPULATION
of the United States about one.third of
. pound of Japanese tea and 10 or IL
o napkins are sold annually In
America. OF Japan's total exports of
peanuts the United States takes two
thirds.
Japan sold $4,000 dozen bottles of
beer in Korea in 1909 and a similar
amount was exported to Port Arthur
and Dalny and China. The Philippines
absorb the largest number of bottles of
mineral waters, but Korea
leads in the consumption of Japan's
beverage, sake, taking 1400,-
BOO gallons q year; the United States
consumes about 100000 gallons yearly.
Approximately one-third of 1885,
240 dozen silk handkerchiefs exported
by Japan in 1909 went to the United
States, and during the same period the
United States imported of Japan's
total sales abroad rs per cent of the
tablecloths, 80 per cent of the hair
brushes, two-thirds Of all the tooth
brushes, nearly 80 per cent of the fans
and lily bulbs, and 2,096, 739 out of a
