MASON CITY'S PROBLEM.

Near Mason City the inhabitants

it is realized that city of perhaps TO-
600 population Is d.scharging its sew

ties have been appealed TO but claim
the case is beyond their Jurisdiction.
And the fostering mass lies out under
the summer sun breathing poison and
death Ike the tabled valley over which
no bird might fy and live.

Back to the Farm.

The difficulty in getting help on the
farms is the hardest problem the agri-
culturist has to solve. AT this time of
the year when there is much work
that needs TO be done in a short time
the crying need is for assistance, but
it can not be had. Lots Of idle men
are in town loafing. who need money,
but they would rather loaf than work.
A writer in one Of the daily metropoli-
tan papers sizes up the situation thus
ly:
1t is said by some that the high value
of lands results in high values Of crops |;
the land owners charge more Tor
wheat, corn, cattle and sheep and other
crops than they did formerly when
these were raised on low valued land.
Any land owner knows this to be a
great mistake. One owning land OF
good quality twenty years ago. valued
then at s. an acre, and also land OF
good quality now worth 3i0e to $3.50
an acre. can explain the trouble. Farms
cannot be utilized in many sections OF
the country now for want Of men. ia
Dor is scarce.
The land owner can make no distinc-
ton as to the price he demands for the
harvest on low priced land and high
priced land. He gets all he can and
must take what he can get II he has
raised a crop. If his land is all high
valued land he is the more anxious to
make it raise good dividend rather
than to lie idle, providing he can get
the help. but how can he do so with
out men? Where are the men? That
Is the problem.
Here they are, within the environs
Of high prices for labor and high prices
for living attracted to the cities by
supposed pleasures and advantages
leaving the land We all know the re-
suits. Laws must be adjusted to the
principles of equity. Give the manu-
sacturer justice by giving him less pro-
lection, enabling him to develop his
business without running competition
and drawing fewer men from the coun
try districts to be disappointed IN the
ultimate results.
Interest the low-paid city worker to
| go back to the land, where he can make
good living and where he can orine
his family up in good health and eooo
morals It is not necessary for these
workers 20 buy land and own farm a,
first. any more than 1t is necessary for
them to own a factory or store IN the
city. but ultimately they can take pos
session of the land which is going beg
ging and which promises a big share OF
the profits. Sincere men, with interest
in the land and in the good OF the
country, would soon become leaders In
the community. The farming interests
would welcome 100000 men. whose
work and citizenship would accrue te
the interests and welfare Of the entire
country.

Automobiles and Newspaper.
louisville Courier j our nal

Did you ever stop to think what
newspa per advertising has done for the
automobile business? In the begin
ming the automobile manufacturers did
not make much use of the newspa pers
in Ileralding the good points of their
products. The stuck pretty closely to
the magazines and they did not sell
any enormous number OF cars Men OF
wealth bought autos, but the masses
didn't get interested.
When the manufacturers began buy
ing newspaper space their sales began
to increase and now they are selling
mac hines by thousands where they for
merly sold them by dozens. Lots of
well-to- do people read the newspapers
every day, but never subscribe for a
high priced magazine and do not see
the inside of one more than once year.
When the manufacturers told about
their wares thru the daily pa pers a
vast number of persons who never had
given the automobile serious thought
acquired sudden interest in the sub
1ect. They made mental com parsons
between rival machines and they
weighed carefully the claims of the
rival makers. BY and by they COM
men ced buying automobiles and the
business doomed as It had not doomed
before. 1t has been booming ever
since.
Farmers did not give the m otor car
much attention until they saw it ex-
plotted in their favorite newspapers.
Then they began TO investigate and in
quire. They came to the conclusion
that the automobile was good thing,
and they became buyers. It used TO be
that the farmer felt like all his wants
in the transportation line were sup
piled by a rubber tired buggy or sur
rey. Now he finds that he wants
something better and inasmuch as he
has been reasonably prosperous in re-
cent years he buys an automobile.
Everybody does not read books, or
bulletin boards, or ornate editions of
weekly or monthly periodicals. On the
contrary. about everybody that reads
anything. or can read at all, reads the
daily newspapers. It stands to reason
that the man who has a .neritorious
article to sell Is making serious mis-
take If he fails to advertise in the
newspapers. The marvellous develop
ment Of the automobile trade is only
one instance out OF many Of the same
sort

Potatoes Fed Swine.

The aim OF experiments Just COM
pleted on swine was to compare glut-
en-, imperial feed -four and mixture
OF oats, oil meal and imperial flour as
feeds for swine, and to obtain data as
to the value of potatoes as suppIe-
ment to these feeds. The main feeding
period lasted forty-two days and there
were ten pigs in each lot. The basic
ration consisted Of barley and bran.
The average daily gain on the supple
mentary ration of gluten and potatoes
was -1.35 pounds per head at a cost Of
4.S4 cents per pound. On the gluten
ration the average daily gal nwas 90
10oths pound per head at a cost Of
GIL cents per pound. On the imperial
flour and potato ration the average
daily gal was LII pounds per head at
"a cost of 4.S cents per pound. On the
imperial flour ration the average daily
gain was 52-100ths pound per head at
a cost of s.41 cents per pound. On q
mixture Of oats, imperial flour and oil
meal the average daily gain was 1T
pounds per head at a cost OF 1858 cents

Old John Cownie has his Scotch up.
He gave to the state ten years Of mose

greatly needed on the board Of control
today, but, of course, will never re-
turn. Governor Carroll wanted his
place on the board 10 reward defeat
ed congressman, but the Iowa senate
refused 10 confirm and Cownie failed
to resign 70 accommodate the governor,
whereupon the governor pursued him.
BY threats and innuendo he forced z
resignation of which Cownie repented
because 1t seemed to add confession
of guilt on his part. The campaign
came on, publicity followed and Cownie
demanded vindication Of his character.
Carroll replied in print with charges
which he could not prove and which
he must have known were not true for
everybody who knows Cownie refused
to believe them. Cownie appealed to
a grand jury Of the governors own
political friends and secured an in
dicfment Of the governor for criminal
libel Of himself, Cownie.
