Large and Small Families.

Where the population is largely ag- riculturual and isolated. and where la ibor is scarce, the husbandman is proud tC raise 3. large family, for the boys in time will help to lift the labor from his shoulders, and also there is always plenty of work for the girls to do about the farm. Moreover, food is plentiful and other desires are few. But no such stimulus for a large family exists iii urban life, where it is often necessary to live in a flat, the very limitations of which point to the individuality of numerous progeny. Moreover. as the individual rises in the social scale former desires become present needs. The coming of numerous children would mean the sacrifice of these needs by the parents. the descent to a lower standard of living. and the parents will not consent
 Finally science has shown that a small family well taken care of makes a better showin in future generations than a large family poorly looked after. The fewer children of the we'll pro- vided-for family will actually show a more numerous progency in the third

You'll never see Il word indicating that there's any grief connected with the business. Every thing is sunshine and roses and ice cream and velvet
 sSo we bought a little farm a few miles from town and spent good dol lars for henhouSes and incubators and breeders and patent nests and china eggs and all sorts of things recom- mended by those farm papers And We blew in a lot more for fancy hens, with pedigrees reaching from here to Kalamazoo, and for roosterS whose names were in Burke's Peerage. We were going to start right, you see. There wasn't going to be a scrub on the place.
 parations we sat down on the front porch and waited for the hens to make us rich. But calamity came to that hen farm and brooded over 1t, shaking from out Its condor wings invisible wee. The hens got some silly sort of disease called the gaps, or the yaps, or something like that. They were always yawning, as though they were bored to death. and they always died. The farm papers said the disease was easily cured and told how to cure 1t and I lived out in the henhouse for sev- eral days doctoring those hens, pour ing castor oil down their fool throats and putting poultfces on them.

Mr. RoosexeIt,s PedIarea.

Last year we had to part with an Illusion. The two rivals for the honor of the alta inn1ent of the North Pole agreed upon one point: Neither Cook the imaginative nor Peary the genuine article reported the presence of a Scotchman at the pole. But to make amends, Scotchman has been found where the world least suspected his existence. It seems that MT. Roose- welt is Scotch. The Scottish Histori- cal Review says 1t. and as soon as it is said one sees that 1t must be so. The presidency of the United States is one of the three largest and most glorious posts in the world; the others being the headshdp of the British and German empires. The Emperor Will jam, as everybody knows, is Scotch man; he has an unusually large share of the Stuart blood which runs in the veins of every royal parsonage in Eu

Usually the sensible girl is alleady
spoken for.
How foolish a little child can
mako us feel!
The bold maiden finds never a
gallant swain.
Spent money is heeting regret;
misspent money lasting sorrow.
A love affair is never quite the
same after being sidetracked once.
If ignorance were bliss, what
happy bunch of friends we would
have!
If there were a perfect man,
wouldn't he be all swelled up about
it though?
1t might be wise plan for Cupid
to steal all the love letters as soon as
the knot is tied.
Preaching wouldn't be SO bad
profession, if it weren't for the cri-
tics in the churches.

/ Views Afoot

Have you ever taker the pains to
figure out just how much of an es-
tate you have in faraway Alaska?
The value of part of the items is just
now being disclosed, and it is amaz-
ing to learn how rich we all are, or
rather how rich we would be if we
would realize on what we really own
up there.
The lowest estimate Of the value
of Alaska's gold is eleven hundred
twenty five million dollars, and it is
made by men who should know. Tho
minimum value of her coal is fifteen
billion dollars and the mest conser-
vative estimate Of her copper is ele-
ven hundred millions. Thus these
three items alone aggregate value
of more than seventeen billion dol
lars, at the lowest possible estimate.
The really reasonable one gives them
value of moro than five times this
amount Now even seventeen bill
lion dollars is stupendous sum. It
would buy several states like Iowa
outright, Notwithstanding Iowa soil
is precious stuff. If equally, distri-
buted among US, every man, woman
and child of the entire nation would
get two hundred dollars. Yet this
is only fraction of what may rea-
sonably be expected of Alaska, 80
that it appears that our Alaskan es-
tates may be worth something after
all.
But the trouble is our interests
are in a bad way up there. The peo-
pie who live there say the Morgan
helms are trying to get everything in
sight By the Morganheims they
mean the Morgan Guggenheim in
tersts, and it does appear that they
are trying to take into themselves
everything Of value in the entire pc
ninsula. la this attempt they have
been greatly aided by Sec. Ballinger
of Pres. Taft's cabinet Moreover,
in outlining his Alaskan policy, Mr..
Taft was personally advised both by
Mr.. Ballinger and BY John Hayes
Hammond, until recently chief min
ling engineer for the Guggenheims;
and he followed their advice so close
ly that when the Alaskan delegate
to congress, who was not Guggen-
helm man, reached Washington, the
president refused to see him. or to
talk over the situation with him in,
anyway, saying that his mind was
already made up.
As result, the Alaskan bill which
Mr.. Taft has asked congress to pass,
is framed IN the interests of the
Norganheims. One member of the
congressional committee which ex-
anined it said 81 can see that if
we pass the bill, it simply donates to
whoever is in control everything
worth nve dollars in the territory"
It was to prevent this gigantic
robbery thet Messrs CLAWS and Pin
chot took up the fight with the big
interests trying to gobble up Alaska.
They We're promptly dismissed from
the public service for insubordina-
ton, and since the Morganheims
now have clear field, and the tide
of affairs is running favorably to
them, it is probable that this vast
heritage, which belongs 70 all OF US,
will pass into other hands than ours.

HURRAH FOR BOOSTERS
Board Let Contract. Atlantic To Extra
Via Five Mile Grove. Road Estab-
lished By Experts.

That the road from Atlantic to
Extra will be by the way of Five
Mile Grove was esta blished last
night at the meeting of the Board
of Directors of the Booster club. A
resolution was let for the contract
for putting this road into shape and
keeping it up to F. e. Smiths was
passed. It was found that the work
could be fixed at a less cost than on
the road out past the I. s. Andrews
place, and the later road would, it
is said, have required dirt to be
hauled in some places to make it
level. The road after being esta-
blished as far west az Extra was
left to Atlantic and Extra to locate
to here. Atlantic consequently had
the authority to locate the road up
to the Cass county line and as sta
ted above, this was done last eve
ming, when the contract for taking
care Of it was let.-Atlantic Tele-

GEORGE KNESS
Taksn to bis Brothers. at Audubon,
Hoping for Improvement Of
Health

The family of Mr.. George Kness
certainly demands the sympathy
OF every one. 1t will be remembered
that while driving one Sunday a
few months ago the horse in some
way became unmanageable and
started to run. In jumping from
his buggy Mr.. Kness received
broken leg which made amputation
above the ankle necessary. He was
taken to the hospital at Atlantic
and after many months returned to
his home not cured. After linger-
ing at home for sometime he be-
came dependent over his condi-
ton and was later taken to Iowa
City hospital and another operation
was found to be necessary. He
eventually returned to his home
but his condition did not improve.
1t is very unfortunate for Mr..
kness and his respected family de-
serve any assistance they may need
