Shortage on Broopls.

With feeling of dismay, if not a
thrill Of positive horror, we note the
existence of shortage of the supply
of broomcorn. Word comes from
that recognized broomcorn center,
the state Indiana, that the shortage
amounts to an actual famine. Let
us not bubble over that word fam
ine," says the Chicago Tribune. BY
liberal Interpretation we may class
ify broomcorn as a vegetable, and
in the case of any vegetable famine
is possible. So serious is the situa-
ton, We are told, that the entire
supply, visible and invisible, will
suffice for the production of only
two brooms for each family. The
number of families in the country
being known approximately, and the
stock of broomcorn known absolute
ly, it becomes an easy matter to
figure out the average allotment of
brooms for each family, and this has
been done, with the appalling result
already noted. This condition of
things, moreover, will continue for
the next six months. There will be
no new broomcorn in the market be-
fore next August, and in the mean
time the price of brooms may soar
to 81 or more. The outlook is des-
perate.

Tribute to Man Who Named America

A movement has been started by
Heinrich Charles of the Saint Die
society of New York City, looking
toward the paying of some belated
honor and tribute to Matthias Ring
mann, the German poet, who named
America. Charles has written Pres
ident Taft, calling his attention to
the apparent lack of appreciation
shown Ringnlann, and asking that
Congress take up the matter. Por-
tions of his letter follow:
'Shall the memory rest forgotten
of the mar who named America?
Matthias Ringmann, the genial
poet, charmed and moved by the mu-
sic, meter and melody and the glori-
GUS history and suspicious meaning
of the word AMERICA coined the
name America in the spring of the
year 1907, in the Vosgian city OF
Saint Die. He died at Strasburg
Alsace, in the flower Of youth in the
fall of 1911. SO four times one
hundred years have come and gone
without any acknowledgment what
soever of his iife's greatest achieve
mert."

Twelve Wholesome Business Rules

The following twelve good rules
for business building that were con-
tanned on card and distributed to
the delegates in attendance at the
Clothiers' Convention in Cedar Ra-
pids last week by the Fairchilds
company of Chicago, are well worth
while and were very appropriate in
connection with the splendid address
given by Mr. S. Hirsch, of New York
City, on the subject Business Build
ing"
Be on time-One minute behind
time may lose you some great oppOr-
tunity. Time waits for no man.
Laugh and the world laughs with
you-A smiling face is great asset
in the fight for supremacy.
Pluck wins-Do not believe in
luck. Hustle and believe in your
self Try and try again.
Unfinished business first-Should
be the rule of the day. Do not be-
gin a dozen matters at once.
Think well of yourself-But do
not be conceited. Confidence begets
confidence; hence make a bold front
Tell the truth always-It may be
hard at times but it wins out. Be-
sides, lying requires such a memory
Doubts are the traitors that oft
times keeps you from big results
Think right, then go ahead.
Speak we'll of others-Your good
words may travel like a snail, but
the good intent will come back to
you.
Speak Ill of others-The message
will travel like lightning and you
will be hit by the boomerang you
sent out.
Be polite-It costs you nothing
and makes friends for you every
where.
Morning householder hours. Do
today's work this morning; begin to-
morrow's work this afternoon.
Do not get In debit Is like a
mouse trap-easy to get in-hard to
get out.

MORE sLEIGHING THIS SEASON
EcIipses Any Year Recorded Since
1855 and Perhaps Earlier.

The winter of 1909-1910 bids fair
to eclipse any previous year in the
matter of number of days of sleigh
ing. So far this season, or up to
Feb. "a we have enjoyed rs days of
sleighing and with only seven days
more of sleighing it will equal the
record of any year since 1855. There
is no doubt that We will have the
other seven days sleighing at least,
and quite probably several days on
top of that, so that this season will
carry off the honors in that respect.
B. w. Tabor has pasted in an old
ledger in his drugstore a clipping
from newspaper of some few years
ago, which gives the sleighing record
for several years since the winter of
1855-1S56. This record, which Is
one kept by one N. S. Young, of Ba-
tavia, ILL.,, shows that the winter of
1S83-1S84 was in the lead before,
while the winter of 1S80-1881 was
next, the former winter showing 80
days and the latter II days of Sleigh
ing. The record is not continuous
one, but it probably is for the years
when the sleighing amounted to
enough to keep track.
The records for the various years
in addition to those given above, CIV
en- by the independence Bulletin
Journal, We're as follows: 1855-1856,
flfty-three days; 1861, sixty-four
days; 1S63-1S64, forty days; 1872
1873. forty-three days; 1S74-1875,
fifty-three days; 1S7S-1879, forty
five days; 1SS2-1S83, fifty-three
days; 18S4-1SS5, fifty-nine days;
1SS5-1SS6, fifty-five days; 1886
1887, sixty-three days; 1887-1S88,
fifty days; 1S92-1S93, forty-nine
days The sleighing of the present
season began on December IL, 1909,
and has been in effect every day
since that time.

THERE'S NO RISK.
III This Medicine Does Not Benefit,
You Pay Nothing.

A physician who made speciality
of stomach troubles, particularly
dyspepsia, after years of study per-
fected the formula from which Rex
all Dyspepsia Tablets are made.
Our experience with Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets leads us to believe
them to be the greatest remedy
known for the relief of acute indi-
gestion and chronic dyspepsia. Their
ingredients are soothing and healing
to the inflamed membranes of the
stomach. They are rich in pepsin,
one of the greatest digestive aids
known to medicine. The relief they
afford is almost immediate. Their
use with persistency and regularity
for a short time brings about a ces-
sation of the pains caused by stom-
ach disorders.
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets will in
sure healthy appetite, aid digestion
and promote nutrition. AS evidence
of our sincere faith in Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets, We ask you to try
them at our risk. If they do not
give you entire satisfaction, We will
return you the money you paid US
for them, without question or form
ality. They come in three sizes,
prices % cents, so cents and $1.00.
Remember you can obtain them only
at our store,-The Rexall Store.

as. GOO Autos Owned by Farmers

The number of automobiles owned
by farmers is growing rapidly. Out
of 10000 autoes in Iowa, 5000 are
owned by farmers. Kansas farmers
spent $3,200,000 for automobiles
during 1909, and $2,750,000 In
1908. In one Nebraska town of 500
population, forty autos were sold
last year to farmers near the town
and retired farmers in the town
Careful estimate of the number OF
automobiles owned by farmers in the
entire United States is 10000.
