finishing, some corn that is well

be used on the farm before warm
weather sets in it should be dis

in cold weather without danger,
but it should not be carried over

ferment and become unfit for use..

A Miracle in Finance.

When N. w. Aldrich, spurred
by patriotism, undertook to give
his service to his country by en-
tering the Senate, he was worth
about 100000. That was %
years ago. Patriotism days well
sometimes. At any rate, the
senator is north between S10.-
600, 900 and SIS, 100000. More
over, he has raised a large family
in luxury, maintained steam
yacht, and built a country home
which requires a small army Of
men to keep in condition. Small
wonder, therefore, that those
whose ability as financiers is
limited would like to know how
it is done. Friends as well as
political enemies seek informa-
ton. Topique himself is anxious
to know. But l am afraid that
curiosity will not be satisfied.
This is likely to remain mys
terry, as it is a miracle in finance.

The Corn Laws.

In England at one time the
aristocracy, owning pretty much
all of the land, levied a tremend
Gus tax on all of the people
through the medium of the laws.
At that time the manufacturers
were a small factor in politics as
compared with the landlords.
Consequently the laws were made
so that subsidy might be given
to the most powerful influence
In politics. Later protectionism,
since abolished gave subsidies to
the manufacturers.
The California and Florida
fruit growers who are urging
the protection of fruit against
foreign competition are advacat-
ing the principle on which the
corn laws were founded. Two
States in the Union produce, in
great quantities, tropical fruits
which every State in the Union,
and almost every home and every
individual, consumes. To put a
prohibitive duty on tropical fruits
for the benaft of California and
Florida is to trim the nation for
the enrichment of fruit rauchers
who are negligible number in
comparison with the total popu-
lation.
The corn laws were great for
the corn growers.

Untimely severe frosts some

Do you know that if you have

under the law to send it to

school, for full term of the
public school in the district in
which the child resides.
ANY parent, guardian or any
other person having custody, con-
troll or supervision of any child
embraced within the provisions
of this act who shall fail to COM
ply with the provisions of this

Columbian WyandOttes.

The Columbian is one of the
most popular breeds now in exis-
tence. For the last two or three
years they have been the largest
entries in the leading shows. At
Boston, 1910, be.ides two $500
cups, the Barred Rocks had 500
in cash prizes for club members,
with a total entry of LA birds.
Besides a 800 cup, White Wyan-
dottes had $66 in cash prizes to
club members, and a total entry
of 189 birds. Partridge Wyan-
dotte club members had two $500
cups and $50 in cash prizes, with
total entry of " birds. Column
bian Wyandottes had but $50 in
cash prizes to members and a
total entry of 202 birds, the larg-
est number of and variety in the
show. Do you see anything that
would call for such an entry un-
less they are growing in poplari-
ty? The Wyandottes are quck
to mature, good winter layers,
and are in demand for table
use on account of their plump
bodies, and yellow skin. The
Leghorns are beyond any doubt
the greatest layers of any breeds
but the Wyandottes are nearly
as good layers and are by far the
best breed for table use. The
laying qualities of all Wyandottes
are about the same. They are
popular, beautiful and profitable.
Either one of these points
would be worth their breeding.
All breeds have some good quail
ty but it is very seldom we find
a breed that comes up to every
respect S does the Standard
bred Columbian Wyandottes. =

New grape plants may be Sc

the formation of roots for dew

Every autumn millions of dol

kinds, principally apples. fall
from the trees and are allowed
to rot on the ground. This vast
waste should be avoided. The
fruit should be sold to the evap-

ways. The last and least that
can be done if all other resources
fail in preventing this waste is
to gather the fallen fruit and

Obituary.

On November 9. 1910. many a
tear of sorrow was shed by rela-
tives and friends when the angel
of death entered the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Sam Thomas and
took from them little Ruel Edgar,
the idol of their hearts.
Little Ruel was nine months
old and was only sick four days.
In spite of all that physicians
and loving friends could do, he
was called to his eternal home.
And though the sun shines
around the lonely little grave to-
day, the, little form resting so
sweetly there is not forgotten.
The bright angels above are lisp
ing praise to Him who said: "Suf-
fer Little Children to come unto
me and forbid them not, for such
is the Kingdom of Heaven, and
with his sweet baby and is beck
oning Father and Mother to come
on and share with him the eter-
nal joys of that bright world.
The little darling is not dead,
but lives with Him who said: Il
am the Resurrection and the
life" So live that YOU may meet
your sweet little darling and
with his sweet baby form clasp
ed to your bosom rest through
out eternity. M. S.

that you have very large number

The city of Galveston was the first
municipality to try the commission
form of government. It was induced
thereto by the tremendous CONFUSION
that overwhelmed the city some 10
years ago. On Jan. /, 1901. the city
found itself with a floating indebted
ness of S2O5, 600. The city hall, fire
engine houses, public buildings and
the homes of many of the citizens were
a mass Of ruins in the preceding Sep
TENDER. Bankruptcy was imminent
and something had to be done. A
committee of prominent citizens con-
sisting of R. w. Smith, Colonel Wal

asked to draw up some kind of char
ter that would enable the city to meet

Last of the Old Days.

Nevada has gone and got decent.
Since the days when Bill Nye used to
twist the mules tail preliminary to
going through his stall to the ladder
that led into the printing Office in the
hay loft, gambling resorts were oper-
ated uninterruptedly until Sept. 80. On
that date the new law forbidding gam
bling in all forms in Nevada went into
effect and the sherifs began to do
their duty.
It is the turning over of the leaf for
gambling. Gambling was conducted
open and above board i'll Reno and
Carson City, and in the hamlets. No
body covered up. The chips were
ivory and not OF the stuff that is noise
less. There was no need of lookouts or
sentries, or even of "cappers." The
law didn't forbid, and what the law
could stand for. public opinion could
tolerate, until things got too bad.
Soon or late every western state
has come to appreciate the need of
putting on at least the pretense of civ
ilization.
The last of the states to write anti
gambling legislation in it's statute
books, Nevada, is the last to lay claim
TO civilization. Hereafter it won't do
to say that everything goes in Ne
vada," for everything won't go. Like
" as not the next legislature will
make another prize fight impossible,

Biz Things For Rock Island.


In yesterdays issue of The Argus
appeared the accounts of the accom-
plishment of three distinct undertake
ings that make for the substantial
betterment and advancement of Rock
Island. One was the assurance that
the Belt line. having for it's object the
opening up of the entire west end of
the city to factory development by
means of competitive railroad advan-
tages. is a certainty. In the same con-
nection the way is to be made for in
terurbans from the south and east to
enter the city by the most feasible
route.
Another project which is practically
certain is the erection of a modern
club house for that public-spirited in
stitution, the Rock Island club, thus
providing headquarters for the com
mercial organizations of the city, such
as are common to other wide-awake
cities.
Still another proposition is the op-
portunity to be afforded the people to
adopt the commission form of munic-
ipaI government in Rock Island, which
it is believed from the signs of the
times the people are eager to avail
themselves of.
All these things brought to a reali-
cation in a single day show that Rock
Island is on the forward march.
