About An Iowa Man.
Est. Paul Dispatch.l

Herbert Quick. the writer who is
now editor of Farm and Fireside pub
lished at Springfield, Ohio, once lived
in Sioux City and practiced law He
had nice little sheetiron shingle hung
out in front of his office door-one of
those kind with gold letters and a
background that looked like sparkling
sand. And he practiced. to. He had
real cases in court and made a living.
Then he was elected mayor of that
enterprising city a few terms and got
to writing novels. He wrote In the
Fairyland of America, The Broken
Lance and after having tried to prac-
tice law and be mayor of Sioux City
at the same time, wrote Double
Trouble" which for a long period was
listed as one of 1.-The six best sellers"
When he left Sioux City and went down
east among the literary geniuses and
began having his shoes shined every
day and wearing silk watch fobs and
socks. he became very serious. During
one of these periods he gathered ma
teriai Ior anu wrote american Inland
Waterways" book which today is
looked upon as the bible on that sub
ject
Mr.. Quick came to St Paul last week
spent some time with old friends. He
told a little gathering of newspaper
men that he had quit the practice of
law. He is living in Madison, Wis.
and editing his Ohio paper from there.
What became Of your law library?''
he was asked.
Traded it off for town lot" Mr..
Quick replied. Then ] put some other
property in with it and traded it for a
South Dakota farm. You see what
good things can come from small be-
ginnings That town lot in Sioux City
looked better TO me than law library
and a South Dakota farm beats them
both"

Spraying for Potato Bugs.

The application of poison for potato
bugs, especially in large fields, is by
means of a power sprayer These ma
chimes are made to spray from four to
six rows with a fine, misty spray. A
hne nozzle is used and the liquid forced
out with pressure. The pressure is OBJ
tanned by gear attachments with the
wheels. 1t win be best for the farmer
to consult neighbors who have used
these machines and select one that has
given satisfaction elsewhere Some of
the earlier makes failed to give suf-
ficient power to make good spray.

have been run to earth, defiant desper-

Such fellows as Aud draw public at

men. The men at the top, the bribe-

Homemade Potato sprayer.

A very effective home made potato
sprayer may be made by mounting a
square platform on the front wheels
of a wagon. On this barrel is placed
which is furnished with a good hand
spray pump From the barrel four leads
of hose go TO a rod extending across
the back of the platform. Each hose is
provided with a vermored nozzle, which
sprays downward. The nozzles are
spaced so that one comes over each
row of potatoes. The cost of this ap-
paratus is about $50, not counting the
wagon and labor

Lessons From Disaster.
New York World

In the Rock Island train wreck, in
which more than forty lives were lost,
the fatalities were almost entirely con-
fined to the day coach passengers. Only
two Pullman passengers are reported
killed and in the sleeper at the rear the
shock was so slight that the serious
ness Of the accident was not realized
On many roads it is no longer i1eces-
sary TO pay extra charge for Pullman

be SO on all roads.

GOING ABOUT DOING GOOD.
[Washington County Press.J

L Il
We are daily coming in contact with
our fellows. Doing them good or evil?
Or just doing them? Meeting them
with a CHEEKY face and manners. or
with frowns, complaint, and criticism?
With praise and compliment and brave
suggestion, or with a sour countenance
and silence that is acrid?
Why do not people get into the habit
Of paying compliments? That Is the
rarest of fine arts. and this Washing
ton practices it less than any town ]
know. A compliment is the cheapest
present one can give another, but the
most valuable. The recipient prizes a
sincere compliment more than any
other possible gift. 1t becomes an or
narnent of the mind. jewel in the heart,
and portable; no thief can steal it. and
it acts and influences Ike living
force. secret spring. Nothing heart
ems one SO much as this form of glad
recognition.
But in no other respect are we so
stingy. as a rule. Everybody instinct
lively hates tight wad'' in money
matters. If man is tighter than the
bark on a tree that settles him in
Your estimation. You shove him out
among the goats.
But he has the Unreasonable plea
that he worked hard for his money;
his bank account represents many days,
much planning. denial, worry, many a
backache and headache-he will con
serve his resources and not fritter
them away-.'the rainy day" is com
ing Rrnt glad appreciation of an
others virtues, accompIishm ents, tall
ents, beauty, charm of manner, and
the like-tnat costs You nothing; it
represents no by-gone effort Why be
so chary of giving compliments? The
more compliments you give the larger
fund of good will YOU have left.

poetorina Animals.

One thing we have learned, however.
and that is that the best thing to do in
case Of ordinary illness is to do nothing.
Just give nature chance to attend the
patient. Nine times out of ten we do
not exactly know what is the matter
with the ailing creature Symptoms
are all we have to go by anyhow, and
they are usually complex with man and
beast.
Cattle have the sense to do what we
men folks seldom will ard that is stop
eating when they do not feel right.
That is one rof natures best methods
of curing Sickness with us-an. Just let
the system work off some of the ac-
cumulated matter and the chances ara
that everything win soon be all right.
IF we can do anything to-ilelp this pro-
cess, all right. Treatment to thoroughlY
relieve the burdened digestive appar-
a,tus is the best thing we can do. More
than that is more likely TO do harm
than good. unless one be skilled vet
Urinary, as few farmer folks are. -

THE DRUG STORE SALOONS.
Icedar Rapids Republican,


There has never been any excuse for
the drug store saloons in Cedar Rapids.
They have set at naught the very ar
sulnents which have been used in favor
of the mulct law. We have made the
men who paid the license live up TO the
law. but we have permitted men who
have paid no license to sell in violation
of all laws.
The police department. has taken the
position that il has no supervision
over the drug store saloons. That is
the plocie department has held that
when a man puts up drug store sign
that he can violate all the laws made
and thar without interference The po-
lice department has even quoted a de-
cision of the city attorney 10 sustain
them. Its ridiculous.
Instead OF enforcing the laws against
such places policemen have during the
past year or so used them for lettering
places. And we suspect that some men
in blue uniforms with stars on their
breasts and billy clubs and revolvers
concealed about them have taken
drinks IN such places.

r.. r. RATES AND IOWA FACTORIES

[From report of Col. Smith Brook
harts speech at Washington, Iowa, in
Washington County Press.l
The greatest question before the
American people today is that Of rail-
road rates. The greatest achievement
Of the Roosevelt administration was
The enactment Of his rate bill, and that
was only a beginning; an entering
wedge A great principle was estab-
Eshed. to-gvit: that the government had
the right 10 regulate railroad rates for
TIE public good. Iowa has been and is
Tow one of the greatest sufferers from
unjust railroad rates. The railroa i
managers drew line down the Missis-
siqpe river and decreed that this should
be the western boundary OF manufac-
turing. Freight rates to and from Iowa
were then made so high that factories
could not survive. The Burg wagon
factory at Harrington moved east
years ago; the road scraper fac
tory at Mt. Pleasant found q better
location east of the river; the grain
weigtler factory at Washington is now
enjoying favorable freight rates al
Peoria. III. The new factories that re-
main in our counties are constantly
battling against excessive rates for
their existence. For instance three
years ago the naleabie iron works
AT Fairfield shipped sixteen hundred
tons OF pig iron from. Chicago 10 Fair
field. II it had been stopped at the
river distance of 206 miles the rate
would have been 81 per ton. But it
was carried fifty miles farther on the
same train and it cost $40 per ton.
This is sample of what is being done
TO Iowa on everything and while that
particular rate has been changed it is
still heavy discrimination. as are all
the other rates. l do rot have the time
this evening TO discuss in detail the
rate bill now before congress. It is
enough TO say that the amendments to
be offered by Cummins, C1app and
Bristow will go far toward correcting
the evils have set out. Those who
speak for Mr.. Kennedy tell US he is
opposed 20 these amendments. And
why does he oppose them? There is
no reason to be found except they are
also opposed by Cannon and Aldrich.
1 maintain that the Roosevelt policies
and the Taft administration will be
better served by representative who
stands strongly for the rights of the

Common Pea Vines. as Stock Feed.

The United States department 4 OF
agriculture announces that the pea
vines, which have heretofore been
waste product of canning factories,
have now risen to the dignity of a BY
product. These vines are now being
cured for hay, fed to stock in the fresh
state after the peas are picked, .or
are made into ensilage which is said. to
be superior in value to corn ensilage.
Pea hay may be stacked as clover hay
is and 1t will keep practically as well
if it is well tramped. 1t has "a value
phigfer than clover hay, and both the
fsilage and the ay are found to be
excellent feed for dairy cows and salts
factory feed for beef cattle horses and
sheep. 1t sells from SO to IS per ton.
