Cunningham's yell Of delight caused
a near panic in the shop. He danced

wanted the other eye treated In the
same manner. The result was fully
as extraordinary.

IOWA LANDS THE BEST.
A Showing of the Futility of Selling
Iowa Lands and Buying
West.

An Iowa man was telling his ex-
perience with land investments the
other day. Some eight or nine years
ago he came to the conclusion that
he could make more money b. SELL
ing his high priced Iowa land and
buying land farther out of civiliza-
ton. He selected western Mime
sofa as the place of cheap lands. He
sold his Iowa farm at S45 an acre,
which was considered a very high
price, price that was about as high,
they reasoned then, as land in this
state could go In the next quarter
century. He bought his lands In
western Minnesota for $3.50 per
acre.
The other day he sold his Mime
sofa land and bought back some OF
the. Iowa lands, in the vicinity of
whore he sold his farm. He got s54
an acre for the Minnesota lands, and
he paid $144 for the Iowa lands. In
the eight or nine years the Iowa land
had gone up s99 an acre and the
Minnesota land had gone up $26 an
acre. 1t did not take q great deal
of figuring for him to come to the
conclusion that he made a great mis-
take In getting out OF Iowa. But
he was satisfied to get back into
Iowa. He thinks there is as much
profit in Iowa lands at present prices
as there Is in lands farther west at
much lower prices. In Iowa he has
never missed crop. while even in
western Minnesota his success has
been more or less Indifferent. He is
not going to sell his Iowa lands
again, but he is going to keep them
for his children aud his grandchil-
dren and he considers them the best
that he could possibly

How to Be an Editor.

Most any one can be an editor. All
the editor has to do is to sit at
desk six days out of the week, four
weeks of the month and twelve
months of the year and edit" such
stuff as this:
Mrs. Jones of Cactus Creek let
can opener slip last week and cut
herself in the pantry" "A mischjev-
Gus lad of Piketown threw stone
and struck Mr.. Pike in the alley last
Tuesday" John Doe climbed on
the roof of his house last week, look
ing for leak and fell, striking him
self on the back porch" while
Harold Green was escorting Miss
Violet Wise from the church sncial
last Saturday night savage uoy at
tackled them and bit Mr.. Green sew
eral times on the public square"
Isaiah Trimmer of Running Greek
was playing with cat Friday, when
it scratched him on the veranda. 4"
Mr.. Fang, while Harvesting a tron-
cho last Saturday, was kicked just
south of his corn patch"
Why, it is dead easy to be an
editor.
