be derived from an exhibit at the

will be thousands of exhibits from
different counties and sections, and

people will visit this exposition and
an exhibit there no matter of what
character will interest many thous-

coRN.FED TROUT.

Next to California, Colorado has the
art of advertising itself down to
fine point. Every little incident pos
sib1e to be used is utilized as means
of calling attention to some feature
OF the state. If no incident can be
found one is invented. A case in
point is the experience of the
members of the Denver Press
Club in their first summer camp
on the Gunnison river Cues
toned about fishing, on his re-
turn, the president of the club de-
clared that at all times the fishing
was fine and that any novice could
bring in a mess in half an hours
time. He then went on to tell as fol-
lows how, early in the season, the
camp was favored with corn-fed trout,
but this exceptional delicacy didn't
continue by reason of the acts of a
farmer living on the river adjacent
to the camp:
This farmers chicken ranch runs
down to the river bank, and it is his
custom to scatter corn and other
grains for his poultry almost down to
the waters edge. But the chickens
lost out on their rations, because the
trout came out on the bank and car
ried off the major portion of the
grain To prevent this, the farmer
put in coarse-screen wire netting
along the river bank. This kept out
the larger trout, but the latter, grow
ing wise, sent in the smaller fish
through the netting, and they brought
out the corn, with the result that the
farmer was obliged to change his
screen to very fine mesh.
1T was on this account that the
supply of corn-fed trout ran out be-
fore the season was half over"

BALLOT INSTEAD OF PETITION.

BALLOT INSTEAD OF PETITION.
The Des Moines Tribune thinks
that the petition by signatures should
be abolished in liquor permits and the
secret ballot substituted. The pres
ent system is costing too much money
and 1t results in too many law suits
following the circulation of such Pc
titions. The Cedar Rapids Republican
says 1t has long been of the same
opinion; that secret ballot is the
American way of settling ali cues
tions. The same paper continues:
1T has been argued that some men
are deferred from signing liquor per-
mits because of the publicity that Is
attached to it, but it is also true that
many men who now sign such petit
lions would go into the voting booth
and secretly vote against the saloon.
1t is about six to one and half doz-
en- of other. On the whole, We are
rather inclined to the belief that tenn
perance and not the saloon "ouiu
gain by the use of the ballot instead
of the petition.
'In any event it is the majority OF
the voters who are supposed TO ruie
under this system and the only thing
necessary is to obtain the yerdlct OF
that majority. We believe 1t can pe
more correctly and with much less
expense and friction be obtained IN
the form of the secret ballot. me
petition, it must be admitted by all,
has set whole communities by the
ears and caused strife and contention
and bitterness in all the cities of the
state. To get rid of these disturb
ances would in itself be great re-
lief. The bitternesses that are en-
.gendered in some places are really as
bad for the human being as liquors
themselves"
The Gate CITY cannot concur In the
view that the ballot would be prefer
able to the petition. The ballot plan
has been tried in Illinois and the
strife and contention and bitterness
it has caused have been greater than
the disturbance under the petition
plan in Iowa. Instead of bringing re-
lief, the proposed change, in all prob
ability, would make bad matter
worse. Furthermore the petiton ar
rangement puts all the trouble and
expense Of securing the protection OF
the mulct law on the liquor men. They
must secure the necessary signatures
at their own expense, while the large
cost of special elections would have
to be borne by the taxpayers general
ly. 1t will be generally agreed that
taxes are high enough now without
making them any more burdensome
1t would be better to bear the evils
that we have than to fly to others
from which we have been happily ex-
empt in the past.

Big Deposits in Large Cities.

1t is the intention of the board of
trustees, just as soon as they get
around to it, to devise a plan for an
extension of the postal bank system
in the larger cities. At the present
time Chicago, New York and other of
the larger cities have only one bank
and that at the main office. Neverthe-
less, the latest report received by the
department indicates that in the four
larger cities deposits aggregating
$350,000 were made in the first 19 days
these offices were open. In no one OF
these cities do the postal banks reach
the actual seat Of the foreign popula-
ton. AS matter of fact they are
practically all located in the heart OF
the business section
The next move will be to permit the
branch postoffices, of which there is
at leas: one in all large cities in
proximity to each branch of foreign
population to receive deposits and al
SO to redeem deposit certificates. Chi
cago has no postal bank in the heart
OF Its great foreign settlements, most
of whom have been educated by ex-
perience and propaganda to the bene-
fits of the postal savings banks. Nor
has New York any such office any
where on the lower east side where 1t
is most needed. Out Of total of 49,.
Sl5 postoffices in the United States,
$3.50 of them are located in branch
postoffices

AUTUMN DAYS IN IOWA.


How beautiful it is these autumn
8s days,
When golden vines hem all the
highways in,
And far away one sees the autumn
The Indian summer that will soon
begin!
1t Is Joy to live in days like these,
When all outdoors is as a radiant
glow,
And gold and scarlet colors all the
trees,
As If some painter once had left
them so.
Last night walked along the village
The larks were singing in the mead
ows near,
Such bursts of joy, and yet little
pain,
For yonder summer dead upon his
bier.
Then other music, like an elfin's horn,
So faint, yet near, heard all raptur-
ously,
1t was the rustling of the blades of
Soft as the murm ring of a tideless
sea.
"Come, come" it said-"The autumn
show is on,
OF every color in the masters tent,
Come and behold the blazonry of
dawn,
The purple twilight where the
swallows went"
"And come and hear the minstrels,
ere they go,
The summer song-birds in their last
refrain,
Gods little prophets, that so surely
Ii spring be coming. or if summer
wane."
A little while and yonder moon is up,
Great and serene and gloriously
bright
Ana all the stars IN heavens inverted
cup
Will fill thy soul with music and
delight.
Come and rejoice, the woods are well
coming
Where scarlet flags and purple ban
ners fly,
And all the air is like a blessed
thing;
1t is the autumn that is passing by.

POSTAL DEPOSITS OVER 100000
over 1000 Postoffices Now Receiving
Notwithstanding Facts.

BY Jan. /, next, the trustees OF the
postal savings banks expect to have
a postal savings bank established in
every first, second and third class
postoffice in the entire country. Prac-
tically all of the second class offices
have already been designated, the first
class offices will be so designated
in their entirety by Oct. 1 and the
designation of the third class offices
will begin at the rate of 100 day I'M
til exhausted. This means that more
than 1000 postoffices in the United
States are now receiving deposits in
their postal banks on which the govern
ment pays 2 per cent per annum in
terest, or, if the depositor chooses to
buy government bonds with his depos-
it's he can get 21a per cent.
So eagerly has the postal savings
bank system been received through
out the country that the officials in
charge of the work in the postoffice
department have not yet had time to
prepare statistics showing the actual
workings of the system to date. They
know, however, that the system has
been tremendous success, far ex-
ceeding their expectations, and they
are bending their time and energy for
the present to an extension of the
benefits of the service before taking
