was in central Iowa. 1t is suggestive
to find general opinion of the voters

patters and progressives now find their
representatives no, lined up as pro-
sressives voting for a progressive, or
standpatters performing the neritori-
Gus duty of staying with stand
patter. The LATE Young crowd of
standpatters voting day after day for
Judge Deemer is jus, as inconsistent as
that of numerous progressiVeS dying

He could only say, me very sick. much

fever and his actions were those of a
very sick man. And what did the con-

Simply nothing. Sobody's business.
Nobody's business. All we were afraid
OF was that he was coming down with

There are several ways OF making
living has been often remarked. There
are some ways Of adding to your in
come the other fellow has not thought
of doing. For instance. there's one
travelling man in Iowa that has been
raising gnsing for several years and
now he is getting some returns for his
time and trouble. One hardware sales
man was successful cattle breeder on
his farm all during the years he was
On the road. Another one has peach
farm in Missouri And only last week q
Sioux City travelling man was pointed
out that last year sold $1,000 worth of
dogs. a pup from his kennels with an
attached pedigree brings $50 to SIS.
There was once a newspaper solicitor
that worked axle grease as a side
line. He was soon making more from
his side line, than the newspaper paid
him, 30 he became an axle grease man,
and today sells it by the carload. One
salesman on the road, once took
husking gloves as side line, and IN
one season made as his commission
s1,1OO. And the travelling man that
handles eighteen sidelines will prob
ably read this For many months he
has Travelled with all sidelines on COM
mission entirely. His trade and his
customers are in every business house
in every town. And he makes it pay
too.
Speaking Of travelling men. reminds
one that in Gilman last week was a
travelling man, some would call him
a peddler who was selling watches and
delivering them He catlled on the
local jeweler and offered him watches
of standard make at less than factory
prices. And the watches were new and
genuine, and the prices were less on
some well known watches than the
price at the factory. His story was
that he was dealer up> in Minnesota,
was overstocked and was unloading In
this way His business was open ana
above board" and his appearance did
not suggest any burglar deal Still how
does he do it asked the jeweler and
/ other watch dealers in town.
! The standpat New York Sun can not
resist having little quiet fun with
our soon to be ex-senator Young In
recent issue it says:
The speech Of the Hon. Lafayette
Young Of Iowa. on 1.-The Proposed
American Donation to Canada" Is very
beautiful He opens his heart. and
nothing but good comes out:
III I were master Of the situation,
the world would have to wait . long
time. am in favor Of eight hours for
a day swork am in favor Of good
nav for the men who do the work. I
am in favor Of gardens around tho
homes OF the workingman. am In
favor of the little home having library
and q piano. am in favor OF educa-
ton and art am in favor in improve
ment. better roads, bigger and better
schoolhouses. the church ana the music
teacher In the village I am in favor OF
more 10y in the home and anything that
will contribute to that end"
There are few cheaper or more hliinl
joys in the home than the speeches OF
1.afs Young franked to Admirins rural
lists. While never q farmer himself
who loves the farmer more or sings
him more nobly?
