WE SPEND roo MUCH MONEY.

Edward Amherst OFT OF Waukegan,
H., lectured on THE Spenders' to an
audience of 1000 at the Odeon theatre
in st. Louis Tuesday night The
lecture is part of plan of the Citi-
zens' Industrial association to educate
the public of the United States with
reference to the proper methods to-
ward eliminating waste and removing
the barriers which now separate the
employer from the employe. He gave
many pithy sentences, as follows:
Watch man spend money If you
would know him. Some men are non
est on $1,000 a year and become rob-
bers on $1,000. The American people
spent s365,000,000 for cigars and
s60000,000 for chewing gum last
year. The money spent for cigars is
exclusive of pipes and cigarettes The
amount expended for tobacco would
pay the teachers of the United States
double salaries We spend 81 SOC, 900
a day for drink If you have a dollar
to spend put it in circulation like a

TAFT WILL BE NOMINATED.

The meeting OF the Republican ma
tional committee in Washington the
other day confirmed the general ex-
pectation that all but very few of
its members favor the nomination of
President Taft for a second term.
While the attitude of the members of
the national committee is not of itself
conclusive, 1t confirms all the rest of
the political signs. Mr. Taft will be
nominated because the Republican
party cannot, under existing condi-
tons, do anything else and even hope
to win. The Chicago Inter-Ocean
states the case clearly and succinctly
in saying that the Republican party
must travel on its record. BY that 1t
must stand or fall, win or lose. To
repudiate Mr.. Taft--to deny him the
customary Endorsement of a renomi-
nation-is simply to repudiate the Re-
/ publican record and not the Taft ad.
ministration alone. The same paper
goes on to say with equal force and
/ truth:
The demand for Mr.. faft's reject
ton comes from men who, while still
pretending to wear the Republican
label, repudiate every historic princl-
pie of the Republican party and seek
to change our form of government %
that OF autocratic state socialism
While it is impossible for historic
Republicans to be highly enthusiastic
! for Mr.. Taft, he is the best they can
do under existing conditions of party
organization and political geography
He still stands for something of Re.
publican continuity.
Mr.. Taft will be nominated Wheth.
err he will elected depends on uIite
another set of considerations which
need not be discussed at this time"

Ringgold Record News: The city
of Keokuk, the Gate City of the
west, is evidently coming back
and coming to its own. In the forties
and fifties of A. d. it started out
gaily TO be the Gate City of the then
opening northwest. 1t was naturally
supposed that it would be the distrib-
uting center for vast area of coun-
try. 1t was located SO as to grasp the
river traffic and it was naturally sup
posed to be the proper center for all
future railroad interests. In every
way it had promising outlook. All
movements pushed toward it. But for
the present the fates seemed against
it and the press toward the west went
over and around it. 1t has become a
beautiful and substantial city but has
not made the rapid growth that was
at first expected. But the tide of
events has turned and things are be-
ginning to turn fast towards the Gate
City. The big Mississippi dam now

IOWA CROP VALUES.

Drouths which are serious in other
states seem to make little difference
in the productiveness of Iowa soil.
The value CT the farm crops of 1911
is more than s26.000,000 in excess of
the value in 1910, according to the an
nual report prepared by DR.. George
NJ. Chapel of the Iowa Weather and
Crop service, read before the annual
meeting of the State Agricultural So
ciety.
The corn crop for this year was
smaller than that for the year 1910,
but the handsome price being paid the
farmers for their grain makes the
value of the 1911 crop s151 ,937,964, as
against s127,622,340 for 1910. On De-
cember LIST farmers were getting
hfty-four cents per bushel, as against
thirty-five cents year ago.
The following tabulated crop sum

Henry county, which has been
pluming itself on heading the process
sion in the matter of small sale for de-
linquent taxes this fall, will have to
take second place. The treasurer at
Mt. Pleasant offered only five pieces
of land for sale and the tax on all of
them amounted to little over $50.
Now comes the Fairfield Ledger with
the statement that in Jefferson county
only three pieces of land were offered
and the delinquent taxes amounted to
only 500. 1t would be interesting to
learn If any other counties in the state
can show as creditable a record in
this matter as these two.

BUY LAND IN IOWA.

In an address before the agricultural
convent. n, held in the house chamber
IN the state house in Des Moines on
Wednesday, Prof. c., f. Curtiss of the
Iowa State college at Ames, declared
that If Iowa people will invest all of
their money In Iowa for the next ten
years, the farm lands of the state
will be worth from $500 to $500 an
acre and the population of the state
will double. Professor Curtiss spoke
enthusiastically of the outlook for
Iowa under the intensified farming"
idea. He quoted statistics to show the
rapid advance made by the farmers
of the state in the last ten years and
added that the limit of productiveness
of the soil has not been reached.
In commenting upon the rapid ad-
vance in the price of Iowa farm
lands, Professor Curtiss said the adj
vance was inevitable and good talk.
ing point for residents of Iowa. Pro.
lessor Curtiss warned the farmers to
stay away from states whose land val
ues are not increasing. He said the
increase in value of land is the best
sign of prosperity and good place
to make an investment.
The speaker took to task the great
number of people who have left Iowa
for cheap lands in other communities,
and added that most of them wish
now they had remained in Iowa, or
could get back for what it cost them
to get out. The address was along
the right line at the present juncture
of Iowa affairs. There ought to be
more addresses of the same kind.

DAME NATURE.

DAME NATURE.
Dame Nature is so very old
That it is strange, in soothl
She dresses just the same today
As in her early youth.
Her springtime gowns are fair and
fresh
In tender tints of green,
With white and gold embroidery
And wells Of silvery sheen.
Her summer gowns show deeper hues,
With flowers overlaid,
Like finely woven tapestry,
All flecked with light and shade.
Her richest and most gorgeous dress
She saves for autumn days:
Deep crimson, orange, gold and brown,
All yelled with purple haze.
Her winter gowns are often changed;
You see her robed today
In garments like a Quaker maid.
Of sober brown and fray.
Tomorrow you may wake to find
Some magic of the night
Has clothed her in royal robe
Of ermine, snowy white
Such taste Dame Nature does display,
To question it, who dares.
She's beautiful to look upon
In every gown she wears.
