attention, the end in view. The dress
of black calico, relieved by white polka

caught in band around the ankle. Not

THE TEST OF HARMONY?
Knoxville Journal,

II we are not greatly mistaken the
election Of Judge Kenyon to the Dolli-
yer succession will mark the Inaugural
ton Of an era OF good feeling that Will
sweep away much, OF the rancor and
factional strife Of the past ten years in
Iowa politics. There ls not a discord-
ant note in the chorus Of praise for the
new senator and commentator for the
legislature In securing so happy a set
tlement OF the deadlock. When the
Sioux City Journal and Cedar Rapids
Republican can Join hands with the
MarshaNtown T!mes-Republican and
the Register and Leader in support OF
a public man II surely seems that the
long sought for HARMONY had been
attained. Let W hope 20 at any rate.
Az we have previously remarked II
does no harm to hope for the best.

INTENSIVE FARMING.

fDes Moiaes Regizter and LEADER.
That IL e. fine story that is told OF
the boy at Atlantic who made money
at the rate Of 50 geo an acre out of his
back yar6 vegetable garden last esson
1t makes the average man itch to get
hold Of a hoe handle and begin opera
tons. It deserves to rank alongside
the stories Of gen!uses who pack a
rooster and a harem Of pulIets :nto q
dry goods box en- an sx1D patch Of
ground and make profits that buy
houses ard lots and grand pianos and
keep bank accounts looking well.
And it is true story. It happened.
The boy produced enough radishes ana
onions and lettuce to make proflt Of
s1s.25 on patch Of ground just a rod
square. Apply 4 little arithmetic to
that and see what result you get Az
the old table goes 100 square rods make
an acre. II ons SQUARE rod will pro-
rods will produee ago times that much,
or $4,000.
Whewi Think Of that! One year OF
gardening in Atlantic ought to be bot
ter than cycle Of most anything else.
The temptation Is for everybody to
90 to farming intensively on few
acres OF ground, but the Difficulty IL
that to multiply q square rod Of garden
until 1t becomes IN acre, and q 3lS.aS
profit until IL becomes $3.50. u easier

KEEP HISTORY STRAIGHT.
IDes Moines Capital.

An item appearing in a poorly In
formed Des Moines newspaper is go
ing the rounds OF the press to the ef-
feet that Senator ELECT Kenyon IS the
youngest man ever sent to the senate
from Iowa.
Far be it from US TO add one diseord-
ant note to the symphony now being
rendered, but in the interests OF truth
permit US to say that the official rec:
ords show that Senator George W.
Jones was in his thirty-seventh year
when sent by Iowa to the United States
senate: that Hon. James Harlan was IN
his thirty fifth year. and Senator
Grimes was Just past 40 years OF age
Senator Kenyon is PA happy med
iun between the spring chicken and
the grand old man -of-Iowa stages
By al! means let US keep history
straight.
