Mahaska Can Raise Apples.

G. S. Pomeroy, of East Harrison,
with less rain than we have had in
Oskaloosa, shows some good apples
in the Herald window. This gives
an idea of what could be done in
Iowa raising apples if trees were
sprayed. The freeze a year ago this
spring which killed nearly all the
fruit, also killed the worms.

l,7S6 DEATHS In IOWA
Report of State Registrar for the
. Month Of July.

Guilford II. Sumner, state regis
trar, has reported upon the mortality
for July. He finds total of 1,75t
deaths for the whole state. The to
tai caused by the white plague IL
ninety-nine. This is due In part tc
favorable climatic conditions, but II
also gives ground to the hope that
the war is not in vain, and that we
are making gains. According to
this statement less than 6 per cent
of the deaths in Iowa during July
were due to tuberculosis. If that
showing could be maintained il
would be a magnificent one. AS il
is, there is a source OF no little salts.
faction therein.
There were again 300 deaths under
one year. No doubt many of these
deaths might have been prevented
and are due 10 poor food or to mex.
perienced nursing and caring for the
little ones.
But another part of the report is
extremely gratifying. There were
40 WHO were UtlMSth SSHthly ahu
eighty years of age, while 1870, who
passed 10 the beyond, were between
eighty and ninety. Forty there were
who were between ninety and 100,
and four had passed the century
mark There is a showing that might
attract much more attention than the
expensive advertising which Iowa
was advised to go in for, and which
would have produced no results
Thus in the state of Iowa, during the
month of July, 1911, out of the total
of 1856, who were summoned by the
death angel, 504 had passed the age
allotted to man. That is 29 per
cent or almost 0ne-thiTd lived past
the age of seventy. The conclus.
ions to be drawn are that people not
only live better, but also that they
live longer in Iowa than they do else
where. And of all the things that
man desires, the most important to
him appears life. We are supposed
to be a nation of mOney-grubbers
and gold-worshipers, but when it
comes to the final test, there are few
who would not cheerfully give up all
that they have accumulated if they
could thereby purchase longer
lease upon life.
The principal causes of death

ABOUT PENSION FRAUDS.
Moral Awakening of the Country
Likely to Have Effect.

The moral awakening which Is
upon the country has yet to direct
the full force of it's fire upon the
pension frauds, says the Worlds
Work. This delay is not unnatural,
for there is no scandal in which so
many thousands of respectable peo-
pie are involved, none of whose bene-
ficiaries form so powerful politi-
cal factor, none which requires OF the
press such great courage for It's dis
cussion. Yet, however, numerous and
influential are those who desire to
keep the subject quiet, the number
of those to whose interest 1t is to
have it discussed is far greater.
There is no branch Of the govern
ment in which more money Is mis-
spent, none in which retrenchment
and reform are more urgently called
for than they are called for in the
bureau which, last year distributed
s155,000,000 of the peoples money.
The country is now beginning to un-
derstand, not in a vague way, but as
a definite demonstrated fact, that,
while most of this money goes to the
we'll deserving, a good many millions
are falling into the hands Of fake
veterans, bounty-jumpers, imperson-
ators, camp-followers, deserters, ma
ligners and bogus widows.

Ben Hur Next Week.

Next Tuesday evening a high-class
stereopticon service will be held at
Trinity M. E. church. Ben Hur, one
of the finest books ever written, will
be illustrated on a large canvas with
over 80 views, some plain and some
colored. The service is primarily an
educational one, and will prove very
instructive and helpful. The spir-
itual side will naturally be empha-
sized, as the story is one of the
Christ. Everybody invited to come
to the service. Especially are the
members of the Epworth League
asked to be present. This is the first
of a series of lectures to be given
under the joint management of the
several church organizations. Others
will follow from time to time. No
charge will be made, for the service
next Tuesday night.
It will be helpful for every one
to try to find out something about
the story before the evening of the
lecture, as it will help them to a
clearer understanding of the views.

Why He Trembled.

A detachment of British soldiers
was about to attack tribe of rebel
Indian tribesmen, who awaited them
drawn up in battle order. A seas
oned old sergeant noticed a young
soldier irish from home, visibly af-
fected by the nearness Of the coming
fight. His face was pale, his teeth
chattered and his knees tried hard to
knock each other out. 1t was sheer
nervousness but the sergeant thought
it was downright funk.
"Callaghan," he whispered, "is it
trimblin' ye are for yer own dirty
skin?'ss
"N-no, sergint," replied Callaghan,
making a brave attempt to still his
shaking limbs, "O'im trimblin' for
the inimy. They don't know Callag'
hans here."-Ideas.

Free Lecture Course.

An announcement of unusual in
terest to the people of Bamberg, and
especially those who will remain at
home during the remainder of the
summer, was made Sunday afternoon
to the members of Trinity Methodist
Sunday-school. This is in brief that
series of illustrated lectures will
be given from time to time during
the summer; the course will also be
continued through the winter, but
the numbers will not be so near to-
gether as in August and September.
The Sunday-school, the Home and
Foreign Mission Societies, and the
Epworth League, have all combined
to install first-class stereopticon and
the outfit has already arrived and
will be ready for use just as soon
as the proper adjustments can be
made at the church. Arrangements
have been perfected with the Christi
an Lantern Slide and Lecture Bureau
whereby lectures will be rented for
the course. All of this outlay means
money invested, but the people of the
church departments are doing this as
a matter of help to the community,
for without a doubt the course must
be very uplifting and entertaining.
It is the PLAN of those In charge
to have the first lecture on next
Tuesday evening at the regular Ep-
worth League hour. The lecture
will be given in the auditorium OF
Trinity M. e. church, and large
canvas twelve feet by twelve will be
used to receive the large pictures.
The marvellous tale of the Christ,
Ben Hur, will be produced as the
opening number. About 80 slides or
more, some colored, will be use.
Every one is invited to attend this
lecture and bring a friend with them.
From month to month the name
of every pupil of the school who has
not missed a session Of the school
will be thrown on the canvas and
have part in the "Stereopticon Honor
Roll"

Was the Division Just?

A Chinaman, dying, left eleven
sheep and three sons; and making a
will, left one-half' of his estate to his
oldest boy, one-fourth to the next
and one-sixth to the third son. They
wished to divide without killing a
sheep but could not see how to do it,
so they sent for a wise lawyer. Send
ing to his own fold for sheep, he
put it in with the eleven. Now take
your half-six, said he to the eldest,
and he did so; the second, take your
fourth-three; the youngest, take
your sixth and begone- and
they did so, when the wise lawyer
drove his own sheep home.
Was the division according to the
will?

Woman's Home Missionary SOciet,
Entertained by Mrs. Kirsch.

Just at this season of the year
when so many of the ladies are away
in the mountains, at the seashore, or
| enjoying life at the various watering
places, the various clubs and societies
are very apt to go into summer quar-
tiers and no meetings are held in
July. But here the unceasing ac-
tivity and unfailing interest in the
welfare of her society and the pleas
ure of it's members is shown, when
Mrs. Kirsch, the beloved president OF
the Home Mission Society, invited
each and every member to meet with
her in her home last Tuesday after
noon, the time of the regular meet
ing.
This is not the first time that the
society has been so entertained by
Mrs. Kirsch-in fact the July meet
ing has come to be one looked for in
pleasant anticipation by the members
so quite crowd assembled on the
porches at the hour of $3.50. After
the devotional exercises and reports
of officers, a delightful program,
consisting of readings by Miss Lew
ellyn Cleckley, Mrs. G. F. Bamberg,
and Mrs. w. P. Jones, and a paper,
brim-full of earnest thought and a
plea for the unfortunate, sick and
lowly of our land, by Mrs. Kirsch,
was enjoyed.
During the social hour which fol-
lowed, most delightful cream, with
chocolate and marshmallow cake, was
served by Misses Genevieve. Kirsch
and Mary Ellen Eaves.
It was decided not to hold the
August meeting, but the work of
ministering to those in need will go
on, and the members it is hoped will
all come together in September with
new life and resolution to do more
and better work than ever before.
