THE YOUNG MANS CHANCES.

President Harry Pratt OF the uni
versity OF Chicago in addressing an
audience Of young men the other day
declared that there are greater op-
portunities for the right kind OF young
men today than there ever have been
before. He said:
II have been about among men OF
affairs a good deal, and everywhere
hear the same story. Bank presidents,
leaders Of great business enterprises,
lawyers, doctors-all are agreed that
they cannot find enough young men OF
the right kind. There never were so
many chances for young men as there
are today. That is, for the right kind
of young men.
'sBy the right kind, mean men who
can prove their worth, men who can go
through the long, slow, and difficult
process which is necessary to win the
confidence of their fellows. Such men
can get along without capital OF their
own. Banks are ready to lend capital
to men in whose faith and ability they
have confidence"
There Is no doubt whatever that Dr..
Judson is right. The young man OF
today is given recognition to an extent
unheard Of in earlier days.

THE MYSTERIOUS BANDIT.

The Burlington Hawk-Eye advances
a theory that adds touch of mystery
to Ottumwa's elusive "lone bandit
Perhaps" says the Hawkeye, "the
police are looking in the wrong direc.
ton. Perhaps, instead of being tough
and hoodlum and a professional
criminal, they may be dealing with q
person who Is perfectly proper in all
his ways, and who Is holding down a
more or less responsible position some
where. Perhaps he is cracked upon
this one subject and does not realize
what he is doing when he goes forth
to play highwayman, and perhaps ne
is simply indulging a whim, working
out some sort of theory, or some.
thing Of that sort. 1t is pretty evident
that If he were common criminal a
fellow who haunts the slums, If OF
tumwa has such a thing as slums, he
would have been run down long ago.
The biggest surprise of all may be
when Ottumwa catches her mysterious
robber, If she ever does"
Maybe you had better frisk yourself
and see if you have blue veil and a
gun in your hip pocket.

would be disastrous to Iowa and Iowa
interests.
SENATOR YoUNc's ADVICE.

"Inoro are enough men IN LnlS TOOTH
| to boost Ottumwa's population by
5000 in 1911 If they will unite in CO.
operative effort" This, in substance,
was one Of the forceful assertions of
Senator LATE Young in his address at
the annual banquet of the Commercial
association last night. Senator Young
urged Ottumwans and Iowans to awake
| to the possibilities of their city and
state; to stop the drain on Iowa men
and Iowa money to other states; to
realize that Iowa's soil is a veritable
mine of riches Of unlimited yield; to
build good roads, good dirt roads for,
said he, this generation must rely
alone on dirt roads. He called par
ticularly upon the young men to show
their mettle. He advised them against
turning their thoughts tc political
careers, but urged that they work for
success in the field of business en-
deavor and secure for themselves
something lasting that cannot be taken
away from them by any primary, con-
vention or caucus.
The senator reviewed his early life
in Monroe county, and picturing the
hardships and lack of advantages in
those days, placed clearly before his
audience the contrast afforded by the
manifold advantages brought by the
march of civilization.
Senator Young's address was power
full and effective in stirring the enthus-
iasm of the Ottumwa boosters. He
was direct and forceful in his plea to
Ottumwans to cooperate in advanc-
ing the interests of Ottumwa and Iowa,
and at periods in his address he
touched heights of eloquence that
stamp him as one Of Iowa's leading
orators.
In addition to the address by Sen
ator Young, DR.. Jeffrey gave a short
talk that sparkled with wit, and M. B.
Hutchinson made few remarks in en-
dorsment Of the project of the Sisters
of Humility of Mary, who have bought
a large tract of ground near the Coun-
try club and will soon commence the
erection of non-sectarian academy
that will cost upwards of $150,00O. Mr..
Hutchinson urged support for this In
stitution, which he declared would
fill long felt want in Ottumwa.
The banquet proved an suspicious
opening for the manifold activities
planned by the Commercial association
during the present year.

The Kansas City board of welfare
has made it's report giving the city's
first years experience with a NUM-
cipal farm, which supplanted NUM-
.cipal workhouse. According to the re-
port a prisoner in the workhouse cost
the city 1920 year, while prisoner
on the farm earned 500 for the city.
An average loss Of sixty cents day
for each prisoner was turned into a
gain Of thirty cents. Further, the re-
port, says, the reformatory influence
has been remarkable, the prisoners
taking keen interest in their work and
giving evidence Of desire to become
useful citizens.

74E TARIFF ON FARM PRODUCTS

"The New England states are IN
favor OF revision, especially for q
lower duty on farm products" This
statement was made by the New York
World in announcing the result OF a
special poll by which it sought to de-
termine whether the people wanted a
special session Of congress called to
revise the tariff, $50 duties could be
taken OF foodstuffs" This is inter-
esting because it bears out the predic-
ton Of many observers that the next
tariff assault would be leveled against
the products of the farm.
In this connection it will be inter-
esting to consider the tariff rates on
foodstuffs under the present law COW
ering the following items:
Cattle less than one year old, 81 per
head.
Cattle one year old or over, 1915 per
head.
Horses valued at $3.50 or less, $50 per
head.
Horses valued at $3.50 or more, $50
per head less 20 per cent.
Sheep less than one year old, Is
cents per head. :,
Sheep over one year old, $1.50 per
head.
Barley, 80 cents per bushel.
Corn or maize, Is cents per bushel.
Oats, is cents per bushel.
Wheat, rs cents per bushel.
Butter, 6 cents per pound.
Cheese, cents per pound.
Milk, 2 cents per gallon, and cream,
8 cents per gallon.
Cabbage, cents each.
Eggs, cents per dozen.
Onions 40 cents per bushel.
Potatoes. rs cents per bushel
Apples and peaches, Is cents per
bushel.
Bacon and hams, cents per pound.
Beef, III cents per pound.
Veal, mutton and pork the same as
beef.
Iowans, whether living in the cities
and towns or in the country, should be
interested in this question. Iowa is
essentially an agricultural state. Any
blow aimed to the agricultural inter-
ests affects the whole state. If the
tariff duty which enables the Iowa
farmer to sell his products in COM
petition with the products Of the cheap
Canadian lands is removed it can
easily be seen that the Iowa farmer
will be the loser.
OF course New England, manufac-
turing New England. wants free trade
in farm products, but such a policy

Editor County Record
Among the many good things.
very, very good things you and your
correspondents will contribute tins
week, please just squeeze a tiny cor
ner for the story of a good time at
the home of Mr. and Mrs W D Cox.
Mrs Cox, who is Captain OF the
young peoples and children's brig
ade of the Woman's Home Mission
society of Bethesda church, planned
a picnic for May p and well did the
brigade appreciate her thoughtful
kindness. They came with their
parents, and each was allowed the
privilege of inviting friend, and
come they did-carriages perilously
loaded down, buggies, bicycles and
pedestrians; but one lady very hum
bly, explained that her horse was
crippled before that morning. All
arrived in good time, the latest find
ing preparations going forward for
dinner, lemonade and ice cream.
First in order was the regular
business and devotional meeting OF
the brigade, the programme being
prepared by the Captain; the meet
ing was conducted BY the President.
Miss Daisy Owens, with Miss Garnet
Graham as secretary. Miss Alice
Eaddy's recitation on the import
ance of small gifts, ,kindnesses, minor
duties and loving thoughts showed
careful preparation and was strictly
in keeping with the spirit of home
missions.
Little Miss Marie Graham follow
ed in her quaint, sweet way, with a
. recitation and prayer. Miss Annie
Mary Epps read leafet on indus
trial work among the little mill
girls. Miss Marie Graham read a
paper ON the need Of mission help
in the Florida Keys. Mr. Eaddy,
the Sunday-school superintendent,
spoke a few words of encouragement,
telling the brigade how necessary it
was that each individual life should
tell for the Master and the right.
Mrs w o Thomas spoke on the i'm
portance of momentary will power
in the work; others praised and en-
couraged them; one told them that
they were pushing the adult society
so closely that they have them doing
double quick" to reach the goal
ahead.
In the afternoon Mr. John Brown
gave a lecture on the height, the
depth, the breadth of the influence
of woman, the love of the mother,
of the sister, of the wife and daugh'
ter and of the grand and noble work
of the nurse when the sick and
