Joe Tinker OF the Cubs Is a man
With whom have fought many a
battle OF wits. and | am glad to
acknowledge that he has come out
Of the fuss with flying eolors on
many occasions.
There was a time when Tinker
was putty In my hands. HIS weak
ness was a low curve on the out
aide. and fed him low curves on
the outside SO often that ! had him
looking ike an invalid every time
he came to the plate.
Then Joseph went home one night
and ala a little deep thinking, lie
got a nice long bat. and took his
stand at least foot farther from
the plate. after That night OF medi-
tation. and then he had me.
From that day on Tinker became
one OF the most dangerous hatters
I ever faced. not because his natural
hitting ability had Increased. but
because he didn't propose 10 let the

The Crawford County Normal in

profitable session on Saturday of last
week. The enrolment reached nearly
two hundred and there was a very
earnest and attentive spirit through
out the whole session.
All of the meetings were held at
the college buildings, which have just
been refitted for next years work and

to the surroundings.
The faculty consisted of Prof. C. p.

Bess Eleanor Foster, of Wyoming,
formerly of Des Moines, who gave the

Now it is used as time to learn

make plans for the work OF the year
and find out what improvements we
may reasonably expect to make. In
the years past county superintendents
have found marked difference in the

Most Farmers Favor II.

| When one first thinks OF the Al.
berta country in Canada it seems a
long distance away from Denison, but
after all it is not as far as southern
Florida Los Angeles or the Puget
Sound country. Calgary, the chief
city OF Alberta, is perhaps less than
1900 miles northwest of St. Paul, and
can be readily reached in less than
two days time. On leaving Denison
at eight O'Clock on Monday night, the
writer was able to reach Calgary at
an early hour on Thursday morning,
and with the splendidly equipped pas
senger trains, little discomfort was
experienced on the trip.
We have heard some complaint
about the effects of the drouth in Iowa
this year, but We think there is less
cause for complaint here than in Min.

ing the slight yield OF small grain and
the prospective corn crop have been
somewhat exaggerated. The truth is
the crop Of small grain here was q
fairly good one, the quality being
above criticism. The chances are that
the corn crop will be larger and
better yield than was anticipated a
month ago. 1t is certain the yield Of
corn will be much larger and better
than in any of the states north or west
OF us. Minnesota can probably make
q better showing in its yield OF hay
and in having better fall pastures than
Iowa. but certainly it is not our equal
in other crops. South Dakota has
suffered generally on account OF the
drouth, and the same is true of North
ahS IN except in the eastern and
portions OF the state. But
the damage in North Dakota does not
approach that in South Dakota.

DEATH OF RESPECTED
Vail CITIZEN
Jeremiah Harmon Passes Away at Ripe
Age Of e2 Years-Lived in Craw-
ford Since 1866.
HELPED BUILD RAILROAD HERE
Father Of Sixteen Children. Twelve Of
Whom Are Living-Wife Died
Fourteen Years Ago.

On. Wednesday morning, August %

death of Jeremiah Harmon, after an
illness of short duration, at the ripe
old age of 50 years.

erary, Ireland, and emigrated to this
country when boy. He arrived in
/, Chicago when the first railroad was
being built west and worked on this
road from this time until it was fin
ished to Council Bluffs. In 1866 while
working on the railroad at Denison,
he purchased 12O acres in Milford
township. in section eleven, from
Tracy Chapman. Sr. The deed was
recorded by VIM. Dobson, county re-
corder at that time, and was acknowl-
edged by A. d. Molony, district clerk
of the court. The price paid for this
land was $500. This farm is said to
be worth at the present time $14O per
acre.
railroad until 1874, when he, with his
family, moved onto his Milford town
ship farm, where he remained until
a few months ago when he purchased
"a home in Vail, and st which place he
with his two youngest daughters were
living at the time Of his death. He
was married about 1858 to Bridget
Carey, who shared his joys and his
|sorrows until fourteen years ago. She
died on the old homestead in Milford
township and was laid to rest in the
Vail cemetery. To this union were
born sixteen children, twelve Of whom
are living, two of the children being
buried at Council Bluffs and two at
Vail. The children living are asssol-

from her. Miss Casey's classes in
music were filled and penmanshir
really needed more room. The heav
Ter subjects of psychology, civics and
parliamentary practice were presented
ably by Professor Fellows to large
classes. Professor VanNess found
plenty to do with those old bugbears
Of the schOolrOom, arithmetic and
grammar, in addition to which rural
didactics and grading OF the rural
schools fell to his lot. Professor
Hahn gave an excellent outline or dia.
gram of United States history, but the
most of his work was in lectures be-
fore the whole body of teachers. His
long experience made these very
profitable and enjoyable. Professor
|COlgrove's work was all in the form
of lectures, of which he gave two
each day. His description of the poor
teachers that he had had when he was
a pupil in the rural schools was vivid
land pointed out the way in which
some teachers fail, and also showed
how not to fail.
Professor Pearsons, of Drake uni
versity, gave two lectures, one Tues
day afternoon on the subject Ser
mons from Poets" and Tuesday even
ing on Realities in American Life"
Both lectures were bubbling over with
wit and good sense and held the close
attention of the audience. The lee
ture given by Professor Hahn on
Thursday evening on ".The Law of the
Gang" was one of the finest of the
course. 1t is a pity that more of the
parents We're not present to hear it.
Many fathers and mothers would find
food in this lecture for careful thought
and possibly the solution of some
troublesome questions.
On Friday afternoon the graduation
exercises of the rural school pupils
were held. The class consisted of
thirty-nine who have finished the
eighth grade. Nearly all of the class
were present to receive their d.
plomas. The address was given by
Professor Colgrove. Those who heard
Professor Colgroye last year and
those who have been hearing him this
year can assure you that you never
miss getting treat when he rises
to speak. He does not speak by the
y ard. but because he has some thing to
say that will be good for you to hear.

of small grain and the quality is saiG
to be very good. While the yield in
the southeastern portion OF the state
was better than the western
portion, the rust has played havoc with
the grain and largely destroyed its
market value.
In the province OF Saskatchewan
Canada, the crop is not up to what
it was last year. The quality is no
better and the yield will fall short OF
what it was in 1910. Manitoba will
not have as large a yield per acre and
the quality is no better Than last year.
In portions of both of these provinces
the frost is doing some harm, but not
to any great extent, because grain was
far advanced before the frost, came.
In the province OF Alberta the yield
lis larger perhaps, than for many
years past and the quality is up to
the standard The crop is what may
be said to be a bumper" crop, and
unless the frost overtakes the grain
before it has ripened, the yield will,
lproba bly, be larger than any other
year. Winter wheat was being har-
vested a week ago and the spring
wheat harvest will be on within a
week. The crops all around were later
in ripening this year than other years
on account of the excessive moisture
which has prevailed for the last six
weeks. The grain kept on growing
when it should have been ripening. In
the section of the country where there
was failure of crops last year on ac-
count of the drouth an unusually large
crop will be harvested this year. 1t is
the same in Canada as in the United
States. The farmers are running the
risk of drouth and excessive moisture.
While there are hundreds and thou-
sands of American farmers rushing to
Canada to buy land, many of them are
bound to experience disappointment
because OF drouth and other urfavor-
able conditions. One hears of fabulous
profits made in farming in that coun-
try, and at the same time hears OF
failures just as pronounced. The chief
advantage for the young man there
is cheap lands to be bought on long
time, but the same advantages are Of
fered in many of the western states
|of this country. We certainly would
mot advise man, who is able to own
land in Iowa, to take the chances of
going to a new country where he is

to pass through Denison on the Illi-
,nois Central about nine O'Clock on the
2Sth OF September, going from Coun-
ell Bluffs to Fort Dodge and from there
on east. The citizens of 7Denison
should make an effort to have the
president stop off here a few minutes
at least, in order that our people can
have a chance to see him. If the pur.
pose is to have the train stop here for
a few minutes, prompt action should
be taken by the Commercial club or
some other organization.
