SENATOR KENYON HERE.
New United States Senator From
Iowa Makes His First Visit
to DecOrah.

Decorah has been honored today
with a visit from Hon. William S.
Kenyon of Fort Dodge, Iowa's junior
United States Senator, the successor
to the late Senator j. P. Dolliver.
Senator Kenyon was at Clermont yes
terday, attending the celebration of
the fiftieth wedding anniversary of
Governor and Mrs. William Larrabee,
and last night Hon. VIM. Larrabee, Jr.
and the Senator came to Decorah on
the Rock Island, and spent the night
and morning here, the Senator Ieav-
ing at ten o'clock for Clay county to
deliver an address.
1t was the new Senator's first visit
to Decorah, and while here he had
an opportunity to meet a number of
our people, who were very much i'm
pressed with him. He is one of the
big men of the nation, his work in
trust litigation giving him an inter-
national reputation, and his ability
has been recognized at home by CIV
ing him the highest Office in the gift
of the state.

CONCERT FRIDAY NIGHT
DecOrah's Testimonial to Prof. C. A,
Sperati and Band Friday
Night.
GRAND HOMECOMING CONCERT.
DecOrah's Reception to Splendid Orr
ganizatiOn After Triumphal Tour
Will be Enthusiastic.

Since the announcement last week
of the plans formulated to tender
Prof. Carlo A. Sperati and his mag
nificent Luther College Concert Band
cordial homecoming reception up
on their return from a remarkably
successful tour of the western states
and the Pacific coast, the people of
the city and surrounding country
have Joined heartily in the move
ment, and there is every indication
that the reception on Friday will be
the most enthusiastic of anything of
this character ever held in the city.
The fact that Prof. Sperati has
built up such a remarkable organiza-
tion in this city, composed of class
of young men which changes from
year to year, the splendid personnel
of the members of the band, and
the unusual achievements they have
made on this second western tour
of this band, during which they have
spread the name of Decorah before
many thousands of people, have I'm
pressed all Decorah with desire to
show the appreciation felt on all
sides with a substantial recognition
and welcome home
Upon their arrival in the after
noon the band will be met at the
station by the Decorah Merchants
Band and the committee which will
probably meet them at Calmar, and
the citizens generally are invited to
come out and join in the reception.
In the evening will be the grand
Homecoming concert at the Grand
opera house, which ought to be pack
CD q q und bted,y sill be. IIers
Mayor Daubney will officially well
come the band home, the Winneshiek
County Sangerferbund will sing, and
the band will render one of their
concerts, which have been given with
such great success throughout the
west
Every citizen of Decorah and for
miles about should come in to this
concert. Get your seats early at E.
j. Parman's. Let's make the boys
feel that we are proud of them.

When Two and Two Make -Four,

Marshalltown Times-Republican:
Two and two make four and two
from four leave two. That is gen.
orally not open to argument. But
some farmers who would not ques-
tion the multiplication table conduct
important departments on the farm
in direct defiance of elementary
arithmetic.
An experiment conducted at the
Minnesota experiment station two
years ago is a good illustration.
They took COWS of dairy breeds,
COWS half way between" and cows
of the beef breeds. 1t cost the beef
COW II cents per pound to make but
ter, while the dairy cow made it for
10 to II cents, and the half way"
COW made it for II to IA cents per
pound.
Most men weigh their grain from
the separator. Bulk is not trusted.
Oats may weigh four or under or
over. The man who raises oats
wants to know. He is not deceived
by the bulk. He knows that the
grain will be weighed at the elevator
and that his returns for his labor
will be upon the food value of the
grain. And, nine times out of ten
the same farmer is contented to take
the cows word for it.
If butter from one cow costs IA
cents a pound and from another II
cents pound how long will 1t take
the beef COW to eat her head off in a
dairy herd? How long would the
farmer trade with the grocer who
was asking IT cents for articles
which his competitor was selling for
IA? How much corn would the farm
er buy at a fixed price per pound
without weighing it?
Why not test twice a month and
check up on the COW? She is trading
her milk for care and feed. She
costs so much every month. Why
not find out whether she is dealing
fair? What's the use of raising
more corn to the acre to feed into
COWS which refuse to render back
fair return?

carried over to the st. Cloud hotel.
He was injured in the back and

go to press it is impossible to tell
how serious his injuries are, but he
will at least be laid up for some time
to come. Under the circumstances it
is fortunate that the accident was

mended to congress by Postmaster
General Hitchcock. His plan is to

Possibly it will be based on the

will not go unheeded. The flight must

ton, Country Districts Drop
Behind.

FollOWlng the preliminary an
nouncements, which have been made
by the census bureau from time to
time, of the aggregate population of
all places in the state of Iowa, as
enumerated at the thirteenth census,
taken as of April Is, 1910, Census
Director Durand issued Friday
statement giving interesting addi-
tional details, of which the more i'm
portant relate to the states urban
and rural population.
The territory of the state CLASH
fled as urban in 1910 contained $780,
054 inhabitants, or 30.6 per cent of
the total population, while I,544,717
inhabitants, or 69.4 per cent, lived
in rural territory. The territory in
1900 similarly classified as urban
that is, the cities and towns then
having $500 inhabitants or more
contained 572,3S6 inhabitants, or
25.6 per cent of the total population,
while 1,659,467 inhabitants, or 74.4
per cent, lived in rural territory.
There has thus been a considerable
increase in the proportion of urban
population, while the proportion in
rural territory showed a decrease at
each of the three censuses named.
The population of Iowa is 2,224,-
III. Compared with a population of
2,231,S53 in 1900. This represents
a decrease during the past decade of
1852, or three-tenths of l per cent.
The percentage of increase for the
state during the preceding decade
0S90-1900) was 1871 per cent.
Iowa has los cities, of which the
largest, f. sioiAe=. has q popui4tion
of 80.36S, and the next largest, Sioux
City, population of 47,S2S. Besides
Sioux City there are six cities in the
state having from $4,000 to $4,000
inhabitants. Nine cities have from
10000 to $4,000, nine from 5000
to 10000, forty-two from $500 to
5000 and forty less than $500 in
habitants. The aggregate population
of the los cities is 74S,15S, or 1915
per cent of the total population of
the state.
OF the eight cites having over 25,-
600 population, Waterloo shows the
highest percentage of increase during
the last decade-namely, 112.2 per
cent, and Dubuque the lowest. 6.1
per cent. Three cities-Des Moines,
Sioux City and Waterloo-show a
higher rate of increase during the
last decade, G900-1910), than dur
ing the preceding decade, (1S9O-
1900.
Twenty-eight counties have in
creased in population during the last
decade, the percentages of increase
ranging from two-tenths OF 1 per
cent in Jasper county to Ala per
cent in Monroe county, and the abso-
lutte increases from fifty-eight in Jas
per county to 27,S14 in Polk county.
Seventy-one counties have decreased
in population during the last decade,
the percentages of decrease ranging
from eight-tenths of l per cent in
Page county to 19.1 per cent in
Adams county.
The land area of the state is 55,-
$50 square miles. The average num-
Der of persons to the square mile IS
forty; in 1900 and 1890 it was 4O.2
and 34.4, respectively.
