In the early days Dakota territory was
la great place for insurance companies
organized at home and capitalized for
q million or two dollars-of wind. A
poor farmer came in with a moving
tale Of horse killed BY lightning and
for which the insurance company re-
fused to pay. The story was corro-
borated by a neighbor-an ex- sheriff.
The next paper waded into that fraud
company to the extent of half a col

AN IOWA SONG.
Waterloo Times-Tribune. ]

II there is one thing, more than an
other, that Iowa needs it is a state
song-a song of Iowa and for Iowa
people. We all love Iowa and, at
home or abroad, we love to sing Iowa's
praises. What more fitting when one is
away from home and lonesome to
raise his voice and sing a song OF
Iowa. II one be in foreign land, he may
mum my Country 'Tis Of Thee. Sweet
Land of Liberty, of Thee 1 Sing" etc,
1t. One feels his home in those words
and the sweet refrain. how that does
inspire, sink In, as it were, and com
fort!
Passing sentiment, and viewing the
matter as an advertising proposition,
there is nothing better to call atten-
ton to ones state than sweet words
and inspiring music.
Iowa now has song. The words
are beautiful and might pass, but the
tune vii! never do.
To relate a circumstance:
Tuesday, in a hall in historic Bos-
ton, after lunch, with 1000 persons
present from all of the United States,
some parts of Canada and England, the
Kimball's Dairy Farmer quartet, or
ganized by Mr.. Andrews and composed
of Waterloo singers, sang Iowa"
Could you imagine anything more hui
initiating than when after the conciu-
sion OF the song and after the applause
had died away to hear the delega ton
from Maryland begin singing their
state song, my Maryland, My Mary
land" to the same tune? Iowa had
stolen the tune Of Maryland. The words
of the Iowa song were written around
this tune. Our song was an imitation
base theft-what wonder that 1t left
Iowans standing shame-faced after the
real owners started upon the hrst
strains of their official state song.
Yes, Iowa needs state song. One
full Of sentiment: one with touching
words and tune; one with music tune
full and inspiring. 1t would be worth
much to Iowa.

THREsHING MACHINE FACTS.
ISioux CITY 1o,1rnaI1

SlouR NItI JOI!lldl
The batch of tilresning machine re-
ports from South Dakota printed in the
Journal the other day is reassuring
from a local standpoint. They come
from thirteen counties. representing
every section of the state east of the
Missouri river. and bear every evil
dence Of veracity. They show. rot
indeed a big yield. but a better yield
tran was generally anticipated. and IL
most cases excellent quality.
When present and prospective prices
are considered the net result to the
farmer appears in even more favorab bic
light. The higher market price per
hushel that is assured will go a long
way toward making good for the
smaller number of bushels.
In one point South Dakota is in the
same boat with Iowa: The straw is
short and there will be marked def
cheney there as here in feed from this
source for live stock. This will be
felt because there az here straw has
been more and more utilized for feed
in recent years. 1t will count all the
more this year. because there is
shortage Of hay. But every wisp there
is of it will be consumed and will have
a higher money value.
But when it comes to the question OF
grain yield. these threshing machine
facts are what count.

manhood to refuse to insult his white
women hotel help Ivy asking them to
serve the colored people. He was right.
He could not and should not nave done
otherwise. a hotel keeper who enter
tains negroes in his hosiery has no
right to ask white men to ever again
stay in the same house and white men,
that is. 80 per cent OF them, will re-
fuse to patronize hotel that enter
tains negroes. The place to entertain
those negroes who come into white
towns to give concerts and lectures
and like entertainments, is IN the
homes of the people who ask the ne
groes to come to town. The colored
people would not go to any town UNI
less they were asked to DO so. Some
body must do the asking. of make the
contract and arrangements for their
appearance. hence that somebody. or
these somenodies, should give the black
people food and shelter while the -Afri-
cans are in their midst. 1t is gross
injustice to ask the keeper of white
mans hotel 10 entertain negroes when
he has had absolutely nothing to do
with bringing the negroes to the town.
1t is an outrage and an insult to ask
white hotel keeper to ask or to COM
pei his white female help to wait on
negroes in any capacity.

There is nothing like teaching school

training for the ability to study char

successful prosecution OF any business

MAY ASK Will SONS DISMISSAL.

The prediction by Washington cor
respondents that the Moss committee
on exnerdttu-es In the agricultural de-
part7nent VIII recommend the dismissal
of Solicitor McCabe and the restoration
ef authority to bureau of chemistry In
n,,re food matters will be well received.
There Is very general desire to see
McCabe ousted. arising from the very
general belief that his position In the
denartmen was mainly intended and
used to prevent instead Of assist the
entorcem ent OF the pure food law. The
bureau OF chemistry IS the department
which is particularly charged with
pure food law enforcement and should
not be l,arnpered by such solicitors a S
McCabe. 1t should have authority to
order action by the legal department
and see that Its commands are carried
out rather than delayed and side
tracked by those who have interests

that the committee will severely reflect
on Secretary Wilson in It's report and

that popular demand and sentiment

PHYSICIAN SAID ECZEMA
CAME FROM TEETHING

''When my little girl was about eight
months old, she was taken with very
irritating breaking out, which came on
her face, neck and back. When she
first came down with it, it came in
little watery-like testers under her
eyes, and on her chin, then after a few
days it would dry down in scaly, white
scabs. In the daytime she was quite
worrysome and would dig and scratch
her face nearly all the time.
81 consulted our physician and
found she was suffering from eczema,
which he said came from her teething.
I used the ointment he gave me and
without any relief at all. Then I
wrote for book on Cuticura, and pur-
chased some Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment at the drug store. I did as
found directions in the Cuticura Book
let, and when she was one year old,
she was entirely cured. Now she is
three years and four months, and she
has never been troubled with eczema
since she was cured by the Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment.
