grading purposes. The monotony
of the watchman's life would be
thus minimized.
The State farms land to consist
of the following :-Ove r fl O W, or
marsh land; barren lands possible OF
making productive by irrigation, or
in other ways; unsold portions of
cut-over, and timber-lands not held
in reserves. These could be de-
veloped and sufficient portions re-
tanned as would meet the expense of

Assistants. Assistants to be under
direction of Board of Control and to
include; Forest Inspector, Canals,
Locks, Dredging Inspector, Farms
Inspector, and, in the President of
the Board of Control, an Inspector

toned men.
At such Canal and lock entrances
as erected, toll should be required
of users thereof. From sales of
stock in forest division and, after de-
velopment, returns on farms pro-
duce, these (returns) being reserv-
ed to defray expenses of Board and
Assistants. minimum of expense
to the state would thus, in time be
assured.
AS the period of six months or
one year on probation would per-
haps be a. more or less general adop-
ton, this would ensure ample time
! for the man to work out the fine by
performing the labors required of
him on the rivers; the forest, or the
farms work.
The felony, as now stated is
against the peace and dignity" of
the State; the State assumes RESPONSE
bilities of the prosecution, and should
reap such possible return through
the labor of the man rather than the
county. This it does now, and should
continue to do unde probation
measures.
! No discrimination should be per-
mitted. Every individual to whom
probation could apply should be re-
quired to work out, not pay or have
to pay for him, the amount of the
imposed fine. Each days work
should be computed at, say, one dol

the man be skilled mechanic, or
common laborer, or familiar with
the particular work to which he
may be assigned; and each individual
upon completing his labors equal to
the total of his fine, should be allow
ed to continue five or ten days long
er, or until he could obtain or be
, assisted in obtaining employment
approved by the proper authorities

time as he shall have labored over
and above the total of his fine, he
should be paid at the same rate as
when laboring toward the efface-
, ment of that fine, and be given that

City And Country Babies.

Mrs. Mary L. Watts, the head of the
Iowa State Mothers Congress, is quoted
as saying, in comment on the award 70
a Des Moines youngster of the first
prize at the baby health contest held in
connection with the Iowa State Fair:
The point l see in the result is that
city children rank higher physically
than country children. Why? Because
mothers are better informed and give
more time to the cause of the children s
studies, diet and so forth"
In consideration of the interesting
question raised by these alleged re-
marks it is well to bear in mind that
only seventeen of the fifty babies en-
tered at the contest were from the coun-
try districts of Iowa. The thirty three
Others were from Des Moines. Thirty
three out of fifty is large proportion;
perhaps Des Moines baby ought to
have won the prize. Even had the pro-
portions been reversed so as to make
seventeen from that city and thirty
three from the rest of the state, Des
Moines would have had large repre-
sentation. Iowa is largely an agricul-
tural state, and it doubtless has plenty
of fine babies on its farms as well as in
its towns.
City life and country life are about
equal now in balancing of advantages
for the development of human life. Few
city boys are reared in hotel bed
rooms" and few jewellers in the coun.

Chase And Myers Have Quit.

A short time ago we made mention of
the fact that Charlie Chase of the At
lantic News had sold his paper to his
son and quit the business. Now it is
stated that Sherm Myers of the Anita
Tribune has done likewise. These
gentlemen have occupied commanding
positions in the newspaper field in Cass
county for many years. Both have been
vigorous as well as venomous writers,
which they kept up till the last issue.
They were radical and fearless in the
presentation of their opinions. In poll.
tics they were standpatters, but like
some progressiyes when they failed to
get their man nominated at the last
congressional convention they bolted
and fought Judge Green's election with
an energy and persistence worthy of a
better cause. Wonder if their losing
out has had anything to do with their
stepping out. Here's for good luck and
success to both of these eminent
editorial gentlemen.

Sober Iowa. Great State.

The Daily Capital says: "A man may
ride day after day on Iowa railway
trains and never see drunken man.
He may attend reunion after reunion
and Chautauqua following Chautauqua
and meyer see or hear of a drunken man
on the grounds. He will seldom meet a
man on train, even partially under
the influence of liquor. Iowa is surely
a great state. These conditions can be
found in no other state in the union.
This is brief statement of very
important fact; and one that many of
our people cannot fully appreciate. An
Iowa man back from California for a
visit, in addressing a Woodman picnic
called attention to this matter and
stated that in the west every public
gathering of that kind had a fringe
of 'ragtag and bobtail' such as is
never seen in the state of Iowa. What
a revelation it would be to the people
from many other states to attend the
state fair at Des Moines with its i'm.
mense crowds of people of all classes,
sober, well dressed and well behaved
like Sunday School picnic.

The Power OF Personality.

Not every person could if he would,

atty. Some by nature have more
pleasing or forceful personalities than
others. Those unfortunate in this re-
spect surely should see what they miss
in point of influence and ought to try
to make up as far as possible for the
deficit. Most anyone could be pleasing
if he would and affability counts for
much in strong personality. Others
think it is not worth while to make
themselves hkable to their fellows. but
that is great mistake. The world will
do great deal more for the man il
likes than for the one it does not like,
and the world is not in the habit OF
forcing its likes on anyone. 1t is q
very cheerful old world, of course. bat
it wastes little time on the man who
spurns its good will.
1t is not only the privilege, but the
duty of everyone to be as likeable as
possible. To do so is not necessarily
to be patronizing. That never
strengthens or helps personality
How. often we hear such expressions
as this, even in business: "Oh,

good fellow l suppose I'll give it to

traordinary talents intellectually, often

in the world than his brother of bril-.
liant genius, but forbidding presence.
People like him and like to do things
for him. They prefer to do things to
the other fellow. The power of per.
sonality is an indispensable asset in
the economy of success, especially il
the getting of that success brings one
into direct touch with the outside
world. Many a public speaker wins,
not so much by what he says as by
the way he says it. 1t is the personal
touch that gives the effective finish

Morse Treatment
For Cancer

III taken in time by the course of
treatment given by DR.. G.. o. Morse.
Cancer is supposed by many to be in
durable. That this supposition is in
correct is shown by the number of cures
thar are being effected both in the
United States and in England.
1t is a fact, however, that under the
treatment of DIR. Morse, he has larger
percentage of cures to his credit than
any other in the world
These cures are effected without the
use of escharotics.
If the patient has already been
operated on for cancer, this treatment
will prevent any recurrence of the dis
ease.
WE MAKE NO CHARGES FOR
EXAMINATION AND DIAGNOSE
OF CASES, AND IF YOU CANNOT
BE CURED BY THIS TREATMENT,
WE WILL FRANKLY TELL YOU
so; BUT EVEN IN INCURABLE
CASES, WE CAN PREVENT ANY
FURTHER PAIN, WITHOUT THE
USE OF MORPHINE.
In large percentage of cases here
a cure is impossible, we can alse stop
any further progress of the disease, and
thus prolong life without further pain
or suffering. We treat you on the mer-
its of our cure and not by ''quackery."
If You are afflicted with this dread
disease, or have friend who is, don't
fail to call or write us for particulars.
