SPEED CRAZY.

The public which complains against
speed madness and the newspapers
which condemn it have their own part
In cultivating it. First Of all we de-
mand rapid transit. We cal! Tor the
fastest train and the speediest vessel.
We want the best horse in the livery
barn and prefer the big sixty morse
machine with its speed possibilities OF
seyenty-five miles an hour. The pub
lie demands telegra phic information as
to broken speed records and the news
naners buy and print it and rush II TO
the street demand and the subscriber.
The Titanic sought a record OF one
kind and made one OF another KIND
But suppose she had broken the trans
Atlantic record. The newspapers would
have been full of II. the passengers
would have thrown out chests and a
million persons who never expect TO De
passengers on any vessel larger than a
TOW steamer on an inland lake would
have read the news with avidity Most
men read the StllTlHS dcCoUAtS " '-'
mad whirl around the Indianapolis
speedway. Thousands watched the bull
letin boards. An extraordinary fast
run by a locomotive engineer makes
him famous in print. The aviator who
performs some especially death
defying" cat becomes a public charac-
ter.
Speed madness is not confined to the
speed maniacs who stand at the rud-
der or sit at the steering wheels. We
are all guilty. We bring up the boys
in an atmosphere Of speed insanity. W.
talk of it at home, read it in the press
report, demand it in the cars we con
slider for purchase. The time is speed
crazy.

A SUGGESTION FROM AUSTRALIA.

The province Of Victoria is 10 en-
bark upon a new and probably effec-
tive campaign to settled her areas Of
uncultivated lands. A large tract con-
tieuous to the city of Melbourne
awaits settlers. The government has
within a few years spent sixteen and
one-half millions on irrigation projects
and reclaimed these lands. The unirrl-
gated value of the lands is set at from
$40 to SIS per acre and they will be
sold to settlers at their unirrigated
value. Victoria wants settlers and OF
the right kind.
To encourage these the government
will build houses up to the value OF
$3.50 and allow the settler any time
within fifteen years in which to pay for
them. The land is sold on 31s year
terms, at Az Per cent interest. NO IN
dividual Is permitted to take up land
exceeding $4,000 in value. To come W
to the terms of the contract the land
purchased on time must be improved
within three years 10 at leaSl ~ PEI
cent of Its value. and of the capital
required to accomplish this the govern
ment Will advance so per cent.
One instance of how 1t works is put
forward as typical. 1t is the case Of q
settler who went into fruits. He pos
sessed forty acres. There were sever
acres of vines, four acres In apricots
three in peaches. one in pears ant
enc in nectarines, making a total o!
sixteen acres in fruit. The income Of
this settler is $4,000, his expenditures
$3.50. Settlers are coming into the
country rapidly from England and the
continent Of Europe. 1t may be inter
esting to know that, according to thi!
informant, the Victorian government
in its desire to obtain a first elias!
lot Of settlers, will, when necessary
advance 80 per cent of the passag
money of the immigrant and give hin
I'VE years in which to pay it back.

MANY FARM CHANGES.
IWilliams wasp.J

Nowhere in the state of Iowa can
any locality boast OF 50 many farm
changes in So short a time. Farms
around Williams have been changing
almost as fast as our merchants eS-
change goods for money. The prices
have not been boosted above the actual
worth OF the land as is done il many
places where land changes hands. Land
is selling around Williams from SIS
per acre 10 $3.50 per acre with good
Improvements and We'll tiled. The own
ers get from 81 to SIS per acre Tor rent

liams are the happy possessors of au-
tomobiles. Money is being made on
Hamilton county Land around Will
liams. A farm purchased mere AT any
price will WELD the owner fire gain
within a few years. The land around
Williams is more productive than in
any part OF the county.

Secure in their domain.

Flood heart and soul with hsht
Or with a ruder touch display
Some ancient mark Of blight
They come at morn. they come at noon
A mist upon our cares;
Our minds to passing tasks a't"iie'

A restless stream they flow.

"Or, rather, to put 1t the other way" he adds,

Anglo-Saxon fought wars on sea and land and went
