Concert Great Success.

The Luren Singing Society scored
another success at their annual con-
cert at the grand last Wednesday
evening. A large and appreciative
audience was in attendance, and
many words of praise were heard on
all sides. Prof. Carlo A. Sperati has
acted as conductor of the society for
some time past, and his we'll known
ability as a conductor has brought
this singing society into the front
ranks. Miss Emma Christian pre-
sided at the piano and received well
merited applause. The ladies double
quartette and the Kinder Symphonic
added much to the pleasure Of the
audience. Last but not least was
Emil Johansen's "Lur" solo, which
was roundly applauded. Taken al
together it was one of the most sue
cessful concerts this popular society
has given here.

Saturday.

Last Saturday representative L.
M. Enger visited Ossian, Calmar and
Castalia, and held three very sue

Through n Ns sent out by the

mittee has learned that at least 1O7
telephones are installed in the pri-

that this is species of petty graft

be dispensed with without great det-

Number of Fast Games Played. Bows
Report Fine Trip and Excel
lent Treatment.

The Luther basket ball team made
their annual trip, leaving Decorah on
Feb. q. The first game of the trip
was played against st. Olaf on the
Carleton floor. Neither side scored
during the first seven minutes of
play. The game was slow and it was
marred by frequent fouling. st. Olaf
succeed in defeating Luther for the
first time in three years. The crowd
abused the visiting team, jeering and
missing ait every player Score St.
Olaf %, Luther -.
Luther met her second defeat at
the hands of the Carleton quintet.
The Carleton players were light but
fast, and they showed their super
iOrity over Luther by winning the
game by the score of 81 to IL.
Luther won her only victory on
the trip when she defeated the St.
Paul Y. M. G. A. This was without
a doubt the fastest and cleanest game
that Luther has played this year.
Score Luther 81, Y. Nj. C. A. %.
The Gustavus Adolphus floor was
very small and had no side lines.
The floor resembled large cage, as
1t had wire netting for walls. The
players and officials were turned
loose in this cage and the game was
on. The game was very rough, time
being repeatedly called on account of
players sustaining injuries. Gusta-
vus Adolphus won this game by the
score of 81 to 20.
The boys returned Tuesday morn
ing and reported fine treatment from
the Carleton and Gustavus Adolphus
Colleges.

SEED CORN WARNING
Tests Should be Made Now to Insure
Good Seed.
FARMERS SHOULD TAKE HEED.
Des MOines Commercial Club Calls
Attention to the Danger That
Threatens Wealth of State
Coming Season.

Warning of the danger that threat
ems the corn crop of Iowa this year
has been sent out to all sections of
the state by the Des Moines CONNER
cial Club. On Monday the club will
have 10000 of these warnings ready
for distribution. They will be print
ed circulars for use as inserts by job
bers and bankers. They will be sup
piled in any quantities desired to
jobbers and bankers in any city Of
the state who will use them as in
serts in sending out their Iowa mail.
This offer applies to any point in the
state. The circular insert reads in
part as follows:
Seventy million dollars is the
value of one-half of an average Iowa
corn crop You will realize the value
of half this crop to the business in
terests of Iowa. Do you know that
Iowa stands to lose this in crop value
this season except that heroic meth
ods are resorted to. The extreme
wet of the early spring and the
drouth of the summer months COM
bined last year to kill the silk and
tassel on much of the Iowa crop,
with the result that a very large part
of the 1911 corn was not pollenized,
and is dead. At the Ames Junior
short course the supposedly best corn
from the 1911 crop entered in COM
petitive classes for prizes, when test
ed out showed less than IS per cent
of it fit for planting. What about
the rest of the seed corn? 1t takes
about 1900 ears to plant seventy-five
acres. Why not encourage your farm
er to test out until he secures this
number of good ears? Why plant
barren ears, 500 kernels to the ear
and sixteen ears to the acre, when
a simple test will secure seed that
will grow. With tester you can
make a test of ten to twenty ears
from seed selections of twenty to
forty of your farmers in one week.
You can demonstrate to them wheth- j.
er their seed is good or not. In a
month you can do this for 100 farm
ers. Use the rural phones or the
local newspapers to get the sample
ears. Give them the results on the
basis of 500 kernels to the ear or
sixteen ears to the acre. Urge them
to make complete tests. There is no
good seed corn for sale. All seed
this year must come from the farm
er's crib. You can make the crop in
your vicinity by availing yourself Of
the test. Do it now. In thirty days
the farmer will be getting into the
field and will not make the tests"
The Standard Seed Tester Co. Of
Decorah has one of the very best
testers on the market today. 1t is
used by the agricultural college at
Ames, and has proven an invaluable
asset to hundreds and hundreds of
farmers. Now is the time to test
your corn.

THE OTHER SIDE.

Rockford Register: Terrible as
was the hanging of five men In Chi
cago the other day, more terrible is
the appalling list of crimes in which
some 500 innocent victims in that
city and vicinity in q little more
than two years, or % a month, have
suffered death at the hands of such
human vampires, not one Of whom Ia
this period of time has been brought
to the gallows In ,expiation of his
crimes. Clearly this awful record
cannot be laid at the door Of capital
punishment; just as clearly what
ever punishment has been mcted out
to these Offenders has been INSULT
cient to check the tide of murderous
crime. But even more appalling than
the crimes themselves is the lethargy
of society regarding the conditions
which allow them thus to flourish
long drawn out legal procedure due
to shyster lawyers. corrupt jurymen
and biased judges which so often
results in the miscarriage. IL not in
the utter defeat of justice. When
public sentiment becomes so aroused
as to demand that murderers be Civ
en- swift and summary justice-cap-
ital punishment II need be-the riot
OF homicddes such as disgrace Chi
cago at present will be checked. To
be sure capital punishment is a ter
rible thing and the necessity for 1t is
greatly to be deplored, but let the
maudm sentimentalists who bewail
the fate of those Chicago murderers
and who, in all probability would
have been first to sign petitions for
their pardon, had they been given a
life sentence-let these people re-
member the vain pleadings of the
defenceless victim Of this gang OF
brutes that his life might be spared
for the sake of his wife and baby at
home and of those Of the hundreds Of
other innocent victims who every
year give their lives to satisfy the
criminal Instincts of like fiends. So
ctety should be protected even at the
cost Of capital punishment-un-
ernngly and promptly administered.

POST COMING
Committee Has Reported FavOrably
ON Bill Providing for Limited
Parcels Post.
OPPOSED BY MANY INTERESTS.
Many Think That it is the Entering
Wedge That Will Result i'm
Universal Measure.

UNIVERSAL Measure.
| The parcels post bill will soon be
before congress and it looks very
much as though the proposed meas
ure would be passed. Following ia
an outline Of the bill, which has
created nationwide discussion for a
number of years:
| THAT on all rural mail delivery
routes of the United States until
June 30, 1914, the postmaster at
the starting point of such route shall
receive and deliver to the carrier or
carriers of said routes all articles,
parcels or packages not prohibited
to the mails by law and falling un-
der the definition of fourth class
matter and not weighing in excess of
eleven pounds, for transportation
and delivery on said routes only;
and the carriers shall receive on in
termediate points on all routes such
mail matter of the fourth class for
delivery on their respective routes
only.
Postage shall be paid on all arti-
cles, parcels or packages entitled to
transportation under the provisions
of this act as matter of the fourth
class on rural mail delivery routes
only at the following rates. One
cent for each two ounces or less. 2
cents for more than two ounces but
not more than four ounces, 3 cents
for more than four ounces but not
more than eight ounces, cents for
more than eight ounces but not more
than twelve ounces, 5 cents for more
than twelve ounces but not more
than a pound, and cents per pound
for each additional pound or frac-
tion thereof up to and including a
total Of eleven pounds"
This would make the maximum
Echarge for q parcel over the rural
POSt 20 cents.
Another interesting provision of
the bill is that 1t reduces the general
fourth class rate to IL cents a pound
and increases the limit of weight to
eleven pounds, the rate now being
16 cents and the limit being four
pounds.
Under existing conditions Uncle
Sam often carries parcels through
his mails for foreign senders and re-
ceives them at lower rate than he
charges his own citizens for domestic
services and of greater weight than
would be permissible at home.
The anomaly of doing things for
the foreign user of the mails that
are not done for the domestic user
would cease if congress adopted the
bill as reported to the house.
In addition to these changes. the
postal appropriation bill provides for
the classification of the railway mail
clerks-an end which they have been
struggling for many years to attain |;
removes the so-called gag regulation
hampering organization In the CLASH
fed postal service and interfering
with the presentiment of grievances
to congressman by members of that
service and prohibits. the dismissal
of any employe in the classified SER
vice without written statement OF
cause and the allowance of a reason
able time for written answer. both
statements to be kept on file for in
formation.

'T0MEN AS NATURAL ENEMIES
Why This Unfortunate Condition
 Must Exist.

"The average woman now begins ultimately with the marriage cam paign. She makes many discoveries which she admits frankly to herself She comes to many conclusions" says lnez Haynes Gilmore in Harper's Ba gar, which sink unnoticed into hel instance, is her natural career, then men are her natural prey.
 But unfortunately there are never enough men in her world to go round and of those from whom she may hope to choose some are much more desir able than others. Naturally she pre- fers the desirable ones-i. e., the eligibles But-and here she runs against her first obstacle-every oth CT single woman in her circle has come to the same conclusion. From the instant she realizes this she must declare war on every other mem Der of her sex.
 Men must often wonder at that mi mute and merciless examination to which, on first meeting, every woman submits every other wom an. Men must often marvel at the power Of quick observation which women always develop in these cir eumstances. This is only the swift interrogation with which warrior surveys the arms of his opponent Women are forever discovering new and complex weapons in the posses sion of rivals. And, perhaps, the most terrifying element in the situa ton is psychological-her sense of baffiment, in that she cannot judge ot women for men any more than they can judge of men for her. Every oth CT woman becomes her enemy. To succeed in her world she must play a lcne hand and cut-throat game"

THE CHlLDREN'S HEALTH

In observing the physical character lstics of her children, the careful moth- CT soon learns that health is depend ent on the regularity of the bowels. When the bowels become clogged with the stomach's refuse, loss of appetite, restlessness, irritability, and similar wilderness of disorder are soon appar- ent. Keep the bowels regular and a healthy, happy child Is assured.
 At the first sign of constipation the mother should administer a mild laXa- tive to carry off the eongested waste from the stomach that is fermenting and forcing poisonous gases into the system. A simple compound of laXa- tive herbs with pepsin is highly recom- mended as being very mild, yet posi- tive, in its action, teaspoonful at bedtime usually serving to bring an easy, thorough, natural movement next morning. This compound is known as Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin and is sold by druggists everywhere for soc bottle. A larger bottle, put up especially for the family medicine chest, costs one dollar.
 The use of salts and violent purga- tives and cathartics should be avoid ed. They are too harsh and drastic, tending to upset the entire system. Write to Dr. w. B. Caldwell, 203 West St, Monticello, H., for a trial bottle of his Syrup Pepsin. if you have never used it. He will be glad to send it without any expense to you. Adv.
