To the Public:
A movement has been on foot and

of a football eleven known as the
Advanced Props, of Pearl High

When Coach Davis called the first
practice, Twenty-Five candidates took
the field, including many OF the old
stars among whom were Scruggs,
Perkins and Brooks, who played on
the famous team that defeated Sum-
ner High, from st. Louis. Profs.
Cameron and Washington resigned
the head of athletics at the close OF
the 1910 season, an6 football was
abolished last year. This year the
whole student body has expressed
great desire for football and they
have engaged a staff Of coaches. One
of the fastest teams that has ever
represented the Cherry and White
will be on the field. The line Is
heavy and unusually fast. The aver
age weight from tackle to tackle Is
about 165 pounds. All the candidates
are showing up better and 1t will be
hard for Coach Davis to select an
eleven. The boys deserve the hearty
support from all the citizens and
fandom because they are all the city'f
youth. 1t is Nashville represented by
Nashville's boys.

the crime at Villisca was accom- plished
it is a deed so utterly out Of the orcli-
nary course Of crime in this state that
1t shocks and terrifies it's people from
border to border. Hhere was a peace
full community in an agricultural sec
ton of the state, the common every
day community OF Iowa awakened
TO find eight persons done to death in
a most brutal fashion, an entire house,
hold murdered in their beds.
The crime is of such a character as
to be practically unique in Iowa. 1t
suggests insanity rather than delib-
crate crime.
Whatever it be, the act of a maniac
or the deliberate act of a monstrous

sources behind the authorities of
Montgomery county to apprehend those
who committed it.

Even the lazy man has been COM

humanity ever moving onward. The
old time lazy man was pictured lang
uidly reclining on a wrecked fence Or
gate. and some OF the erstwhile school
readers sleepily dubbed him the slug

from a root which means slow. Be-
meath the trees which clustered around
the taverns Of other days. the sluggacd
dreamed away the summer hours Of
life, his half closed eyes cast to the
earth rather than the high, blistering
trails leading to fame and fortune.
But a new era 10 upon the world

ambition and in this era, which is as
billowing river Of sleepless surge and
flow, We must glance into new shapen
edG!es for the typical lazy man OF the
times. Like weary leaf. harboriny
amidst stilled waters. we shall md him
there-a sailor careless OF the rushing
current. He has many guises in these
latter days, has the indolent citizen.
and he must not always be looked for
in the rags Of the trampish mendicant.
On the contrary, the modern lazy man
is often superbly clad and his estate
in honorable standing 1t the bank. Or

consequent admissions of causes the

square itself with the winds blowing
now from another quarter. 1.-The writ

nying that it's writer" voted for Lafe.
He did. and the Hawkeye cheerea him
in defeat the morning after. But the
Hawkeye can not forgive the candid
admission that Iowa Is a progressive
state. It takes a poke at Mr.. Young.
Then the Vinton Eagle, edited by
Bernard Murphy, Is Displaced with
Mr. Young. Murphy and the Eagle made
q fight for Young in Benton unayail-
ingly and lost Mr.. Murphy knows that
Mr.. Young was defeated in that county
because a more progressive man ap-
pealed overmuch to the voters. But
he also IL sore at Lafe because he
! fessed up.
1t Is the old, old story Of standpatism
and the newspapers that represent thu
old guard Nobody has done So much
for that coterie as Mr.. Young and his
newspaper. The Capital has been the

But Mr.. Young, being beaten and un-
derstanding very we'll how 1t came
about. the Capital told the truth In
politics. thus creating a precedent and
alternating the newspapers referred to.
They could stand anything except to
have LATE tell the truth.
This is not a progressive funeral

ton that "the writer OF the Republican

The Waterloo Courier predicts that
Mr.. Holden could get the governorship

THE RvRA. CONFERENCE At Axes.

Iowa State College at Ames is to
hold Its second annual rural life con-
ference in connection with it's summer
school e agriculture and home econ
omics June 81 to June 80.
The first conference Of this charac-
ter was held last year and was highly
successful in attaining results. Its
mem bers found themselves so greatly
benefited by the session that they
adopted resolutions earnestly recon-
and annual occasion and joined in urg-
ing the suggestion Of the resolution
upon the college By letter after the
conference was over and they had gone
home and had time to think it all over.
Ministers, farmers, teachers, all the
active elements Of rural life gather at
these conferences. They take up and
discuss the various phases Of country
existence and exchange views. expert
ences and suggestions. 1t is vastly
helpful from a practical standpoint
and as establishing general move
ment. There is quite as much need OF
rural life conferences as for any OF
the meetings and movements which
have so much assisted to ameliorate
old conditions and create new and bet
ter ones in cities.
This years conference will continue
a full week, openinfi Monday and clos
ing the Sunday followin. after rural
life sermon by one Of Americas most
McNutt. Each morning conference
members will be free to attnd summer
session classes in agriculture or home
economics. Each afternoon there will
be two lectures, one on some relation
of religion to rural life, the other on
some phase Of rural sociology. From )
to o'clock each afternoon there will
be ad iscussion of practical methods
for rural betterment, led in a thirty
minute talk by some man or woman
who has done things in rural church.
school or club. Each evening. as far as
| possible. there will be an address by
some rural workers of note.

We are hearing great deal IN these
days concerning the necessity for
single standard OF morals for men and
women. and for additional safeguards
for the protection of young women
generally with the implication that the
male of the species is more deadly than
the female.
Miss Mary NJ. Bartelme, assistant
judge of the Chicago juvenile court.
probably acknowledges as quickly as
anyone the desirability Of general
toning up Of the social system, but her
diagnosis OF the reason for the present
bad condition is not the one usually
popular with women reformers-we do
not mean to call Miss Bartelme . re.
former-for she says that in this day
of emancipation Of the sex. half the
crime and immortality in the world 10
due not to men but to the way
women dress. She blames prevalent
extravagances not on the shop girl. the
stenographer and the clerk but on the
high school girl and her IKE, who set
bad example Miss Bartelme's exact
words in summing up her case are
worth reproduction because they are
to the point. neither nincing matters
nor being adulterated by Mysteries:
The way women. and especially girls,
dress now Is vulgar. irnmodest and
even criminal. Girls of the present day
dress to advertise their physical
charms, lure men, and in so doing seek
to show that they welcome advances
and are on the market"

acy of this statement If anyone thinks
1t exaggerated, let him walk up and
