SUGGESTION FOR TOWNS.

An automobilist who has lately peeh
on a motor jaunt thru Iowa calls at
tention to a plan which the ROCK
Island railroad have adopted at Es-
therville. 1t appears that Estherville
has a shack district near the railroad
station as many other towns have. The
railroad has done some parking ana
cleaning up about the station and to
preserve the ensemble Of neatness ana
divide its grounds from the shack
district built a high board fence be-
tween its property and the tumble
down buildings and i'll kept premises OF
the eyesore.
Instead of turning this fence over to
the bill poster 1t was neatly painted
and turned over to the city SO far as
its advertising possibilities are con-
cerned. In bold characters the fence
advises passengers via the Rock Island
to Watch Estherville Grow"
That Is about all there is to the
matter 1t is suggestive to other towns
with q slogan and a shack district
Why not cut off from view the tumble
downs and dump districts and greet
the passing throng with the informa-
ton that the town is growing, expects
to grow and invites inspection?

Of the Miller family.
However. we need more complete de-
tall 1t is not sufficient to know that
each favors different candidate. We
must know how they act at the break
fast table and when the family circle
forms around the evening lamp. Does
Joaquin roar and Mrs. Miller nag and
the daughter pout and shoot sarca SIN
and accusation at the candidates Of her
pa and ma? Does the madam get back
at Joaquin by cooking stuff that he
doesn't like in the way he doesn't like
it? Does Joaquin kick on the grocery
bill! merely as political reprisal? Does
the girl refuse to wash the dishes as
partisan comeback? What we want
to know is whether the Miller family
simply have a difference of political
opinion or If they are clinched and
rolling on the floor under the worsted
worked motto God Keep the Home"
1t is hard to argue with a woman,
hard and of slight avail. It is harder
and Of less promise to attempt to argue
with two. Were Miller's wife and
daughter agreed upon one candidate
the old man would stand small show
in that family. The fact that they
are as much opposed to each other as
to the titular head Of the house helps
him out a whole lot. If they were in
agreement there would be little left for
Joaquin but a meal ticket down town
and a policy Of coming home late and
sleeping alone.
Let US have more and in more de-
tail of the Miller affair. Two hundred
thousand Iowa husbands and fathers

The Last Equality.

The rich man breathes the atmosphere
the same as you or I:
He, can not see deeper blue than we
do in the sky;
He hears the piping Of the birds-a
music sweet and clear
But maybe money clinking dulls the
music to his ear.
And yet he has some pleasures that
possess a tempting guise-
But he can't die any deader than the
poor man dies
The rich man piles the money till he
gazes at the heap
And trembles lest it totter, till he loses
lots Of sleep:
The poor man tolls in factory, in office
and in ditch.
And worries over money till he's Sleep
less like the rich.
The moneyed man has pictures that
escape the poor mans eyes
But he can't die any deader than the
poor man dies.
The rich man can not eat more than
just one meal at time,
Nor more than his ten pennies will ex-
coed the poor mans dime;
One suit of clothes Is all that may at
once his form adorn,
He wore no more than poor men do.
the day that he was born.
And he is just as honest, and his
falsehoods are plain lies
And he can't die any deader than the
poor man dies.
There may be some philosophy in lift
ing up moan
Because the rich man rides the while
the poor man walks alone;
Because the rich man has his gold to
buy his goodly cheer
And yet there's come a time when he
will have to leave 1t here.
Old Deaths a spirit level that will
brook no compromise.
And no one dies any deader than the
next man dies.

IT'S A PARTNERSHIP DEAL.

An Hedrick woman has filed charges
on the farm as they are pictured in

western farm life in the earlier times.
She says she has been forced by her
husband to work in the fields to the

ging potatoes and doing the work OF
harvest hand, claims that her husband
Is worth $4,000 and suggests to the
court that her activities as farm hand,

half Of it.

half Of it, most of US wiz agree with
her and supplement her appeal to the

part toward the accumulation Of for

The fence is at least twelve feet high
and extends on the line from the alley

We fear no dire disaster
When trials test our steel.
