Better Nation.

This marks the beginning Of a new
and greater business service. 1t is a
cooperative movement for larger
crops, better roads, happier homes,
more prosperous people, and a richer
and better nation. That is to say,
the I H c Service Bureau proposes to
help do for all the states and for Can
ada what Holden has done for Iowa.
After considering many offers, and
after an Investigation Of the company
and its works, Professor Perry G..
Holden has entered the service of the
I H c Service Bureau at Chicago.
Professor Holden is known wher-
ever real agriculture is known. His
whole life is one Of service. He orig
mated the idea of carrying informa-
ton direct to farmers. He is the IA

DR.. Jacob Gould Schurman, the new
United States minister to Greece and
Montenegro. has been president Of Cor.
nell university for twenty years.
Dr.. Schurman has long been inter
ested in antiques. and the excavations
in Greece have been one Of his pecu-
liar hobbies. Philippics is his especial
chair at Cornell. and he has written
books on philosophical subjects.
He was born in Freetown, Prince Ed
ward Island, in 1854, of Dutch de-
scent. He received his higher educa-
ton at the University Of Edinburgh
and various German universities. Lat
er he studied in California, at Yale and
other American institutions. For a
time he specialized on political econo-
my and psychology and in 1886 became
professor Of philosophy at Cornell. He
was made president Of the university
in 1892.
The only official position ever held
by DR.. Schurman was that of presi-
dent Of the first Philippine commits
sion in 1899.
During DR.. S%churman's administra-
ton Cornell has emerged from a minor
position in the collegiate world to one
Of the greatest universities in the coun-
try. The student population, which
when he came was less than 1900, has
now passed the 5000 mark, and the
university has prospered throughout
his administration.

The whole country is now falniliui

get no more money to give his tor

make a clean breast of his past before
the other could %"squeal."
When Burke made his confession he
was an absolute bankrupt. The mon

b only apparent thing between him
and starvation. He took the money
and disappeared.

demonstration farms, and the National
Corn Exposition. AS head of the ex-
tension department of Iowa State Col
1ege of Agriculture he did a work
which, Senator Cummins SAYS I'D to
the present time has increased the
wealth of Iowa 100000, O0o.
The object of the 1 H c Service Blu.
reau is the promotion Of agricultural
education, and a cooperation which
Will tend to raise the whole tone of
commercial, industrial and farm life.
Since agriculture is the basis of pros
per1ty and progress, naturally farm
problems claim first attention. The aim
Is higher efficiency, both on and off
the farm.
TO do q big work a big organization
Is necessary. Not only the bigness,
but the perfection of the International
organization as well appealed to Pro.
lessor Holden. The big general agen-
cles, scattered all over the United
states and Canada; the statesmen,
travellers and expert machine men:
the 10000 dealers-every one, so far
rs possible, is to be made an apostle
OF better farming.
Fol years the International Har.
vester Company has realized the i'm
portance of service. 1t has, spent mil
lions of dollars in the perfection of la.
~bor-saving machines, and now the
company is going in for direct service
direct to the farmers, and direct to
the farmers children, that the men
and women of tomorrow may be more
capable and SO more prosperous than
the men and women of today.
1t is no longer a theory that If we
are to get the most out Of life we
must raise per acre. "Inten.
sive farming" is in the air. 1t is the
battle cry of peace and plenty. But
raising more is the result Of mind
not muscle. We must know. And
not only that, we must know we
know, and know why we know. We
must know good seed from bad, right
cultivation from wrong, and the why's
and wherefors of climates, soils
fruits, cattle, horses, poultry, and SO
forth.
For these things the bureau wa.
established. But the bureau and
Professor Holden see more than an
average increase Of a few bushels.
They see a time coming when farmers
will raise twice as many bushels OF
corn, wheat and oats to the acre
and like yields of all other kinds OF
farm products. They see a time when
farmers and farmers wives and their
children will think more and work
less. Every bushel raised means jus,
that much profit, and the profits OF
the farm promote commerce and in
dustry.
After a period Of good work in Mich
igan agricultural college, better work
at Illinois, and a great work at Iowa
Professor Holden now enters upon 8
worlds work. While in future Pro
lessor Holden will designate Chicago
Is home, he says he is not leaving lows
he is merely carrying Iowa to The
rest Of the world.

and the period is lovingly described
with characteristic touches of loving
and tender hands. The period is the
intrusion Of capital and industrialism
into the sleeping and un-reconstruct-
ed south with its archaic and child
like civilization, yet withal so loyal
and lovable. There are the fading
heroes Of the confederacy, the idle
ness and lettering drinking habits of
the younger male population, the lit
eTary tastes and society proclivities
OF the women Of the south, and the
profound religious sentiment of the
village. Into the midst Of this peace
is plunged the bad man and hero of

lie who disappeared after stabbing
affair in which he slashed a native
son with jacknife He returns as
a prodigal son, but does not get the
welcome due the traditional prodi-

is undertaken. Factory follows fac
