bushels OF excellent corn on one acre
OF ground. The prizes that he re-
ceived were valued at more than $So0.
The honor was worth much more, and
then Just think OF the pleasure that
lad had. Just imagine how 1t tickled
him to see those stalks grow, and how
he helped them to grow. and now
much more fun he had In that field
than some other boys ever can have
trying to punch an ivory ball into
pocket of q pool table. There were
many other lads in the contest. some
Of whom did almost as well as young
Finch, and many Of whom received
prizes that they will hold in high re-
gard to their dying day. For 1t Is the
growing lad who appreciates these
things much more than he will after
he has reached maturer years.
There is another point to be taken
into consideration in this connection.
II a boy Of IS can grow almost 1O0
bushels of corn on an acre or Iowa
land, why can not every Iowa farmer
grow his 100 and more bushels OF corn
to the acre? Why not invest half the
capital in land, why not have the farm
half as large as it is at present and
get twice as much from the acre!
Surely il these lads in different Sec
tons of the state who have not the
strength. the skill, the experience OF
their elders, can induce the soil to pro-
duce leo bushels to the acre, then the
older and more experienced farmers
can surely do as we'll if not much bet
ter. Where land goes up and up and
up in price. there is just the one thing
to do and that Is to get more out OF
the acre than has heretofore been the
rule and to get bigger returns and
bigger profits off OF the small acreage
than is now yielded by the big farms.
Thus the big farmers can learn much
from these little farmers and these
boys contests may become OF untold
value to the state of Iowa.

CHURCHES AND CHARITY.

TIE churches are criticised because
they DO not open their doors more
freely 70 warm and feed hungry and
shive-ing humanity in zero weather.
The criticism is warranted, in part. 1t
least And the churches will be wise
10 take note Of the criticism. They
MAJ. like individuals. learn more from
their critics than from their friends,
if they accept the structures in the
proper spirit.
But church critics are usually not
wholly free from faulty view OF the
situation which they criticise. The
assumption is not warranted that when
people become members Of earthly
church associations that they immedi-
ately take on angelic freedom from
things carnai and selfish. On the con-
trary, they still remain human and
susceptible to all the ills Of the flesh.
The church as an institution should not
be wholly condemned as failure If its
members do not conform fully with the
spirit of the Master founder. More
over, it is worthy Of note that church
people largely predominant in altru-
istic activity. A great deal of charity
work is now being done and church
members are doing most OF it. In fact
practically all OF the organized charity
| work is being conducted by church In
| situations.
A large part of the work Of the
church is necessarily and properly d.
rected toward the training Of people
to lives Of such self-control that they
shall not become objects Of charity
But in this it also has its limitations
The point worthy of note in this con
nection is that when we criticise ant
point out deiinquenoies in the c!::s:.c!

professor that there are some glazing
defects In the social organizations OF
the villages and towns Of Iowa. The
Express says and rightly. that the viii
lagos OF Iowa maintain very high
scale Of community life, morally. So
clally. intellectually and spiritually.
There u no doubt that the investi-
gator can md something wrong in
every community: we have yet to hear
Of the community, even in Iowa. which
has not its shortcomings in the shape
Of people who transgress. But there IL
nothing to be very badly excited about.
The people Of the average village are
able to take care Of themselyes-of
their morals and Of their various ac-
|tivities which have to do with the
everyday life Of the community.
Things wrong? Yes? The commun-
ity which has nothing wrong needs
translation-and no community on
earth is vet ready for translation.
The Express says social conditions
will rank higher in the village than in
the large cities of the state. Possibly
that com parison is unnecessary. for
conditions in city and country are but
natural.
The greater the congestion of popu-
iation the greater the problem with
regard to vice and other undesirable
conditions. The larger the city the
more poverty. The smaller the city
generally speaking this is true
especially in Iowa-the less poverty.
Take town like Central City-the
good people there tried to find some
one who was in need at Christmas
time. and the search was in vain.
There are probably scores upon scores
Of such communities in Iowa.
There is mitch to be said in favor of
conditions in the small town and the
count-y-sou-ces which furnish a
great lot of the brain and Drawn and
manhood that cities need.

murder Of Herman Rosenthal. accord
ing To information in the hands of Dis
trict Attorney Whitman. The money
Is being collected. 1t is said, by the
so-called system" which is to be in
vestigated by the district attorney, who
believes that between the system
and the gambling fraternity" there Is
a corrupt alliance founded on graft
and blackmail. Information of the
100000 fund came To the, prosecutor In
connection with the arraignment to-
day of Becker To answer the indict :
mcni against him. In the legal pro-
cecdings which included the with
diawal by Becker of his plea of mot
guilty to offer motions to invalidatc

resented by three LAWYERS, one of
whom mysteriously Withdrew while
the others seemed doubtful of their
own status when the proceedings were
over. II was said the lawyers were

ncy heard. virtually have engaged n

John w. Hart. who conducted today
proceedings. moved to dismiss the in
dictment on the ground that II was
irregular He also moved Ia review
the grand jury minutes and take evil
dence To show whether the ground for
the indictment was sufficient. Judge
Malqueen set the case over until
Wednesday. The fact that Becker was
to appear for arraignment attracted
an immense crowd. Among them
We're many gamblers and characters
! of the underworld. The crowd be-
came so dense that the corridors were
cleared and only persons having busi-
ness were admitted To the courtroom.
While the police are searching the
catskills for 'Gyp. the Blood" and
Lefty Louie" two OF the alleged
murdercrs OF Rosenthal. private de-
tcctives employed by the district at
torney are looking for them in Bos-
ton. Tho district attorney heard today
n voluntary witness who accused two
policemen of failing to arrest the miss
ing men when, two days ago he
pointed them out To the officers In
West Forty second street. The man
said he knew them. Both policemen
admitted that the witness had pointed
out two men as "Gyp the Blood and

they be fined The board of aldermen
adopted resolution this afternoon
providing for an investigation Of the
police department. A special commit
tee headed by Alderman Curran was
appointed to conduct the investigation
while $4,000 was appropriated to bear
the expense. Six republicans. or
