Finish every day and be done with
it. You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities no doubt
crept in; forget them as soon as you can.
Tomorrow is new day; you shall begin
it well and serenely and with too high
a spirit to he numbered with you old
nonsense
"Smal service is true service while it
lasts
Of humblest friends bright creature
scOrn not one
The daisy by the shadow that it casts
Protects the lingering dewdrop from the
sun.
Half the world is on the wrong
scent in the pursuit of happiness. They
think it consists in having and getting
and in being served by others. 1t con
sSts in giving and in serving others. -
And the finest fellow of all would
he the one who could be glad to have
lived because the world was chiefly mis-
cradle, and his life had come to help
some one who needed it. -

goodness is of itself an act of happiness.
No reward coming after the event can
compare with the sweet reward that went

FIND QUEER PEOPLE.
Iowa University Men Who Found
New Race in Far North Lived
Months on Their Guns.

Iowa City, Ia, Sept. 23.-Imagine
a person who had never seen a sui
phur match lighted, who had never
heard the report of a gun and is un-
able to count above six. This is the
true story of the race of Eskimo
which Valhpmar Stefansson, Iowa
university '03 and r. H. Anderson,
Iowa university '03, discovered in
their explorations in the far north
during the year Of 1909 and part
of 1910, according to information
which has been furnished their
friends still remaining at the state
university of Iowa.
For thirteen months these Iowa
grads lived on their rifles, making
use of over 100 tons of caribou bear
and seal meat for themselves and
their dogs. Even salt was dispensed
with, but only one meal was missed.
Stefansson and Anderson discov-
cred that several thousand miles of
territory supposed to be unoccupied
was inhabited. Further, they found
race heretofore supposed to have
been lost. They report that among
these uncivilized Eskimo morality and
honesty is on high plane Begging,
they say, is unknown. They are
more sanitary, housed better, fed
better and clothed better than the
civilized Eskimo.

SHOOT, CARVE, DRAW.
Trouble at Oran Between Railroad
Men Who Had Been Drinking
Results May BE Serious.

AS the result of a shooting and
stabbing affray at Oran Sunday even
ing three men are in Jail here, one
with a bullet wound through his
right thigh, one with long cash in
his neck, and one serving out a
500 fine. The three men are Jacob
Thompson, section foreman for the
c. G. w. railroad; Lee Gust, a Next
can section hand; and George Swish
er, member of the prominent and
well-to-do family who owned and
plated the land on which the town
of Oran was laid out
Thompson and Gust had been
drinking, but it is thought the motive
for the row was a question between
them as to the proper size of the
Mexican's pay check. In the argu-
ment Thompson pulled his gun and
put a bullet through Gusts right
thigh. During the melee Thompson
got a cash on the side of his neck.
At just what stage of the game this
happened, whose knife did it, aud
how it was done, are questions that
will be vital if the case comes to
trial court.-West Union Argo.

Had Experience.

Anamosa, Iowa.-This city is
among those where the sentiment is
strong for the ballot to decide The
liquor question. Anamosa, indeed,
has had painful experience with the
petition of consent. When the last
petition was circulated it failed TO
carry by but one signature. Ana
mosa is of the size where it requires
eighty per cent of the voters sigma
lures to make a petition valid. There
fore the failure of the petition by
the lack of one name caused the
liquor question in this city to be de-
dcied by twenty per cent of the
voters. Anamosa has complained
but little of the failure of the petit
ton to carry, but even the most
radical temperance people admit
that a system by which one-fifth of
the voters may dictate to the others
is wrong. The very fact that it is
wrong has caused endless turmoil
and strife in Anamosa and that is
the reason why the sentiment is SO
strong here for the substitution of
the ballot for the petition of con-
sent.--adv.

IOWAN SMASHES OLD RULE.
Mason City Banker Secures Change
i'm Constitution.

Mason City, Ia, Sept. 23.-The
iron clad rule in the government of
the National Bankers association
has been broken and c. H. McNider
of this city, president of the First
National bank, is given the honor of
smashing the rule. This rule made
it impossible for a member of the as
ISOLATION to secure an elective Office
without first securing a minor office,
then being eligible for promotion
through the chairs"
Mr.. McNider opposed the rule and
led the attack at the recent national
gathering at Detroit. His resolution
for revision not only passed. but he
was named chairman of the COM
mittee to revise the constitution and
report at the next convention. When
this new arrangement is effective,
any member may be elected president
without first serving as minor Of
ficer.

FROST TO END EPIDEMIC.
Dean of Ames Veterinary School
Predicts Relief From the
Horse Disease.

Ames, Ia, Sept. 23.-"When the
fisrt killing frost comes, the danger
of the spread of tn emysterious dis
ease epidemic among horses in Iowa
will cease" says Dean c. H. STANCE,
head of the veterinary school of
Iowa State college. 1T is the con-
census of opinion that this disease,
diagnosed as an inflammation of the
brain and spinal cord caused by a
germ, is carried in the air. Under
those circumstances frost will end
the trouble
Until frost comes, Dean STANCE
advises farmers and other owners of
horses to observe several simple pre-
cautions against the disease. This
disease is hard to fight" says Dean
STANCE, land not many precautionary
measures are known. But these
things can be done to a good advan-
tage: Bring the horses in out of
the pasture, keep them in the barn
and put them on dry feed. Also
clean the watering troughs once a
week or oftener, disinfecting them
with a strong solution of quicklime.
These sanitary measures may not
prevent the disease from getting a
foothold, but it is worth while to do
what | have suggested"
Dean STANCE says there is no cause
for alarm in Iowa, and that ship
ments of horses need be in no way
dangerous. So far the trouble has
appeared only in two or three To-
calities, chief among them is in the
vicinity. of Clarinda in Page county
and near Winterset, Madison county
Since the appearance of the disease,
the veterinary department has been
flooded with letters requesting in
formation and advice about the dis
ease.

$50 An Acre for standing Corn.

Waterloo, Ia, Sept. %. = Three
hundred dollars for six acres of
standing corn, the purchaser to take
off the crop, is probably new record
for Iowa's staple product. w. w.
Marsh last week bought of John
Mullaney, who operates a farm on
the southern outskirts of the city,
six acres of corn at the above price.
The corn on the six acres was magni-
ficent but is equaled by other stands
in that vicinity.
With the sale of one seasons crop
for $50 an acre it is not strange that
the valuation of Iowa farm lands
should increase by 10 and 20 per
cent each year. The transaction also
brings out the value of careful selec-
ton of seed corn and the benefit ac-
crued by intelligent cultivation OF
the growing crop.

LINE BLOCKADED BY GRAIN.
Is Hard Pressed for Cars.

Mason City, Ia, Sept. ga
blockade of loaded cars of grain now
ensues along this division of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul road
and to relieve the situation as far as
possible every available car that will
hold grain is being pressed into the
service. Even the old discarded cars
used as bunk" cars by the foreign
laborers employed by the road, are
being patched up and used.
To afford housing for the laborers
small houses to accommodate from
eight to sixteen men are being built
These will be set where the gangs
are at work, and when a move is
necessary will be loaded upon fat
cars. At Sanborn, Spencer and other
points along the line where the road
has extensive sidings, and where
there are reducing points the yards
are completely blocked.

A Shetland pony belonging to Fern

alton it was found that its skull was

Why Pay the MissOurian?

The apple crop is light in Iowa
this year; but the growers down in
southwestern Iowa who sprayed and
attended to their orchards report a
fair crop. One grower estimates the
yield from his big orcahrd at $500
an acre. That's considerable money
to pick off an acre of apple trees in
poor year, says the Marshalltown
Times-Republican
A man with a forty acre fruit
farm near Council Bluffs has four
teen acres of grapes. He will pick
over $500 worth of them from each
acre this year and his grape crop
will bring him $4,000. Other vine
yards in the same neighborhood are
reported by the Nonpareil to be al
fording quite as good yields.
Iowa seems to be an excellent
fruit state. All is seems to need is
some common ordinary knowledge
of fruit farming and willingness to
work or see that others work under
wages. Three hundred dollars an
acre and $500 an acre for apples and
grapes isn't bad farming PROPOSE
ton.
Why do we pay the Missourian
and the express company? Why not
raise enough fruit for Iowa in Iowa
and keep the money at home?

week through the agency of j. w.
