Let Well Enough Alone

Our worthy citizen made state
ment in last week S paper to the effect
that 1T is good thing to leave we'll
enough alone. Is it?
Suppose the world SO years ago had
stopped and said, "This is good enough
for me, I'll let we'll enough alone. -?
Where would we be today? Doubtless
in existence and that's about all. Cres-
co would be here as it was then, but
no one would know it or care very
much.
1t lis the constant struggle to not
"let well enough alone" which has
made civilization what it is today and
more specifically made Cresco the
thriving community that it is now.
About IS years ago, Thomas Edison
invented the carbon flament electric
lamp. 1t took about 6 watts per can
die power, making 30 candle power
lamp cost almost 2 cents per hour to
operate. Yet electric lighting became
popular at once. In 80 years the car
bon lamp was improved so that it took
3.5 watts per candle and the 80 caudle
power cost about IL cents per hour to
operate. Six years ago the Mazda
tungsten lamp was developed taking
LIZ watts per candle. The 80 candle
(40 waltz costs a of cent per hour to
operate.
Carbon lamps are now obsolete and
their manufacture has ceased.
In six years time the cost of electric
lighting to this community has been
reduced IS per cent. The original cost
of 80 candle power carbon was Soc,
and the 80 candle power Mazda now
costs SIS cents besides being almost as
strong mechanically.
Evidently, the lamp makers do not
believe in letting well enough alone. :"
And we believe with the lamp makers.
We have here lighting plant which
may be well enough" but we want to
Improve it, SO as to do more business
and thereby give this community bet
ter service and better rates.
If we are willing to spend SIS, OOO.O
for modern lighting and power plant
which will be credit to, and draw
ing card for this community, we be-
Iieve the community ought to grant Us
franchise SO we can go ahead and
make the improvements. We confess
we fail to see where a niger" can
be hidden in such A proposition. Can
you. Cresco It., Ht., & p. Co.

Daniel Kruger was born June 80,
1888, in the Province Pomern, koenig-
reich, Prussia, Germany, and died in
Cresco. Iowa, en- Tuesday morning,
March 10, 1912. His death came quite
unexpected, and was shock to all.
He left Germany and came to
America as young man, landing in
New York City where he found employ
ment for several years. From this
place he afterwards moved to Manlstee,
Michigan. Here, too, he spent num-
Der of years. He came to Iowa in 1872
and settled in Albion Township on a
farm where he has since resided.
About two weeks ago he moved to
Cresco where he expected to spend the
rest of his years in quiet and ease; but
his stay with us here was of short
duration, for death took him away
quickly.
Mr.. Kruger was married on Feb.
Is, 1873, to Miss Wilhelmena Keune.
To them were born eight children; four
sons and four daughters; they are
William, Charles, Ed and Dan Krueg-
err, of Albion Township, the daughters

Miss Della, of Albion Township, Mrc.
VIM. H. Cook, of West Union, and
Miss Minnie of Cresco.
On March %, 1894, he was berett of
his faithful wife through death. This
was great loss to him and his small
children.
In 1895. he was married to Mrs.
Augusta Schuman, his now Borrowing
widow. She was to him an excellent
wife, and good mother for his child
rem.
He became acquainted with the
Evangelical church soon after coming
to Iowa, and became one of her active
members. He was faithful attend
ant at the regular church services, ano
was always interested in her pros

Important Corn Testing Information

Important Corn resting lnIOTmatlOn
There is probably no subject of as
great interest to all our readers at the
present time--as that of testing seed
corn, and securing in advance, so far
as may be possible, assurance that it
will grow. Many devices are offered,
and much advice given on this popular
subject. One of the most valuable ar
ticles, and one which gives the results
of practical experience will appear in
this weeks issue of The Iowa Home
stead. 1t is written by the editor, and
embodes the experience which his
close observation and intense interest
leads him to believe may be of assist
ance to farmers. This article goes
infinitely into its description of the
simple practices that may enable farm
ers to test their corn, and gives advice
of general interest. This article, by the
way, is one of the many which appear
every week in The Homestead on the
various phases Of farmers work. We
are glad to announce that we have
made special arrangement with the
publishers of The Iowa Homestead by
which that paper may be secured in
connection with our own at the greatly
reduced rate Of 81 90 per year for both
papers.
