Cold Winter

l had always heard OF the "old
Indian sign" Of thick corn husks
indicating a cold winter, but I
had never Thought to notice it un-
til about year ago. AS I was
husking I thought one of the ears
ha.' a thick husk, so I counted
the leaves and found there were
seven OF them, which was a good
husk. So this year, noticing, the
huska seemed thick, went out
and pulled an ear Oft that looked
as 10 1t had thick husk on it,
and cut across 1t at the stem and
counted eighteen leaves or layers.
II tfe corn husks know more about
the coming winter than a man
does. and such q winter ais last
followed seven layer husl. what
will follow an eighteen layer husk !?

WHERE IOWA GETS OFF
The Unusual Record of a Sister
State, Whose People Have Gone
Far toward Banishing Insanity,
Pauperism, and Crime.

There is state not far from
Iowa, which is making a remark
able record with very little noise
about it,.
1t has more counties than Iowa.
Yet more than half of the county
9alls are empty, and more than
sixty precent of the counties have
no prisoners serving sentences
In the pendtentiaries.
Some Of the counties have not
ca Led a jury to try a criminal
case dm ten years. Grand jurdes
are almost unheard OF, and a great
many of the people would mot know
what 1t is. One county has had
but one grand jury IN all Its hds-
tory, and that was twenty-five year
ago.
More than third Of the county
poor farms have no inmates. Five
sizths OF the counties have no In
same, And ninety-five percent OF
them have no inebriates.
Among the people of this state,
III ds generally held that the above
conditions are due to the fact that
1T has stamped out the liquor traf-
tic more effeatually than have
other states. The consumption OF
liquor there amounts to about for
ty-eight cents per head each year,
while i'm the remainder Of the ma
ton the per capita consumption,
is more than twenty dollars each
year. -
No matter what the cause may
be. the facts are indusputable, and
people OF other parts OF the coun-
try should consider them seriously.
The state is Kansas.
