Breeding and Raising Of MoIIycoddIes.
A teacher who has had eXceptiona

A teacher who has had exceptional
opportunities for dealing directly
with the children of the wealthy and
also of those who are merely we'll
| TODD, tells us that her poorest pupils
are almost inevitably the children OF
the rich She tells us further that
| the quality of the children of the
rich is rapidly growing poorer; that
with increasing luxury comes in
creasing laziness. She accounts for
it in this way: The children have
nothing to do but play. The hired
man builds the fire in the furnace.
Another man carries away the ashes.
The thermostat regulates the heat az
ter the fire is attended to. The man
mows the lawn. The hired girls do
the cooking and the chamber work.
The seamstress makes all the clothes
for the girls that are not ready-made.
The food of the family is ordered by
telephone and is brought to the door
by the delivery boy. There is moth
ing for the boy and girl to do except
play. They therefore grow up with
out a sense of responsibility and are
not resi- nsible when it comes to the
studying OF their lessons. Their
minds do not take hold of the les
son, because where everything is
done for them, they learn to do moth
ing for themselves.
Other teachers in other lines tell
us the same story without going into
the philosophy of it. They tell us
that in the city high schools, chill
dren who come from sections where
they are obliged to carry coal, look
after the stoves, carry out ashes,
NOV the lawn, wash dishes, sew,
and even sell papers-these children
take higher rank as pupils than chill
dren from sections where the wealthy
people live.
They tell us that the amusements
dancing, parties, shows and social
life-take the tuck out of the chill
dren of the rich. They admit, of
course, that there are exceptions;
but the above is the rule. Older folks,
whose characters have been formed
under different conditions, can stand
luxury and ease at least for while,
but the tendency of luxury is to make
mollycoddles of the young.
When we come to think of it this
is no new theory it is the history of
civilization. AS nations have become
luxurious, they have declined, if not

after the most careful and thor
ough investigation l recommend and
strongly urge upon all the farmers OF
the state that they gather their seed
corn some time between the goth and
9th of this month and that the great
est care be given both to selecting
and caring for the seed. Much of 1t
might be selected before the Goth, but
all should be selected before the close
of the month. Perhaps the nearest
exact date that could be designated as
seed corn day would be Monday, Sep
TENDER 23d. If, however, the weather
conditions should indicate heavy
frost or freeze previous to this date
corn should be Immediately selected
so as to avoid any such contingency.
"In the interests of all the people
of the state, because we are all in
terested in it, l hope that greater
pains and better attention will be
given to the selecting and caring for
seed corn than have ever been given
before"

Woman-Su9gestion

Midsummer finds a marked increase
in panier effects, but the most ap-
proved models are still without any
of the exaggeration the name might
suggest The putting Of the tunics Is
for the most part very low down, so
that the overdress only differs from
others in the gathering In Of the bot
tom line. Various devices are used
to achieve the slight putting over the
trimming band, but sometimes the
cut is all that is needed, little more
depth at the sides of the overdress
than at the back or front making the
slight bullying desired. For these
conservative models, as we'll as for
those with the fullness at the hips or
slightly lower the softest fabrics are
used so that the lines Of the figure are
still very graceful. 1t is quite plain
from all the arrangements of the
panier that gracefulness Is still far
more desired than novelty, and SO 1t
comes about that women who never
believed it possible to wear these dra-
peries are yet wearing them, and
sometimes look better than they did
In the plain skirts. With every spe-
cies of panier tunic the underskirt is
still very scant, and the figure seems
to get an added youthfulness from the
pulled overdress. But the panier has
its limitations. Only slim, well-turn-
ed women can wear it with any de-
gree of smartness; on others, the
chunky figures or the ones too tall
for the piquant detail, paniers seem
something Of an absurdity.
In line and dignity and certain
gentle softness, the costume illustrat-
ed offers splendid suggestions for
mourning, and the dress seems like
wise suited to the matron, both youth
full and middle aged. The model, too,
gives one Of the best ideas for using
up old materials as before mentioned

lilies have grown rich and luxurious,
they have lost leadership, except in
society; and it does not require very
much brains to lead in modern So
called high" society. In modern
times they have retained much of the
wealth by having experts take care Of
it for them; but they have ceased to
be virile force in modern life. More
over, they have, by their ostentatious
luxury, eXasperated the poor, and are
preparing the way for the anarchist.
1t is not so with the farmer. If
he breeds and rears mollycOddles, it
is because he is mollycoddle him.
self. II he puts modern convent
ences in his home and labor-saving
machinery on his farm, there are
still jobs for the children, and each
one may have full task for which he
or she can be held responsible. Farm
children grow up with a sense of
responsibility. There are cows to
milk, horses to feed and curry, eggs
to gather, chickens to feed, weeds
to be pulled, the garden to hoe, and
fruit to gather. Even an automobile
will not hurt the farm boy and girl
for they are born with good sense.
The farm boy has better pair Of legs
than the town boy, because he
uses them more. He cannot ride to
school in a street car. He has better
arms, for he has used them all his
life. He and his sister grow up with
the habit of working for themselves
and for others, instead of being wait
ed on.
1t will be said that there are few
signs of this deterioration in the
smaller towns and cities. Perhaps
not, because the men who are con-
Quoting the business in these towns
and smaller cities were not reared in
luxury. Luxury in the west is a re-
cent matter. 1t takes thirty years

show whether he is man or a molly

first seed corn day and seed corr

Iowa. Realizing the importance o.
seed corn to the crop in Iowa the gov
ernor has taken this means to excite
interest in the subject

cuss the seed corn question:" said
the governor. II may not have SET
the very best date. Perhaps it should
be later, but if am criticised on that
account l shall not be displeased.
would rather have criticism if that
is necessary to stir up our state on
the seed cron problem"
The governor sets September 23d
as seed corn day in Iowa and the
week beginning on that date as seed
corn week. He has secured from Dr.
Chapel, director of the Iowa weather
and crop service, important informa'
ton to the effect that 80 per cent OF
the corn in the state will be out OF
the way of frost by next Sunday, "a
per cent by the 25th of this month, u
per cent by the 3Oth, and 80 per cent
by October 18TH The governors
proclamation reads as follows:
Proper Selection.
IF the farmers of Iowa would
avoid the possibility of another such
condition as existed last spring with
reference to seed corn it must be
done by properly selecting and caring
for the corn that is to be used for seed
next year.
mo doubt the efforts put forth to
secure careful testing of the corn
before planting has had much to do
with the abundant crop that is now
about ready to harvest. but every
farmer ought to carefully select and
properly house enough corn, not on
ly for next years SEED, out snoulu
likewise put away enough for two
years supply in order to guard
that may arise next year. In order
to do this the corn should be picked
before a freeze, carefully selected and
placed in a warm dry room where
there is no danger from moisture or
freezing. 1t should likewise be so ar
ranged that the air can circulate
through it sufficiently to remove all
danger of it's heating.

the weather and crop service for the
following information: By September

Always Be An optimist.

If you wish to live long and see the
world as it was intended you should
see it, be an optimist and look upon
all the events of life as having some
good in them to you, if you look in
to the true "inwardness of things
and keep one eye open to look on the
good side of things as we'll as those
which seem unharmonious to the feel
ings They tell of one of our promi-
nent citizens in the days of old when
children were expected to make one
pair of shoes last at least two years,
that when he went to church on Sun
day he always took his shoes under
his arms, and when he got within
sight of the meeting house" would
retire to a lonely spot and put on his
shoes and stockings, which was
common custom among New England
people, who were not very we'll to DO.
On one occasion as he was stumbling
along through the pasture he struck
one of his feet against stump which
took off one of his big toe nails as
| slick as a whistle" Instead OF sit
ting down and bemoaning his nail
less toe, he exclaimed in an exultant
tone: Gee, how lucky it was | did
not have my new shoes on. What an
awful funk it would have given
them" He reasoned in very sensi-
BILE way that Dame Nature was al
ways ready to grow on new nail in
due time-but shoes were worth in
Continental paper money pound for
pound. 1t is somewhat amusing to
read the old annals of the New Eng
| land states to see the twisting and
screenings some of the pioneers had
to make to have the two ends meet.
Even coming down to our present pio'
neer days, did not our pioneer Isaac
Cooper make a pair OF shoes from
portion of an old cavalry saddle for
| lis Oldest daughter, Frances, now the
wife of the richest man in Iowa? What
valuable relic those shoes would be
today if they had been preserved,
placed in a glass case and deposited
IN the historical department of Iowa.

circumstances to mar their present
happiness; but like our Iowa bees

idea as expressed by Kansas OPP

health of that state: 81 wish to thank
the Kansas health authorities for the
quarantine of my family and me for
six weeks recently, because one OF

nv wife caught up with her sewing;
we had three square meals day. AS
no one came in, and she was not per-

of good nights sleep; and. best OF
all, a cousin and four children had
arranged to visit us, but saw the
small pox sign on the door and got
so scared they left town and will prob

these and other blessings, we are
thankful for the quarantine Now

THE PRESENT AGE.

1t was gala day at ROuen, france,
nearly five hundred years ago, when
the sweet, unselfish, brave and blam
less Joan of Arc was roasted alive by
virture of the verdict of an ecclesias'
teal court that she was hereto
apostle and idolater." Her trumh-
ant exoneration twenty-five years lat
err is of historical value, as showing
how truth is indicated in the long
run, but the proceeding were not
retroactive. 1t restored blighted
reputation, which was the right thing
to do, but it couldn't undue the ter
rible injustice which supervened up
on the original verdict.
Can storied urn or animated bust
Back to it's mansions call the tleeting
breath?
Can honor's voice provoke the silent
dust,
Or fattery still the dull, cold ear of
death?"
Not any; when human is plucked,
that chap and that chapter is ended
and, under the diabolical system OF
capital punishment, no longer pub
lie holiday, it appears every once in
a while or oftener, that through some
blunder in the stern process of justice
the wrong neck was stretched. Mis-
takes will happen in the best regulat-
ed families, and in courts of law as
we'll, by which innocent people often
get the worst of it while jolly grand
rascals go unwhipped of justice. The
case of Joan of Arc is mentioned
merely to show that civilization has
made some Roadway in five hundred
years, but nothing to brag OF. We
still have political, if not ecclesias-
tical intrigue, and our legal killings
are less vulgar and OStentatiOuS. Inc
rack, gibbet and pillory were popular
five hundred years ago. Hanging by
thumbs, the water cure, electrocution
and the unfailing rope are the only,
or the main props OF more liberal
and enlightened system of penology
upon which virtuous citizenship can
lean it's hopes that a measure OF JUS
tice will ccatinue to be melted out to
the sinful and disobedient.
The only thing that makes me knock
Against the present age,
Is that the guillotine and block
No more our hopes engage.
The times are brutally humane
1t would my soul-thirst Stake
TO see the wicked and profane
Slow burning at the stake
Man surely is degenerate,
1t seems so anyhow,
So long a time we have to wait
For such diversions now.
I look ahead five hundred years,
And shudder at the fall
OF man, for truly there appears
No murder mills at all.
No eallows at the prisons rise,
No strong electric chair,
No black cap greets my weeping eyes,
No comfort anywhere.
