$4,000 FOR HOSPITAL.
VIM. H. Smith, Resident of DecOrah,
Offers $4,000 if $4,000 Addi-
tiOnal is Raised.

A very generous offer is made by
Mr.. VIM. H. Smith, for some years
past resident of this city, to aid in
the general movement for a hospital
for the city of Decorah. He agrees
to give $4,000 provided the citizens
raise $4,000 additional, which will
provide $4,000 for hospital purpos-
es. The offer is indeed liberal and
commendable one, and the opportu-
nifty now seems open to provide such
an Institution as there has been great
necessity for.
Meantime, the committee of the
Decorah Commercial Club has been
at work for some weeks on a propo-
sition, heretofore outlined in these
columns, which includes the raising
of sufficient funds to establish a
hospital here, and the procuring of
the services of one of the most dis
tinguished and successful surgeons
in Iowa to conduct operations. A
definite proposition will be ready to
present to the commercial club with
in few days, it is expected, and the
generous offer, above noted will as
sist very materially in the work.

AGRICULTURALISNI.
Some Remarkable Facts Concerning
Great Agricultural Eminence of
Hawkeye State.

Herbert N. Casson of New York,
author of The Romance of the
Reaper" THE Romance of Steel
and other books, and a lecturer on
business and advertising topics, de,
clared in an address before the Des
Moines Admens Club recently
that the State of Iowa is at the very
pinnacle of agriculluralism. He
said that there was more machinery
per farmer in Iowa than any place
else in the world and that the value
of the hogs Of Iowa is greater than
the pay envelopes of all the kings
of Europe.
I've got my eye ON farm here in
Iowa and I'm going to buy 1t and
then go back to New York and tell
them l own farm out where farms
belong. He said: "A few years age
/ came to Iowa to write it up and
wrote that Iowa was at the very pin
nacle of agiculturism. When you
Il
start to talk about agriculture in
Iowa you throw the dictionary out OF
the winaow. You bust" all defini-
tions.'
He said that down in Florida there
We're people buying parts of the
ocean and then filling it in with land
and calling it farm and the others
were buying land out in the deserts
of the west and then buying the wa
ter to put on it to make a farm out
of it.
1t is we'll established fact that
Iowa has never known a total crop
failure. The worst year in the his
tory of the State, according to the 10.
cal weather and crop records and
those of the Iowa Department
of Agriculture was in 1894
the year that so many of the
states had practically tota
failure of crops. In that year Iowa
produced over $2OO,OOO,0OO worth
OF field crops alone exclusive Of the
fruits and live stock production.
Iowa soil has shown it's ability tc
Withstand drouth far better than
those of her neighboring states but
the soil is seldom called upon to pro
duce a crop without a sufficient
amount of moisture to bring the
crop through. The annual normal
precipitation in Iowa is 31.45 inches
The diversity of crops grown here is
so great that in no season can all OF
the crops fail and there is always
something growing in Iowa.

Chicago, May 12-First steps
towards "reuniting the republican
party were taken at a conference of
republican United States senators
and other leaders of the party held
here today. The conference decided
to call upon the republican national
committee at its meeting scheduled
for May "a at Washington to issue a
call for a national convention this
year.
To reorganize the party "along
progressive lines" Senator Albert b.
Cummins of Iowa, Senator William
E. Herbert S. Hadley, together with
the other leaders at the conference,
agreed that the proposed convention
shall change the basis of representa-
tion in future conventions and make
other radical changes so that the
party shall stand "for constructive
and progressive activity in the
affairs of government"

The new tariff revision bill has
passed the house and is now in the
hands of the senate, where it is be-
ing attacked by republicans who be-
lieve in republican protective princi-
pies. SO far as we are concerned,
we say to the democrats. "go as far
as you like Nothing short of radi-
cal tariff legislation will satisfy those
who have been clamoring for it for
some years past, and it probably will
take only one good strong dose to
put the country back again into the
ranks OF the party of stability and
construction. 1t is true that an aw-
full howl has gone up from many
quarters where they have already
discovered that they have simply
been cutting off their own noses In
attacking republican principles, but
experience is the best teacher and

1t costs $110.S5 on the average to
raise horse until three years of
age on an Iowa farm, according to
figures recently compiled by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. The animal is worth on
the average $145.1S at that age. OF
this total cost of raising, 54.5 per

fall. Ex-King Manuel of Portugal
started things the other day by taking
to wife Augusta Victoria, princess of
HOhenzollern.
1t is very interesting fact that the
royalties who are going to wed this
fall have generally had other love af-
fairs. Ex-King Manuel, for instance,
was quite smitten on the Duchess of
Fife before he finally decided to be
content with the Princess of Hohen-
zollern, and before that, of course, he
made eyes at Gaby Deslys.
Now the Duchess of Fife has an

prince of Connaught. At one time she
looked with favor on Prince George
of Greece, who soon is to become the
husband of Princess Elizabeth of Rou-

who was then occupying the throne
with King Edward, is said to have
favored the marriage of the princess
of Fife to Prince George.
