An item reprinted by the Sioux City
Journal from it's file Of twenty-five
years ago speaks Of firm which had
just shipped it's second car load OF
prairie chickens to the London market.
It didn't take the market hunters and
the trappers long to wipe out the
prairie chicken. Presumably those
chickens brought the producer" some
where about % cents apiece. What
would you pay for pair of nice fat
prairie chickens for New Years?

HOW IOWA LOOKS.

Every oomlciie. city and country, Is
showing signs of some Improvement.
More conveniences are being installed,
and the looks of the place are being
hettered. Very seldom can one find a
nome which seems to be going to rack
and ruin. and 1t is almost Impossible
to find house that needs painting
even IN these prosperous days
The wonder of 1t is that anyone can
find it in his plans to load up and
move out of Iowa. Where in the wide
world can he do better. live happier or
afford more chances for his children,

THE CLINTON CHILDREN.

Within the past four years the chill
dren OF Clinton have accumulated &c.,
500 in the school savings banks. They
have gotten something better than this
money and that is the habit Of putting
away something for the future It is
not necessary that any one should be
misery. or should deprive himself Of
pleasure nor Of the things that are
really needed. Saving should not be
overdone. and neither should spending.
There is happy golden mean to be
found everywhere. And the school
savings banks are sure to help many
children to reach that happy mean.

The Dubuque Times journal Is
peeved because people do not stop to
observe the beautiful sun rises and por-
geous sunsets and insists they are Just
as fine in Iowa as at Niagara Falls or
In the Alps. The trouble with all Of
US practical Iowa people Is that we do
not enjoy the beauties Of nature unless
we make business for a time Of loaf
ing. We care more about watching a
hen set than the sun. Why not look
at the attraction which Iowa affords. In

THE SAVINGS HABIT.

LCedar Rapids Republican,
The saving habit. which has been 30
prominently placed before the people
by none Of the banks Of this city, ~
one that can not be encouraged too
much. No amount Of work. at good
wages will do this country any per-
manent good, unless the man and the
women who receive such wages learn
to save part Of those wages. It is the
lack Of the saving habit that IL the
greatest menace to this people. We
are not conservators Of wealth. We
talk about conservation Of forests and
soils, but we do not practice enough
conservation AZ individuals. We are
too prone as q people to demand all
the time the highest wages. and then
most Of NE spend all we get. When we
get more we still continue to spend
that more. We multiply our expendi-
lures even faster than our incomes are
multiplied. we al want to live on
the top. We look at those who receive
more than we DO and strive TO live A.

THE C1TY's GIFT TO THE COUNTY.

value OF farm lands Immediately abut-
ting them by IS an acre on the average.
Most OF the $4,000 which Dubuque
county is going to put into the Hawk
eye Highway along with the govern
ment's $4,000 will come out Of the city
Of Dubuque.
Speaking Of Christmas presents, here
is one Of magnificent proportions.
These presents will be passed
around until the abutters on every
highway shall have something equally
substantial in their stockings For the
work to be done on the Hawkeye High
way Is to be merely the beginning, and
will be followed by improvement Of the
Cascade road and tho other main trav-
elled roads.

Davenport Democrat
You could tell how old person was
this morning. by the exclamation with
which he greeted the snow. when ne
first glanced out the window.
.eHurrah! A white Christmas! was
the greeting of the young in heare.
Youth loves the snow. 1t means coast
ing and snowbailing. the purity ana
tang of the winter air. 1t just mature
ally goes with Christmas. NO one ever
associated Santa Claus with motor
car. The sleigh and the reindeers stu!
belong in the Christmas picture, ana
they can't have natural and adequate
setting without snow.
Snow means better health for every
one. too. "a green Christmas and a
full graveyard" they used to say long
ago before they knew the dust Is fuii
of germs. Without knowing why II
was, they had sensed the fact. ana
this winter particularly. we need lots
Of snow. to protect the trees ana
shrubs, which the dryness Of the ground
leaves in especial danger Of freezing
out. a..
So there were ample reasons fof
those who welcomed the snow.

through parts of New York State,
gale spread over the Atlantic States,
the storm wave predicted in bulletin
of March % was exactly on time and
d severe earthquake was recorded at
Washington but not located.
AS heretofore announced, the loca-
ton of rainfall changed first half Of
April, and the effect of the change
will soon be manifest in the greatly
improved condition of the soil for
farming purposes. But you will want
to know when and where the drouths
and good rains will prevail during the
crop season, therefore read these
bulletins.
Crop seasons of tornado years al
ways bring local floods and local
drouths. This statement has often
been made for 191v and in bulletin of
March %, in forecasts of disturbance
to cross continent March % to 27, was
repeated thus: Precipitation will av-
erage below normal, but heavy rains
will fall lover few small sections"
Similar floods are expected later in
the year and these bulletins will give
their dates and approximate their To-
cations as near as we can. We are
working on the location of floods and
great storms and have reasons for hop
ing that we will be successful. Next
bulletin will give general forecasts for
May and our monthly May charts will
be published soon after the 18th.
