INCREASED LAND PRICES.
rAl1ona Republican,

The value Of farm lands have IN
creased greatly In the past few years.
The advance in prices has not been
the result of wild cat speculation,
but Is caused by the demand for foo6
stuffs raised on the farm. The popu-
lation Of the United States Increased
about 100000 during the past ten
years. This makes it necessary 10
produce more food. Farm lanos
are being produced in various locai-
ties thru drainage and irrigation
but the fact remains that the acreage
OF the lands, fertile and capable o.
raising crops, are so many ana no
more, and never will there be more.
The people OF the middle west are
now coming into their own. The east
needs foodstuffs, many foreign coun-
tries are not raising the necessary
amount cf produce for home consump-
ton, consequently it must he pur-
chased from the outside. The IN
crease in population is greater than
the increase in reclaimed acreage.
With these conditions there is no
telling where the price of land Will
stop. Five years ago an Iowa states
man remarked within ten years
every acre of land in Iowa that wilt
raise corn will be worth $780," and
today, in one half the lime given in
the prophecy. we find the statement
more than true. When we realize the
fact that no more farm land is being
created, and the demand for farm
produce is increasing and will con-
tinue to increase with the growing
population. we can readily see that
the value of the lands producing these
food stuffs will increase accordingly.
Thousands of acres Of Iowa land are
changing hands daily. We are in the
center Of the most fertile corn belt OF
the globe, with never a failure OF
crops Why then should not the
land in this great state command the
highest values. AT the present rate OF
increase, good farm lands in this state
Will he valued at $500 an acre
in a short time. Already much land
has been sold al better than 5000 al
acre that could have been purchased
for $50 ten years ago. The man who
has a piece of Iowa corn land and !s
in shape to held it for few years
will make larger percent upon his
investment than could possibly be
made in any other business. Land
priced a $3.50 an acre is common in
Iowa. and especially in Kossuth
county, While in some counties it is
even higher. 1t only remains for
this land to pass out Of the hands of
Spectator to the practical farmer for
home. which is constantly occurring.
to bring about the most modern AMI
economical improvements Iowa land
is best" should be the motto of
every Iowa farmer. The pessimist
sees great dangers ahead. panics,
hard times, poorhouse and grave, but
the sensible man sees nothing but the
greatest era of prosperity, health and
happiness the world has ever seen
and VIII invest, live and die happy

who know of the case are incensed at

a crazy old lady, but years had crept
on and she had grown feeble and was

carted her down to the asrlum. Some
day she will die and he- estate will
be divided among those who sent her
over the hill to the asylum" Really
those who are the cause "f her being
placed in the asylum should share
nothing in what she has. AS stated
above the neighbors are rampant about
the matter and their censure seems to
be directed in the right direction.

A GRUMPY FARMERS 1NcoME.

I TIE TFUNUN DeNOCTHII
One farmer in this county who farms
$50 acre place says. that the income
tax would get him if he continued in
the business. He said he has kept as
careful an account of the receipts and
expenditures from his place as any
business man in town does and that his
average income above all expenses
from this $50 acre farm during the past
four years was $4,000 year. This
man is both a practical and a scientific
farmer and his net income of 1900 an
farmer and his net income Of $40 an
average. But what this farmer has
done and is doing every farmer who
rem enbers that man is worth more
from the eyes UP than he is from the
eyes down can do.

IN THIRTY-NINE YEARS.
[Grundy Democrat. ]


A good German who moved on a
farm in Grundy county thirty nine
years ago had to mortgage his COW to
secure a grocery bill. When the bill
came due he couldn't pay it and the
grocer took the COW. That would have
been down and out blow to many an
other man who lacked the proper cour-
age and staying qualities. This Ger
man parted with his COW when he had
to and he and his family lived on 4
water diet until they could get another.
This same farmer died a few days ago
and he left an estate worth 100000.
Every dollar of that fortune was made
without a dollar of capital to begin on
in Grundy county. If the advertising
agents in the west and in the cheaper
sections had a case like this to work up
they would use a carload of printed
matter to give the story to the world
Here we have got SO use to this sort
of thing that we give but a little
more than passing notice.

I'LL Sorts of Opinion
He'll Right in Chicago.

Is there hell:" was the subject Of
a sermon by Rev. PA White, pastor
Of the Peoples Liberal Church He an
s"ered the question in the affirmative.
There is not one:1 but many Of them"
he said. Where. are they located Z?
Here in the world Some OF them here
in Chicago. '@
The really essential thing in the old
orthodox hell said DR.. White, was
not that II was d place, but that it was
condition. A fanciful theology To-
Gated he'll beyond this life, adorned it
with picturesque devils decorated with
horns, hoofs and tails, and supplied it
literally with fiery furnaces and vari-
Gus appliances for convincing the sin
ner that the way of the transgressor
was hard one. But the essential thing
was that hell involved suffering, pun
shment and separation from the good.
ExpIsins Sin Was Sinful.
However crude the conception the
theological doctrine of hell held in So
luton the scientific doctrine OF cause
and effect a dimly perceived notion of
justice. 1t was an unintelligent way Of
expressing a belief that sin was sinful
and awful deserving OF punishment
and sure Of getting it.
Modern science has demonstrated
and systematized truths that an unin-
teligent theology d;mly grasped and
crudely stated. The law Of cause and
effect is sure law and a terrible one.
IF man, young or Old will not
live a decent life on his own account,
IF he invites an entrance into hell
Of suffering and remorse for himself.
let him pause before he drags others
with him.
"If a city will permit slurns. insan-
itation, lack of light and fresh air, it
must expect to breed hell of physical
suffering for thousands, most Of whom
are innocent, being ignorant and in
capable.
Must Expect Suffering.
IF official caceicssness permits dens
of vice to flourish, if society winks at
the thousand sources OF social corrup-
ton, it must expect hell Of social
shame, suffering and dishonor.
1.-The bells the church and society
need to fight are here in this world
hells which society itself largely Gre
ates or makes possible. The business
of the church is not with some fanciful
and uncertain hell in the future, but
with the sure and certain and terrible
nells of this world"
Church Soothing Syrup Day.
I'VE are passing thru the soothing
! syrup period in religion just now" said
! Rev. Hugh T. Kerr, pastor Of the Full
| lerton Avenue Presbyterian church. IN
his discourse on Making the Most of
Life"
| There are people who think II they
can lull the conscience &c sleep and
blind the vision to sin everything harm
full will turn out to be an illusion" ne
said. Until man 10 ready to take up
the battle against all sorts Of sin inside
OF himself and out in the world he
must not count himself q christian.
Life to this man was race, and
the important thing about E. race ID not
the course over which it 10 run. but the
goal to which the runner sttains. Peo-
pie may be divided into two classes
drivers and drifters. and to be drift
er, derelict upon the high seas, Is not
only to be useless burden but to be
the most menacing thing imaginable"

GOOD PRICES FOR THE CALVES.
Hardin County Ledeerl

Hardin County Led ger]
Fl. A. Hall, one of Hardin county's
wide awake and progressive farmers,
on the occasion OF a recent call at The
Ledger office related his experience in
letting calves follow their mothers in
stead Of feeding them by hand. He had
just sold a bunch Of calves. eleven in
number, for $50 each. They were
spring calves, about six months old and
had run with the cows until sold. Mr.
Hall said that other calves Of the same
age, which had been hand fed and
which were as good as the average Of
such would have brought probably not
more than $50 each. He believes
that If one figures closely the value of
the labor required in milking the cows,
caring for the milk and feeding the
calves the cost of this labor and the
added price one will receive for the
sucking calves at five or six months
above the price for hand fed calves
will more than balance the amount re-
ceived for cream sold under the other
plan.
