YOUR hundred and six years ago,
~ in 1907, this continent received
i its name, America. II was a
German scholar who decided
that the vast, newly found land across
the seas was old enough to be named.
He was the one man in the world with
the wit to see the possibilities of a
continent named America and the only
one with such sense of sympathy that
II made his heart ache TO see half
grown eountry-almost big enough for
long rousers-running around unclas-
sified. The name Of this unknown
great was FT. Martin Waltzemuller,
who hailed from Freiburg in Breisgau,
and was a professor at st. Die in the
Lorraine. Despite the fact that he gave
us a name that is now matter Of ma
tional pride and is liked by everybody
but those who come here from lands

and something should be done in the
way of presenting substantial mark
Of esteem TO him, or, at least, to his
widow, if she has been left in want, al
is more than often the case with the
reliets of literary gentlemen.
In naming America, Martin went al
it in the regulation way. He wrote 9
book, which he called geography, and
in it he placed a cute pink smudge and
labeled this America In his introdue
tion, he said: "And the fourth part
of the world having been discovered
by Amerigo or Americas, we may cal
it America That was all, but thu
name stuck like burr and now, NOR,
than 400 years later, seems as fresh a

name that wore well.

two years, the English had heard o

Rearing Child Costs $40 a Year

Interesting facts in connection
with the cost of rearing children
were revealed in the annual report
issued by the Chicago Nursery and
Half-Orphan Asylum, which has been
in constant operation since 1860 and
has cared for more than $500 child
rem for periods varying from a few
weeks to several years since 1874.
According to the report of that in
istitution from 1874 to 1883 the cost
of maintaining one child for a year
was $79.9S, while in the period
from 1884 to 1893 it was S8S.6S.
From 1894 to 1903 this cost was
about $1O1.45, while in the period
from 1904 up to the present time it
has cost approximately $4,000 a
child year, according to the report.
The purpose of the institution is
TO give to such children of the wor-
thy poor as are deprived by death or
other cause of the protection and
support of either parent a temporary.
comfortable home with educational
advantages according to their age in
a home kindergarten or in a public
school. The surviving parent, re-
.ieVed of the daily care of the child,
is enabled to seek employment and
is not made dependent.
Except In destitute cases, when the
entire expense is borne by the insti-
tuition, the parent is required to
pay small weekly fee toward the
maintenance of each child.
In cases of emergency arising from
illness or other causes the fee is re-
mitted until the parent RECEIVERS his
position.

GREAT POPCORN STATE.
Iowa Leads World i'm Production of
Popular Edible.

Ames, Dec. S.-Iowa has gained
leadership among all the states of
the union in another crop-popcorn.
In fact, by far the largest per cent
of the popcorn produced in the Unit
ed States is grown in Iowa, the
amount contributed by other states
being mere handful as compared to
that grown in Iowa.
In 1912, according to the figures
furnished by the township assessors,
Iowa had 1926 acres in popcorn,
and the total yield was 6475S7
bushels.
The largest figures we have from
other states are those of 1909. In
that year Iowa produced 1892
bushels, which was then more than
SO per cent greater than that pro-
duced by the ten other states in the
union where popcorn is grown. That
year Nebraska ranked second and
Kansas third in popcorn production.
Two Iowa counties produce most
of the popcorn CT Iowa-Sac county
which grew 32S,904 bushels in 1912,
from S,40S acres, and Ida county,
which grew 1S2,967 bushels last
year, from SAP acres, A news item
from the Ida County Pioneer, of Oct.
%, tells of one Ida county man who
has just sold his 1913 popcorn crop,
and it brought him $51 per acre
Odebolt, Arthur, Ida Grove, Battle
Creek, Schaller and Wall Lake are
recognized as popcorn centers in
Iowa.
The United States department OF
agriculture, in bulletin No. 554, de.
clares that ANY soil that is adapted
to field corn will produce popcorn. >
1t says further, regarding the cul
ture of this crop: For best results
the soil should be fertile and well
drained The crop prefers a soil OF
the sandy loan type. Avoid low
muck or peat soils, as they tend tt
retard maturity in the fall. Where
grown for commercial purposes, pop
corn usually takes the place of the
ordinary field corn in a rotation

Intelligent Sa,esmanshin.

The intelligent merchant feels as
i'll satisfied as does the buyer, if in
his store a purchase is made that
was i'll judged. The purchaser has
a sense of chagrin for one sum OF
money i'll spent. The merchant
thinks not merely of that one pur-
chase but rightly fears that the buy
er will avoid his store indefinitely.
So the buying public gets very
different kind Of service from stores
located near by, and from those in
some distant city,
The big metropolitan emporium
does not make much effort to estab-
fish close personal relations with
clients. 1t could not If 1t would.
Most of those who buy are strangers.
A constant rotation of different IA
ces tramps through the place.
The results of an unsatisfactory
sale are not very apparent to the
metropolitan store. 1t may be more
bother to obtain satisfaction than
the thing is worth. The clerk that
made the sale and the proprietor tina;
profited by it are not usually made
to realize that an advantage was
taken of the buyer.
When certain proportion of the
customers of big metropolitan
store become dissatisfied, there arc
always others to take their places
drawn by advertising.
Under these conditions, a metro
politan store becomes too Independent
OF the public. 1t takes less pains t.
give intelligent attention. 1t is no
so careful to tell purchasers JUS
what goods are, or to warn then
against mistakes. Less time is tax
en- to explain the character of goods
The larger proportion of the clerk
are young and inexperienced, no
competent to help purchasers i
they wanted to.
How different from this is the ser
vice rendered by the store nea
home. The merchant and clerk
know many of the customers per
sonally. They know that every pur
chase must please, or an indiyidua
account is lost. This constitute
real guarantee back of your par
chase.
