LETS NOT BE NIGGARDLY.

AS we stood upon the capitol

and looked at the measly surroundings,
we could not help having little sym
pathy for the people who are bent
upon improving the same, ana II all the
favorable sentiment is located IN Des

grand state institution Is set upon
pretty knoll. surrounded by snacks ana
sheds, presenting very disgusting
sight especially in some directions
Iowa is 100 grand state, and too rich
a commonwealth to permit 1t. AS 20
the valuation of this land, we would
not care to hazard guess. but II there
is just ground for suspicion OF hold
up or of graft in the purchase OF these
lands. there Is way out or 1t Witnout
defeating the end in view. Let there
be an appraisement. One thing Is DEAD
sure-,he land will never be any
cheaper. Just why there should be any
prejudice against Des Molnes IN this
matter, we are at loss to understand

there must be a lot of monotony IN city
life, and a great scarcity OF beauty

state to do all its fixing up. 1t might be
different. but she seems 20 be doing
nobly herself, spending her money
lavishly on public improvements. GO
about the city and view the work. See
their river front and note what is being
done, look over the parks, and see the
city buildings. Des Moines is doing her
part. and she is not asking too much
Of the state to help a little. Let's not
be niggardiy, but insist upon fair wall

HOG CHOLERA LOSS AND PREVENTION

DR.. Niles Of the government bureau
of animal industry is to be in Mar
shalltown Saturday to make a demon
stration before the local farmers on
the subject of hog cholera. DR.. Melvin.
chief Of the bureau writes that he con-
siders DIR. Niles enc of the two best
ment for this purpose in the employ OF
the bureau.
The farmers and all who are deeply
interested in the prosperity of the
county will do we'll to give DR.. Niles
great audience. There is no drain up-
on Iowa comparable with that caused
by hog cholera. The money sent out OF
the state and county in purchases
brings something in; hog cholera Is
total loss to all business interests. 1t is
as tho so many millions of dollars were
gathered and burned in a bonfire every
year in Iowa as an offering to the gods
Of ignorance and carelessness. Every
one of US Is interested with the farm
ers in this demonstration.
It is idle to sit ia home and argue
pro and con on the question of whether
Or not the serum is complete specific.
The thing to do is to learn all that may
be learned from those who have de-
voted their scientific knowledge and
their best efforts to combat the dis
ease The thing for the Marshall coun-
ty farmer and business man to do is to
find out all he can. act on the best
knowledge he can obtain and get
busy.
Down in Dallas county they got
busy. The government has inoculated
and; is watching and treating 200
Dallas county hogs. Suppose it saves
that county $500 hogs averaging SO
pounds; the farmers and bankers and
business men and workers Of Dallas
will handle about $4,000 more good
money than If these hogs had been
burned or buried or dragged out into
q back pasture to poison men and In
feet more hogs.
Dr. Niles and the bureau Of animal
industry represent the latest scientific
understanding Of the diseases Of ami
mails, the most approved and scientific
treatments and care for all domestic
animals. On the subject Of hog cholera

neither question nor argument every

Six Of his eight children are OF

impossibility for this father in the

Two alternatives are left for the

The Wanted equal opportunities

mockery when children are kept from

mands made upon the truant OFFICER
are many and the means at his COM
mand extremely limited. Neither is the
case here mentioned an isolated one
or even as aggravated a case as some

There is no need that these children
should be without necessary clothing
to attend school. There is no need
that the truant officer should have
added to his other labors the burden
of providing clothing for the unfortu-

would be exceedingly poor without the

Of an oppressor, either. Wellington did

THE CAUSE OF ACCIDENT.

The distressing automobile accident
that happened near Tama last week
emphasizes the necessity Of auto driv-
ers being always on the lookout. The
roadway where the accident happened
was wide enough and comparatively
smooth. The only explanation OF the
accident is that for moment the drfv-
er looked away from his steering and
in that moment the car went wrong.
The driver of an auto, loaded with
human freight, can not for q moment
afford to take his eye Of the rcsG1,yay
ahead of him unless he IL on . roadway
