A GOOD WORK.

Such institutions as the Christian
Home Orphanage of Council Bluffs,
and there are others in Iowa equally
deserving, are places where the gen.
uine brands of Christian duty and
work are performed. There are quite
a few people in Webster City and
Hamilton county who have contrib
uted to the success of these institu-
tions and the Freeman-Tribune be-
lieves that every dollar expended in
such worthy cause does as much
good as any dollar possibly can. In
the orphanage at Council Bluffs
thousands of helpless children find a
home, children who would otherwise
be county charges or perhaps adopt
ed into homes unfit for the delicate
and responsible duties of rearing
them. The home at Council Bluffs
takes all children offered and so far
as possible these children are placed
in good families where they will be
surrounded with right influences and
given fair chance in the race of
life. Is there anything more praise
worthy? Is there any institution
more deserving of the good will, en-
couragement and financial aid of
Christian men and women? The
number of orphans at the home dur
ing the first ten months of the pres
ent year exceeds the record of any
entire previous year. The daily av-
rage number this year has been 262.
The institution has been greatly
pressed for funds during the year to
meet the necessary expenses, and
strong effort is now being made to
raise sufficient funds at Thanksgiy-
ing to free the work of all debt No
doubt many of our readers will be
glad to forward a contribution to the
Home, to help make the Thanksgiv-
ing offering sufficient to relieve this
good work of load of debt that is
and retarding it in it's ef-
forts for the homeless.

AGAINST PUBLICITY.
edar Rapids Republican


have queer commissioners in
Des Moines. One of them, named
VanLiew, complains that newspaper
reporters cost the taxpayers $1,000
year at the city hall alone. He
figures this out in the form OF time
consumed by the commissioners talk
ing to reporters who come ''snoop-
ing" around. Of course the poor
commissioners cannot help giving up
their time, for if they did not de-
vote it to the reporter the newspap-
ers would roast them. They are
literally held up and compelled to
waste all that precious time which
they might otherwise devote to the
affairs Of the public.
This is an entirely new theory
and also new viewpoint. We have
never seen it brought out before in
exactly the same way. But, study
ing the results in Des Moines, we
would be inclined to the belief that
the less time the commissioners de-
vote to business the better for the
taxpayers. If they can do so badly
for the city with the time they can
spare from the reporters, how badly
would they do if they could give all
their time to the public business.
The thought also occurs to one
what those commissioners would do,
if they did not fear the constant
exposure of the newspapers. 1t
strikes some men that that is about
the only force that acts as re-
straint on some officials. Mr. Van
Lew is obsessed with the idea that
the city's business is the business
of the commissioner, and not Of the
public. He fails to take the tax
payers into consideration. The peo-
pie want to know what is going on.
They are vitally interested. Each
one cannot go to the city hall. as a
stockholder in the corporation and
look over the doings and the books.
The newspaper reporters represent
the people, they examine and they
report for them. While they may
occupy few minutes of the COM
missioners' time, each day, they save
hours of time for the taxpayers and
stockholders in the municipal cor

WHEN IS AN OLD MAN?

Marshalltown Times-Republican
Just what is an old man? When
does he deserve and acquire the full
title when is a man old?
When he loses his interest in life
and in mankind. When he begins
to hide away from other men as old
and injured wild animals creep away
to die. When he loses the smile
from his lips. That's when.
1t isn't wrinkles. Gray hair has
nothing to do with it. 1t isn't in
wealth or position or class or color.
Nothing was ever said more true than
the sentence, "a man is as old as he
feels.''
There's common receipt for
growing old that never fails. If you
you are in business shut yourself up
tight in the smallest Office room pos
sible. Keep the door shut. Have
wax in your ears. Don't hear any
thing outside. Don't let anybody
in to tell you anything unless it is
something that puts immediate
profits in the till. If you keep the
little cubicle where you work over
heated that will help the process
along. Don't play. Don't work at
anything but your own little job.
Hate folks. Mix these ingredients
together and apply daily for few
years. You'll be old fast enough.
Old enough to die and be buried
pretty soon. Old enough to be dead
to all common intents and purposes
even if you insist on breathing and
staying above ground.
A man isn't old simply through
years. Sometimes he isn't old when
he is decrepit. Men are just as old
as they make themselves. The man
who isn't Of any earthly use to any,
one but himself is older than Me-
thuseleh. The man who takes no
interest in anything or anybody but
himself, might as we'll be dead and
buried except as to his personal
objections to the funeral. That's
how old a man is.
The best thing a man can do is
to stay middle aged until he dies.
1t can be done. Some men we all
know are so withered of soul at 40
that the undertaken might back his
hearse up to their door without
general objection. Others are mid
die aged at so. There's no good
reason for growing shell out of
the years and creeping in like
clam to close it from the inside.
The system is to stay middle aged
and there's only one way to do that.
Keep in touch with men, keep in
touch with things, with the town
and the farms and the daily ac-
tivities of life.
A man is as old as he acts.

Congressman from this district, no
one has as yet made any statement
of them. This paper opposed Mr..
Woods the first time he ran, as he
was running against personal
friend of the writer. In his last cam
paign we happened to get next to
his complete system of campaign
work. He is a good worker for him
self and at the same time he places
himself at the command of his con-
stituents and does as much for them
as anybody else could possibly do.

The Vinton Eagle thinks Senator
Cummins should decline to be can
didate for reelection in the event OF
any considerable number of republi-
cans being against his nomination.
If the Eagle will present a man in
Iowa of senatorial size who would
not have strong opposition as a can
didate it's suggestions in respect to
Senator Cummins might receive
some consideration. The Eagle was
not so anxious to have a united re-
publican party back of the head of
the ticket when Taft was crowded
into the nomination against the pro-
tests of a large majority of republi-
cans who took part in the primaries
in the various states. 1t can be pre-
dicted, however, that if Senator
Cummins doesn't make better
showing at the primaries than Taft
did he will not be the republican
nominee for senator.
Some of the friends Of Hon. Frank
P. Woods in Hamilton county are
considerably perturbed over the re-
port that Judge Quarton is going to
be the progressive candidate for

they have reason to be perturbed,
for Judge Quarton is one of the best
campaigners in the district and is
very popular among all classes of
people. If the republicans nominate
Mr.. Woods, the progressives Mr..
Quarton and the democrats strong
man, there will be the warmest fight
in this district in it's history. Here
tofore a republican nomination in
the Tenth was equivalent to an elec-
tion, but the situation is vastly diff
ferent at present. The district is
strongly progressive-not strongly
third party progressive-but strong
ly in favor of progressive principles
and the third party promises to split
the republican vote not far from the
middle. That, possibly, might let a
democrat slip in.

CANADA WINS AGAIN
THE COLORADO SILVER TROPHY
FOR OATS WON A SECOND
TIME BY CANADA

The most recent achievement of
Canada's West is winning for the sec
ond time the magnificent 81 500 silver
trophy awarded by the State OF Colo
RADIO for the best peck of oats. At
Columbus. Ohio, in 1911, ]. c. Hill G.
Sons Of Lloydminster, Saskatchewan,
placed peck OF oats grown on their
farm in competition, with cats from
every part OF the world The Judges
had no difficulty in deciding. and the
award was given 10 the Saskatchewan
grown cats. In 1912, the Corn Expo
sition had no exhibition, and our Ca
madam friends, although ready for a
second contest had no opportunity
In 1913, the exhibition OF the Society
was held at Columbus, S. c., and it is
said Of It that it was one of the best
yet held. 1t this exhibition, which
comprised corn and all the smaller
grains. Hill & Sons OF Lloydminster
had on exhibition for the contest an
other peck Of oats grown on their
Saskatchewan farm, in 1912 There
was nc trouble for the judges, no time
necessarily lost III reaching a decision,
Hill s Sons won, and for the second
time their name will appear on the
crest Of the cup. The third space will
doubtless be occupied by their name,
and then this splendid trophy viii be
theirs.
During the past few years Western
Canada grains-wheat, oats, barley and
fax-haye been in competition with
grains from all other countries, and in
every case their superiority has been
shown. It is not only in oats, but it
is in wheat, in barley and in fax, that
Canada more than holds its own, when
placed side by side with grains from
other parts.
Mixed farming is taking a strong
hold not only in those parts OF Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta,
which up 10 the present have been de-
voted solely to grain growing, but also
in the districts contiguous, where the
conditions of climate, shelter, water,
grass and hay make farming of this
kind, easy to prosecute and large in
profits. 1t was in the Province of
Manitoba that the steer was raised
that carried off the Championship of
the steer class, at Chicago last De-
cember. This beast had been fattened
on the grass and hay of the Province
| and the only finishing grain it had was
barley; not an ounce Of corn.

able opportunities for the big farmer

CHARGE ON THE COMMUNITY
Care of Those Afflicted With Tubercu-
Iosis Plainly a Drag on the
General Welfare.

Dr. II. L. Barnes, superintendent of
the Rhode Island state sanatorium,
has recently demonstrated by some
interesting studies Of patients dis
charged as apparently cured" from
that institution, that a sanatorium is
a sound Investment for any state or
city. The gross earnings of 40 ex-
patients obtained in 1911 amounted to
SI02, 1852. and those of 211 cases in
1912 to $112,021. By applying the
same average earnings to all ex-pa-
tients of the sanatorium living in 1911
and 1912. DR.. Barnes concludes that
their income in these two years was
1851 900 This sum is more than three
times the cost of maintenance of the
sanatorium, including interest at 1
per cent on the original investment
and depreciation charges. DR.. Barnes
concludes however, while institu-
tiOns for the cure of tuberculosis are
good investments, there is good rea-
son for thinking that institutions for
the isolation of far advanced cases
would be still better investments"
