holds office.

T.
The day the writer was in Monte
yuma, showed an old fashioned sight
TO an Iowa man. Iii sumo way one
grain firm. was paying 80 cents for
ear corn, cents bushel more than
the Chicago market would warrant,
and 4 cents more per bushel than other
towns nearby could afford to pay. This
firm had a cinch somewhere. Result
they took in 100 wagon loads one day,
and $4,000 bushels during the week.
Some of us can remember similar
scenes, years ago when the streets were
crowded with loads Of corn and fire.
quently 1t was long after dark before
the last team got on to the scales, and
even then the farmer had to shovel
the ear corn into the crib. Now the
farmer drives near a high corn crib,
behind his wagon on the ground
chute Is placed, the end gate Is re-
moved, the tug unhitched from the
whiffle-trees, an elevator from the
chute on the ground starts carrying
the ear corn up to a twenty-five foot
corn crib. Soon after a wire arrange
ment over the hubs Of the front wheels
lifts slowly up the front end OF the
wagon. the corn runs out, and no one
has done "a stitch of work." Mean
while the shelter is running, receiving
the corn-thru another chute-from
which the corn runs down hill" and
this only stops when another wagon
box takes the place of the filled one.
Dealers here and elsewhere say as
soon as the surplus crop. i.e., the BUSH
els on the ground for which there IS no
crib room, and the renters share which
many have to sell at the market price,
as soon as the two causes OF supply
are ended there will be decided stiff
ening in prices as the average Iowa
farmer does not have to" sell his corn
crop at present prices.

Easter This Year
Earliest in Year,
BY JOHN w. WELLS.

With Easter Sunday coming TIL
year on March %, within one day
the earliest date possible, history hd
not repeated itself since 1S56-fiftl
seven years ago. The history of II
reckoning Of Easter, and how it haI
pens to fall SO early some years, an
so late in other years, is Interestingly
The church authorities, in arranging
tho dates for Easter, have complicate.
things somewhat The rule is tha
Easter Sunday falls on the first Sun
day after the full moon that comes q
or after the 21st of March: but tn
full moon is not the actual full moon
it is what is called the Ecclesiastical
full moon, that is, it is the fourteen
day of the moon, and sometimes IL
astronomical full moon will not be bd
fore the 18th day Of the moon. It
usually the 18th day of the moon, for
lunar month is very nearly twenty nj
and q half days. There are 1854 da1
in twelve lunar months, or there q
twelve lunar months and eleven da
over in a common year.
The effort to make the Easter Sui
day differ from the Jewish Passov
was accomplished by making East

moon on which the Easter reckoning q
based. In 1S45 1t was on the Esd q
March, which was the day Of the actual
full moon.
The lunar cycle is period Of ninel
teen years, in which the moon'1
changes come around to the same da !
of the month. Thus, if the full moo1

the full moon will occur on the 22d Of
March again, but the Sunday follows

So again the next nineteen years. IN
1851, the full moon will be on the same
day Of the month, but the following
Sunday will be the 25th. In 1870 We
again have full moon on the 22d Of
March, and the Sunday following on
the 29th That is one of those close
dates. where the full moon falls on
Sunday In 1889 Easter Sunday Will
be the 26th Of March. and the next
nineteen years after, or zoos it will be
on the 23d of March again, the same az
for 1913. The latest date for Easter Is
the o5th Of April which will be the
date in 1943. The last time that Eastel
was the 25th of April was in 1885
There is an effort Of the present pope
to make Easter certain Sunday after
the 21st of March. While it would les

depart from the old customs, however
complicated they may be.

Topics of the Times

Ever notice that a man who is In
love with his home rarely gets into
trouble?
It's easier to say what we think of
people than to hear what people think
of US.
One Of the ways to get things is to
go to them. In fact, that's the only
way.
1t would be a pretty good resolution
to resolve all the good roads bills into
one real enactment and pass it early in
the session.

MARSHAlLTOWN IN 1912.

The Times Republican, being
and Of statewide interest, very seldom
devotes an entire issue TO the affairs
of its home town, but on this beautiful
New Years day it has seemed fitting
that the best year MarshalltoWn has
ever enjoyed IN its history. and the
year of greatest growth for the Times
Republican, should be cele brated by
comprehensive presentation OF what
has been going on in Marshalltown
during recent months.
No man reading OF those who have
Moved to Marshalltown." and Of the
remarkable building development Of
the past year, can fail to see that the
home town OF the Times Republican
is decidedly on the upward trend. Tn
usual activity in building began two
years ago and has kept gaining in
speed ever since and even turnout the
present winter, thanks to the extra
ordinarily open weather, and the prom
Use now is for even more construction
work for the coming season. Houses
to rent have been so scarce in Mar
shalltown for two years past that one
can usually be had only when some
occupant moves away or builds. None
has seemed to stand waiting.
Today begins an era of dollar gas for
Alarshalltown. and for two months past
our citizens have been enjoying the
cheapest electric lighting Of any city
in the state. Next spring will begin
the doubling of street car mileage in
this city and the growth and develop
given a stimulus never before expert
enced. Expansion Of our public utii-
ties promises wonders for our city, as
it has so long been girdled by man
agement unwilling TO let it expand.
Many miles of paved streets have been
added this year.
here, who return, are heard to remark
with some surprise that "Marshall-
town is certainly looking up" A beau
tifully illuminated Main street, extend
ing for nearly mile from the railway
stations thru the business district es
tablishes the first impression. A mag
prominent corner, creates another
pleasant surprise. The five-story Ma
sonic temple. which most men thought
would stand empty and alone as a
monument to mistaken zeal, is full Of
tenants to the very roof, and yet old
office rooms are scarcely affected. A
citizen has even gained such confidence
in the future that he has plans drawn
for a six story block for the near fut-
ure Three or four architectural
triumDhs in church edifices now adorn
only few years ago, and the last and
most magnificent of them all is al
ready past the architects office and
in the hands Of a building committee.
The 7. NJ. c. A. promises to put up a
$50 600 plant on prominent uptown
site during the coming summer.
In todays issue no attempt has been
made to picture or describe all that
has been established to make Marshall
| town the beautiful home and prosper
GUS manufacturing city that it is. There
| is much here that has so often been
presented on paper until it is pretty

new reputation abroad. Let the out

postoffice can offer 1t will mean that
the express companies have gone crazy.
OF course they haven't. Express pro-
fits have been enormous in years past.
Postal rates might be cut another rs
per cent and the express companies
probably still operate at good profit.

AMMO DOMlNl 1918.

Not a dead year but new one. Not
a death but a birth Not the passing
but the promise Of things. The out-
look IS forward. Eyes front.
The first question man ask Of the
new year is what OF prosperity. Inc
answer is satisfactory. All the ma
tons Of Europe point to the past year
as one Of great national prosperity ana
Of trade expansion. There is our market
for our surplus. If they are in condi-
ton to buy we should be able to sell at
satisfactory prices. Last year was
record twelvenonth in the commerce
of the United States with foreign ma
lions. we sold abroad over S3O0,OOo,OVV
more than ever before. our interna.
commerce was tremendous in volume.
Returning to the figures Of foreign
trade last week expansion of foreign
commerce from New York broke al
records. EXPORTS were more than 81
100000 more than in 1911, s1I000,O0U
more than in 1910 and we sold over S.
100000 more than We bought. The eN-
pansion is everywhere, abroad as at
home We raise the stuff TO sell The
market is good The United States is
in precisely the same situation as the
merchant whose community is pros
porous and with the money and inclin-
alton to buy.
The big crops Of this year are water
on the wheels of prosperity. If prices
are somewhat lower there is no loud
outcry from the farms nor any slack
ening in previous plans ard projects.
The farmer who had intended to buy
another quarter section has not
changed his plans, the one who had
planned a new barn or house is going
on with his architect and his lumber
dealer The city resident IS breaking
ground for his new dwelling. Conf
dence is undisturbed by the change Of
administration. With all looking for
ward the outlook is toward prosperity.
We are at peace and there is no ru-
NOR Of war and disturbance of annie
able relations with other nations. We
have long been a peace. With the eX-
ceptior Of the Spanish war this country
has enjoyed practically a half century
Of peace To enter upon a new year
in national friendIiness with our neigh
BIS is to add another blessing to our
prospects.
Iowa goes to meet the new year with
justified faith and hopefulness. Never
has the state been so great in every
avenue Of endeavor. never her pros
poets of future greatness so tlourishing.
Iowa comes to the new year strong in
her past and sure of her future.
All the world begins this new year
under better conditions than any New
Years day that ever dawned. Oppor-
tunity stands taller for every man than
ever before. There is more chance for
the young man than ever in the worlds
history. There is more chance for old
men and for women. There is more
thought Of the poor, more and better
understanding Of the common rights Of
humanity.
The year is ours It will be what we
make ii.

A little smile from one who was
stranger
Made glad a child's sad face.
And 10, it was as If day of sunshine
Dawned in the market place!
A little word that angry thoughts made
bitter
Was spoken to a friend
And a hurt heart ached OIL in grieved
dumb silence
Until the long days end,
A little frown from one Of whom
conlrade
Sought help in time Of need
Crushed the last hope Of one whose
heart was starving
For kindly word and deed.
These little things of life-but, oh! how
mighty
They are for good or ill
To bless or bIight-to ease anothers
burden,
Or make It heavier still
Oh. be It mine by deed or work OF kind
To strengthen for the strife
Weak hands and hearts that sorc'y lack
the courage
To make the NEST Of life.
