Some time ago in small town one
heard much Of new preacher who was
reforming the non church goers by
hitting them over the head speaking
in parallels He had the village
blacksmith fighting mad because OF
language used. This preacher seemed
to have the idea that his duty was to
reprove men for their wickedness. that
Is. wickedness from the preachers point
of view This preacher was particu-
larry severe on all who failed to at
tend church services and all forms or
Sabbath dissertation. And he did not
hesitate to jump on any one, IN
stores. postoffice or railroad depot. one
hardened sinner said he had to preach
to these men in these places because
none Of them would enter his church.
Probably this preacher is doing his
duty as he understands duty. but Just
the same the members Of the church
are not going to ask him Ito stay

The county and city now Jointly
maintain a hospital for contagious dis
eases, in connection with which there
Is opportunity for the most approved
treatment for consumptives. They
could be cared for in cottages. AS
fresh air, sunlight and diet are the
principal items in the modern treat
ment of tuberculosis, the simpler ac-
conmodations thus presented would
be positively better than those offered
by a large general hospital building.
The required buildings could be pre-
pared at an Insignificant expense, and
the cost of maintenance would be rela-
lively light. There would be no need
for a bond issue. Under this arrange
ment the county could care for Its
tuberculosis and contagious diseases
at the detention hospital and In sur
rounding cottages. while paying for
treatment at the general hospitals for
other medical treatment for which the
county might be responsible. The ar
rangement would be much more eco
nomical than one by which consump-
tives would be treated at a large gen.
eral hospital while a separate institu-
diseases Economy alone. of course
should not be the governing consider
alton If either the consumptives or
any other class of patients would be
better off under the county hospital
plan it ought to be followed. 1t is the
boards idea, however that all classes
of patients could be cared for as Well
or better under the cheaper plan, While
the taxpayers would save not only an
original investment of 100000, out
a possible maintenance charge of nall
as much annually.
There are counties where the county
hospital as provided unde. the present
law may fill long felt want. This
would be the fact in county which
now does not possess adequate general
hospital facilities There the county
would be conferring a hoon on the
public by build ing a large general hos
pital and throwing it open for all kinds
of hospital service. Such an invest
ment might easily mean sound econ
omy. The plan does not meet the spe-
cial needs of the antituhercuiosis cam
paigu. however That special need has
as vet been met neffec,ively by the
state in the construction Of state

Uncle Joe Cannon, from his banville

Egypt's dark sea. In the Saturday
Evening Post lately, he d!ssertates on
the evils of progress. He draws PIC
ture of past prosperity, attributes IL 4

that we should turn our backs on the
future and continue TO gaze gratefully
on this portrait. He forgets that while
we are descendants of the past we are
also parents OF the future. TammanS

SOMETHING NEEDED ON THE FARM.

One thing usually lacking but much
needed on the farm IS the farmers Of
fee. The average farmer in Iowa has
none When factory is started one
Of the first and most important of its
beginnings is TO organize the office.
That is the counting and checking part
Of the business. II mast know and
have an accounting of every piece of
material that comes in and every I'm
ished part that goes out. II must keep
the time Of workers, pay them, know
to a cent the income and expenditures
% the entire business. 1t must be able
to show what the business is making
CT losing and how and where. Il must
do all this in cold black and red figures.
IL is the real place Where the factory
does business.
An Iowa farm is a factory. 1t works
with raw material and turns off fin
ed product. 1t employs help. 1t has
its machinery of production. 1t has
its general manager. Its investment
is often more than that OF the factory.
But generally it hasn't any office, 1t
doesn't keep capable set OF books.
In general way the general mana ger
knows how much came in and how
much went off the place and at what
prices. But if he desired 10 strike d
true trial balance he couldn't Go il to
save his life.
A farmer on Iowa's 5000 an acre
land should know exactly what a bush
crib He should know Just what pro-
fl or loss he made on his feeding
steers. He ought to be able to give
exact figures. For exact figures are
the only exac; basis on which 10 base
Judgment.
When the factory machinery becomes
worn il is replaced. Il invention has
nut new machinery capable OF doing
faster and better work and creating
more profit on the market the factory
must Junk it's machines thus anti
quated and supply itself with those
which viii enable it To meet competi
ton. BUT now many farmers know
wha, each mich COW is doing for hin .
How many COWS are losing money in
stead OF making it for their owners
How many farmers who keep cows
have a Babcock test on the place
know how 10 use and DO Use ii? Those
who do are not keeping worthless ami
mails. The butcher gets them and their
places are filled ny cows that render a
profit for every ear of corn or blade
Of grass they consume.
This Iowa farming business is 4 ser
ious proposition. When half sec
ton farm requires the investment Of
100000 to $4,000 to create the plant
ana supply the machinery and raw ma
tcrial 70 start i. is time the office
were organized. Every Iowa farmer
should have either in his house or his
rranary or scale house a little office
p.hero the accounts OF The farm may
be and should be kept, where he can
talk business or study It in quiet- He
ought to ne able 10 strike balance

Of the new business done the profits

COUNTY HOSPITAL SOLUTION.


Al.ho the voters of Woodbury. coun
ty have declared in favor Of 100000
county hospital, the board Of super
visors has decided not to make the i'm :
provement at this time. In thus re-
versing the popular decision the board
oubtedly is acting in the interest OF
sound economy as it appears TO Its
members and TO most OF those with
whom members have advised. While
the board probabi could be compelled
by mandamus proceedings TO appoint
trustees and take other steps required
by law for the building Of county
hospital. it is doubtful whether sucn
an effort Will he undertaken. The fact
seems to be that the board has com :
mon sense on its side.
The county hospital proposition was
submitted last fall under neat and
rather ambiguous law. The law au-
thorizes a bond issue for It county hos
pital at which tubercular and other
patients may be treated. The project
was earnestly supported in this county
by the forces organized for the hSht
against tuberculosis Voters were urged
to support the bond issue as an i'm :
portant contribution to the fight against
tuberculosis. There appears to be no
reason to doubt that nine out of ten
voters who supported the county hos
pital thought they were voting Tor a
straight tuberculosis sanitarium.
Under the law. however, the board
of supervisors finds it is required te
build and maintain a general county
hospital in which the treatment o,
tuberculosis is only incidental The
board finds that II 100000 hosp1ta
building is constructed the annua
maintenance charges will be $4,000 o,
$4,000. Such an establishment NIGH

PLAYING WITH MATCHES.

The Iowa Business Mems Temper
ance Association. al its annual meeting
in Oskaloosa Saturday, decided to at
tack the nulct law and to start at once
a campaign for It's repeal. The report
states that this resolution was adopted
by unanimous vote.
In the opinion of the Times Repub-
lican the association has made a very
serious mistake and one which If per
sisted in Will result in a serious set
back TO the temperance movement
which has been so steadily doing things
in iowa 1t seems to have given small
note to the rapid advancement which
is being made and to have attempted
to rush an entrenched enemy whose
outworks are falling one by one stead
lily and who in the natural course Of
events must surrender to public opin
ion and the restrictive legislation
which is and VIII be the result Of he
growth of completer understanding Of
the question.

dogs and the success Of tho expert.
ment that reports have been ohicialiy
asked for by the various European mil.
itary authorities concerning the spe-
cial training Of the dogs.
For several years perfectly trained
police dogs have been found invaluable
in Paris and they have been assigned
to important duties. All along the
banks Of the Seine dogs watch for ac-
cidents. II a careless passenger or an
unwary boatman falls OF one Of the
many boats and barges plying con.
stantly up and down the Seine one Of
the big. beautiful Newfoundland river
guards bounds into the water to the
rescue, barking to give the alarm and
often swimming with the limp body to
the shore. Even the bridges are close
~ watched by the dogs. for from the
Seine bridges many despairing men
and women leap into the river, hoping
thus to end their misery.
II IL now believed that countless
railway wrecks due to deliberate de-
lions were policed by dogs. Their eff
fcacy in this duty has been unques.
tionably proved in the Balkan war.
Dogs are now used to escort prison
ers to and from jail in Paris. They
will courageously attack their enemy
even when fred upon, az notorious
bandit found to his cost during a re-
cent struggle to escape while Being
conveyed to trial. This is q result
obtained by careful training.
How to defend his master is another
important lesson taught the police dog.
The dog must snarl and bite as soon
as an attempt to hold UP his master IL
made. In this the police dog is de.
veloping marvellous qualities.
Guarding property Is another Of the
police dogs duties. and in this also
he has proved himself an adept. Ar
ticles left in his care are safe and
faithfully watched.
His moral training forms as much Of
police dogs education az his pro-
fessional lessons. He Is taught to be
honest and faithful and not to accept
bribe. The latter is important be-
cause poisoned meat Ii often offered
to these dogs. The police dog soon
learns to eat nothing but what his
master serves him and is an example
to many men in his resistance to temp
tation.
