IOWA AMONG THE STATES.

With $37,OOO,OO0 larger crop value
this year than last, Iowa is in posi-
ton to enjoy life.
She is unusually endowed. Fifteenth
among the states in population, she
has more banks than any other state.
Iowa is first in the value of farm
lands and buildings operated by the
owners, amounting to $735. 5,000)
and exceeding that of any other state
by 1921, 100000. Illinois is next with
$545, 100000.
Iowa has the largest crop acreage of
any state in the union, 20,374,925 acres,
with a value in crops In 1909 of $314,-
666,000, which is surpassed by only
one state, Illinois, the next nearest be-
ing Texas with s29S,133,OOO. -
Iowa is first in the value of domes-
tic animals sold, the amount being
$208,O0O.000 in 1909, the next nearest

Iowa apples are unexcelled in quail
ity and flavor. The soil and the eli
mate of Iowa are adapted to growing
an apple of splendid quality and fla
vor. During the past few years Iowa
apples have been unusually free from
any blemishes due to insects. Some
parts of the west raise beautiful ap-
pies, but they lack the flavor of those
grown on the soils of the middle west
region.

Shirley played that night. the old Rus
sian proverb kept running through
her mind. When she had pushed the
gold harp into its corner she threw
herself upon broad sofa In
feathery drift Of chintz cushions and
dropped her forehead In her laced
fingers. A gilt-framed mirror hung
on the opposite wall, out of which her
sorrowful brooding eyes looked with
an expression Of dumb and weary SUI.

Her confused thoughts raced hither

Would Valiant forget after a time!
Would he marry--Miss Fargo, per-

OF anguish. Yet she herself could not
marry him. The barrier was i'm

She was still lying listlessly among
the cushions when a step sounded on
the porch and she heard Chilly Lusk's
voice In the hall. With heavy hands
Shirley put into place her disheveled
hair and rose to meet him.

She disclaimed the weariness that
dragged upon her spirits like leaden

her usual cordially. She was, in fact
relieved at his coming. At Damory
Court, the night of the ball, when she
had come from the garden with her
lips thrilling from Valiant's kiss, shs

Washintgon.-Rioting and pillaging
broke out in Cape Haitien to such an
extent that Commander Bostwick OF
the gunboat Nashville landed eighty
men to protect lives and property of
foreign residents.
Commander Bostwick took action at
the request Of foreign consuls. In

to protect Americans, all foreigners

PERUVIAN REBELS REVOLT

Revolution in the Republic
of Peru.

Lima, Peru-The president of the
republic of Peru, Guillermo Billing
hurst, was taken prisoner by the mil
itary revolutionists.
! President Billinghurst was later
taken by the rebels as prisoner to
Callac, from which port he will be sent
into exile in foreign country.
The rebels suddenly attacked the
presidential palace under the leader
ship of Colonel Benavides. Gen. En-
rique Varela, premier and minister of
war, was killed In the fight which en-.
sued.
DR.. Augusta Durand, a former revo-
lutionary leader whose arrest was
sought by the police, took possession
OF the palace. 1t is generally believed
that he will at once organize a new
government.
The attack on the palace began at
4:3O a. m. Thousands of inhabitants
of Lima dashed into the streets alarm.
ed by the firing.
Squads of soldiers were ordered to
fire Volleys into the air in order to
prevent the formation of crowds in the
streets and by this method they kept
the panic-stricken people moving from
place to place. In the vicinity of San
Pedro church, civilian bystander was
killed by bullet.
Peru's sudden revolutionary trouble
is due principally to President Billing

this country on a sound basis. His
plans for doing this involved the most
strict economies, which proved unpop-
ular, particularly among officeholders

Guaranteeing Deposits

Tampa Tribune: When the First
National Bank of Pensacola closed,
the city of Pensacola had $4,000 on
deposit in that institution. But the
CITY did not lose It's money. 1t was
not deprived OF its use for any length
OF time, The city's deposit was guar
anteed by a guaranty company,
which has already paid to the city
the $4,000 which it mad to its credit
in the failed bank.
For this guarantee the company
had received premium of one-half
of one per cent, which was paid by
the bank.
The incident gives the Pensacola
Journal opportunity for interesting
comment on the question of the gov
eminent guaranteeing deposits in
banks. The Journal correctly says:
If a surety company can make
these guarantees, and profit by the
| business, at cost of IL of one per
cent per annum, why should not the
government itself guarantee depos-
ITS for all depositors, little as well
as big, and require all banks to pay
the premium to cover all of the de-
posits just as this bank. paid the pre-
MUM to cover this one deposit?
The guaranteed deposit is nothing
more nor less than an Ensured" de-
post, of the same character of pro-
lection as is your house insurance or
your life insurance. When your
house burns, you get the amount for
which it was insured. When you die,
your heirs get the amount for which
your life was insured. Why isn't it
equally reasonable to have "bank de-.
post Insurance." so that should your
bank fail you would be paid the
amount of your deposit?
The present session of Congress
can do no more important work than
to put a bank deposit guaranty sys-
EN- into effect. 1t will come in q
short time anyway. Why not have
it at once?

The good women of Palatka who
entered protest against the public
hanging of the negro Williams in the
jail yard last week, while slow of ac-
ton, were justified in their course
of bringing to the attention of the
people the brutalizing effects of such
sight upon the hundreds who COM
posed the crowd Of spectators. There
were nearly if not quite two thousand
people present at the execution and
many in the crowd were little children.
The News hopes for the day, and that
speedily, when all executions of Grim
mails shall be held in private at the
State penitentiary. Had tie ladies
made their protest earlier there is no
doubt but that Sheriff Kennerly would
have been willing, in so far as he
could, to have complied with their
request.

Lead me, o Lord, in Thy right
eousness, because of mine enc
mics; make Thy way straight be-
fore my ce."-Psalm SIS.
In these little sermons we have
| been thinking of Gods keepngs.
But life is not merely a matter of
marking time. 1t is q matter of
marching. 1t is not an affair of
guardings, only, but dynamic; and
Its energy needs directing, guild
ing, leading. And there is no
thoughtful worker, no sensitive
soul, no careful appraiser of life's
values and perils, but will, at least
occasionally, cry out with the
Psalmist in the language of our
text of today.
We need the divine leading be-
cause our very energy may fly the
track and run to wrong unless led
Our very good may run to evil,
as when the disciples would cali
down fire from heaven on those
VINO were not of their way. We
need the leading because errant
mind may go astray in its process
es OF thinking and willing. We
need the leading because the enc
mics of God and of our souls NAV
strive to turn US aside. The Psalm
lst sensed this danger; and hence
his cry.
Well, now, heaven knows this
need and hears this call OF eartn
Ard by promises and the recall
lngs of the experiences of Gods
people in multitudinous cases .heav
en- answers the call. God assures
men of His leading. And as we
have been thinking of Gods keen
ingS, so will we think of His lead
lngs. And our prayer-song shall
the while rise in Nswman's IA
miliar words.
Lead, Kindly Light! amid the
encircling gloom
Lead Thou me on;
Inc night is dark, and | am far
from home,
Lead Thou me or;
Keep Thou my feet: | do not
ask to see
The distant scene; one step
enough for me-" |

Charge Should be Investigated

Pensacola Journal: Dixie, the
weekly paper edited by Claude l..
Engle, publishes a startling charge tc
che effect that P. A. Holt, the we'll.
known politician of Jacksonville, is
urging the negroes of that place to
register immediately" the presump-
ton being that they are to be quail
he'd to vote in the coming primary
election.
In substantiation of the charge
Dixie publishes the fac similo el a
letter purporting to have been writ
ten by Holt to three negro saloon
keepers, in which they were urged to
see that every man connected with
your establishment is registered at
once"
If Holt or any other white man in
Florida, is guilty of this charge, hi.
deserves to be repudiated by every
decent white Democrat in the state
and he should himself forfeit all
right to participate in a Democratic
primary or to associate with decent
men.
Holt is the man who handled the
liquor money and managed the liquor
campaign in Florida four years ago.
He is the man who managed Senator
Fletcher's campaign six years ago.
He is the man who handled that part
of Thomas F. Ryan's $4,000 which
was spent in the Underwood cam
paign in Florida two years ago for
the defeat of Gov. Wilson. The sue
cess of his efforts in these cases all
indicate that he is dangerous man
for an opponent to deal with.
If Holt now is engaged in loading
the registration books with negro vo-
ters, it behooves the decent white men
of Florida to get busy.
No negro of course will be permit
ted to vote in the Democratic primary
but precaution should be taken in
time to see that no attempt even is
made to do so.
