MEXICAN LAND.

Land il being offered at 80 cents an
acre in some sections of Mexico and
people in this country are being urged
to take advantage Of these war
prices" But they are not war prices.
They are prices that have prevailed
for years and will prevail for years
to come. The land is absolutely worth
less except for rattlesnakes, centipedes.
tarantulas, Greasers. etc. It Is nothing
but rocks and sand. OF course there
is much good land in Mexico, as good
as the best. but that is not the kim.
that is being offered at 80 cents an
acre. It is to be hoped that no Iowa
people will bite at the war price" bait.
The Freeman Tribune knows what II
is talking about. The writer was in
San Antonio, Tex. few years ago.
and was told of land in Mexico being
offered at 20 and Is cents an acre. It
is not worth the cost Of deed and alb

or the bottom Of the Atlantic ocean

ids Republican.
Al the Sioux City Journal puts It,
the legislature never intended that
the board Of education should assume
the prerogatives Of the executive heads
OF the several institutions.
'"The opinion is quite prevalent"
says the Council Bluffs Nonpareil.
that the Iowa board Of education has
frittered away a great opportunity to
render the state and the cause Of edu-
cation q splendid service. And this Is
due to the fact that the board was
given q political head In the beginning.
1t is always a mistake to put a politi-
clan in q place which should be filled
by really big man."

tho matter" q
The truth, as we have always view
ed 1t. 10 that the selection of Mr.. Bow
man for the presidency Of the state un-
iversity was one of q number Of very
grave blunders that have characterized
the manageent OF college questions in
this state by the board Of education -
says the Nevada Representative. I'm
neither his ability, his age. his exper-
fence nor his general facility in meet
ing and impressing people was there
ever in our Judgment any excuse for
regarding Mr.. Bowman as a suitable
man for the place to which he was
chosen"
about the first thing that the state
Of Iowa needs to do with the educa-
tional board Is to eliminate politics and
few politicians. Trewin among the
number" says the Hardin County Citi-
zen THE theory OF the educational
board is all right, and it might have
worked out all right II the members
of the board hsd been chosen on edu-
cationai instead OF political grounds.
It was Governor Carroll who gave the
state this motley array of political
light to rule over institutions about
which they knew little or nothing"
The Jefferson Bee says: THE resig-
nation of President John G. Bowman
Of the State University Of Iowa last
week, is a striking exemplif1cation OF
the fact that a man never looks SO
small as when he is put into a Job that
Is too big for him. Bowman Is fine
young fellow Of broad education. but
he had neither the years nor the quail
ties necessary to make successful
president OF a great university. Both
he and the university have suffered az
the result Of the unwise choice made
by the state board Of education three
years ago."

SILK and wool Shetland wells do much
to protect tho face in an open car.
The heavy white nngora caps that Gov
er the ears and forehead and neck
also keep out the cold in an astonish-
ing manner and some such headdress
ought to be worn by any woman who
is motoring In an open car In the
country. The nngora mufflers that
measure about yard and half long
arc also friends OF the cold motorist.
They arc heavy and warm, and yet
they are pllablo and soft.
A sweater ought to DO worn under
any but fur coat for motoring In the
winter. The wind has il surprising
way of bowling UP the sleeves. Tho
new silk sweaters, although thin, are
warm. A cloth motor coat can be
made with wide fur cuffs, under which
the hands arc clnsped so that the two
cuffs join and form muff. A velvet
or plush motoring hat can be kept on
securely without pins or veil If roll
OF velvet Is fastened all around the
hat lust inside the crown. This twist
ed velvet fairly grips tho hair and
skin and holds tho hat firmly in place.
Nothing makes warmer cover for
tho knees than n heavy steamer rug
one wrapped securely about each per-
son. But there are many covers that
arc much better looking than steam
err rugs. Some, OF heavy plush in at
| tractivo colors. are matched by cush-
ions to place behind the back or under
the feet. Metal clips. engraved with
an initial. arc sold to keep the sur
plus auto robes fastened on the bar
where they belong.
