And she ran up the stairs as the
masculine half of the cruising party
arrived to order their host to put

an impression that his party was not
quite a success-and wondered if Mrs.
Oliver need play at sprained ankle

The question was settled by a SUD :

Oliver descended the step in a prone

Packy.
And with an arm about Packy's

the wnyMEss OF ITS MISERY

Last weeks GlObe-GaZette was
greatly troubled in its inwards
over what it alleges is split in
the Democratic party in Con-
gress on the tolls bill. But the
real cause of the GIGS agony
was caused by the sight of its
patron saint, Senator McCum-
Der, with his coat off and fight
ing valiantly for a measure adj
vocated by Democratic presi-
dent and opposed by majority
of the Senator's own party.
Senator McCumber is entitled
to all honor for his action in
putting honesty above party in
this instance. and doing the right
thing if he does have to array
himself agsinat majority of his
party to do so. Will the G.-G.
now have the courage to follow
it's leader, as it has heretofore
done, when he now does what is
right and honest, regardless of
party popularity We shall see.

THE BUCKET SHOP
The Difference Between a Faro Bank
and National Bank.


National Crop Improvement Service.1
Most people get their misinforma
ton about the grain business through
their experiences in bucket shop
There is a smaller number of bucket
shops every year. although in some
states there are still a few. They
have no connection with any estab.
lished grain exchange. The New
York Press says:
1.-THE bucket-shop keeper likes to
c1en his Office when the market IA
high and when the public thinks II
is going higher. The hucket-shop.
ping public IS always h"l.isb. 1t goes
in on three-point margins and the
oucket-shop relies on the furries to
shake the customer out. Sometimes
the furries do not happen and the
market scars beyond the limits of
the bucketer's bank roll. His course
is easy. He just busts. In one town
in this state the same bucket-shop
man went broke five times In seven
years, SHINING his customers each
time; but every time he reopened
they all went back to him. That is
the beauty of the bucket-ship game;
It attracts the mildest-mannered
school of suckers in all the gambling
ocean"

HOW TO SCORE TESTS
Muscatine Introduces a Point System
In Awarding Prizes to Schools
Which Help in County
Seed Survey.
National Crop Improvement Service. ]

National Crop improvement Service.1
K. A. Kirkpatrick, county agent for
Muscatine county. Iowa, working in
connection with the Muscatine News.
Tribune, is planning complete sur.
sey Of the seed condition of the
county. Tests will be made in all Of
the schools of the seeds to be planted
this spring. and the prizes will be
awarded according to the number of
points Won by each school, Addition.
al points may be won by the school by
testing whole bushel of corn by
each pupil, one hundred points to the
tushel. If the pupil tests each ear
to be sowed on the farm, in addition
to his one hundred points for the
tushel, he will earn another one hun.
dred etxra points for complete test.
Not less than five bushels are to be
tested for the extra one hundred
points. In testing small grain five
one hundred kernel tests taken from
different places in the bin or the en-.
tire lot are to be used in the test,
not less than five bushels in the lot,
will add one hundred points to the
Individual score. Z
The teacher, or some pupil desig.
mated by the teacher, shall keep re.
cord in each school and make the
reports on the proper banks to the
County Crop Improvement Association
Office in the court house at Muscatlne.
The Government furnishes ranked
envelopes for sending in these reports.
The testing work may be done at the
homes of the pupils, but they must
count the tests, figure the percentage
OF termination, and report the tests
the same as though done at school.
The county superintendent will com.
mend the professional spirit of any
teacher who takes up this work in her
school and shows that she earnestly
tries to get results.
The prizes will be awarded at the
graduating exercises in June. The
prizes have not yet been announced.
but 1t is suggested that the women's
clubs of the county not only select
them. but provide for them in some
way as part of their club work. Good
pictures Of historical or classical sub.
5ects are always appropriate for
school prizes. suitably inscribed with
the name Of the class which wins
them.
