NATURES IRONIES.

The irony of fate has had few fin
err illustrations than that staged in
the western parts of this country
during the last seven months.
A drought, unrivaled for duration
and severity, held nearly a dozen
states in it's grip last summer, dry
ing up wells and streams, parching
pastures, running crops. AS re-
suit of this drought, hundreds of
thousands of breeding stock or I'M
finished steers were sent to market,
because there was no fodder to car
ry them through the winter.
Having struck her blow, nature
began to smile. She sent an open
season which enabled farmers to do
their blowing at a time when the
ground usually is locked in frost.
She followed this favor with series
snowfalls throughout the west, all
of them remarkable and one quite
unprecedented. Melting snow will
supply the moisture too often lack
ing, good crops are almost assured,
and not for generation has there
been such good range pasture as will
be found this summer. But the stock
which should fatten and multiply on
that pasture have gone to the stock
yards.-Chicago Journal.

THE NEW MEXICAN POLICY.

The presidents proclamation lift
ing the embargo upon arms destined
to Mexico and his explanation of it's
purpose were supplemented in the
dispatches from Washington by
statements gathered from those
familiar with the presidents atti-
tude." The proclamation and ex-
PLANTATION speak for themselves. The
embargo was imposed because the
government looked upon the c0nsti-
tutionalists as rebels against con-
stitutiOnal government. Under the
new proclamation all factions are
treated alike. Huerta is as much a
rebel as Carranza in the presidents
view.
This takes the constitutionalists
one step further toward their goal,
which, is the establishment of re-
cognized government. This does not
mean that the proclamation recOg-
nizes the constituencies as belli-
gerents, but it puts this nation near
er the point where such recognition
could be accorded. At the same
time the proclamation puts the con-
stitutionalists in better, situation
to win recognition. 1t is not diff
cult for them to get across the bor-
der with small arms, but smuggling
battery is another matter. Villa
can import siege guns now If he has
the money to buy them.
In the semiotficial discussion of
the proclamation it is declared that
no influence in Mexico City can be
counted upon to do anything more
than to perpetuate the selfish Oligar-
chy which now rules there. Doubt
less this represents the presidents
attitude. Efforts to hold a fair cleo
ton under Huerta, which the United
States greatly desired, were COM
plete failure Huerta has never been
recognized by the president. On the
contrary, he has been branded die
tator 1t is fair assumption, there
fore, that this government is now
turning, perhaps not hopefully, to
Carranza and Villa as representa-
tives of the faction which will ulti-
mately prevail and with which this
nation will deal officially.-St. Louis

TWO SIDES.

The republican party had control
of the state legislature. 1t is respon-
sible for the capitol extension act.
If you don't like the capitol extern
sion act you can vote against any
member of the state legislature who
supported it if he is again candi-
date.
The supreme court has said the act
was legal. The state has gone ahead
and bought some of the grounds and
will buy more. The responsibility
for this act as with all other acts
rests with the republican party which
has controlled the state since the
Civil war. 1t would be folly for the
democrats after the decision of the
supreme court to declare against
capitol extension though they might
condemn the wisdom of the act. Cap
itol extension has been accomplish
ed.
But the Des Moines democrats do
not want to get too gay in trying to
force q statement from McGinnis or
any other democratic candidate for
the nomination for governor. There
are tremendous political possibilities
in the capitol extension act. They
are monkeying with the gasoline can
trying to put the men on record. Our
advice to the Des Moines democrats
and the Des Moines papers is to stop
talking about the capitol extension
act. The man who hunts a fight can
nearly always be accommodated

PROVED BY SENATE.

The nomination of C. A. Niemeyer
of this city, as customs collector for
Iowa, has been confirmed by the SEN
ate and in few days Mr.. Niemeyer
will receive his commission and quail
ify for the office. When the news of
his nomination by President Wilson
reached Creston his many friends
here knew that it was only a few
days until the nomination would be
confirmed.
A better man for the place could
not be found as Mr.. Niemeyer is an
able man and is we'll able to do his
office justice. He is now making ar
rangements to move to Des Moines,
where he will have his headquarters.

A Lesson in Industry.

Everyone Is knitting. 1t is a fad that
has spread over the land from coast to
coast and from north to south. The deb
utante takes her knitting in a dainty
bag. that matches her frock. when she
goes to dances, and between her en-
gagements, she turns her attention to
knitted muller, wristlets. or socks. The
busy matron carries her knitting with
her in her limousine to put the minutes
The theater-goer carries her yarn and
needles in her opera bag and knits be-
tween the acts. The business woman and
the shop girl spare time from their lunch
con hour to add a few more stitches to
the work for the soldiers Of the Euro
pean conflict Poor girls, who are earn
ing the meagerest kind Of living. delight
in working after hours to relieve the
suffering Of the war victims, and women
Of great fortune and high position show
the same enthusiasm in this painstaking
occupation.
The cynic smiles. 1T is only a fad"
he says, and probably he is partly right
It is fad. and perhaps it is a fad that
is followed sometimes for effect, but It
is a fad that is being followed in a good
cause.
Incidentally this knitting fever is hav-
ing a second good effect. 1t is teaching
a lesson that in itself is well worth the
time and attention it has cost That is
the lesson Of industry. For the women
who have turned their attention to knit
ting have almost never done it in place
Of their regular occupation. They have
simply found. that their days contained
minutes, sometimes hours, that could be
turned to account. It is a lesson in in
dustry that will not soon be forgotten.

FAMOUS
WOMAN
Her
Birthday
And
Yours
November 16-Minnie Hauek, Annie
Loud.

November is must be a favorable birth
day for musicians. for Of the two most
prominent women who claim II. one IL a
singer and the other a composer. The
most celebrated OF these is Minnie Hsuck,
who was born sixty years ago today.
Although her childhood was spent in
New Orleans she was born in New York
State, her family moving South in her
early infancy. On her fathers planta-
ton. near the city of New Orleans, she
spent happy childhood. learning folk
songs from the negroes initiating the
calls OF wild birds. and getting Up anna
teur theatrical performances with the
other children. Surely she was cut out
TO be an opera singer. She was "discoy-
cred" by an amateur musician. Leonard
Jerome. of New York. who chanced to
hear the little girl singing sweetiy inside
her garden. He AZ once presented himself
to her father and offered to undertake
the expense OF her musical education.
Leonard Jerome was later able to point
with pride to his young protcGe. for she
stands today as one Of the three or four
most prominent singers OF the nineteenth
century.
After she had studied in this country
she went TO Germany. where she worked
up the parts OF Elsa in "LOhengrin" and
Santa In THE Flying Dutchman." under
the personal direction Of Richard WaE
ner hlmself. In AuStria, Germany, and
Russia she met with great success her
personal charm and tactfulness winning
almost as many friends And admirers as
her magnificent voice. She was particu-
larly popular in the court OF Germany.
where she was appointed court chamber
singer for life. an honor bestowed upon
only two other slngers-Patti and Pauline
LuCCa. In spite sf the success she made
In the two operas she studied under the
direction OF Richard Wagner. her two
greatest roles were those of Carmen and
Africaine-in which parts she has seldom.
IL ever. been equaled. Minnie Hauck was
one OF the most accomplished Of any con-
temporary opera singers. being able to
sing with equal ease and precision In
English. German, French. Italian. Span
ish, and Russian. and her repertoire in
Cluded 30 operas. In private life Minnie
HauCk took the name OF her husband. the
Baron Won Hesse-Wartagg. an Austrian
traveller and writer whom she married at
the age Of twenty-nine.
The other musician whose birthday falls
on November Is is Annie Loud. who was
born in New York State exactly three
years after Minnie Hauck. Miss Loud is
a composer of popular church music and
songs. Among her best-known publiCa-
tionS are There Is City Bright" and

Annles Wasted.

This year of all years seems to be one
where nothing should be wasted, yet last
Sunday We saw a bushel of apples blown
down by the wind, crushed under foot or
by automobiles. They were in the
streets which lead off East avenue, and
the owners of the property would no
doubt have been glad to rid their walks
of the fruit.
The Toronto Globe makes the sugges-
ton that apples otherwise likely to go
to waste might profitably be utilized in
making the preserve known as apple
butter" which has besides its popular
flavor, the advantage of not requiring
10 be Theoretically sealed. 1t will keep
for months without deterioration, and it
is not costly to manufacture. 1t can be
made in the farmhouses from apples that
have no market value at present, and in
this way at some profit to the maker, a
wholesome article of diet may be pro-
duced in large quantities to the mutual
advantage of both the apple growers and
the consumers
Apples not at present worth anything
will acquire value If pared, Qartered
and dried. 1t may not pay to send them
to an evaporator, but treated in the old
fashioned farmhouse way, the dried fruit
compares favorably with the artifcially
evaporated fruit. Strung on cord the
pieces may be left to dry in the air
and hung in the house loft till wanted
II they are protected by being in cheese
cloth or other close but light fabrics they
may be kept free from dust and fly
specks. In the Ontario Of old such a
thing as an apple being allowed to go to
waste was never heard OF, and it is
somewhat humiliating to have to admit
that the farmers of today are less in
genious or more indolent than were those
Of a past generation.

More JeWelrY Worn.

Much more jewelry has been worn
in the last few years by all classes
of women. Semi-precious stones, ar
tistically inset, are now used as day
time Jewels. There used to be only
two kinds OF jewelry in America-the
genuine and very expensive, out OF
the reach of all but the woman of
wealth, and the very cheap sort, that
no woman who was used to the right
thing would think of wearing, says
the Baltimore Evening Sun.
Now there has been imported and
made here on an-between sort. Some
of il is set as extensively as the real
stones, in platinum, which has re-
placed gold, but the larger diamonds,
rubies, emeralds. or sapphires are
synthetic stones; that is to say, stones
that have been manufactured to repre-
sent the real and made from the same
component chemical parts as the real
stones. They are set up in the same de-
signs as the real and have often been
mistaken for them by those who ought to
know better.
Besides this very expensive jewelry
there are the semi-precious stones, like
turquoise matrix, coral, jade, etc. These
have shapes and settings designed by
artists Of talent and they are worn by
those who know how to dress.

Uses for Kerosene.

Kerosene, like soda and salt, is Sc
cheap that its usefulness is often over
looked. Aside from its illuminating value
its use in the laundry is great. Two
tablespoonfuls added to a washbOiler of
water will cause the clothes to come out
absolutely white. The odor will all dis
sipate when the clothes are hung on the
lire.
Kerosene sprinkled where flies hatch
will tend to drive them away, and mos
quitoes positively refuse to remain
where it is. For the latter, wet a cloth
with the liquid, then hang it up; watch
the satisfactory re- ult.
Porcelain tubs. hssins and sinks are
quickly cleaned and polished by sprink-
line a little kerosene on the article. Rub
soap on a soft w't cloth. then wash the
soiled or greasy Pi""e: il is magical and
requires little labu'.
Kerosene, a small quantity, in a pail
of scrubwater, is most efficacious for
whitening all boards, stairs and table
tops.
