- fsw years ago the aJluyements
held out BY the Canadian Immigration
AGENTS attracted many OF our western
farmers. These allurements, OF course,
were based on misrepresentation. Dis
Satisfaction among Americans who
have sold their farms and gone into tho
dominion has accompanied many. For
many years this country drew popula-
tion from Canada In measure which
msde any important increase in the
population Of Canada impossible. Even
the emigration Of Americans in the
last decade was short lived, and IL Is
not probable that In the next ten years
our northern neighbor will be much the
gamer.
1T Is doubtless true that lands can
be purchased in Canada much cheaper
than in the United States. and the tre-
mendous increase in farm values has
undoubtedly caused many Of our farm
ers to sell out and move to Canada. but
SO soon as they have found that the
land values in their own country have
increased more rapidly than In Canada,
they have come back home.e-
ITO my mind, it is far more import
ant to consider the extraordinary sum
Of money that has been invested in
Canadian Industries. According to tho
figures there IL no less than $636,900,-
900 Of American money invested in the
Observation-Disclosures Post.

the players Of the present day are not

on to show it's so to mis- own satisfac-
ton and that of lot OF the old plav-
ers professional and amateur. They
aren't. All OF US who used to play ball
have noticed It.
Why, when the old Headl;shts use,
to play against the old Clippers thirty
years and more ago then you'd have
seen baseball. There are men alive
today who will gladly relate somewhat
Of the gigantic struggles that then took
place and explain and point out the
difference between the baseball OF
limitations in vogue.
1t was baseball in those days. the
real thing. We played bare handed

and the hand below the knee, the ball
was half rubber and fast as a high
school boy with a new automobile. We
used to hit them a mile. And the field
ers Of those days used to run along
under the ball for ten minutes waiting
for 1t to fall low enough to catch.

and left things in the hands of Provi-

TERMS.
a THOUGHT woa1n xs1p,se.

One of the truths brought out
oftenest yesterday by the different
speakers who assisted in the dedica-
ton of the beautiful Congregational
church was that its foundations go
back into the years as they go into the
ground. The new church with its
beauty and modern facilities is merely
a elimination. 1t has all the effort and
struggle and sacrifice Of the years in
it.
1t is true. As this day IS the culmi-
nation of endeavor and hope and in
yention and work of all the other days
that have dawned SO the new churches,
the new Y. NJ. c. AS and all the i'm
provements have builded into them all
the bricks made without straw thru
the labors of vanished hands.
1t is thought worth keeping For
it means that today goes on infinitely
and the work Of today endures forever.
There is nothing so eternal IS human
endeavor. Brick by brick we build.
One upon another, generation after
generation. and the cap stone crowns
the finished task long after we per-
haps have become dust.
A granite gravestone is a perishable
thing; but a good deed endures eter-
nally. 1t is the only way to make
humanity immortal here. Nobody lives
on in this earth except in what he has
done that deserves to continue. 1t is
the best bid for Immortality
Something of this must have come
to the aged minister who has spent
his strength and given his life to the
building and manning of Congrega-
tional churches in Iowa and elsewhere.
AS he stands at the end CT the long
day he surely recalls the little band
who came into Iowa a lifetime ago
with Congregationalism and the great
er purpose of evangelism. They are
gone on but he remains to see the later
results OF their labors. And it must
De great satisfaction and sweetness
to him in his latest days to stand in
a splendid religious plant like that he
helped to dedicate yesterday and to
know that beyond him and his day lies
greater achievement for the Kingdom.
Churches, business. public welfare.
all that men work and strive to secure
have their foundations invisible. The
thought is great one that the cap
stone of the finished church is merely
a block in the foundation of a greater
and wider usefulness and of new build
ings and the higher hopes of mankind.
And it is true of all we do in the in
terests Of men whether it be churches
or Y. N. c. AS or politics or national
or municipal development that in
cludes humanity without classification.
Keep it. Work to il. Remember
that as today is the elimination of
yesterday so is 1t the foundation of to-
morrow.

oftener we took UP collection to pay
their expenses" But we played ball.
Some idea Of tho difference may be
gained by the difference In the scores
then and now. Why, sometimes, in q
fierce game the score ran 50 to 40 in
favor of the Clippers.
Degeneracy started with the curve
ball. Someone discovered the round
house curve. Then everybody took to
throwing a wide out" Others i'm
proved on it. Some eTeminate catch
er wove a contraption of wires and
covered his timid face with it. Then
others covered up their stomachs with
pads and last Of all someone appeared
with a big mitt behind the bat. The
good old days were gone. The stride
Of tielders shortened and their endur-
ance melted. 1t was the difference be-
tween Ten Brock racing four mile
heats and the modern half mile dash.
Alas, for the good old days!
We shall never see again such base
ball as that Of that elder time when
the Palmer twins caught and pitched
for the Headlights, when Gene Moore.

der after running beneath line drive
for a quarter of a mile or less, when
Feezer frothed and Risely ran bases
and baseball was baseball, virile,

old days.
1t is hard to talk about it. But the
old players are willing to suffer for the
good of the game. Come and see any
of US. We will choke down our feel
ings and tell how 1t was done. give
some instances of personal achieve
ment and prowess and thus assist to

A TRUE TEST.
waterloo Courier.1

When a public executive takes a
stand on q certain question and then
finds he is wrong but refuses 20
change his position because no has al
ready committed himself or because
the change would be repudiating a
clause in his party platform, he Is a
politician. But when. at the expense
Of personal pride and the good VIII OF
his political brethren. he does confess
himself wrong and does step over to
the side Of the right, he is statesman.
AS concrete examples OF these two
types of public leaders we point TO
Champ Clark, the politician. and TO
Woodrow Wilson, the statesman.
II the president had done nothing
else and If he should do nothing
more to prove his devotion to his Of
fetal responsibility rather than to ms
political career he would have qualihed
himself for statesmanly distinction by
his disposition of the Panama tolls ls-
sue alone.

FRANKIE AND kELTZ CONFER.
TNaaco,


Inforn1atic/ is given out under a
Webster City date line and published
in the Dubuque Telegraph Herald that
a conference was recently held at Ma
son City at which James Uriah SAM
mis- was decided on as candidate for
United States senator to oppose SEN
ator, Cummins.
There is something significant about
this information coming as it does
thru Dubuque because it was in that
CITY that Senator Sammis received his
first great nervous shock that almost
caused complete heart failure. 1t was
at Dubuque that he was candidate
for railroad commissioner. 1t was at
Dubuque that his friends left the con-
yention hall to celebrate his nomina-
ton and while they were out enough
votes were changed to give the nomi-
nation to another man. Dubuque
should give Sammis the shakes.
The Mason City meeting at which
Mr.. Sammis was selected to compete
with Mr.. Cummins was determined
body. Il was presided over Jointly by
Carl FRANKIE and Bert Keltz. MIR.
FRANKIE moved that Cummins be OPP
posed and defeated. Mr.. Keltz second-
ed the motion. Carried. Mr.. Keltz
moved that the conference proceed 10
the selection OF a candidate to oppose
Cummins. Mr.. FRANKIE seconded the
motion. Carried. A ballot was order
ed. The result Of the first ballot was
FRANKIE one, Keltz one. No selection.
The balloting continued with the same
result until the 9s9th ballot had been
cast and counted. At this time the
conference decided to go into the com
nittee of the whole. Mr.. keitz tried
to convince Mr.. FRANKIE that he should
Withdraw because handsome man
was necessary to take up the contest
against Cum Minis. Mr.. FRANKIE declared
that he was Just az good looking as
Mr.. Keitz, in fact he knew OF people
who would say that he had kelts
