A Birthday Of Bigness.
Terse Comments for Feb. 1-"Chris-
tian EndeavOr Progress" Mark
4:26-32
(BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS

This topic marks the thirty-third
birthday of the Christian Endeavor
society. 1t looks back upon a gener-
alton Of time which has seen at least
ten million young people pass through
the portals Of this organization of
young people in the churches. The
simple fact of the magnitude Of the
movement is worth musing upon. It
has fulfilled the first condition Of great
influence. by being in contact with a
large number of Individual ives The
direct touch of Christian Endeavor
has been felt by millions Of boys and
girls. young men and young women.
Another secret of the potency of this
huge movement has been the wide
spread distribution of its members
The Christian Endeavor flag flies on
all continents. Almost every tongue
spoken today by mankind is heard in
solemn utterance Of the Christian En-
deavor pledge. Wherever Christian
missions have gone, this form of
church work has been carried. Thus,
as we contemplate the immensity of
the organization whose birthday Is
now commemorated, we understand
that in this simple fact Of bigness lies
power for good.
The one essential evidence of the
progress Of Christian Endeavor is
found in the character and usefulness
OF lnOIVlQual EnQe8VOrer9
OF the really surprising aspects of
the present Christian Endeavor con-

that the churches and denominations
do not make greater use Of this

veloping young people in Christian
character and activity. There In no
department Of church affairs more de-

INGOT IRON RANGES.
More Resistant to Rust Than Steel
or Any Other Iron.

n. r. Croft & Son have a large
stove advertisement in this issue
which should be carefully read by
every prospective purchaser of a
new range or heater. Ingot Iron
is more resistant to rust than steel
or any other iron, and will conse-
ouently last life time.
One of the triumphs of the mod
ern world is the understanding of
the rust problem. Twenty years ago
nobody knew anything definite of
the real nature of rust or corrosion;
but today, as a result of the work of
a number of practical scientists both
in America and in Europe, this mys-
terry has been solved and we know
the causes of rapid corrosion and
have at hand the means of prevent
ing it.
Rusting takes place because of the
differences between various por-
tons of an iron or steel sheet, as
these set up an action, when it is
exposed to moisture, which eats
away the metal These differences
may be those of the substance itself,

AS TO EXTRAVAGANCE.

Under date of Oct. the Hamil-
ton7forgovernor publicity bureau
announces that Mr. Hamilton said
today Il stand for better country
roads, more interurbans, better
schools, better conditions for work
ers in factory and mine, less extrav-
agance and lower taxes"
Now the voters will be pleased to
know that Mr.. Hamilton stands for
better country roads, but how
would he as governor propose to
build them without taxation? They
will also rejoice to know that Mr..
Hamilton believes in better schools,
but how would he improve them
without better pay for teachers and
better buildings in which to teach?
The wage workers, too, viii be glad
to know that he stands for improy-
2 ed conditions for them in factory
and mine, but they can't adjust
that with the democratic charge
that inspectors on state salaries are
supernumeraries productive of ex-
travagance. Even the interurbans,
which Mr.. Hamilton favors, general
ly cost tax aids beneficial as they
are admitted to be.
If Mr.. Hamilton can convince the
voters that less extravaganza and
lower taxes can go hand in hand
with better roads, better schools,
more interurbans and better factory
inspection he should then teach the
rest of us how We can eat our pie
and keep it too or how we can lift
ourselves by our boot straps.
To be real frank about this thing
Mr. Hamilton should admit that
the only kind of extravaganza in
state affairs which he has been able
to locate is the extension of capitol
grounds and the records will show
that the democrats in the legisla-
ture voted into the bill what Mr..
Hamilton thinks is the eXtravagant
part of it while the republicans
stood for the conservative extension
which Mr. Hamilton says he would
carry out if he were governor. There
is no issue in Iowa except the desire
of each party to elect it's own men
to Office. Iowa has been honestly
and economically governed and the
democrats have had fair division
of the responsibility for it; that is
prominent individual democrats but
not the party organization.

Sends For Citizenship Papers.

Clerk of Courts Meiners received
a letter not long since from Rev. II.
C. Velte, from British India, who
wants his citizenship papers badly
just now which were issued to him
here in Waukon in 1879. Clerk
Meiners found them recorded and
sent him the necessary credentials
At shat time he was young man
and resided in Ludlow. Henry Car
ter appeared as one Of his witnesses
in securing the naturalization pa
pers. Later he entered the ministry
and became a missionary and is now
in charge of a theological seminary
in British India. Being German il
is assumed that he has found it nee
essary to clear up his citizenship
in that English colony.-Waukon
