The MEADOW LARK.

The first robin and the early blue jay
are welcome signs of spring but the
sweetest harbinger of the annual
resurrection is the meadow lark.
Perched upon a fence post. the top
most twig of tree or the arm of a
telephone pole he sounds his call, the
herald of spring. He comes a little
later than the blue bird or the robin
but he makes few mistakes. When
he signals the grass believes him and
begins to awaken. The early flowers
heed his voice. He is the music to
which rises the curtain upon the play
Of spring.
1t is sweet, clear call, it speaks of
nests among the leaves and boughs. of
ing buds and the promise Of fruit and
harvests. 1t marshals innumerable
armies from their winter quarters. 1t
is the bugle call of a new life, new
lives and renewed hope. 1t is the
easter call of nature.
No other northern bird song ap-
proaches that of the meadow lark ex-
cept that of the brown thrush. He,
from his perch on the high spots, the
thrush from her covert in the hedge,
sing the high opera Of the spring, they
are the premiers of bird song. But the
meadow lark brings the spring with
him, and for that we love him more.

SCHOOL HOUSES AND PICTURE SHOWS.

There is growing demand now for
the use of public school buildings as
social centers. In ten years this use
will be general all over the country.

school building every evening for the

Springs ache.

Sprinsache.
Some have headache, some have things
In their bones and blood and veins;
Some have heartache, guess it stings;
Some have witches, twists and
pains!
I've got springache! Let it come,
Never hur., and don't care;
Sets my old heart going some,
Makes me get out in the air!
Springache! Beats the dickens, men,
How it gets you way down deep
Where the old joys burn again
And the CID dreams wake from
sleep:
Boils and bubbles in you so,
Stirs and hobs and makes you cry
Lord. how much want to go
Out there meath the country sky!
Toothache once it seemed to me
Never would stop and let me rest;
Springache's got it up a tree
Springache's toothache in the breast.
Golly, how It grips and grows,
Feverin' all your soul with joy
S.pringache's when you shed your

And go off whistlin' like boy.

UNCLE SAM 4 THRIFTY BORROWER.

Uncle Sam now has the best credit
at the banks Of the world Of any and
all customers who borrow money, ex-
cepting none. He can sell his note to-
day at 2.S9 per cent interest while
John Bull must pay 1888 per cent and
even France, which is supposed to be
80 thrifty and sound financially, has
to do business on the bond market at
3.52 per cent interest. Then comes
Italy at 1913 per cent, Norway at 3.92
per cent and Germany at 1893 per cent
The other nations Of the earth have
ratings in the international credit
guide which run their rates Of interest
up from Russta's 4.07 per cent to Mex
ico's 6.25 per cent and Greece's 81 per
cent which simply means that Greece
has strained her credit by spreading
much indebtedness in proportion to her
ability to pay. The partners are quar-
reling In Mexico and a receiver may
be necessary.
Your Uncle Samuel, however, has
the stuff. He owns the best farm land
in the world, if not the most, and it
measures up strong per capita. In the
Industrial arts he measures strong In
his productive capacity and he has
been conservative in the matter Of go
ing into debt. Today he can borrow
money cheaper than anybody else he
most able to pay. but Uncle Sam also
has the advantage Of q strangle hold
on the market which loans him money
and he thereby skins the rate down be-
low his just desserts by providing that
his own promissory notes shall be the
basis OF bank note currency. The ef
feet Of this has been to cause the
national banks Of the country to buy
about so per cent of all the United
States bonds and their necessities have
given to these bonds a demand which
causes them to go at lower rates Of in
terest than they would otherwise sell.
In time under the new reserve asso-
citation law these bonds will be re-
leased by the banks and Uncle Sam
will cease TO compel the public to loan
money to him below market rates of
interest as the price Of business exist
ence for the national banks.

FISH STORIES.

The Sioux City Journal reprints from
its files Of twenty-five years ago a
story of a wagon load Of pickerel that
found ready market on the streets.
These fish were caught In Skunk lake,
near Sioux Falls, D. T., and weighed
from ten to eighteen pounds each. The
vender said that himself and his part
ner had taken 1900 pounds OF fish from
lines thru the ice.
1t will Sound like lies" to those who
came to earth and to Iowa after the
pickerel had preceded the prairie
chicken to that bourne from whence no
pickerel returns, but it isn't. A wagon
load Of pickerel was a small matter in
Dakota Territory" and northwestern
Iowa twenty Ave years ago. A carload
Of pickerel would have been easier to
get then than a car Of apples in north
ern Iowa thirty years ago. The Iowa
river was simply crowded with them.
About this time in the spring every
little branch was full Of the FISH on
their spring migration toward head
waters anxious to leave their spawn.
Every slough that connected with the
river or lakes and which afforded
water enough to float a pickerel held
it's quota of big and little fish. In many
places a Wavy line thru the slough
grass in shallow water marked the
passage Of frightened fish that might
weigh anywhere from one pound to
twenty according to the depth OF the
water and the draft of the fish. Pick
erel were as plenty as red-winged
blackbirds. 1t was no trick to step
down to the little branch in the spring
and shoot or net or snare with a wire
loop as many pickerel as the needs Of
the family or the ardor Of the fisher
man called for.
Near bows on the Iowa a great
spring burst out at the rivers edge and
kept an open place in the ice thru the
winter in the coolest weather. The
fish sought it seeking air, especially
when the ice grew thick and air holes
few and far between. Those behind
crowded those in front out upon the
ice and wagon load after wagon load

from the Long spring. A hole cut In

The Waterloo Times Tribune (dem-

Mexico Is d land Of landlords and

rich because Of government favor and

farmer. The government has stepped
in and projected the big land owner
every time his interests were In
jeopardy. He made his money by the
sw eat Of the peons-almost slaves were

with the consent and help OF the gov
eminent And now, when fellow like
Villa comes along and demands money,
using any method he can to get 1t, Is
