criticising other institutions Of similar
character it may be said that the home.

THOSE s,lLY LITTLE GIRLS.

She stood on the street at noon.
School was out for dinner time and
she had come to the most prominent
corner of the town on her way home.
The crowd was hurrying past to
lunches. Everyone was on the street.
She was mighty pretty Eirl, spoiled
by overdressing in extreme style. She
stood there talking to three boys, hold
ing a sort of court, simpering. chew
ing gum like mad and talking silly In
antics in a voice that carried across
the street. People glanced at the
group as they passed. Some made re-
marks Some Of the remarks would
have made her cheeks burn If she had
understood their nature and should
have set her mothers ears tingling.
Some looked and were sorry that the
silly little girl hadn't gone on home
to her lunch. A specimen of the under
world came by and his steady stare at
the silly little girl should have earned
him a knock out. And there she stood
duQ SdCDiSQ ana SliIAl hcO sA-AH 'A'SN
sly glances out of the corner of her
eye to see whether or not the passers-
by were noting her imagined popu-
larity. 1t would have been funny If 1t
hadn't been dangerous.
Ever notice the quietly dressed little
girl is never one of those whose silly
performances on the street attract at
tention? There's reason It goes
back to home and mother. The mother
who dresses her girl in extreme modes
thinks only of social ;riurn phs and OF
her ability to buy the latest and most
expensive for school wear or worse yet,
who Is unable to buy but does it any
way, Is bidding for silly actions on the
part of her daughter and the remark
that pass as the men go to lunch. Those
things are as plain evidence OF slack
parental discipline and of Stiffness in
the home as they are on the street
corner
But it is really too bad She is
pretty girl, she actually is we'll
meaning girl, so far there's nothing bad
about her. She's just a bright, pretty
little silly child who deserves better
mother.

HINT TO OTHER TOWNS.

Clinton is gaining much ccmmenda-
lately established Fairgrounds. Little
Ida Grove is building big public
swimming pool by division of its cost
between the city and private subscrib-
ers to fund for that purpose. Both
these cities differing widely in popu-
lation seem to be In the same class.
There is no difference in good public
spirit whatever difference may exist in
population records.
Aside from the benefits directly Sc
cured to the residents of cities that
step on out in front in public improve
ment and progressive acceptance Of
opportunity the prominence it gives
them among other cities and towns is
sufficient reward. Ida Grove is an
instance in point. When that commun-
ity desires a chautauqua it simply goes
and buys ii. runs it, takes the profit or
the loss quietly and is content. When
1t requires a lyceum course the people
just go about selecting the talent they
desire and close the contracts here and
there, getting what they want and pay
ing for it. When football struck Ida
Grove a few years ago that town put
its team in the front rank of high
schools in the state. The men hired a

team and put forward an aggregation
of home players fit to play any high
school of any city in Iowa for the
championship Of the state. When a
swimming pool seems good thing
they make it, fill it with water and &c
swimming. And SO over the state Ida
Grove is eminent among the towns that
! do things, much more eminent than
some larger cities that fail to match uI
as a good town to live in for folks

That is what it is coming to. A good

are seeking for themselves and their

tendency to run to the larger city is

ARE CURIONS OLD BRICKS.
fRurtfnptoo Rawi<eve


Mr.. w. F. Gilbert, of Burlington, has
been taking some fine old brick out of
the building on the north side of JEFF
ferson near Front street which was
acquired by the Rock Island route
some time ago. The brick are remark
ably well made and well preserved.
One bears the date 1889. another that
OF July, 1913 One brick haG the name
Philip" scratched into the surface,
whole another bore the name Hunter
in an excellent script Mr.. Gilbert
surnlises that Hunter" may have been
bricklayer, but the brick looks as II
the writing or carving had been made
before the brick was burned.
Mr.. Gilbert is taking things easy IN
removing that old building these hot
days. and for that reason little work
has been done of late He finds that
the brick which he is removing from
the walls which he is d!s,nantling are
quite salable, altho he gets hardly as
much as for the second best brick Of
today. They made good brick during
those early times, but they lacked the
facilities of the modern tines. and
while they were we'll burned they did
not have the smoothness ana regular
ity of the present day brick.
1t Is the custom. nowadays. to i'm
press the name OF the firm or company
making the brick. SO that one is often
confronted with that name as he walks
over some pavements. In former times
few people thought OF such a thing.
but individual workmen would some
times inscribe their name and the year
in the brick either before it was burned
or as they were laying 1t. In the lat
ter case, however. the name had to be
scratched in with the trowei.

Plenty to Go Around.

In this country the great increase IN
population is in the cities; while the
food-producing class is increasing
comparatively slowly. The reports on
agricultural products exported from the
United States illuminate the food prob
lem in an instructive way. II we COM
pare the exports IN 1912 with those -
1900, we find that the amount OF cheese
shipped abroad declined So per cent In
that period, beef products declined SO
per cent pork products declined 80 per
cent corn declined 80 per cent, wheat
declined 81 per cent. VIVA. do these
figures tell? Simply that We have
needed the food at home to supply our
increasing millions and hence had less
to sell in the markets OF the world.
Can we continue to feed our people by
reducing the exports in food stuffs?
obviously not, and in many instances
they have been reduced already near
the vanishing point. We have even ac-
tually begun to import mea. and corn.
It is significant also that free govern
ment land suitable for agricultural
purposes is no longer available: hence
we can not look for relief by bringing
under the plow large tracts Of virgin
soil.
Is there likely, then, 20 be scarcity
OF food in this country in the near fu~
ture? No, there is and will be plenty
Of food, but some changes In dietaries
undoubtedly will have to be made. Let
us notice In 1910 for every man,
woman and child in the United States
there was produced seven bushels OF
wheat, thirty-two bushels Of corn, four
bushels of potatoes. and forty pounds
OF sugar. There were six-tenths cat
tie for each person. six-tenths sheep,
and seven tenths swine. Add to this
the fruits, vegetables. poultry and
dairy products, oats, and other small
grains and we see that there is plen-
ty Of food to go around and to spare

The result was that the passengef

given away by conductors in one day.
In one week $4,000 have been passed
out by the genial conductors and 1861
900 in one month. At this rate In one
year the conductors give away 100000

Figuring an average of 500 matches
in one box, the conductors in the en-

THE MAN IN THE CASE.

Another young woman. the victim
of mans perfidy, is under arrest
here on charge Of infanticide. She
has confessed TO numbering her IL
legitimate child She will be tried
at the next term of the district
court and insanity will undoubtedly
be the defense. AS to the outcome
of the trial we are not prepared to
venture an opinion. Neither shall we
condemn or plead for the girl. Blu:
there is another angle to these in
fanticide cases which, unfortunate
", society has many to deal with.
What about tire man in the case?
In the past few years four young
women have been arrested in Du-
buque county on charges of infanti-
eide. Each was charged with slay-
ing her illegitimate babe. One was
convicted the others were freed,
largely thru sympathy. when 1t was
shown the accused was the victim OF
mans perfidy.
Was anything ever done to the man
in the case? Was any effort ever mao.
TO bring him TO justice and make him
shoulder his share Of the responsibility
for the crime? Unfortunately, no. The
creatures who were the indirect, the
prime, cause Of the murders were not
even hailed into court.
The girl who is now confined in the
matron's quarters awaiting trial FOL
murder must face justice. No matte;
what the outcome of the trial shall be
her life is wrecked while the odds are
the man who is just as guilty as she
from a moral standpoint, will never
even be arrested. 1t is rotten condi-
ton of affairs. 70 say the least.

A NEW ARENA FOR GoTcH.

tSioux City Journal.I
Now comes the information that
Frank Gotch, Of Humboldt, world
champion wrestler has consented to
become candidate for the republican
nomination for governor OF Iowa in
1916.
The story is maliciously embellished
with the pun, "Gotch would make
strong candidate. On the point OF
strength there is little desire to COM
done the pun And the slogan "Gotch
for Governor" would be given an ear
hold, If only for it's alliteratiye effect.
But the reader of newspaper headlines
will find an even greater reason FOR
marking a cross in the square in front
of the name of Gotch.
Since time immemorial, II one is
to believe the headlines, governors OF
Iowa, and for that matter Of other
states, have been "hurling" defiance,
tossing" bouquets, fighting the
legislatures, "strangling" bad bills'
"throttling' opposition to administra-
ton measures, kicking" opponents out
Of power, crushing" jokers by veto. OF
giving half nelson's" to padded bills.
Pray, who, in all the list Of 1owa's
most illustrious sons, would be more
capable along these lines than the
same Mr.. Gotch. of Humboldt?
Strangling, crushing. hurting and
throttling have been his side lines
since those infant days Farmer Burns
tells about, when only the countryside
about Humboldt felt and knew the
power Of his great arms.
Readers Of the headlines might ever
be willing to give Mr.. Gotch . role "a
governor, II only in the hope or teach
