sales in many lines have been noted
and operators in the great agricultural
regions of the west and southwest are
displaying decidedly moro interest than
previously. Woreted mills are busy
and some manufacturers Of woolens are
actively engaged. with prices steady
because Of the hrmness in raw wool.
The latter remains very strong, as the
supply apparently is inadequate to meet
current requirements. On the whole,

DEeENeRAcY OF THE s. 8. PICNIC.

Another thing that has fallen away
from 1t earlier, high state Of perfec-
ton and degenerated into mere per-
functory Observance of a custom is the
Sunday school picnic Of the ancients
a Sunday school picnic nowadays
brings out bunch of children from
one church with their mothers and a
few fathers in Israel or such imita-
tons of the actual F. in 1. who ex-
listed along with the Sunday school
picnic In its prime. A modern Sunday
school picnic is no picnic at all COM
pared with those halcyon days when
the youthful Bible student won tesla

verses of scripture, and made his as

mic Nowadays we take a trolley car
and run out to the park. Then we put
hayracks on the lumber wagons and
loaded the racks with children. We
went afar to a secluded mill-pond in
the woods, or to some noted pasture"
where springs burst from the ground
and the ripping waters ran. We
carried flags and yelled and sang

TO STAY IN IOWA.

A young farmer who is just of age,
and wants to own land, asks us II
he had better stay in Iowa or 70 to
Canada. Now that is question we
can not answer. We do not know
the man; we do not know his ability;
we do not know the particular kind
OF farming that he likes best,
Evidently, II he has no capital, the
first thing to do is to earn some. II
he is really a skillful farmer, the best
thing to do Is to hire out to the best
farmer he can find, and not be 50 par
ticular about the wages he offers as
about being with a good farmer. II
he is really first class and has hired
out to first-class farmer, that man
will find 1t to his interest to keep
him, and will offer him higher wages
than he would care to ask for.
The next thing to do is to save
money. 1t takes good deal Of self
denial on the part of a young man to
save money. A great many men who
hire out simply aim to have a good
time; and the man would get start
must forego that. Not that he should
not have a good time; but boys ideas
as to what constitutes good time
vary widely The important thing now
for him Is to save money.
We believe there are better chances
Of saving money in Iowa than in Can
ada, II he hires out to stock farmer
who needs a man the year around. II
we were a boy looking for work. we
would try very hard to get work with
man who employs help the year
around. No one, can make money by
working six or eight months in the
year and playing or loafing the rest
Of the time.
In this way, in a couple Of years he
will get reputation as an industri-
GUS, energetic and thoroughly reliable
man. Then it VIII not be long before
someone will want to rent him a farm
on favorable terms. We would advise
him to do that, even If he has to Dor
row come money. The man who has
a good reputation can always borrow
money from people who know hin
and who have money to loan. HI

BETWEEN TWO STOOLS.

Peace in all Mexico is said to be the
demand and purpose of the president.
1t IS an excellent program and q most
aitruistjc purpose but how is It to be
accomplished? The ruling Of the me-
diation board will not affect Mexico
proper more than would close de-
cision on first base by an umpire in
the Central Association. Neither Car
rama nor Villa will submit or pay any
attention to the findings. Villa is on
his way to Mexico city and in all prob
ability to dictatorship of that coun-
try. Carranza scarcely seems to know
where he is at. So far as the settle
men of Mexican troubles by diplomacy
is concerned no such settlement is in
sight or seemingly possible. Presidents
may say peace, peace" but there is
no peace nor likely to be until strong
hand is laid upon Mexico from with
out.
When this mediation process has
been gone thru with and has failed ut
terly to effect settlement the stu
alton will be as it was before the
board was organized but with compli-
cations. Mexico will be ungoverned,
riotous, disorganized. a theater for the
activities of every bandit chief who
may be able to gather a mob about
him and call it an army and himself
a general and saviour OF his country.
What will Wilson do then? We are
in middle becoming more muddled
daily. Our statecraft is winning little
beyond smiles from foreign diplomats.
With Mexico as a country we are hav-
schemes to Dust an individual from a
presidency to which he appears to be
in no wise entitled. True enough we
hold Vera Cruz at our own cost but
that doesn't seem to be getting us any
where or getting Mexico anywhere. 1t
is a muddle,s
1t is muddle Of which the Ameri-
can people are growing extremely
weary. With a general desire to back
up Wilson in all possible ways and to
assist rather than annoy or discredit
the administration the people are be-
coming extremely tired of kindergarten
diplomacy. The democratic admins
tration and Its president are likely to
find themselves sitting on the ground
between the two stools OF the Colom-
bian treaty and the MEXICAN imbroglio.

HENRY MAKES THE COLUMN.

lDdVcupOTC lIuSO.J
Once more Davenport has been made
famous. Once more one OF the cfty's ia
vorite sons has leaped into fame. Tho
Hon. Henry vollmer. congressman
from the Second congressional district.
has made the who Is who" column of
the Saturday Evening Post. q Depart
ment in which serious and frivolous
facts about the great are presented
for the edification and amusement Of
the weekly's readers.
Mr.. Vollmer Is pictured as one who
for many years had been afflicted with
a certain speech requiring certain care
fully worked out stage settings Of time
and place to give II vent. And while
the story moves slowly to the climax
with which all in the district are ia
miliar-the now famous speech on
Iowa and the tariff-it tells how tho
Davenporter can always give one two
full acts the start and beat the con-
testant TO the finish by several scenes
in quoting Shakespeare. And finally
comes the speech with its tribute to
Iowa-the beautiful. But the story
doesn't end there. 1t goes on to say
that the chronicler OF the event being
an honest man Is compelled. for the
sake Of truthfulness, to add that when
Mr. Vollmer concluded most Of those
who heard him laughed.
That Is the most unkindest cut of all,
for II there is anything our beloved
Henry desires 1t Is to be taken seri-
iously. But Just the same he has ar
rived. accomplishing a feat that some
congressman never accomplish until
they have struggled along in congress
for many terms.

The Iowa red light law may now
