The Fort Dodge Chronicle has no
patience with this cant about the spe-
cial sanctity Of commissions or COM
missionerships. 1t is a species of
idolatry for a mere form or name.
The government is just as good or as
bad as the mean average of the intel
ligence and integrity Of the men who
constitute it, Good or bad 1t is repre-
sentative of the morals and wisdom OF

result. This Is what has actually
taken place in England, for 1t IS
proved fact that the mean temperature
in this country 10 appreciably higher
than 1t was several hundred years ago.
A generation or SO back Glaisher COM
puted that at Greenwich the mean
temperature had risen 2 degrees IN the
preceding 100 years. Certainly severe
winters are less frequent than Tor
merly. and when these do occur they
are rarely experienced until after
Christmas. The dryer ground Is able to
hold the warmth of summer far INTO
the autumn. In this way the threaten
ing cold Is diminished and kept at pay
for a longer period than would other
wise be the case.
AS one would expect, some or the
most interesting results in the way OF
artificial interference with climate are
to be found in the case of those coun-
tries which have been colonized WITHIN
compa ra lively recent times. Inc
breaking up of the vast prairie lands IN
America and Canada is having very
radical effect upon the temperature OF
many districts The experience OF
those who have investigated the matter
goes to show that the more land IS
broken up and cultivated, the more
even is the tempera ture. That great
dread Of the western farmer-the sum-
mer frost line-is being pushed farther
north year by year. ]. Obed Smith, as
sistant superintendent of immigration
for Canada, says that twenty five years
ago in Manitoba summer frosts were
expected as a natural and inevitable
event. The only question agitating the
farmers mind was whether the vista
ton would be severe enough to damage
the crops Al the present time the
question of summer frosts has become
almost tradition; for generation the
farmers have scarcely been troubled
at all in this direction. 1t is not only
in the summer (but in the winter as
webb that an increase OF temperature
Is to be noticed.

KAISER SPURS ARMY
 TO SPORT INTEREST

BERLIN. April 4.---In order to de. velop the interest of the German army fin the Olympic games to be held in Berlin in 1916, the Military Weekly has started the publication of a sporting supplement. and Emperor William has rpesented a gold cup as first prize in lawn tennis tournament for officers of the army and navy.
 The Military Weekly is the official organ of the army. The supplement appears monthly under the title Sport in tho Army" and publishes orders and regulations of the Minister of War concerning athletics. reports of the Military Olimpic Committee, etc.
 The first number contains the regu- lations for two big military athletic meets this summer. a track and field meet with the modern pantathlon added. open to aii officers, June . to &. and a mee. open to all enlisted men June 6. Leave will be granted to all officers and men desiring to enter these meets at the Stadium. officers sections have been added to most of the larger athletic clubs in Germany. and contests for officers are regular and we'll filled events on the pro. grams of most club athletic meets. German tennis experts see very 'lttle chance for the German repre-. 'entatlves in the coming contests for
 he Davis International Cup. On the basis of the draw it is thought that Germany will have Co meet Australia, regarded as the probable winner in the first meeting with Canada. The , representatives of the British Isles. 1t ,s anticipated. will defeat both Bel gium and France and in the final match. it is regarded as almos cer. tain, Australia and Great Britain will compete for the honor of playing the United States.
 German officers always have man. tested keen interest in riding. pistol competitions and other branches of
 'port identified directly with military life, but since the award of the Olym- 1ic games to Germany for 1916 this YnteSbst has Si11n extended to all forms of athletics

PALM SUNDAY.

Fulfilling its part a community which is haiowed by the true spirit of religious observance. the Warren District will participate today in the worldwide ceeba ton of Palm Sunday. How many know the significance of this event?
 The blessing and carrying of palms in procession derives it's origin from the action of the people of Jer salem in going to Savior the Sunday be- fore He died, and conducting Him in triumph into the trees on the way for the humble animal on which He rode to tread upon But this very action prompts the reflection that this have been customary way of showing respect person distinction, why do the people it this occasiong Turning to the Sacred Scriptures. find the bearing of branches have been of the principal ways manifesng joy and one not only approved but commanded by God the foundation of the Jewish religion When the people assembled in the fall of the year. the garnering the harvest to celebrate the feast Tabernaces Coo said to them:

Richard A. Garfield has sold his famous collection of Whistler pic lures, vclued at several hundred thou sand dollars. A few years ago. 1t will be remembered, MT Garfield was known as the greatest gambler in the world. But when District Attorney Jerome put the lid on gambling in New York eight years ago MT. Can field was forced to retire It was gen erally believed at that time that he was millionaire. His famous estab- lishment next door to Delmonico's, and his equally famous gambling house, the Saratoga Club. near the Saratoga race course, for years were immensely profitable. MT. Garfield hailed originally from Providence and got his first start in the gambling pro. fession by catering to the sporting proclivities of the idle rich at New. port When his establishments in New York and Saratoga were closed he took many of his valuable pictures to his old home in Providence.

Nowadays electrical engineers go to see the great new station which the electric light and power company has built in 2Olst Street. The compar ison between the new station and the old Duane Street station is startling. In connection with the new station a unique and interesting problem has arisen. Several eminent authorities on acoustics and methods of silencing noise indoors and out have been en' gagged by the company to devise some scientific method of silencing the roar of these giant 15.OOO-kilowatt turbine driven generators with which the sta ton is equipped. The noise of these big generators in operation is SC great that the property owners in the neighborhood have complained TWO large doors in the front of the build ing are left open all night, and with the rush of air from the basement generating room the roar of the gen orators Is carried out into the night disturbing the sleep of apartmeni dwellers dozen blocks away.
