while there was nothing on your per son to indicate your name or resi- dence. the things you had in your pockets would give very good idea of the nature of work you had been doing.
 If you happened to be an attorney, doubtless you would have briefs, sug- gestions, letters relating to your business. Probably digest of impor tant laws and many other things that would lead the police, as they turned the story over to the papers, to say: "A man, evidently an attorney, was found dead on the streets last night"
 If you happened to be a physician there would be many little things, thermometer, hypodermic syringes, pellets and pills, together with a glossary of medical terms, that would reveal much relative to your person. ality and work in life.
 Or get at the proposition from an- other point of view. Suppose for any reason you should come under the sur veillance of the police and be arrest ed and "held as a suspicious person." The things found in your pockets would tell largely what kind of man you were. It would not be expected that if you were an upright and hon. orable citizen that you would have vulgar and obscene pictures in your pockets. It would not be expected that you would have poetry, so-called, that had victimized about your per son. Neither would you have poetry, so-called, that told of vicious and wicked acts committed by licentious men. If you were all that you claim ed to be, your pockets would bear strong evidence to the truth of your statements. You would hardly expect to find Bible in the pockets of a shell game man or pamphlet on "How to Play Poker" in the pockets of a minister of the gospel.
 It is to be expected that boys pass ing through the green and callow age will have in their pockets things from which either the worst or he best might be inferred, but the things a man has in his pockets will tell large ly what kind of man man is.
 Pockets are a necessity to the mod ern man. He cannot get along with out them. But there is no need that he should have them cluttered with things that are worthless, debasing and wicked. There are so many good things that a man may carry, things that cheer, inspire and encourage, in addition to helping him to keep tab on his business, that a man should see to it that these and these only are in his pockets.
 What are in your pockets today?

INSPECTION TRIP TO
 ~ PEACH ORCHARD

Cbas. A. Doak, local manager of the nslas Town Company and M. l.. Moore of Prescott made an inspection trin to the large peach orchard locat. ed at Highland, Arkansas. This or ,bard is composed of over 40O0 acres ssOOOO trees. If these trees were set nut 40 it. apart they would make a solid row of peach trees entirely across the state of Arkansas. Every thing is on a big scale in this man. moth orchard. There are nearly forty miles of piked roads through this or chard. graded and bridged. The rail road has put in over two miles of side track and switches through the or chard to the packing sheds in order that the big crops may be more easily and readily handled.
 The orchard is equipped with cleo uic lights and the managers office is conected to all parts of the orchard with telephone service. The Com pany expects to ship 1000 car loads of peaches this year. Besides the peach industry this company ships hundreds of carloads of cantaloupes and straw berries. Nearly 1000 barrels of rad isheS were shipped to northern mar kets this spring by the truck growers along the line of the Prescott & Northwestern Railroad. One truck grower alone realized $37500 net, for One-halt acre of radishes. Mr. Doah reports that in making the trip from Prescott to Highland a distance of about 35 miles that they saw very little cotton being raised this year. The principal crops being corr, oats and vegetables No single description would suit all of this land as some of it is level and some hilly; some has a sandy loam soil and some a gravely eay.-Spaskman News.

Shipyards Are Busy.
Philadelphia Record.

Philadelphia Record.
 The shipyards never had so much business as they have had since we al lowed 142 vessels to be transferred to American registry. It ought to con- vince the protectionists of the need lessness of monopoly to keep the shipyards from acquiring a coat of rust and barnacles. But it won't. As soon as Congress meets we shall have renewed appeals to save the infant in- dustry of shipbuilding from extinction by excluding all competition and sub sidizing their products. Two passen- ger steamers have just been contract ed for at Cramps, making over 30 vessels now building or under contract at the Delaware River yards. All these yards are now working at full capacity, and several large corpora tions are reported to be in the mar ket for steamers.

 The statement from Secretary Yum ulty to the effect that President Will son, destpite the grave strain upon his mental and physical forces, is in ex- cellent condition-in fact that he never felt better than he does at pres ent-will be received with the deepest satisfaction by about all of the mil lions of Americans who can appreciate its meaning.

GAMBLING IN WHEAT.
IRurlinrron Hawkeye.1

Quite recently an Iowa judge has
held that money lost gambling in
wheat need not be paid. for such
speculation is neither more nor less
I than gambling. That appears TO be
good common sense. II seems under
/ the circumstances that the county au'
,horities have just two things TO do
The men who thus get out of paying
their debts, ought TO be arrested for
gamb!ing and taken before the grand
jury and fined as the law provides.
And the bucket shop ought to be
raided and closed and the operator
ought to be treated just as If he mad
1 been running faro game or any
I other kind of a gambling game. II
fact, il is much worse TO gamble with
food products than TO gamble with
cash.
/ Now that an Iowa Judge has seen
the light. does it not appear possible
that some of these days a federal
| judge or two may see the light ana
/ that the big gambling houses that
masquerade as boards of trade, be
closed forthwith and everybody con-
nec,ed with the same be prosecuted
| to the fullest extent OF the law ana
| fined accordingly.
| Inore was IlUCn IGSS a.
time. over the Louisiana Lottery ana
there was much Growing when Uncle
Sam put that gambling institution out
of business. OF course il was bad
thing Nobody denied il at the time
except the people directly interested IN
The profits and they did not make
very strong defense. But 70 the pres
en, gambling in food stuTs is not
looked upon as gambling by many
good people. They seem TO imagine
I that there is difference. In what
tina, difference consists they can
scarcely define. They talk about the
fact that there is actual wheat bought
and sold That may and may not be
| the case. In the most transactions not
a grain OF wheat changes hands, and
the BUYER does not see what he buys.
while the seller sells something that
he does not possess. Perhaps now
ever. some time will pass before the
people will discover what was known
TO people thousands Of years ago. that
gambling in food stuffs is not only bad
morals. but what is perhaps more I'M
portant from the point OF view CT the
public Official and that is. that 1t is
against good public policy That Iowa
Judge and his decision are going TO

IOWA FARM LANDS.
TBurlington Hawkeye.l

>oai AAsiWhSSO'J
The Joliffe farm, near PloVer in
Pocahontas county, changed hands
few days ago. There are asa acres in
the property and three years ago 1t
brought $4,000. This year the price
had gone up Ia $4,000. OF course
that does not prove that land values
are almost doubling in three years in
Pocahontas county. The second deal
was partly a trade, and by estimating
the property taken in trade at pretty
high figure. the $4,000 limit was
reached. There seems 20 be no need
of putting the figures any higher than
they really are, for the advance in
Iowa land values iss till on and II has
reached figures where the whole
United States and the blooming neigh
boring country to the north are sitting
up and paying attention. There have
been booms in Canada anH elsewhere
and the bottom has dropped out OF
most of them, and is sure to drop out
of the rest. But there has been no
boom in Iowa land. but the people are
simply beginning to discover that land
is valuable in the best farming state
In the nation.
