MILLIONS FOR FARM DEMONSTRATION

Every state in the Union has availed itself of the pro- visions of the Smith-Lever law, and in consequence S4,- 750,O0O is to be spent this year in farm demonstration work throughout the coun- try. The man who does not learn how to grow two blades of grass where there was but one before, or put up a prize acre. of corn, will not be able to blame any one but himself as Uncle Sam and the states are teaching just how it is done in his own neighbor-- hood.

NEW BATTLE-CRUISERS

In case of war with a for eign country, the fleets of the United States navy would be compelled to put to sea and fight it's enemy, since there would be no hiding in secret places, as has been the case with the big European navieS.
 This fact has no doubt been largely responsible for the announcement that Pres ident Wilson's program will include a request to Congress for the construction of a big battle-cruiser superior in it's speed and power to anything now afloat.
 Preliminary designs for this class of vessel has been prepared, and the administra- ton plans for a battle-cruiser that will make thirty-five knots speed. This is equiva- lent to a fraction forty land miles. The fastest battle cruiser thus far built by any of the powers is designed for not more than thirty knots. Consequently, the American battle-cruiScer will be able to sail rings around any foreign vessel of similar type now in commission.
 The cost of such a ship will be approximately eighteen million dollars.

LET THE BUYER
 BEWAREw

When some of the large merchants of the country adopted the "one price" Sys- tenn, it was hailed as a victory for the buyer, who for ages had been accustomed to be- ing trimmed in prices and goods in all sorts of stores.
 Congressman Kelly, of Pennsylvania, declares that the cut price system as oper- ated by many merchants is a return to the old days when the purchaser was forced to make the rounds of the stores and compare goods and also prices, and then, after finding the articles desired, haggle with the merchant until a price was agreed upon be- tween them-that meant that the chances were all in favor of the customer being nicely cheated"
 It is therefore interesting to know the method of req soning consumers in the in- terior of the country use in passing up the local merchant to part with their money to the mail order house and de- partment stores. MT. Kelly raises the interesting point that in fair methods of trade, the small retailer can com pete with and out-distance the big mail order house. He shows that it costs a far greater per cent to run a mail order house or a department store than it does to run a small retail establishment, and he concludes that the only reason why the man who sends away to buy his goods has for thinking that he gets more for his money is because he receives in return on infarior ouai1tv of oOodc

THE PANAMA CANAL

There is considerable con- sternation owing to the slides in the Panama Canal, and naturally a condition that has already tied up one hundred boats at the entrance of the big waterway is very serious.
 However, in Washington, where the entire circumstan- ces are appreciated, there is not any alarm. The builders of the canal have tried to it plain that the slides will occur for a number of years, until the hills that were cut apart adjust themselves to the new order of things.

CHILDREN'S READING.
In One School SOLVER Twist" Was
Read i'm Week.

The modern school teacher hands
out an arithmetic in one hand and
standard novel in the other. Teach
ers conventions have much to say
about intoxicating taste for good
reading. A ninth grade boy who was
visiting here the other day said that
in his school they had to read "O!iver
Twist" in a week. Then they had to
write a composition about it. In many
schools books like Cooper's novels
are substituted for the old time read
ing books.
In many ways this works well.
Children become familiar with the
printed page. They read easily and
get in the habit of using newspapers
and books regularly. In this they ac-
quire a superiority to many of their
elders.
There are a great many people do
ing excellent work in the world who
never look into book. They buy
magazines that advertise Easy read
ing" Books look too formidable.
This works against mental a!ertness
and breadth of intelligence. The
schools are doing their best to avoid
turning out this type of mind.
In some cases this emphasis leads
children to read too much. Many
boys spend most of their spare time
over story papers. They are absorb
ed in the improbable adventures of
impossible heroes, becoming little
dreamers. Instead of doing things
themselves, they give attention to
how their favor.te characters did
things. This makes them mere spec
tators in the game of childhood. 1t is
passive life, and not merely dulls
initiative. but may impair health
and eyesight.
Here is a great problem for the
teacher. The bookish boy needs to be
drawn in the direction of sport and
hand work. The boy of non-intel-
lectual tastes needs to become inti-
mately familiar with the printed page.
The ideal school is the one where
this distinction is recognized and the
tasks are fitted to the individual pa
pill.

Dry Out the Seed Corn.

Assuming that we may have the
most favorable possible weather for
the next month, we may still feel sure
that corn saved for seed will take a
lot of drying to insure safe keeping.
Even in normal years, we pay too lit
tie attention to getting the seed ears
we'll dried out. 1t is labor lost to go
to the bother of gathering the seed
ear by ear, selecting those most per-
feet, unless they are hung in a dry
place where there is an abundant cir
culation of air, and so hung that ev-
cry side of every ear will be exposed
to the drying process. Devices for
hanging seed ears are now so plenti-
full and so cheap that no man who
goes to the bother of picking seed
corn at all can afford to do without
them.

HANDS OFF NEW CAR.
Owners Save Money BY Observing
These Suggestions.

"Altho forewarned by every in
struction book ever issued by an au-
tomobile concern and despite the ad-
vice of every experienced motorist,
the average man driving mis- first car
can scarcely forbear tinkering with
the adjustments on his machine,
says the Minneapolis manager of a
large distributing concern.
Perhaps one in every fifty actual
ly secures better results by altering
adjustments, but the ordinary Mr..
Fusser, without any mechanical
knowledge, is simply stirring up
trouble for himself. Taking out
spark plugs to clean them, cleaning
the breaker parts in the magnetic,
changing the adjustment of the pin
ion and level in the rear axle are
just few of the score or more little
adjustments that Mr.. Fusser finds In
dispensable.
OhiCoo thC OWhCl oOhC lCdi
mechanical ability and knows what
he is doing, he will be adding little
by little to the eventual cost of over
hauling which his car is bound to
face.
Taking out spark plugs to clean
them often results in cracked porce-
lains and a new plug. If an oiling
system is right, there is no need to
clean the spark plugs oftener than
once year. There are many cars
running today that have not had the
plugs cleaned for two or three years.
"The same applies to carburetors.
The owners who keep on adjusting
them all the time very often succeed
in keeping them continually upset,
getting over-rich mixtures and other
troubles. Many drivers claim that
on a trans-continental trip it is neces-
sary to change the carburetor adjust
ments almost daily, but there are just
as many who have made the trip and
have successfully followed the policy
of letting we'll enough alone"

Hard Luck For Packers.

Last fall and winter, British war
ships seized four vessels bound for
Denmark and loaded with meat prod
uc.s consigned by the Chicago pack
ers. These vessels have been held
pending the decision Of the British
prize court on the question as to
whether the cargoes were contra
band, or destined for Germany. The
court rendered the decision last
week, to the effect that, as it seemed
certain the destination was Germany,
the cargoes were subject to confisca-
ton by the British government. The
value is in the neighborhood of $15,-
00O, 900, and if the decision stands,
this loss will fall on the packers.
The court gave the right to appeal to
"a higher court, and this will be done.

The Marshalltown Times-Republi-
can says that next years autos are
in this years silos. Moral-build
silo.' Out this way we must have
silo farmers before we need silos.
There are number of people living
in this county who do not believe in
saving the corn stalks or the straw
on the farm-they think it is easier
for the live stock to go in the field
and help themselves to the few rag
ged leaves on the wind whipped
stalks than it is for the farmer, or
his boy or hired man to go to the silo
and throw the feed. Then, too,
the six or eight dollars more per
acre that the stalks are worth in
silo than out in the field do not ap-
peal to them. They can still borrow
money at the bank, and pay day is
a long way off.

Automobiles On Streets.

A Des Moines judge holds the city
ordinance down there regulating the
length of time an auto can be left
standing on the streets to be Illegal
We don't know how the case will
come out but if the early man can
block street all day with his auto
because he happens to work down
town, then the next fellow can leave
his car in the middle of the street.
for it is manifestly unfair to say that
one lineup of autos along the curb
is legal while the second row OF au-
tos would be illegal. An auto has no
more right to remain standing all day
in a busy city street than has a mer-
chant the right to move his store out
into the street and do business there.

The question whether the state or
the county has jurisdiction over in
sane patients in the state hospitals
will be presented to the supreme
court for settlement. Washington
county supervisors recently asked the
Mount Pleasant hospital authorities
to return thirteen insane patients to
Washington county to be cared for at
the county farm. The hospital SUI
perintendent refused. The supervis-
ors took the case into the district
court and secured a decision that
the commission OF insanity from each
county retains jurisdiction over in
sane patients when sent to state in
stitutions. The state authorities OBJ
ject to the finding and have appeal

FIRE PREVENTION DAY.
Saturday Oct. 8 Has Been Set by
Gov. Clarke.

Gov. Geo. w. Clarke has set Satur.
day, Oct. 8, as fire prevention day 70,
Iowa, and has issued the following
proclamation:
The last report of the State Fire
Marshal shows that in 1914 4,29G
fires were reported to his office, and
that they involved a loss of $3.50
9S5.00, or $16,O52.OO per day. This
does not cover the total number o!
fires or the total loss, because some
officials fail to make reports. The
same report shows that the damage
to dwellings in 1914 was $106
$500 more than in 1913, and that
thirty-eight more barns and fifty-sev'
en- more stores were destroyed OF
damaged than in 1913, and that fifty
five factories were damaged or des-
troyed. The loss from defective flues
was $S4,157.0O more in 1914 than
in 1913, and from sparks from flues
$64, 100000 more. Sixty fires were
caused from defective wiring in
1914, and the loss occasioned from
the careless use, handling and stor-
age of gasoline was $131,127.00.
1t must be said that very great
portion of this loss is due to careless
ness and negligence and that it ought
not to be so. The people ought to
give careful consideration to these
matters. In order to call their atten-
tion directly l do hereby proclaim
Saturday, October 8, 1915, Fire Pre-
vention Day, and request that it be
observed in the schools, in public
meetings and in such other ways as
may be deemed suitable, to the end
that the people may be aroused to
the necessity of examining carefully
into the condition of furnaces, the
inspection of the condition of the wir-
ing of their homes and other build
ings, the condition of flues and roofs
the storage of gasoline, the deposits
of waste and, generally, to the elm
ination of any and all conditions like
ly to cause a confiagration.
1t is a reproach that Iowa should
suffer millions of dollars of loss an
nually from fires caused by pure neg
lligence. 1t is inexcusable that the
careful, cautious property owner
should lose his home or other build
ling because of his careless, reckless
neighbor. 1t is a matter of conmu
/ nifty interest and it is entirely worti
while that day be set apart t.
arouse the people to the necessity o.
reducing the danger to the minimum
The mayors of cities and towns 1t Is
hoped will inaugurate general clean
up and inspection movements.
In testimony whereof, have here
unto set my hand and caused to bt
affixed the Great Seal Of the State o
Iowa. Done at Des Moines, Iowa
this 18th day of September, 1915.

The announcement of THE Trail

quite bit of pleasurable anticipa-

The firm of Gaskell and MacVitty

inducing Klaw and Granger to allow
them to direct the tour of the play in
a restricted territory.
The extraordinary reading accord
ed this gem of John Fox, Jr., is
positive fact, and 'tis a well-known
truth that no amount of booming can
induce people to read book that
does not have the appeal and conse-
quently the wonderous reading of
The Trail of the Lonesome Pine"
speaks of its great interest as
story.
The story has been made into q
play by Eugene Walters. His position
as a dramatist is undisputed.

ped the play with scenic investure,
the replica of that used in its long
run at the New Amsterdam Theatre,

Iowa and Apples.

This is another of Iowa's apple
years, says the Alta Advertiser.
While riding through the country re-
Gently we were impressed with the
heavily laden trees and the ground
covered with wasting apples. Why
should not more emphasis be placed
on saving and marketing Iowa ap-
pies? If more attention was given
to spraying and trimming the trees
there is no reason why Iowa apples
should not rank with those of the
so-called apple states.

Supervisors Like Other Officers.

County supervisors are good deal
like other public officers. There are
good ones among them and there are
bad ones, says the Carroll Herald,
The office is one of the most impor-
tant that men can be elected to, and
too many are untitled for service
when elected. But that's true OF near
ly every other Office, We believe thai
supervisors do their work as effici-
emily and honestly as other officers.
This discriminating assault OH
boards of supervisors is unjust There
are supervisors and supervisors.
