The people would then be supporting
an educational system, a government

setting up barrier to education and
therefore deserves the condemnation
of every friend of democracy.

"(3) Let the large foundations be

Thomas W. Churchill, president of the
New York City board Of education, re.

BEET SUGAR men
SEE MISTAKE NOW
THOSE WHO HAD LAND NEAR
MASON CITY BELIEVED THEY
LOST A GOOD CHANCE.

Mason City, Feb. 20.-Sugar beet
raisers and those who converted the
beets into sugar now realize that a
great financial mistake was made
when the mills at Waverly and at
Chaska, Mimi, closed down on &C.
count of the tariff. For while there
was q decided depression In sugar
but a qnuick reaction followed and
prices of sugar went skyward. Had
the beet sugar factories been operat'
ing as they had three, four and five
years previous, there would have been
tremendous profits. The condition
has led to discussion Of opening the
beet sugar mills of Iowa and Mime
sofa again this year. In northern
Iowa alone, within a radius of 100
miles from Mason City, there We're TO-.
900 acres at least planted to beets, and
nearly every farmer engaged in beet
growing found 1t profitable. The
acreage was increasing rapidly and
there was talk of erecting new mills
at Clear Lake, Usage, Emmetsburg
and other localities. When change
in the administration came stock
holders were afraid Of their dividends
and mills shut down and valuable
properties went into decay.

Harry B. Anderson, a graduate OF the
OttumWa high school and for two
years student at Iowa Wesleyan col
lege, during which time he also acted
as secretary to President Edwin A..
Schell, recently submitted an article
entitled "The Tendency Toward
Monopoly in Education" to Congress-
man James r. Mann, which was pre-
scented TO the house of representatives
and referred to the committee on edu-
cation.
| AS Iowa is noted for its large number
of small colleges having in proportion
to population, approximately four
times as many degree granting colleges
as Massachusetts and approximately
/ six times as many degree granting col
| leges as New York, the defense which
Mr.. Anderson makes of the small col
leges is of special interest. He critl-
ciseG the United States bureau of edu.
cation for recommending in it's annual
report for 1913 that two or three hun
dred of the smaller colleges should be-
come junior colleges and give all their
strength to the work Of the first two
college years" He also called attention
Ito similar recommendations at other
times by the bureau of education and
+, to it's invitations to fourteen different
organizations, including the council on
medical education of the American
Medical association. to appoint repre-.
sentatives who will cooperate in the
work of classifying colleges and uni
versities."
Mr.. Anderson quoted Henry s. Prit
chett president of the Carnegie Foun
dation for advancement of teaching, as
saying that many things about col
lege can be sharply and definitely ap
praised" but that "All this does not en-
/ liable one to separate colleges into
sharply divided classes. These are ex
'ternals. 1t is not so easy to determine
I, in what way are defined the intellectual
and moral forces which ought to form
the real college," To further bring out
the barrier to educational advancement
which the closing up of SO many small
colleges would mean, Mr.. Anderson
quoted from an article by G. P. Cary
of Madison, Wisconsin, showing that
even the state universities had various
unfortunate tendencies which demand
ed consideration. Among them was the
fact that "a million and half OF
money year has come to be meagel
amount for the running of our largest
state universities" To secure the
funds desired there was the danger o.
the lobby and the resorting to politics
to secure their ends.

head at Washington and embracing the
public schools, the colleges and uni
yersities and the education Of adults

the bear lady, to Neddie and Beckie,
the little boy and girl cubs, II am go

good while l am away"
I'VE will, mamma" promised Beckie,
looking to see IL she had a pink dress
to put on her second best doll, Sallie
Ann Ticklefeather, In place of the blue
one.
You are going to sewing bee,
mamma" said Neddie. with a smile,
"and we are going to good-be-l
mean we will be good"
THAT will be lovely!" laughed Ma
ma Stubtail.
And my once naughty tongue is
going to be good, ALSO" went on Ned
die. as he remembered the time he had
to have a rag tied around his mouth be-
cause he was impolite to his Sister
Beckie.
So Mrs. Stubtail went away with
Mrs. Wibblewobble, the duck lady, and
several other of her animal friends, to
do some sewing for Uncle Wiggily
Longears, the rabbit gentleman, as his
housekeeper, Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy
was too i'll to do 1t herself.
When the ladies met togethers that
way, and sewed, they called it a "bee. ,
Not a honey bee, you understand
though, when the ladies all talked at
once 1t did sound like lot of bees buzz
zing. Perhaps that Is why they called
1t bee.
"What shall we do, Neddie?" asked
Beckie, when their mamma was gone

very politely. 81 think will 60 to the

"Oh, fine" cried Beckie, as she blew

brother. And while he was gone to the
store Beckie thought to herself:

Wiggily's sewing bee with mamma. Fol

looked at her dolls work basket that

than do.
ooh, know what I'll dol" cried
Beckie and she sat down and begar
sewing very quickly. She had many
buttons, several needles filed with diff
ferent kinds Of thread, thimble and
all that.
What are you doing?" asked Ned
die, when he came back with the Jolly
pops, one favored with huckleberry
salad and the other with rice pudding
sauce.
Il am sewing buttons for Uncle Wig
gily," said Beckie.
But how can you do that?" asked
Neddie, as he gave his little bear sister
the largest lollpop, the one favored
with Ice cream cones, while he tool
the one that tasted most deliciously o
maple sugar pancakes. How can yol

TRAER PLANNING
FOR THIRD BANK

Traer. Feb. 2O.-Traer is to have a
third bank. This time it is to be a
farmers bank and A. J. McGovern
and a Mr.. Clark of Davenport are the
promoters. Already $4,000 worth of
stock has been subscribed. They have
secured the building now occupied by
Willis Green as a meat market and
will have possession within thirty
DAYS. This will necessitate the NOV
ing of the meat market but as Mr..
Green has had an option on the build
ing now occupied by the Variety store
for some time, it is likely he will take
advantage Of it and close the deal.
Store room and even lot room is at
a decided premium in Traer these
days.

cloth here, how is that going to help
Uncle W1ggily over in his hollow stump
bungalow" Neddie asked, curious-like.
THAT won't do his buttonless shirt any
good"
"Oh, yes, 1t WILL spoke Beckie with
a laugh. II will sew lot of buttons
on little squares Of cloth. Then on the
underside of each bit OF cloth III put
stamps
! YES" said Neddie, go on
And whenever Uncle Wiggily sees
place on his shirt where there Is no
BUTTON" explained Beckie, 'or where
one is dingling-dangling by single
thread, and he pulls 1t off. why he just
paetes one Of my pieces OF cloth with
a button tightly sewed to It, on his
shirt where the button ought to be-
It's just as easy as sticking stamp
on Santa Claus letter.
| why, that's fine!" cried Neddie.
Cant help?"
| "Well, you might thread my needles
thimble when drop it. But I'm afraid
you couldn't sew the buttons ON exactly
straight"
mo, perhaps l couldn't" admitted
Neddie.
So Beckie went on sewing the but.
tons on big piece OF cloth. intending
later, to cut 1t into little squares, and
put sticky stuff on the bottoms, Just %
postage stamps are made.
| Well, the two bear cub children were
having sort Of busy sewing bee all Of
their own, when, all at once, thero

the cave door.
for, just then Neddie was threading
needle, and as he wasn't very good at
that sort of thing 1t took all his u.
tention.
Carrying with her the big piece Of
cloth, sewed over with buttons as close
ly as cob Is covered with kernels OF
corn. Beckie went to the door. And.
as soon as she opened it, she saw,
standing there, a bad old tail-pulling
chimpanzee monkey, who had given UP
tryin to be good, and was mean again.
"Ah, ha!'' cried the chimpanzea
monkey. Nov can have good time
I'm going to pull your TAIL Small and
stubby as 1t Is. I'll pull it,"
For moment Beckie was frighten-
| Oh, CuCu BIG UcCdIuo UIdV0, I'LL VI
a sudden.
Hal" Pull my tail, will your" sne
cried. WELL l just guess I'll have
something to say to that" And ell
at once, she threw the piece of cloth.
all covered with buttons as it was,
right in the face of the tail pulling
chimpanzee monkey. Some of the but.
tons tickled him on the nose, some
made his eyes smart and others tingled
his ears, clipping and clapping them.
Swish! Swang! Blurg!" went the
button cloth, as Beckie switched 1t in
1.-The chimpanzees face.
ooh, WOW" he howled. ooh, pray
excuse me! l made a mistake: 1t
isn't your tail I want to pull at all.
!, It's the elephants tail, for he doesn't
mind!" and with that away ran the
chimpanzee, and Beckie could go back
and finish making the postage stamp
shirt buttons for Uncle Wiggily's shirt.
And when Mrs. Stubtail returned
from the sewing bee. she said Beckie
was very smart little cub, AMI that
Neddie also was very good. So in the
