Our three great cement plants, our
sugar refinery, great steel car works

The natural advantage of Iowa
as an industrial center is that she
is in the center of all raw material
and of the greatest market that is
or ever will be; her water transpor-
tation facilities are perfect.
There is no natural handicap
against Iowa as a manufacturing
state: absence of available capital and
labor supply is an advantage in the
hands of a strong mana real man
ufacturer; he turns it to his advan-
tage.
All these statements are proved by
the fact that highly prosperous fac
tories exist in every part of the state,
wherever a capable man has attempt
ed to manufacture. Every factory
failure in Iowa has been due to a
misfit man attempting something he
had not learned how to do.

The Good Roads Commission.

Commissions named to suggest
legislation to general assemblies,
whether named by the legislature or
otherwise, have not usually been
very successful in Iowa. We hope
that the new better roads" commits
sion appointed last week by Cover
nor Clarke may fare better than the
average, but if it does it will be be-
cause it puts an enormous amount OF
sound common sense into it's recon-
mendations, and strives for an accel-
Grated development rather than for
a revolution in road building. We
recall very distinctly that six years
ago the best friends of rural educa-
ton in the state secured the appoint
ment of an educational commission
to recommend changes which would
make for the betterment of the rural
schools. Tho commission worked
hard and presented an admirable
scheme, based upon a consolidation
of rural schools, but it was of such
revolutionary character and made
changes SO sweeping, that it set the
rural population of the state af1ame
with excitement, and the legislature
was flooded with protests. The re-
suit was that absolutely nothing
was done at that session. The COM
mission meant all right, but their
work in reality set back school pro-
gross two years or more. They SIM
ply tried to upset the habits and
customs of sixty years all at one
stroke, and brought about a reaction
which prevented even their worthy
proposals from getting a fair hear
ing.
The new commission is liable to
run into the same sort of situation
unless it is careful. Radical ways
and radical means are not likely to
win. This fight must be won a step
at time. The general assembly
three years ago took an enormously.
big step when they classified the
roads and provided for supervision
in their construction. The results are
everywhere apparent in an entirely
new, uniform and permanent system
of building grades. The people are
now generally growing accustomed to
this new system and are recognizing
it's value. The time is ripe for an
other good long step, and the COM
mission can get the credit for it i'll
they will proceed with caution and
not try to get beyond hailing dis
lance of public sentiment as they go
about their work.-Jefferson Bee.

II every ear of corn intended for
planting was harvested at the proper
time and properly stored, millions of
dollars would be added to the value of
the corn crop.
Fig. l.. Harvesting the Seed Corn
for Next Years Planting.-Every ear
of corn intended for planting should
be harvested before the severe fall
freezes, and stored where it will dry
out and keep dry. In Iowa and the
northern half of Illinois this work,
should be done the last ten days OF
September and the first four or five
days Of October. Frozen seed corn costs
the country millions of dollars every
year.
A Convenient Method of Gathering
the Seed as One Passes Between the

nail key is put in the top of the sack.

One of the very best methods for
gathering the seed is to go into the
best and earliest planted fields with
bags and select we'll matured ears
from the most vigorous stalks. The
cut shows convenient way to ar!
range sack so that you may have
both hands free for picking.
You must not fail to consider the
stalk In selecting your seed, for it
takes large, thrifty stalks to produce
good big ears. It is not a good plan
to take the ear from a stalk that
grew in hilr by Itself, or from one
in the hill with a barren or veal
stalk. Many of the kernels on such
an ear are likely to be pollenized by
the barren or weak stalk.
Choose Ears of Medium Height
II you select, the highest ears your
corn will gradually become late, and
If you select the lowest ears you will
soon have an early corn with shallow

is slipped under the string in the
other hand, and fastened.
Tie and hang up the seed the same
day or evening that it is brought in.
This method Of tying up allows free
circulation Of air. It is circulation of
air, not heat, that is needed to dry
out the seed. Corn commonly contains
at this time from 30 to As per cent of
water. 1t requires but a few minutes
to tie up 800 or 400 ears.

attic or some upstairs room where
the windows can be opened to give
circulation of air during October and
November, is the best place to hang
seed corn. A space three by eight feet

A Missouri editor has figured it
out that the women do not need any
more rights, since a man can't sell
his house and lot without his wife's
consent; he must pay bills whatever
they are; if he deserts her, she can
jug him, if she deserts him he has
to take his medicine; if he jilts her
she can mulch him for breach of
promise, if she jilts him he gets the
laugh; if he dies she gets the prop
erty, if she dies he gets the funeral
expenses; if he whips her, he gets
the whipping post, if she hits him
with the skillet, the world concludes
that he deserved it. And still she
wants more rights.

The Country Paper.

Last week Clint Price, of the In
dianola Advocate-Tribune must have
been short of copy and dashed off the
following which we commend to our
readers:
You don't expect much from a
country newspaper-and sometimes
You don't get much.
In a country newspaper you are
shocked or. surprised at some things
you see and expect such things in the
metropolitan dailies.
The country paper can record the
births, deaths, marriages, etc., while
the metropolitan dailies make you
weary about the stork.
The country papers tell of friends
visiting friends, while the metropolis
tan dailies speak of sO-and-se being
the house guest of-but why say
more? -
How in thunder could they be the
guests of the people in the home if
they were not house guests? But may
he we are shy on such things.
In your big metropolitan dailies
you get all of the scandal you want
divorces galore for your morning
reading, thoroughly spiced with po-
lice court and some golfing news.
OF course in the city they say lunch
when they mean dinner and play
bridge all afternoon.
No country paper that we know of
has ever been guilty Of furnishing it's
readers with a weather report that is
unusually unreliable-or reliable
either, for that matter.
But in some respects the big dali
les have an advantage over the coun-
try weekly.
They can put things over that
don't go with the brush fellows.
A daily paper sets it's price re
auires payment in advance-and, be-
ieve me, they get it.
It's different herewith whole
lot of people-don't let it drip
through your noodle that we are
getting ready to explode.
Every county seat paper in Iowa
has large number of subscribers
who are in arrears all the way from
ten minutes to ten years on their
subscription, and
The same delinquent subscribers
have taken a daily paper all the
time for which they have paid in ad
mce.
Il has been recorded that a man
Who provideth not for his own house
hold is worse than a n-Of-a-gun-
q. something similar.
In daily paper you get some of
aAe news-such as it is-not the lit
lie things that concern your home
and your friends.
But don't lose sight of the fact
that you pay for what you get in the
daily.
Again. the man who can pay and
won't is worser than the fellow who
sent pay, but would like to.
But there is whole lot more |
pleasure running country paper
than a big daily and you don't have
u pay an income tax on the fun you
have.
It's your friends round home that
rake this life worth living-they
iako it what 1t. is.
81 You 1eave lots Of things out Of the
joper fearing that to print all the
