than the newer west. Almost every
state west of the Missouri river has
universal suffrage and it will be but
matter of time until many of the
eastern states will have it. The
west, as usual, is pointing the way.
The Greeks are among the best
soldiers in the world, but it is said
that the average Greek lighting man
is opposed to present methods. They
do not like to destroy the enemy by
deadly gases and liquid fire and do
not relish the idea of killing nom
combatants with explosives and 9TH
er missiles dropped from airships.
A Toledo, Ohio, man has just re-

Germany may be short on food,
but she seems to have an abundance
of ammunition, and that is some
thing the allies cannot boast of. l.
is reported that even Italy, who has
been in the war only few months,
is unable to continue her offensive
because of lack of munitions. Ger
many saw into the future further
than any Of them, and that fact may
bring her victory.
The baby show at the Avoca fair
was an unqualified success. Of the
forty-three little ones entered and
examined not one scored below 81
per cent. One little corn-fed miss
from the country scored 1913 per
cent perfect and another little one
from Council Bluffs tied the score.
The baby crop of, the state is by far

It is reported that Wilbur Wright,
who recently sold his airship pa
tents for $1,000, 900, will return to
his workshop at Dayton, Ohio. He
wants to work quietly, as he did be-
fore he gained wealth and fame. OF
course his mind will be as active as
his body and it will be surprising if
he does not again astonish the world
with some new invention. Such men
as Wright are not accidents. They
are given mental equipment for ex-
traordinary things.
Germany did not have to execute
Edith Cavell to protect its own in
terests. It could have imprisoned
her until the end of the war. Re-
gardless Of the conduct of Germany
in this matter, there ought to be a
better way to deal with spies. The
spy, as a rule, is a person Of more
than ordinary intelligence and
courage. He or she is doing what is
conceived to be a duty. Then why
not treat them as other prisoners Of
war are treated?
A ten year old boy, Glen Catnn,
produced this year 1855 worth of
produce from square rod of ground
in Emmett county. It has been fgur-
ed that had he made every square
rod in an acre produce equal value
the crop from the acre would have
been worth $3,04S. That is what
Iowa soil can do if enough labor is
put upon it. Out in California
where they produce $500 or $500
worth of fruit on an acre of ground
it costs them in labor about the full
value of the crop. This is one feat
ure of the business that the land
boomers never mention.

1t is now reported that Berlin has
promised Greece the island Of Cyprus
If Greece will remain neutral, or
join the central powers. AS this is
the same island that London promis-
ed Greece to enter the war it appears
that all Greece has to do to get that
chunk of territory is guess right up
on the outcome of the conflict, and
that is a pretty hard proposition.
True, Germany has been gaining
many months, but the resources OF
the allies are so great that if it
comes to conflict of endurance, as
seems likely, the allies certainly
stand the best chance of winning in
the end. Russia alone could hold
off the central powers for years.

stepped from the United States peni-

pleted sentence for using the mails
to defraud while a resident of Okla

Nichols was indicted by Federal

Coughs and colds are the most COM

remedies that are recommended for
coughs and colds. you will find that

Mrs. Diefenderfer of the Presby
terian church, who was recent Wis
tier here, told an interesting story
of the progress of the mission schools
of that church. The most important
school conducted by this church is To-
cated at Asheville, N. c. The mis-
sionaries devote their time to bring
ing children from the mountain homes
where educational advantages are
poor and where parents have not
been aroused to the necessity of the
training of the minds of their chill
dren. Many very bright boys and girls
are brought from the mountains. They
are good students, they develop rapid
" under the change of surroundings,
and when they have finished they re-
turn to their homes to become teach
ers and leaders in their community.

revoutioDized by these schools The
are not ouly taught from

training. When one has finished his
school life, he is ready to take up

There is Il reasonable prospect that
cotton will sell at a good price during
this year. There IL a chance for the
war to end, but In case it does not, the
business Of the country has become
adjusted to the situation and cotton
will move this fall and the price will
be better than it was year ago,
While the acreage will be reduced in
this country, the smaller acreage will
be better cultivated, and the produc-
tion will equal the crop of last year If
the season is equally as favorable.
