THE 1915 CENSUS.


That the growth Of Iowa is an
equable growth. practically every COM
munity sharing in it, 10 indicated by
the population figures Of the 1915 CEN
sus, which have just been made pub
lie in Des Moines.
The census of 1915 was something
like the late elections in the east-it
brought little Joy to almost all con-
cerned-to Des Moines. because It
passed 100. 900; to Sioux City because
it passed 10000; to Dubuque and Cedar
Rapids, because they passed 10000; to
Waterloo and Council Bluffs. because
they passed 10000; to Mason City.
Marshalltown and Keokuk. because
they passed $1,000; to Oskaloosa, be-
cause it passed 10000.
The fact that the same cities which
were the first twenty cities in 1900 are
the first twenty cities in 1915 is fairly
good proof that the growth in popula-
ton has been general.
Des Moines. Sioux City, Davenport,
Dubuque and Cedar Rapids continue to
be the first five cities in. the order
named, but there has been q rearrange-
ment of the order Of the next fifteen
cities. Waterloo becomes the sixth

ell Bluffs the seventh, instead OF the

Reaman, Nov. 9.-W P. Boyle, OF
this place. has trick horse Attic he
can not talk, this horse seems to I'M
derstand the English language. Told
to lie he does so with some reluctance
probably because Boyle's trick dog
gets on his PROSTATE form and sits up
and speaks Then Boyle asks the
horse il he's sick and a horrible groan
is the answer. Given dinner bell in
his mouth he rings it as loud and long
as a country landlord. He both kisses
and bites Boyle when asked 10. Seems
to enjoy the bite part But the "cutest
trick is playing the banjo. Boyle
holds the banjo close to the horses
head, gets his hengers on the strings,
and then the horse rubs his nose
across the strings and the two get
tune, q real tune out Of the mutual
artistic work. This horse Is "a sure
musical cuss" for he will continues to
play the banjo even when Boyle Is
ready to quit. Some dog and pony
show will have the three performers
before long.

CTMMINs OR BURTON,
lNeYaia REPRESENTATIVES.

With respect to the preliminary
campaigning for the republican nom
nation for president. the suggestions
emanating from the elections are
negatively highly favorable to Cum
Minis Directly he was not involved,
and he is permitted to stand upon the
record of last year when he ran for
reelection to the senate and triumphed
notably. In contrast Senator Root.
who without being candidate has un-
doubtedly been most seriously regard
ed as an eastern possibility has met
crushing defeat in the reputation Of
his new constitution. and Weeks, the
only active candidate in the far east
has gained nothing. The next candi-
date in that region Is Burton, and tho
the minor republican success in Ohio
may help him slightly. and tho the
field has been cleared for him in his
own state by the withdrawal OF Gov
ernor Willis. yet the chances taken and
won by Cummfns must contrast with
the course OF Burton who last year
scuttled from a real fight that was to
be made then in Ohio and who comes
round seeking the rewards OF victory
only after other men have done the
winning. But 1t grows more evident
that 1t Is with Burton, after Roots in
evitable elimination. that Cummins
must measure strength for the favor
and votes Of Minnesota, Nebraska. the
Dakotas. Kansas and other western
states. and between whom and himself
the delegates from the east and else
where will be called upon to make the
final choice. In great political field
no aspirant can develop his full
strength until it becomes evident be-
tween whom and himself the Anal
choice is to be made. When this stage
is reached men choose their sides
promptly and rapidly and somehow the
growing issue between Cummins and
of an issue to assure the rapid and
commanding growth Of the Cummins
candidacy.
RELMoND BEET SUGAR FAcoRY.
Hampton Chronicle.1
Those Michigan sugar beet grow
ers are about the smoothest bunch
that ever came over the pike. Hamp-
ton people are acquainted with the
fact that there was great boom on
here a few years ago to get sugar
beet factory and the promoters" OF
the factory didn't do a thing but get
every one to grow and weed sugsr
beets-even some OF the business
men leased tracts of ground and got
into the game. Everybody interested
knows the result.
| However. the sugar beet fellows
succeeded In getting lot OF acreage
| here for a couple Of years, but it was
| soon discovered that it took dagoes
to weed and raise sugar beets. You
could hardly get white man to get
down on his knees these days and
I wade thru beet patches when he could
get all the work he wanted which was
much easier.
The deal Of building factories was
worked at various other places, and
in this way the beet factory kept a
pretty good acreage growing In this
| part Of Iowa. Two years ago there
was sure to be a factory at Clear Lake,
providing enough acreage could be se-
cured, and everybody got busy and
put in big patch Of beets. The
| Chronicle called attention to the facl
