Some Sayings of Lincoln

The reasonable man has long
agreed that intemperance is one OF
the greatest, If not the greatest, OF all
evils among mankind"
THE way for a young man to rise
is TO prove himself in every way he
can, never suspecting that anybody
wishes to hinder him"
II have been driven many times TO
my knees by the overwhelming convic-
ton that l had nowhere else to go.
My own wisdom and that Of all about
us seemed insufficient for that day"
Neither let us be slandered from
our duty by false accusations against
us, nor frightened from II by menaces
Of destruction OF the government, nor
of dungeons for ourselves. Let us
have faith that right makes might,
and in that faith let us to the end
dare to do our duty as we understand
It,"

Farming on Ice

Farming over ice Is a feature of
ranch life in the Tanana valley, Alas
ka. The valley is three hundred miles
long and fifty miles wide. 1t is de-
scribed as a vast bowl Of solid ice
thinly sprinkled with dirt. The bowl
OF ice never thaws save near the sur
face. But on a foundation OF per-
petual ice farmers are raising bumper
crops Of grain and gardens are produc-
ing vegetables declared to be superior
in yield and quality TO any grown in
the United States. The strangest fea-
ture OF Tanana valley farming is that
1t is possible only because the subsoil
is eternally frozen. When the spring
begins TO thaw the surface the pillow
turns over the surface Of the earth
above the ice. and as the thaw pro-
ceeds moisture is given off from I'M
foreground, forming perfect sub ir-
rigation system.

EDUCATIONAL NOTES
Items OF Interest to Friends and
Patrons of our Schools.
EDUCATIONAL BILLS

Two bills of far reaching import
ance TO the schools OF the state have
been introduced in the present legisla-
ture. IL is proposed To enact a law
providing that persons who have not
had experience in teaching must have
six weeks of normal training before
they can receive certificates TO teach
only persons who have had a year OF
so OF training. There is no teaching
position so difficult as the country
school and the country child is en-
titled TO as good care as the city child
The proposed law will help to bring
about better teachers for the public
schools by insisting on some training
before they begin to teach.
The other bill relates to school
buildings. Before a new building can
be erected the board must submit to
the State Superintendent OF Public
instruction and TO the Secretary OF the
State Board OF Health the plans Of the
proposed building. Not until the plans
have been endorsed by these officers
can the building be erected. Also, IL
any building now In use Is on inspec-
zion found unsafe Ii may be con-
demned by the same officers who shall
also have authority TO see that the
building Is put in a safe and sanitary
condition before II can be used for
school purposes.

Today's Poem
WHEN YOUR BACK GOES BACK

WHEN YOUR BACK GOES BACK
Edmund Vance Cooke)
Up from the earth you have risen,
moliusk TO mammal to man,
Up from the earth, as retold in your
own little span;
From wiggler and creeper you. grew.
From no-foot and four-foot to two.
Till only your shoe soles are touching
the earth
To recall the long climb from the
CRIME where your being had birth.
Crown OF creation, you stand, and with
never a lack,
Till in the prime of your time-your
back goes back.
ouch! there's joint where you never
had known was a joint;
Osteo-, homeop--. anyop--. rub and
anoint
Yesterday where you were supple,
Today you could nearly uncouple:
yesterday twas 1t but yesterdayD up
ward you shot
Straight from your pelvic-bowl like a
plant from a pot,
Now on your vertebrate-frame, like a
wretch on rack
You crumble and grumble and grunt
when your back goes back.
Upward from earth you have
risen, and downward you must
That which has come from the clay
shall return to the dust.
Upward you stand till the crack
In your aeon-on-aeon-m made back
Bends you and breaks you and brings
your head low,
AS back, horizontally back, to the
wriggler you go.
Dome-browed and straight-eyed you
stand, and secure from attack,

ATTORNEY GENERALS OPINION

ATTORNEY GENERALS OPINION
The following opinion has been rem
dered by the attorney general: In the
case OF children who are unable to
attend school because their parents
cannot provide food and clothing for
them, 1t Is the duty OF the supervisor
Of the township or the county superin-
tendents of the poor to render the as
sistance necessary. The burden rests
upon those officials whose duty IL is to
furnish necessary assistance to poor
persons rather than upon the board Of
education Act 1913 OF the Public Acts
OF 1911, authorizes the board OF educa-
ton to grant such relief as will en-
able children TO attend school where
the services of the children are re-
quired for the support of themselves
or the assistance of the parents. This
act, however, has no application to
cases where children are kept from
school because Of lack OF clothing or
proper food.

Cedar Falls, Ia, Jan. 1.-THE
parcel post system as a cheap and
efficient means of baggage delivery
was exploited by hundreds of Teach
ers college students returning to
school last week following the h iii
day vacation. AS a result local bag
gage and draymen suffered notice
able slump in receipts contrary to
their expectations.
With fifty pound limit on par
cells within the first two zones, many
students sent their baggage direct
by mail from their home towns to
their Cedar Falls rooming houses at
less cost than the drayage of their
luggage from the railway station to
college Hill. Others, coming on the
interurban line, hose downtown de-
pot is adjacent to the postoifice,
checked their luggage to Cedar Falls
and then utilized the parcel post as
a cheap transportation of it to Col
lege Hill. Uncle Sam had to en-
bark in the drawing business for a
time to handle the immense quanti-
ties of heavyweight parcels that con-
gested the local postoffice.

TO SHOOT THE DOGS.
Law Makers Propose to Have Them
Kept Home.

Des Moines, Ia, Jan. 11.-Dogs
will become legitimate game if law
which Representative j. Z. Craven,
of Jasper county, is planning, goes
thru the coming legislature. The
bill Mr.. Craven is preparing would
give any farmer the right to shoot
a lone dog upon his property and
the owner would have to establish
proof that the dog was not at large
or be subject to fine up to $50. "The
present law permits the sheep owner
who has been damaged by dogs to
sue the owner of the dog" says Mr..
Craven in explaining his plan, "but
generally the owner has nothing but
dogs and the sheep farmer cannot
recover.
There is much brush and waste
land in the state which would more
likely be used for pasturing sheep
if the owners could be protected
against the depredations of dogs. In
the case of incorporated towns, the
law would permit the licensing IF
dogs, but they would have to be
kept within the incorporated limits

MAKES LOO ON IL ACRES.
Land i'm Hawkeye State Will be
Worth $500 Per Acre in Few
Years.

Some people in Iowa and outside
of Iowa laugh when they hear it said
that farm land in Iowa will be worth
$500 an acre within a very few
years. However, the Greater Iowa
Association is serious about it.
How many Iowans know that
Frank McMillen, farmer, who lives
at Agency, Iowa, cleared up 81, 100
this year on twelve acres of potatoes
and melons? Mr. McMillen started
in the first week in March and plant
ed five acres of Early Ohio potatoes.
He marketed them the first week in
July for $50 per bushel. He plant
ed four acres of potatoes and melons,
two rows of potatoes to each row of
melons He got $3.50 per bushel
for some of his potatoes and those
he held until this fall, he sold for
zoe per bushel. Then he had three
acres of such sandy soil that he
didn't believe he could raise much of
anything, but he did plant it to mel
ons, got fine crop, had a delightful
summer, and sold his product for
.$1,121.
Suppose Mr.. McMillen's profit was
$50 an acre, and any farmer in Iowa
will admit it was a good deal more
than $50 an acre, but just suppose
the net profit was only $50 per acre.
Thirty dollars is six per cent of $500
and an acre of land is worth what
ever sum it will earn six per cent on.
If Mr.. McMillen can earn net profit
of $50 an acre on his twelve acres,
those acres are worth $500 each.
And what Mr.. MoMillen has done,
every farmer can do. There ism
an acre of farm land in Iowa today
that is worth less than $500, If we
only realized it.
