that you have gained much prosperity

LORDS AND RETAINERS.
The Feudal System Has Not Yet Been
Entirely Eliminated In Japan.


Entirely Eliminated In Japan.
There is In Japan social relation
ship between employer and employee
not known In your country. 1t is the
relationship OF lord and retainer. For
many centuries japan was under a
feudal system where the giver Of 'yok"
Tor annual pensionj was the lord while
the recipient Of 1t was the retainer.
Such feudalistic relations between pay
err and payee have not yet altogether
died away in this country, though they
are gradually diminishing with the cap
italization of labor Even today he
who pays wages is allowed to assume
something of the mental attitude OF
the lord-not In despotic but In a
protectoral sense-toward those who
receive them.
A young man who was earning his
school expenses by work in America
came into possession of lengthy let
ter from his mother left behind in ia
pan repeatedly advising him to be loyal
to the person Of his master, and he
looked around to find, to his renewed
surprise, that nobody would claim In
the republic such personal loyalty as
his good old mother must have meant.
But in Japan there exist many sub
jects for his quasi feudalistic virtue.
My American readers may think that
the comparative scarcity of strikes In
Japan is due to lack of self assertion
on the part Of laborers, but that is not
quite right. The chief explanation
must be found In their active loyalty
to their employers person rather than
in their passive forbearance. From
"Japan's Message to America" by
Kojiro Matsukata ID. c. L. Yale).

LITTLE WATER POWER CURRENT
Engineers Say Iowa Streams Can Not
Make Electricity Profitably.

Little hope that any considerable
amount of electricity may be developed
in the future by Iowa water power is
held out by the state engineering ex-
pertinent station at Ames. which de-
clares, as the results of a special study.
that not until there is big advance
in the price of coal will it be economic
ally wise to harness Iowa rivers for
power purposes.
Iowa streams flow over fiat country
and the head of water is low, and great
quantities are needed for power DAMS
The wholesale drainage of swamps and
lakes is cutting down the supply OF
water available during the dry months,
so that many streams no longer have
enough flow in summer for power
turbines. The big investment required
for high tension lines and equipment
also stands against water power.
In Iowa fifty eight water wheels and
turbines. with total horse power of
1929. were used in 1912 for generating
electric current. In addition to the
10000 horse power development OF
the Keokuk dam, the most notable
water power plant is that of the Upper
Iowa Power Company. OF DEBORAH,
which has two plants which total 1,40O
horse power. Humboldt has a water
power plant which operates three IT'S
kiloHatt generators.

FIRST IOWA LAND SURVEY.
Was Made Over Eighty Years AGO in
Lee County

Leo County.
The first land surveyed within the
state of Iowa was the so-called Half
breed Tract which constituted the
southern part Of what is now Leo
county. In January. 1892. Jenifer T.
Sprigg was appointed to survey the
tract "Spriggs with all the neces-
sary provisions and three employees,
shipped from st. Louis and arrived at
Keokuk about the middle of March,
1892" says the writer Of an article
published by the State Historical So
ciety Of Iowa, while two other en-
ployes made the journey by horse and
wagon. The surveyor set to work with
the aid of two chain carriers, an axe
man, and a flag man: while hunter
and camp keeper prepared their meals.
The projected the northern boundary
Of Missouri eastward, meandered
streams in the tract, and established
section and township lines. The town
site Of Keokuk, one mile square, was
laid out at the foot Of the rapids, and a
similar area was surveyed at Montrose
on the old Spanish land grant Of Tes-
son. Both of these sites were extreme
ly advantageous and valuable because
steamboats, on voyages up and down
the river had to unload thei. cargoes
here in order to be lightered over the
rapids. BY the 18th Of March, 1888,
the Half breed Tract had been sur
veyed, and plats and field notes were
forwarded to Washington, D. c."

IOWA CAN GROW cvcUMsERs.
There 10 no Need Of Importing Them
From Other States.

i
From Other States.
School girls are proverbially fond Of
| pickles. So are most of us. and yet
Iowa people this year are eating GU
cumber pickles that grew in Michigan
and Colorado, because in Iowa and the
warmer states southwest, the under
| side Of cucumber leaves are attacked
by little, soft bodied insects that suck
the juice and life from the plant, and
it can produce few or no good pickles.
Entomologists have known for a long
time what would kill every one of these
plant lice that 1t touched, but they have
not known how to put the poison rapid
ly and cheaply enough onto the under
side Of the leaves.
This we have done for the last two
years." says c. L. Fitch, of the depart
ment of agricultural extension of Iowa
State College. by the use of what we
call trident, set for an instant over
each hill and the sudden discharge of
spray under pressure of $50 to ESQ
pounds to the square inch, we throw all
the leaves up and get every louise. The
same insect also attacks watermelons
