LITTLE SOUND CORN.


The amount of sound corn raised in
the locality where the Eclipse cir
culates will be very small this year.
This will create new condition for
the farmers, who have never heretofore
been confronted with just the condi-
tons that exist today and it means
that hogs and cattle will be thrown
upon the market in an immature con-
dition, causing a serious loss to the
whole state. A great many hogs are
being turned into the corn fields to
eat up what good corn they can find,
and when they have harvested the
crop. will be shipped to market be-
cause 1t will not pay to buy high priced
corn to feed them. This will have a
tendency TO cause ii slump ii prices Il!
the early winter. but by y ext spring
high prices may again prevail. Corn
is rotting in the 5alds ana While the
dry weather of the past week has had
tendency to dry much of it out still
the loss will be simply immense.

MEXICO.

Mexico is a small but turbulent sec
ton of the bottomless pit which has
been having continuous vaudeville for
several years at the expense Of the for
eign investor It Is inhabited by a
warlike class of people called poems,
who lack polish and are never satisfied
with the administration. When they
become thoroughly dissatisfied ana
have been carefully primed with red
liquor, they go on the war path ana
exterminate everybody in sight who
has more than 50 in Mexican cur
cency on his person.
Mexico was discovered several hum
dred years ago by an inQuisitive Span
lard named Cortez, who ran into 1t
unexpectedly one evening and intro
luced the natives to some new and sue
cessful forms of sudden death. In
fact Cortez found 1t necessary to Kill
off most of the population. Of the coun :
try before he could induce the remain :
der to change their religion and table
manners. Spain ruled Mexico by long
distance telephone until 1924, when
| republic was formed and an equitable
division of the federal patronage was
| made. After trying out several presl-
dents who died with panied and sur
prised look, Porfirio Diaz was elected
in 1877 and ruled for more than thirty
years. Mr.. Diaz was the only presi-
| dent Mexico ever had who died In
leisurely and unimpa ssioned manner,
and he had to get out Of the country
| in order to do it.
Mexico is now ruled by two OF Its
leading statesmen, Villa and Car

toral vote with machine guns and
| wildcat currency. Villa would make
a poor president, as he never even
graduated from the high school and

A QUARTER, WORTH.

Ellis Parker Butler, who has attained
some sort of literary fame, mostly thru
one story, Pigs Is Pigs" is an Iowan
Lately the state library Of Iowa asked
MIR. Butler for a copy OF his book foi
TIC library explaining in a courteous
fashion that the library had no funds
or authority to purchase books of that
character but would appreciate any OF
all of his works. Mr.. Butler wrote
discourteous reply but sent his Pigs
Is Pigs with the following inscription:
To Iowa
Dear Iowa
State OF my birth
Accept this book
A quarters worth
oh, STATE of corn
Take it from me,
And ever let
Thy motto be-
Three million year
Ly for manure
But not cent
For literature.
Mr.. Butler has let the success of his
magazine story go to his head with the
usual result of enlargement and swell
ing of that part of his anatomy. The
fact is tina, he should feel honored by
q request for his book to be placed In
the state library. Further than that
he should have been delighted to gee:
il on the shelves by offering it him
self. For 1t is one Of those funny con-
ceptions that have sudden and
ephemeral vogue and that live long
If il is literature IL is magazine litera-
ture. 1t has not the slightest acquaint-
ance with President Eliot's five feet Of
,iteratu has nothing in common with
the living literature of American let
tiers. il is the Imaginable Skit Of 4
raconteur told in the smoking room
or parlor TO arnuse for the moment. II
is we'll told and funny. And it brought
its author all that ne had coming on
his merits. an invitation to sit at a
side table among much splendid COM
pany of living and ghosts that frequent
the state library Of Iowa. Other and
much greater men than he have re-
piled to courteous request from the
same source with courtesy and fine
appreciation.
II doesn't matter whether or not
Pigs Is Pigs" shall be in the state Ii
brary except as record of the work
Indifferent and good of Iowa writer's.
And it would be well for Mr.. Butler
10 take note of the established fact
that ali writing, even tho it should on
occasion bring a smile or tear is not
to be classified as literature in the
better sense of the word.
And taking MIR. Buffers viewpoint
OF Mr.. Butler and his quarters worth
of literature" isn't Mr.. Butler, the i'm
mortal. making a lot of fuss over a
25-cent affair?

DOG PRISONERS.
Manson DeYnocraf1

In commenting on the fact that dog
poisoning is being practiced in Gilmore
City, the Globe says. "a bad feature
of throwing poisons out is that valu-
able dogs are just as liable to pick it
up as the worthless dog is" That isn't
1t. Putting out poison for domestic
animals Is the work of murderer at
heart. A man who will deliberately
set out poison for domestic animals is
a man who would kill a human being
if he did not fear detection and punish
ment. killing dogs or domestic ami
mails is brutal sa.agery. nothing else.
No human creature has right to in
fict the tortures of death by poison on
any Of Gods dumb creatures. He'll is
full OF dog and cat prisoners. II those
creatures must be put to death, the
bullet or the suffocation method should
be used; poison never.

Surnames,

Surnames grew out Of descriptive
appellations. and the date at which
they originated varied, according to
the locality and the persons walk in
life. In the south of Europe we first
find them at the beginning OF the
twelfth century In the northern coun-
tries they were not universal at the
end OF the fourteenth, and in remote
parts of Wales in the mining districts
and in the slums of Glasgow they are
still unknown. They were first used
by the barons and franklins. then
by the tradesmen and artisans, and
lastly by the laborers.
