THE SPUR OF NECESSITY.

Nothing confirms the old adage that
necessity is the mother of invention
than the manner in which chemists
and inventors are meeting the pres
sure caused by the war. Over in Ger
many, where copper has run low.
aluminium is being substituted in max
ing cartridges and finding substitutes
for everything else hard to obtain.
Here in this country our chemists are
working with success on dyes hereto
fore procured from Germany and on
other trade necessities for which we
have depended upon other countries.
When the war is over the forced dis
covery and invention and substitution
will astonish by its total
1t is the old story OF necessity. Pow
erty has made more men than all the
wealth in the world. When nations
and manufacturers and individuals
have to hustle or go without accom-
plishment Is certain. We are all SO
constituted as to take the plane of
least resistance. When the show down
comes. however, We find that we can
make way thru difficulties not as
eeasily but as certainly as we can walk
around them. With all it's wreck and
human debris war leaves something
strong behind. The stress and
strenuosity of it teaches much. The
struggle Of it leaves strength as well
as weakness.

HARD SURFACED ROADS IN ONO.

ten-year bonds issued by the county
and the bonds paid by taxes assessed
one half to the townships in which the
roads were built and one-half to own

Under these short time bonds this
system of 500 miles of macadam roads

WHEN YOU GET A BILL.


When YOU receive a bill from any,
body, don't get sore and resort to the
folly of making resolution to the eff
feet that iii show him." Speaking of
bad human traits there is no other that
is as prevalent or as unreasonable as
the one of taking offence at a state
ment of account. We all are so forget
fui OF favors. When a merchant or
any one allows US credit in times of
stress we are apt to forget all about
it when prosperity again smiles upon
US. A Minnesota merchant once told US
that many years ago when a number of
his patrons were in poor circumstances
he graciously carried them on The
strength Of promises that they would
pay when they got on their feet" He
stated that so per cent of them, when
they did set on their feet, CATER their
bills were outlawed) repudiated them
altho they knew in their narrow souls
that they were morally indebted to
their benefactor. A man may air his
virtues until he is blue in the face and
pray until the angels weep, but unless
he is so constituted that he will be on
the square with everybody We wouldn't
give boot for his religion. Honesty
Is something we should embrace and
shame the devil with. Getting sore at
the man who submits bill does not
liquidate the debt but indicates de-
sire to repudiate it and forget the favor
extended in the original transaction.

why DID BRYAN ou,r7

Senator Cummins, interviewed at
Des Moines upon his return, in speak
ing of the cabinet situation says:
Il do not believe the German note
was the cause for Mr.. Bryan's leaving

cause President Wilson has run his de-
partment from the beginning and has
obscured him in a way that is intol-

He took this occasion to get out in a
striking and spectacular way. His real
grievance was the insistence President
Wilson shows everywhere in domin-
ating the situation"
That is the general conclusion. Mr..
Bryan's explanation Of the cause OF
the split is far from satisfactory. It
suggests either that Mr.. Bryan is a
much smaller man than previous esti-
mates call for or that he siezed an op-
portunity to leave while the leaving
offered personal advantage.

Of financing the semi arid sections, or

ing tn highest type Of civilization. 1t

making our investments in new and
strange sections, or in strange lines of
business.
It is time to quit thinking about
speculative values and turn our at
tention to two points; the increase OF
the productive value, without which
the present prices can not be main
tanned, to say nothing OF increasing
them; and the increase OF their social
value, that is. making each township
and each school district place in
which the maximum of comfort and
the highest development Of character
can be secured.
The corn belt is in very great need
Of capital, working capital, capital that
will make lands yield the maximum OF
increase. But more than this we need
to develop the ability to handle CAPT
tai wisely. and that ability can best
be developed by creating capital and
then keeping it within reach.

A POLITICAL EARLY BIRD.

IS1OuX S-1Cy JouTHdi.J
Senator Joseph H. Aliens formal an
nouncement Of his candidacy for the
republican nomination for governor OF
Iowa probably will surprise some ola
timers. Iowa has not yet reached the
middle of the off year. A formal an
nouncement of a candidate nearly
year in advance OF the primary IS
political novelty. That the novelty has
been offered will not surprise observers
who have been keeping track Of politi-
cal developments in Iowa during the
last few months. Senator Aliens an
nouncement is a stragetic move in

spite powerful efforts to freeze him out
before he might really be considered
in.
It is assumed in some quarters that
the water wagon will be equivalent to
the band wagon in iowa next year
With that assumption there developed
flock OF dry candidates for the re-
publican nomination for governor. BY
process of elimination the field OF
likely drys was narrowed to two-Sen-
ator Allen, the original legislative
leader Of the recent successful proni-
bition and suffrage campaigns, and AT
torney General Cosson, who has con-
tributed much toward enforcement OF
the liquor laws and the suppression OF
vice. Not long ago It was suggested
in Des Moines that the friends OF both
| Of these candidates should get together
and eliminate one to make sure OF the
success OF the other in the primary.
The Des Moines adviser didn't say 80.
but it was his idea that Allen should
| be eliminated, leaving the dry banner
in the exclusive keeping OF Cosson.
Evidently the present announcement OF
the Allen candidacy II the answer to
that suggestion. The answer seems
to mean that IL Des Moines thinks #
Iexpedient to have only one dry candf-

You see when. We come down to the
brass tack proposition that this coun-
try is neither for Wilson or Bryan
but for the little old United States.
How would it do for Mr.. Bryan to
put his peace rules in operation be-

troll to read that tMuscatine officials

be borne by those who depend upon the
efficiency of flremen for the safety of
themselves and their property, don't

INVESTMENT OF FARM PROFITS.
GWallace's Farmer.1


If the farmers of the corn belt states,
after paying Off their Indebtedness to
the eastern states, had invested their
profits at home, that is, in the corn
belt, it would by this time be the
garden of the Lord, like the land Of
Egypt as thou goest unto Zoar." In
stead OF this, the corn belt farmers
have made their investment to very
great extent abroad, and mainly to the
north, south and west, under the
strange delusion that there was some
where else new corn belt waiting to
be developed. Many farmers have in
vested their savings in climate, imag-
ming that they were putting them into
orange groves, where they could do a
kind of Notwithstanding, In which
there was little toll and no care, moth
ing to do but pocket the profits. 1t is
said that forty thousand Iowa people
attend the annual Iowa picnic in Los
Angeles.
Others have invested their profits
in oil wells, which yield no profit,
in gold and silver mines, which exist
only in the imagination and in the
literature of the promoters. Others
have put them into desert lands, under
the strange and apparently lasting
delusion that rainfall follows the
plow." Others have put them in ap-
pie orchards that grow good-looking
apples, splendid lockers, in fact, but
furnish no profit after the cost Of
labor, transportation and commissions
is paid.
This Is human nature. We all like
to get rich, and many Of us think there
is short cut to wealth, that we can
do as those who toll not, neither do
they spin," and yet are arrayed in
glory greater than that OF Solomon, or
even the lilies Of the field. Experience
has taught us much.
Had corn belt farmers invested at
home. their farms would all be fenced,
outside and cross fences that would
be lasting. and hold anything that
was put inside them. Instead Of SELL
ing corn to the world, they would be
feeding 1t at home to well-bred cat
tie, properly housed and cared for.
They would have absorbed all the
bank stock except in q few Of the
larger cities. They would have been
able to finance any persons who needed
and deserved financing, and would
have been able to absorb the obligas
tons OF all the smaller cities OF the
corn belt.
Strange as 1t may seem, one Of the
greatest needs Of the corn belt 10 capi-
tai. A still greater need u that men
learn how to handle capital wisely.
There are a great many farms in the
corn belt that need drainage. There
are great many loafing acres. There
