they shall understand the situation and

The records Of elections in Iowa dis
close the fact that since 1885 Iowa has
accorded three terms each to its Off
GERS who have served as treasurers of
state. The men who have thus been
favored are: V. p. Twombly, John Her
riott, Gilbert A. Gilbertson, and w. w.
Morrow, who was succeeded three
years ago by Mr.. Brown.
Abiding to the fight that is being
made against Mr.. Brown, the Vinton
Eagle, published by B. Murphy, has
this TO say editorially:
The Eagle must be excused when it
says ii believes William c. Brown,
present Treasurer Of State. is entitled
to third term under the usual rule OF
the republican party. Mr.. Brown has
had serious sickness, from which he
has largely recovered. 1t would be
unklndness to the quick to deny him
What has been granted his predeces-
sors. The politicians should be as fair
IL the people, and the Eagle believes
the people will willingly grant Mr..
Brown the usual third term"

DO YOU WANT YOUR
SOIL TEsTEDP

If any farmer in Iowa is uncertain
whether his soil is acid or not he
will have special opportunity to find
out on "Soil Acidity Day,"April IA,
just announced by the Iowa expert
ment station at Ames. On that day
all the soil laboratories at Iowa State
college will be set at work testing
soil samples sent in for examination.
The results will be sent out immedi-
ately thereafter to all concerned.
lowa's soils are more generally acid
than is commonly supposed and that
is one reason why it is so often diff
cult to get stands of clover and alfal-
ia. These crops will not grow in sour
soil. In the past year or two the
soil section of the experiment sta
ton has examined many hundreds of
samples of soil for acidity and the re-
suits show that acid conditions may
be found on farms in every part of the
state. Nowhere is the condition be-
yond easy remedy, but that remedy,
says w. III. Stevenson, head of the
soils department, needs to be applied
in the form of lime.
No charge will be made for the
tests for acidity and any Iowan may
take advantage of it, The soil sample
should be sent by parcel post to the
soils section, Ames, as soon as posi-
BILE and before April IA. To take the
soil samples, remove the grass or
other vegetation from about ten diff
ferent spots few rods apart in the
field. Take samples with an ordinary
augur or a spade to the usual blowing
depth. Mix all the samples together
thoroughly and then take a pint OF
the mixed soil and place it in strong
muslin sack or box for shipment.
Each sample sent should be plainly
marked with the name of the sender
and the location of his field.

WHEN PARTING is NOT SWEET.

Harry c. Evans, the Iowa man who
went to Europe as a member of the
Ford commission, has detailed some
pathetic incidents of the war, enough
to appall a world. He speaks of
standing on a railroad platform in
Berlin when another train was being
loaded with soldiers who were called
to teh front to help the assaults on
Verdun. There were four or five hun
dred women bidding the soldiers good
bye, and some fathers, although the
men were few. Baskets and boxes
and bundles we're brought by the wo-
men. There were whispered CONVEX
sanons, embraces, kisses, then more
kisses and embraces.
"A father and mother stood On
| either side Of a clean-cut. clear-eyed
lad of about twenty. He was large
ana handsome. The old folks could
not keep their hands of the boy or
their arms from about him. Twice,
Gtter agectionate farewells, they held
HIM back. After a final embrace the
father placed bis hands on the boys
head in benediction, and the three
heads were bowed a moment in silent
prayer. Then the boy was gone"
Four thousand miles away such in
| cidents may we'll dim an eye with
tears. But there was no hysteria
while the boys were going. AS the
train pulled out, for some moments
teh hundreds of women stood as II
stricken dumb, then a gasp, a low
moan. seemingly from every throat
'*"Tears were running down every
cheek. Several women sank to the
platform"

POISONED DOG RECEIVERS

Mink" a harmless but faithful
dog, known to everyone, was poisoned
last Monday, and for a while suffered
terrible agony. The poor dumb ami
NAL was given attention and finally
pulled through alive. 1t is not known
whether the poisoning was intention,
al or otherwise, but the matter should
be investigated and punishment met
ed out to the party or parties guilty
of the offense.

STEAL AUTOMOBILE SUNDAY

Sunday night some boys or young
men appropriated Rev. Giddens auto
that was standing near the M. E
church and went for a Joy ride
How far OF long they ran it is not
the Fred Stone residence, very hot
and showed some rough usage. The
intention probably was to take Vern
Swezey's car, but they were unable to
start it. However they used his driv-
ing gloves, which they left in Rev
Giddens' car. Such pranks are risky
and one is liable to get into serious
trouble over them.

HORSE HAULS 5000 LBS.

On Paved Road-But Only 800 Pounds
on Muddy Road.
The cost OF hauling farm pI oduce
to market is probably not so much in
creased by the presence of excessive
grades as ii is by the bad conditions
of road surfaces.
The desirable road surface is hard
and smooth. Almost every road is
fairly hard at certain times of the
year.
Too frequently, however, at the
season when II Is desired to use the
roads. the surface is soft, and the con-
sequent tractive resistance is excess
sive and wasteful. The most frequent
form Of soft road is the muddy sur
face.
Many attempts have been made to
fix the relative weights which horse
can dray in an ordinary wagon over
level road surfaces OF various kinds,
and the following figures are current
and fairly reliable, according to the
Greater Iowa Association.
HHui HtuNy IOauS.
On muddy earth road the amount
varies from nothing to a maximum OF
500 pounds; on smooth, dry earth
road. from 1000 to 1000 pounds; on
gravel road in good condition, about
$500 pounds, and on a brick road,
from 5000 to 5000 pounds.
These figures show that If the speed
Of travel is the same on all of these
road surfaces horse will haul on a
good gravel road four times as many
tons per mile in day as upon mod.
erately muddy earth road.
This matter may be considered ir
another way by admitting that one
horse is capable Of certain fixed duty
per day. Then with a given load, the
effective radius Of travel from a given
point on a gravel road is four times
the radius of travel from that point
on moderately muddy earth road
The trouble with unimproved earth
roads is that they are moderately
muddy for many months Of the year
