Niagara's Rainbow.

That rainbOws are often seen across
the mistS of Niagara falls is Il fact,
but we do not think the phenomenon
is as perfect, that is to say, as dis
tinct, as the bow sometimes seen
across the heavens. 1t is distinct
enough, however, to be called rain

A WISE VETO.

The president is entitled to high commenda-
ton for his veto OF the army appropriation bill
because of the scandalous rider which few re-
tired army officers had attached TO II, exempt
ing them from active duty in time OF emergency.
We hope that not many officers were responsible
for this provision, which like all riders seems 10
have got into the bill by underhand methods.
At least it is certain the public did not know It
was there and we doubt if many congressman
did.
Anyway, Mr.. Wilson detected the joker: and
despite his general approval Of the bin. to
whose policy he is broadly committed, he wisely
and coura geously vetoed it. In doing so he re-
buked an attempt to shirk obligation and es-
tablished the claims of the public upon group
of men with whom the government has re-
ciprocal contract for lifelong support and life
long service We have no idea that any one in
or out Of congress will raise voice in favor Of
the proposed exemption, and it may be taken
for granted that the essential parts Of the bill
will be passed without delay as necessary for
mality.

their convictions. Rather. they are
the more respected for it. Mr..
Meredith's excuse for drinking the
stuff is silly He ought to know that
drinking men do not believe what he
said and non-drin1ing men know his
sense of courtesy Is false. And since
he has extended this courtesy to both
guest and host, it follows that he has
served champagne at his own table.
where he is the host That is, Of
course, voluntary. No man is under
compulsion, even of courtesy, to set
liquors before his guests, although
t may be socially handsome to do so.
And under the laws Of Iowa one
may not do so neither now, nor be-
fore the repeal of the mulct law. It
was as illegal to give champagne in
gilded dining room as it was to
sell grog in an alley.
While saying that he does not be-
lieve that his opponent, il elected.
will enforce the laws, Mr.. Meredith
has confessed himself to be q violat-
or of the laws about which he is so
much concerned-for politics only.
The whole thing is silly and polit-
ically deplorable. But as 1t is written
that they who draw the sword shall
perish by the sword, so those who in
dulge in personalities affecting the
other man may find the personalities
affecting his own progress. They are
two-edged swords.

AN ILL WIND, ETC.

Several of the leading newspaper publishers
! in the east have decided to reduce the size OF
| their papers and after September first they
will not take back unsold copies from dealers.
| It is calculated that in Philadelphia alone two
hundred tons of print paper will be saved
every week by this action, and the saving IS
necessary. The publication business IS rapidly
| getting down to hard pan-because 1t has 70.
Waste of any kind can no longer be permitted,
and unsold and free papers are waste. Economy
| is absolutely essential these days and the CON
sumption of print paper must be kept down.
There is not at present sufficient supply to go
around properly and the prices are quite as high
as the traffic can bear, and rather more so.
The modern daily newspaper is too big. This
complaint applies to the big city daihes more
than to the output in the smaller towns Yet
on occasions the latter publications have over
stepped the bounds of profit to the publishers;
but high price of material has been a teacher
who laid ON correction with hickory stick,
and this procedure, while painful, has been
wholesome In results. Hereafter it is promised
that there viii be less amount of rubbish and
more news and articles of Intelligence
And the scheme of smaller newspapers
should be valuable education to the reporters
Most news stories are too long. The writ
ers frequently string out to column length
what might be typed in half that space-some-
times less-without spelling the :" story The
newspapers would be better and readers would
profit if reporters we're more adept in the fine
art of boiling down It is an art to tell story
in a few words and it is an art well worth cul-
tivating. A dozen people will read story that
commands no more than fifteen or twenty lines
where one will wade through article OF
column s length or more.
When Frank Munsey bought the New York
Sun he gave out a notable interview on this
question of reportorial verbosity- He said:
1.-THE best newspaper / ever saw was the old
four-page Sun. - The slow and difficult methods
of composition in those days made it neces-
sary for reporters to write concisely. Charles
A. Dana, editor of the Sun at that time, was a
past master in the art of condensation and In
stilled its virtues in the minds of those asso-
ciated with him in the conduct of the newspa-
per- It will be fortunate indeed If the print pa
per shortage compels return to this sort OF
writing.

CARTHAGE, ILL. AliG. -.

State Entomologist W. z. Flint and
County Agent ]. III. Lloyd were In the
south part of the county on Aug. 10.
studying the southern corn root
worm Mr.. Lloyd estimates that
twenty-five to thirty-five percent OF
the corn acreage of the county has
been more or less seriously damaged
by the worm, the principal injury
being in the south half of the county.
This is the first time that this pest
has ever been reported IS doing seri
Gus injury as far north as Hancock
county. 1t is always present in al
parts of the state. but we have nevei
before had it doing so much damage
SIS this year. The northern corn root
worm which is sometimes quite bad
here is not present in any numbers
this season II viii not be confused
with the southern one as the north
ern worms are much smaller and the
adult beetles are smaller and lack the
twelve black spots on the back
The spotted beetles of TIE southern
worm are not nearly SO numerous in
the infested area as they were
couple of weeks ago. The indications,
at present. are that the second brood
is not faring SO well probably on &C
be that the danger OF serious injury
will not be so great another year. 1t
is still TOO early to tell about this.
however. and nothing really definite
will be known until the insects hiber-
nate in October. No one has ever
before made comprehensive study
of this insect and it is not known for
certain whether they pass the winter
mostly as the egg, larvae, pupae or
adult. This is the work which Mr..
Flint and Mr. Lloyd expect to do and
after the information is secured they
should have some definite recommen-
dations concerning control measures
for this pest

Soil Improvement association have

half mile northwest OF Carthage on
Tuesday. Sept. II. The people of the
county and any others who may care
to come, are invited to join with the
members of the association on tina 1
day. Everybody is expected to bring
q basket dinner which will be eaten
in the shade of the trees in regula-
ton picnic style.
Frank l. Mann has been secured to
deliver an address at 100 o'clock in
the afternoon. Practically all of our
farmers know Mr.. Mann, either
through his writings for the Prairie
Farmer or from hearing him speak
on previous occasions. Those who
have had the latter opportunity will
be sure to come and for the others
who have never had that privilege,
this viii be a good opportunity to see
greatest progress in the practice of

canning demonstration and talk for
the ladies will be given. Final ar
rangements for the demonstration have

young and old, have challenged the
married men to a baseball game,
which is to be played on the new dia-
mond that is being prepared at the
fair grounds. Other amusements will
be provided for the entertainment Of
the crowd A picnic of this sort is
a fine place to meet farmers from
other parts of the county and to talk
over crop conditions, farm business.

you have not seen for years. Remem-

FAIRY TALE FROM THE BORDER

OF course soldering on the border isn't a
parlor occupation, nevertheless the Iowa infan-
tryman who is alleged to have written the secre-
tary of war a letter expressing his delight with
the service enjoys it almost too much. Honest
perspiration," delightful to move along
strange new roads, - visit the excellent show

state of exultation seldom attained in real life
Those who have at some time enioved them
selves camping will nevertheless find it hard to
recall an occasion when everything was so
lovely that even perspiration turned honest and
coffee could be drunk while hot enough to give
off steam on a summers day
This Iowa infantryman (alleged) has not
observed any jolly rattlesnake, or amusing
stimulating scorpions about camp, or else he
would undoubtedly have had a word of praise
