VACANT LOT FARMING.

Vacant lot farming, always attractive In
theory, is bound to command more Afternoon
next season because Of the great advance III
the prices Of foodstuffs. The experiment mas
been tried in various cities, but generally with
limited success. But for eighteen years the
Vacant Lots Cultivation association OF Phlla-
dephia has carried on its work, achieving
practical results In the summer of 1914 SIX
hundred and three gardeners cultivated plots
covering eighty-one and half acres; the cost
of cultivation was seven thousand, six hundred
and ninety-three dollars, and the food produced
was valued at thirty-two thousand dollars, or
four hundred dollars an acre. Land is loaned
to the association, subject to dispossesslon by
the owner The association prepares the land
for cultivation by blowing and divides IT INTO
gardens of about one-sixth of,an acre. Fertlll-
zers and seed are supplied at an expense to the
association of about five dollars garden. The
charge to the gardener is one dollar for the first
wear, two dollars for the second and so on un-
til the amount spent by the association is re-
turned The work on the gardens is done by
the various families and the crop therefrom
after supplying family needs can be disposed
Of by the gardeners It may be desirable for
other cities to study the Philadelphia plan with
view to adopting it.

casual visitor an index to the temper

casual visitor an index to the temper
Of the state
Here there can be no fierce politi-
cal strife, no acrimonious debate such
as disturbs ,he atmosphere of less
favored regions. Here all is serenity
and contemplative repose.
How favored we are that the won
derful Iowa autumn makes 1t impos-
sible to wage bitter political fight.
For six weeks we have been basking
under the autumnal sun, rejecting
only on the richness of our harvests
and the bounty Of nature, undisturbed
b; the world war, untouched by pas
sion.
The only trouble with the Iowa
autumn is that it does not last all
winter. 1t has it's lethargic days.
and perhaps they are in majority,
yet there are times when a keener
wind and a sharper tone to the air
sends challenge of activity through
the veins. The autumn is time for
work, but not for selfish striving. Its
mellowing influence makes men
charitable, helpful, cooperative.
Fortunate 1t is that our elections
are held in the fall If they came
at any other season OF the year, the
campaign might get quite heated.

INDUSTRIAL EFFICIENCY SPREADING

There is a difference of opinion both In this
country and abroad as to whether there is to be
a long trade war after the present conflict
ends Not even the chairman Of the United
States Steel corporation, who views world
trade conditions from the standpoint Of an ex-
pert went further in a recent statement than
to say that, regardless of the success or failure
of the proposed commercial war scheduled to
come after the European hostilities are over,
this much is true-the belligerent countries
will protect themselves by establishing ade
quate tariffs. All that is known is that compe-
ftition will be keener than before, and that
American producers will need the same aid
from the government that the governments OF
other countries give to their competitors.
That there will be trade war, but unlike
what the delegates to the Paris economic con
ference had in mind, seems to be the opinion of
IT, B. Doan, president of the National Machine
Tool Builders association. Mr. Doan says the
struggle of the world has become one Of ma
chinery against machinery, whether in war or
in peace, and that fine mechanical devices OF
every nature are the war weapons of civiliza-
ton. There is large measure Of truth in this,
and it is worth while to note the effect the war
has had on increasing the industrial efficiency
of the nations engaged. According to an Eng
lish authority, since the beginning of the con-
flict the manufacturing efficiency of Great
Britain, France, Russia, Italy and Japan has
been doubled This is interesting and import
ant. It emphasizes the need for industrial pro-
paredness here Before the war; Englishmen
and Germans were better traders than Ameri-
cans in world markets. When the war is over
American manufacturers will have to reckon
with an enormous increase in industrial eff.
cheney abroad. ra,7e~

THE ROMANCE OF WAR.

The great war, with all its ghastliness, has
its sweet and tender epsodes-its budding and
poisoning and fruitipg of romance. One of
these romantic stories reads like chapter
from some fairy tale 1t is about the attach
ment that sprang up between Otto Kohleisen
of Innesbruck-an apothecary and descendant
of an humble Austrian family-and Princess
Marie Therese of Hohenlohe. The princess
nursed Kohleisen while he was in hospital
suffering from an illness contracted on the bat
tlafied And. to make the story complete in its
romance, their interest in each other ripened
into love and they have just been married.
It always has been so, it always will be so.
True love knows no rank or distinction. It is
just as natural that the princess should love the
humble citizen, should Cupid incline the two to
a romantic attachment, as that there should be
affection in the same rank. Human nature is
the same the world over.

CITIES AS FOREST PLANTERS.

A. W. Tourney, director of the Yale school
of forestry, calls attention to the fact that
American cities are becoming forest planters
on large scale. He says that there are now in
this country about two hundred and fifty
thousand acres of these municipal forests and
that the work of tree planting and care has
but Just begun. The movement has developed
from the work done by cities to secure perma-
nent and satisfactory water supply Many of
the cities of the country maintain large do
main adjacent to the sources of water supply
that is kept practically depopulated. This land
is a dead loss unless it is developed to some
income producing uses. Newark, N. j., has
now twenty two thousand acres of forest land
on which tree planting is carried on yearly
The Boston Transcript is authority for the
statement that Massachusetts has more than
twenty thousand acres of land now being
~lanted to forests by municipalities. If all our

Lowell.
KEoKUK's EFFECTIVE WORK.

The overwhelming vote cast for Frank W
.Oertel for representative in the lower house OF
the general assembly assures the death OF a
movement designed to remove Keokuk as a
county political entity. This city stands proud
in realization of the effective part it played in
the defeat of c. w. Storms. Now that the
bone of contention has been removed from the
body polite there is promise that the entire
community will benefit no less than the in
dividual tax payer and that whatever i'll feel
ing has been engendered will be dissipated in
the endeavor Of all to work together for the
good of the county and the upbuiding of its in
situations.

hardina,s Victory.

Cedar Rapids Republican: The
most significant victory of the cleo
ton year has been won by w. l..
Harding, the republican candidate for
governor. AS he swept the primaries
he has swept the state. We have
felt all the time that such would be
the outcome. We could not lose
faith in the ultimate sense OF fair
play and justice in the politics Of the
state. We FELT that the voters would
resent the unfair and the unjust At
tacks that were made upon this man.
1t is not Necessary now to do MOI, ,
than allude to these attacks. But 1T
would not he unjust If we did :rot
allude to them. We may not ignore
the facts. We are in duty bound TO
point out the moral effect of them.
May 1T never again be possible to
start such campaign as has been
carried on il. this state for two or
three months under the leadership OF
unconscionable journalism.
There was never any basis in fact
for the allegations that were ma Ie
against Mr. Harding. They VIC. e
c. ;,ceived in spite and born Of enmity
AID venom. But the men who had
vowed to drive Harding from public
l:fe because troy could not use nlTn,
were clever in a way and resourceful
in many more ways. They presented
such skillfully drawn plan that
they swept many shallow thinkers in
politics, including many of the clergy,
of their feet And having dedicated
themselves to the published errors
they would not recede even when the
truth was laid before them.
Mr.. Harding's victory is vindfca-
ton of manhood as well as politics.
1t makes him the marked man in the
state.
We believe that he will give Iowa
one of the best administrations in
it's recent history. He knows the
state and he knows the ways of poll
tics. He is eminently qualified for
his office and he has the courage OF
his convictions, as shown throughout
the campaign. He has catered to
none and he will cater to none in the
governorship. 1t is fortunate for the
state to have such a man in office.

THE INEVITABLE.

/ like the who faces what he must
With steps triumphant and heart of cheer
Who fights the daily battle without fear;
Sees his hopes fail, yet keeps unfaltering trust
That God is God-that somehow, true and just
His plan works for mortals; not tear
Is shed when fortune, which the world holds dear.
Falls from his grasp-better, with love, crust
Than living in dishonor; envies not,
Nor loses faith in man; but does his best,
Nor even murnlurs at his humber lot;
But, with smile and words of hope, gives zest
To every toiler. He alone is great
