InE JACK FROM THE BOTTOM.

The Des Moines newspapers assert
that much dissatisfactiOn exists among
Mr.. Wilson's friends in Polk county
over the manner in which he was mer-
chandized in the convention. They feel
that Mr.. W. was doublecrossed. Also it
is reported from Davenport that Scott

Havner and the manner in which Scot.
was used to the disadvantage of Will

From one Davenport paper the sugges-
ton comes that If the II. H. and H.

express the feeling in Scott.
Maybe so, maybe so; but if so what
kick has either Wilson or Scott? Will

A SACRIFICE TO NEGLECT.

In the days of the old swmmin'
hole every boy knew how TO swim.
Even though the stream near by was
small they found a deep hole and no
boy was satisfied with himself until he
could navigate across it, if only in
dog fashion" Then in those days the
old mill dams, which are no more,
furnished swimming places of breadth
and depth and the test of full men,
bership in the swimming contingent
was TO be able TO swim TO The
Stumps" or some other mark that
proved ability to stay af1oat. But
nowadays il is alarming to note how
many boys are unable to swim. The
death toll of the rivers. those narrow.
little rivers of ours in Iowa is appalling
and seems to grow greater year by
year. The percentage is greater also
because comparatively few boys go
swimmin' in these modern days.
Every town adjacent TO stream
should have a bathing beach or at
least a swimmin hole in summer. II
wouldn't cost much to hire good
swimmer for the evening hours to act
as guard and instructor. It would be
a measure of safety as of health. 1t
would cut down the fatalities that
crowd the press reports and furnish a
wholesome recreation. Why not?
And in places where no stream is
handy the Y. NJ c. A. should have a
swimming pool or lacking that the
citizens should do as Ida Grove did
make a municipal pool.
Teach Your boys and girls to swim.
It is easy because it is instructive.
At any rate tell them over and over
that there is no need of drowning in
Iowa whether they know how TO
swim or not: that the veriest novice
can not sink if he will keep his hands
below water and keep them moving.
The death toll of the Iowa rivers is
a sacrifice to neglect TO ignorance.

THE DOG DAYS.

The dog days are a period which is
given to the human race every sum
mer in order that man may have a
foretaste of what is in store for the
sinner. This period continues for forty
days and nights, starting with July 3
and ending Aug. IL. by which time
everybody is reduced to repentance and
the wearing Of sheer tissue under
clothes
The annual visitation Of the dog
days is due entirely to the action of
Sirius, the dog-star which encourages
the sun to produce more heat than at
at any other time of the year. If there
were some way to suppress Sirius by
act of congress and prevent him from
inciting the sun to murder, more peo-
pie would remain at home during July
and August, instead of cantering off
to some s30-a- day summer resort and
tdling away precious hours which
could be used in canning fruit. There
probably is some good reason why
Sirius should be allowed to bob up
the happiness and inner tubes Of inof-
fensive people, but science has never
discovered what it is.
BEFORE concerning the doG days.
however we should remember that
without them the corn crop would be
a bigger failure than the manufacture
Of shower baths in Mexico. The in
tense brand OF perpetual motion heat
produced by the sun during the dog
DAYS may be discomfiting to the man
who wears the half-inch wool union
suit winter and summer. but 1t is a
great boon to the corn crop, causing
!. to rise to the height Of eleven feet
and sprout long ears OF unshelled corn
which can be fed to the young and
ardent pig with perfect safety Last
year the SIMPLY Of dog DAYS ran short.

PLAYING BOTH SIDES.

lDes MONIES Register and Leader.1
The proceedings Of the republican
convention yesterday were evidently
designed to hold dry republicans in line
while making a bid for wet support,
and to gain as much support az pos
sible from the mud roads contingent
without entirely sacrificing self-respect.
The platform bears the earmarks OF an
attempt to handle a delicate situation
without giving offense to anyone, and
at the same time without appearing RI
diculous. The wishes of county and
district candidates, who always desire
strength near the head of the ticket,
were plainly manifest.
In the Slavery lobby discussions which
preceded the ballot on attorney general,
the one universal remark was that the
republicans should balance their ticket
by nominating q dry" The dry can
didate. Mr.. Havner. received the vote
of such wet strongholds as Scott, Clin-
ton. Clayton, Crawford and other coun-
ties.
II Mr.. Harding isn't wet" why was
it necessary to balance the ticket?
The platform indorses previous party
declarations on temperance and prohi-
bition, and declares there shall be no
backward step. The last preceding
declaration upon the subject in state
platform calls for tho maintenance Of
the mulct law. The republicans yester-
day did not indorse the repeal of the
mulct law. That would have alienated
Scott county. So the convention strad-
died. The party is making a bid for
saloon support, and nothing else can be
twisted out of the specious set of al
legged principles which passes as dec
laration in favor of temperance.
For the real sentiment of the con-
vention toward its candidate for gov
ernor, compare the descriptive phrases
used in describing him and in describ-
| ing Hughes. The following includes

BUTCH" SPA NKED HIM.
IoScrcpp Ppal

The mayor of Grand Junction. our
old and tried friend Butch Metz
gar, is getting trihe finicky and par
ticular in his old age. The other day
three young ''bloods" from San Fran
cisco were travelling thru that city
in a big Packard, and stopped at the
Dutton we'll on Main street for water.
One Of them sprang out Of the car to
the pump. dressed in exactly natures
garb and nothing else on earth but a
suit Of B. Y. DIS. In this negligee
attire the sport" was having fairly
pleasant sailing thru Iowas champion
corn weather-except that Butch
didn't like the makeup. You know
there's always somebody taking the
JOY out Of life. and Butch" is one Of
them. He came along by the we'll just
as the B. V. D. artist was STOPPING
over to drink. The place made for
mothers slipper was prominently
slanted toward the constellation of the
Great Bear. whereupon Butch" I'M
coupled and spread out his mighty
right fln, as big as that Of a sperm
whale. and with sweep as timber as
a mules leg. he landed on the pos
terror process with a sound that rever-
berated clear to Rip Van Wrinkles
Catskill couch. The front Of the B. v.
DIS went to grass, or rather rust
and upon recovery the motorist gazed
fxedly about the region to locate the
mule. In choice but forcible United
States. Butch" pointed silently to the
delinquent pants hanging over the seat
Of the car. and gave the young blood
just two flashes Of lightning to encase
himself therein-which was done. AS
the car pulled up the street the r. V.
D. wearer was heard to remark that
there were only two mean men in
Amerlca-and the mayor of Grand
Junction was both Of them. Come on.
Butch" Hain't YOU got no sympathy
at all for sufferin' humanity these
days?

BARNEY HOOKS FARM.
R1iriinEiOn HaMkeYe.

Barney Hook sold his nnety-two-
acre farm near Grundy Center for $3.50
per acre. The land is TO be used ex-
clusively for agricultural purposes. The
price Of good farm land in Iowa is still
climbing. and it may be expected to
climb, especially as long as the price
Of everything remains high, that can
be produced on the soil. There are
some people who believe that the high
point has been reached or will be
reached soon. They overlook some i'm
portant things. For Instance. that the
big cities all over the country are
growing rapidly and that many Of the
small cities are growing into big cities.
and that the small towns are enjoying
healthy growth. In short that the
trend toward the town is still under
way. The produce of the farm is
never going To be cheaper as long as
the big ma jority of the people live in
towns and cities. And when that
movement back to the soil sets in, it
will be many years before it makes
itself felt, so far as the prices OF farm
produce are concerned. There are
many who hold that Iowa land is worth
$500 per acre. and that by and by it is
going to be sold or held at that figure.
