BEING A MAN. POLITICALLY,

When newspapers like the Des Moines Reg
lister, the Council Bluffs Nonpareil and
the Marshalltown Republican start
out on campaign to corral the majority vote
of political party in such a state as Iowa,
with it's low percentage of illiteracy, the prints
90 up against stone wall of intelligence in
which they are unable to encompass even fly
by night difference. These papers die hard,
politically, but once they see the trend of senti
ment they come out in the open and stholler'
as the best Waiting to see which way the cat
jumps may satisfy some, but Being Man is a
darned sight better.

NATIONAL. BUDGET DEMANDED.

Public sentiment demands that congress
adopt a national budget plan. The United
States is the only great country that attempts
to do business without knowing something
about the outlook for raising money before
making plans to spend it. No private business
could survive if administered in the reckless
wav that is tolerated at Washington. Mr.. Taft,
when president, did his best to secure the adop-
ton of a scientific budget plan, but no progress
in this direction has been made since. Some
dav the government may waken to the wisdom
of Mr.. Taft's proposal and conduct its business
affairs as it should.

CRYSTAL SPRINGS FLORIDA
LANDS ARE ATTRACTING
BUYERS FROM ALL States
Wonderful Soil, Beautiful Climate,
and Natural Resources Together
With Rapid Progress of Colony De-
velOpcments are drawing people
from Many States.

Crystal Springs is not just q
project. Homeseekers are focbing
ahere and growing splendid crops.
To farmers residing in Ohio, Michigan
md other northern states, where they
only get an average of about $50 per
acre return each year from their high
priced farm land, the average of 5000
per acre under cultivation in Hills
borouge and Pasco counties in Florida
will be an eye-opener. If you will
get your neighbor to compare the
amount he has invested in his north
ern farm, with the relatively smaller
amount necessary to purchase an
equal acreage of this choice Crystal
Springs land and put the same in an
equally good state of cultivation
then figure the relative income-you
may be sure that if he has an eye
for business he is going to straight
way convert at least q portion if his
capital into Crystal Springs land
while he can get location close to
town, and get the present low price
of S24 an acre.
There is so much to be told about
the work being done to develope this
colony, its location and advantages,
that you will do we'll to write for
further information to Dept. S-of
The Cooperative Homestead Co., 232
Nasty Building, Toledo, Ohio. This
will not place you under the least
obligation.

courts as are privileged to grant APP
plicaticns for naturalization will be
qualified to certify to identity of pass

wolves frequent trips to Europe may
have their passports renewed instead
of obtaining new passports for every

FARMING EXPERT WARNS
AGAINST BAD OATS SEED

Farmers preparing for crops of
oats this season should give atten-
tion now to instructions being sent
out by State Agricultural Agent Van
Alta. Tests which have been made
show that seed oats in Hamilton
county are of very low quality. They
indicate that only rs per cent of the
late thrashed oats stands chance of
growing.
The average loss in oat crops from
smut alone is 4 per cent. This is the
record for sixteen years back. The
loss in Hamilton County is very con-
siderable. Ninety per cent of such
loss can he avoided, Agent Van Alta
says by treating oats with formalde-
hyde, single pint Of which, costing
80 cents mixed with forty gallons of
water, is sufficient for treating fifty
bushels Of grain.
This solution is to he sprinkled over
the grain and thoroughly mixed.
