"THE fuTURtTr"

! Wien the Futurity" is mentioned
| the thought is of a race course
and field of thoroughbreds racing
for a huge purse and heavy wagers or
of whirling sulkies and cheering
! crowds urging on horses that have
| been bred and trained to make a
sporting holiday. But the Futurity''
in Iowa means a different spectacle.
| For the Futurity entry in Iowa is a
draft horse, a toiier. a useful animal,
meant to haul great loads of indus
, trial products in and out, to turn over
| acres of black Iowa soil before a
gang pillow or smooth it into seed
bed before four section harrow. And
200 entries are listed in the national
draft horse breeders futurity to be
contested at the Iowa state fair.
/ Know what futurity is? Well the
i entry is made on breeding. The COM
ing foal is entered before it is born IN
a contest to take place when il has
arrived at a competitive age. The
owner stakes his entrance fee on the
breeding Of his foai it is question OF
selection of parentage, purely a breed
ing question supplemented by hand
ling and training, the production Of a
type. So the thoroughbred racing
horse is produced by study Of strains
that run back true for a hundred or
hundreds of years and the per-
formances Of individuals. Thus also
is the draft futurity entry to be pro-
duced
This draft futurity appeals to the
practical man as strongly as the
ing breeder The game is as absorb
ing and as interesting. 1t has some
thing better in it than mere amuse-
ment and the anxieties of betting men
II is the difference between success
full farmer or business man and pro-
fessional billiard player. 1t gets down
velopulent. We could get along nicely
If another racing animal were never to
be produced; but we need the draft
horse every hour of the day.
Same with folks We are breeding
them the same way for the different
futurities Of life, as sporting propo-
sitions and for usefulness Which
fururity are you looking forward to?

BASEBALL.

Baseball is a popular pastime which
Is played with the hands and feet, and
sometimes with the head. a great
many players remain in the big
! leagues year after year without dis
| playing anything that looks like a
| head, but this is because they are good
for II home run with the bases allied
once in every four weeks.
When baseball was first introduc cd
1t was played for fun. but OF recent
years itqhas' become commercialized
like a motor truck factory. This pros
cess has gone so far as to make 1t inn
possible for the home player to get on
the team until he has graduated from
some fresh-water college with the aid
of low-breaking spit ball The good
old days when nobody played Tor
money and everybody called the play
ers by their first names are gone and
along with them the neat nankeen uni
forms which mother used to make.
Now every burg of $500 inhabitants
which doesn't boast a minor league
team, composed OF entire strangers
supported by the free will offerings of
the business section. is considered a
fit subject for the Smithsonian Insti-
tute. Old fashioned patrons who would
rather see nine husky home boys wal
lop the champions from the county
seat are. invited to retire to the far
distant rear and be seated, but when
the annual hair-raising deficit begins
to stick up over the horizon they are
allowed to contribute and no questions
asked. '.'.
Baseball. as at present constituted,
is very remunerative to the players,
who draw salaries that would make
the president OF country bank-look
like the first raise in penny-ante
game. In the spring the players are
taken in Pullman cars to some solltf

somely engraved invitation from Sears.
Roebuck & Co. this week to visit their
Chicago plant and be their guests at a
luncheon on June Is. At that time the
National Editorial Association meets
in Chicago and they undoubtedly are
sending out these invitations to every
newspaper in the vicinity Of Chicago.
and yet we have some merchants that
say it does not pay to advertise and

matter is fresh in our minds the
thought comes to US just how many
people who advocate the trade at

they preach. How many, people buy

THE POS1MASIERS.

Consider the postmaster He is in
town. Wearing mis- good clothes and
his best smile. When an Iowa post
master OF the period puts on his best
clothes there isn't any outward and
perceptible difference between him and
a millionaire except that the postmas-
ter spends more money: and the smile
81 al Iowa postmaster ct its best is a
revelation of the possibilities Of per-
sonal at1ractiveness that reside in the
human countenance. Few men who
have not learned to smile get postof-
fees. To-day and tomorrow the post
masterial smile will be seen at It's best.
For the postmasters have dropped for
a couple of days the strenuous toll
and infinite responsibilities that weigh
them down six days in the week and
part Of Sunday to meet together to
talk over and take their ease in their
inn. Marshalltown greets them with
a smile Of welcome. Ii likes the post
masters and hopes the postmasters will
continue TO like Marshalltown.
This Is the new postmaster who
comes 10 Marshalltown, the evolution
from the old time postmaster as the
velopment from the ancient postal SER
vice. There was a time within the
memory Of men little pas, middle age
when the farmer drove five miles for
his mail, when the city residents
lined up at the window and
waited for the old postmaster
to sort and distribute when the stage
on the star route ran every other day
and a newspaper was three days old
when 1t arrived. Just back OF thai
time was the system that collected
postage at the office where the paper
was delivered and a little way back o.
that a time when letter postage was
paid by the recipient instead OF the
sender. Those were the days of stal
routes and little country postoffices
and suspicious Of steamed letters ant
newspapers held back in order that thu

days f1tted the system. The postmaste
