An Explanation.

| In Justice to the restaurant pro-
prietor with whom Mr.. Reisner, the
city engineer who is quarantined
with diphtheria was rooming, more
complete statements concerning the
situation should be made. 1t was
the suggestion of the physician, not
the restaurant proprietor, that the
patient be taken to the jail. The
suggestion was made after all other
places had failed Also, the restaur-
ant proprietor aided in telephoning
about the city for a room or va
cant house where the patient might
be installed, but failed to locate one.
Finally he said that if absolutely no
other place was available, he would
allow Mr.. Reisner to go back to his
room just for the night, but that
tie authorities would have to take
him away the next day. The prob
lem was solved by Mr.. Reisner's
thought of the Office at the electric
light plant. The restaurant proprie-
tor would have aided, had he been
able to find a vacant house, in set
ting up stove and cot for the use
of the patient.
Mr. Reisner is getting along we'll
and, will probably be out of quaran-
tine the last of the week.

A Good Start.

Burlington Hawkeye: Hamilton
county is in earnest, so far as the
matter of road improvement is con-
cerned. A good roads meeting at
Webster City was attended by more
than $50 farmers and business men,
who favor the plan Of improving
with gravel every main road leading
out of the city. The enthusiasm is
genuine, and Hamilton expects to
take a prominent place in this
regard among the counties of Iowa.
There seems to beia genuine awak-
ening at last, in most of the coun-
ties Of the state. The agitation that
has been carried on during num-
Der of years, the elaborate education
al campaign is beginning to bear
fruit; and it looks as if Iowa were
to get out OF the mud soon. There
were many who have taken a more
or less prominent part in the long
campaign, who were beginning to
lose hope and to wonder il there
were any profit in holding meetings
and repeating the old arguments,
and making the same old speeches
and adopting the same old resolu-
tons, and filling endless columns Of
the state press with good roads
dope The faint-hearted are TAX
ing new hope. They had overlooked
the Importance of keeping everlast-
ingly at it. A good thing may be
delayed, but if its friends do not lose
heart, it is sure to win in time.

A Noted Russian Coming.

Rev. William Fetler, pastor of
Dom Evangelia,' Petrograd, Rus
STA, who has been banished from his
country for preaching the Gospel of
the Son of God, will lecture at the
Baptist house of worship, Wednes-
day evening, March s, at 1880.
Mr.. Fetler is a Baptist who has
suffered for his faith, and has been
in Russian jails several times for his
loyalty to Christ. When he visited
this country several years ago, as a
delegate to the Baptist World Con-
gress, it was with prison sentence
hanging over him, and a guarantee
by responsible persons that he would
return to serve his term in Jail.
When the Gear promised liberty of
conscience and worship to dissenting
churches, houses of worship were
erected in many places, though the
government still refused to permit

With the beginning of the present
war, the edict permitting religious
liberty was withdrawn, and Mr.. Fet-
Ter was sentenced to Siberia. For
some reason this sentence was
changed to Punishment from the
country, and he was permitted to
come to the United States, though
barely escaping the hands of assas-
sins who had planned his destruc-
ton. III

IOWA LAND HAS AD-
,vANcED | IS PER Cent

Ames, March 10. O. Lloyd sof
the state school here has compiled
interesting figures in dicating that
while the price of Iowa land contip-
ues to soar and tenancy is increas-
ing, speculation in land is on the de-
crease, partially due to the war and
the stoppage. of the emigration to
Canada. n
In the ten years from 1900 to
1910 the price Of Iowa land advanc-
ed lis per cent and it is still going
up. Owners often make but three
per cent on the products of the farm
but they hold on for the increase in
values for the land itself. Tenant
farming is increasing and this is
caused by the raise in the price Of
land and Increase in the size of the
farms.
when land raises in price SO rap
idly that the rent does not near pay
the mortgage rate Of interest it is
a question whether a tenant should
attempt to buy land and pay the
large rate or remain tenant until
the two rates are more nearly equal"
In 1880 one-fourth or 25 per cent
of the Iowa farms were rented. In
1910 37.S per cent were rented
farms.
