Ching Up a Sure Thing

Now and then and altogether 600 often
Aotice of q suit to recover a farm traded
for a stock Of goods appears in the news
papers. The plaintiffs allegations run
about the same in all the instances. He
had a cracking good farm that he and his
wife had worked and saved to earn. Some
body came with a stock to trade that in
voiced away up, but willing to sacrifice it
on account of Ill health. ack Of adapta-
ton to merchandising, etc. Somebody
else knew the stock and the location and
said 1t was a snap. So they traded; and
q year after the farmer wants his farm
back. The stock had been marked up,
the location was bad, all kinds of things
unknown and overlooked had developed to
show that the farmer had traded his farm
for experience. And experience, measured
by a farm that represents a lifetime of
toll or an Inheritance from those who
toiled a lifetime, Is about the most ex-
pensive and unsatisfactory investment
people make.
Where there is honey there are bees.
The fool and his money and the fool and
his farm are soon parted. Other proverbs
and axioms applicable might be quoted
largely. They all come to the same point.
An low farm is not trading stock. 1t
is one of the most marketable things on
1T SldLlQtl0 PRICES. IL 1ledIS real
money in the fist. 1t is Just as good and
q blamed sight better than a bank ac-
count. If there is anything that can hap
pen to an Iowa farm nobody has discov-
cred 1t. Thieves break not through and
steal 1t. 1t never breaks like banks some
times do. 1t is there with the good living
35 days in the year and an extra day
every four years. When a man with q
good Iowa farm goes looking or listening
to a chance to trade 1t for a stock Of
goods it's time to appoint his guardian.
Some men get swelled on themselves
after having managed to pay for a farm.
They think they are wise guys. Also
they desire greatly to enter into some easy
business. different from farming. The
flow Of coin across the counters of the
merchant attracts them. 1t look easy.
Anybody can do 1t, especially a man who
has been smart enough to pay for a good
farm. Those are the people the trading
shark seeks out. He lets them do their

Mast Picked Elephant.
From the New York tribune.

Why. when and where did the ele-
plant become the trademark Of the
G. O. p? This question. ~propounded to
a number of leading republicans at a
former national convention, revealed
the fact that few had any but the most
hazy idea how OF when the emblem
came to be adopted.
Chauncey M. Depew. who IL said to
have attended every republican gather
ing since 1856. said frankly that he
didn't know but he believed the ole
plant first appeared on the stage in
the Harrison campaign Of 'S8.

was the result OF the adoption of the
tiger by Tammany. We couldn't let
them show us dust and we went right
TO their own territory, :he jungle, and
got the elephant to fight the tiger"
There appears to be evidence to sup
only the elephant but also the tiger
and he democratic donkey as well.
The caricaturist Is said to have adopt
ed the donkey In January, 1870. basing
the selection on the democratic party's

Wrist Watch Useful.

From the New York Times.
Much has been printed in European
papers on the subject OF strap watches
as Il part of military equipment. This
has attracted a good deal of attention.
since modern warfare has demonstrated
the necessity for officers and soldiers
TO now the time. The telephone and
signal service, which play important
parts in modern warfare, have made
the wearing of watches by soldiers obli-
gatory. The only practical way in which
they ear wear them Is on the wrist,
where the time can be ascertained
re~dily, an impossibility with the old
style pocket watch.
European reports how that strap
watches have been adopted for use in
the army and navy, m that civilians
are also wearing them in preference to
the pocket watch.
There have been instances during the
progress of h present var where bad
effects have resulted from the wearing
of watches. h chief danger has been
from he breaking Of the crystal, and,
when the watch was worn on the wrist.

HAY FEVER.

inc United States Hay Fever assoc
clat1on Is out with Its 43rd anniversary
report The organization is to meet on
August 81 at Bethlehem. N. H.
For more than 40 years the mem
bers Of this organization have demon
strated that hope springs eternal in the
human breast. In the report Of the
Lake Placid meeting for 1915 appear
these statements. which typify the Sit
uation:
Nearly every speaker had some pet
cure for the fever, Which he urged the
stance he was followed by another suf-
ferer who claimed to nave tried that
particular remedy and u 1t abso-
lutcly worthless. Others told harrow
ing tales OF rushing from one noun
tain resort to another in search OF re-
beat them to it,"
A cure for hay fever is nearly as
much of a will O. the wisp as it was a
generation ago. The nature of the dis
ease is not known beyond doubt. The
prevailing theory is that the hay fever
subject has become eXquisitely sensi-
1--WE to certain substances at times con-
tanned in the air, n that when these
substances come in contact with the
membranes Of the nose they cause a
local condition somewhat similar to the
condition of the skin in hives. h
condition is closely akin to that in
which the eating of certain normally
harmless foods causes hives.
The substance to which the nose is
most frequently sensitized is the pol
len of ragweed. The pollens of a large
number of other plants nay cause the
disease.
1t is recorded that a distinguished
physician of the last century could not
sleep on a feather pillow because he
a become representative to feathers.
Physicians have raver developed an
entirely satisfactory method of treat
Ing any disorder due to Representative
ness-what is known as an anaphyl-
axis.
Using vaccines Of one sort or anoth-
er. about so per cent of cures are re-
ported. These vaccines are used both
as p~reventiveS and cures. Whether used
one way or the other. 1t is doubtful if
half the people who use them are bene-
fitted materially. and certainly less than
half are permanently cured. The fall
ures are not so liable to find their way
into the statistics.
The advertised hay fever cures are
worse than useless. In olden times most
Of them contained cocaine. Few con-
tain cocaine now, but every one has
some drug which does more harm than
good in the long run.
The Hay Fever association reports on
the freedom from hay fever Of so dis
tricts. The report covers at least one
city in each section of the United
States except h far south and the Pa
ciflc slope. The statistics are not salts
