AMES CADETS
TO BE POLICE
General James Rush Lincoln Is Or
ganizing Boys to Take Place
of Iowa Soldiers

The 1915 state fair will be policed
bv student cadets from the Iowa
State college at Ames, under the
direction of Adj. Gen. Guy E. Logan,
who will be chief of the public safety
department of the exposition.
Gen. J. r. Lincoln is organizing
the force of cadets for Adj. Gen. Guy
f. Logan. Between 120 and $50 stu
dents will make up the force. 1t is
believed that sufficient numbers of
students from the state college will
volunteer for the work to fill the
entire list.
However. if the number falls short,
the cadet force at the state univer-
sity at Iowa City will be asked to
send sufficient men to fill the vacan-
cies.
The students are looking on this
state fair service as a sort of vaca-
ton, as well as an opportunity to add
a little cash to their bank account
to carry them through the college
year Every man who goes into the
force will have had at least one
wears training in handling rife.
For the past two years the state
fair has been policed by companies
of the Iowa national guard. The
guard is now in Texas and there are

Practically one-fourth of the corn
canned in the world Is put up in Iowa
and Illinois. The European countries
know very little about canned corn
and do not put it up. When Iowa
contributed large quantities of canned
corn to the Belgians in the winter OF
1914-15 they refused it, having never
heard of any such food, apparently.

IOWA BEGINS
ITS CANNING
Season is on Now and Quality OF
Goods Is Above
Normal.

The canning season is opening in
Iowa and for the coming four to SIX
weeks immense quantities of corn,
tomatoes, beans and other vegetables
will be put up by Iowa factories. Re-
;orts of factory inspectors, sent into
the state labor commissioners ONCE,
are to the effect that vegetables are
of unusually good quality this year
and the prospects are for an excel
lent canning season.
There are fifty-three canning fac
tories in Iowa which will do more
or less canning this year, the state
labor com missioner reports. In 1913
forty canning establishments put up
products valued at $1,770,212. they
employed 3,S2S people, about $500
being males and the rest females.
They paid out in wages s3o5,s14. For
materials used the valuation was ST.

of sympathy for this individual when
he lands in smash-up, for there Is
nothing to be said in extenuation OF
such idiocy. Railroads as common
carries, are denied the use of the
public highways other than for nee
essary crossing purposes. When two
railroads cross their tracks the law
insists that, as a measure of safety,
all trains must come to standstlll
before making the crossing. me
same law compels all street cars to
come to stop before crossing rail-
way track, that the men in charge
may 'fStop, Look and Listen. II
ought not to be necessary to pass
laws to compel auto drivers to oo-
serve similar measures of safety.
Common sense ought to be sufficient.

ICHAuTAuQuA At
HAMILTON CLOSES
twelfth Annual Session In Neishbor-
ing Town Ended Yesterday
Most Successful In
Years.
MANY KEoKUK PATRONS
Local PeopeI Were Numerous at the
Meetings This Year-Tickets
Issued for 1917
Gathering.
IBy a stafr Correspondent


HAMILTON, ILL.,, Aug. 1.-THE
Hamilton chautauqua closed its
twelfth annual session yesterday,
ending one of the most successful
wears OF the assembly. The manage
ment had set the advance sale of
800 tickets as the goal to insure the
1917 chautauqua and last night it was
announced that 813 tickets had been
sold, making certain a continuation of
the assembly. Keokuk was more
generous this year in it's patronage
than ever before. Sunday the special
ears and the regular cars were all
crowded with Keokuk people enroute
to the big tent. The musical attrac-
ton was Hruby Bohemian orchestra,
4 splendid organization. There are
eight in the company, all members of
one family. The father, Herr Hruby,
was Bohemian music master train
ed from his youth in professional
playing, teaching and directing. From
their very babyhOOd the father taught
his children the Interpretation of
the great masters. Born and reared
in such an environment it is small
wonder that they are finished musi-
clans. their programs were made
up of high class music, but the selec-
lions were all tuneful and pleased
those who were musical critics as
we'll as the rank and file who only
knew that the music was beautiful,
caring nothing for the technique. The
hope was expressed by many that
the next years program might In
clude this talented organization.
The lecturer for both Saturday and
Sunday afternoon was Earnest Wray
O'Neil. minister of one # The Meth
odist churches in the down town dis
trict Of Chicago. His subject Satur-
day afternoon was Some Popular
FalIacies," and on Sunday he spoke
on "Seeers OF Visions"
The theme OF Saturday was based
on lagos statement, "'Tis in our own
selves whether we are thus or thus"
Some of the fallacies upon which he
elaborated was that book learning is
not always education and wisdom
does not Always SPEAK m GfeeK and
Latin 1t is fallacy that brain can
dispense with Drawn and said that
mans first duty is to- be a healthy
animal. 1t is a fallacy to believe that
genius is gift of the gods, genius
is a result Of hard work, or as Edi-
son expresses 1t, Genius is not in
spiration but perspiration.
The theme Of Sunday was that your
physical eye reports to your brain, a
picture augmented by the vision in
your heart and spirit. a3ome people

Prefer Motoring to churehaolna.

Harrington Herald: Although the
pastors are doing their level best to
make the services attractive, and al
though faithful few are always pres
ent. and although those who do attend
derive much good from the services,
the fact remains that the outdoor I'M
ion Sunday evening meeting which
the Presbyterian and Methodist
chnr.he sEftug -fYstttd.sd IN tf1fa CRY
is not altogether a SUCCESS. The llank.
ing of the passing motor cars is con-
spicuously as louder and more insist
ent noise than the prayers and hymn
singing CT the congregation in the
grandstand.

IOWA PRODUCES
TROPICAL CROPS
Webster City Man Raises Coffee Sue
eessfuIIy in His Homo
Garden-BusheI
j Crop.
GROW TOBACCO, TOO
Many Old Timers prefer to Raise
Their Own "Weed"-cImate
All Right For Other
Products.
GROW TOBACCO, TOO

Coffee and tobacco are popularity
supposed to be products that can be
raised only in tropical climates
While Iowa's climate the last few
weeks has been almost tropical, il
usually is much cooler. However, Mr.
j. B. <Boughton, of Webster City
comes forward, with further evidence
that this is near tropical climate
He has grown coffee in large. gar.
den that he has cultivated for several
years.
After looking over his field and
carefully estimating his crop. he
thinks he will be able this fall to
harvest fully bushel of coffee
which certainly ought to place Iowa
on the map as tropical state.
And coffee raising is no experiment
in Hamilton county, either. It was
last year that Mr. Boughton first de-
cided to test this climate and soil
for coffee raising. And so he planted
small amount and raised peck.
This year he planted a larger area.
He says it Is not difficult matter to
raise coffee and can see no reason
why it can not be successfully and
extensively raised in Iowa. Accord
ing to Mr.. Boughton, the quality OF
the coffee he raises Is equal 10 that oi
the finest imported coffee.
~ Why Not Tropical Fruits?
Considerable tobacco has also been
raised near Webster City by some OF
the old timers, who prefer to cure
their own weed" If a few Cali.
sornia or Washington boosters could
be turned loose in Iowa, it is more
than likely that bananas, oranges,
pineapples and other tropical fruits
could be successfully raised on good
old Iowa soil. the like Of which can
not be found any other place on this
little old round earth. Iowa soil, Iowa
sunshine and Iowa people can not be
excelled and a combination OF the
three can raise almost anything that
can be raised anywhere.
