CLEAN AND COOL MILK

Clean and pure milk is the best food for young children and is a great food for all. Dir ty milk is a poison. Let every body learn to have clean milk. It means clean udders of cows, clean hands of milkers, sanitary milk pails, and pails scalded after every use, and clean cool places for keeping. Why not set the cans of strained milk in bigger can or tubs of water in a shady place or in an ice less refrigerator?

UAC' oCelOSTdpHlC nelp, ana other necessaries; the govern ment contributed S120O a year, the business men of Davenport dug up an even larger sum, and the farmers of Scott county yielded $124.19. With a favor ing wind their moans could be heard for miles.
 Cheered by the results, we induced a kindly millionaire with a penchant for agriculture to guarantee the payment of any deficit that might be in- cured, and launched the Scott County Farm Improvement League upon a chilly world. Then we bought a secondhand car and tank of gasoline, hir- ed a solemn young man from Ames, and we were ready for business.
 Our success was not exactly lHlinedlate.A e.Although the young man from Ames can tell from looking at a rolled oat whether It was planted with drill or a shotgun, and is equally profi- clent in other directions, he was at first the object of con- siderable suspicion. Some far mers met him on the wrong side of the front gate, with their hands on their Ingersolls, and some of them shooed thier stock ln the barn when the sec ond-hand car hove in sight. His advice was as welcome as case of smallpox and was fol- lowed as literally as the ten commandments. And when he insisted there was better meth ods of testing seed corn than by looking as it wisely through a pair of ten-cent specs; that cholrea serum was notinVented by black-hearted confidence men to separate the farmer from his loose change; that al- talfa will grow in Scott county, and that sprayed trees yield better fruit-he was locked up as hopeless and dangerous lunatic.
 Two years elapsed.
 Tested corn came up, and untested corn did not; serum treated hogs lived and untreat- ed hogs died sprayed orchards bore fruit, and unsprayed or chards did not; alfalfa grew and thrived, and returned big yields. The farmers began to smile upon the young man from Ames. Some gave him butter milk. A few invited him to SUD- per. The live bank president began to believe some of his own agricultural predictions. The secretary of the organiza- ton began to hope. And the farmer began to give up mon- ey.
 Another year slipped by.
 The secondhand car and the young man from Ames are well come guests on every farm. The live bank president is known as the farmers friend. and his rural deposits make him blush. The secretary of this organization calls the far mers by their first names, and hopes one of them will some day join the Commercial Club. The government still produces Sl2O0 a year, the business men still dig up even more, but the farmers-God bless them-are parting with about a thousand. The sun shines, the birds sings. the corn grows as thick as clo- yer, the hogs die of old age, the alfalfa is cut twice a week, the groan with the weight of sanitary, sprayed fruit, and the Scott County Farm Im- provement League is consider ed to be the best ding-busted organization in the whole blam- ed world. Sincerely yours,
 IRVING c. NORWOOD.

CHINESE CASH IS GIVEN REAL
 VALUE

PEKING, July 5. Thirteen thou sand tons of Chinese copper cash, valued at 4,360,OOO yen, or about $2,- 1SO.0OO gold, was exported from Tsing Tau to Japan during the past year. certain firm in Shantung still has in stock many thousand tons of copper money, and it is estimated that at least twenty thousand tons in all have been gathered in by Chinese dealers in Shantung province since copper has become high enough in price to make it profitable to buy the coins.
 The Chinese government has a law against the exportation of the square hole copper coins which Chinese carry on strings, but this has been disregarded by Japanese dealers. The value of the copper cash varies great ly in different parts of China. One Chinese copper cent is usually worth ten copper cash. As the silver dollar is worth about 135 copper cents, it could be changed into more than l. 300 copper cash, an amount of copper far more valuable at present rates than the gold equivalent of a silver dollar. which is about 50 cents.

AMERICAN SUGAR LIN MARKET
 IN PARIS

PARIS, July ,. - Two hundred tons of American granulated sugar distri- buted daily to retail grocers in Paris, his relieved a tension that was becom- ing acute, particularly because of the importance of sugar in the French mans morning coffee.
 When the government recently in selling price of one franc 20 centimes kilogramme for sugar Equivalent to 12 cents a pound, stocks became invisible, and the retail grocers began refusing to deliver sugar. that they had bought at one franc 60 in expec- tation of further rise. The house wives and cooks parried the manoeu- vre by leaving on the grocer's coun- ter the tea, coffe and other things they had bought. In case the grocer had been bluffing, he produced the sugar rather than lose a customer.
 Now there is plenty of the grant, lated to which Paris is unaccustomed, preferring the cut Jumps, but which is gaining in favor.
 Simultaneously with the distribu- tion of granulated sugar, the authori- ties are moving against the wholesale dealers. A police ordinance requires the declaration at police headquarters of all quantities of sugar held by any person or association of persons in excess of 800 pounds; it also warns all dealers that bidding the official price, spreading of false reports about stocks and attempted combinations, pools or corners, shall be vigorously punished by fines of 500 francs mini mum and 10000 francs maximum.

ALLIED OFFENSIVE MAKES GAINS
DU TEN WOMEN ARE READY
 FUR WAR

THE HAGUE, Netherlands, July 5. The women of Holland are to be prepared for instant mobilization in case of war to keep the essential civil life of the nation going, as well as perform such service behind the lines as that of the Red Cross.
 Under the scheme now drawn up, the National Women's Council of the Netherlands is arranging for inscrip- tion offices to be opened all over the country, where all the available fe- male labor forces can be registered and classified on the card system. It Is to be left to each woman volunteer salary or not, and whether she has any objection to transferment from one place to another, while she is entirely free in her choice of the na- ture of the work. As, however, there is likely to be a superabundance of offers for certain kinds of labor the volunteer can register a second and even third selection. No wage paid is to be less than that earned by the man replaced; on the other hand, the woman so employed may in no case claim the place when the emergency is past
 The plan has the entire approval of ministers and the commander in chief of the land and sea forces, and the postoffice, railway and other authori- ties have promised their cooperation in fixing the amount and kinds of la bor that would be needed in the event of mobilization. The preparatory work of the women's regimentation is already in full swing in various cen ters of the country.

PASSENGERS ARE GUESSING AS
 TO FUTURE

There are nine persons in Cordova today who do not know just where they are going. or why. They have not even the satisfaction of knowing they are on their way; they all know where they want to go, and the desti- nations for which they started, but that they are not headed in that di- rection is because the steamship Dora was so inconsiderate as to strike a reef on her last voyage to the west ward and forced to return.
 There were nine passengers from the outside on the Dora at the time, and when the vessel was returned to this port in tow of the steamship Cor dova, they were brought along.
 Here their expenses are being paid by the Alaska Steamship Company, and they will be offered passage back to the port from which they came when the Alameda arrives, but as to continuing their journey to the west ward, none of them know anything about 1t.
 Tom Talent. local agent for the steamship company, did his best to rustic some sort of craft with which the journey could be completed, but there is nothing to be had, and the passengers in the meantime are up in the air.
 The loss of time, and if it so re- suits, the inability of several of the passengers to make the journey to the westward at this time will result in great monetary loss. but such is life on the bounding wave.
