The NEW CROP.

A high school lad on his first ex-
tended trip away from his home in
Marshalltown writes a letter home
that Illustrates what a dry town does
for the growing youth. Speaking of
the towns along the Mississippi he had
visited he says After living in Mar
shalltown one of the things I notice
most is the difference between Mar
shalltown and the towns with saloons
The saloon town st.Eks. 1t doesn',
look clean. While Lacrosse and the
upper river cities seem to be pretty
good towns they lack the class of
Marshalltown and the dry towns in
Iowa" He doesn't think he'd like to
live in a saloon town
Now it is doubtless true that the
Iowan who insists on his regular
drinks has them. He can have his
own supply in his own cellar. If he
knows the ropes and is safe" he can
find a bootlegger or a drug store per-
haps to afford him the stimulant he
Graves; we shall probably have to let
the real soak and the determined
drinker go his own way; but it works
splendidly with the boys. They miss
the saloon influence and the saloon
temptation and the saloon atmosphere.
They get so that they look on the
saloon as a low place, defilement.
And they estimate drinking as a
liability.
If we can keep the legal and illicit
saloons out of this state for few
more years most of the citizens we are
breeding to vote soon will have the
same idea as the boy who hasn't seen
a saloon for five years and is dis
gusted with it when he does see it
It shows in the new crop.

IOWA AND ,NFAN1ILE PARALYSIS.

While the epidemic Of poliomyeltis,
or infantile paralysis, which started in
Brooklyn, n. Y, has spread into
dozen other states, it is evident from
reports today that its virulenoe Is abat-
ing. This affection, largely summer
illness OF children, has not been re-
ported in Iowa this year. This state
missed it also in past years. 1t is COM
paratively a new thing. But in New
York this year the mortality has
reached 20 per cent while on its first
outbreak there in 1907 the number Of
deaths was only per cent of cases re-
ported.
Just nine years ago the word polio.
myeiitis" began to be seen in newspa-
pers. Starting in New York 1t spread
out, but not alarmingly, into the New
England states. In the two following
years infantile paralysis became grfev-
ously general in the states adjoining
Iowa on the north, west and south, but
was not seen here. Saturdays Times
Republican told Of some few cases in
Illinois, Kansas and Missouri this year.
In Kansas in 1909 the mortality from
the ailment reached 20 per cent of
ca ses.
The best prescription that can be
given parents is this: Keep your heads
Keep the children clearly. Wash the
nasal passages as often as the teeth
Keep your faith strong in prevention
Don't let the list Of symptoms a.
printed in the papers worry you over
much. Many doctors in the east II
the past week have diagnosed simple
summer, illnesses OF little ones as i:
fantile paralysis, and further examina'
tion by state health officers has proven
them in error.
But care and sanitary vigilance are

ROAD YACHTING WITH A KEo.
Cop Finds FIivvsr in Ditch and Turns
Il Over With Night Stick.


One Of the most distressing fiivver
accidents in the history of New Jersey
road yachting occurred recently when
Alfred e. De Ramp. Of Chester, n. j.,
accompanied by four friends and a
barrel of beer. fell out Of the disguised
velocipede. They were arraigned in
the Little Falls police court, where
fines aggregating SIC were imposed on
the party. The magistrate refused To
accept the filvver in payment.
Policeman Nose Horton, Of the Lit
tie Falls police department was riding
along Schumann- Heink hill when he
discovered an overturned fivver in q
ditch. The wheels were going spas
medically like the legs OF dying
roach. He looked further and found a
key Of beer, from which the nectar was
pouring. In the tall grass Mr.. De
Kamp and his four friends lay at ran
dom. apparently overcome with ennui.
Turning the flivver back on its
wheels with his night stick, the police
man brought the six exhibits to court
Mr.. DeKamp was fined $50 for auto
MODELLING without an automobile license
and his friends $3.50 apiece for dis
orderly conduct and refusing to testify
The barrel was the only one Of the ex-
hibits that the court could get any
thing out of-as one might say who
was careless enough to end a sentence
with preposition.--NewY York Herald,

MAN BEHIND THE PULPIT.

In the south part Of Delaware coun-
ty there is neighborhood called
Buck Greek. 1t is merely a farming
neighborhood. without even store to
dignity it's name. A little church is
locator at the cross roads and that
church is presided over by minister
whose middle name is Enthusiasm
At an ordinary morning service the
other Sunday 300 people were present
and the Sunday school of the church
boasts an average attendance Of 100
This is equal to the best efforts OF the
largest Manchester churches, one Sun
day with another. a'. ..
We don't know just what is re-
sponsible for this unusual condition in
a country church, but we have a sus-
picion that the man behind the pulpit
is largely to blame. Anyway, some-
body with enthusiasm, the greatest
force in modern life. is energizing the
community. The little prairie church

WORTH ALL 1T COST.
CRI1rlin zion Fla Wkeye.1

While there will be cause for re-
joicing IL We escape a war with Mex
leo. the trouble and expense Of mobll-
izing the National Guards will also be
a matter of qualification. 1t is val
liable experience for the militia of all
the states, a practical training that will
fit them for any future emergency that
may arise. 1t 1t Is great demonstra-
ton, showing what can be done and
done quickly, for the national defense.
At the same time it has revealed va
rious defects in the present organiza-
ton in many minor details, and other
items Of greater Importance. Our navy
was ready but the land forces were not.
The aviation corps was sadly deficient;
the transportation facilities were in
adequate and there were aggravating
delays in loading and starting the
troops at some points, as notably
Springfield, III. Doubtless the hospital
and ambulance, the commissory and
other departments OF the hastily o.
ganized militia will be found defective.
These drawbacks will be object lessons
which if promptly remedied by con-
gress and the war department will add
greatly to the efficiency Of the land
forces. 1t was all worth while.

POOLING THE FARMER

What fools malice will make Of men
in politics. Here is a county conven-
ton Of republicans in Appanoose coun-
ty lauding Harding and condemning
Meredith with the accusation that
Meredith had advocated $500, 100000 Of
road bonds. A lawyer probably wrote
it and Yet the constitution Of Iowa
limits the Indebtedness Of all the nine
tynine counties to a combined sum
less than one-tenth Of s500000,000
Harding himself is responsible for
the foolish break in Appanoose county
for he told the frightened farmers Of
southern Iowa that he was fighting
s100,000,000 bond issue. Nobody had
proposed such thing and if they had
done so the constitution of the state
would limit ali of the ninety-nine
counties to a combined Indebtedness of
less than half this sum. And yet Hard
ing is a lawyer.
Section 3, article II, of the constitu-
ton OF Iowa limits counties to an in
debtedness of per cent of their tax
able values. Five per cent is so mills.
The bridge levy for each county is now
about mills, the county road levles
for each county are fixed by law at
mills and the auto tax Is equivalent to
mills. Here we have 10 mills for
county roads and bridges in force
now. The limit placed upon any bond
issue by the constitution Of the state
is equivalent to what we are paying
now in every tive-year period.
If bonds We're issued to the full limit
of the constitution in every county and
extended for twenty years payable in
equal annual installments the principal
and interest could be met from an an:
nual tax levy Of 3.6 mills. Our county
road tax and auto license revenue is
more than that now. Our bridge levies
are more than that in every county.
How long, oh Lord, are crafty politi-
clans going to fool the farmers?
