Your Vacation.

Vacations devoted to overexertion,
debauchery or enervating travel are
liabilities. On the other hand, indo-
lence ! s not good investment. People
of sedentary habits. working under
high nervous tension. should not ex-
pect to find either pleasure or health
in complete relaxation. Good food, an
abundance of fresh air. regular sleep
and congenial company are prerequis
ties to a profitable outing. Violent ex :
ercise does not conduce to renewed vi
tality. On the contrary. it supplies the
basis for the dictum that the man who
most needs a vacation is he who has
just had one.-Peoria Transcript

tude toward public men and public
questions We shall insist Is to be held
by the clergymen?
1t is not merely question OF reli-
gion or church utilization but of con-
viction on the essentials of good gov
eminent and progress. Why this in
sistence that ministers shall be barred
Why not include deacons? Where and
whence arrives this pseudo sacro-
sanctity of practical politics, this
politicians ark Of the covenant that II
must not be touched by the hem of the
clerical garment? Why should politics
be immune to the ten commandments?

FoULING IT'S OWN NEST.


An enforced absence from the state
feed trough is a dreary prospect to edi-
tors who have formed the habit of de-
irving an important part of their sus-
tenance therefrom.-Cedar Rapids Ga
Zette.
The Gazette bases its prediction that
no republican newspaper will s. bolt
Harding on the above statement. 1t
may be that the feed trough governs
the policy of the Gazette. and that may
have prompted the suggestion. The
statement, however, is libel on news
papers in general. AS a matter of fact
newspapers derive no revenue from the
state worth mentioning. During the
last legislature Des Moines papers COM
planned that the state paid only one
third their advertising rates for the
publication OF such session laws as were
required to be printed. They actually
printed them at a loss Nine-tenths Of
the Iowa newspapers never see the
color of state money and it wouldn't
make ten cents difference in their reve-
nue. whether the state administration
was democrat or republican, wet or dry
or just spotted. a. .-
AS rule it wouldn't make any diff
ference in the policies of, newspapers
II 1t did. The newspapers which sup
port Harding will do SO without hope
Of reward at the state feed troughs.
They will support him gbeca use they are
for him as against Meredith and be-
cause Of party loyalty. Those who OPP
pose him will do SO not because of any
hope of reward. They will do so on
principle. .
incidentally the Gazette fouls it's own
nest when it makes assertions of that
character.

BARN OWL
(Aluco prstincola)

Length about seventeen inches.
Facial disk not circular as in our 9th
er owls; plumage above. pale yellow:
beneath, varying from silky white to
pale bright tawny.
Range: Resident in Mexico. in the
southern United States, and north to
New York, Ohio, Nebraska, and Cali
fornia.
Habits. and economic status: The
barn owl. often called monkey-faced
owl, is one of the most beneficial Of
the birds Of prey, since It feeds almost
exclusively on small mammals that
injure farm produce. nursery. and or.
chard stock. It hunts principally in
the open and consequently secures
such mammals az pocket gophers.
field mice, common rats, house mice,
harvest mice, kangaroo rats, and cot
ton rats. It occasionally captures .
few birds and insects. At least half
bushel of the remains Of pocket go
piers have been found in the nesting
cavity Of q pair Of these birds. Re-
membering that gopher has been
known in q short time to girdle seven
apricot trees worth 800 it is hard to
overestimate the value Of the service
of pair Of barn owls. One thousand
two hundred and forty-seven pellets
Of the barn owl collected from the
Smithsonian towers contained 800
skulls, of which 1904, or 81 per cent,
were mammals; 81, or per cent, Of
! hh!..a!s;; and 4 were Of frogs The hulk
consisted Of 1887 field mice, 65S house
mice, and 210 common rats. The birds
eaten were mainly sparrows and black
birds. This valuable owl should be
rigidly protected throughout the en-
| tire range.

THE LAZY BUFFER.


Are you acquainted with that type of
man who is always bustling about max
ing show of being busy, when in real
ity he is accomplishing nothing? He is
forever telling about what he has done
in the past and what he is just about to
do, but right at the critical moment he
is not there to deliver the goods. If
questioned, he is apt to have far away
look in his eye and begin to talk about
something else that he is suddenly re-
minded of. This type of man is fInda-
mentally lazy, and, being too lazy to
work, he soon becomes incompetent to
do anything worth while in the world.
His only hope is to make his bluff work
it again in the new job, claiming to
know all about everything and criticiZ-
ing quiet people for doing nothing.
You all know this kind of a man. Every
line of work has him. He makes it a
point to be seen frequently rushing
around, making three or four trips for
what a competent man would make one
suffice. He never loafs in public: oh,
no. He does his resting at home be-
tween his fiurrieS of imaginary bust
ness. His wife could tell you all about
that, If she would. but, poor patient
soul. she won't She knows how much
time he spends stretched out on his
back in the most comfortable place in
the house. but she will never tell. 1t is
the luck of this type of man to have a
wife willing to earn his living and to
cover up his faults from the world.

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

This talk about Wilson men bolting
Harding because Of Havner's nominal
ton for attorney general sounds too
much like the biennial howl of the
Carroll county democracy that the
county ticket is in danger of defeat,
says the Glidden Graphic. There may
be a few radical friends of the Des
Moines lawyer who will vote for Mere
dith, but there isn't going to be any
great pilgrimage of liberals from the
Harding camp. No one knows this
any better than W. L. H. himself. For,
as the jefferson Bee says, the OK
knoweth its owner, and the ass his
masters crib"
