Only One Athens Now.

There is and has been for many cen
turtles only one Athens. But antiquity
knew no fewer than nine cities CT
towns Of that name in various parts OF
Greece, and even in the time of Pl:iu-
tus it was sometimes felt necessary to
distinguish the great one as Attic
Athens" 1t was natural that Greek
cities should take their name from
Athena, the goddess Of wisdom. war
like prowess and skill in the arts of
life. who. according to some legends.
herself founded the City of the Violent
Crown. Others ascribed the naming
Of the city to Theseus or other myth
cal kings. The IS" Of the termination
is real plural, for the. city was given
a plural name (Athenai}, as being made
up of several constituent parts.-Lon.

Cllanccd His Mind,

When Charles b. Towns, author of
Habits That Handicap" first began
his practice in curing drug victims he
had great difficulty in securing patients
in order to prove the efficacy of his
cure. His claim to have discovered q
cure for drugs was reverberating
through the New York underworld;
but. though speculation was lively,
volunteers were timid Finally, not
knowing what else to do. Towns az
tuaily kidnapped Il race track tout and
put him through the treatment against
his Will ''When get out Of here and
tell the boys what you've been doing
TO me-" threatened the tout. your life
won't he worth 20 cents They'll croak
you in Il minute" But five days later
the tout told his friends quite another
story. He sent. not gun men to kill.
but confidence men to be healed. four

with the underworld as much by his
courage as by his skill.

Reading for the. Soldiers.

"Clip as we'll as knit" is the re-
quest of the army men for the SOL
der boys Anything in the way Of
newspaper clippings, Or still better,
whole sasn @ or masi IL the
camps, particularly in France.
Nothing would do homesick sol
der any more good than to be made
a regular recipient OF ais home news
paper. If you can't afford to sub
scribe for him roll up back numbers
of the paper and send to. him. If
you did feel like putting him on the
list, he would bless you.
Much is said about the need for
keeping our soldier boys away from
the temptations of army life. One OF
the greatest causes Of vice is an un-
occupied mind II the army lines are
we'll supplied with tents where there
is plenty of interesting reading mat
pleasantly filled. The fellow who is
.Quietly reading the home paper or
an American magazine is not chasing
around the outskirts of the camp
looking for trouble.
There isn't any possibility of get
ting too much Of this stuff. The home
paper will be read by soldiers who
come from many miles distant and
know nothing of the place where it
is published. But anything Ameri-
can will look good to them, Our
popular magazines will be thumbed
over until they are reduced to rags.
Arrangements will be made Tor
forwarding to the soldiers large
quantities of old magazines and
newspapers. Let us all begin now to
save this material. 1t will all be
needed. 1t will take but few mo-
ments of time and a bit OF postage to
get it on the way Let us not be-
grudge this bit OF friendly co-cpera-
ton with out boys, who are giving
so much to their country, and VINO
need ali the good cheer that the
home folks can send them.

Courtino In Spain,

In sunny Spain etiquette is so very
restrictive in the matter of courtship
that it is wonder that young people
ever manage to get married at all.
Even when, after many difficulties. the
engagement is accomplished, the par
ents have a deciding voice in fixing
the date. and. as they prefer long en-
gagements, the wedding day is usually
fixed somewhere in the dim future.
The best man and maid of honor are
expected not only to fulfill the usual
duties, but to ontribute-sometimes
very substantially-to the expenses Of
the wedding feast Wedding cake is
unknown. but instead packets Of sugar
ed almonds are distributed among the
guests and sent by post to those who
re unable to be present Kansas CITY

IoWA's SPECIALITY

Ten or twelve years ago certain
railroad was pushing the sale of land
; in eastern Colorado, an enterprise en-
tiraly right and worthy, and one which
; resulted in delivering large acreage
of more or less unproductive land to
/ cultivation and increased usefulness.
! The agents claimed wonderful posi-
bilities in the way of corn growing
for the boundless reaches of sandy
plain lying east of the Rockies, claims
which seem not to have materialize;l
up to the present time.
Last year, according to the govern
ment figures, Colorado produced 1852
coo bushels Of corn. A very respecta-
bic crib full, worth, at present prices
not less than $10,C00,00O. But mag
niicent as it may appeal to the native
son of the Centennial State it wouldn't
Impress an Iowa corn grower very
extensively when he remembers that
single counties in his own state some
. times husk and crib as much or more
than was harvested in the entire state
o. Colorado.
Plymouth's county's contribution to
the Iowa corn crib last year was T.
4SS,O00 bushels; Woodbury. county
was right there or Whereabouts with
100000 bushels. Pottawattanie
cribhed 6,e3333, 600 bushels; Crawford
county picked 100000 bushels, Kos
suth 6,253o00 bushels, etc, etc. Those
five counties produced "a, 554 900 bush
els OF corn last year, more than the
combined crops of Colorado, Califor-
ada, Utah, Wyoming, New Mexico
Arizona, Montana and North Dakot
with half dozen of the New England
