THOSE APPOINTMENTS.

president Of the Iowa federation Of
labor 10 The board Of control seems lack
ing only the official announcement Re-
earding the place as payment for ser
vices rendered during the campaign
which resulted in the governors IA
vor Mr.. Strict earned the appointment.
He was very active in union circles
and elsewhere in favor of Mr.. Har
din's candidacy.
Judge Mullans friends, a contingent
Of whom from Waterloo were appeal
ing to the governor for the appoint
ment of the Waterloo judge to succeed
Judge Deemer, met Disappointment yes
terday. The announcement was made
that the north half of the state would

million and Judge Stevens Stevens, -
il admitted. would! have the inside
track We're it not that he was but re-
Gently appointed as a district Judge
by the governor and that an appoint
ment to the supreme bench coming 80
quickly after his elevation to the minor
judiciary would look like a drag in by
the hair OF the head 1t is now pre-
dicted that the supreme judge appoint
ment Will be delayed until the pro-
posal to add another judge to the SUI
preme bench Is approved or denied. II
approved 1t will offer wider opportun-
ity 70 satisfy claims of importunate
friends. 1t will also give the bench
three supreme judges chosen by Gov
ernor Harding and those who have his
ear and are his closest advisers. II
event of the death Of any one Of the
present judges the supreme court
would hold a majority Of appointees by
the present governor
The appointment Of Messenger to
head the banking department will meet
a fight. II sent 70 the senate. There
Is apparent much opposition to the
confirmation of a private banker to the
head Of a department which had as
one the incentives to its creation the
regulation of private banks.

OF course, the plea will be set up
that the granting Of 800 a month to
Mrs Funston would establish pre-
cedent" and lead to the appropriation
of similar sums for others. What II II
does? The nation can afford to recog-
nize such services as those performed
by Gen. Funston. Men OF this stamp
are not so numerous as to create an
overwhelming honor roll.
II the house must economic. let II
economize in something else than
gratitude and decency. Heartless ne
slect Of the moral obligations imposed
upon a nation by the unselish and in
valuable services OF Its heroic men is
extravagance and not economy. 1t
serves to check and diminish the
greatest asset of the natlon--the valor
and devotion OF It's protectors. Would
Fred Funston have worked himself to
death Il he had been put on notice
that congress would deny his family
pittance sufficient for their livelihood!

THE COUCH DROP.

The cough drop is q vest pocket rem
edy which enables man to live IN
peace and harmony with his neck.
The human neck, as usually con-
structed, Is an intricate piece Of mech
anism and is harder to keep up than
Ia 1910 touring car. Owing to q pecu-
liar habit which so many people have
of opening their mouths in the form OF
the top Of a Kerosene barrel when en-
gagged in conversation, there Is nothing
to prevent the influenza microbe from
entering noiselessly and settling on the
neck in menacing attitude. This re-
suits in cough which starts from the
shoe tops and let's 60 with snort like
a shepherd dog with the quinsy.
Our forefathers used to try to cure a
cough with applications OF turpentine
mustard, salt pork and onions, but as
this left the patient in an exhausted
and highly perfumed state, somebody
got up the astringent cough drop,
which could be applied internally and
not bite the outside Of the neck. De-
spite the fact that this Is one OF the
noblest inventions that ever different
lated man from the brute nothing has
ever been done to perpetuate the mem
DRY Of the inventor, while the man who
invents new way to spend money
without earning 1t Ia hung all over with
floral chaplets and bronze medals.
The cough drop can be carried In the
same pocket which holds the aromatic
Glove, and usually Is. For the benign
purposes for which the Glove is so adj
mirably fitted the commercial cough
drop Is a pleasing substitute. Many a

THIS YEARS FARM LAYOUT.

With the coming of the spring and
planting season one of the best and
most businesslike things a farmer and
| landowner can do is to look over the
| field and figure out crops that will pay
| the most money. 1t will be pretty hard
to escape a paying crop next year, tho
a general warning is being issued by
| agricultural experts against putting all
| the eggs into the potato basket.
Corn is always good crop in Iowa
because Of its certainty and the yield.
1t is high in price and likely to stay
high for another year. If it is low on
the market it is feedable to advantage.
Corn is Iowa's main crop its best pay
ing crop when it is joined to hog and
cattle industries.
But Iowa has been raising good
wheat and large Yields of it and wheat
is to be high. II can not fail TO be o.
good price. Wheat is one Of the crops
that rarely offers a large surplus. And
liz is short. so short abroad that the
British government has offered freight
rates Of 90 cents a bushel for ocean
transportation. Of course the block
ade has something TO do with this but
wheat is short and seriously so all over
the world. The reserves are but 9S,-
100000 bushels as against 24l,00o,000
last year and not more than half of
that available for export according to
a crop expert Last years crop was
90000.000 below the five year average.
Corn was a little under the average
yield. Today it is stated on expert au-
thority that the farm reserve is about
5000, 600 bushels as against last
years 1.l3$, 900. 900 bushels.
Corn is short as compared with other
years. Wheat is short. The crop was
% per cent short all over the world
Potatoes were short at least one third
the crop.
Some facts as TO the world markets
are excellent basis for the farm lay
out this year. The department of ag-
riculture is an excellent correspondent
for the farmer at the beginning Of a
crop season.

Billy Bunny and His Friends

At last Billy found carrot in his
pocket.
"Thatll DO" said the ferryboat man.
So or they started. The Goat climbed
up on the bicycle seat and began to
pedal away This turned the paddle
wheel, and the little rowboat went
along at q great rate.
n made this sszTySoat myself" sx-
planned tho Goat. II used to ride
bicycle, but when the tires busted and
the wheels wore out put the old thing
in the middle of my rowboat and fast

GRADE CROSSINGS.
TDeS MoineS Register, |

There are two patent reasons why
Iowa should be aroused over grade
crossings. The state is compa catively
level and grade crossings cannot be
wholly dispensed with. The state has
have more automobiles in proportion 10
population than any other state.
Given grade crossings and great
number of automobiles and only the
utmost precaution can prevent the
combination from being more deadly
than war.
The railroads for reasons readily I'M
derstood are more anxious to safeguard
grade crossings than anybody else, Tor
no matter how careless the automobile
driver, every accident at a crossing is
charged up to the railroad. and Only in
rare instances is liability escaped. 1t
is an extreme case of negligence that
does not call for contribution from
the railroad.
Last year thirty-five people were
killed in Iowa. and los We're injured at
crossings, so per cent OF the total being
accidents. This year the
number will be increased for autono-
biles are more numerous and just as
carelessly driven. while more trains
will be run gu the railroads.
Just what the answer is perhaps no.

on automobile drivers and everybody

Whatever the Legislature can do
should be done. Wherever grade cross
ings can be eliminated the change
should be made. The railroads are
carrying on campaign Of educa-
ton OF their own. and are co cooperating
in every way suggested to make the
danger OF collision at crossings less.
But with all that may be done we shall
continue to have grade crossing acci-
dents until automobile drivers are edu-
