NEW BUSINESS BLOCK.

Denison naturally feels pride i'll
the completion of the business build
ings on Broadway We understand
that both the Sibbert-Reimers and Fer
guson buildings are now ready for &C.
cupancy, and the tenants are moving
in. These two buildings would be an Or
nament to any city in the country, and
we are sure that our own people fully
appreciate the importance of these i'm
provements. IS
Denison, however. is not alone in
improvements of this character. We
noticed few days ago, when in Dun.
lap, that the First National bank of
that city has just completed and is now
occupying the new bank building
erected during last year. 1t is not
only ornamental in appearance. but is
about as complete building and as
well adapted to the banking business
as any bank building in Iowa. 1t re-
fleets great credit upon the manage
mcnt of the bank that its business war
rants such an improvement, and we
congratulate the First National bank
upon its success.

RUSSIA RETiREs FROM WAR

The latest reports indicate that Rus
STA has permanently retired from the
war. 1t seems little strange that the
nation that took the leading part in
the inception of the war and whose
activity was made the excuse by
Germany for declaring war against
the Russian nation should be the first
one to lay down and retire from the
conflict. Events prove that Russia is
no more fit for self government than
a nation made up Of so many helpless
children. While she was led by the
iron hand of the car some semblance
of respect for authority was apparent,
but as soon as the, car had abdicated
the nation became divided in factions
and began to crumble and the people
were made easy victims OF the schemes
OF the more astute German diplomat
lists.
The confusion and disorder which
has prevailed in Russia for months
was simply the result OF schemes con-
cocted by German statesmen. 1t how
ever remains to be seen whether the
benefits coming to Germany will be
of a permanent character. Unless
Germany is able to absolutely domin-
ate the Russian people and bring them
entirely under the influence OF the
Teuton government, we may expect
to see disorder and confusion in Rus.
STA for a long time to come, with the
chances that a dictator may arise who
will be able to establish himself and
pull the Russian people away from the
influence of the kaiser

cities and towns of the entire com.
munity are only the result OF united
action on the part of the business

tent to sit idly by and see their neigh

them backward instead OF forward. A
town must have cooperation which is
SO essential to business life and which
is their birthright and heritage.

L. ]. Dickinson OF Kossuth County
is now actively opening his campaign
for Congress in the big Tenth.
Mr.. Dickinson has been a resident
OF the district ever sdnce his gradua-
ton from school. Ge has assisted in
the agricultural development OF the
past few years and knows the prob
lens of the farmers in northern Iowa.
He contends that the farmer needs
pro- cotton in marketing his crop as
we'll as assistance in crop production.
Gie Is an advocate of the win the
War" policy and contends that when
the present incumbent of the Tenth
District voted against the increase OF
army and navy when war was appar-
emit, and voted against an act to detect
spies in our midst when they were
sowing seeds of discomfort in our
ranks, when he voted against the war
resolution after Germany had disre-
garded our right on land and sea for
two years. that he misrepresented the
sentiment OF his district.
Preparedness was delayed by the in
decision of men in an official capaci-
ty. Had the majority vote in con-
gress been in accord with the repre-
sentative from the Tenth District.
America would Gave been whipped, or
at least greatly handicapped, before
she began.
Dickinson contends that for the pro-
lection of our boys in the trenches our
policy should he win the War and
Win it Quick" and that an official
whose record is inconsistent with this
policy should he retired. The adop-
ton of such policy will hasten the
return Of our boys now in service and
prevent those at home from being
compelled to go.
lie believes that the public official
should pay an income tax on his sal
airy the same as any other person and
that this tax should be proportionate-
ly larger as the salary increases.
He contends that craftsmanship
should be of the constructive kind and
should consist of something more than
silent representation, an occasional
personal letter and few packages or
garden seed.
He contends that the present in
cum'bent after having held the Office
for ten years should he permitted to
retire and enjoy the fruits Of his labor
and give another citizen his place.

!ceIanders Are Intellectual.

During the crisis which has been
virtually continuous since 1874, the
people Of Iceland have acquired a
stock Of political acumen. which, aug
mented by high national intellectually
and literacy, fully qualities them for
conflict with Denmark, says writer.
iceland is among the first countries
Of the world in literacy. Few in the
island can neither read nor write, and
one author has declared that every
other man on the street is n poet.
Literature is not confined to any par
ticular class-One of the most lucid de-
scrlptions of the land ever written Is

men write poetry Of merit.

PROGRESS AND PUBLICITY

aAll, cities and towns in the course
or their municipal existence expert
ence transitions of both progress and
deterioration. Today we are at the
top, tomorrow, through one cause or
another, we are on the downward path
which spells disaster. Were it not
for publicity on the part of our indus
/ trial bodies, the cooperative and uni.
ted action OF the press, the awakening
to realization of our true condition
would be slow indeed. Publicity-the
American incentive, adds to the pres
tige and assists in the upbuilding of
any branch of human endeavor-and
to publicity alone DO we trace the
means of accomplishing the end.
III No matter how staple the project,
how meritorious the enterprise, Unless
you take the public into your conf
dence and tell them what you have,
ithey will invariably overlook the pos
sibilities which are offered. The
greatest industries Of the present gen
safatiOn had their growth and develop
amient throughout widespread publicity.
{ The popularization Of various unknown
commodities has been accomplished
through this means, while the devel-
eOpment OF cities and towns has by
the, same method been recognized as
the one accomplished fact.
On the part of some there is a
seeming tendency to belittle the &C.
of other sections and
towns, to be content to sit and watch
other developments, but to lend no
aid to the growth Of their own COM
Tnunity. This attitude is not good
citizenship, neither is it true Aneri.

srauro1Tts: is curious Iiimerul, or
stone, found only in Virginia and
North Carolina, not very valuable but
interesting on account of a legend that
attaches to it. The name is from the
Greek stauros, a cross. The stone Is
found in the form of a cross, or some
times double cross. Another name
for the stone is the "fairy stone" and
this also relates to the lenged that
the fairies living in the caves of the
mountains, on hearing the sad tidings
Of the death of Christ fashioned these
crosses as mementos of him. There
has always been some commercial de-
mand for the stones as curious and
they are worn as wa! il charms or on
chains with lockets.

Rope Maxine.

The rope industry is largely depend
ent upon Russian, Italian, American
and Manila hemp, the latter being far
more used than any other. With the
exception of Manila, all these hemps'
are of the best fiber-that is, they are
obtained from the bark of the plant.
The hemp is cut, dried, and then
stacked in bundles. Later, it Is again
spread out and exposed to dew, frost
and sun, process that rots the gums
binding the filaments. The dry inner
woody part of the stem then falls off
md, leaves the fibrous strips in con-
transportation.

vERMIN ATTRACTED BY FOOD
II No Scraps Are Around There Win
BE Little Trouble With Ants or
Reaches.

The surest way to keep house free
from ants is to leave no food lying
about on shelves or In open places,
where they can reach 1t. Ants go
where they find food. and If the food
supplies OF the household are kept in
ant-proof metal containers or in Ice
boxes, and If all foods that may hap
pen to be scattered by children or 9TH
ers Is cleaned up promptly, the ant
nuisance will be slight. Cake, bread,
sugar. meat, and like substances, are
especially attractive to the ants. and
should be kept from them.
Reaches will not frequent rooms
unless they find some available food
material, and If such materials can
be kept from living rooms and offices
or scrupulous care exercised to see
that no such material is placed in
drawers where 1t can leave an attrac-
tive oGor or fragments of food. the
roach nuisance can be largely restrict
ed to places where food necessarily
must be kept.

ty In Saxony has decreased from Ill.,
900 in 1914 to $4,000 paying members
at present, according to Il recent Ores
den dispatch to the Berliner Tage-

socialist newspapers in Germany had
increased from 61S,OO0 copies on April
