Men can not acquire loyalty To \ new

feel nt home in their new surroundings
when they are attracted elsewhere by
tempting opportunities. So lhort is the
tcnwre of many that they have not even a

velop an unsocial attitude, and tn destroy
that solidarity which is essential to yocd

THE NEED AT NEWARK.

Editor Every Evening: Recent events
at Delaware Ciollege have somewhat
cleared the r and have mad. possible a
further clearing. Perhaps the immediate
need at Newark is less critical gossip, and
an honest effort to get together. There
must accompany this change of psy-
choiogy, however, the reasonable hope
that the financial stress from which th hose
who teach in the college and those VINO
administer the Agricultural Department
in it's various activities now suffer will
soon be relieved. The Board of Trustees
has already taken steps to this end, and
Others will probably soon be taken.
We have seen within few years in this
country what comes near TO being n social
revolution. For salaried persons IN many
branches il has been vertable rrvolu-
tion, for their incomes have not kept pace
with the increased cost of living Families

FARMERS GET LESS THAN HIRED
MEN?
Polk County AgricAturists Size Tn
Situation and Are Worried,

Are Iowa farm owners and opera
tors going to make any more money
after all accounts including interest
on their investments has been figur-
ed in than the farm hands who are
working for them?
There is strong likelihood that
they may not in the event the prices
being paid for corn and hogs con-
tinue to drop, according to a con-
ference of Polk county farmers held
in Dies Moines last week.
The meeting was coiled primarily
to discuss the incom tax propos-
ition for the farmers and the ques-
ton of farm management.
Both subjects are closely allied
in that the payment of the income
tax requires an accurate accounting
of farm receipts and expenditures
and furnishes basis upon which the
farmer can determine his profit or
loss.
The average farm hand, working
the year round receives about $50
a month, according to Carl Ken
nedy, county agent. Also his keep
which is considerable item of ex-
pense when figured with the years
expenditures.
The internal revenue office prob
ably will furnish one of its repre-
sentatives to aid the farmers in de-
termining what their incomes tax
shall be for the past year.

Chinaman cuts a Queer Caper.

Will Fong, Chinaman from
Monticello, was fined in Justice
Lawrence's court at Anamosa last
week and paid costs of $4.35 to
square up charge preferred against
him for intoxication. Fong was
about to become a member of the
Presbyterian church at Monticello.
He reported at the altar to be re-
ceived week ago Sunday. He sur
prised the preacher and congregat-
ion by starting a rough house. He
tipped over the, altar, broke a rail-
ing and had things going at a merry
clip until the city marshal was call
ed. Some thought that Fong was in
spired, others that he was getting

rid of devils, and few had a notion
that he was afflicted with oldfashion-
ed spirits-the kind that are passed
in bottle these days at SIS a pint.
After being placed in custody Fong
was brought to Anamosa to be ex-
amined before the Commissioners of
insanity. At the county Jail he was
taken sick and soon he was rid of
some of the spirits. His arrest on an
intoxication charge followed. After
paying the costs he returned to his
tub and irons at Monticello.-Ana-
