Corn to Stay in Field.

Nevada, Ia.-With a record yield
of corn on the enormous acreage Of
Story county farms, hundreds of
thousands of bushels of the crop are
doomed to stay in the field unless
the farmers are able to get. help in
harvesting the crop. Story county
farmers are not backing up on lfbera'
prices for husking, many of them
offering as high as s cents per BUSH
ell, but there are few huskers COM
ing in. Several farmers with from
$50 to 200 acres with but one man
in the field husking tells the tale OF
the situation in Story county. Corn is
going from fifty to sixty-five bushels
per acre and is outstanding in the
field.

During the past week a machinest
has been here erecting for Public
Opinion fine new modern typeset-
ting machine, a latest model three
magazine Intertype, which was
ordered more than six months ago,
but did not arrive from the factory
at Brooklyn, New York until last
week.
1t has always been the policy Of
Public Opinion to keep abreast of
the times, and the installation of
this wonderful new machine places
this paper in class with the most
modern city offices in point of equip
ment.
The new Intertype yill replace the
Linotype which has been in use for
a good many years. 1t is three
magazine type machine setting any
desired size or face of type with
which it may be equipped, from the
very smallest to the large advertising
type, with the exception of the very
largest display sizes. The machine
carries in three magazines six differ
ent faces of type matrices, with the
top a split magazine, so that the
lower half can be easily removed
in moments time and another
magazine Of any desired sizes or
face put in its place. The magazines
regularly carried on the machine
may be instantly shifted from one to
another to change the face or size
of type used, by the single move
ment of a lever, without the neces-
sity OF the operator leaving his seat.
II may also be equipped with auxil-
iary magazines, for special sizes Of
type faces. large figures, etc.
The machine and its equipment
represents an investment of five
thousand dollars, but it has always
been the policy of Public Opinion to
employ every facility to give the
people of northeastern Iowa the

FARMER SESSION
.IOWALEGISLATURE
Agriculture Interests to be Well
Represented at Des MOines This
Winter. Gov.-Elect Kendall
Making Study of Needs
NUMBER OF FARMERS
ELECTED TO ASSEMBLY
Others Chosen Whose Interests Are
Close to Agriculture-Certa
TO Be Laws Enacted I'm Be-
half of Man Who Grows
Crops

Des Moines, a.-Agricultural
interests in Iowa will be well repre-
sented in the legislature this winter.
There are many farmer members
elected to the assembly and others
whose interests are close to those of
the farm. Hence legislation calculat.
ed to help agricultural interests is
sure of favorable consideration.
There are not few pressing prob
lens in agriculture in Iowa which
will seek legislative relief. Among
them are the problems. of markets
credits and land tenantry.
1t is probable that some of the laws
which the farmers will ask of the
coming general assembly will be
along the following lines: Long term
leasing of farm lands; long time
credits; cooperative buying and sell
ing; requiring railroads to grant
sites for cooperative elevators.
Goyernor-Elect N. e. Kendall is
known to be deyoting considerable
time to the study of essential legisla-
ton beneficial to the agricultural in-
terests. The state republican plat
form as adopted at the state con-
vention committed the party to work
along this line.
Another important matter which
may come before the next legislature
is the Industrial court law such as
Governor Allen secured in Kansas.
1t Is reported unofficially that the
Kansas governor is scheduled to
come to iowa in December to speak
ON the, Industrial court in view OF
probable legislation on this subject
coming before the Thirty-ninth gen
eral assembly. There will be con-
siderable opposition to this bill in
Iowa however. .

0BSERVANCES
The Pilgrim Fathers Who Establish
ed Thanksgiving Holiday Did
Not Have Much to be
Thankful For
THEY WE'RE SURROUNDED
BY HOSTILE BARBARIANS
They Had No Comforts and Were
Barely Able to Gather Food
Enough to Endure Rigors
of Northern Winter

The thankful spirit is something
that is not directly proportionate to
the gifts and advantages that one
has. The Pilgrim forefathers who es-
tablished the Thanksgiving holiday,
Judging by the modern point of view,
did not have much to be thankful
for. They were surrounded by hos
tile barbarians, they had laid half
their number under the cold turf
of Burial Hill, they were struggling
with an. untamed wilderness.
They had no comports, and were
barely able to gather food enough
to endure the rigors of northern
winter. Yet their psalms of lofty
cheer sounded boldly through the
echoing forests.
Modern life heaps its bounties and
comforts at the feet of the great ma
jority of people. Even struggling
ones have things that the pioneers
would call luxuries. Yet a great many
feel no sentiment of gratitude to
anyone or anything, but think they
achieved 1t all by their own efforts.
Most people who have truly sought
the guidance of God. can look back
and see where they have received far
better than they deserved, and their
lives have been blessed by heaped
up benefits they never earned or
merited.
The human heart then ought to
feel that the Thanksgiving obsery-
ance established by the fathers have
Ia meaning for every life. The gener-
Gus person will not wish to receive
all these gifts in passive unconcern,
but will want to offer heartfelt
thanks for them to the giver of all
good. Also to pass on some of these
benefits to the many sad folks who
are struggling with conditions too
hard for them, and for whom other
wise the Thanksgiving celebration
might seem a sad mockery.

Popular Actor Will Appear in De-

"Springtime in Mayo
ROMANTIC COMEDY

One of the Best Plays Mr.. O'Hara
Has Ever Appeared i'm and
Cannot Fail to Add to His
Popularity.

The announcement of the pros
pectiye visit of Fiske O'Hara, Ameri-

means of crowding the Grand opera
house to it's limit when this popular
favorite comes to town, under the
direction of Augustus Pitou Inc,
"Springtime in Mayo" is the title
of Mr.. O'Hara's new play. 1t is a
romantic comedy drama, in three
acts, written by Anna Nichols Duffy
as it's title suggests, its scenes laid
in Ireland. According to overland
reviewers, "Springtime in Mayo" is
a play with story to tell and the
skill to make it alive, a swiftly mov-
ing drama of real men and real
women, told with a swing and vigor
of expression which go the the maxi
ing of an appealing and stirring
play. The role assigned to Mr.. O'Hara
in "Springtime in Mayo is one, Of
the best in which he has ever ap-
reared and cannot fail to add great
ly to his popularity. Always a strong
feature of his performance, his ex-
ceptional tenor voice will be heard
to advantage in a number of new
songs. The scenic investiture is COM
plete in every detail while the bring
ing together of the clever supporting
company is in itself a notable
achievement

HADN'T SEEN THE

Dampness Nearly Thick Enough to

p. NJ. Too Thick to Cut.
Dear Folks:

Dear Folks:
The melancholy days are here.
Oh! quite different from the the self
same days in U. S. We have no
naples to- shed colored leaves and
frost, which by the way doesn't set
in until December, doesn't affect the
pines. But that nor the fact that
there is no prospect of snow this or
any winter does not lessen the said
state of melancholia for we haven't t
seen the sun for ten days, and it
has been just one continual rain,
drizzle, rain with few hours hard
blow and lightning to break the
monotony. The dampness is nearly
thick enough to cut and the darkness
after 4:30 p. m. and before 500 a.
n. Is too thick to cut Ashore every
thing is mud, mud, mud, mud so full
