IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Carroll Herald: Kendall spent only
/ $1,l3I in the campaign for election
\ His expenses in the primary were
/ the lowest Of any. NOW let him run
| the state on a business basis and
wen uphold his hands while ne pro-
ceeds with the house cleaning.
GrinneIl Register: Nate Kendall
will make an ideal governor, and.
believe US, he viii make house
cleaning right OF the bat, as the
boy would say. II was wonderful
victory and now it's up to the repub-
iican party to make good.
Waukon Standard: Let US educate
ourselves against being careless IN
this matter of flag recognition 1t
cuts a soldier to the quick to see the
apparent neglect. 1t invites criti-
cism 1t signifies carelessness that
in soldiers eyes is almost crime.
Clarinda journal: The astonishing
extravaganza in the conduct Of the
world war and the variety OF league
of nations advocated by President
Wilson doubtless had more to do with
the defeat OF Cox and Roosevelt
than Qlo anything eiSe-
Storm Lake Piloa-Trfbune: 1t is
regrettable that the farmers should
be the first to suffer on account OF
manipulation of the markets, but 1t
is also quite probable that lower
prices for their products will mean
lower prices all the way round. We
are in a critical period and both
for
laboring men, are bound TO suffer
before everything is normal again.
Cedar Rapids Republican: Up to
date there have been no authentic re-
ports of any broken hearts in
Europe because the people of the
United States voted as they did. The
only hearts broken over that league
defeat are those of politicians DIT
home and they do not matter great
deal
MarshalltoEn Times-Republican
This republican administration should
start in with the understanding that
prohibition is not merely a conyic-
tho but United States law
Waterloo Times-Tribune: One ad-
vantage, so far as Senator Harding
is con cerned, is that no man or no
set of men, in his own party, can
claim that he owes his election to
him or them. The victory is such
that he can look over the field and
select for positions OF trust in the
new administration, whom he
pleases, with nobody setting up
superior claims.

out the merited laurel.
The griddle cakes were fine this
morning. Let the cook know it, even
though she is your wife. Somebody
was kind to you, served you well. Let
him know you appreciated it. The
humbliest and the highest, all like APP
prevail We hunger for the approval
of our fellows. He who sneers and
denies it, either is not wise or desn't
mean it. The opinion others enter
tain toward US is large factor in
what we become.

The golden rule has never been
more needed or more violated than
today.
Men with money don't help a town
any unless they spend some of it in
enlarging tkelr business o. improve
ments.
The two largest ranches in Texas
are owned by women. One of these
ranches consists of l,290,r00 acres
and Mrs. King is the owner.
An American teaches his children
to earn money. A German teaches
his children to save money. Gee,
what combination the two ideas of
thrift would make
We have received just one daily pa
per since last Saturday (Mondays pa
per reached us on time.) The stage
has been running regularly every day
and some mail is coming throug b,
why the papers are being held up is
a mystery we cannot solve, but we do
know we are getting a mighty rotte?
mail service.
The Wood 20 Operative Associa
tlon had a meeting at their store last
Saturday, aud while we failed to get
any official news Of the business trans
acted, we have been told that they
made an assignment of the stock to
Bert Hancock, and have retired from
the mercantile business as a corpora
tion. This is merely street gossip
and we have not had the information
confirmed. We do not know what
Mr., Hancock's intentions are. The
store is still closed at present, but
no doubt it will be reopenod some
time IN the near future.
Some years ago an Indian sold the
island on which New York City stands
to white man for S24 Of course at
that time there were no doubt many
who thought that the Indian had made
a mighty poor bargain, but some fel
low who likes to figure has figured
that if the Indian who received the
S24 had invested the money at four
per cent interest compounded quar-
terly, his descendants could now buy
the entire city with the proceeds.
All of which reminds us that "the fel
low who invented money was pretty
smart guy, but the fellow who invent
cd interest was no slouch."

HOLLAND WILL NOT GIVE UP
EX.KAISER.

The London Evening Standard says
that reliable information has been
received from the Hague to the effect
that Holland has sent note to Paris
stating that she cannot grant the Al
lied demands for the extradition OF
the Ex Kaiser because OF the fact that
it is illegal for a country to surrender
citizen of another country to third
country except on the request of the
country of which he is citizen, and
that for this reason Holland cannot
surrender the ex Kaiser to the Allies
unless such action is requested b.,
Germany.

With this issue of the PioGeer we

thankful for the business that has
been given us during our stay in

continuance of the same in the future
Since we took charge of the paper in
October 1912 We have doubled tn q
size of our office and have added prac
ticalsy all new equipment. While We
have greatly improved the plant and
the paper since first taking charge OF
The Pioneer, we have not vet reached
our ideal, and we hope yet, sometime
10 the future, to give the people of
Meilette county and Wood,a country
newspaper that will meet with our
ideal aud of which all may feel Justly
proud as representing the progress
and thrift of this rapidly developing
new agricultural empire. In the
mean time we would ask our readers
sud friends to boost the country, the
town in which you live and the Pho,

boosting for you

The reason for leap year may be
summed up as follows; julius Caesar
finding the chronology of his time in
great confusion resolved to correct it
by bringing into agreement astrono-
nical and civil time, as they differed
10y about three months That year
"a. L. G. 7OS,l was decreed to be AS
days, and somewhat later the first of
Of the year was moved from March
to January lst and the months in
same order as now. February was
however, to have 20 days and every
fourth year 30, DAYS and August 80
days. The vanity of Caesar Augustus
would not permit of his month. Aug.
ust, being one day shorter than
Julius Caesars, July, SO one day was
ordered clipped from February and
tackled onto August. This made a
year of 1861 days too great by IL
minutes l3 81 seconds: as the true
solar year is 365 days hours 4S min
utes Cos seconds. This difference
amounted TO ten days in 1852, and
then to avoid continued and ever in
creasing error the Gregorian Year
plan was adopted as now in use
This plan was to make every fourth
year Leap Year so that years divisible
by four are leap years with twenty
nine days in February except century
years when Leap Year occurs only
when divisible by four hundred.
Thus 1900 and l9l9are common years,
but 1920 and 2OOO are leap years.
