MistIetoe Superstition.

Mistletoe is in many countries not
admitted to the house before New
Years eve for fear of some dire disas-
ter. This seems relic of the re-
liglOus ban long placed upon the
Druidic plant, which by reason of its
historic connection with heathenism
has been excluded from the decoration
Of churches and from Christian sculp-
ture. 1t appears in old English &C.
clesiastical art only at Bristol cathe-
dral, where both leaf and iberry are
carved upon the remarkable tombs
which were probably designed by some
artist monk in the household of the
Berkeleys. The association of the mis-
tletoe with Christmas did not arise
until long after the Reformation.
Knowing nothing about the parasite
which is not native in Scotland, and Is
still rare there-Sir Walter Scott COM
mits terrible "hOwler" in his intro
duction to the sixth canto of Mar
mion." Describing the delights of a
medieval Christmas, he sends his
"merry men, to gather mistletoe "in
the wood" where they could not pos
sibly have found it at that period.

REFUSED TO ADMIT FAILURE
History Records Many Instances
Men Who Rose Superior to Ad-
verse Circumstances.

Failure is not pleasant word, and
it is not a safe word to use, for you
can never be sure. Many man who
has been called a failure even by his
friends has turned out to be unusu-
ally successful, as the Rev. John T.
Faris in the Christian EndeavOr
World shows by the following ex-
ample:
When Sir Henry Bessemer was a
young man he perfected a plan for
using revenue stamps that promised
to save the British government large
sums, and he was promised com.
Portable position in the employ Of the
government. Then a flaw was re-
vealed in his stamp plan, and the
easy position slipped from his grasp.
Although he had failed, he did not
lose courage. Within few years he
invented the process of making steel
that made his name famous and prov
ed of incalculable benefit to the world.
When Stephen Girard was twenty
six years old, he was the successful
from French ports TO the West Indies.
But in May, 1776, storm and fog drove
him into Delaware bay, and the Brit
ish feet prevented his escaping, He
landed at Philadelphia, captain with
out a ship, a seamen who could not
leave the land. But within two years
he was an American citizen, and with
i'm fifteen years he was the leading
shipowner in Philadelphia. Thirty-six
years later he became his country's
bank during the war of 1872, and,
when after the war only $4,000 was
subscribed to $5,000,00O loan, he
stepped into the breach and subscribed
for the rest.
Phillips Brooks first work after
graduating from Harvard college was
school-teaching. He enjoyed it and
dreamed of success; but he found that
he was not able to control the lively
boys under his charge. The Difficult.
ties grew, and he resigned his posi-
ton. The head master, when speak
ing of the successor he hoped to Sc
cure, verg ungraciously said that any
change, no matter what, could hardly
fail to be for the better. Six months
after his resignation Brooks entered
the theological seminary, and three
years later he began his career in
the pulpit that made him famous.
Failure succeeded failure in Abra-
ham Lincoln's life yet every one of
the seeming failures had its part in
making the man. When he failed
as a shopkeeper. the failure brought
out the deep-seated honesty that won
for him the confidence and the affec.
ton of those who knew him. He
thought of learning the blacksmith's
trade, and even after he had com.
mitted himself to being a lawyer he
thought he might perhaps do better
as a carpenter. Several times he was
defeated when he asked the favor of
the people at the polls, but after each
defeat he was stronger as man anu
more popular with the voters.

CORN G j ( \ ACREAGE
Above AVERAGE
Despite Late Start and Lack of Help,
Iowa Farmers Increase Acreage
Of Corn TO Considerable
Extent.
SHORTER YIELD THAN
YEAR EXPECTED
Growth of Corn On July 1 Was 90
Per Cent, Slightly Above Five
Year Average-Oats Are
Not So Promising

In spite of lack of help, a late
spring, high rental values and uncer-
tainty as to prices Iowa farmers in
creased their corn acreage this year
considerably above the average.
The total acreage of corn this
year. as reported by Frank s. Pin.
rey, agricultural statistician for the
government, in cooperation with
Charles d. Reed, director of the
weather and crop service, and Sec.
rotary A. R. Corey, of the state
board of agriculture, is 1O.2OO,O00
acres, compared with 10000 600
acres harvested last year, and g.
S00, 600 acres in 1918.
Last years total yield, however, of
49, 100000 bushels, was the largest
corn crop ever grown in the state ex-
cept in 1912 when the total yield
was 421,OOO, O0G bushels. The Pres
ent prospects are that this years
crop will total 3S5, $50, 900 bushels
The cooperative crop report just
issued gives the growing condition
on July l for corn as so per cent,
whereas the average growing con
dition the past FIVE years on July /
was a little better than "a percent
with the two backward years of
1915 and 1917 included in the five
year average.
The report states that oats, with
a condition of SO per cent July l,
promised production of 191, 1870
600 bushels, compared with 196.
$4,000 bushels harvested last year.
THE average condition OF oats
July l the past five years is about
SO per cent of normal. Thousands Of
acres of oats went into a muddy seed
bed Hot weather during the pc
Rod June Z to 16 inclusive, forced,
early oats to head too rapidly. Many
fields are short in straw, especially
in some localities in the southern
some fields can be cut with a binder.
The report states that about 40
per cent of last years wheat crop re-
rained on the farms July /. There
is much smaller acreage of winter
wheat in Iowa this year than last
and the total yield is estimated at
9,0S1, 900 bushels, compared with
16,530,000 bushels harvested last
year. Spring wheat. with growing
condition of So per cent July 1 this
year gave promise of 6,304 900
bushels, against 7,145,00O bushels
harvested last year. The forecast for
barley is for a yield OF 7,S72,000
bushels, compared with S,032,000
bushels last year.
The acreage of potatoes is 109.-
0O0 acres, compared with $4,000
year ago.

Japanese Trade Expands.

Japan is ambitious to obtain a
large share of the trade of the South
Sea islands, which is estimated at
1000, 00O,O 600 yen a year. OF this jap
anese exports amount to only ~ per
cent, but have increased rapidly since
the war. Some japanese commercial
leaders are advising that in order to
increase the sale Of japanese goods
in the South seas Japan must import
from the islands rubber, sugar, chemi-
calls, dyestuffs and spices, in which
these islands abound. President XII

At the recent centennial tea, given
by the Woman's Press Club of Indi-

of the quilts exhibited: ''The blue

pieced by maid of my grandmother's,
century ago. The quilt is not so
remarkable, but the maid was-she
lived with my grandmother for thirty
years"
Many inquiries came to the donor
to know whether any of the descend
