early moonlight looked down coldly on a

Erie lived in Russia, where the winters

the old man was kind, yet the two had al

FARM WIFERY.

The famous Land Army Of women who
took TO agriculture under the stress Of
war demands Is now disbanded Some f
its work was remarkable good some of it
very poor, as Is the case with most mum
dane things. But one interesting fact Is
noted This is that women seem 10 do
better wlth animals than men.

fine, high-grade expensive ock They
are willing 10 mother the Young. TO take
world Of trouble to save an ailing calf

affection for their charges than Is tho
rule with men.
And affection appears TO be an excel
lent commercial factor. Farm wlfery pays
Many girls are beginning to take courses
IN the various agricultural schools and
colleges all over the country with q real
ambition TO take up some form Of farm
ing. Advice from responsible sources
seems 10 indicate the advisablllty Of their
specializing on animal raising. Small sheep
farms fancy poultry, blooded cattle will
prove paving fields, Girls who are we'll
trained in such matters, and who have
liking for the work, can look forward to
success
BUT an important development that
may be helped by judicious advertising
and education Is the employment Of
women instead Of men ID large establish
ments that are given to the raising Of
fine breeds on a large scale.
Once the women have proved their
worth in such positions they will find it an
interesting and profitable profession.

Do YOU know how very nutritious and
cheap dried beans really are. There was
a short time in the war when they were
not cheap. But then, hardly anything was
cheap then. Now, however, they have
gone back to the place in the living scale
where they belong and we have them as
cheap, staple commodity.
OF course, the first thought of beans Is
baked beans. Here's n good recipe for
them:

of the Scotchman who had taken the
teetotal pledge. Said he from the

thing Is certain, America received 1t
from Germany. s. r. Smith In his
student days was employed by a
publisher to translate some German
songs into English. retaining the
original meter. SO that they could
be sung to the original German
tunes. Ono air which Mr. Smith
especially liked had German words
he thought unworthy the tune, so
instead of translating them, he COM
posed a hymn, my Country IT'S Of
Thee" The tune was new to him.
At that time he had never heard the
song about "Efnstrate their knavish
tricks" and confound their politics"
which has since become 80 popular
under the title, God save the King"
Thee next Fourth of July his hymn
was sung by a chorus OF children in
the Old South Church, Boston.
The origin of the air Is uncertain.
(The same Is true Of Yankee Doodle
and Dixie.) It came to America not
from England, but from Germany.
For at least two hundred years 1t
has belonged to the world. It Is tru-
ly American in the sense that
America has given 1T better words
than has any other country. It Is
ours and we propose to keep 1t.
In company with most Ameri-
cans, / admire the Irish and have
among them many worm friends.
But II our friendship for the Irish
demands we surrender our personal
and civil liberties. that we throw on
tho scrap head everything good that
is Of English origin, real or i'm
aSined, then fear our Irish friends
will be compelled to cut our &C
quaintance. II such thing should
occur, know that the un-1rish part
of America would be genuinely
sorry. but would continue existing.

AN IOWA METAMORPHOSIS.
TMuscatine Journal

Davenport is going to erect mil
lion and half dollar apartment
house this year. It will be eight
stories in height. 1928 feet wide and
152 feet in length. The structure will
include dining hall with seating
capacity for 200 persons, three
private dining rooms and bah
room. An Italian sunken garden will
adjoin the lobby.
In setting forth these facts we do
not seek to advertise Davenport but
rather to call attention to the de-
velopment of this section.
iowa communities are rapidly
making good the proud boast Of the
state. "Of all that is good, Iowa
affords the best"
1t was only yesterday that a build
ing Of the type which Davenport will
erect was considered as something Of
a revelation in housing projects in
the eastern centers Of population.
Those who were the FIRST to take up
their habitation in these neighbor-
hood hotels believed themselves to be
enjoying the acme Of comfort and
convenience. In their provincialisn
they looked upon Iowa ~ being
something OF great prairie farm,
where corn had run out the Indians.
We were expected to be just bit
hesitant about tho use Of gas, and
the only running water was believed
to coma from the windmill. Our
towns were supposed to be trading
centers for tho convenience OF the
rustic husbandrymAn. with a few
struggling Industries housed IN struc-
lures which only added TO the UNI
