Human Development.

Humanity, in its acquisition Of
knowledge, its hopes, its aspirations,
It's ideals, is in a state of steady de-
yelopment. In art, it is the personal
expression of the artist, his individ-
uality-shown not only in mere tricks
of style, but in his state of mind. his
attitude toward the world about him
which counts most in the end. And
that is why art in any form is not
Il matter only of mere copying of facts.
The line 20 be drawn is not always
easy to define, perhaps. But one may
best regard some extreme examples.
The demand for subject and realism
found strong expression in the vogue
enjoyed by the chrOmOs years ago.

made the popularity Of these color

Veterans Not Exempt From Poll Tax
Payment.

Veterans of the World War are not
exempt from poll tax, Attorney Cen
eral- Gibson stated, replying to an
inquiry from state headquarters of
The American Legion. In some
unaccountable manner the idea has
gained considerable ground among
ex-service men of the late war that
they are entitled to poll tax eXemp-
ton, and it has been reported that
several have refused to pay the tax.
1t is believed the confusion was
caused by an erroneous Interpretation
in some quarters of the property tax
exemption bill passed in the thirty
ninth General Assembly, the fact
that Civil war veterans Go not have
70 pay poll tax, and because it did
rot have to be paid by the veterans
while they were in the service. Any
veteran who does not pay his poll tax
is subject to the same penalties any
other citizens has to suffer for VIOLA
ton of the law covering poll tax pay
ment, the attorney general said

The world bestows its big prices,
both in money and in honors, for but
one thing. And. that is initiative.
What is initiative? 1t is doing
the right thing without being told.
But next to doing the right thing
without being told is to do it when
you are told once.
Next, there are those who never
Go thing until they are told twice:
such get no honors and small pay.
Next, there are those who do the
right thing only when necessity kicks
them from behind, and these get
indifference instead of honors, and a
pittance for pay. This kind spends
most of its time polishing bench
with hard-luck story.
Then still lower down in the scale
than this, we find the fellow who
will not do the right thing even
when some one goes along to show
him how, and stays to see that he
does it; he is always out of a job,
and receives the contempt he de-
serves, unless he has a rich pa, in
which case Destiny patiently awaits
around the corner with stuffed
club.

WHEN FIRE SWEEPS PRAIRIE
Man and Beast Suffer Alike Under
5listering Heat, and the Prayer
for Rain Goes Up.

Hot sunlight, winds as hot. as
shimmering heat which distorted OBJ

faded blue; and then the dull haze of
smoke which hung over the land, and

Time ceased to be measured accur-

and a red sun wading heavily through
the copper-brown sky from the east to
the west, and a moon as red which

Men rode uneasily here and there.

prairie fires and fire guards and the

Simple Wet Battery.

Perhaps the most simple wet cell
which can be made, says Experiment.
al Science Washington, is from a
copper wire previously heated in a
blue gas flame, and silver wire, both
held in running tap water. The cop

coated with film of copper oxide.
A varied effect can be produced by
separating the copper and silver wires

Thieves Steal 800 Chickens

About the meanest, most lowdown
trick we have heard of lately occurr-
ed al the Robert Gramenz farm, near
Ottreville, one night last week. Mr..
and Mrs. Gramenz had loaded 300
chickens into crates preparatory to
bringing them to market in town the
the next morning. When they got
up the next morning they found that
someone had stolen the whole bunch
during the night.
Another recent trick about as mean
is reported at Frank Fay home,
north of town. Mrs. Fay had the
misfortune to lose whole shelf full
of canned fruit, raspberries, etc.
They were stolen in the night

FORTY CENT CORN
Question Asked What Will New
Corn Sell for in December.

Wallaces' Farmer replying to a
correspondent who has asked that
journal what new corn will sell for
In December and whether he shall
contract his corn now at 40 cents
delivered at his station or wait until
December and sell for what it will
bring" advises him that the situation
as 1t stands now favors contracting
at 40 cents. 1t assumes that the cor
respondent must sell as early as
December and forecasts that corn
will sell as low as 25 to 80 cents for
a short time in that month. This is
based on the prospects of the crop.
The farm paper hrgues that the
heavy rains have prevented any
serious drouth and practically as
sured a large crop. So it advises
contracting as quoted above fore
casting that there is not much pros
pect of corn going higher in Deem
Der unless we have killing frosts in
August. 1t supports its arguments
by December futures quoted at 5S
cents on the Chicago board which it
says is the equivalent of 33 or "a
cents for new corn in south central
Iowa.
Leaving the price prediction to be
discussed and concluded between the
farm journal and the farmer him.
self, the question and its answer
show the condition of the agricul-
turalists. Less than three years ago
this editor heard a farmer refuse
$3.50 a bushel. He was holding his
sound corn for 50 or S2.10.
How shall the farmer pay war
wages and war prices that he paid
with $3.50 corn when corn sells for
10 cents. Loans and special legis-
lation may help some but we can't
lift agricultural prices by the boot
straps to any particular height. The
high farm prices of the war are
past.
This corn farmer has readjusted
or had it done for him which
amounts to the same thing. He has
reached the rock bottom. He can't
go farther.
He can't come to US. We shall
have 10 go to him. He is taking his
loss. 1t is not 10 be wondered that
re takes it hard.
Of course corn and other farrl
products which are at the low ebb
Of prices can't stay there. Twenty
FIVE cent corn or 40 cent corn is the
wide swing back of the pendulum
from the 81 limit. But the fact re-
mains that the conditions are as they
are and that the farmer who must
sell his corn for 40 cents will Won
der what he can buy with it. says

ALL MEN OF Temperament

When Walter Scott entertained at his
home the half-insane antiquary, Joseph
Ritson, was il the urbane poet or the
Unbalanced editor Of accurate texts
who was more temperamental? In
the famous quarrel between Furnlvall
and Swinburne the noted Shakes
peare scholar proved himself slightly
more erratic than even the most
temperamental poet of the Nineteenth
century. Everybody knows that Byron
got half drunk TO write Don Juan
How many realize that the great uni

was there ever more temperamental

Ants SteriIiZina Their Stores.

AS q mark of what in human beings
would be termed great intelligence, 1t
has been noticed that when storing up
seeds or grains for winter use, ants
cut out the life-germ. Since their
storehouses are under ground, this is
necessary to prevent the grain from
