n RS. EDWARD HARDING, in
Nn her book on the peony, states
WI that September Is Is the
4 u day to begin planting peonies
and Fall planting is also advocated
strongly by our best local peony
growers. The reason Is that the
peony Is more completely at rest at
that season than any other time in
the year. Very early In Spring the
old roots put forth tender feeding
roots and II these are destroyed in
transplanting, as they necessarily
must be, the plants are set back de-
cidedly. Thus as it now approaches
the first of September, the prospec-
tive peony planter should be making
up his mind as to varieties and where
to secure them.
The following list of varieties was
prepared by q peony grower Of wide
experience: White, lie Cygne, Mrs.
Frank Kelway and Kelway Glorious:

Liberal Courses In
 State University
 Attract Attention
SCHOOL OFFERS NEW SUBJECT AS EXPERIMENT; STUD
 ENTS ARE SINCERE
(By The Associated Press)

IOWA CITY. July - With watch ful eyes on the state legislature which might not understand - University of Iowa professors quiet l ly are trying to experiment in edu- cation which not long ago would l have been regarded as revolution | ary in this state
 The last two years have been such l drawings from life", and a campus course' in the curriculum. While l. these experimental courses are re- garded as sound by leading educa- tors the freedom allowed professors l in state where the constituent tax payers and parents of university students are ultra conservative is surprising Probably the most liberal of the
 
 on marriage, offered in the school of religion. This course deals frank ly with marriage problems. Pro- lessor Moses Jung, who organized the work, has enlisted the aid of experts in seven colleges and depart ments to present the subject matter Two Couples Marry Marriage is discussed from the economic, child welfare, psycholo- gical, biological, sexual, and med
 cal angles, Instructors in the class deal with specific factors in mar riage without holding out recipe for marital happiness. While professors admit the sub ject matter is. such that students might enroll ito get a kick out of t', the sincerity of the students is striking. Nearly half of those en- rolled are engaged to be married. Two couples in the class have been married since the beginning of the school year.
 The campus course" conducted by Professor Benjamin F. Sham baugh in the department of politi- cal science is an attempt by the un- iVerSity to introduce students into the entire field of human knowledge and to stimulate reading and ser ious thought
 Spurs Students to Think Professor Shambaugh, an elo- quent snowman as well as an edu- cator, introduces such broad sub jects as science, art, religion, poli- tics, and philosophy. He presents various viewpoints in each field and students write their reflections on each subject.
 Professor Shambaugh believes he has achieved what many other pro fessors have tried but few have ac- complished-getting undergraduate to think.
 The drawings from life class in the art department is unusual only because it is found in a state insti- tuition. Here art students sketch nude figures of men, women, using the same technique as taught in art academies throughout the world Models are students employed by relief funds.

Nile River Floated the
First Boat Built by Man

The Nile river in Egypt is sup
posed to have floated the first boat
ever built, according to writer in
the st. Louis Globe-Democrat. There,
5000 years before Christ, a man learn
ing to swim sat on a floating log and
padded about with his hands. The
log was the first ship. Later, perhaps
century or more, two logs were
dashed together, making the first raft
From such beginnings have come our
great ocean greyhounds.
Naturally the first navigatOrs knew
nothing of sails for their boats. In
fact, all the boats of ancient days were
nothing but huge rowboats, where tiers
of men were placed, one above the
other, with long-handled oars. Even
the Phoenicians' boats, which are
spoken of in the Bible, depended on
man power to move over the water.
These first ships were thought to be
living gods. Instead of building plain
bow as we do today on our ships.
the first mariners built a large head
upon a bow, supposed to protect the
DOdC anu the SdllOTS lives. Later lhio
head, encased in gold or bronze, was
used as battering ram to puncture
other ships The stern of the boat was
huge tail, which curved over the
back decks. No doubt when the ship
was seen in the distance it did look
like a mammoth animal crawling along
with its rows of oars for legs and
the big curved tail and head standing
high above the rest of the ship.
Believing that unless the ship had
eyes it would become lost, the ancients
also painted eyes on each side Of the
bow. And, strange as it may seem,
we still have eyes on our ships in the
form of hawse holes for the anchor
cables.

Buffalo a Busy Port.

Buffalo is busy gateway to the
Great Lakes region. Protected from
early traffic competition by the Niagara
falls, which were later to furnish its
light and power, this rich inland port
stands at the east end of the upper
lakes and the west end of the only
convenient break in the Appalachians.
Had an Indian interpreter not made a
mistake, it would have been called
Beaver" startling but suitable name
for this busy creek-side port.
A dozen railways now obscure the
fact that Buffalo is not a creature of
the plains but an aquatic city, founded
on the creek that still sustains it. Its
real greatness began on October 20,
1925, when the Seneca Chief started
down the 4-foot-deep Erie canal.
On June %, 1888, at Chicago, salt
water from the Gulf of Mexico was
blended with Lake Michigan water
when a flotilla of Mississippi river
barges, bearing spices, coffee, and su-
gar, arrived at Lake Michigan.
The 9-foot channel does today what
river and glacier did more than once
in the past-links the Great Lakes with
the Gulf. 1t took 26O years for Jo-
way to come true.
Four routes to tidewater now exist:
the Illinois waterway, with a 9-foot
channel; the New York State Barge
canal and its branch to Oswego, both
with depth of II feet; and the st.
Lawrence canals, in which there are
IA feet of water. The deepest artificial
link is the new Welland canal, which
not only has 80 feet of water on the
stills of its spectacular locks, but also
accomplishes the steepest lift-326h
feet in Is miles. While retaining its
pre-emlnence in the transfer of grain,
Buffalo has since become our milling
metropolis.
In October, 1889, when the brig Os-
ceola brought 1,67S bushels of wheat
from Chicago to Buffalo, it took sew
en- days to unload the cargo. Buffalo's
20 elevators could now unload that
much wheat In less than nine seconds.
Yet, were they empty, it would take
eight eight-hour days to fill them to
their capacity of 50,O00,00O bushels
Bulk wheat rides from the head of
Lake Superior to the foot of Lake Erie
for about three cents bushel. But
flour can't be handled in bulk like so
much ore or limestone, and, as a con-
sequence, milling has moved east to a
center within 500 miles of which lives
so per cent of our population.

CHAPTER l

Kentucky Jones, Independent live
stock trader, plunger in cattle, whirled
his light roadster into the main street
of the little COW town of Waterman.
and picked himself a parking place.
Waterman was very full of people,
for Tuesday afternoon. Generally at
this time of year the Wolf Bench cow
men were only to be found scattered
among the white-faces that perpetually
lost themselves in the overpowering
raggedneSs of the rimrock, or haying
winter-weakened cows in the long pole
corrals. Today, though, either side of
the street was lined with cars for three
blocks; and between the automobiles
stood saddled horses, detected in the
wet downpress of the snow.
Wolf Bench was not home range to
Kentucky Jones; but six months in the
rimrock had acquainted him with most
of its people. He stepped out into the
snow, tall, leanly lazy figure. his or
dinarily humorous face relaxed in an
unaccustomed gravity. 1t was a rocky
face, made irregular by the uneven line
of a nose that had been broken; but
no one in the rimrock had ever seen it
so austerely somber as it was now. as
he turned into the restaurant known
to all cowboys as the Greasy Spoon.
AS ne entered. however. his face
lightened somewhat He kissed the girl
at the counter absent-mindedly, and
helped himself to wedge of pie.
where's the inquest going to be?" he
asked.
They're having it in the hall over
Kerry's store. 1t started nearly half
an hour ago. They"
GOOD Lord" He hurriedly pushed
the pie wedge into the girls hands.
"Save this" He took to the street
again at the trot.
Kerry's store itself was appropriate
ly closed, but the hall above was full
to overlooking. Here inquest was being
held over the body of John Mason.
1t was hard to believe that John
Mason was dead, his name had so long
represented unassailable strength in
the Wolf Bench rimrock. That he was

an index but not the key to his sig
nificance. He had been a cowman once :;
and up to the very end he had thought
as a cowman, never losing touch with
the farthest corners of the Wolf Bench
range. He had been in the saddle on
one of his long circuits of the range
in the hour that he died. His common
understanding of both cows and money
had made him more than the kingpin
of Wolf Bench finance; almost he was
the economic structure itself.
Through the hard times which low
beef prices had brought to Wolf Bench,
Mason had managed to carry along
many a weakened outfit where a nerv-
GUS banker. or one less cattleman,
would have abandoned all hope But
with Mason dead the bank swayed pre-
cariously, lettering on the edge of
smash that might carry down with it
half the outfits of the Bench. To many
1t seemed that only another Mason
could avert disaster-and there was no
other.

Y CAR or by steamer, trip
* around the Great Lakes is a
tour of American commerce
and industry. If they only lay
there, basking in the sun or raging with
storms, our inland seas would be i'm
pressive. But they have served Amer
lea as no inland sea has served anOth-
er land. At every corner of the Great
Lakes, and because of them, busy cities
have risen. On the banks of hun
dred tiny creeks commerce has planted
its loading piers or elevators.
Our bridges crossed our lakes as ore
before they crossed a river. Scarcely
a skyscraper whose framework has not
wallowed in the swell Of our big Sea
Water before combing our urban
skies. The story of our Great Lakes
is one of unbelievably cheap freight
rates, of marvelously active freighters,
of fur and lumber, iron and grain.
In the days when the principal crop
of America was cOld-bred fur, the st.
Lawrence was the gateway to our Mid
west. Fur was the incentive of Nico-
let, Joliet, Marquette and La Sale, to
whom the watershed between the Great
Lakes and the wide Mississippi basin
was familiar while the British were
still settling the seacoast.
In 1903 most of this land became
ours through the Louisiana Purchase,
and the vast territory which fur trade
and Indian alliances had won for
France gave trans-Appalachian coloni-
cation new impetus. For a little less
than four cents an acre the young
American Republic acquired rich agri-
cultural lands stretching to the head
waters Of the Missouri and the Yellow
stone.
Around the lakes, fur coded its pri-
mary place to grain or lumber. Hi

At the northern end of the lakes
whole rust-red mountains of ore stood

cherryland of Wisconsin.

Thanks to the tempting influence of
Green Bay, over whose portage Father
Marquette and Joliet first reached the
Mississippi, Door county is Wisconsins
cherryland.
In the canning factory at Sturgeon
Bay neatly aproned operatives wait for
the red cascade of cherries to come
pouring down into their machines.
What between cherries and summer
resorts, Door county is busy place,
and from the observation towers of Pen
insula and Potowatomi State parks
one looks down on a wonderland of
forest and water, tourists resorts, and
cherry orchards decorated with signs
reading, "Pick your own, one cent a
pound"
1t is long jump westward from
Cherryland to Duluth-Superior, the
huskiest twins on the lakes. Their ri
valry keeps alive local spirit, but their
combined strength is of worldwide inn
portance.
Two sand pits enclose the most pic
turesque and remarkable harbor of all
those around our inland seas, with 40
miles of frontage and IL miles Of
dredged channels. To the northwest a
bluff rises so steeply from the water
that those who approach over the two
main highways suddenly look over the
edge of the plateau upon this expanse
of city and harbor.
AS long as grain Is grown and the
Mesabi mines hold out, Duluth-Superior
will rank high among the ports of the
world. As far as grain goes, they lag
far behind Fort William and Port Ar
thur; but down from the plateau comes
a never ending procession of ore trains.
