25 YEARS OW BOYHOOD DAYS How Dear to My Heart arc the Scenes of My Childhood, When Fond Recollection Presents Them to View Last week it was our pleasure to return to the home of our childhood days, and was thinking on our way what would most interest us while there, while most eager to look over the scenes of days gone by, I was just as glad to RGt away from them—there being so 'xaany changes, and many whom I knew in those days had gone west, and many gone to rest that knows no '•wakening until the great judgment day. I felt partly at home and partly v. lost in the quaintold ecenesof the days gone by, never to return to us again. It almost made me think after looking over the names in the old graveyard at Irving, Iowa, that so many had gone to the other world it seemed to us it was about time we would soon be nutabered among the "has beens" on this old earth. If you should ever make a trip to your boyhood playgrounds there will come over your mind many thoughts that would never come to you on any other visit in your ,.• life. Try it once and see if I am not right. I came from Greenville, Ohio, to lowa with my parents in 1855. I was two years old when I arrived at Irwin. My father used to team and haul freight from Iowa City, thirty miles away. in those years. The'winters Very cold and many snow storms and blizzards oomnred on the ttien blealit prairies of this Igreat State of Iowa.' In a •few' ^years' the'railroad war completed to ^Mwfengo, IowKT- Then it wSs that all freight was hauled from Marengo, until the C. &"n W. was built to Belle Plalne. Just east of Belle Plaine there is one of the deepest cuts through a large hill of any railroad crossing Iowa. It took about two years to finish this cut and it furnished a ready market for the farmers for mile# around for their grain, hay and feed, and all the produce and provisions the farmers had to sell at good prices. I saw the first school house I ever 'i attended, and the building is the same size now as then, having been kept well repaired all these years, and also saw the school house I attended and where I learned the old multiplication table of A Frazell—got it down pat, and it has been of valuable assistance to me ever since. It was at this same school I learned to spell. I was only a small slender, white headed boy of frail health at that time, for I hardly saw a well day until after I was thirteen years old. It was there that I used to help keep a large boy by the name of Sam I''. Kiler at the foot of the spelling class, ^J*xnuch to his displeasure, and he want'•--^ed to pulverize us into pulp but the .£ 'old teacher Mr. C. D. Fanton wouldn't allow him to hurt us. I met some of Pt"my 0 1 ]d school chums with whom I if used to play marbles and trade jack", knives. They all have gray hair and .gray beards now, which reminds us that in thirty years there are many changes. Saw the old stream called 'Salt Creek where we used to get up at 4:00 a. m. and go fishing. Some fish g~_\'were caught that weighed ten and gj','twelve pounds—catfish, bass and pick- It was here I recollect the beginning |^f.,of the war of 1861 to 1865. There was great excitement and I well remember &s.'~tbe meetings for signing of recruits to £rVlfo to the front. At these meetings -there was generally a martial band and i^ rmost stirring tunes were played. Many men walked up and signed their names who never returned to their families. ..Some wanted to sign and goto war who had large families and were poor and stay«d to help take care of families whose husbands west to the front. I '3eooltect when my father's neighbor ^signed father wanted to go but mothei clung to him and talked him out of the v. the notion. There were eight little -^children in our home to care for and mother thought the responsibility too ^-great for her. I reeollect the pictures sent to father by his brother, Dr. J. M. Patty, pictures of great battles. One -v Mr. Kruson sent home some army blankets, and small pox broke out in the neighborhood and at onetime there were fifty cases and many deaths. The principal of our high school aud his '"wife died of small pox. Hers it was that I recollect the total 4:"Hecl]pse of the sun occurred. A lot of we i^Vboys had been to the creek about four m. swimming, and on our return ps .home ws noticed the chickens going to roost and it seemed night for some time, but the sun soon shown again, fffe There was a man in our town who said it was going to be the last dayj and it was to be the end of this old world. He put on a big whit* robe and retired t, 0'^n 1 and some bad boys peeked into tbe window and saw him get up and look out when the sun came out again. He lived for thirty-five years after that. In 18691 think we came to Carroll county. It was there I started the first dray the town ever had—one horse one. Left Carroll in 1871 we came to Audubon county, where it has been our home ever since. Many people lived in the north end of the county in what was oalled dug-outs at that time. There are now living in this county some who have seen those dug-outs. There was no railroad here and mail was brought up from Atlantic by stage, and there are many residents now living in this county whom I hauled up from Atlantic on the hack. I was hack driver for nearly four years. Iu 1870 I think it was the Bock Island was built to Audubon. THEO. PATTY. BOOSTERS Are We Boosting In The Right Direction Or Are We Neglecting Things We Ought Not. Are we, in our zsal for the betterment of the condition of our roads, forgetting the weekly Bocial and enjoyable feature that we have had in Exira, for many years, which has been a pleasure to, not only the Exirsites but to the country people for miles around and from our friends in our neighboring towns? The Exira Concert Band has been neglected. The one great organization ^bat has been the life of the town whenever they appeared in public for many years has become nearly extinct for the proper support and maintenance. Its a little costly to keep an organization of its calibre on top of the wave of prosperity, 'tis true, but the method of doing so has been so light and easy on tbe contributors, admirers, a ad music lovers, that its concerts were a part of our life—our part of life that's worth the living— for the man that hath not music in his soul is certainly in a deplorable condition. The nucleus of the baud still in'existence are of the right quality to again build up tbe organization but as before remarked the men must have fiuancial assistance, with which to pay their rent, trim and keep burning their lamps, and above all purchase music. The instrumants they have but they badly need boosting. HORSE KILLED Rural Route Driver Lost Horse On Trip. Fell On Bridge. Broke Leg. Necrosis Lamed Him Andrew Jensen lost a good horse for his business of Rural Rt. carrier last Monday in the following manner: On starting out on his trip he noticed the animal was more lame than usual in his fore leg, but as it did not appear serious he made the trip alright until within about three miles of town, when in driving over tbe Essington bridge the animal stumbled and fell as if be had been shot. On examination Mr. Jensen thot tbe leg was broken at the hock joint but to make eure be phoned for Dr. Weighton who went to the scene of the accident, made an examination and found the bone broken and tbe animal was soon put out of its misery. The injured member was detacbed at the knee joint and brot to town and the bide removed when it was seen that "Necrosis" of the bone had taken place only a thin shell of one side of the bone being sound, which being so thin was not able to withstand the sudden shook of the fall. The boDe bad been injured sometime in tbe past in Bome manner and necrosis had steadily been going on. This is a severe loss to the owner. Don Hash Home Don Hash who has been doing service for your Uncle Samuel on one of hia battleships in the Atlantic and Mediterranean for aeveral months, returned to hia bome here laat Friday. In tbe few abort months of biB adsence Don has developed into a tine physical model of manhood and the time will come we believe when he will wish he bad not severed his connection with tbe service. Resigned Position Owing to continued poor health, Miaa Mary Gill has been obliged to give up her position as book keeper in tbe E. D. Cotton store and Mr. Peter Jorgenaen of south of Kimballton, who bas been at work in the Bank of Brayton ia working in her place.

F. touring car of Hans Hansen last week and now she can enjoy an evening's outing pleasantly after the arduous duties of the day. Hans Ingred Here Hans Ingved of Bayard was visiting Monday with his sisters, Mrs. E. J. Hansen and Mrs. Alfred Miller as be was on his return from attending tbe funeral of his nephew, John Johnson's child at Gates, la., which took place a week ago. Going To Hot Springs George Fiebtemier, residing three miles south of town is a great sufferer from rheumatism and is getting ready to take a course of treatment at the Arkansas or South Dakota Hot Springs. He hasn't made up hia mind fully to which place be will go. Runaway Team Last Monday Lars Petersen of southeast Audubon township while in town with his team and buggy was BO unfortunate as to let his horses get the advantage of him and run away. In their mad race they ran into Jas. A. Hick'a lot where they broke loose from the vebicle and were soon after halted. Tbe only damage sustained was to the buggy, the seat and circle both being broken. EXIKA, IOWA, THURSDAY, MAY 11, 1911. $1.00 PER YEAR OUR BOOSTERS _____ A Very Interesting Meeting Was Held Wednesday Night. A Goodly Number took Part. Booster Club met in regular session and was called to order by President Newlon, Minutes of previous meeting were read and approved. By request Chair appointed a Committee to arrange for conveyances to escort the Dea«$^«i*es Commercial Club and Trade\-Special from our depot through town and return, on Tuesday May 16tb.

There was also a Committee appointed to decorate the town on above date The committee is Ed Cotton, Dr. Jacobsen and L. J. Oldaker. It was also ordered that the executive committee of the Booster's Club take charge of the Decoration Services, and their report will come next week. VAN Returned From Omaha After A Three Weeks Clinic. His Anatomy Is Still Intact. "Old Van" is home again and looks aud acts like be used to act years ago. Van has been a faithful employee of this office for many years. His demeanor at times would indicate that bis lease of life was short, but his recuperative powers would come to his rescue and the first thing we knew the old man would be parting bis hair in the middle. But the latest episode is his coming back tbe way he did. Van was in Omaha going through a oritical examination for an internal trouble, and while the doctors disagree as to the cause of nis derangement we all agree that there must be a mushyness about the heait for as soon as Mrs. 8 poo returned from Omaha wbere she went a few days ago for a new auto, here comes Van all spick and span with a boiled shirt on and a clean hand. 'Tie surprising to notice tbe change in so short a time. Of course, there may be no connection of these incidents but it looks apprehensive. Horses Frightened While coming to town last Saturday tbe horses which Miss Elda Wheeler was driving took fright at a passing auto and shied off into a ditch breaking the singletree. The occupants of the auto got out and mended the broken part with a strap which they found in the buggy. Luckily no other damage was done. Returned Home Miss Mildred Hall returned from Lead, So. Dakota, Sundayjafter an absence of several months visiting with her aunt, Mrs, Belle Grace Miss Hall's health bas improved greatly in the higher altitude of that state. She expects to return there next winter. WEDDING ANNIVERSARY The Mingling Of Old Friends On The Second Wedding Anniversary Was A Delightful Affair. Mr. and Mrs. Arlie Johnson of Greeley township were host and hostess last Sunday to the following Exira citizens: Mr. and Mrs. Geo Milliman, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Milliman, Mr. and Mrs. P. M. Christensen, Mr. and Mrs. P. M. Petersen, Mr. and Mrs. C. L. McAninoh and Messrs J. B. J. Lobner, Nels C. Johnson# Chas. Baker, John Van de Brake and their best girls. The day was spent in various amusements suitable and appropriate on such occasions. A fine dinner was served, prepared by the hostess, to which all did ample justice. OUR HOME MERCHANTS If They Keep The Goods You Want, Patronize Them In Preference To Any Other. A full line of well kept retail stores is a great public convenience. it enables our home people to make purchases and take the goods home the same day. It enables them to take their own time for the inspection of the goods when they are not cut short by the hurry of a trip to Bome distant city. Gail Hamilton, a well known writer of some years ago wrote a book called, "Twelve Miles From a Lemon." It waB a humorist description of tbe inconveniences one encounters In living in a place where the conveniences of retail business are not good. People think of those things when picking out a residence town, and tbe bate to locate in a place lacking good stores juat as they dislike to go to a place lacking good water, and lights and streets and sewers. RETIRED AND RETURNED Ben Jensen And Wife After Forty Years On Farm Here Retire And Return to Denmark Mr. and Mrs. Ben Jensen left last Monday for Denmark, with the intention of making that country their future bome. They have been residents of Audubon County for about forty years and during that time by steady application have amassed a competence more than sufficient to maintain them in affluence if not luxury. Tney have made two or three visits to the land of their nativity and at last decided to return there for good. Mr. and Mrs. Jensen have made many lasting friendships during their long residence here, which death alone can erase. 1 We wish them long life and a prosperous voyage. Elmhurst Improvement W. W. Crissman of the west epd of South Street residing in tbe Elmburst division baa commenced the good work of improving the value of bis property and adding to its beauty by having a regulation four foot cement Bidewalk laid along the side of his one acre lot where it borders on the street. Mr. Crisman is to be congratulated on his enterprise. Now it remains for the other property holders to continue the good work on east to the bridge on Cartbrge street where the walk la already completed on Into the business part of town. m. E.

Prayer meeting Thursday eve. tiabbath morning Old peoples meeting. A special service for our Fathers and Mothers. To this meeting all are cordially invited. Sabbath evening. Our Epworth League Anniversary will occupy the hours for both League and Preaching. See Program. Let this be a Peu.tecost. Hoffman Pictures Rev. S. M. Smith has at quite an expense succeeded in renting reproductions of theae world famed paintings which will be presented foe tbe first time in Exira, Sunday evening May 13th. The paintings are repreBentstions of the Life of Christ and are well worth seeing as well as listening to the sermon that will accompany them. Everyone should make its point to attend. THE DOG AND THE BONE Atlantic Not Thankful For River To River Road. Want White Pole Road. Shows Teeth For Past Favors. Shame! For many years Exira has patronized quite liberally everything that Atlantic brought to her town. But the unfriendly spirit exhibited toward Exira in aiding, in every possible way and manner, the establishment of what they call tbe White Pole Road which is being established from Dee Moines to Atlantic by a few promoters, and in antagonism to the finest road in the world viz the soul inspiring and gliding River to River Road which comes through Des Moines, Guthrie Center and Exira to Atlantic is to say the least to be regretted. It is not enough tor our fair sister city to enjoy mnny privileges that seem impossible to the Bmaller towns. But when it comes to tearing down such enthusiaem and tearing up such roads that we have spent a small fortune on to create and build and all tbe time having a feeling that our outlay would in some way be reciprocated by Atlantic and now to learn that "The White Pole Road growB in favor daily and good work ia being done now to put it in condition its entire, length"—Atlantic News, May 9th—is like the dog with the bone and intimates to. Exira that all we have done Is as nothing. The source of retaliation in to change the map of the RIvor to River Road from Exira weBt to ElkTCorn and down tbe beautifal Nisbnu Valley to Walnut and again intersect the River to River Road. This will save the travelers from twelve to fifteen miles and will pasB through one of the richest tracts of the corn belt. Walnut would spend her money freely to smooth up the few bad spots. Elk Horn would outdo herself in improving any bad places that may be. Last but not least the seventeen railroad crossings that lay on the the White Pole Road Des Moinea and Atlantic will be missed entirely and the River to River Road will still be the same old safe way to travel. •, 1 Christian Church Note Sunday School at 10 a. m. .• Preaching at 11 a. m. and pTm Junior Eadeavor at 2 p. m.

Facts About Motherhood The experience of Motherhood is a trying one to most women and marks distinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one woman in a hun- Ifpdred is prepared or l\\ understands how to mi'rmm'l p.sirp. fnrlior- iproperly care for herself. Of course nearly every woman nowadays has medical treatment at the time of child-birth, but many approach the experience with ro LYDIA E PINKHAM an organism unfitted for the trial of strength, and when the strain is over her system has received a shock from which it is hard to recover. Following right upon this comes the nervous strain of caring for the child, and a distinct change the mother results. There is nothing more charming than a happy and healthy mother ot children, and indeed child-birth under right conditions need be no hazard to health or beauty. The unexplainable thing is that, with all the evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from an unprepared condition, women will persist in going blindly to the trial. It isn't as though the experience came upon them unawares. They have ample time in which to prepare, but they, for the most part, trust to chance and pay the penalty. In many homes once childless there are now children because of the fact that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound makes women normal, healthy, and strong. Any woman who would like special advice in regard to this matter is cordially invited to write to Mrs. Pinkliam at Lynn, Mass. Her letter will be held in strict confidence. BONANO, A ELK HORN M. T.

INTERNATIONAL BANANA FOOD CO. Chicago, 111. OBITUARY Jerry Miller, An Esteemed MMOf Of Mr. Business lUn Elkhorn, Who Passed Away, Tuesday. After a long illness, suffering with a hemorrhage of the lungs caused by tuberculosis, Jerry Miller died at his home Tuesday morning at 7 o'clock. He was not at the time thought teriously ill but at the breakfast table Me suffered a relapse which caused his death. Jerry Miller was one of thS oldest and most esteemed business men of Elkhorn, having been in businesshere for twelve years, and has helped improve the town to its present statewith his always willing, generousnature. His departure from our midst will be grieved by his townspeople, by his family and all who had the good fortune to ike his acquaintance. Mr. Miller was practically a young man, being only 5*6 cause for his early departure for the great beyond can probably be attributed to hisearly life in the Colorado mines. The sympathizing townspeople hoisted the Stars and Stripes at half mast and closed their places of bus!» hess during the burial at the Local Lutheran Church, where the last sad rites were performed by Rev. Jersild in the presence of about 500 people Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Mr. Miller leaves a mourning wife and three children who will never lorget their good husband and father who was loyal to all. Peace to his Memory.

A LETTER I Brooke, like many another man, dislikes writing personal letters. Like many another married man, he has delegated to his wife the task of writing family epistles. Mrs. Brooke has not been averse to performing this duty and has faithfuly discharged It. However, when Brooke's sister sent him a picture of herself, her husband and her children, with an oft-repeated request that he write to her, Mrs. Brooke said to her husband: "Harry you really must write to Florence. In almost every letter I receive from her she expresses a wish to get a message direct from you." "I have rather neglected Flo the last few years," Brooke agreed. "I'll write her the first oportunity I get." After several days had elasped and as many reminders had been given her husband Mrs. Brooke asked across the dinner table one evening: "Have you written to your sister today. Harry? You know you promised me this morning that you wouldn't let another day pass without getting off that letter." "The fact is, I haven't had time. Kitty," Brooke answered lamely. 1 "I should think you'd frame up a better excuse than that," returned his wife, severely. "You've worn that excuse threadbare." "You said you wrote her last Monday and told her all the news," Brooke said by way of making a defense. "The photograph was sent to you by your sister and at least merits acknowledging," Mrs. Brooke answered. "Besides, I can't blame Florence if she charges your negligence to my account. Naturally she supposes my wifely influence is exerted to keep you from writing her. I know that you have a sincere affection for Florence and take an interest In her and her family, but she knows this only from my letters to her." "Well, I have been negligent," conceded Brooke. "I'll write to Florence this evening." Callers came and In the game of bridge that followed Brooke's good intentions went the way of all the others. The next morning, when reminded by his wife, he said readily: "Sure, I'll write to Florence today. By the way, Kitty, what's become of that photograph? I suppose I'm expected to comment favorably on each member of the family. I want to do the right thing while I'm at it." "You took the photograph with you to your office and said you'd keep it tn your desk, along with the children's and mine," Mrs. Brooke informed him. "Maybe I did. Well, no matter. I'll probably find it In one of the drawers." Mrs. Brooke was hopeful, but not in the least confident, that the promised letter would be sent off that day. When her husband telephoned at o'clock that he was going to dine with an old friend and attend a theatre afterward, she asked: "Have you written to Florence?" "I was just going to dictate a letter when Thompson came in," he replied. "I'll write the first thing in the morning." A week later Mrs. Brooke said to her husband as he was leaving for the office: "I received a letter from Florence yesterday. She wonders if the photograph reached you." "Say! I haven't written to her yet, have I?" exclaimed Brooke. "I'll do It today, sure, Kitty. You needn't look so reproachful. I give you my word." Several days afterward Mrs. Brooke handed an open typewritten sheet to her husband across the library table, with the remark: "Here is the letter you wrote to your sister, Harry. She has returned it to me for an explanation. She says she doesn't know whether you are joking or misinformed or crazy, or all three." "What's the matter with that letter?" Brooke demanded. He took It and read aloud: "Mrs. L. A. Bleecker, Bloomfleld, N. J. My Dear Sister: I've been intending writing and thanking you for that corking picture you sent of the family.

Kit says she's written you all the news. This is Just to say we are all well and hope you are the same. With regards, I am your affectionate brother, "HARRY." "Well, what's the matter with It?" Brooke again demanded. "In the first place, Florence has only two children," Mrs. Brooke answered, calmly. "It's very evident that your memory deceived you and that you didn't take the trouble to hunt up the photograph. And, in the second place, Len has never worn a mustache as long as any of us has known him. Then, again, it was such a newsy, interesting letter to write after so many months of silence," she finished, a twinkle showing In her eyes. "This is a nice muddle you've got me Into, Kitty," Brooke said, reproachfully. "How on earth can I be expected to keep track of Flo's family and Len's mustache? You won't catch me writing any more letters, even to please you." *1 suppose I shall keep on writing them for you—not to save you, however, but solely to keep harmony in the family," Mrs. Brooke remarked, resignedly.

"There he'd sit just as contemptuous as a human being if you threw down eight rings, or nine—but the minute all ten of those rubber rings were down he'd bark and gather them up one by "He certainly was bright," said the host, politely. "Now, my dog—" "My terrier was terribly jealous," Interrupted the man with the mustache. "Jealousy in an animal Is very pathetic, I think. Bob had always been the whole thing and when the baby came he simply couldn't understand it. He'd try to push her out of our laps and sit and weep and look agonized when we talked to her. Finally, I telephoned a friend that 1 had to dispose of either the baby or the terrier, and he could come over and take his choice. He was dreadfully afraid of hurting our feelings and explained that of course the baby was lots nicer, but that he chose the terrier, as he could lock it up and leave it at home when he wanted to go out anywhere and he couldn't the^aby." "Ha! Ha!" said the host. "Most amusing! Now, my dog—" "Poor little Fldo" broke in the'woman at his left. "It's all I can do to keep from crying when I think of him! I think dogs must have souls, don't you? He was a cocker spaniel and so affectionate. He loved me devotedly and couldn't bear to have me out of his sight, and it always made him furious if we went riding and didn't take him along. Whenever I left him behind he went straight upstairs to a low shoe closet where I kept my shoes, and If the door wasn't locked he'd nose It open. Then he'd carry every one of those shoes and slippers downstairs and put them on the window seat and sit guard over them till he saw me come home. I tell you, nobody could touch those shoes—he'd growl and show his teeth and raise a dreadful row! I thought it so cunning!" "Very pretty, Indeed," said the host. "It reminds me that my dog—" "Henry!" interrupted his wife from the foot of the table, "don't you remember Sport? Sport was the bulldog my brother owned and when Henry was coming to see me Sport took the greatest fancy to him. One night when he was calling and another man came Sport sat on the front steps and wouldn't let the other man come up to ring the bell! Wasn't that perfectly killing? The other man declared that Henry had subsidized Sport with soupbones, but he really was quite nice about it, because he sent us a lovely silver dish when we were married." "Good old dog. Sport," agreed the host. "As I was saying—" "Fido really must have been part human," said the woman on his left. "He would sulk and pout, yo* know. Once, when we had been riding and he had stayed at home, he evidently thought it over and got terribly mad, for he acted just like a child who was In a rage and wanted to show how bad he could be. He jumped Into my lap and climbed up on my shoulder and pawed my hair down just as viciously as though he were saying 'I'll show you.' I laughed till I almost cried." "Dogs certainly are intelligent,' said the host in a strained but de termlned voice. "Now, the dog I am telling you about—" He was interrupted by his wife and the rest of the women rising and departing for the library. "We'll have our coffee there," his wife remarked. The deserted men edged closer together and the host cleared his throat. "Now," he said firmly, "I shall tell you about that dog I—" "Say," spoke up the only man who had contributed nothing to the symposium, "I don't care about dogs. Let's talk about horses. I've got a horse that's a wonder 1" "Well, of course, it's In my own house, so I can't do anything violent," said the host "So babble on, con* tonnd j»ou!" K? 0110 and bring them back to you! Why, he could count, that dog could, just as well as you! There wasn't any fooling him, either! Why, one time—" "My French poodle was just as bright," interrupted the woman on hia right. "Really, Toto was abnormal! He wasn't just a bundle of fluff with no brains, as most people judged from his looks. He knew every single word you said to him and he knew how to get his own way. Why, I've known that dog when there was a roomful of company and nobody was paying any particular attention to him to select a prominent place and sit up on his hind legs, looking about proudly when people exclaimed over how clever he was. "But that wasn't what I started to tell you. Toto was frightfully stubborn and always wanted his own way. Once he sat down in front of the swing door Into the kitchen and barked to be let out there, but for some reason I didn't want him to go, so I said: 'No.' He kept right on whining and teasing and drooped his ears and his tall and looked the picture of deserted despair, but I didn't give In and finally he sat down aid put his head on one side and thought. Then, like a flash he got up, raced up the front stairs, through the second floor and down the back stairs Into the kitchen, where he wanted to go. You needn't tell me that dog didn't figure that all out." 1 WHAT SENILE DEBILITY IS Waste of Muscle, Cartilage, Bone and NeiVe Tissue Consequent on lmpaired Metabolism. I. L. Nascher, New York, says that ,senile debility cannot be prevented, jbut Its effects can be relieved, the mental attitude Improved and a sem'blance of vigor restored. The cause is waste of musole, cartilage, bona and nerve tissue, consequent on impaired metabolism. That which improves the mental condition and Increases hope will improve the debility. When ambition and interest in work are lost erectness and inltlaitive are also lost. Ageing is in great part due to mental influences. Mental stimulation through physical influences is the natural method of overcoming mental depression. Phosphorus and arsenic are useful drugs for this purpose. Hygienic and dietetic measures to lessen waste are useful. Food should be nutritious and 6uch as require little digestive effort. Stiffness of the joints is due to hardening of the ligaments and moist heat followed by massage Is ot temporary benefit. The use of a cane for support in walking, and a comfortable armed rocking chair to support the arms, helps to acquire a better position. True senile dementia due to senile changes in the brain Is a progressive enfeeblement. Marked improvement follows small doses of morphine. This is only temporary and a habit may be formed.—Medical Record. FINED THEM FOR NOT VOTING Austria Made 50,000 Men Pay for 8taylng Away From Polls at Last General Election. In some countries voting is compulsory, and electors are fined If they do not do their duty as citizens and avail themselves of the franchise. According to the universal suffrage law of Austria all those on the register must record their votes, and at the last general election in that country 50,000 electors iwere fined sums from two dollars downward because they neglected to go to the poll. Spain is another country that looks on voting as a national duty, at least In the municipal election. Should a citizen omit to cast his ballot his name is published as a defaulter, his taxes are increased by two per cent., while if he be in the public service, his salary Is reduced by one per cent. Should he commit the fault a second time he is debarred forever from holding an elective position or an appoint ment under government. A few years ago a bill to the same effect was brought before the parliament of Victoria. All defaulters were to be fined $2.50 unless they showed they were ill at the time, were blind, over sixty-five years of age, or were unavoidably absent. A similar Idea was mooted in Canada, the penalty being disfranchisement for six years.—Stray Stories. Sure, He Did the Right Thing! "I hope it will be a long time before I have such another test applied to my honesty," a down-town merchant remarked as he returned from waiting on a customer, relates the St. Paul Dispatch. "What was the trouble?" asked his partner. "These near-wool, suits. An old fellow came In Just now and asked me the price of one. 'Seven dollars,' I told him. 'Speak louder!' he said, holding his hand behind hia ear. So I yelled, 'Seven dollars!' 'Eleven dollars! Too much! I'll give you nine!' he re» plied." His partner looked at the speaker in ularm. 'Y'ou—er—ot course, did the right thing?" "I guesa you can depend on me to do the right thing," was the haughty retort. Then he paused. "You'd better get some dollar bills when you go to the bank," he remarked. "I just gave an old fel. low our last one for change."' His First Day In School. It was a country school. A small, bright-faced boy had Just been en. rolled, and this was his first day. The teacher pointed out a desk for him, and gave him a lesson to study. He took his seat, propped his knees up against the desk, with his feet swings Ing down underneath, and soon became absorbed in his lesson. He b» came so absorbed. In fact, that he forgot he was in school, and presently he puckered uj his Hps and whistled, first softly and then quite shrilly. The teacher laid down his pen in amazement, and cried sharply: "Who Is that whistling?" The small boy looked up Quickly, and then said. Innocently "That was me. Didn't you know could whistle?" u, Army and Navy Inventors. There are numerous examples of ofr fleers of the army and navy inventing machinery and devices which are used by the service without any compensatlon from the government. Generally speaking, they are guided by the code of honor that as they were educated at the expense of the government and enlisted In its service It has the right to the use of their inventions without payment of royalty or other money. There have been many who have not considered themselves so bound, and have claimed compensation for use of their Inventions.—The Bookman. Another Phase of the Problem.

K'H jg&tfSksr- JC&f&sS LUCILE'S DIARY*! "Yesterday morning Betty telephoned to ask if I was going downtown. If you are." she said, "I should like to have you buy a pair of long white gloves for me to wear to Bob's fraternity assembly tonight. I've just discovered that I haven't a presentable pair, and, of course, Bob wishes me to look my best, for he is chairman of the floor committee. I'm so busy today that I just hate to go downtown." "I'll be glad to go for you," I said. "It's awfully good of you to make a special trip, Lucile," she exclaimed. Then I hurried away, for I wished to be early at a sale of lingerie frocks that I had seen advertised. I tried on nine or ten of them before I could come to any decision, and then I had three sent home on approval, for I don't believe in buying thoughtlessly or carelessly. By the time I had finished this rather exhausting work it was noon and I felt that I needed a more substantial lunch than I could afford to buy, so I went over to father's office, but he was out. I knew it would be useless to wait for him, so I started back to the retail district and was walking slowly down La Salle street when I met Wiener Lee. I told him how I happened to be in that part of town. "I shall be delighted if you will take lunch with me," he said. Of course, I protested that I wasn't hungry, but he Just laughed and took me to a cafe, where we had a delightful meal. We ate slowly and lingered over the dessert. I was startled to find how late It was when we rose from the table. "Let's go to see the pictures at Barndale's," suggested Wisner. "Oh, have they a new collection there?" I asked. "I should love to go, but I have to buy a pair of gloves for Betty." "We .can run into one of the shops and get the gloves and then go on to Barndale's," said he. So we walked to the store where Betty trades. I selected a pair of gloves and had them charged and sent to Betty. "I feel quite out of it," I said, laughingly. "You know that before Uncle Bob married Betty he used to take me to his fraternity dances." "Why can't we have a little celebration of our own tonight?" asked Wisner. "If we can't go to the assembly, we can go to the theater. We'll just get some tickets before we see the pictures." I was dressing for the theater'In the evening, when mother came into my room and asked for Betty's gloves. "Betty's gloves!" I repeated. I was fixing my hair in a charmingly quaint style which I had seen that afternoon in one of the mpst beautiful portraits in the collection. "Yes, Betty's new gloves that you were to buy for her today," said mother. "Bob is downstairs waiting for them." "Why, I had them sent to Betty at her home, of course," I explained. Mother left the room, but before I had got even one side of my hair done she was back again. "Bob wants to know what time you bought the gloves," she said. "Somewhere between three and four," I replied. "Well, then, of course they won't be delivered tonight. Why didn't you bring them with you?" "Now, mother, you know very well that I couldn't carry a package to an art exhibition." "Well, I don't see what poor Betty can do," sighed mother. I stopped right in the middle of doing my hair and hunted up some white gloves. "There," I said. "Tell Uncle Bob to fake these to Betty. She and I wear the same size." I regret to Bay that Betty often violates good tasta by venting her ill humor over the telephone. This morning she called rr\e up to tell me that my "carelessness" bad just about spoiled her evening. "What do you meanl" I asked, with dignity. "You sent me a mlsmated pair ot gloves and I did not (Jlscover it until I was In the dressing-room at the assembly hall." "No one would notion the difference at night," I replied. "I think," returned Betty, icily, "that any one would notice the dlfferenoe between a two-button street glove and a shoulder length glove. It wasn't very pleasant for me to have to appear with bare hands and arms at the most formal affair of the season. Bob was dreadfully annoyej." I started to say something sympathetic to her, but she had broken the telephone connection. Betty at times Is so abrupt as tp be positively rude. Queen Took E(lame. In the days of his youth Sir Charles Dllke showed ardent Republican tendencies, and made many speeches in the house of commons and throughout the country against monarchy. Perhaps the best comment on the episode was that of Queen Victoria herself. It has been said that Dllke's father had been on terms of Intimacy with the prince consort. Tho queen recalled that she had stroked Dllke's hair when he was but a child, "perhaps," she said, "I rubbed it the wrong way."

Fine Ice Sold and Delivered Every Day HELPING FUTURE MANAGERS OF FARM Educators Everywhere Beginning to Realize That Boys and Girls of Our Farms Have Been Neglected—Country Children to Be Given Chance to Study Things Nearest Them. BY P. C. TAFF. Extension Department, Iowa State College. For many years short courses, farmers' Institutes and various other meetuings have been held for the benefit of the farmers and farmers' wives of ev"ery state. This and all other agricultural education has been chiefly directed to the grown-up people. Today educators everywhere are beginning to realize that the boys and girls, who are to be the future managers of our farms, have been neglected. Even their schools have not been of the proper kind and the subjects taught there are anything but inviting to the free and Inquiring minds of farm children. Not a single subject has been taught them which should fit them for their duties of life or which bring them closer to their work. There may be some good reasons why many bright country boys and girls have left the old farm and gone to the more luring life of the cities. But conditions are rapidly being changed and we can rightly hope that in the near future the country children will at least be given a chance to study the things nearest them and that their education will be as thorough and complete as that of their city cousins. This will ultimately come through the introduction into the schools of the fundamental principles of agriculture and home-making A Farm Boy Selecting His Show Corn. and the correlation of this work with the subjects already taught there. This is only justice to our country population, and is by no means a difficult task. However, it will be several years before many schools take up this redirected education, as it cannot come suddenly. It must come gradually with the conditions and ability of the forces to carry on such work. In the meantime much good can be done through other sources in helping the boys and girls in their farm life. It is to meet this need that the Junior work of the Extension Department is conducted. The work began in the spring of 1909 when about 500 boys and girls agrfeed to carry on an individual ear test with ten ears of corn. Nearly one-half of them purchased the seed they began with from some well known corn breeder in the state. Instructions were sent them throughout the season in testing the seed, planting, cultivating, making records and harvesting the crop. During the short course the following winter nearly all of these young farmers competed for several thousand dollars in premiums offered for the best samples of corn exhibited. This contest was considered very successful and it was decided to make it an annual feature of the work. During the season of 1910, the work was broadened to include much more than corn raising. A choice of seven courses was offered to the boys and girls two were In corn growing, one in oat growning, one in garden and potato growing and one each in cooking, sewing and home management. From four to eight lessons were given in each course. The work began with the simplest phases of the subject and became more advanced as the season progressed. Through the efforts of county superintendents and teachers a total of over 7,000 boys and girls enrolled and received instructions in these courses. At the short course last month the second annual contest was held and premiums were offered for the best corn, oats, potatoes, cooking, sewing and home management work. A report of this exhibit will be found elsewhere In this issue. At the short course a year ago last January the Iowa Junior Agricultural Union was organized among the eighty boys and girls attending. There seemed to be a need for a state organization of this kind to direct and bring together once a year a representative of county and local clubs. The officers are elected from the boys and they are given the complete control of the organization. Last year the membership reached almost 7,000 active members. The purposes of the union are well stated in the constitution and are substantially as follows: 1. To assist in extending the benefits of the agricultural college to the farms boys and girls. 2. To Interest the boys and girls in farm life by outlining courses of study fn farm and home work, encouraging competitive contests, holding junior short courses, and assisting in organizing county and local clubs. 3. To co-operate with other educational associations. 4. To print an annual report. The annual meeting is held -each year during the short course at Ames. The second annual meeting was held last month. New officers were elected and a business meeting held at which a committee was appointed to revise the constitution. In the revised constitution the committee was instructed to Include as much as possible of the plans and work of the boy scouts, a move which -will give a social and moral as well as an Intellectual interest to the work. This committee was also instructed to select a suitable pin or badge to be worn by the members. It is expected that thjs organization will be a great help to the local clubs by furnishing instructions and material for their work. The membership will probably double in the next year and a great good will certainly be accomplished when these thousands of boys and girls begin studying the things of interest to them. The real purpose of this junior education is not so much to teach the boys how to raise bigger crops or the girls how to keep house more economically, but it is to make their life work more pleasant and interesting because of their knowledge of it. Education is said to be the fitting of one's self for his or her life duties. If the farm boys and girls are not given an opportunity to study their business, they will not be educated farmers.— Iowa Agriculturist. Land as an Insurance. Good land—and there are millions of acres of it still available in this country at a moderate figure—is the best form of insurance not only for the family in event of your death, but for yourself during life, while you can enjoy it to the full. No better legacy can be left to your children. TEACHING FARM WORK BY SPECIAL TRAIN A Crowd of Farmers and School Children at a "Better Farming Special." The extension department has started another campaign of teaching by special train. An oat train was sent out on the Milwaukee lines during the week beginning March 20. This was in response to the demand for this kind of Instruction which followed the running of an oat train on the same road two years ago. Beginning March 27 a special live stock train was started on the Northwestern lines for three weeks' work in the state. This train will be devoted largely to hogs, taking up both the raising of the hogs and the cooking of pork products. A special car for the school children is also provided. The following speakers are with the train: Professors R, K. Bliss, A. A. Burger, P. G. Holden A. V. Storm, E. C. Bishop, Miss Neal Knowle8, Miss Gertrude N. Rowan aa.d Miss Helen Watts.

The Iowa State college 1s located at Ames, close to the center of the state, on the Chicago and Northwestern railway. The college farm includes about 1.200 acres, of which 125 Is used for the campus and buildings. The Iowa State college has the largest and most beautiful campus of any college In the west. The trees, shrubs and walks have been arranged with a view to the finest landscape effect. Nearly every kind of tree and shrub that will grow in this latitude Is found on the campus. The student body of nearly 1,800 is composed mainly of agricultural and engineering students, In nearly equal numbers. There Is also a liberal sprinkling of home economics, sciences, and veterinary students. A new veterinary building which has Just been commenced will provide an equipment for this line of work that is not excelled anywhere. The requirements for entering this course have been raised recently and the course greatly strengthened. The girls are provided for in a Jiew Home Economics building, just completed. A dormitory and dining hall for the girls is also provided on the campus. The engineering department is well supplied with buildings and equipment. Engineering hall, a fireproof building of Bedford stone erected at a cost of $220,000, is the best engineering building west of the Mississippi. It is used for offices, lecture rooms, and laboratories. The engineering annex is a two-tory fireproof building. It contains the dynamo laboratory, mining engineering laboratories, and drafting and instrument rooms. A Ceramics building provides rooms for clay working, kilns, and for the chemical work of the engineering experiment station. In addition to these there are a number of smaller buildings such as foundries, forge and machine shops, etc. With the completion of the New Agricultural hall the Iowa State college has an equipment for the teaching of agriculture that is equalled by very few, if any colleges in the world. The New Agricultural hall, like the other principal college buildings, is built of Bedford stone, and is fireproof throughout. It Is located directly across the main campus from Central hall, and its massive proportions add materially to the appearance of the agricultural side of the campus. The total cost of the building was $3,00,000, exclusive of furnishings. The ground floor is occupied by the class rooms, offices and laboratories of the soils department, the bulletin offices, the agricultural journalism department, and the Iowa Agriculturist, a paper published by the Agricultural club. On the first floor are the offices of Dean Curtiss, the library and reading room, and the offices and class rooms of the animal husbandry department. The second floor is occupied by the horticultural and agricultural chemistry departments. The farm crops and extension departments occupy the top floor. At the back of the building is a semi-circular wing, containing an assembly room, with a seating capacity of nearly a thousand. This will be used for the meetings of the Agricultural club and other agricultural gatherings, and as a lecture room during short courses. With the additional equipment provided by this new building, the college is in a position to do even greater work than ever before In spreading agricultural education. The superiority of the agricultural course offered at Ames is shown by the prestige which the college is attaining in other states and abroad. Students from colleges In all parts of the United States are coming to Ames to take post-graduate work. The University of Edinburgh has made a year's work at A.v.es a requirement in connection with its animal husbandry course. The old agricultural building, now known as Agricultural Engineering building, is now being used by the agricultural engineering department. A large dairy building is occupied by the college creamery and the class rooms, offices, and laboratories of the dairy department. In addition to these buildings the college 1b well supplied with barns, judging pavilions, etc. A tract of two hundred acres about two miles south of the main campus is used for a dairy and poultry farm. The greatest work that the college la doing, however, as far ae immediate View of Part of the Iowa State College Campus Looking Southwest From Old Agricultural Hall. Central Hall and Morrill Hall in the Distance. results are concerned, is in educating the farmers of Iowa. A large number of the young men who graduate from the four-year course each year go back to the farm to put their knowledge Into practice. In most cases the farms of these men are an object lesson to their community, and inspire others with a desire for agricultural education. Those graduates who do not go back to the farm take up teaching or investigational work, where their Influence Is even more keenly felt. In order to aid the great majority of farm boys and girls who do not have the time nor money to take a full college course, the college has inaugurated a system of short courses. The largest of these is the two weeks' winter course at Ames. About 700 farmers attend this annually, and If one of them has ever gone away feeling that his time was wasted he has kept exceedingly quiet about It. In order to extend this work still further, the extension department four years ago commenced holding local short courses of" one week each at various places throughout the state. The demand for these short courses has become so great that the department can not begin to satisfy all requests with the men and funds now available. In order to provide for the boys who have had a high school education, the college offers a two-year course in agriculture. A completion of the eighth grade in the common schools is all the preparation that is needed to enter this course. Although it was introduced only last fall, It is already very popular, having more than one hundred students enrolled. For the benefit of school teachers, country preachers, and others Interested in agriculture who are unable to attend the winter shart course, a two weeks' summer short course is to be given this summer, from June 12 to 23. In connection with the college la the agricultural experiment station. The experiment station men are continually at work to discover new facts that will be of benefit to the farmers of the state. One of these men has devised a hollow tile silo which is proving to be an Improvement over the other types. The veterinary section has been investigating tuberculosis in cattle with a view to perfecting plans for Its control. Some work in the control of hog cholera has also been carried on. The dairy section has done a great deal In Improving methods of butter and Ice cream making, and In creamery management. Experiments in plant, grain, and live stock breeding that promise great results are now under way. Taken in all its phases, the Iowa State college is the best paying investment that the people of Iowa ever made. Ames Veterinarians Banquet. The annual verterinary banquet at Des Moines has come to be a landmark in the veterinary course at Iowa State College. This year the seventh annual banquet was held at the Savery hotel March 10. Mr. George Judlsch of Ames was toastmaster. The following toasts were given: "Needs of the Veterinary Division". Dean Stanton "Course and Prognosis". Harry Havner "Pathological Alterations" E. N. Wentworth "Symptoms" Dean C. F. Wentworth "What the Veterinarians are Doing" Dean C. H. Stang Following the toasts speeches were given by Lieutenant Governor Clark, State Dairy Commissioner Barney, Senator Fltzpatrlck, Representative W. P. George and Hon. Parley Sheldon. Honor Agricultural Students at Ames. The following are the honor students In the agricultural courses at Ames: M. R. Tolstrup, dairy Howard Vaughn, animal husbandry B. A. Stewart, agronomy R. S. Porterfield, veterinary Shirley Storm, home economics. There is especial cause for congratulation that most of these honor students are n«t th« proverbial grinds that the word "honor students" brings to mind. Nearly all of them have bean very active in outside work and have not by any means sacrificed outside activities for the sake of securing scholarship honors. BENG BUSINESSLIKE When the delivery man had pocketed his bulging book and gone pounding on his way, the oldest daughter of the house shrugged her pretty shoulders and returned to her guest in the parlor. "Business is a great fraud," she declared. "I've always said so," responded her friend with some emphasis. "I've just signed an expressman's book to show that I've received something," the daughter of the house explained. "Now, why sign? I don't know what's in that box. It's large and heavy, but It may be empty. And yet a delivery man would drop dead if you stopped to look inside before you signed. No one ever does." "Certainly not," said her friend, warmly. "That would be quite unprofessional. What that box contains in a small matter, after all. The point is, did it come? When you are as old as I am, my dear, you will begin to understand how many yards of red tape men need to be truly businesslike. They put up an appearance of great caution—" "And do the saddest things ever heard of!" "Exactly. Leases that everybody breaks—" "Checks that any one can cash—" "Contracts that no one pays any attention to—" "Deposit slips that you always lose—" "Passes for the bearer only—but any one may be the bearer—and cards not transferable—" "Adele, I'm so glad to hear you speak so," cried the hostess. "I've always believed that business was so much pretense." "A most cursory knowledge of business methods—improperly so called— shows how shallow they are." "I'm so glad you feel as I do, Adele. It's such a comfort to hear you express those convictions. Father has always scolded us girls for not being businesslike, and I've always tried to conceal my ignorance more or less. It seemed such a matter for scorn." "Scorn? My dear," said her friend in a tone of finality, "business Is Incompatible with high thinking." "Adele," said the girl suddenly, "how do you send money.." "Seal it up," snapped her friend. "How else?" "You darling! Of course how else! But as long as I can remember, whenever we sealed up money In an envelope and father found it out he would throw up his hands and Implore the fates to help us. Then he has gone about for days after, uttering instructions about 'money orders' and registered letters! But neither Ethel nor I had ever paid any attention to him until last summer when I went to the country. It was very funny. "I had been away only a short time when Ethel wrote In a rather superior tone that she had sent me a registered letter for $10. Just as if she had been in the habit of doing those things every day of her life! The money didn't surprise me, you know, because she owed it to me. But 'registered letter' sounded entirely too ambitious for our little Ethel. "Well, I went down to the postoffice every day for a week, insisting that there was a registered letter for me. The postoffice there was a poor excuse of a place, and It had a lot of suspicious looking clerks. So when my letter was overdue I just drew myself up and Insisted that the letter was there, and so was the money. But they did not seem greatly excited. "The people of the town began to Interest themselves In my financial condition. It was rumored that I was expecting a lot of money that hadn't come, so I had to spend money lavishly to show that I didn't really need it. Then I wrote Ethel that something was wrong. And I didn't hint that It served her right. "Her next letter was suitably humble. She couldn't understand what was the matter, but she Inclosed a little paper, which, she said, the man at the postoffice had given her as a receipt for her money. She said she had given my name and address quite plainly and she suggested that if I showed the receipt they might be able to trace the letter. So down I went to the postoffice with the little paper. 'Here's the receipt,' I said. Then, Adele, you never heard such a noise a& those crazy men made. You'd have thought they had been saving up that guffaw for the best part of their lives. "As soon as they could frame words they asked me In a sort of chorus what I wanted. Naturally, I told them, when my sister had given my address and paid her money she expected that it would be sent to me. I can't tell you all they said. They showed me all the reading matter on that paper, which was enough to drive any one Insane. "But it seems, Adele, that after giving your money to the clerk at the postoffice you have to send on the little receipts yourself and put the person that gets it to the trouble of having it made back into money again. Could anything be more roundabout?" "Then you haven't seen the new forms for money orders?" "Don't tell me—" "I. won't. Only they've added some other kind of ticket—which makes three." "Goodness, Adele, what's the point? But tell me—if all that performance is only a money order, what In the world 1b a registered lettor?"
