Cf" I 25 YEARS OLD. WELL HPT PARK Nothing Adds To The Attractiveness Of Town Or City As A Well Kept Park. A beautiful park well kept, catches the eye of the traveler quicker than do buildings that rear their lofty heads skywards, or paved streets that 1. are so smooth and pleasant to ride upon, for the public expects to see them in cities where the country's wealth is dumped. But a neat and "V.. nicely kept park in a village the size «f Exira, in the heart, or central part y- of the town, which nature has embellished its surroundings with a grandeur that has no equal is certainly worthy of special notice. The grass on our park has been mowed over until it is getting equal te the finest lawns, and beautifully carpeted. A nice coat of paint now on the band stand and everything will be in order for the nicest little celebration Exira has ever had. K® STARTS STORE Mr. Henry Campbell Moves Large Stock From Biarysville, Ho., To Guthrie Center, Iowa. ..vMt. Henry Campbell moved his family from Exira to Guthrie Center laBt week, where he will open op a large stock of merchandise. Mr. Campbell traded his two farms, one near Guthrie Center and one nearCasay for very large stock of general merchandise and moved the same from Marjr» •ille, Missouri to Guthrie Center, where he will ppen up the stock in a few days and give the patrons of the Center, such bargains as they never had before. Mr, Campbell has lived here for sometime and his departure is regretted, for Henry is one of the most congenial of men and honest to a fault. ROAD DRAGGING LAW Attorney General's Office Clears Up •**.- Debated Points of Statute. Opinion by N. I. Day. Nels J. Lee, special counsel in the omce or Attorney General George Cosson, handed down a comprehensive opinion yesterday on the road dragging law passed by the last General Assembly. The main questions passed upon by Mr. Lee follow: The one mill tax for road dragging provided by the last General Assembly must be levied by township trustees previous to the general levy made by the Board of Supervisors for 1912. The public roads of townships must be divided into permanent road dragging districts during the present year and a superintendent of roads appointed to supervise the work. The superintendent of draggingcannot in any instance be a member of the board of trustees, but may hold the oflfce of road superintendent in conjunction with that of dragging supervisor. The one mill tax for dragging fund is independent of the regular tax which' trustees 'tire authorized to levy for the maintenance of the roads. It was the intention of the legislature to provide road dragging in 1911 and the work must be done by the trustees, although the regular fund is not available until 1912. Funds with which to pay the expense of dragging during the present year may be taken from the regular road levy. Township clerks should call a meeting of the trustees for the purpose of ^making the road drag levy in time for Ahe annual levy made by the Board of Supervisors. WEDDINGANNIVERSARY C. C.

Kellogg, Audubon, Iowa, Dear Sir:—Your latter of sometime back to hand, and in reply will say we expected you down the last excursion sure but were disappointed, but there was an exoursiop here of 42 people. They got here 09 the 5th when we expected you they thought this a fine place, lots of them bought $42,500 worth which would be an average of over $1,000 apiece. They had a fine banquet for them at the "Experimental Farm," They stayed until Monday. Now you ought to be here and see how nice everything looks. It rains here every week we have all we need, for the last two months I don't think it has gone over a week in that time without a good rain. We had one 011 Friday in the morning and one at noon Our crops are as fine as silk, our cotton on the place is beginning to bloom and Bert is so proud of his outlook for a crop of fine cotton that we think he dreams about what a fine bank account he will have this fall when his crop is off. I have fenced in about twelve acres of pasture east of our house for the mules, it is fine pasture too. You would be surprised to see the tine grass since so many rains. Almost every bit of the groaud is covered with green stuff. They have been pumping at the Lane & Bowler well for sometime, filling up the reservoir but we don't need any irrigating now as it rains so much, a good rain every week. Tell Carper the cotton on his place is fine. I had five Mexicans thinning it out. It looks as if he would not know the place. I think when he sees it he will be surprised to see how nice it is.

Vv-e *^'", lf -U 4 REPUBLICAN We suppose the proposed Canadian reciprocity treaty as being detrimental to the farming interests of the country and we pledge the nominee of this Convention to oppose the adoption of said reciprocity measure and urge our United States Senators to use their influence and all honorable means to prevent the passage of said measure. We denounce the proposed free list of the democratic house of representatives as a I measure injurious to the in-! terest of American industry! and dangerous alike to farm and shop. No other resolutions were adopted by the republicans except that the principles contained in the last national plat lor were endorsed. Mr. Stern said: "I want to see every one of my friends in the district give Judge Green the same support which I would have expected from his friends had I been the nominee. I want them to take off their coats and work for him. When the convention speaks that goes with me. Judge Gfeen is fairly entitled to every republican vote in tbe district. Personally I don't feel that I lost in the fight for I have made many pleasant friendships in the counties where I was unacquainted. I want the boys to understand all along the line that I am feeling all right." OUR HONORED SON Raking Good As State Attorney General, A Scholar, Studious, Diligent In His Profession. State Attorney George Cosson is making good as Attorney General of Iowa As a poor boy, struggling hard to support a widowed mother, he made good. As a telegraph operator and later a Depot Agent, he was not found wanting. As a student struggling to Master Blackstone he was diligent. As a practicing Attorney he made his reputation. Asa County Attorney he enforced the law, fearlessly, and regardless of what might como, and has the record of loosing but one case during his tenure of office. As Assistant Atty. General of Iowa under Attorney General Byers he never betrayed the trust imposed in him. As State Senator he secured the passage of eight important bills that will always be known sis they are known today, the Cosson laws. He is always alert and assiduous.

HOW THE PARTIES STAND ON RECIPROCITY RESOLUTIONS OF NINTH DISTRICT CONVENTIONS STERN AND WHITE SUPPORT JUDGE GREEN STATEMENT PUBLISHED IN THE DES MOINES CAPITAL ON MAY 17. 1911 ^SfTFt If-' U" U^"*- J? r- W. J. Lancelot, Editor W. H. Lancelot, Publisher DEMOCRATIC We commend the democratic house of representatives upon its support and passage of the bill providing for reciprocal trade relations with Canada. Fair reciprocity has always been a democratic doctrine and while the pending trade agreement originated with a republican president, the democratic members of the house recognized in it a measure which, while not perfect, opens the way for better trade relations and the extension of the American markets, have patriotically given it their support. They have thus demonstrated to the country that they will place ^ktriotism above party advantage and support any meritorious measure which has for its object the purpose of lightening the burdens resting upon the common people. 'All re- Mr. White said: publicans ought to get in the fight for Judge Green. It is an important fight, coming right in the trail of the national campaign. Republicans must vcw see the necessity for closing the ranks.' riMuch depends on the patriotism of each voter in getting out and voting for there is no incentive of local candidates to call out the votes. I have enjoyed becoming acquainted over the district." lu A AL ANDREWS Owner Of A New rord Automobile Now Improve His Fleeting moments By Pracling Speed Limit. Since the rain of Monday last our Autoists have been unable to take out their cars. A1 Andrews however had not familiarized himself with the spaed of his new Ford before the roads became too muddy to travel so he has contented himself with practicing riding one of the little boys Express Wagons on the cement sidewalk that leads to the depot.

Oh yes! one more, speed limit—don't go into town faster than the machine can go, say 40 miles, for you may hurt some one. No Play Spell Farmers usually have a play spell between corn planting and corn plowing which sometimes last two weeks but this year the intervening period was so short that we don't know of any going away to look at land bb they usually do at this time of the year, Tbe fine condition ot the eoil and tbe extremely hot weather at planting time brought corn right up and the most of it could be rowed in five daye time. This caused the farmer to get after the weeds for they grew too. Surprise Party The many friends of Miss Myrtle Knox gave her a pleasant little surprise party last Thursday evening.

It is an unusually large child and peems to be very healthy. Mr. Basham, who is one of the Rural Free Delivery Mail drivers is certainly to be oongratulated upon receiving such a bouncing baby into his home, for there are thousands of homes in the U. S. of Ameaica, who would give a little fortune to be so fortunate as to raise a son and heir to their estates. The percent of childless homes in the United States is tbe largest of any country in the world. Eipeolally among the rich are births considered out of place. It is said that on Fifth Avenue, New York where ao many of the rich people reside there has not been a child born in many years. BILLY SPNDAY'S SON Must Be Operated Upon.

Andrews, Adjotant NEW R00TE Valuable Information For The Traveling Public. The Great Rock Island Solving The Problem Of Distance. The inauguration on May 14tli of through high class passenger service over the new Rock Island Short Line between Des Moines and the Twin Cities marks the beginning of important changes in the railroad map of Iowa, aud incidentally establishes a number of new transportation routes of vital importance to Des Moines, St. Paul, Minneapolis aud tributary territory on the north, and the entire southwest. By the acquisition of the St. Paul and Des Moines 11. R., the Rock Island Lines, in connection with their present line, secure the shortest route] between Des Moines and the Twin Cities and reaoh a rich territory. The new line shortens the distance between Mason City and the Twin Cities and gives that growing industrial center additional outlets north, and south of immense value. By the construction of the]|new line south of Des Moines upon which—it is announced—work will at once commence, the short line between Des Moines aud Kansas City will result. This will establish a direct liue from the Twin Cities through Mason City, Iowa tails aud Des Moines toj Kansas City and the Gulf ports which materially shortens the distance, will|provide iiacreased transportation facilities to Des Moines and supply a desirable': means of traffic interchange between Des Moines and the important centers of the north, and the rapidly developing southwest. The new trains will provide through night and day service between Des Moines, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Mason City at convenient hours and1 meet the popular demand.

You were doubtless taught that St.' Augustine, Fla., Is the oldest city in! America, and so far as settlements hyi Europeans are concerned that is proti-. ably correct, but scientists know of aj city so old that there is no telling^ when It was built, and they oftefi, speak of it ae "the oldest city in America." This "city" is Copan, bui ried in the forests of Honduras, near the Guatemala boundary line. It Is not a city in the modern sense of thei word, for it is only a heap of ruins, but there is enough to show that at som6 time centuries and centuries ago it was a busy center of population. Then the Maya Indians of Yucataiäand Central America were at the telght of their civilization. They, built cities by constructing the bases! of greet pyramids out of blocks ot stone of enormous sice. These block)! were taken from quarries some times' two miles distant, were conveyed the "city" and placed in the wall in perfect order, and yet it is not knowti .that the Mayas had any machinery, or handling such heavy material. The pyramidal abase of Copan is lullt up to considerable height, and upon the flat top are placed the palaces, the altars and other smaller pyramids. From all evidence Copan was in ruins when Cortez conquered Mexico in 1521. The Spaniard and his soldiers passed wlthlp a short distance! of it and did not see the town at allJ so it must have been deserted avenj then. And yet t&e ruins of Copan bear evidence of having lain there,' buried amid the luxuriant foliage of Honduras, far ages, and. only som» crude Inscriptions on the rocks canj give a clue to the history of the woti-, derful place. These inscriptions arid carvings still defy solution. There statues and Images made of rook, buti they are meaningless.

A TWO STORY FARMING NECESSITY WILL SOON MAKE IT COMMONPLACE IN IOWA. Doubling Profits by Growing Two Crops at Once—Fertility of Soil Not Impaired if Crops Are Rotated. BY A. G. M'CORMICK. Two story farming is new in Iowa, but necessity will soon make It commonplace. We are now using every means to get the best seed and the best stand of every crop we can and the practice of farming for money is becoming more Intensive. Just as we always have a crop of clover coming on under the small grain so will we soon have a highly paying crop coming on between the corn rows. How many tlmea while plowing the corn the last time have wo stopped in the middle of the field and looking around at the clean ground wondering if the stalks of corn really needed all the space they were using. There was not a weed on the ground and were it not so much trouble we might have turnips growing all over the Held. But then what would we do with them and anyhow there was plenty of room in the potato patch to raise all the turnips we could eat. There are several crops that pay well for stock and can be grown without much work. Rape for example, of the Dwarf Essex variety, if sowed in the corn at the last cultivation at the rate of about four or five pounds per acre will make excellent returns in pork or mutton. If the stand of corn is poor it is particularly valuable, not that it furnishes a crop for the bare land, but that It makes a good fall pasture. The stand of corn does not need to be poor for the rape to be good, for In practice the places where the corn is thickest and strongest are the places where the rape grows best. Many farmers have profited handsomely by pasturing lambs, wethers or even old ewes in cornfields after the rape was large enough to browse. If the corn has not been blown down the sheep will do no damage, but will strip off the lower leaves which are partly cured, along with some of the foxtail which will tend to balance the rape. And a minor reason which results is the cleaner field, hence leas unpleasant husking. Rape for a supplement In the business of hogging down corn Is one of the best feeds yet found. There is practically no extra work to grow It and the returns in pork are excelled only in the fattening pen. Shoats averaging ninety pounds turned into a small lot of corn about September 10 in which there is a good stand of rape will make surprising gains from the start. The prac tice of hogging down corn is a good one as many farmers know, but the results can be doubled, or nearly so, iX M-o is there to add Its variety and -*^rT LIVE STOCK'S PLACE IN IOWA AGRICULTURE Importance as Permanent Feature of Successful Agriculture Is Strongly Urged—Farms That Fatten Live Stock Are Farms of Fattening Land. Group of Hereford Steers at Iowa Agricultural College: By C. F. CURTISS. Dean Division Agriculture, Iowa State College. The farmers of Iowa will do well to give special attention to the Importance of live stock as a permanent feature of successful agriculture. The old Scotch maxim, "Market the products of the farm on foot rather than In the bag,"' cannot be Ignored without sooner or later paying the penalty of declining fertility. It is contended by some that soil fertility can be maintained without live stock. This may even look plausible In theory, but we hve no record of any considerable area where a productive soil has been maintained without live stock, it is not likely that the Mississippi valley will prove an exception to the rule. We have depleted our soil too long already by exporting grain and the byproducts of our mills. All of these by-products and a much larger share of the grain ought to be converted into meat and dairy products on the farms of the United States, instead of going to enrich the farms of foreign countries to the detriment of our own. 5 system of farming that affords mora grass and more barn yard manure is one that will return a larger output of grain from smaller areas of tillable land. It is a system that will sustain the productive capacity of the soil. It is a system that conserves the greatest of all natural resources—soil fertility. it *, There is seldom a time when the crops of the farm cannot be fed to good farm animals, when properly handled, at greater profit than to haul them to the elevators. In many instances the returns are from 50 to 100 per cent greater than from selling grain. Sometimes they are lower, but the immediate returns are not the only consideration. We have come to a period when all the products of the farm must be utilized. The corn fodder and the straw must not be wasted. They must be largely used on the farm. To build silos and increase the amount of live stock will afford a way of utilizing these products that will enlarge the output of the farm and add to its fertility and productiveness. It is possible by this system to have more grain to sell and more to feed, than under a ing grain alone system of sell­ and wasting the its feeding value. In a lot of one acre nine pigs averaging 92 pounds apiece made 634 pounds of pork from September 10 to November 17. This lot had a vory average stand of rape, in fact only around the edges was the rape very good, but the corn was as good or better than the average. The returns if figured low were close to $45 or $50 and the only labor expended was the time it took to water the hogs. Therefore the profit from that acre of corn would inspire most any farmer to sow more rape next year and hog down more corn. There is another crop to use with corn which is close to rape, but which takes slightly more work to raise and this is soy beans. These must be sowed or drilled in the corn rows and plowed with the corn. They should be drilled about as soon as the corn is planted and one inch shallower, henoe will not injure the corn hill. This requires that all corn be ploweJ one way, but the beans ibake a good crop and the results in pork it the corn in hogged down pays for the trouble. An acre of corn last fall which was scarcely more than twothirds as good as the acre in which the rape was sown made 451 pounds of pork from September 10 to October 29. While this in money value is $15 below the returns from the other lot it was due largely to the poor stand of corn. Also it would be possible to use soy beans, the Early Yellow variety always, for planting in the corn rows if the corn were to be cut for silage. The binder will get most of the beans as they stand up well and they add much to the feeding value of the silage. Cow peas are also good for hog pasture, but just as good for the silo, mainly because they pack in better than soy beans. The peas should be drilled in the corn rows Just as the beans were. One-half bushel per acre, at a cost of $3 per bushel, will make a good stand and cause very little trouble in cultivating the corn. The best variety is the Whipporwill. When cut with the corn binder they are in Just as good a stage as the corn to make good silage. The value of a crop of this sort is the increase of protein which the peas and beans carry. Corn carries the fattening properties, but these add much and If put in the silo we should remember that the old cow does not need 35 or 40 pounds next winter, but five pounds less will answer her requirements. Also less gluten feed and less oil meal will need to be bought. These are crops which all farmers should look to for the most profit and while the two story farming idea is coming sooner or later it need not deplete the soil of its fertility If the rotation is handled intelligently. Figures from past experiences show its value and the many corn growers who are in a position to try the plan this season of making a little more profit of the space betweeu the corn rows, if they do so intelligently, are quite sure to make money.—Iowa Agriculturist. fe" 1 Oae Short Horn rough­ age.

WJ The Fireproof Roof Sparks or even live coals have no effect on a Vulcanite roof. It is recognized by the fire underwriters as a safeguard against loss, and this feature alone makes it worth many times its cost in times of emergency. But while your roof may be called upon to withstand fire once in a lifetime, it is called upon to resist the weather every day. Frost and rain, and hail and sleet, and snow and drought and heavy winds all combine every year in an attack on your property. The five best ready roofings in the United States were placed on test freight cars by the Harrunan lines. These test cars were run all over the country for a period of over two years. The roofs had to stand every variety of weather the country can produce and a continual fire test in the shape of hve spark* and coals from the engine. No Painting ^Repairs Woven Roofing' was the one roof that made good and was officially adopted by the Harriman lines for freight cars. The Hock Island lines also use Vulcanite as a result of a similar test. It is a significant tact, that without lepairs or paintine of any kind, the test cars are still in use. Your buildings will never be called on to resist any more severe tests than these freight cars were exposed to and the fan that Vulcanite alone Mirvtved out of the five acknowledged roofing leaders of the country should be a strong recommendation to you, to at least investigate Vulcanite before you buy another brand.

Mr. Ruschling stopped to pick up the old gentleman and his team was caught near Foley's barn. The oats were not spilled and the only aamage done was a broken tongue and double trees. Mr. Welderstein was not hurt but his buggy was badly jammed up. Do Ghost* flaunt Swamps? No, never.

On the morning of the 20th I was ordered to take 15 men and a corporal and follow the line of march of the division and the batteries and ammunition Wagons and gather up and bring forward all who might fall out of ranks. It was a very hot day, and as the line of march was through woods the shade was some protection. We had advanced several miles, and the batteries and ammunition teams could follow the division's line of march no farther because of obstructions and had to move oft to the left, and did not join the division until the battle was over and the victory won. I concluded my orders required ma to follow the line of march of the division, and I did so. We had gathered about 60 who had fallen out on account of the heat, and came to the creek about 11 a. m. We crossed, and the valley beyond was from 200 to 400 yards wide and was covered with growing corn. We found a spring and a shady place, and halted Jor dinner, writes Joseph B. Newburg, nergeant Company I., Seventy-ninth Ohio, now residing in Montana, in .the National Tribune. After eating'I wont up on a hill near the right flank of the Fourth corps, and, looking down the valley, caught sight of our headQuarters, flag. I gathered my mei, and we got there as quickly as -tf"e could. It was now about 3 p. m., and there was a rapid skirmish on the ridge on the east side and our division in line of battle at .its base. I sent the men that I had. gathered to their commands, and then,: as bullets were flying around us, I 5fas ordered to take a few prisoners that had been captured back across the creek and out of range. got my men, and with the prisoners started toward a big cottonwood log that lay across the channel of the creek. As I neared the log a soldier passed me with his gun and all of his. equipments. He had but a few. steps to go Xd1 Pitched Forward on His Face, Dead. to reach the log, when he pitched forward on his face dead. After getting up on the ridge on the western side I sent my men with the corporal and prisoners a little way up the creek Into a wooded ra','ine, where they would be entirely out of danger from the bullets. I then took my position where I could see the whole line of our division as it charged up the ridge, and the battle roar began at about 4 o'clock p. m. A short time afterward a fine young soldier of Company C, for whoBe fa ther I had built a water sawmill in Clinton county, Ohio, In 1848, caipe near to me without either gun ojr Bquipments, and turned to look at the Dght. Before he had stood there a minute a bullet struck him on the. right thigh, and he died six days aft-, erwards. At about 7 p. m. the rattle Df the rifle fire slacked, and the shoutq of victory came loud across the valley. Early in the morning I went tp where the dead were gathered for. burial, and counted 214 dead df our] division and 468 of the Confederates that our men had gathered. Th6 fcause of such a difference In loss was that den. Hood sent his lines three or four lines deep in the charge, and six companies of the One Hundred and Fifth' Illinois were armed with the Henry rifles. Company used the Spencer rifle. One of the captains I had as prisoner told me that they learnedDf the gap in our lines on the morning of the 20th, and thought they' would come out through It and swingi und gather a few Acorns (the badge, »f the Fourteenth corps), but when, they came to the gap they saw ln-i itead the Stars (badge) of the TWeo-l tieth coma. 1 ^-w^/riSw-T.-r'ri.vrtei^-i' SMALLER ARTICLES OF DRESS Touches That Add Effectiveness tf Costume May Easily Be Made by the Amateur. This year there are many dress accessories, smart little articles, which may be made by the amateur with little trouble. Among the attractive and desirable dress Items that may be made by the home needlewoman are the evening bags in brocade, without fittings, of course, but of a size capacious enough to hold the separate toilet articles which might be required at an evening gathering. There are numerous forms of muffs which, in this season of in­ dividual fur combinations, and of those uniting velvet and cloth, or cloth and fur, or plain and beaver cloth, the amateur will have no dlfBculty In making.' Or there are fichus that' are simple to make, and evening scarfs, mantelettes, and Bhoulder-capes, any of which will prove a most useful addition to the wardrobe of the average woman. Two and one-half yards of flve-lnch lace, or deeper one and a quarter yards of slightly deeper lace for the flchu ends also, one and a quarter yards of insertion, four inches wide, together with a half-yard of black tulle for the lining, and a yard of ribbon velvet for the bow (though it may be made with less)—will make the fashionable mantelette here pictured, for a figure of medium size. The time required for the light sewing Necessary for such work at most would be three hours. OTES For girls plaids will not be as m%ch Cavored ^s".stripes and checks with material triinnjing. Some of the' l&test girdles are very wide, six to eight inches.tn front and three inches lefcs In the back.

Black velvet sashes are considered rery stylish, caught with a., diamond suckle, using very light-weight velvet. ... The newest Dutch collar closes In tie back and has a flve-lnch plaited labot over the front from the neck Idge. Many of the new laces show a combination of filet and point de Venis. This last lace is extremely fashionl.ble. Collarless necks are used for lingerie dresses and blouses, and for certain of the silk gowns for daytime ivear. Short-waisted blouse coats are f.mong early spring models. They are especially becoming to Juniors and frissea.

ADRIAN C. ANSON. Coj» rleht. 1911, by tho HcClur* NVwypunpr STrdlp&'c 11 Britain and CHAPTER III. I Win My First Baseball Triumph. Although I succeeded after returning from college in impressing father with the belief that in his baseball loving son he had an heir who was really worth while, most of the good citizens of Marshalltown did not agree with him. If the vote had been taken I should probably have been branded as a pretty poor excuse of a boy, with never a serious thought for anything except the new game. Of course I had lots of friends—such boys always do have—but they were all of the kind that liked sport better than the regulation business life. I didn't "pass unnoticed by" anyhow, I was continually doing something to promote gossip, making some grand stand play that kept the Aneon family in the publlo eye. One of my efforts in this direction—one which came very near resulting in a riotwas the direct result of my devotion to baseball. Father had given the 1'"^ for a public square In the center of jthe town, and it had been beautified with trees and a good deal of shrubbery. It was really beginning to a very fair park and the people wore taking a good deal of pride in it when, one day, I conceived the idea that it would make a first class ball ground. The more I thought ot It the more attractive the scheme became, and I finally resolved to carry it out without asking the advloe of any one. I had never, shown a decided fondness for the xx, but one morning I rose at early daybreak and went to work at those trees with a "move on" that would have astonished the good folks who believed that the only kind of hard labor I would tackle was baseball. By the time people were stirring I had cleared a space in that carefully tended public resort big enough to play ball in, and the evidences of my vandalism were scattered all over the plot. Did I hear anything drop? I don't mind telling you that I did. If the citizens of that law-abiding town had followed their eaF-ii^st impulseB I should probably have been lynched. I don't think I have ever been the object of 60 much Indignant criticism, even on the NO OR, SULTAN COUJC2AR» LD HAVE BEEW MORE A05Olute W.ff ball field. It seemed to me that about every man, woman and child in town rose up and called me—just the opposite of blessed. Even the universal craze for the game which had seized the place was forgotten In the spasm of outraged civic virtue that confronted me. And Just about that time a fresh possibility—one that I had neglected to consider carefully—stood out before me in a threatening attitude. How would the old gentleman over In the hotel on the opposite side of the square, the publlo-splrited cltleen who had donated the land to the town, take it? It struck me all in a heap that there might be something doing In that direction. So It was with fear and trembling that 1 sneaked back to the Anson house. To mjr great surprise and relief the old gentleman did not take sides with the town people. Instead of that he actually commended me jfor what. I had done, declaring that the' ground couldn't be put to better use. Then he proposed that we take the team right over and dedicate the new ball ground with a good stiff practice. Even before Sturgls and I went to Notre Dame the Marshalltown baseball team had made quite a reputation throughout the state. At Waterloo, where a tournament waa held In 1867, our players had beaten everything that stood up against them. At Belle Plalne, the following year, they put In an appearance to contest for a silk flag offered by the ladles ot that town, and raoh waa their fame that the other olubs refused to enter the oontott- unless they were allowed the odd^of six Bfttout as against the regu- lar three. Uven with this handicap the Marshalltown boys bore off the flag in triumph. When they got home the whole town turned out to receive ^them. There was certainly a hot time in the old town that night. I shall never forget the feeling of envy that filled my youthful breast when I saw how those fallows were treated while I, who was only a member of the Junior nine, couldn't come in for a slice of it. Just before we went to Notre Dame Sturgis and I were promoted to the first nine, and it was a proud day for us when we took our places with the team. With father playing third base, my brother at centerfleld and myself on second base, the Anson family was fairly well represented on that pioneer organization, and as the team held the state championship for several years it Is only fair to infer that the Ansons did their share of the good work. While we were at Notre Dame— I'm not saying that our absence had anything to do with It, although lots of other folks did say so—that Marshalltown team struck a hoodoo. I shall never forget how hot I was when the news came to us at school that the Des Moines team had gone to Marshalltown and captured that flag, which we had all come to regard as our own exclusive property. I am not saying that I studied very hard on any day, but I don't mind telling you that I quit altogether when that tough news came, and so did Sturgls. From that time until the close of the year we spent all our recreation periods, and any other time we could manage to appropriate, in hard practice. Our chief aim in life at that moment was to snatch that trophy from the hands of the enemy. About the first thing I did after I reached home was to start In to reorganize the heme team. Everybody jwaa feeling mighty glum over the fall down of the olub, but I put on a cheerful front and soon succeeded in reviving some of the old symptoms. Father took off his coat and jumped right In with a whqpp, and ft wasn't long before we had things humming. I didn't wait for anybody to ask me to assume the direction of the business I waded Hght in on my own responsibility, and no one seemed to object. When I recall the arbitrary manner in which I run that ball business it makes me smile no czar or sultan could have been more absolute. How those mature citizens submitted to be dictated to by a mere boy like'"myself Is more that I can understand. I guess my nerve must have hypnotized them. When I thought It was time to turn the trick we challenged the Dea Moines team for the trophy, and It •was arranged that we should go to the capital and try to capture It. When we went to the railroad station to take the train almost the entire population of the town turned out to see us off and I realized the big responsibility the Anson family had shouldered so cheerfully. It made me shudder. to think what would happen should we be obliged to return without that trophy. For Just a moment I weakened I wondered if I hadn't been just a little bit fresh in putting myself Into such a position. Only a moment, however my nerva came back as quickly as It went, and With it an extra supply that made me feel the victory was already ours. '"Get ready for a big blowout tonight!" I called out as. the trol^pulled out. At that^moment*the possibility of defeat never occurred to me. That trophy was already won and once again in the possession of Its legitimate owtk ers. Fortunately for me,. It turned out that way. We carried that conquering* hero front right into the heart of the hostile hosts that awaited us. On our arrival at the capital we found almost as much excitement as we had left behind us. Our preparation to retake the trophy had been no secret, and the Des Moines team knew that the battle would be a hot one. .Never was a game .more fiercely contested. Excitement ran so high that we were on the point of being mobbed several times. I don't mind telling you that the Anson family came in for a lion's share of the popular criticism. Father was at his best that day and really played a game that would have qualified him for membership on a league team. He and I were on the bases and Sturgis was in the field doing splendid work. It was a great day for the Anson boys, including dad. We won, too. When we returned to the old town that night, with grimy faces and throats semi-paralyzed by constant yelling, the proprietor of the Anson house carried that coveted silken trophy pinned safely to his Bhlrt front At first sight of that symbol of our victory the Marshalltown pub* lice went Into spasms of delight. We were welcomed as heartily and aa vociferously as if we had saved the t?wn trosLgome. ruthless Invader.. If there had been any keys to offer us 1 •m sure we. should have had the freedom of the. city. As it was, we had the best the town afforded and every* thing waa wide open and free aa heaven's breeaee. I don't mind tellIng you that It was a great night tor the -Anson, family. And I truly believe that I .was forgiven then and there, by the most obdurate for turning the town park Into a baseball grounds. CHAPTER IV. I Enter the Professlenal Ranks. I am not saying that I should probably have chosen some other life work if the professional Forest Olty Baseball club ot Rockford, III., had not happened to stop over at Marshall* town while on one of Its exhibition tonus through Iowa after the olose of the, regular season,, but the fact re- maTns thaf It" was tTiie to tnar crrcumstance that I made my entry into tho professional game at the time I did. How the Forest. Oitys happened to come to Marshalltown is mother story. I have seen several amtisiti? versions of it in the newspaper"! but 1 11 1 1 1 1 A -•'-i.rt DOUBLED it hab always struck me that the story told by A. G. Spalding, who was the pitcher for the Forest Citys at the time, is the most romantic. It may lack substance, but it is so picturesque that I will give it. "Back in the early seventies." says Spalding, "I was playing with the Forest Citys of Rockford, 111., which was that season one of the strongest teams in the country. One day during the summer we received a letter from a man who signed himself Anson. It was written at Marshalltown. Ia., and its object was to secure a visit from the Forest Citys to Marshalltown. Mr. Anson modestly stated in his letter that they had a baseball team at that place whose members were of the firm •ad unanimous opinion that they could under the most favorable circumstances play the Forest Citys several close games. If we would fix upon a few dates'In the near future Mr. Anson's club would insure us a warm Welcome to Marshalltown and a lively time while we tarried 'within their hospitable gates. "The result was an acceptance and the naming of a date for the following •week. When the time came our team, accompanied by half a dozen Chicago drummers, ran over to Marshalltown to have some fun with the country team. "As soon as we got to the hotel the Chicago drummers began to look around for some bets on the game. Somewhat to their surprise, they had no trouble to find numerous men and citizens of Marshalltown ready to back their club at odds. The favorite bet was even money that we would not beat the home team two to one. "By the time the game began our players and the Chicago drummers had covered about all the spare money there was in the town, and excitement ran high. Business was practically suspended for the afternoon and everybody went to the ball ground to see the great contest. "One-third of the home nine was composed of the Ansons. The old man played first base, one son played third and his other son' guarded second base. And I assure you they made a formidable Infield. "Before the first inning was over Anson pere almost scared me senseless. I was pitching and the old man was the first man to face me. The ball was new and rather hard to handle. The first ball delivered went dangerously close to Pa Anson's head. He dodged and then gave me a look which sent the blood to my heart In a rush. The look unnerved me. for the second ball pitched hit him with a 'dull, sickening thud' In the vicinity of the short ribs. "It doubled him up for a moment and then he made a dash toward me with his bat in hand. I am satisfied now that I would have fled at his awful approach had my strength not been paralyzed by the terror of the situation. As it was, my inability to budge probably saved me. Holding his bat In one hand and shaking the other fist under my nose Mr. Anson shoulted, 'Young fellow, did you do that on purpose?' "I assured him on my honor that it was an accident, and after receiving an abject apology he returned to the plate muttering and shaking his head. Throughout all the game thereafter I kept the ball well away from his gigantic person. "Well, we beat them, I think by the •core of 17 to. 8. The Ansons had lost, all the spare cash they could raise. The town was filled with gloom that night, for the Ansons were mighty in that oo mm unity and the citizens mourned with tho Ansons over their lois." Now I shouldn't give so much space to this story were It for the fact that the author of It la so largely In the publlo eye, has shown himself to be such a many-aided man and Is so Inseparably connected with the rlso and progress of the game In thla country. Famous aa a baseball player, successful as a dealer In sporting goods, a winner In the political field— all that Is going some but when the final glory of literary genius is added —there's a total for youl Of oourse It adds a lot to the Interest of the story to know that my father always declared It to be pure fiotlpo, but that doesn't lessen the author's reputation as an artist.

Slll?: 'I v'4v isli showed up, and they wanted to wager their simoleons that we would be beaten by a score of from 8 to 20 to 1. They found a good many takers among tho town folks, who had a lot of confidence in our ability to hold the Forest Citys' score down to a low figure. Tho whole town turned loose to see tho game, and the home team felt conelderably elated when, at the end of the ninth Inning, the score stood at 1 to 3 in the enemy's favor. The visitors and their following were disgusted with the good showing we made, and they wanted to arrange for another game next day, offering to cancel a game ..already scheduled. At that second game they beat us by a score of 35 to 5. and my father always declared that they did It by recovering the liveliest kind of a "Bounding Rock" ball with a 'Ryan, dead balP cover. I didn't see them do it, but I do remember that the stitching oh. that ball was different from anything I had ever seen. It was a mighty clever trick if they really did It. Anyway, they made the' discovery that we could play ball: That same fall, when Rockford was organizing a new professional team, father received a bid for tho whole Anson family. Of course he could not leave his business even to become a professional ball player, and he needed Sturgls to help him so I was the only available vAnson, and I signed with the Forest Citys at a salary of $66 a month, which In those days was regarded as fairly good pay for a ball player, especially one who was only eighteen and a novice. Two other members of the team I had organized, Sager and Haskins* were also engaged, to play «n the Rockford team, and I looked at that as a tribute to the Anson baseball judgment. 1 'Vs 111 iiflp I® about selecting V' the feed you give your chicks Success depends much on this move.

At least it has seemed that way to us farmers of northern Iowa. Here and there you may see fields and even farms so overrun with quack grass that they are left idle. Usually these are rented farms and not very well drained. One reads much of easy ways of killing it out, such as covering it with tar paper or burying it deep in manure, but when it Is spread in generous spots over a quarter section these methods do not appeal to me as being exactly applicable. I started farming on a quarter section that was badly infested with quack grass. Several acres had not been plowed for years because of it. Inside of two years we had every bit of ihe farm iir crops. The first thing we did was to tile the fields. There is no use trying to fight quack grass in soil so wet a plow will not scour. If you will notice, that is where it usually starts. On level fields you can oftentimes trace the sticky places by the stretches of quack grass. The tiling took so much of our time the first summer that all we could do to the quack grass was to mow and burn it and later plow it up. The next spring war began in earnest. We chose an 18 acre field badly spotted with the grass, on which to begin. It was like working sheep skins with the wool on but we fitted the field for corn as best we could. At first a disk would not touch it so we plowed it again, crossing the old furrows. This cut the sod into 16-inch squares, making them an easier size to roft around than whole furrows. Then we disked it so many times that the horses used to sigh whenever they even looked that way. Between disklngs we harrowed it and shoveled it over twice ..with corn plows. As a result of our labors we raked up and burned several loads of the underground stems we usually call roots. They were so thick we had to do it because they bothered the planter so much. After all this work, when we planted the piece to corn, May 25, the sods were still so plentiful and so twugh that the worst plaoes the planter shoes would not go into the ground or cover the corn at all. We followed the planter with the corn plow in three or four days and blind plowed the piece. Just as the corn began peeping through we harrowed it. HOW TO GET RID OF THE QUACK GRASS From this time on we plowed the corn just as in the other fields, taking care to rip out the grass even if it cost a hill now and then. At first it seemed as though all this work only encouraged the grass to do better, like scratching a pig's back. But as we plowed the corn we noticed the vitality waning. Each time it started more slowly and after we laid the corn by, July 5, the quack grass had hardly started at all. One Farmer Tells How He Succeeded in Getting Rid of the Weed—Cultivation Is Most Practical Way —Must Finish the Job. False Quack Gras As a resul of our work, all the quack grass you could find in the field last fall was an occasional bunch in a corn hill. This spring we are plowing this field for another corn crop, expecting to about complete the eradication of the weed this season. It took a whole lot of work but the crop repaid us for that and the quack is so nearly killed that it will not Interfere with this year's crop at all. Had we plowed the ground early the first fall, say AuguBt, and then worked it to keep it from growing, our work last spring would have been lessened a whole lot and probably the quack grass would have bad less vitality stored up with which to fight. We are trying several acres In another field In that manner that will put In corn this year. This piece we plowed right after the barley was taken oft last summer. Our whole method of getting rid of the pest has been to cultivate It out. I know some of our authorities will hold up their hands In holy horror at that statement and tell you you must smother it out, for cultivation will only spread it. That may True Quack Grass. be true If you only go part way. Fighting quack grass is one place where "well begun" is worse than nothing at all if you don't finish the job. But if followed up there is no doubt but that cultivation is the most practical way of handling quack grass. Several pieces have been killed out in this way in our neighborhood. The whole secret of success is wrapped up in everlasting keeping at it with the old spirit of "never say fail," always in mind. Because it will yield to cultivation if given enough, its reign of terror will soon end in th corn belt, for it is in the wet, uncultivated fields it gains foothold. Once the field la drained and under thorough cultivation with a crop rotation of two consecutive crops of corn, quack grass cannot get a start in the field.—Iowa Agriculturist. FARM CONDITIONS NOT IDEAL Disadvantage of Forestry Reserve Farms in West Told by Man Who Has Been There. By R. L. BARRETT. Iowa Agricultural College. Since the United States senate passed the act of June 11, 1906, which gave people an opportunity to take homesteads in the national forests, there has been a large influx of people from all parts of the country to the western forests. Reports from districts adjacent to the forests have been exaggerated to such an extent that the true condition prevailing in many districts is hidden. People acquainted with conditions in the east are unable to realize that two districts or valleys separated by a natural barrier may differ in rainfall, length of growing season and adaptation to crops. Not only are these features of great Importance to the prospective settler, but the productive capacity of the soil, cost of clearing, and the distance from dependable markets must all be carefully considered. The growth is the best indicator of soil. Pine lands are always sandy or gravelly and dry and are unfit for the production of agricultural crops. Land which affords a good growth of fir and larch is of a better character and may be depended upon to be fertile for several years. The best indicator of rl.ch soil Is the alder. It grows only upon rich, moist, loamy soli. Seldom are these soils sour, as Is the case with the rich bottom lands on which cedar and spruce thrive best. Ail though spruce and cedar land can be sweetened, the time and labor when reduced to dollars and cents would be prohibitive. We are all familiar with the circulars sent out by the so-called chambers of commerce In the little western towns. They call attention in a flattering way to the great bargains to be had In cut over land. Often It is offered at four or six dollars an acre and one would be led to believe that clearing the land of stumps Is an Incidental feature In the building of a home. This is far from being the case. In the Kootenai national forest It is estimated that the cost of clearing land of stumps amounts to from $50 to $75 per acre. When the stumps are from ten to fifteen years old this figure Is somewhat less but It Is safe to say that under the most favorable conditions the cost will exceed $80 per acre. The larger the stumps the greater the cost. Sometimes stumps are not the only thing to consider. Much of the land Is covered with dense growths of alder, birch and service berry. These are all shallow rooters which make a dense growth both above and below the ground. To clear the land without damaging the soil is a problem. Often it Is necessary to burn these trees where they have fallen In order to kill out the roots and root sprouts. Such a practice deprives the land of most of Its organic matter, leaving it light in color, hard to work, and with a tendency to dry out and bake badly. One season is required for this operation and no returnB whatever are derived from the land.

WHAT CAN BE DONE BY AN EAR OF CORN Actual Test in the Field Is Only Sure Way to Find Out If Ear Will Reproduce as Good Corn as Itself—Boy's Remarkable Results. The Mother Ear and Five Daughters, First Season. By P. C. TOPF, Iowa Agricultural College. After all, if we could ask an ear ot corn about two questions. It would be an easy task to pick the best ear of seed corn. Starting with a good ear let us ask It, first: Will you yield well? Second: Will you reproduoe ears as good or better than yourself? Experiments have shown that ears of corn have different a*bllltles to do these things and that they vary just as much as do animals. It has been further shown that the appearance of an ear Is not a reliable guide on these points. The actual test In the field Is the only sure way. We wish to mention briefly how a boy got some remarkable results by this method. When the boy's and girl's work began In the spring of 1909, Earls Zeller of Cooper, a thirteen-year-old boy, planted ten good ears In Individual rows for an "ear to the row test." He planted about one-fourth of each ear and the remainder was saved on the cob. The ears were good ones, the samples having won premiums at several shows, but no one of them had any prolhise of being a better producer than Its mates. When harvest time came In the fall, young Zeller found that ear No. 7 of his plot had yielded 118 bushes per acre. Not only did It have this bumper yield to its credit, but he also noticed that this row had produced ears that were remarkably ilke the ear from which the row was planted, or the mother ear. He selected five good ears from this row and these with the mother ear he showed at the joint contest at Ames in January, 1910. They won the The Same Mother Ear and Five Daughters, Second Season. NEW VETERINARY EQUIPMENT Facilities Will Enable State College to Develop Many Branches Heretofore Neglected. By C. H. 8TANGE. Head of Veterinary Division. The new veterinary building at Iowa State college Is simply an Indication of the progress that is being made In the care and treatment of domestic animals, as well as In live stock sanitation. The new buildings to be erected during 1911 will accommodate the DR. C. H. 8TANGE. Head of Veterinary Department at Ames. entire veterinary division and will make It possible to develop many of the branches heretofore necessarily remaining undeveloped on account of lack of facilities. The work will be at orfce more practical and thorough and Increased laboratory iaciUtlts grand championship from a large number of entries. This was a good test for one year. If this could be repeated and results obtained for another year It would be a double test. I'hat Is what Earle Zeller did. In the spring of 1910 he planted a row in his breeding block from this same ear he had partly used In 1909. Last fall he found that It had this year yielded 116 bushels per acre and had retained the same uniformity In Its offspring that It had shown the year before. He again selected five ot the best ears from this row and exhibited them with the mother ear at the junior contest at Ames in January, 1911, and for the second time won the grand championship in this olaas. The value of such an ear of corn oan hardly be overestimated. Think of having a bushel of such ears, or enough to plant an entire crop. This ear has proven that It will yield, and there la every reason to believe that Its progeny will be heavy yleldera also. In a year or two this boy can have several bushels of seed from this ear. It is safe to say that in every farmer's seed corn there are eara that will produce from 20 to 50 bushels per acre more with the same stand than other ears which may look just as good. The only method of finding these is to plant a number of individual rows each year and weed out the ears that do not produce. It Is the same process that we use with animals when we discard the poor breeders.—Iowa Agriculturist. ty! $ vs will make a practical application of the theoretical knowledge possible. That the division of veterinary medicine can be of inestimable value to the live stock industry when once properly situated. Is an undisputed fact. Thousands of dollars' worth of valuable live stock is lost every year as a result of preventable diseases alone. The frequent outbreaks of mould poisoning among horses is but one of the many examples of the preventable losses. The great progress made In recent years in the prevention of hog cholera is another example of what can be done by thorough scientific work along these lines. This discovery alone Is destined to save the hog raisers of this country millions of dollars. The preparation of qualified Inspectors to guard the public by rigid inspection of meats and meat producers is a task which falls upon the veterinary colleges of this country. Thousands of men are already employed by the United States government for this work and the eradication of contagious diseases In the western part of the United States. The largest and most important question, that of tuberculosis in domestic animals, must be solved by a co-operation of the veterinarians and the live stock Interests. It is a question which must be solved by education accompanied by reasonable legislation. These and many other questions must be solved and with new equipment the division of veterinary medicine will be in a position to take a leading part In their solution. The laboratories will be equipped with the most modern and up-to-date equipment and the cMnlcal building will contain all the modern conveniences for the care and treatment of diseased animals. The wards will aocommodate, when completed, about 70 patients, including kennels for dogs, cow stalls, et*. In another year Iowa State colleg« can pride herself In having one of the best equipped and most up-to-date veterinary colleges of this, if not of all countries. BEING I 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 bouse 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," salj} 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 letier' 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 1 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 as 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'B the point? But tell me—If all that performance Is only a money order, what In the world' t* a registered letter?"

Department of Agriculture in declaring one of the Chemist's greatest discoveries as of no value is far reaching in its effect. The use of Saccharin as an economic sweetening agent in thirty or more food products is to be abandoned. Saccharin has been used to sweeten canned corn, peas and potatoes, sarsaparilla, Cream Soda, and other soft beverages champagne and liquors. Its use will be unlawful after July 1,1911. Saccharin has a chemical name, benzoic sulfinide. It is extensively used in households, to sweeten the food of diabetic subjects, an extremely small tablet being equal in sweetness to a large lump of sugar when used in coffee, tea or cocoa. Pure saccharin ia 550 times as sweet as sugar. A sweet taste may be imparted to 70,000 parts of water.— Albert H. Worth B. S., In Scientic American May 20th.
