For the 46th time in succession this city did honor to the oecasiion and still it was the first one that the boys were not allowed to shoot flre crackers inside city limits on that ,/^day. Mayor liendlernan had oarus of *V "Warning" printed in large type and hung in many places about the town Tailing the boys that it was considered dangerous on account of the dry weather to shoot fire crackers, and they heeded warning like little men and we venture the assertion that not a cracker was shot by any boy who had informed himself on the languages on that card. Everything passed off quietly, the ©annon's mouth excepted, which Captain Bam Ham so ably caused to "speak up" in ushering in the day and in noting its departure. The attractions and the "Marathon" races, which interested the boys for instance and the fat m«n in particular. Some of the later (of which we have a large class) made new records this year. Mr. Barnholdt who has been champion so long gave way to superior ability and same in third. This was humiliating to Herman and will inspire the vanquished with a spirit of rivalry that will probably be tried out on Old Settler's Day, which will perhaps be sometime in August. The oration was certainly a master pisoe of oratory. The singing by "Exira's best'' was very fine and in line •with the entertainment generally. The Exira Concert Band gathers strength as the weather becomes hotter and elicits your intuitive applause, they certainly did their part of the program well. Taking it altogether the safe and fsane fourth is the one to be patronized hereafter. Celebration Comments "**The parade was talr especially that part of it where Editor Lance lot represented the new arrivals to the "Journal family" and young America by wheeling biB little granddaughters, Marguerite and Mar-jorie Wilson iu their double perambulator. The patriotic songs were well prepared and well rendered by the singers. Many were present from out of the city to help celebrate. The band reeled off some good ones during the day. The paid attractions were well re ."••• ceived. The stands had a generous supply of goods on band consequently all had a good trade. The two Johns made good marfihals. Not a drunk man was seen. Not an arrest was mads during the day. Everybody was happy and glad they were there. The day was an ideal one, mercury at 3:00 p. m. registered 100 in the •hade with a nice breeze stirring things. Icecream and lemonade were the luxuries that were greaily in demand On account of the drouth the fireworks were not sent off. A test trial of the pasture proved it unwise. Wherever a spark came in contact with the grass a fire started and cnany large patches were burnt. Prostrated By Heat A. A. Seibert was overcome by heat yesterday afternoon while taking down his stand. He was hurried *to Dr. Jacobson's office where be received prompt assistance after which he was removed to his home and is resting as easy as could be «xpected. I. E.

WIOTA RECORD A Paper With Brains Behind It. A Medium By Which Farmers And Townsmen Will Build.. The Wiota Record, a bright little paper, edited and published by R. J. Cornell came to our table last week. The paper is five columns, eight pages and is ae full of spice as a nut is full of meat. The business men of Wiota should be proud of the effort on the part of Mr. Cornell and patronize the paper quite liberally. Every word printed in the Record in fa vor of the to wa costs the editor, time to write the copy, expanse to sat it in type, ink to print it in, paper to spread it on, mailing the issue (and if favored as are the most of us) an outlay of muscle to carry it to the post office. AVIATORS IN TROUBLE The Bunch Of International Aviators That So Systematically Grafted Atlantic In Trouble In Indiana Marion, Ind., June *28—Rene Simon, Bene Barrier, Captain Friable and the entire outfit and managers of the International Aviators Company landed in the oounty jail here last night and are still there in default of bonds. They are alleged to have failed to keep their contract and to have secured a guarantee fund by promises and agreements whioh tbey made no offer to fulfill. Despite the efforts of the committee here to make them at leatt try to fly, they offered excuses and refused to do it. The above special will be of big interest in Atlantic as this is the same bunch which victimized this city, carrying off the guarantee fund and making very small effort to carry out the terms of the oontract. The progress of the case against the outfit will be watchcjd with interest. —Atlantic Daily Telegraph. BOOSTING With Good Roads Radiating From Extra's Limits Like Rivers From The Lakes. Exira did not know what was in store for her when that delegation went to Des Moines to try and get the River to River Road established thro Exira. Since that time many River to River Roads have been platted and worked up. Now another new road is being esblished. The objective points being Hamburg to Spirit Lake via of Red Oak, Lewis, Atlantic, Exira, Audubon and Carroll We hope these good roads may be built in and out, in all directions for Exira- the city beautiful—will do all in her power to assist knowing that travelers thro our pretty forests and along our cooling creek ultimately to come into our neat and tidy city where clean hotels aud restaurants are ever read to cater to the hungry and thirsty, the road and its environments lead through Exira, HI With Appendicitis Mrs. C. L. McAninch was taken quite violently ill Tuesday morning with appendicitis but is some better at this writing.

Recently we traveled over a fine stretch of new road being worked up by eight horses, three men and a grader. The work they did was beautiful and almost perfect to the eye but upon careful examination it revealed the fact that the center was simply sod that was worked up from the sides, which of itself spoils the entire road bed. Sod should never be utilized in road making. It is tilling to be sure, but from the time the roots of sod is cut off, till a perfect disintegration is reached, sod is a soft spongy mass of decaying vegetation and when soaked full ot water in the center of a nicely graded road produces a soft center. The water oozing therefrom softens the sides to such an extent that the wheels of vehicles cut deep into the mud.

EXIRA, IOWA, THUBSBAY, JULY 6, 1911. $1.00 PER YEAR NEW APTO LAW We Must Respect This New Law. It's Made For Our Convenience and To Fully Protect and Appease. The new Auto Law went into effect July4tb. There are 28,000 motor vehicles and 1000 dealers in all Iowa. All these machines not out of use or sold outof the state must be registered. The annual fees under the new law are as follows: For motor cycles $3.00 for an automobile with steam or electric power 115.00 an automobile with gas engine of 20 horse power $8.00 and 40 cents for each additional horse power above 20. To determine the horse power take the diameter of the cylinder to the engine, multiply it by itself, then by the number of cylinders, then divide by 2. Motors that have been in use for four years or more are entitled to registration at half price. No one has any rigbt to operate a machine under a dealer's number except the dealer himself or his employees, not for a single day. LOOTING ALASKA will Stop. Important Decision Will Effect Every American Citizen. Alaska Is Ours At Last By the recent decision of the Department of the Interior, the much persecuted Gifford, Plnchot and Glavis are vindicated. They contended the Cunningham claims to the great coal fields of Alaska were not valid, that fraud and collusion were practiced in obtaining them. Tbey put a strong fight against a powerful oorporatiou which was backed up by the administration. The looting of Alaska is now halted because ot this decision. The people have spoken. Pinchot and Glavis were right. The Congressional Committee were not right in deciding against the nation's trusted servants. It's now for Congress to settle this question for all time. HANK IS INGENIOUS Henry McNeeley Builds an Immense Fly Trap. Furhishes Interesting Statistics Henry McNeeley, the South Side Restaurant man, has constructed a fly trap about three feet high and in one afternoon caught (by estimation) 3,250,000 flies. Now for statistics: Each healthy fly (and they are all healthy) raises a progeny of 250 young at a time, and six families in a season thus making 1500 from one fly. Each fly has six legs each leg travels over filth every day and gathers at least 2,000 microbes per leg, or 12,000 per fly. Now, let's see what good Henry has done in a half day: 3,250,000 times 1,500 makeB 4,875,000,000 flies multiply this by 12,000 makes "Hank'' the benefactor to mankind by the extermination of 58,500,000,000,000 microbes—but hold on, we are getting dizzy. MOKAI.—Everybody "go thou and do likewise." Mr. McNeeley says there is no patent on this, and all are welcome. Mr. Roosevelt says he has had a good run for hie money.

"CAP" ANSON'S FORTY YEARS IN BASEBALL Dedicated to all my old comrades and lovers of the sport, who have made the game what it today, and to all those who will continue to "play ball" after we oldtimers have struck out for the last time. ADRIAN C. ANSON. CHAPTER XVI. I Sell the Ten Thousand Dollar Beauty. I suppose that if I should neglect to Bay something about the two series of fames, one in 1885 and the other in X886, that we played with the St. Louls Browns some fellow from way back would rise up to remark that I bave a mighty poor memory when it comes to disagreeable things. Well, maybe I have, but I'm going to say a little something about those games all the same. To start with, I want to observe that the St. Louis team was a strong organization and could have held its own against any other team in the league. In the first series we broke even, each winning three games, the odd one being a tie. Next year we were beaten, fairly beaten, but I niust say that in my opinion there •was a very good reason for our defeat. The games were playod both seasons after the Chicago players had passed out of my control and the relaxation in the regular discipline made the boys careless. If they had taken as good care of themselves Just before playing these games as they were obliged to when the regular season •was on there would have been a diflerent story to tell. The big baseball sensation of 1887 was the sale by the Chicago management of Mike Kelly to the Boston club. The eum of 10,000 noble plunks went into the Chicago club's treasury as the result of this transaction, the largest amount that had ever been paid for a ball player. If you think that_Mike didn't hare a better opinion CASTDRIA For Infants and Children. mrww—wtaa— The Kind You Have glAiweys Bought Bears the ft For Over Thirty Years mil The centaur company, new york city. of himself when "he "heard of his market price than he'd ever had before —that's because you didn't know Mike. It didn't take long for the title of "Ten Thousand Dollar Beauty" to attach itself to his rather plain-looking phiz, but it made a great hit with the fans. Besides, the glory it gave him, the sale was of considerable practical benefit to Kelly, who received a salary nearly double that which he got when he wore a Chicago uniform. The Boston folks were tickled to death to get Mike even at the price. They were so hungry for the championship that they were willing to go down into their pockets to almost any depth, and they thought, now that Mike was their very own, that they had only to reach out their hands and the emblem was theirs. They found out to their cost that it needed more than oue "Ten Thousand Dollar Beauty" to do the trick. The very best the beaneaters could do was to finish in fifth place. The Chicago team for that season of 1887 was made up of Mark Bald- THET THOUGHT THEY HAD ONLY TO REACH OUT THEi£ HANDS' win, Clarkson and Van llaltren, pitchers Anson, Pfeffer, Burns and Tebeau, basemen Sullivan, Ityan, Pettit, Van Haltren and Darling, fielders. It was a mighty hefty bunch, even if it was minus Mike Kelly. That season, too, was the most successful in the history of the league up to that time, financially and from the viewpoint of Get Next to Good Thing! Are you in need of Harvesting Machinery? If so we can fit you out satisfactorily and for a big figure. Our Dutchman" Hay Loaders are great time savers as well as beiug constructed on sound principles, and sold at prices that defy competition. Or perhaps you are in need of a good Mower, if so we have just what you want either in the Standard or Walter make which never fail to do the work and to do it well. Call and be convinced that we have the machinery you want. John Nelsen, Exira, !owa "Flying A. Wood gooa ball playing. I am Compelled to admit that, even if we didn't carry off the pennant. The campaign opened the last o£ April and at the end of the first month Detroit was in the lead, with BolUui a good second. My team didn't yet beyond fifth place until June. At the close of that month we had stepped up one place, Detroit, Boston and New York still in advance. Our boys were playing a mighty good gar.i at that time and our chances for i'::e championship were not so very siim. During nil the month of July we climbed steadi'.y up the ladder, and September 1 found us in second iilaeo, within striking distance of Detroit. By the last week of August Chicago and Detroit were tied in the matter of runes won. At that time it was anybody's race as far as the two leaders were concerned. The middle of September told a different tale. Detroit secured a winning lead and alter that all the interest centered in the scramble for second place, between Chicago. PhiiiKieiphia and New York. By the end of that month New York was out of the fight and we were left to wrestle with the Quaker City team. When it came to a fall the latter was on top. Then the victorious Detroits sailed in and didn what we failed to accomplish the previous season—they beat the St. Louis Browns by one game in the series for the world's championship that was played after the close of the regular league season. Maybe you think that was an easy pill for us to swallow! The attendance everywhere that season was enormous, the capacity of the biggest grounds all over the country being taxed to the utmost. All the clubs made money, even those that didn't make much of a show. All the clubs woke up to the fact that baseball had become oije of the important Industries of the country, and from that time to this day the business features of the game have played a major role. Early in the spring of 1888 the managers of the Chicago, club made another big s'ale and pocketed a check for 110,000 for the release of John Clarkson, a man who had more than once pitched the White Stockings to victory. Personally, it was like pulling teeth to see John go, for we had come to look on him as a necessity almost, and it seemed as if a hole had been made in the organization that would be mighty difficult to fill. But the Boston folks were determined to get that pennant if they had to spend all their earnings in the business. They realized that Mike Kelly alone couldn't do the trick, and they were willing to help him out. Of course, this sale had the effect of knocking the bottom out of our reputation as topnotchers. Those who had been our antagonists in so many hard fights began the season with the notion that we would be dead easy now that two of our bright and shining lights were no longer with us, and there was more or less rejoicing throughout the league. It didn't take very long for us to demonstrate the fact that the spark of life was still flickering in our midst. We were in it, very much in it, from start to finish, and at the close of the season we had soared to second place, New York being at the top. Again Boston had failed to make good in spite of her big plunge for the championship. The best Mike and John could do for their new bosses was to put the club in fourth place. For the first time in several years 1 led the league in the matter of batting aTerages, with .343 to my credit, a tingle point more than Beckley of Pittsburg. The preceding season I had stood second on the list with a percentage of .421. Some time before this season was over I had become Interested financially and otherwise in a scheme to take the Chicago team and another picked nine from among the best league players on an exhibition tour to Australia and New Zealand. A. G. Spalding was first to suggest the matter to me, and from the start it appealed strongly to rny love of adventure. Mr. Spalding looked into the plan very critically from a business point of view, and the more he studied it the better it seemed to him. Finally we agreed to go into it, and after the matter was decided I could hardly wait for the time to come. The management of the trip-and all the details fell to Mr. Spalding and Leigh S. Lynch, who had been In Australia in connection with the theatrical business and had a wide acquaintance in the antipodes. In February Mr. Lynch went to Australia to make the necessary arrangements for our appearance in that country. CHAPTER XVII. I Am Introduced to President Cleveland. Long before the season of 1888 came to a close the fact that we were going abroad became known to every baseball fan in the country and made us the most talked-about team in the business. Posters of the attractive sort were struck off by the wagon load and the newspapers were full of It. Talk about publicity—the public eye certainly was chock full of us that summer. When the subject was first discussed no one connected with the enterprise ever dreamed that it would expand into a tour around the world, but such it proved to be. We met with so much encouragement on every side, and Mr. Lynch came back from his advance trip to Australia with such glowing accounts of his success in interesting the folks over there in the project that the entire globe was wild to see us, and we made up our minds to give It a chance. Now wouldn't you. have thought that with such an opportunity to see something of the world every ball player in the couuiry would have been mighty keen to get a place on lhat picked team, which ii had been decided to call the Ail-Americans? Greatly to my astonishment, as well as that of Mr. Spalding and all the others connected with the scheme, there was no special rush to get. into the game, Ten players of the Chicago club s'gned to go wiiji much fuss, but: the making up of the All-American team as quite anotln matter. Some of the players who bad seemed eager to backed out at almost the last moment, among them Mike Kelly of the roslons titid Mike Tiernan of the New Yorks. Some cheerful idioi. ioM the latter that the New Zealand vannibals ate only one kind of meat, and that did the business for Mike. After a lot of worry and trouble Mr. Spalding finally succeeded in getting together a very good team. John M. Ward, then at his best, was captain and shortstop, ard the other men li ". all made good in the Iotpo. All in all, It was a mighty effective selection, as we had occasion to discover more than once during our games on the tour. George Wright was engaged to accompany us as coach in several prospective cricket matches to be played in the countries in which that game Is the leading outdoor pastime. The ten players of the Chicagos who signed to go on the tour were Ned Williamson, Tom Burns, Tom Daly, Mark Baldwin, Jimmy Ryan, Fred Pfeffer, John Tener, Mark Sullivan, Bob Pettit and myself, and I never heard a regret from one of them that he had gone into the ven-ture. Most of them have been mentioned so frequently by me that they are already familiar to you, but of two of the more recent additions tc the club I shall say considerable hereafter. These were Mark Baldwin and John Tener, both hailing from Pittsburg, the latter recently elected governor of Pennsylvania. As a start-off, a good friend of mine and of the game, genial Congressman Frank Lawler of Chicago, provided a very enjoyable treat. This was no less than an audience with President Gro- BEMWilN WAS CiN/ii. ver Cleveland, tv^io sent us word that he hoped we would visit him at the White House before setting off on our long tour. Some way or other, I don't exactly know how, I had got it into my head that the president was a tough proposition to get enthusiastic over, but I never was more mistaken in my life. In all my career as a ball player, I have never met any one easier to talk to or more agreeable In his manner. When I was introduced to him as the captain and manager of the Chioago club he shook hands with me in the most cordial way. "I've been hearing so much of you for the past few years," he said, "that I've had a great curiosity to meet the man who has done such great work in the athletic field." "But you mustn't forget, Mr. President," I said as modestly as I knew how, "that I couldn't do much without the support of the other boys. Besides, the press has been pretty good to me. Sometimes when I read the papers I am astonished to find out what a big fellow I am." "Well," he laughed, "so long as the balance is in your favor you can't find any fault with the newspapers. I'm sure I never do." Then I introduced the other boys, and for each of them the president had a hearly handshake and a pleasant word. I never saw anybody better equipped with the exact thing to say and such a telling way of saying it. He certainly made a big hit with the Chicago club, and when we left the White House he wished us a jolly trip and a successful one, and there wasn't a man of us that didn't take away with him the most agreeable impression of Grover Cleveland. When we returned to America after our world-girdling tour. Benjamin Harrison had moved into the White House. Some one suggested that It 'would be the proper caper to pay him a visit, and after a good many hums and haws it was arranged that we should give the president a call. If we had expected a repetition of the hospitality that President Cleveland had shown us—we didn't get it. Benjamin was civil—barely so—hut you have it straight from me that the atmosphere at that reception would have made an icicle long for an overcoat. We were all mighty uncomfortable over the president's failure to appreciate the honor we were doing him, and the All-Americans were so upset over it that we wiped the ground with them that afternoon, the score standing 18 to 6. After I had once settled beyond recalLthat I would make this round-the- world junket I started in to make all my plans with direct reference to the enjoyment 1 intended to get out of the trip. As soon a? I found that there were to be ladies in the party—Mr. Spakl'i:? decidoJ to lake his mother and N Williamson's better half vowed he shouldn't stir a step without her—1 asked Mrs. Anson to accompany us. She didn't see how she could al ilr.-it., but finally she said "All right," and we were ready at the appointed time. On October 20 the Chicago and A!'.American teams played a farewell game on the league grounds in Chicago. It was a pleasant afternoon and a big crowd assembled to give us a proper send-off. It was a hot game, one of the very liveliest I ever took a hand in. Of course we didn't want to be beaten by the All-Americas 011 our own grounds just as we were starting off to show the world what a wonderful bunch we were, bat it would have tickled the picked nine to death if they could have done the trick, and they tried it for all they were worth. It didn't materialize. We won by a score of 11 to 6, and that very night we were off on the first trip around the world ever made by American ball players, a trip that was so full of advent tire and so .unique in its character that it will stand forever in the annals of the game as a thing to be remembered. Nor did it interfere a little bit with my anticipation of a royal good time to have it suggested to me by some of my friends, and to realize it perfectly myself, that no matter how big a success it might turn out to be from a financial and professional standpoint it was going to be the most telling advertisement for a certain sporting goods business ever devised by human ingenuity. The good-time feature of the scheme worked to a charm—and so did the advertising. As for the rest—well, my share of the losses incurred In working out that brilliant publicity dodge was $1,500. But, as I have already admitted, I had a tiptop time! CHAPTER XVIII. I Follow the Course of Empire. "Westward the course of empire takes It way," and so did we on that fine evening of October 20, 1888. If there was ever a jollier company 1 was not a part of it. Every man of the two teams was like a big kid going off on a picnic, and altogether we were about as fine a specimen of the happy family racket as could be got together. "Let's leave dull care behind!" sang out Tom Daly, our funny man, as our train pulled out of the Chicago Union depot, with the cheers and good wishes of the host of friends who had gathered to see us off still ringing in our ears. "I hope none of the club folks heard that," I said solemnly. ''Calling names is rather a dangerous business." "Not if one has the last, whack at it," Tom laughed. It was impossible to be serious with Tom Daly, and I didn't try it. Instead, I headed the procession to the dining car provided especially for our party, and after that "dull care" had nothing to do with the case. We had a special sleeper for our use, but, as I remember It, there wasn't a great deal of sleeping done that first night out. The situation was too exciting and too new to admit of it. The ladies of the party may have made the attempt, but I don't see how they could have accomplished it. Early In the evening Mrs. Spalding, A. (J.'s mother, a stately, white-haired woman, who is still living at the age of ninety-three, In behalf of the ladies of the company, accorded us permission to smoke, and by the time they were ready to retire the asmosphere was so charged with cigar mist that slumber must have been difficult. However, I can't speak from experience, as I didn't try it. I knew better. The rolling of the chipB at the further end of the car would have made It impossible. Next day we were in St. Paul, and although it was early Sunday morning a big crowd was on hand to welcome us. In those days St. Paul wm a "wide-open" town, and Sunday was the one day of the week devoted especially to baseball. A game between our two teams had been scheduled for the afternoon, and although we would have preferred to pass the day quietly it would never have done to disappoint the 2,000 shivering fans that had assembled at the grounds to see us play. "The frost was on the pumpkin" for a dead fact. A fur-lined overcoat would have been a big improvement over a baseball uniform, but there was no help for it. It is probable that a good many In the audience were there to see Mike Kelly, who had promised sir. Spalding to join us at St. Paul and whose name was on the score card, but the "Ten Thousand Dollar Beauty" had backed out and Frank Flint— known as "Old Silver"—was sent in to catch for the All-Americas. Flint had been prevailed on to accompany us as far as Denver, for fear that Kelly would jump the track. The crowd soon tumbled to the fact that Mike and "Old Silver" were not identical, and the substitute was greeted with a round of left-handed compliments that had about as much effect on Flint as a mild shower bath on the back of a duck. We had the game called at the end )f the sixth inning, the score standing :it 9 to 3 in favor of the Chicagos, so hat we might play a game with the ^t. Pauls, then under the management if John S.

St. Paul's favor, that crowd "went bug-house." Barnes was so elated over the good luck of his boys that he challenged me for another game with the Chicagos, to be played at Minneapolis the following day. I accepted, and the next morning we were taken down In our special cars to the other Twin City, where we met with a reception that would have done honor to royalty. I don't remember the details, but I do recollect that we formed part of a parade through the §"1 principal streets and that we nearly -J-f? froze, in spite of the fact that we were seated in a dozen fine carriages, drawn by horses with nodding gilt plumee and yellow blankets, and headed by a brass band led by a drum-major decked out in scarlet and gold. Another big crowd had assembled at the ball grounds, and It tried to keep in good humor and from freezing while we played our game with the AllAmericas, but it was an uphill business. What that crowd wanted tosee was our game with the St. Pauls, and the fact that All-Americas beat as 6 to 3 didn't Interest those fans as much as it did us. That game with the St. Paul's was one of the prettiest I ever had a hand in, I sent big Mar'- Baldwin in to pitch for us and he nu..le a fine showing. Neither side scored for four innings and I don't mind telling you that excitement was keyed up considerable higher than concert pitch. In the fifth Inning the St. Pauls were once more retired with a gooseegg and Pfeffer crossed the home plate with a winning run for the Chicagos. All considered, it was a great game for the St. Paul team, and Manager Barnes was so happy over the result that I couldn't do any better than jump right in and share it with him. There wasn't much time for that, however, for that night we went on to Cedar Rapids, in my native state of Iowa, where we were scheduled to play an exhibition game. We got a great ovation there. Our cars, sidetracked near the Union depot, attracted as much attention as though they contained a circus. The attendance at the ball ground numbered 4,500, a crowd that deserved to see a good game, and that is what they got, if I do say it. The score was a tie la the fifth Inning u.id again in the eighth, it then standing five each. In the ninth inning Ryan crossed the plate with the winning run for the Chicagos, and the crowd was satisfied it had got Its money's worth. Next morning we arrived at the state capital. All our traveling thus far had been done at night, and It has always been a wonder to me how we managed to play so much ball during the day and so much poker at night, with sleeping cutting a very small figure in the situation. At Des Moines we played a close and e*clt ing game, the score at the ninth Inning standing 3 to 2 in favor of the All-Americas. Thus far the picked nine had carried off the lion's share of the glory, but it was all In the family, and I consoled myself that cur turn would come next. On the morning of tKe 25th we were In Omaha, and there we got another red-hot reception. The All-Americas won out again, getting wise to Ryan's slow, left-handed delivery after the fifth inning and pounding him all over the field. The heavy batting tickled the Omaha folks and they shouted themselves hoarse. We played a game at Hastings, Neb., next day after a lot jt excitement had been caused by the falling of a section of the grandstand loaded with people. Fortunately nobody was killed, but a good many were badly shaken up. The Chicagos won that game hy a score of 8 to 4. Our mascot, Clarence Duval, had joined us at Omaha and things had taken a turn. Playing ball without a mascot—but thereby hangs a tale. (To be Continued.) Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S V2i A S O I A & ,-al KILLTHECOUGNI CURE D£).

Two of them have w:re blemishes and one is blind from j.n attack of "pink eye." However, Uiey weigh from 1,450 to 1,700 each and are all of the roomy, long-barrelled type that when bred to a good draft stallion of around a ton weight, throw colts that if properly fed, grow to draft size. We like to breed for as early co'ts as possible. A March colt is better than an April one, and an April toal beats one dropped in May or June. Not only does the mare work easier with the colt in the barn than when carrying it, but the youngster himself does better. He is grown to a big lusty fellow before the flies are had. At the same time he gets the If the mares have not foaled before the season's work begins and the foaling date is not within a week, they also are put to slow and gentle work. Thev are worked up to the time the wax shows on the teats and sometimes even later than this. We find that the mare's udder is lupt reduced in better shape, and the foal comes stronger from the mare that is worked than from one that MAKING A PROFIT FROM FARM: MARES One Iowa Farmer Tells How He Makes His Work Horses PayLikes to "reed for as Early Colts as Possible— Extra Work That Is Profitable. 'V I ..if A? ***-, -5 Big Draft Mares Will Do All the Farm Work and Profit Besides. On the home farm where from eight to twelve horses are kept it is our practice to keep but one team of mature geldings. These are used for winter chores and for such emergencies as require supreme effort at times when a m^re heavy in foal would be injured by hard pulls. The rest of the work animals are brood mares and colts not yet mature enough for market. It is our rule to keep at least six regularly -breeding mares. In the last five years we have averaged four live colts per year at weaning time from the six mares. At three or four years of age these colts sell for around $500 a span. ad\an- tage of the first bites of grass,. Our mares run out during the winter days. They have access to some clover hay, all the oat straw they will eat, and usually they have the run r.f the stalk fields. They are stabled at night and fed a grain ration of oats and a couple of ears of corn night and morning. With this they get. more clover hay. The amount of grain fed depends on the size and condition of the mare. After spring work commences the mares are fed largely on oats and mixed hay with occasionally a little bran and oil meal. is idle. After the colts are foaled tliev are started to eating as soon as possible. Each colt has a feed box besido his mother's, but out of her reach. Here he receives all the bran and oats lie will clean up three times a day. ONE YEAR POULTRY COURSE Iowa State College Offers Course for Those Who Wish to Prepare for Practical Work. Without entrance requirements one may now attend Iowa State college and take a thorough going one year poultry coufse. This course has been arranged for those who wish to prepare themselves for practical poultry work and have but one year to devote to study or who may not be able to furnish the requirements for admission to the regular four-year college courses. The work will be given b-y the regular college instructors and will be as good in every particular as the work given the regular college classes. The work will consist of twelve distinct courses grouped under the following general subjects:— 1. Poultry management which includes a study of poultry houses, the arrangement of buildings and yards, the planning of farms, feeds and feeding, breeding, judging of market types, killing and dressing, caponizing and sanitation. 2. Practice in Feeding and Manage ment. In this work the students are each given the entire care of a flock of birds and required to keep detailed accounts of feeds fed, gains made in weight, eggs produced and the calculation of profit or loss. 3. Incubator Practice. Each student is given charge of one or more incubators and required to make a careful record of the fuel consumed, variation, germs, chicks hatched and the cost of iucubation. A comparison is then made of all the different makes of machines used on the farm. 4. Brooder Practice is a continuation of work started in incubator practice. The chicks hatched are cared for in various types of brooders and results carefully recorded. 5. Poultry Judging. This work includes a study of the origin, history and classification of the various Yield a Handsome The foals are never allowed to follow their dams in the field. At first they grieve a bit over this. Suou they learn to stay about the barn lots where they eat a little grass. At night they and their mothers are turned on good blue grass pasture. With this treatment the foals o!' working mares make bigger, stronger fellows than do the colts of idle mares running on pasture without grain. They have also the added advantage of being handled, well halter broken, and used to the grain at weaning time. Weaning time, which usually comes in October, is scarcely felt. The colt eats more oats and clover hay, all he will eat of both, with a little corn if he shows a tendency to get thin, and he comes through his first winter in fine fettle. As soon as blue grass pasture is good he is shifted to this and gets nothing else till cold weather comes. Here again he grows like the proverbial weed. There seems to be something about good bluegrass pasture that was particularly meant for draft colts, for they come up in the fall after the first snow, fat. broad rumped, and doep-ehested. Their second winter is a repetition of the first, except that they eat a bit more feed. They have the yards and fields in the day time, with corn, oats and clovcr night and morning, and an open shed for shelter. They are all haltered and handled a bit each winter to make sure they have not forgotten their iirst lessons. When three years old they are broken and worked. The geldings are all sold at from four to seven years of age. The mares are either kept for breeding purposes or sold at similar ages. Eighteen of the twenty foals produced by our six breeding mares in the past five years reached saleable age or are on the farm today. Three of these are being retained to take the places of mares growing old. 6ix have been sold for a lump sum of $1,450. Three three-year-olds are earning their board this season. Two two-year-olds and four yearlings are on pasture doing their best to grow into horses before prices go lower. During these five years we have sold for $1,300 seven others produced in the preceding years. The $500 per year returned by these mares asid'3 from the work they do, work that some sort of horses must do, is in large part profit. We consider that this is good pay for any extra work or inconvenience that the colts may cause, as well as for the extra feed and care that they require. breeds and varieties, in accordance with the American Standard of Perfection. The more proficient students are sent out from time to time to judge country fairs or small winter shows. This course also includes instruction in show room management. G. Anatomy and Physiology of Poultry takes up study of form and functions of the various organs of the fowl's body with reference to feeding and digestion, egg production and caponizing as well as disease 7. Marketing of Poultry Products includes the study of the market classification of poultry, eggs and feathers, methods of dressing, packing, shipping, and selling, requirements of different markets, poultry and egg boards, cold storage of poultry and eggs. In connection with these subjects work may be taken in fruit growing, stock judging and grain judging. The aim in mapping out this course has been to fit men for going into poultry farming for themselves. For men who who have had experience along poultry lines and who also have the advantage of a year of college work there are excellent openings as superintendents and managers of poultry farms. Further information may be secured from the Poultry Department, Ames. Iowa. DRY MASH By Wm. A. Uppincott, Iowa Agricultural College. A chicken yard without shade is like a h«n without feathers, a bare proposition. It is hard to make a nest cool It is not hard to provide cold water for the hen when she comes oft the nest. Manure Is a mite breeder. Keep the dropping boards clean. Feed the scratching food early so the hen can rest In a shady spot during the heat of the day. Still remember that a two hundred egg hen will have a two hundred egg appetite even if it is hot. The hen is just human enough to want a variety. Simplicity in Dress As the ordinary man was smiling genially while getting into his overcoat after breakfast the little woman deemed the moment propitious for making casual mention of her need of a check. So she spoke briefly on thjit interesting subject. The genial smile faded instantaneously from the face of the ordinary man. He halted in the midst of buttoning his glove to remark witheringly: "If there's one thing I'd like to know It's where you throw away your money." The little woman remained meekly silent. This action on her part, since it gave him no fuel for his wrath, made him doubly angry. "There's Day's wife," he exploded. "She could wear diamonds to your glass beads, according to the difference in Day's income and mine. Yet what does she wear? The plainest, simplest, neatest looking outfit on the street! But you must have braids and laces and frills—and I must pay for them!" The vials of his wrath being thus emptied, he paused to recharge them. In the silence thus created the little woman made a timid suggestion. Couldn't the ordinary man get away from the office Just a little while to help her find a suit that would meet his views of simplicity? The ordinary man looked at her shrewdly. He did not like to be taken in and his suspicions were aroused by this unusual request. Her face, however, was so patiently guileless as he had ever seen it, so he accepted her suggestion. "Hustle and get ready, then," said the ordinary man, "and I'll help you get fitted out In half an hour." So the shopping tour began. "Shall we look at suits first?" questoned the little woman, as ahe led the way to the suit department where you can buy them ready made. The ordinary man gave his assent. "Something simple, dark and not too high prioed," requested the little woman. The ordinary man nodded his approval. The saleswoman brought out half a dozen suits. "Do you call those simple?" inquired the ordinary man, wonderingly, almost sarcastically. "They're the simplest we have at that price," returned the saleswoman, politely, as she removed the offensive suits without displaying them and went in search of others. "Those were $35," murmured the little woman thoughtfully. The ordinary man said nothing, but in his mind he was busy figuring an approximate cost of the trimmings and of the labor of putting them on and deducting the whole from $35. He nodded his head wisely. The saleswoman brought -another armful of suits. She held them up to view. They were simple, but not of the Mrs. Day simplicity. They had velvet cuffs and collars and light colored linings and the cut of the coats was of the most extreme pattern. Still, they had none of that offensive and expensive braid and Tho meditations of the ordinary man were cut short, for his wife whispered softly, "Those suits are $45, dear." It staggered him to think of the price of velvet. Enough only for collar and cuffs, it seemed, was worth $10 over and above the price of braid with its application! He shook his head in disapproval. Then, in well controlled exasperation, he requested tho saleswoman to be so kind as to let him see just a plain, simple, unadorned suit. The saleswoman understood. She hurried away and soon returned with a single suit, held carefully on a hanger. "That's something like!" exclaimed the ordinary man, appreciatively, as his eye took in the simple lines of the outfit, with its mannish finish, its cloth collar and cuffs, its heavy, good wearing quality and its all around common sense appearance. "That's what we've been looking for," he commenced as his wife slipped into the coat. It fitted perfectly. Everything was satisfactory. "Charge this suit and send it out," he said briskly. "And the price?" queried the little woman, as she and the ordinary man turned to go. "Eighty dollars," responded the saleswoman, easily. She was busy making out the check, so didn't see the look on the face of the ordinary man. The little woman was possessed of much tact. She bent quietly over an odd garment displayed near by until the ordinary man had recovered. Then they walked silently to the elevator. Porter "Got in Wrong." A new porter was being inducted into office at the Ritz-Carlton and had been the butt of all sorts of fun, good natured and otherwise. Therefore when an important man from Boston telephoned downstairs to know when the Merchants' Limited would get in the porter chortled with glee as he thought this was the time when he would get even with somebody for the Indignities put upon hini. "It gets In after the engine, you boob!" he shouted into the receiver. It took a lot of diplomacy to smooth that Bostonian down and keep the porter's job for him.—New York Sun. Their Friend She was always sitting there when Serene went by, leaning back iu the wicker hour-glass chair. Sometimes a book or magazine lay open in her lap, but more often it had slipped unheeded to the floor. Serene's first impression of her was that she was the loveliest woman %he had ever seen her next that she was the weariest looking. Serene was very young. It was hot in the central telephone office where she worked and the hours were long and the pay meager. Serene had worked there since she left school. She lived with old aunt who did dressmaking and had always acted the part of a mother to her. One Sunday afternoon when Serene went by she had Dave with her. Dave had been devoted to Serene all through her school days and since. He was a big, gentle fellow, all ambition and vim and sound purpose, who meant when he had learned his trade to make a little home for Serene. Serene suspected this intention, though he had not mentioned it to her yet. Before another Sunday arrived a new girl came into the office. She was a showy, handsome girl, who always had an answer or a pert little laugh ready. Serene shrank from association with her and the girl perceived it.' Consequently when Dave came that Saturday afternoon to wait for Serene and to accompany her home the new girl tried to discomfit Serene by flirting with him. She asked him to read the numbers while she "plugged"' at her switchboard, and Dave, uncon« scious of any wrongdoing, complied. Serene was angry and went home alone as fast as her feet would carry her, a very much disturbed little girl. Next day when Dave called her up she gave him over tHe 'phone a spil6 ited reply and hung up the receiver. When he came to call she would not see him. She was so miserable that on a certain afternoon when rain menaced she walked to work without her umbrella. There was none at the office she could borrow, so she had to walk back through the drizzle, which suddenly became a downpour, just as she reached the veranda lady's house. She had started to run In dismay at getting drenched, when a voice called coolly, commandingly: "Come here. I want to see you." The veranda lady had come to life and had spoken. Serene ran with all her might to the proffered shelter and sank into a chair. They sat a moment: watching the rain. "I have seen you go by every day since I have been here," said the veranda lady in her slow, sweet, tired way. "I'm glad this rain came so that we could get acquainted. You work, don't you?" Serene told her how and where she worked. And she told a great deal more than her words conveyed, for the lady was reading the meaning of her wan little face and miserable eyes. "I'm not happy," blurted out Serene. "I'm—" And then she told the veranda lady the whole story. 'Oh, my dear!" said the older woman. And she put up her white hand and brushed back her hair. There was gray in her hair, Serene saw. And on her finger was a great red stone like a bit of fire. An engagenfent ring. "Oh, my dear! You were jealous— jealous! Of that dear boy! You see, I can tell he is a dear boy. And you are a dear little girl. But you will wreck your life if you aren't careful. It's very lucky for you that you can still make up. And when you have made up stay so." Splashing through the rain, laden with raincoat and umbrella, came a tall young figure. It was Dave and he was coming straight for her house, Serene knew, looking for her. She caught her breath. "Why. there he is now!' said the veranda lady cheerfully. "Coming to bring you an umbrella. The dear boy! Call to him—Call to him, quick!" Serene called. And Dave heard. His face was very bright as he came to the veranda, and though the lady In the hour-glass chair was wonderful to see, he had eyes only for Serene, whom he helped very proudly into tho raincoat. A very contrite, humble little Serene she was, too. "You must come and see me together some evening," said the veranda lady, as they were going away. "I want to know you both better. I'll make you something nice in the chafing dish and sing for you some songs I know you'll like." "Oh, we'll come," cried Serene. "And thank you a million times!' Next day as Serene was passing she ran up to the veranda railing to speak to her new friend. "We've made up," she said, radiantly. "And I'm never going to be a bit jealous of him again as long as I live. He didn't care for that Ethel Slater. I should have known. It was horrid of me not to trust him. And you did It all, you dear, sweet, beautiful thing, you!" She picked up the lady's baud and kissed it. "I'm so glad you made up," she said. "We didn't, you see—he and I. I was •jealous, too. And when I came to my senses it was too late—" She looked away. "He had got over caring?" breathed Serene, tragically. "Oh, no!" The veranda lady caught her breath. "He just died," she whispered, miserably.

Touches That Add Effectiveness t» 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 forma 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 difficulty in making. Or there are fichus that are simple to make, and evening tcarfs, mantelettes, and shoulder-capes, any of which will prove a most useful addition to the wardrobe of the average woman. Two and one-half yards of five-inch lace, or deeper one and a quarter yards of slightly deeper lace for the fichu 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. ft A/''*- ®t" For girls plaids will not be as much favored as stripes and checks with terial trimming. Some of the latest girdles are very wide, six to eight incites in front and three inches less in the back. Men sometimes wear white pique collars with evening clothes to match the fashionable white pique shirts. Black velvet sashes are considered rery stylish, caught with a diamond juckle, using very light-weight velvet The newest Dutch collar closes In tfie back and has a five-inch plaited Jabot over the front from the neck tdge. Many of the new laces show a combination of filet and point de Venis. This last lace is extremely fashionable Collarless necks are used for lingerie dresses and blouses, and for certain of the silk gowns for daytime wear. Short-waisted blouse coats are tanong early spring models. They are especially becoming to juniors and frisses. The latest mode brings in a black Velvet evening coat, with sailor collar and cuffs and long, tasseled revers of white satin. The note of black is very pro. nounced. It Is seen in challies and organdies for misses and juniors, as well, for adults. Coats are short, about 24 inches, although some of £hem run to 32, and others have no length to speak of, since they are Eton form. Some of the new shawl-shaped stoles are made of a new- material, very much like plush, and they are usually Eeen in the soft taupe shades. Spring predictions for tailor made »uits are: Jackets, 26 inches, halfrttting, tight at the hips, plain ileeves, broad collar, narrow and itraight. New Thin Frocks. Among the most practical of white trocks for morning wear are those of totton voile, marquisette, and even fery fine crepe. Not only are these smart and fashionable, but they launder beautifully, which is an added attraction when considering the merits of white frocks. I They are simply made, but by occa•lonal introduction of color are made individual and given the needed relief from mi tire white. Batiste and lawn have been used for the simple thin frocks for years, but Ihese newcomers will find a hearty welcome. SMALLER ARTICLES OF DRESS WHAT SENILE DEBILITY TS *'Jj OTES fit,** Waste of Muscle, Cartilage, Bone and NetVe Tissue Consequent on Impaired Metabolism. ... ri I. L. Nascher, New York, says that senile debility cannot be prevented, but its effects can be relieved, the jmental attitude improved and a semblance of vigor restored. The cause Is waste of muscle, cartilage, bono 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 initia|tlve 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 die* tetic 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 of temporary 'benefit.

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 60,000 electors were fined sums from two dollars downward because they neglected to go to the poll. Spain Is anothe) 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 parlia. ment of Victoria. All defaulters were to be fined $2.50 unless they showed they were hi at the time, were blind, over sixty-five years of age, or wers unavoidably absent. A similar idea was mooted in Ca» ada, the penalty being disfranchise^ ment for six years.—Stray Stories. Sure, He Did the Right Thing!

He became so absorbed, In fact, that he forgot he was In school, and presently he puckeied uj his lips 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 I could whistle?" Army and Navy Inventors. There are numerous examples of officers of the army and navy inventing machinery and devices which are used by the service without any compensation 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.

On July 19 the Fourth corps and Fourteenth corps and the First and Second divisions of the Twentieth corps crossed Peach Tree creek to the eastern side and formed lines, while the Third division of the Twentieth corps remained in camp some six miied or more from the battlefield. 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 off to the left «md did not join the division until the battle was over and the victory won. I concluded my orders required me to follow the line of march of the division, and I did so. We had gathered about 60 who had fallen out on aooount 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 for dinner, writes Joseph B. Newburg, nergeant Company I., Seventy-ninth Ohio, now residing in Montana, in the National Tribune. After eating I went 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 men, and we got there as quickly as we 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 gatheredto their commands, and then, as bullets were flying around us, I was ordered to take a few prisoners that had been captured back across the creek and out of range. I 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 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 ravine, 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 whose father I had built a water sawmill lit Clinton county, Ohio, in 1848, came near to me without either gun or jquipments, and turned to look at the Bght. Before he had stood there a minute a bullet struck him on the right thigh, and he died six days aftsrwards. At about 7 p. m. the rattle }f the rifle fire slacked, and the shouts of victory came loud across the vallejr. Early in the morning I went to where the dead were gathered for burial, and counted 214 dead of oar division and 468 of the Confederates that our men had gathered. The cause sf such a difference In loss was that Sen. 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 moraing of the 20th, and thought they' would come out through it and swine: ind gather a few Acorns (the badge jf the Fourteenth corps), but whan, they came to the gap they, saw itead the Stars (badge) of the tieth corps. iw i*-j Tw«»j •1 tin- -ran —HP

Money back it not satisfied. OnlySOc atWinfrey & Chantry's. Egg shows in Iowa have been about as scarce as flying machines. The possibilities of their coming have not been talked of in glaring headlines by the daily press. When they do arrive the excitement they will create will be so small a fraction of that already aroused by the few fancy flights we have read of, that it will be hardly noticed. In the easy money they will bring the farmers they will be as far ahead as the flying machine will be in excitement. Egg Shows Would Help Producers. In 1905 there were 80,000,000 dozen eggs produced in Iowa. These were sold for $11,000,000. The average price per dozen was approximately 1&% cents. It has been definitely determined that 17 per cent, of the eggs marketed are lost because of detrimental changes. For Iowa this would mean a loss of over 13,500,000 dozen eggs, worth $1,870,000. The causes of the 17 per cent, loss are as follows: Per Cent. There is not an item in the list that may not be largely controlled by the producer. Dirties are the result of slack methods and dirty yards and nests. Breakage comes from careless packing. Chick development and rots come from failing to remove the male bird after the breeding season, coupled with the failure to keep the eggs in a temperature of less than 65 degrees F. Shrunken eggs result from failure to market the eggs often and the temptation to hold for a rise in price. Moldy eggs are caused by keeping the eggs in a moist place. Eggs, like milk, will absorb odors and bad flavor results.

It takes familiarity with proper methods of production, handling and marketing to place a perfect egg on the table of the consumer. Where can the general farmer get that Information now? Where could he get it better than at a properly conducted egg show? Poor Eggs Bring Poor Prices and Injure the Trade. When an egg of poor quality reaches the table of the consumer It naturally creates a feeling of extreme disgust. Nothing is more appetizing than a well prepared egg of the best quality. Nothing is more exasperating than a poor egg. It spoils the whole meal. Now, toward whom Is disgust and exasperation aimed? If it is in a hotel, the management is more or less silently cussed. If it is at home the cook comes in for her share, and possibly there are few mutterings about cold storage. But that is not ail The person who gets a taste of a poor egg does not care to have eggs for breakfast again until he has had time to forget his disappointment. In the meantime the egg trade suffers. There is less demand for eggs and there is a corresponding tendency to low prices The orange growers of California recognized this fact when they invited 40 representative growers from Florida to come to California and study proper marketing methods. They paid the traveling expenses of these 40 growers because they said thaf every time any one ate a poor orange from Florida they didn't want any oranges for a while. An orange was an orange to them, whether it came from Florida or California, and the orange trade as a whole was injured by just so much. Consumers Need Education. People of wealth, east and west, are In the habit of buying whatever suits their fancy regardless of cost. In the east premiums above the highest market price are paid for eggs that besides being of the best quality are large, uniform in size, even in color and perfectly clean, In New York a premium is paid for white eggs. One of the reasons given is that the shells are not so tough and the eggs are more conveniently handled. In Boston the brown egg is preferred and paid for. They say that a brown egg has a richer flavor. San Francisco also prefers a brown egg. The wellto-do people of Iowa take any kind of an egg that Is shoved at them if it tastes all right. This is not because they have never been shown. Their good taste is as keen as any New Yorkers. much When once they see how more to attractive a breakfast table looks when the eggs are all the same size, type and color, they are goI lng be as keen as any one for eggs --10 The Layer Spotted. that are really tip top. Where can they be shown more conclusively than at an egg show? Bring Producer and Consumer Together. There is necessity of education on both sides. The farmer fails to produce eggs of first quality for two reasons. In the first place he doesn't know how. But more important still he thinks there is no demaad for a better product. The consumer, on the other hand, takec the eggs that are given him because he In turn doesn't know any better. He Isn't aware that there is anything better to be had. There is the greatest need of the producer and consumer getting acquainted and finding out what the other wants and has. Where could this be done more quickly and easily than at egg shows? Not a single big show, but many smaller ones throughout the state. Would Make Competition Keen. The present competition between the breeds and varieties of chickens Is largely confined to the fancy points, as beauty of marking or elegance of type and carriage. In the Saturday Evening Post recently I noticed an advertisement by the Holsteln-Freisian association setting forth the merits of Holstein cows. There was nothing said about their size or color markings. Instead the emphasis was put upon the fact that the fat globules in Holstein milk are much smaller than those found in the milk of other breeds and are therefore more easily digested. I turned over a page and there was an advertisement of the American Guernsey (Jattle club. They had nothing to say about the beautiful fawn color or the attractive type of the Guernsey cow. Instead they were harping on the fact that the butter from Guernsey is so highly colored that no artificial coloring matter Is needed as in the case of other breeds. In both cases utility points "were emphasized. This does not injure the cow for showyard purposes. It does bring before the public the things they are Interested in. Every breed of chickens lays eggs, that are peculiarly and characteristically its own. Some are white, some light and some dark brown. Some are more even in color than others, some are larger, some are more uniform in shape, some have shells that are too delicate, some too tough, some just right, some have lots of bloom, some are shiny, some are rough and freckled and some are smooth and even. These are the things the great American public is anxious to know. They care little about the type or color or the prizes the hen that laid the eggs may have won. It's the egg itself they are interested In. Stimulate the demand for the product of any breed and the demand for the breed will take care of itself. When this fact is realized by the breeders and these facts are really put before the public there will be an improvement of the breeds, and increase in business and a healthy competition between breeders that has hardly been dreamed of. What an Egg Show Should Show. The premium list of a first-class egg show should include classes for all breeds and varieties of poultry whose eggs are sold upon the open market. Besides there should be classes for white eggs, dark brown, light brown, duck, goose, turkey eggs, etc These classes should be judged according to their weight, shape, uniformity of size, shape and color, shell texture, and condition and quality. The last named should be valued at at least 40 In a scale of 100. It is the quality that holds the trade. By way of adding interest special prizes might be offered for the largest turkey egg. the smallest hen egg, the smallest egg of any bird, etc. Then there should be prizes for the best displays, showing methods of production, packing, shipping and marketing. Displays of dressed poultry could be made and eventually classes for the different breeds put in the premium list. New ways ot dresSing and drawing as well as boning birds should have a place, and a picking contest would add interest. Exhibits of shipping crates, poultry boxes, laying houses, egg cartons, shipping refrigerators for fancy trade, the market grades of eggs, and egg crate machines would be of interest and great educational value. Egg shows in Iowa would mean more money for eggs, better eggs, new methods, greater consumption, more people in the poultry business and an impeti" M-f u|ry business all alon^ ,• Her Post- Graduate Course Carbon Hill was proud of Betty Lonsdale. Old-timers could remember when she was a freckle-faced, pigtailed tomboy, running about with the rest of the Lonsdale brood, but that was before Mrs. Carberry-Cranston took the child to the city and after many years returned her as a shining example of scientific education. Along with the assimilation of scientific education Betty had lost her freckles and her pigtails. The former had been replaced by a peaches-andcream complexion the latter by an elaborate coiffure that was the envy of the more simple women folk who had absorbed the simple rudiments in the district school aud then had married and settled down to raise more scholars for the same schools. Mrs. Carberry-Cranston was a faddist whose peculiar bent was the advocacy of the higher education for what she was pleased to term the "lower classes." It was her theory that as the Indian bureau educated a few bucks and squaws as examples to the rest of their tribe, so might the woman's rights millennium be brought about through the liberal education of young women from the smaller towns. Cyrus Lonsdale had been willing enough to lend one of his numerous progeny to the experiment in consideration of the payment of all her expenses, and so Betty had been taken away a hoyden and returned a fashionable young person. Martin Staats scowled as he first caught sight of her. In the olden days they had planned to be married when they should be grown up. Martin had plodded along in his quiet way, regarding himself as still engaged to the girl whom he fondly remembered. When he saw the change that the cities had wrought he groaned to himself in despair, and yet, with his inherent persistence, he broached the subject at the earliest opportunity. "I s"pose I'll have to be getting the ring now," he said. "I guess you remember that you was engaged to me before you went away to be polished off." "Have you not forgotten that boy and girl romance?" she asked with an elaborate assumption of superiority that, to the man at least, masked the yearning that lay beneath, for despite her education and her superficial polish, Betty was still a tomboy at heart and even now she longed for one of those long, delightful rambles through field and wood that she and Martin used to take together. "I can't forget," said Martin, simply. "I was hoping that you remembered, too." "J do remember," conceded Betty, "but I also remember my mission. You must realize that this education was given me that I might be of use in the community. It would be unfair to my benefactress to settle down to married life and sink my Individuality beneath yours." "What's the use of knowing how far the moon and sun are from us and who lives in Africa, if you have to live an old maid?" scoffed Martin. "There's Ruth and Theresa and Minnie. They all married, and married well, because they learned how to be good housekeepers. Your ma's a famous cook and she taught the other girls. It's better know how to make good bread than to know the sort of stuff your head has been filled with." "That's where you mistake," cried Betty, quickly. "Even in the kitchen education makes me better fitted to meet the problems of life. I know, for instance, the chemistry of breadmakIng, the relative nutritive value of the various meats and vegetables. The science of housekeeping is one of the most interesting studies. Mrs. Carberry-Cranston has particularly impressed upon me the importance of communicating to others these important facts." What Martin said about Mrs. Carberry-Cranston and her ideas does not require repetition here. But if Betty found learning a satisfactory substitute for love she did not show it in her manner. People regarded her with the awe that her erudition, deserved, but she was conscious that beneath the awe was a good-natured contempt for some of her theories. Martin she saw not at all after that first meeting. Then came a summons to her mother from one of the married daughters and Betty was left to keep house for a week. Her father was away on a business trip and she was left alone in the big house. Her science of housekeeping did not materially aid her In her cooking. There was small comfort of knowing the chemistry of breadmaking when the product was sodden and uneatable and her knowledge of food values did not aid her to transform the most nutritious food Into the most appetizing. Before the end of the week she was hungry, dyspeptic and utterly worn out. Martin found her weeping in the kitchen and took her in his great, Btrong arms to comfort her. "Mother thought perhaps you'd like to come over to supper for company's sake," he said when at last the tears had subsided. "She didn't know it was as bad as this, though. I guess, dear, that perhaps your scientific cookery needs a little practical experiment. Are you ready to try it, dear, In a home of your own—of our own?" Betty smiled through her tears. "If you are willing to let me try," 'ho said, meekly. "It seems to me that in spite of theories domestic science is not of much use without a post-graduate course In matrimony." Suppos itiouslyi Propounded .Tack Edwards was called "the Jap"' by his fellow bank clerks because of if his raven-black hair, small, dark eyes and swarthy complexion. Coming from lunch, one summer day, he step- .1 ped gingerly across the dusty cobblestones, dodged a ponderous electric truck, was warned off the street car track by the clanging of a gong, made a detour to pass a stationary automobile, pulled open a brass-bound, beveled glass door and mounted the flight of steps that led to the main iloor of the bank. On reaching his department Edwards, sauntered to his desk. "Hello, bunch," he called, in lifeless $ tones to several young men who were grouped around an adding machine |i Tommy Betts, the diminutiM: head of the department, glanced up witn an expression on his face that was a I caricature of wrath and called across the intervening desks, stools and baskets. "Why don't you go to bed nights,. Edwards? Your mistakes are balling up the work of the entire department," exploded Tommy. "Come around here and take a squint at line 13. It don't. balance by a mile." Edwards glanced across the sheet and made a mental calculation. "I guess I was asleep at the switch, fellows," he said, and smiled sweetly. "Leave the statement with me," he urged. "I'll fix it. I say, one minute. Tommy," he called, as the department head drifted off with the others. "I'd like to ask you a question. Do you think if a fellow getting only $60 a month got married that he and the ft girl could get along all right?" "Of course, it depends a good deal on the fellow and the girl. You couldn't wear $35 tailor-made suits and patent-leather shoes as you do now. If the girl's sensible, there's no reason why you shouldn't get along all right. A number of the fellows I know were married on less than $60, and they're getting along fine." "You don't say so," Jack murmured' Jubilantly. Miss Mabel Marsh ran a comptometer and was an important cog in the machine that ground out the work of the bank. The young clerks vowed her end of the room a delightful place to work and the little bell boys who sat on the polished benches downstairs and jumped to answer the call of the officers openly adored her. "Say, Belle, what kind of a question do you suppose the Jap asked me a few minutes ago?" inquired Tommy, as he fingered a long, white paper tape crowded with figures. "How should I know? Why don't you tell me?" "He wanted to know if I thought a young man could support a wife otf-'-t $60 a month." "What'd you say to him?" "That I thought it depended a great deal on the young couple themselves. I explained he'd have to economize." "The delightful thing about it is." declared Miss Marsh, flushing until her pretty face was as red as a peony, "that the girl the Jap picks out will be sure to care enough for him to do i. her share in—in making it easy sledding." After leaving Miss Marsh running her machine at a great pace, which slackened the moment he was out ot sight, Tommy made his way back to his own department, stopping at Jack's desk. "Say, Jap, I wag Just chinning with Belle Marsh. I told, her about that fool question you asked me." "Can't you keep a secret?" grumbled the Jap. "Didn't know it was one," Tommy explained. "What'd she say?" asked Jack. 1 "She said she felt sure any girl you picked out would care enough for you to "Did she say that?" cried Jack, his face wreathed in smiles. That Wednesday night the Jap called on his sweetheart, but it was not until he was ready to leave that he mustered up courage to say what the girl had Instinctively felt all through the evening he had come to tell her. Jack leaned forward in his chair If and bent an earnest gaze on the young woman who sat across from him, her hands folded in her lap, her -eyes studying the pattern in the rug on the floor. "Belle, I'd like to ask you a questlon," he said. "Do you think—I say, Belle, do you think "Why, of course I do," she admit- S ted, and her dimple played havoc with the Jap's heart. that a fellow who is getting only $60 a month could get along all. right if he got married?" "I'm sure I can't sa^, Jack," she said. "You see, I don't know the two persons most concerned, and I—I have no way of judging she stopped. "Well, suppose Belle Marsh straightened in her chair. "Do you think it fair, Jack, to ask me to answer a question having to do with a suppositious case like that?"' 1 Jack hung his head for a moment, but only for a moment. Then he arose and took a quick step forward. Hta voice was husky with the emotion that took him, and shook him, and centered In his throat. "Forgive me, Belle. The case I havo in mind concerns you and me.' Do you think It's Just this: I lore you. I—I want you. Belle, will you^Al marry me 7" '-)$$• For answer, she arose and held out both arms, and Jack, taking h®i hands, gently drew har cloee. •.-

Professor Mortensen of the Iowa Farm College Gives Some Recipes for Making Delicious and Wholesome Ice Cream. The following formulas for making ice cream are given by Professor Mortensen in a new bulletin on "The Classification of Ice Creams," which may be obtained free by writing to the Iowa experiment station at Ames: Plain ice cream is a frozen product made from cream and sugar with or without a natural flavoring. Formulas are given for making ten gallons of finished ice cream. Vanilla Ice Cream.—Five gallons 25 per cent cream, 8 pounds sugar, 4 ounces vanilla extract. Chocolate Ice Cream.—Five gallons cream, 10 pounds sugar, 1% pounds bitter chocolate, 4 ounces vanilla extract. Maple Ice Cream.—Five gallons 25 per cent cream, 6 pounds cane sugar, 2 pounds maple sugar, 2 ounces caramel, 4 ounces vanilla extract. Caramel Ice Cream.—Five gallons 25 per cent cream, 8 pounds sugar, SUGGESTIONS FOR MAKING GOOD BREAD Flavor Depends Largely on Temperature at Which Dough Kept While Rising—Be Careful tc Put Bread in Oven When it Has Doubled Its Size. By NEALE S. KNOWLES, Iowa State College, Extension Department. Rolling Out the Dough for Biscuits Moisture—Be your bread until it becomes very springy and elastic. This makes it rise more readily. The long kneading breaks up the large gas bubbles and helps to distribute them evenly through the loaf. If large bubbles of gas are left in the loaf they grow larger when the loaf is warmed, and make large holes in the loaf. Your loaf will be coarse in texture and grain if you let the bread rise too much. Put the bread in the oven when the loaf has doubled its size. 12 ounces caramel, 4 ounces vanilla extract. Coffee Ice Cream.—Five gallons 25 per cent cream, 8 pounds cane sugar, extract from 1 pound coffee. Mint Ice Cream.—Five gallons 25 per cent cream, 8 pounds cane sugar, 1 pint concentrated creme de menthe syrup, few drops green coloring. Nut ice cream is a frozen product made from cream and sugar and sound non-rancid nuts. Walnut Ice Cream.—Five gallons 25 per cent cream, 8 pounds cane sugar, 4 ounces vanilla extract, 4 pounds of walnut meats. According to this general formula the following nut ice creams may be prepared by substituting different kinds of nut meats: Chestnut ice cream, filbert ice cream, hazelnut ice cream, pecan ice cream, peanut ice cream, almond ice cream, pistachio ice cream. Fruit ice cream is a frozen product made from 'cream, sugar and sound, clean, mature fruits. Strawberry Ice Cream.—Five gallons 25 per cent cream, 8 pounds sugar, gallon crushed strawberries. Employing the same formula the following creams may be made by Is oven hot enough to brown a piece of letter paper in five minutes. If the oven is too cool the bread will rise too much. If the bread rises too much before it is put into the oven, it will settle and make heavy streaks in the loaf. Sweetness—Yeast care­ plants feed on starch and change it to sugar. The sugar is changed to alcohol and a gas. If the bread stands too long an acid is formed and the bread tastes sour. Be careful to put the bread In the oven just as soon as it has doubled its size. Color—Too much yeast makes the bread a greenish white rather than Crust—If your oven is too hot at first, the crust will be too thick and hard when the loaf is baked on the Inside. If you want a crisp shining crust, rub the crust with melted butter, as soon as the loaf is taken from the oven. merely substituting fruits and berries for the strawberries. The amount of sugar may be varied according to the acidity of the fruit: Pineapple ice cream, raspberry ice cream, cherry ice cream, peach ice cream, apricot Ice cream, currant ice cream, grape ice cream, cranberry ice cream. Preparation of lemon and orange ice creams cannot be included under this general rule. These creams may be prepared as follows: Lemon Ice Cream.—Five gallons 25 per cent cream, 10 pounds sugar, 2 pints lemon juice, 1 pint orange juice.

"Do you remember that little, wa* tery-eyed, lazy chap we had here threa or four years ago?" asked the head of the firm. "Blnks, I think, his name was. I discharged him for lncom* petenoy." "Blnks?" the assistant manager repiled "oh, yes, I remember him well." "He came In to see me today." "Did he? He went from here to New York, didn't he? I suppose he was wearing a silk hat and an overcoat with a fur collar." "That's the funny thing about his case. I can't understand it. He was all run down at the heelB and wanted to know If I would give him 50 cents." Counter Diplomacy. "I think you will like this goods, madam," urged a salesman In a dry goods shop. "It is just the thing for a stout, middle-aged lady." "Sir!" squealed the customer in a rage. The clerk saw his faux pas and recovered himself quickly.

Now, if you are buying for yourself, we have something over there that—" Amputated.

"Is It true that you punched Johnny on the nose?" "Yessum. but It was his own fault." WELLS! WELLS! 12 to 38 inches in diameter C. M. PATTY, Route I EXIRA Bettina's Incognito Alter I have refused three other proposals you may come to me for pour final answer." Thus did Bettina deliver the ultimatum. Wetherell surveyed her blankly, a stunned look taking gradual possession of his face. "And you want—other admirers, Buitors?" A pained expression crept into Wetherell's eyes and caused the straight black lashes above them to ontract sharply. "Most girls do, you know. It's a little weakness of the sex—a strategy to provide harmless amusement. Men save so many diversions and girls so few! Hettina rose and followed him out to the door. "You take everything too seriously, Bobby," she said at parting. "Then you didn't mean—" "Of course I did, stupid!" she laughed. An instant later he was gone. Exquisitely gowned in a morning robe of pale blue Miss Robeson sat toying with her chocolate spoon after a late breakfast. The maid entered with two letters on a silver tray. A glance at the handwriting on the back of the largest :aused her to shut her lips tight. The other letter she merely glanced at and shrugged. With eager fingers she broke the teal of the one bearing the mysterious chirography ..nd with a wildly-beating heart read: "My Dear Miss Robeson: .May I take the liberty of addressing a few words of interest and praise to one whom I admire more than words can express? "You do not know who I am, but I have seen you thousands of times and watched your career with no trivial degree of enthusiasm. "I wish you would let me be your friend, Miss Robeson, if only at a distance. My interest in you is deep and Eenuine and it would afford me the keenest satisfaction to be allowed to follow you in your upward march and contribute what small crumbs of encouragement my modest position in the world of literature will permit. "Sincerely, Huntingdon Crosby." Bettina Robeson re-read the letter three times in bewildered silence. Huntingdon Crosby! She had never heard of suoh a person! But perhaps that was an assumed name. By way of dismissing the subject from her thoughts, she picked up Bobby Wetherell's hastily scrawled letter and glanced through it. He would be very busy for the next few days he could not come on Friday night, or Sunday afternoon, either—and he regretted exceedingly that he would not be at liberty to take her to the horse show Tuesday. When she finished reading it, Bettina did a very contrary thing she stamped her whiteslippered foot upon the carpet and tossed Bobby's letter into the trash basket. Then she rose abruptly and crossed the room to a little rosewood writing desk in the corner. She would answer Huntingdon Crosby's letter! In due time came a reply to her carefully worded little note. It called, undeniably, for a response, and as Bobby was still ostinct, the response was punctual. Crosby's third letter contained an exhaustive pen picturc of himself, and be requested permission to call. After a good deal of reflection, Bettina granted it. She was growing desperate over younjj Wetherell's neglect. But her admirer was "called south an unexpected business," and the golden opportunity slipped by. For several weeks the mails between 1234 street and "Maplewood" were kept busy. The climax came when Bettina received a proposal of marriage by special delivery. When she began to read the man's endearing words, she was shocked, horrified. But by the time she had reached the signature, a complete change had corns over her. Bobby Wetherell had been flirting outrageously with the girl across the way, and it took her exactly ten minutes to write—and accept tier mysterious wooer. The wedding day broke clear and sparkling as a sapphire. It had taken a fortnight to make preparations for the event, and not even the Robeson household knew of Bettina's strange procedure. The hour was set for 11. at the little chapel a blocU away, and prompton the stroke of the hour Miss Bettina Robeson descended matter-offactly from her carriage in front of Bt. Catherine's, and walked toward the door. A tall man in a dark gray traveling suit was leaning against the little jreen iron fence, and ho joined her at once. The minister had preceded them only a moment, and the couple sntered in silence. After the ceremony hey stood looking long and earnestly Into each other's eyes. "I was half afraid when you saw me, rou'd back out," tie said, the first to jpeak. The bride opened her purse and Irew forth an engraved card. She aeld it out to him with dancing eyes. The name traced upon it was Mrs. Robert Knight Wetherell. The newly-mad? groom stared at her svith nonplussed eyes. "Oh, Bobby," she laughed, "you're :he biggest goose. When you wrote ne that special delivery letter you— rou forgot and signed your own lame. Her Impulsive Way "Why, Alice, didn't you go out to lunch today?" "No, I didn't." The stenographer did not look up from the crocheting, "and what's more, there'll be no rest for me noons, nights or Sundays, Caroline, until these table mats are done." "I wasn't aware that you were in any immediate need of table mats," pursued the bookkeeper. "Isn't this rather sudden?" "They aren't for me, worse luck. When I need household goods I'll let you all know, never fear. These mats are for another and they are long overdue." The stenographer laughed bitterly. "Behold in me a victim of the habit of promising in haste to repent when repentence is entirely useless. "What?" "I mean that I'm one of those unfortunate impulsive persons who are always gratuitously and recklessly offering to do things for people. Observe these mats. There was really no reason why I should undertake the manufacture of eighteen doilies, six of each of the three sizes, you know, for a person like Mrs. Corwine, but when she told me that Mr. Corwine had bought her a beautiful mahogany dining table I at once said, without considering the matter at all, automatically, you know, that I would make her a set of mats for it. She took me up with a jump and hoped I'd do the pineapple pattern. It's the most difficult stitch I know. "Now she is probably wondering when I'm ever going to get them done. The truth is that I've only just been able to begin them, for I've been spending every spare minute for tiw last month on the border of Fre*h knots that in a moment of aberration I promised to embroider on Gertrude Lane's white marquisette dress. She bought it ready made and she thought it looked too plain, so, of course, I suggested the French dots and when she said that she didn't know how to make them I volunteered to do them for her. "For four long weeks those knots have haunted me. Every evening that I've wished to read or play cards I've been obliged to stick to the dots, and the worst of it is that my offer to do them was made so casually that Gertrude has no realization of what a Herculean task they were. I wouldn't feel so sorry for myself as I do if I thought I were receiving proper credit for my labors. "It's the same way with these doilies. Mrs. Corwine thinks that "because I said in a light and airy way that I'd make them they're a mere amusement or pastime for me. Did you ever know such a goose as I am—to get myself into doing things and to hate myself for it? I'm one of those who jump in where angels fear to tread." The bookkeeper laughed and Alice, continuing to crochet violently, continued. "You ought to be thankful you haven't the habit. It gets one into all sorts of entanglements. A few weeks ago I met some suburban friends on the street. They appeared so pleased to see me that before I really thought what I was doing I asked them to come in town some day and have lunch with me, and I promised to let them know very soon just what day to come. That luncheon, for which I can neither afford the time nor the money and which wasn't in the least called for, has hung on my neck like a millstone. The thought of it has worried and depressed me ever since. The event comes tomorrow, and then, after these mats are done, I'm through! I shall not mortgage my time, money and industry any more.
