Our next stop was in Waterloo. Here what we said about Mason City ten years ago we can repeat that only five years ago there were only two colored families living here. In fact it was once printed in the papers that colored people were not allowed to come to this town nor were not wanted, but now fully 502 are living here. They have two churches, a new A. M. E. church built by Rev. A. Bess, called Bess Chapel, and a Baptist organization, which has recently purchased a house formerly owned by the city, pastored by Rev. J. H. Bowles, who is doing well. They also have a good Masonic lodge and Eastern Star. The lodge has bought a nice lot and built a new Masonic hall, in which they meet in. On the ground floor they have rented out for a grocery store. They have a new K. of P. lodge here, one barber shop, one pool hall, two colleges. Mrs. S. C. Smith is the oldest settler here.

Some one called over the phone and said for them (he and wife) to stay at home Sunday afternoon and don't go out to dinner, for they would have company from Omaha, Neb., that afternoon. So the Rev. and wife became a little unpleasant in their minds, as they had made no particular arrangement for company and no way to fix on such a short notice, so they set in to thinking and looking on every car for the guests. Later in the afternoon came Sister Wright and Sister D. Bottoms with well filled baskets, with everything to eat, cakes, pies, chicken, served spareribs, hot biscuits, corn bread, beans, potatoes and all kinds of dressing, and filled the Rev. and Mrs. Jackson's table and called them into the dining room.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS In the midst of a sentiment he unwittingly created among the race he endeavored to the very last to elevate, Booker T. Washington is no more; and his work of stupendous proportion follows him. Perhaps we shall not see his like again in this generation. There will rise up many who will to imitate his manner a leadership through sycophancy, but there will still few who will so with the sincerity of purpose, prompted his every action for the betterment of his people and the whole country. Dr. Washington was born in a section of this country, and lived and labored in it, in an age and time that required a subtility that only those who are brought up in it with the white man can use to enable them to succeed in an undertaking necessitating their constant presence among southern people. This subtility Dr. Washington possessed in a remarkable degree. He knew how to tickle the white man of the south to cause him to laugh, and when he laughed to get what he needed from him, and through him others who gave, not as a Christian duty to the institution he founded, but because Washington had injected his personality into their favor, and because they knew that there were few other schools where the Negro could get the instruction that is given for his uplift at Tuskegee. As a monument to his faith in the capacity and ability of his race to do what other men of other races have accomplished, and his indeftifiable industry to bring about results, Tuskegee will multiply her army of educated men and ring out to future generations the name of the man self-named, and who brought it into existence. The management of this institution has been without reproach, but its founder has not always been credited with advocating the best interest of the race in regard to the higher education of the youth. Be that as it may, for himself he has left behind an enduring monument of his work on the minds of men, and we suggest a monument of enduring marble he erected in the sight of those whom he has helped by starting a subscription by all the people of the country, and have it placed in the capital of the nation.—Exchange. The Rt. Rev. Samuel D. Ferguson, first man of his race to be made a bishop by the Protestant Episcopal church, who died the other day at Monrovia, Liberia, though a Negro, and born in South Carolina, was never a slave. His parents were free persons of rotor. He was six years old when they accepted the inviting offer of the National Colonization society and went to Liberia. He was educated in the mission school of the Episcopalians at Cape Palmus. He watched our Civil war for the freeing of the slaves only at a distance. He worked with all the civilizing forces in a land where about 15,000 Afro-Americans dominate a real African population of 200,000; worked with the Methodist bishop, William Taylor, who first developed industrial education there; worked with J. J. Roberts, long president, a man nearly white, but devoted to popular advancement; worked with Arthur Barclay, born a British subject in the Barbados, a pure-blooded black, who succeeded Roberts; worked with the present president, Daniel Howard. He saw the establishment of Presbyterian and Baptist and Methodist As the first step in the formation of a co-operative alliance of colored industry and commerce by a group of colored men active in advancing the interests of their people, Charles M. Thomas of Miner Normal school, also president of the colored association of teachers at Washington, has announced an early organization of reputable and reliable colored chauffeurs and automobile mechanics. The purpose of this movement is to raise the standard of efficiency and to set standards of conduct for the men in this industry. Mr. Thomas sees, in the present industrial condition in the United States, an opportunity for colored men to play an active part in the real preparedness for American contest with rehabilitated European nations after the war, whether in conflict or in competition. Plans for the larger alliance to include colored men and women engaged in trades and occupations generally throughout the United States are being perfected under the chairmanship of Charles E. Lane, Sr., of North Carolina. Apple wood is the favorite material for saw handles, and some goes into so-called brier pipes. The minister of foreign relations of Colombia has ordered the publication in book form of economic and political information on Colombia, much of which has appeared in successive bulletins issued by the ministry in his charge since 1912. The title of the book will be "Colombia—1913 to 1916." Eleven grains of radium were produced in the United States last year.

Bishop Ferguson's death recalls, of course, the great Colonization society that made Liberia open to free Negroes. Of this class the South, especially the cities of the South, wished to be freed. Henry Clay, Charles Carroll, James Madison were as anxious for the plan's success as William Lilburn Channing or Gerit Smith. But perhaps on young Ferguson's life the influence of Bishop John Henry hoppins of Vermont had most effect. Bishop Hopkins of the Episcopal church had been a most earnest worker for the Colonization society. And, relatively small as were the results of that movement, the characters developed in Liberia were well worth studying. What the Negro could do even after the brightening effect of slavery on individuals and the race, Booker T. Washington showed. What the Negro could do never having been a slave has been shown in a dozen of the strong men of Liberia. Of those strong men Bishop Ferguson was one of the most impressive. His conservatism in Grace church, New York city, in 1885, was a mark in the history of Episcopalianism in America. We take the following from a communication to the New York Evening Post: The songs of sorrow, of joy, of humor, and of sentiment were the natural growth of a race musically inclined in Africa, and whose unfelodious outpourings were intensified by the conditions of slavery. 1850-1865—Minstrel songs full of character, but less lofty of sentiment, and less true of real Negro inspiration and inspiration. (See songs of Jim Bland and others.) 1870—Advent of jubilee singers—an artistic triumph. 1875-1888—No further development in Negro music. The Afro-American had been so thoroughly taught by the white man that his color, condition, and accomplishment were inferior, that the younger generation at once threw aside all tradition. Any reference to the past became a disgrace. Except in a few schools of the South, to sing jubilee melodies to an Afro-American audience would be an insult, and would lead to the dismissal of the teacher urging them. The Moody and Sankey hymns were used exclusively in our churches and schools. About 1888 - the startling and quick growth of so-called "rug-time." As far back as 1875, Negroes in the questionable resorts along the Mississippi had commenced to evolve this mustel figure; but at the World's Fair, Chicago, "Rug-time" got a running start, swept the Americas, then Europe, and today the craze has not diminished. The public was tired of sing-song monotonic mother, sister, father sentimental songs. Rug-time offered unique rhythms, curious groupings of words, and melodies which gave the zest of unexpectedness. Many Negroes—Irving Jones, Will Acocke, Bob Cole, the Johnson brothers, Gussie L. Davis, Sid Perrin, Eristog Hesman, Williams and Walker, and others wrote some of the most celebrated rag songs of the day. In other instances white actors and song-writers would hear St. Louis such melodies as "New Bally," "Hot Time," etc., would change the words (often unprintable) and publish them as their own creations. When the flags of the Ohio regiments which had been in the Civil war were taken from storage and placed in the rotunda of the statehouse in Columbus, Gov. Frank B. Willis carried the flag of the Forty-eighth Ohio Volunteer infantry, in the war, his father had served through the war, and Mrs. Willis carried the flag of the Twentieth O. V.

It weighs 9 pounds, stands 29 inches high, and measures 18 inches from tip to tip. It is known to be more than one hundred years old. The age is verified by the fact that the casting was made in two pieces and then brazed together. A Baptist pastor in New York has a novel way of attracting an audience. He conducts his evening services at 7:15 in front of the church. Besides the novelty the people find it cooler and decidedly more comfortable than inside the church. The perfume industry of Italy annually makes use of 1,800 tons of orange blossoms and 1,000 tons of roses.

BAY OF SALAMANDRA Above—Dam and power house on Snake river, Idaho, that impounds water enough to grow luxuriant crops on 120,000 acres formerly barren land, and uses the rest to light and heat the houses and perform many of the daily functions in five towns and upon several thousand farms. Below—Class in domestic science at the Rupert Electric high school, where electricity is used not only for cooking, but also for heating and ventilation. Uncle Sam, by means of great irrigation projects, has turned many stretches of desert into blooming gardens but there is one project that stands out particularly as an example of what man can do toward altering the conditions established by nature. The auditorium seats 500 people. Farmers Use Current. Power is sold to individuals on the project but the more economical way involves group purchases. "Organizations of the farmers have Along the Snake river in Southwest Idaho there is a stretch of territory 40 miles in length which was once a barren desert, but is now dotted with green farms and prosperous, bustling towns. This metamorphosis has been brought about by the building of the Minidoka dum on Snake river, but it is not merely the transformation that has been wrought in the appearance of the country by the miracle of irrigation that is of chief interest. The Minidoka project has an attraction all its own because of the varieties of public service which the water impounded behind the dam renders. Here is to be found a miniature electrical world. Electricity, generated at minimum expense by water power and sold by the government at cost, is used almost exclusively for light, heat and power in the five towns located in the district and also upon the several thousand farms scattered throughout the project. It operates a large grain elevator, a sugar refinery and an alfalfa farm. It operates a school, churches and a 50-room hotel, it heats and lights the farmers' houses and furnishes power for the farm machinery. Approach to Communism An economic unit has been created in a waste of sand and lava ash—or rather has grown up there under the wing of the government, the only possible way it could have grown—which represents a close approach to communism. A portion of the water impounded by the dam enters canals and is distributed by the gravity system over 71,000 acres. Half of the water, in passing over the dam creates 10,000 horse power which lifts the remaining part of the first half of the water to higher benches of land that otherwise would be beaten thus more than 120,000 acres in all have water. After lifting water for the extra 44,000 acres, there remains power sufficient to provide nearly all the essentials and many of the luxuries of life. By law the United States reclamation service is required to supply water and power, when power is available, at cost. Hence the charges are low. For light, the average farmer's bills run to about $1.25 a month. For light, ironing, washing, vacuum cleaners and cooking, the cost in the average household is $3.00 a month. In winter, adequate power for heating a 5, 6 or 7-room house is obtained at from $8, to $8 a month. Soft coal costs $8 a ton on the project and as considered necessary for continuous heating and for cooking, the actual money saving is large. Electricity Heats Schools In Rupert and Burley, the principal towns, 75 per cent of the buildings and homes, large and small, are heated by electricity. Last year Rupert completed a high school housing 600 pupils which is ventilated and heated throughout by electric power from the government plant. Burley has now invested $80,000 in a concrete school building, also to be heated and ventilated by electricity, which will house 2,000 pupils. In the Rupert school, fresh air is drawn from the roof at the rate of 50,000 cubic feet a minute. It passes through electric coils which heat it to 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Next it is washed and signified and then reaches a large motor-driven blower. This forces the air into two chambers, in which a portion is raised to about 100 degrees Fahrenheit of which cool air is retained. Separate ducts carry the air from the two chambers to each room in the building. The ducts are connected and there are connections controlled by dampers, so that the temperature in each room is maintained at 68 degrees. Hot water is provided electrically also. The domestic science department has a complete outfit of electric plates for the use of the individual students, as well as a large electric range for baking and cooking on a larger scale. Practical use is made of the domestic science department in the preparation of hot lunches at noon for all the student body. The food is sold at low prices. Meal tickets can be obtained either for cash or in exchange for such supplies as milk, eggs and butter.

The auditorium seats 500 people. **Farmers Use Current.** Power is sold to individuals on the project but the more economical way involves group purchases. "Organizations of the farmers have been formed," said a government official. "Each organization deeds with the reclamation service in purchasing the power required for the use of all the members of each organization. It is then distributed over lines constructed by each group. One morning last summer I drove out into the country about 8 miles from Rupert and stopped to chat with a homesteader. His house was a modest structure costing probably not to exceed $250. The place was well shaded with Carolina poplars and had a well-kept white clover in front. "I observed a power line leading directly to the house and inquired about it. The farmer said he was one of the directors in the Farmers' Electric Car and used electricity for many purposes. My curiosity was aroused, and I went into the house to investigate "I found every room lighted and heated with electricity. In the kitchen was a large electric range, the very latest on the market, with four hot plates, a large oven, and a broiler. Water for stock and household use was pumped electrically, and the same force will be used about the burn for various purposes. This unpretentious home on a farm only four miles from desert possessed conveniences and up-to-date labor-saving equipment which probably cannot be found elsewhere except on the farmsteads of the very rich in the oldest districts of the country." CAPTURES TRADE IN BRAZIL For First Lease in History United States Lease All Other Countries in South American Business. Uncle Sum has so far succeeded in his efforts to build up his South American trade as to take first place among the nations of the world in the volume of its trade with Brazil. In 1915, for the first time in its history, the United States led all other countries in both the export and import trade of Brazil. There are, according to the lists of the consulate general, 33 branches of American firms in Rio, Janéro managed by Americans or consisting of permanent American representatives there. Besides these branch houses many American manufacturers are still represented by firms both native and foreign, commission house or firm carrying stocks of certain specialties. Before the war it was difficult for American firms to find reliable and active agents, as many of the larger importing firms were European, with a preference for European methods of production. However, these conditions have been reversed and many new American connections have been brought about. --- Broiled Lizard Pleases Marines' Palates. Perhaps broiled lizard will never find its way to the menu of fashionable American restaurants, but Uncle Sam's marines attached to the American legation at Mannagua, Nicaragua, have found, as entremets to the lotus, fried or broiled ignana steaks, served with a pasty sauce from alligator pears, to be everything claimed by the native epicures. The ignana, or ginnt lizard, has been used for food by the natives for many years, and ignana steak finds much favor with them because of its gany taste. The ignana is herbivorous. ```markdown ``` Drug Business Gröwe. During the five years between 1600 and 1914 there was a substantial increase in the manufacture of drugists' preparations, patent and proprietary medicines and compounds and perfumery and cosmetics in the United States says Uncle Sam. Reports for 1914 were received from 4,082 establishments, with products sold in 1914, a number of establishments in 1914 ceased that in 1900 by 440, or 12.1 per cent, and the value of the products increased during the five-year period by 890,073.84, or 21.2 per cent. Some Laugh at These PERIL OF FLY NOT FULLY REALIZED PERIL OF FLY NOT FULLY REALIZED BY DR. SAMUEL G. DIXON Commissioner of Health of Pennsylvania Reens have been printed about the danger from the house fly. Despite all that has been said it is a self-evident fact that people do not understand how real is the danger from these pests. If they old a single season would be sufficient to wipe out the dangerous nuisances. Let people once understand the part that the fly plays in the transmission of disease and they will look upon anyone who maintains a condition which breeds them as a public enemy to be summarily dealt with. There is much advice about swarming the fly and trapping the fly. What we must learn to do is to exterminate it by doing away with all breeding pests. While It has not been definitely proven what the fly has to do with infantile paralysis, we have good reason to believe that it takes a part in the spread of the disease. That they can and do carry the germs of rhyphoid fever and other diseases we know. It is a wise mother who screws the baby's crib. Thousands of children under one year of age die annually who would be saved if the fly were eliminated. America Was Discovered by St. Brendan, Irish Legend The first discoverer of America, according to a tradition firmly held by some superstitions Irishmen, was St. Breundan. Brendan lived in the sixth century, and, according to legend, fitted out a vessel and sailed westward in the hope of discovering an island supposed to contain the paradise once tenanted by Adam and Eve. He was accompanied by 14 monks, and the ship was "victuallied for seven years." After sailing forty days and forty nights they came to an island, where they found "a hall with tables spread with good meat and drink." They snailed on for a long time, and came to another island, "wherein were the whitest and greatest sheep they ever saw." After stopping for a time they proceeded with the voyage, and came to a third island, called "the paradise of birds." After wandering about for seven years, from island to island, St. Breundan and his monks returned to Breundan, where they astonished the natives by tries of the wonders they had seen. In spite of the wild and improbable features of this legend, it was for centuries accepted as truth, and the Spanish government sent out several expeditions in search of the islands of St. Brendan. The St. Brendan legend formed one of the causes which led to the discoveries made by Columbus. Explained. "How do you conquer your elephants when they get on a rampage?" queried the new reporter. "Oh," replied the manager of the manager, "we have an ex-buggage master to look after them." "An ex-buggage master!" exclaimed the astonished gencil, pusher.

The whole problem of society, generally, is to determine to what degree the mobility of the individual shall be restrained, predestinated and merged in the aim of all the collectivity. I translate this experience into the terms of our everyday life, and I make it graphic to myself by thinking that every man has an imaginary uniform, an imaginary uniform of his own measurements always in readiness in home or shop or office or in some public locker, that he may don at call of his community, state or nation, or perhaps of a world need: when under compulsion he goes to vote, to pay his taxes, to fight against dishonesty, inefficiency or waste, to inform himself upon public questions or upon public duties; when, in short, he performs any one of the hundred offices that are required of him as an efficient unit in an organized society. I am today a maker of meerschaum pipes, a peasant gathering my harvest, a college professor, a surgeon. Tomorrow I slip on this invisible garment, and I am a selfless, nameless, numbered patriot. And the next day I am working at my delicate pipes again; I am back in my field, or at my desk, or in my private laboratory; that is, if I am not killed or wounded in battle or suffocated in the trenches. Poultry Scratchings By C. S. Anderson of the Colorado Agricultural College. If you take pride in marketing good eggs at a good price, consider the following: Do not keep mongrel stock. They are not high producers, and their eggs are not uniform as to size and color. Keep laying bens separated from sitting hens. Gather eggs twice daily in warm weather. The sale of infertile incubator eggs never will help you to establish a higher market price for your product. Separate the male birds from the clock except during the breeding season. Fertile eggs are poor keepers. Market eggs in a standard egg case. Never haul to town over rough roads or in an open basket or pan exposed to the hot sun. You will have a larger number of "firsts" if you market at least twice a week. In keeping eggs, provide a dry, cool, well ventilated place. Fertile eggs must be kept below 68 degrees to check germination. Eggs are affected easily by bad odors. Do not keep in a musty grain bin, or in the vegetable cellar, or where they can absorb the odors of kerosene and gasoline. In France Woman Usually Is "Man" of the Family The French woman is the "man" of the family as a rule. This was illustrated in our hotel in Paris, where madame attended to the office and ran everything, while she kept her husband on the go from early till late doing the upstairs work. Practically all the "chambermides" in Paris are men. The first thing we noticed on reaching Paris was a woman cab driver. Most of the street hucksters and vendors are women—but they are husky specimens, who are well able to look out for themselves. Some of the cries of the hucksters are very musical. We are specially taken with the call of the fishwomen, who in announcing for instance "bon maquereau"—"good mackerel"—would sing a regular little song. As you go along through Paris you are struck with the large number of women who run stores and all kinds of enterprises. They invariably keep strict accounts, and after closing hours they will be seen poring over their ledgers. It seems rather strange that the French women should never have made any special demand for women to be "perhaps because they realize that they already rule the roost." Paris Letter in Pathfinder. The cleverness of some plants is indisputable. A sundew, or fly-enter, deceived by a piece of chalk, seized it in its tendrils, but upon discovering the fraud immediately withdrew them. A fly, held just out of its reach, did not tempt it to move, but as soon as it was brought a little nearer the plant prepared to take possession of it. Darwin showed that a begonia had a habit of searching for a hole to insert its tendrils into, and even of withdrawing the tendril to insert it in another hole, if the first proved unsuitable. Nor is this power of selecting continued to any particular class. Climbers like the lianas will refuse to collound a branch not strong enough to bear their weight.

Heavy embroidery distinguishes some handsome gowns. Shirred skirts are in evidence—but are of many, many kinds. New street and afternoon gowns are frequently finished with soft, wide sashes. One unusual frock had an apron of satin in front and back—the gown itself being of taffeta. Orange and black stitching, in heavy stitch, marks the backs of some of the white glace kid gloves. Some of the wrist-length glace gloves of white have little cuff sections of black lace, laid flat against the white kid. Gray is a favorite color in the gloves of the year. There are heavy gray suede gloves, there are dressed kid gloves in gray and there are gray washable fabric gloves, all smart in appearance.

HOW TO USE A HOE So many people have a horror of using a hoe. It is the most comforta ble implement to be found in the equipment of a gardener or farmer. It is 80 handy to use for so many pur. poses that one cannot get along with out tt, Probably one reason that people do not like a hoe is that most hoes ex- plain at once how “dull as a hoe” came into proverbial use, A dull hoe is certainly not a pleasant implement with which to work, The good gardener will keep his favorite hoo filed to a sharp edge all the time. It is impossible to grind a hoe on a grindstone because the level must be on the upper aide of the blade when ‘it ts in use, in order to make the hoe “bite” into the soll. File your hoc, making the bevel about twice as wide as the thickness of the blade. Then keep it bright, ‘and when you go out after weeds the hoo slips through the soil so easily that hoeing is not much lke hard work. In hoeing, a long, slow movement should be made, if the soll 1s in good condition. Simpiy “scuffing” half an inch of the top soil is enough to kill weeds, and one can go over a lot of ground In ono day it the hoe ts sharp and bright and the strokes long and smooth. In choosing a hoe, select one the blade of which Iles not quite fat on the floor when you are standing erect, With the hoe hendle extending trom your hands when in working pgsition to the floor.

In our "Who's Who Column" this week we take great pleasure in introducing to you Mr. W. H. Kendel. Mr. Kendel—Mr. Reader. Yes, sir, Mr. Kendel is an athlete, every inch. He plays a half for the Springfield Y. M. C. A. college, and during proper seasons represents college in baseball, basketball and track. As a matter of fact Kendel is taking the physical training course at Springfield, which makes it imperative that he study all the major sports and the minor ones as well. It is rumored that Kendel is being groomed to take charge of the physical training department at Fisk university. It isn't Kendel's athletic ability, nor his prospects for a great future that inspire us most, but we'd just like to say that Kendel is the most polished, refined and gentlemanly young man that we've ever met. It wasn't our privilege to see Lord Chesterfield in his younger days, but we'd like to say if the celebrated lord had anything on Kendel he certainly must have been polished some. Drake university's new coaches have arrived, Mr. Ralph Glaze and Lieut. Wier. We've never won any medals for proficiency in judging football coaches, but we'd bet our old grey hat that if Drake doesn't have a great football team this fall it won't be the fault of the coaching. Dept. Coach Glaze had Howard P. Drew under his charge last year and has nothing but highest praise for the gritty little runner. There is a possibility that Draym may comply with Glaze's wish that he come to Drake with him We'd like to see the colored people of this community get back of and support every movement that is made for the betterment of the community. Some of our people refuse to have anything at all to do with any movement that isn't designed for the special benefit of colored people. They don't seem to see that what helps the community at large helps them also. Very often religious organizations open their doors to delegates from colored churches and colored organizations, but they seldom, if ever, send a delegate. Last year for the first time a colored Sunday school was represented in the Sunday school athletic meet. If we don't embrace these opportunities now they'll soon be closed to us. Now, all together, let's get ready to enter a rattling good basketball team in the Y. M. C. A. league this winter. One of the best amateur games of baseball ever played in this town was played Labor day at the Union park grounds between the Des Moines Giants and the Riverview aggregation (white), the game going fourteen innings for a count of 8 to 8. The Riverview bunch got off in the lead with two runs in the third, but the Giants came back in the fifth with four runs, grabbing the lead from their rivals. Everything was lovely then until the eighth, when the Riverview boys made six runs, making the men on in the ninth, "Pud" Saunders saved our scalps by spanking out a two-bagger, thus tying it up for then, henceforth, now and forever more. From the ninth through the fourteenth innings neither side could score. Each, however, came desperately near getting over the necessary sleep producer. Twice did one Grafton Roane make phenomenal stabs. He was easily the fielding star. In the thirteenth with two down and a man on third, the Riverview first baseman hit a long one far over the said Grafton's head. Grafton ran forward, ran sideways and then turned and ran backwards, and after running as described for about twenty-five yards he stuck up his gloved hand, looked toward heaven with a prayer and was rewarded by having the sphere lodge safely in his gloved hand. The enthusiastic spectators refused to allow him to walk in home. Wade of the Riverview team also did some excellent fielding. Batteries: For Riverview, Goodwin and Flinn; for the Giants, Hays, FT.

OPEN DAY NIGHT Clinton, Iowa During the past few weeks the papers have been full of the reports of the epidemic of poliomitis, or infantile paralysis. The results were simply a panicky condition on the part of fond parents, for there was nor can there be any definite advice given either to present nor cure the malady. It is the sensational and the unusual which attracts attention. There were about 500 deaths reported in this epidemic, which was bad, of course; there will be many cripples among the survivors. Every year there are more than eight thousand children who die from measles and its complications. People look upon meas- will be many cripples among the survivors. Every year there are more than eight thousand children who die from measles and its complications. People look upon measles as a harmless disease and often purposely expose their children to it, feeling that they have done a favor. While there were thirty-two hundred cases of poliomitis in New York, there was nothing said of the nine thousand seven hundred cases of measles. Diphtheria, scarlet fever and tuberculosis cause so many deaths every year that the small number who die in the present epidemic in New York dwindle into comparative insignificance. The point we wish to bring out is the fact that people are to watch out along the lines of the old and ever present diseases and to use methods of protection which are known, namely: Keep children from all sick people, consider no disease or ailment simple, avoid any but known and safe contact. Be sure that a physician does not mask typhoid fever under the guise of Diarrhoea. The summieriarrhoea is as dangerous as tuberculosis or measles. The child who is fortunate enough to escape the infectious disease of childhood is in better shape to live long and prosper than the sickly one. Those diseases which confer immunity are too dangerous to trifle with. All fevers and rains upon the young organism are apt to leave some weakness on delicate and essential organs. This promises to be a year when typhoid fever will be prevalent. There are many cases in Des Moines now. Some cases have nearly died because so-called doctors cannot diagnose the disease. But we all can fool the doctors by boiling the water which the children must drink. The grown up people may be successfully vaccinated for the disease. Consequently there is little excuse for those who prize health to succumb. Keep your ear to the ground for the commonplace things, watch for the usual terrible diseases, do not get into a flurry about epidemics in the east when we have right at hand every day our old friend the enemy of life and happiness.

Missouri Can't Beat This Pair Mule MISSOURI has a well deserved reputation for mule breeding, but not even the Show Me State can beat hybrids of the class and quality of the pair pictured in the accompanying illustration. They are the finest of their kind—big, smooth and perfectly matched in every way. They are strictly Iowa products, bred and raised by F. A. Hutson & Son of State Center. Exhibited at the Iowa State Fair of 1915, they won the championship ribbon over all comers. The Hutsons are the most extensive mule breeders in the state and perhaps anywhere north of Mason and Dixon's line. For several years past they have made a practice of showing at the state fair and expect to be on hand again this year with their usual excellent consignment. The average reader may possibly entertain the notion that the heat mules all hall from Missouri. If so, he is likely to change his mind after looking over the Iowa bred mules that will be on exhibition at the coming state fair. song service beginning at 7:30 p. m Do not miss it. resume their evening services Sunday, September 3rd.
