er was growing paler, thinner and
more careworn every day. Since, she
hurt always been strong and robust
it worried lier husband very much so
he employed one of the best physi
cians in the community to do what he
could to strengthen her. The cause
of the trouble was the decaying of her
teeth which gave a very foul odor to
her breath as well as uudermlnded her
constitution. The physician fearing
that he would lose the large fees which
which he was regularly receiving from
his patient did not somrest that the
teeth should be prawn. He continued
to give the poor woman medicine
which did little or no good A friend
of the German advised him to consult
a dentist who said that he could oure
the woman if be were permitted to ex
tract the decayed teeth and furnish a
set of false ones. The farmer object
ed saying "It will do no good, Doc.
She die anyway," but finally consent
ed to try the experiment although he
had misgivins about spending niouey on
one whom be considered to be nearly
ready for the oottiu. After the teeth
were drawn the patient gradually got
better. When she and her husband
returned to the office after the gums
had healed and the false teeth
were tit ted in her month the German
danced around like a boy who had
gotten his first new red-top boots. He
was very happy because his wife look
ed younger and handsomer than she
had looked for many years. He stated
that she looked ten years younger.
Disregarding the presence of two soc

approached her and sniffing said. "But

In The Spring Time
As the springtime approaches the

be not deceived. Remember that your
home dealer is here to make every
promise good, and that he can always
give you a better stock to select from.
It is characteristic of the American
people to try to get some thing for
nothing, but the time when they cau
do this has not come as yet, Nor is it
liable to come this summer. Our mer
chants do not promise to give you
something for nothing, but can give
you as much for your money as any-

Startling Figures From Iowa
"Uncle Henry" Wallace Talks to Leftts
lattirc Lincoln,-I'ob. i!o. (Sieelal)-"Unelo
Henry" Wallace, editor of Wallace's
Farmer and chairman of the Roosevelt
Country Life Commission, ono of the
principal speakers of the Nebraska
Conservation Congress, spoke before
the legislature by invitation on last
Friday. Dr. Wallace touched on tax
ation, good roads, education and the
tenant problem. He said that the
legislature of Iowa is about to submit
a constitutional amondment abolishing
the general property tax aud appor
tioning railroad and other corporation
tax for purposes of stato administra
tion, leaving the county free to make
such levy as the voters see lit for local
purposes; It is his belief that this
method will remove Inequalities in tax
ation due to evasions of tho personal
property tax.
Speaking of the education system
Dr. Wallace declared that a survey of
Iowa statistics shows that the million
people on the fauns furnish but ten
percent of the criminals, while the
million and u quaiter in the cities fur
nish ninety per cent. Only one per
eent of the young ci iminals come from
the farms, lie stated further that but
one per eent of the litrm boys secure a
liulshud education under the present
system and that so much monev is
spent on this one per cent thai It is
impossible to educate the remainder
pioperly. He pleaded strongly for a
better system of rural schools.
Dr. Wallace says that in Iowa tho
road problem is complicated with more
mud than in Nebraska and that in his
6tate "mud, niouey and misery go to
gether and complicate the road pro
blem," which they are endeavoring to
work out by building permanent roads
between county seat towns and good
dirt roads from the town to the school
bouse in the country. Mr. Wallace
characterized the one-vear leasa as "a
conspiracy between the .landlord and
tenant through which both rob the
land to the limit of their ability" and
argued for the English system through
which the tenant is entitled to an
equity proportioned for the amount of
unused fertility which he restores to
the land in the form of manure. This
system has contributed to long leases
and a permanent tenant class in Kug
land with largely increased crop pro
duction. Dr. Wallace predicted that
the state which first adonted a similar
system would set the mark for ad
vancement in the economic develop
ment of agriculture.

Mister, Is this where a man kin git

'Yes, sir," said the clerk.
"Wall," said the granger, "what be

mechanism on the shelf.
"This sir," said the clerk, "Is a
wonderful time piece It is worth 1300
