government wants to get the farmers
interested in adopting a businesslike
method of accounting on the farm. It
believes that if a better system of
farm accounting is apod ted it win
work to the benefit of the farmer and
to the government as well. The bu
reau has seen the need of a better sys
tem in managing the business of the
farm by its attempts to gather farm
statistics. It believes that the farmer
would be a gainer if he would base
f3wer of his calculations upon facts
drawn from memory, or from incom
plete records.
A statement of the definite informa
tion the farmer will be asked to give
the census taker enumerates the fol
lowing questions:
He will he asked for a statement
of the acreage, yield nad selling price
of all crops harvested this year, to
gether with the value of his live stock,
dairy products, poultry, eggs, fruit,
etc. In addition, he will be called up
on for an'inventory of all live stock,
poultry and bees on hand April 15,
1910. The government will ask how
-much money he paid out for fertiliz
ers in 1909, how much he paid for
farm labor, what ambunt he paid for
hair grain or other articles not raised
on the farm, but purchased for feed
for domestic animals and poultry,
what acreage he planted for each sta
ple in 1909 and what acreage he in
tends to plant for
each
in 1910, the
'number and value of animals sold -u
1909- the number and value of ani
mals' slaughtered on the farm, either
for home use or for sale, the number
and value of wool fleece sold, the
quantity of milk and of butter in
pounds produced, and a comprehensive
statement of mortgaged indebtedness,
etc.
If the census bureau is successful in
securing active support from the ^ar™"
ers in its plans the government will
thus acquire valuable information. And
if is true, as the census bureau be
lieves, that lax business methods pre
vail on the farm, benefit might he
gained by the farmers by keeping an
annual account for themselves, such
as the census bureau now asks them
to give the enumerators.
WHY IOWA PROSPERS.
In the October ".Wealth," the official
publication of the Greater Des Moines
committee, there is an article which
gives some reasons for the prosperity
of Iowa and of Des Moines .A Buffalo
man had read some of the "booster"
literature and he wrote asking "Why
do you allege so much prosperity for
Des Moines?" In the article in which
this question is answered the Greater
Des Moines committee modestly
•states that the first reason for the
prosperity of Des Moines is the great
state of Iowa, and it goes on to set
forth some of Iowa's wonderful ad
vantages in the following manner:
The enormous wealth of Iowa is, in
a large measure, the gift of Divine
Providence. The most permanently
valuable things in the material world
are climate and soil.
Iowa has the most fertile soil on the
American continent and an unsurpass
ed climate.
Add to these an industrious popula
tion of two and a quarter million,
you have Use essentials of pros-
perity. That is the situation in Iowa.
It is only about fifty years since
Iowa was mostly landscape and In

Iowa farmers own 7.6 per cent of
all the cattle in the United States.
Six and one-tenth of all the horses
of the nation are owned in Iowa.
Even though Iowa is a prairie
state, 1.5 per cent of the timber prod
ucts of the entire country come from
within her borders. Arkansas, which
is regarded as something of a timber
state, produces only 4 per cent.
Even more surprising is the fact
that Iowa produces 3.2 per cent of tha
bituminous coal mined in the United
States.
Eight and eight-tenths of all the
barley rrrown in the Un'ted States
comes from the farms of Iowa.
Fifteen and six-tenths of all the
swine in the entire country are raised
in Iowa.
The product of Iowa dairies during
the r.reeent veneration would pay the
national debt.
There is only one spot in the state
that is thirteen miles from a railroad.
Most of the railroads center in Des
Moines.
The Iowa hen produces as much
wealth each year as the silyer mines
of Colorado. And the hen isn't mak

Land that sold for $25 an acre in

"This 'Guaranty of Bank Deposits'
queat'on so prominent In the laBt polit
ical campaign is certainly passing
through its baptism of fire just now,"
said a prominent Main street busi
ness man today.
"These western states that have
been investigating the Oklahoma plan
are getting discouraged since the sit
uation raised by the recent failure of
the Columbia Bank and Trust com
pany at Oklahoma City.
"It will be remembered that this
hank was only a year old, but by the
offering of special inducements in the
way of excessive rates of interest to
depositors, had in this short time built
up a line of deposits of three million
dollars. While it is not questioned hut
that depositors will eventually get dll
their money, the fact remains that the
advocates of the guaranty plan have
been handed a great disappointment.
"With only *380,000 in the state
guarantee fund and over $40,000 of
this amount on deposit with the failed
bank, the task of meeting the immedi
ate payment of $3,000,000 liabilities is
no small one.
"An assessment has been made on
the solvent banks to provide for this,
and many of uie banks are uniting in
an effort to resist the collection of it.
"The argument of the opponents of
the plan that the well managed banks
would have to pay for the shortcom
ings of those poorly conducted has re
ceived quite a lift by this early failure
through gross mismanagement of one
of the supposed!, strongest banks of
the state, and the assurance by the
advocates of the plan that the watch
dogs of the state banking department
could keep tab on all the banks, and
that further every bank would be
watching every other bank, making
such a thing as a .failure well nigh im
possible, has had a great set back.
"In short it has proven that while
we have some very competent bankers
in the country, there are few able
to perform the double service of at
tending to the responsibility of suc
cessfully managing their own institu
tions and at the same tlmo keeping
track of the transactions of their com

SUNDAY GIVES
"BOOZE" SERMON
FIVE THOUSAND MEN CROWDED
INTO TABERNACLE AT CEDAR
RAPIDS TO HEAR HIM.
Cedar Rapids, Nov. 9.—Rain has
marred the Sunday revivals again, but
130 conversions have recorded, mak
ing 1,518 to date. When Mr. Sunday
preached his "booze" sermon to men,
he had close to 5,000 men standing on
the seats and cheering like mad men
and throwing their hats and coats into
the air, as he denounced the liquor
traffic. Fifty-three of them came for
ward at the end of the meeting. The
collections for expenses Sunday
amounted to $1,502, making the total
$7,770, or all that was needed.
iJr. G. Walter Barr, of Keokuk, re
ported the sermon for the Cedar Rap
ids Gazette in his characteristic style.
His report was In part as follows:
"While assembled thousands watch
ed, a man stood on a high platform
waving the blood-red flag of anarchy
up and down while he spoke ringing
words of denunciation for all that it
signifies and all the enemies of the
United States of America. Suddenly
he- cast the red flag upon the green
carpet and stamped upon it with both
feet as though he were killing a rep
tile. Then he swiftly whirled once
around, and there was in his hand,
from whence no one saw, a staff to
which was attached Old Glory, the
oldest and oeat flag in the world, the
stripes reddened by the blood of a
million salvators, and white for the
purity for which this man preached.
As the stars and stripes were held so
high that the azure field almost
touched the roof of the big pine tab
ernacle, the half acre of men extend
ing below for half a block began with
a great clapping of hands, a sound as
of waves breaking on a beach, and
then broke Into cheers, like the sea
in a storm pounding on the cliffs, that
could be heard to the center of the
city. White caps appeared upon the
breaking waves, as hundreds of hand
kerchiefs flashed into the air in that
sea of sound that continued while the
second hand of a watch went round
and round Its dial. Then amid the
roar, those toward the front heard
the notes of America's hymn, scarcely
audible, although sung fortissimo' by
seven hundred men behind the pulpit
platform. Gradually the roar of the
cheers was transformed into the dia
pason of the entire seven thousand
men singing together:
My country, 'tis of thee,
"And on tremendously to
Protect us by thy might,
Great God, our King!
"The man on the pulpit platform
still held the American flag up to the
immense crowd of men as the sign
for which they should conquer, and for
half an hour longer he held it, some
times waved it, and once wrapped It
around five little boys for whom he
demanded the protection of all who
loved the stars and Btrlpes.
"That Is the way that Rev. William
A. Sunday wrought the climax of his
sermon to men in the tabernacle Sun
day afternoon."

George W. Broadbent, the janitor of
the Auditorium, Is lying very 111 as a
result of a terrible fall from the stage
Into the orchestra pit. A home talent
show used the house for a rehearsal
and after all left Mr. Broadbent went
up on the stage to put out the lights.
The switchboard and the stage en
trance are at opposite ends of the plat
form and after the house v. .s In total
darkness. Mr. Broadbent somehow lost
his bearings while passing from the
switchboard to the door. He walked
oft the stage over the piano down Into
the pit, breaking three ribs, one being
crushed Into his lungs. It was then
about 11:30 p. m. and although he
called repeatedly l.e was unable to
make any one hear him. Finally he
dragged himself to the street where
the city nlghtwatch found him nearly
unconscious. Mr. Broadbent is one of
the most highly respected citizens of

war with honor and for years has been
one of the leading workers in the
Methodist church. He Is past seventy

hold out much hope for recovery.
After staying out sixteen hours, the
Jury brought In a verdict of guilty in
the case of State of Iowa vs. R. G.
Mullen who was Indicted for securing
money by false pretense. The story of
this case Is an Interesting one. Over
a year ago, one Mullen sold $12,000
worth of stock in a copper mine to
parties in this countv the mine being
located In Aragrande, New Mexico,
where Mullen claimed he lived. A.
Wldmer, president "f the Numa Block
Coal Co., took the largest part of the
stock. The case is noteworthy because
of the string of able attorneys on each
side. W. H. Tedford who was 'udge in
the third judicial district for twelve
years, managed the case for the de
fendent. He was ably assisted by
H. Brown, of St. Joseph, and H. H.
Carter, one of the promlent lawyers of
this county. Opposed to this array was
County Attorney K. E. Sallman who
has gained great promlence through

FOR RHEUMATISM
In a disease so painful as Rheumatism, medicines containing opiatea
and nerve-quieting drugs are often used. Such treatment Is dangerous not
only because it frequently causes the sufferer to become addicted to th«
drug habit, but medicines of this nature are always Injurious to the system.
Rheumatism is a disease of the blood, and its cure depends entirely upon a
thorough purification of the circulation. As long as the blood remains
saturated with urio acid, an inflammatory condition of the nerves, muscles
and tendons of the body will exist, and the pains, aches, soreness, and hot,
feverish flesh of Rheumatism will continue. The one safe and sure cure tor
Rheumatism la S. S. S. It is nature's remedy for this disease, made entirely
of the healing, cleansing juices and extracts of roots, herbs and barks from
the natural forests. S. 8. S. does not contain anything that Is in the slightest
way injurious to the system. It is absolutely and purely vegetable, and
free from opiateB or sedatives of any kind. S. S. S. cures Rheumatism bv
removing the urio acid from the circulation, it makes the blood pure, rich
and heaalthy so that instead of depositing sharp, uratio impurities into the
muscles, nerves, joints and bones, it nourishes pvery portion of the body
with natural, healthful properties. Book on Rheumatism and any medicw
advice free to all who write and request it.
