Our average yield of wheat per acre -twenty-four
bushels would delight the
heart of the Iowa farmer who epcta
only tificfo at must. There have been
some greatyields in Dnkola tins year.but
an averuee of Cfieen luahels per acre in
amx-cMive years would be demed sot is
factory. It is believed lhslur fair and
fruilful Oteiron would produce an aver-
axe of nearly forty bushels per acre if
the same effort were applied in cultiva

It was an -evening school In ProvJ
denee. There waa a class of restless, dirty
newsboy and bootblacks on the front
seat, trying to see how little they could
study and bow much they could annoy
the tcarhei. Finally the teacher called
up the class and put them through the
catechism on United Status history.
"Who discovered America?"
Nobody seemed to know, and the
teacher, a long suffering student from
the university, lost lib patient-. Shut
ting his book with a bang, he dismissed
the class with these snrcuetio remarks:
"Well, when one of you boy get to
the point where ho needs to have tome
one vote for hiiu as governor or preeb
deut, he will be anltamcd to think be
doesn't know who discovered Americar
One of the wickedest looking of the
boys raised bis grimy paw.
"Well, Tom, what is itf
"I know who discovered America."
"Why didn't yon tell, thenr asked the
teacher sharply.
"Cos I didn't want to tell nil I know,"
said Tom, while the class went off into a
roar. The teacher called up the ad
vanced class in spelling, and there was a
suillo on his face, the rest of tho evening.

"Then it's time you leaniedt Pick tip
