Renting Locomotives.

Hundreds of locomotives are rented
every year. Several corporations make
their chief revenue this way. The
Baldwins have many machines out Oh
the rental form of payment-that is.
the engines are rented in the same way
that you would buy stove on install
ments-so much down, so much a
month, the payments to apply on the
final purchase money. 1t is seldom.
however, that a railroad rents locomo-
tives. They are usually let out to con-
tractors who construct temporary rail
ways for hauling dirt from excava-
tions.
Contractors who hire the locomotives
usually have their own names gilded
on them so that the public may suppose
that they belong to them The engines.
as a usual thing, are cast offs. They
may have pulled express trains once.
but now they are only fit to pull gravel
cars. The engineers who work them
are oftentimes also the cast offs of the
profession They may have operated
express engines. but through careless
ness or other incapacity have been dis
charged from one road after another
until they are only fit to haul gravel or
wood trains. Philadelphia Record.

Saws Japs Brought 1t.

DR.. b. B. Holgren, of Wright
county, in a communication to the
DeIano Eagle on the "Small Pox
Scare" says among other things:
"The Great Northern Ry, employ
ed 500 Japanese from the state of
Washington and shipped them into
Minnesota to work on the Sioux Falls
division of the Great Northern Ry.,
so / was informed. They had camps
all along the line and every few days
isome Of them we're laid up or. 2
days then would appear at work.
The boys, when quizzed close, admit
ted mingling with the Japs some and
stated that they had seen some of
them sick. 1t was there where the
boys of Franklin town were working
when they came home from Willmar
and later broke out. In my opinion
it is possible for the foci of our infec-
ton to be in the Japanese camps.

rhe Proner WAY to Eat.

At a recent meeting Of medical men
DR.. f. A. Burial spoke Of the amount
of mischief done by the very common
habit of eating the meals rapidly, ac-
cording to the farmers motto Of
"Quick to eat and quick to work. ;"
Thorough mastication was of the ut
most Importance, and of course this
presupposed a proper condition of the
teeth. Gastric digestion was often
weakened and much distress was
caused by the ingestion of too much
fluid with the food, particularly at the
beginning of meal. Another factor
in causing dyspepsia was the habit
of eating food in silence or without
that mirth and good fellowship so
necessary to insure nervous condi-
ton to the normal action of the di-
gestive organs These little details
might seem trite and unimportant, but
it was the duty of the careful physi-
clan to instruct his patients in regard
to them. The long continued and free
use of digestive agents served to make
the digestive organs lazy and inactive.

Anew School Plan,

The citizens of Buffalo Center, ir
Hancock county, Iowa, enjoy the dis
tinction cf formulating and carrying
to successful conclusion the idea
of central school, doing away en-
tirely with the country school in use
making the township unit. The
ideal towards which all discussions
relative to the betterment of the rural
school have tended has found solid
expression in the experiment carried
out by the citizens of this communi-
| ty.
This plan has also been found to
be very satisfactory to the taxpayers
as we'll as patrons of the school. A
large school building was recently
erected at the cost of nearly $4,000.
Great care was taken in regard to
sanitation and the very best plans
for heating, lighting and yentilating
we're adopted. It IS the most up-to-
date school house in the state of Iowa.
Six large hacks or buses carry the
spnpils to and fro from the country.
The hacks will hold from ten to
twenty pupils aud the distance
ranges from two to seYen miles by
the wagon road The drivers receive
1926 per month and are restricted to
not use profane language or indulge
in liquor or tobacco. The average cost
for tuition per pupil amount to $1.75
per month, which amount includes
cost of teachers, janitor hire and fuel.
Under the old system the cost aver
aged $1.91, was never less and oft
times more.
The scheme has been tried in
number of Iowa counties, identical to
the Hancock county idea, and has
greatly pleased the farmers, as well
as lessening the cost to all concerned.
A number o. advantages are offered
to the rural pupils, as they have the
privilege Of attending the graded
schools, access to Libraries not found
in the little oldfashioned school
house found in the country, and the
percentage of punctuality is increas-
ed from 80 to "a per cent. Larger
country boys attend the public school
and comparison of the present re-
cords of the district school, compared
with the past, make some interesting
reading. Austin Transcript.

Jupiter warmer Than the Eart,,


Jupiter Warmer Than the Earth.
The gigantic mass of Jupiter has q
much larger warmth than that Of the
earth. 1t is the result Of the molecuIar
movement produced by the compress
sion of the strata and must be greater
the more powerful the masses, ana
hence the larger the pressure Of the
strata is. Jupiter surpasses the earth
In point OF mass 3O7 times, and for this
reason the inner temperature or indi-
vidual warmth Of the planet is proba-
bly, high enough to evaporate the water
upon the surface quickly, so that water
vapor forms the principal substance OF
the atmosphere of Jupiter. Water va

Injuries on Christmas Day.
The accidental discharge of shot

man about the arms and shoulders.
About thirty shots entered her body
in all, and inflicted number of Sc

SOME MEN GROW ON TREES.
This Is the Belief of an Indian and
Some Other Tribes.


The Sioux Indians still share with
the old Aryan and Semitic tribes in the
belief that there are trees that bring
forth human beings and others thai
bear various portions of the human
body, and in the fourteenth century
an Italian traveller on arriving at Mall
abar was told by the natives that the
country abounded with a tree that
bore men and women. The latter were
attached to the limbs by the neither eX-
tremities and were full formed when
the wind blew. but when the wind died
put they soon withered. These speci-
mems of humanity reached the length
or height of three feet
In the first book Of the Mahadharata
mention is made of forms of dWarfs
that were to be found on large fig
tree. The Arabs are still strong in the
belief that somewhere in the southern
ocean there is tree that bears nut
that resembles the face of man and
when in it's fullness the mouth opens
and gives voice to the cry: wax!
Wak!' The Chinese reverse the ofder
of things and. instead of believing that
the trees give birth to men. claim that
in the beginning the herbs and grass
sprang from the hair of the human
family. They have preserved the ira
dition. too, that somewhere within the
borders of the beautiful FloWery
Kingdom there is a wonderful lake by
whose margin grew trees whose leaves
developed into birds and also that, II
a jar be broken on the waters, birds OF
the most brilliant plumage Will at once
arise from the pieces and fly on.
In central India there Is tribe call
ed Khatties that claim to have their
origin from q stick Of wood. When
the i've sons of Pandu, the heroes
whose exploits are told in the Mahad-
harata, had become simple tenders OF

Without going over the ground al
reaGy covered in former articles o
The TRIBUNE, we wish this week t.
B call attention to the. confusing ac
kounting Of cash and stock transac
lions in the right of way division.
Referring to The TRIBUNE of two
lweeks ago, we find that 98S of the
1000 shares of the Morris Invest
ment Co. had been cancelled in ex
change for lots. Now these were re-
ceived by the company at two times
their par value,
Now the appraised valuation of the
property divided among the stock
holders recently was $24 ,150. The
par value of the 1912 shares was
$1,000. If all the stock holders
which remained at the time Of the
division had wished to withdraw, and
had withdrawn on the same basis as
previous members have, they would
= have been entitled to lots to the value
of SlO,12O, and the balance of $4,000
would have remained to the village
over and above the other properties
given to the improvement Commit
tee. But instead of withdrawing and
turning in their stock at twice it's par
value, the stock was withdrawn at a
fraction less than five times it's value
or in other words .$24, ,150 worth of
property was bought with $1,000
worth Of stock. Now when the stock
holders were able to share SO well out
Of the transaction, why did not the
village fare equally we'll, as it was
entitled tc onehalf of the profits.
But the village did get its full value
in lots, and thus we come to the all
important point of the whole cohtro
versey. The village were given their
lots instead of being allowed tol
choose them on par with the other
parties in interest. Why was not the
Improvement Committee invited in
when the division was made, or why
was not the Committee gived at least
two or three Of the desirable lots?
The question has been raised as to
why the village council did not take
; some action to set aside the transfer
<0f the lots to the individual stock
holders, and in answer to this query
Mayor Bevans yesterday made a
statement to The TRIBUNE pointing
out that the village council was not a
party to the agreement between I'm
provement Committee and the Nor
ris Investment Co. and so could not
take any action. The council consi-
ders that the matter lies with the I'm
provement Committee,
