of their schools, and as it was a pro-
motion and an advance in salary he
accepted the position. He filled the
place so well and acceptably that he
was retained for four years, and could
have remained longer had he not re-
signed to take up other work.
After working in other lines for a
time the gentleman again took up the
educational work and was selected as
the head of the schools of Grundy
Center and then came to Oskaloosa
as the principal of one of the ward
schools and from this. place he was
taken by the people of the county
and placed in the high Office to which
he is directing all his time and ener-
gies. The work of the Office has new
er been so well managed as under Mr..
Dodds' administration. 1t is a note
worthy fact that he has raised the
grade of the country teacher of the
county and the scholarship has never
been upon higher plane. He estab-
lished practical and common sense
ideas that have won for the county
the name of being one of the fore
most counties in the work of educa-
ton in the great state of Iowa.
Since his entrance to the Office a
multitude of duties have been added
to the work required of the superin-
tendent. He is made the head of the
county school library and has to SUI
perintend the selection Of all books
for the same. He is also the musical
director for all the schools of the
county.
Since he has been in office there
has been a county book adoption in
which he proved a very desirable
factor in guarding the interests Of
the county. Two appeal cases have
come before him. There was set
tlement effected in one and the ruling
of the gentleman in the second was
approved by the state superintendent.
The gentleman's work in the county
institute speaks for itself. He has
secured results from the work that
have been the wonder and admiration
of other counties. His methods have
been finding wide adoption and conse-
quent popularity among educators.
Mahaska county should consider her.
self most fortunate in being possessed
of so able and capable man for the
place he now so splendidly fills. The
voters of the county should see to it
that the gentleman is returned to his
place by an increased majority.
The Oskaloosa herald., 1903-10-15

The educational affairs of the county
for the past four years have been in
the bands of Mr.. James p. Dodds,
county superintendent. 1t is to his
lasting credit and to that of the coun-
ty that the work of public instruction
has never been upon higher plane
or upon a better foundation. The
record that the gentleman has made
in the Office has been due in part to
the early training that he expert
enced. This, coupled with devotion
to the work and natural ability, has
made it possible for the county to
have one of the best superintendent
that the state of Iowa possesses to-
day. Mr.. Dodds' experience deserves
special mention in that it was over so
extended and complete a field that
now places him in touch with all de.
tails and departments of the work.
The gentleman was successful
teacher in the county schools for five
years and then devoted a year to the
graded school of Richland and later
of Pennington, Van Buren, county.
He was next elected principal of the
SigCurney high school and remained
in that place for two years. The gen.
tleman then entered the State Normal
school to better prepare himself for
the profession of teaching. At his
graduation from that place he was
elected to the superintendency of the
schools at Brooklyn. He filled this
position so satisfactorily that at the
close of the first year the board elect
ed him for the second year. The
Brooklyn Chronicle, the leading pa
per, had the following to say of Mr..
Doods' election:
"The action of the school board in
,re-electing Prof. Dodds as superin-
tendent of the Brooklyn schools for
the coming year, will meet the hearty
approval of patrons of the school. He
is an excellent man for the place, and
has more than filed the expectations
of the board. Under his manage
ment and fine executive skill, the
schools are in excellent shape. With
his years experience and acquaint-
ance, he will no doubt work greater
improvements in the future"
Mr.. Dodds did not remain at Brook
Ign for the second year, for the school
board of Sigourney, knowing from his
two years service in their high school
his worth as an educator, rendered
him, without any solicitation upon his
part whatever, the SUPPLEMENTARY

A Cure for Rheumatism.

BRIDGEPORT, Wash, Oct. 20th.-Rheu-
matism and kidney trouble seem to
be the prevailing ailments in this ter
ritory and particularly in Douglas
county.
A remarkable and plainly sure cure
has, however, recently been intro
duced.
It is called Dodd's Kidney Pills and
although but a short time on the
market, it has already worked many
wonderful cures.
One of the most striking of these is
that of Mr.. John Higgins, who for a
long time suffered with rheumatism
and kidney trouble. The pains of
these diseases had combined to make
his life very miserable indeed, and he
could get nothing to do him any good
till he heard of this new remedy. He
tells his experience with it in these
words:
"Dodd's Kidney Pills have done
more for my rheumatism and kidney
trouble than anything else have ever
used. There is more virtue in them
than in any other medicine, and I will
always recommend them to all of my
friends highly.

Transformed.

3 Sir William Vernon Harcourt on one
occasion took dinner on British man
of-war, and, storm coming up, was
persuaded by the captain, a very small
man, to occupy the latter's stateroom
for the night. It. had been the cap
tain's custom, each morning, to take
q cup of coffee at o'clock, as an eye
opener. The steward was not mott.
fed of the arrangement made for Sir
Williams comfort, and, as usual;
knocked at the captains door at in
the morning. Receiving no reply, he
pushed open the door, as had been his
custom, when the captain did not read
lily respond, and, as he entered, heard
Sir William snore and turn over heav-
lily In the berth. He dropped cup and
saucer with smash, and went tearing
to the surgeon, to whom he exclaimed:
For heavens sake, sir, come to the
captains room! He's, speeches., and
is swollen to ten times his natural
size!"-Philadelphia Public Ledger.

Machinery in Creameries.

An expert in creamery management
says: Refrigerators are often too
large and not well built, causing the
waste large quantities of ice.
Damp, moldy refrigerators are a COM
mon source of loss. In covering ice in
the icehouse, wet sawdust, or an in
sufficient quantity is often used, re-
sulting in rapid melting of the ice.
Improper lining Of shafting, light
shafting or too few hangers cause in
crease in friction and loss of power
The same results follow where the
belts are not run at the proper ten
sions. The overlooking of machin.
cry results in increased wear and
tear, If nothing more serious happens
Sufficient oil, and no more than will
keep the bearings properly fabricated,
should be used. The experienced
creamery man should have his ear
so attuned to the ordinary noise of
the machinery that he will quickly
detect any unusual sound, so that he
may find out the cause in time to pre-
vent an expensive and annoying
breakdown. Very frequently machin.

A Splendid Apple Butter.

From Farmers Review: A modern
way of cooking apple butter with less
work and a great deal better than the
old-fashioned way is the following,
which method we have used for many
years: Take good, ripe, sweet apples
for making the cider, cook cider as
soon as convenient in a well-cleaned
copper kettle holding barrel or more.
For 80 gallons of cider peel and core
Is gallons of sweet or sour apples, the
latter making the finest butter, as they
cook better. AS soon as your cider is
we'll skinned put in your apples and
boil rapidly. Put in lump of butter
to keep from going, over in the fire.
Cook down to about Is gallons, being
very careful not to let it burn. Keep
it stirred with long-handled stirrer,
when done put in from As to SO pounds
granulated sugar. If sour apples are
used it will take more, but each one
can sweeten to taste; then boil Is min
utes longer until sugar is well dis
solved, pour in gallon crooks, and store
in a cool room and it will keep very
we'll. A good sign to tell when it is
cooked enough is when it is poured in
crooks it will cook out several little
yellow bubbles in different places. n 3"
: A handy little article in making ap-
pie butter is a stick marked to tell
how many gallons are. in the kettle.
To do this put in, your kettle S gallons

Milk AduIteration Abroad.

Doubtless wherever milk is sold it
is adulterated to considerable extent.
It has been commonly supposed that
authorizations of all kinds were less
COMMON than in other countries. If
this is so, it seems not to apply to
milk. The English authorities, how.
ever, keep after the men that are prac-
ticing the authorizations and seem to
catch good many Of the culprits. The
officials have ever reported that it is
no easy matter to get hold of adulter-
ated milk, as the sellers will not dis
pose of anything but the pure article
to strangers. In some of the English
towns the percentage of adulterated
milk runs as high as f6 per cent. Much
of the milk is adultreated On the rail-
way trains, when being transferred to
the cities and towns.

Electricity Aids Irrigation:

1rrigating by electric ally operated
pumps has been for some years III q
more or less experime entail stage ii
California, and has been an interest.
Ing pastime for wealthy or particular
~ enterprising landholders, says Irri-
cation Age Now, with the great ex.
tension, during the last year or two, 81
the territory reached BY. the long dis
lance electric transmission lines Of
the state, this mode of irrigating has
gone beyond the experimental stage.
1T seems to be fully demonstrated
that pumping by electric power is q
cheap and satisfactory method. With
the low rates for power which now
obtain 2 relative small supply Of water
can, by almost constant pumping: be
made to, irrigate ifair-sized orchard,
and to keep it in fine condition. With
the rapid progress Of electrical devel.
opment has come an equal develop
ment in it's use for irrigation. Al
ready many Of the older plants are
out of date and are being replaced by
the latest refinements in centrifugal
pump practice. Numerous old pump.
ing plants have been taken out and
especially designed apparatus Of high
er efficiency has been substituted with
satisfactory results. Ideas on econom-
ic pumping are also changing with ex.
perience. Until recently there was a
feeling among irrigators that there
was not great economy in pumping
against high heads for irrigation work.
This idea has, however, been dis.
proved by recent practice, and where
formerly Is or 20 feet was considered
high enough head, heads of from 70
to 100 feet are now quite common,
Previous to the advent of cheap cleo
trio power the orchardists in the or
ange belt of Tulare county had al
ready made an extended use of pump.
ing for irrigation purposes. The value
of the land in that locality for orange
growing, the dryness of the climate.
anu the imp-acticability of securing
river or artesian water for irrigating
purposes rendered pumping a neces-
sity. More or less extensive steam.
& soline and horse power pumping
plants have therefore been quite com
mon in the vicinity of Lindsay and
Porterville for number of years. AS
might be expected this locality has
been one of the first to take up and
make effective use of the electric cur
rent for irrigation.
