According to the New York Tri-
bune, man who has been travelling in
Iowa has hit upon an odd use of corn
cobs. He says: Il made trip thru
out big part of Iowa recently, and II
found several grain shipping towns |

cobs become trampled down the walk
is smooth. Iowans who have been UNI
able to buy cobs enogh to start kitchen
fires with will wonder where these
corncoh sidewalks are located.
