Boene's First Train
Boone County Democrat

| BOOne'S First Train
Boone County Democrat
Forty years ago Monday
July II, 1855, the first regular
passenger train was into Boone.
For sometime previous all trains
had been stopped at Nevada
where stage lines took up the
passengers for Boone and Des
Moines. On that day the train
started out from Clinton with
the expection that Nevada, as
usual, would be the end of the
run. But somewhere on the
road, word was received from
superintendent |. B. Howe, of
Clinton, to continue the run to
Boone, and take the station men
of Nevada on board to Boone
to open up the new station.
Jim Lane, the regular conductor
having made previous arrange
ments to go chicken hunting at
Nevada, could not forego the
pleasure of the hunt, so left the
train to run from Nevada, to
Boone by some one of the depot
men, who had been taken on
board. There were three of
those, S. G. Annable, Chas. d.
Ripley and Fred Hills. In
order to determine in a fair
way who should have honors of
being conductor, these three
went into the baggage car and
Tipped an honest penny for an
honest decision of the question
and Chas. p. Ripley was fairly
chosen and therefore was con-
ductor on the first passenger
train that ran into Boone.
There were eleven passengers
aboard when the train arrived
in Boone. The engineer was
John Smith, now of Clinton,
who has recently been laid off
with a pension. T. j. Savage
was fireman and isstill in active
duty on the road as one of the
trusty and oldest engineers.
Cyrus Leslie was baggageman,
George Cross brakeman and G..
is. Eddy mail clerk, and is still
performing duty for Uncle Sam,
or was few years ago, running
from Belle PLANE south. Mr..
is. G. Annable became the sta
ton agent at Boone with Mr..
Fred Hills and G. p. Ripley as
depot assistants. After a few
years Mr.. Annable went east
and held responsible high rail-
road positions. Mr.. Hills went
to Sioux City, became manager
of the Great Northern railroad
and died a few years ago from
the effects of accidental poison
mixed with breakfast food in
his own home. Mr.. Ripley is
still a resident of Boone.
AS a further item of interest
it may be stated that the first
freight train from Boone was
under the control of Charlie
Moffatt, the father of Assistant
Postmaster Horace Moffitt.

TABOO DIME NOVELS
Northwestern Is Prohibit Sale On
Trains.

Trains.
Belle Plaine, Ia, July 21.-
The Northwestern Railway
company will soon prohibit the
sale of paper-backed novels,
commonly known as "dime lit
erature" on it's trains. This
has been done by many eastern
lines including the Pennsyl-
vania system, and the action of
the Northwestern officials will
not come as a surprise to the
news agents. Officials who have
abolished Sunday excursions,
and who run as few trains as
possible on Sunday, believe
that the wild-eyed detective
stories breed crime, and as
many of these books deal with
railway life, holdups, murders,
wrecks and other schemes to
rob trains, the companies feel
justified in suppressing the sale
of such literature as far as pos
sible. 1t is expected that orders
will be received within a few
days for train conductors to
take up all such literature
from the "newsies," who are
considered such a nuisance by
some railroad companies that
the boys have been altogether
prohibited from the trains.

SandbaGged and Robbed
While walking south on First
street near the bridge last night
about midnight, f. w. Hickman
of River Sioux was sandbagged
and robbed of 1924. When he
reported the affair to the police
shortly afterward, he was un
able to give any description Of
his assailant. He stated tina
he did not know how it happen
ed. He was coming from the
home of some friends and tn,
next thing he knew he was ly

bump on his head and two $1(

0uack Grass

OuaCk Grass
A bulletin (No. S3) on "Quack
and Wheat Grasses" has just
been issued by the Botanical
Department of the Expert
mental Station at the Iowa
State College.
This bulletin is illustrated
with several excellent cuts of
the grasses with which it deals,
and considers the Quack Grass,
not only in the nature of a dam
gerous weed but also, under
certain circumstances, as for
age plant of value.
Considerable evidence has
been collected and here set
down as to the worth of these
grasses for hay, and especially
as to their drought resisting
properties.
In this bulletin is also de-
scribed the best method of ex-
terminating Quack Grass when
it has assumed the nature of
an obnoxious weed upon cult
waited land.
The above bulletin may be
obtained by applying to c. r.
Curtiss, director of the Expert
ment Station, Ames, Iowa.
A Missouri Valley lady de-
cided to scare her husband,
who was quite a hard drinker,
so he would reform. To do this
she procured the costume of
the devil he had worn in a
masquerade. The next time
the erring spouse came home
feeling happy she quickly don
ned the costume. AS he opened
the door she stepped forward
and said in a sepulchral tone:
|"Come with mel am the
devil" The result rather star
tied her as the response which
greeted her was: ''Zat so

the remarks of a practical wo

! the most interesting things IL
the newspaper to her are the
advertising columns. "Long ago.
she says, 81 quit buying Of
those who do not advertise. Il
always seems to me that the
merchant who advertises invites
lme to trade with him, while he
who does not advertise impress
es me with the idea that he
doesn't care enough for my
trade to ask for it. Then too,
have found that the merchant
who advertises has fresher anC
better goods, for the reason,
suppose, he sells more"

The Harrison County Medical

The Harrison County Medical
society met at Little Sioux yes
terday and had one of the best
meetings ever held in the coun-

delivered along the line of pa
pers in the county. The Ladies

WHAT TIE COW WILL DO.

We know of Il W, te.a co. unity,
the land rather broken III lilly. but of
fairly good quality, where for forty
gears the farmers have been trying to
get living and save money by rails
Ing corn and oats to sell, with the re-
sui: up to two years ago that they as
well as their land had been getting
steadily poorer. 1t came to the point
that about twenty bushels of both oats
and corn were all they could raise
per acre. There were no cows, no clo-
yer, no manure spreaders-just oats
and corn and corn and oats for rota-
ton. Nearly every farm carried good
husky mortgage, and whatever comfort
the people got had to be obtained from
religion, for there was none to be had
in an agricultural way. These farms
were natural blue grass and clover
lands, but some way these people could
not appreciate the fact that they had
one of the best dairy sections of the
west, and so they kept on year after
year raising long nosed hogs and corn
and buying butter and running up
store bills, just getting little poorer
each year. A change came two or
three years ago. Some man heard the
cow gospel preached. and got some
cows. He did so well that others took
it up until great agricultural revolu-
ton was soon in progress. Today this
community is one of the leading dairy
and butter producing sections of the
west. Less acres Of corn are raised,
but twice as many bushels to the acre
as formerly; everybody sows clover,
the people have quit running store bills
and pay as they go, the mortgages are
looking sick, the soil is getting better
and more productive each year, big
red barns are showing up all over the
country, more and better hogs are rails
ed and, to sum it all up in sentence,
the entire community Is being regen-
Grated by the COW. This is an old
story-always works this way. Why
not try it If in a grain raising, grain
guarantee that it will work with you
as it always has with others. Put
twenty cows on the quarter section
farm, feed them right and care for
them and you will work out your own
financial salvation just as thousands of
other men have done. Don't like to
milk" you say. Well, then, keep on in
the old way, and the settlement of your
estate will be mighty short job for
the probate court.

SIMPLICITY IN LIVING.

A study of simplicity in housekeep-
ing would tighten the work of many a
tired housewife. There is great deal
of fretting and hard work done In
many homes solely with reference to
what outsiders will say and think
The social tyrant is most merciless
one, and few women there are who
have the nerve to defy 1t. Still. as be-
tween killing ones self in order to pla-
cate this tyrant and taking life easier
In defiance of what anybody thinks or
says, we would just naturally take the
easier path and let society chew the
rag all 1t wants to. And. now we are on
this subject, we would like to say that
because she does not want her daugh.
ter to work as hard as she did when a
girl and because it involves some lit
tie trouble Mt first to train the daugh-
tiers to efficiently help In the household
work, there Is many mother who not
only does her girls positive injury,
but makes her own burdens very much
harder to carry. There should be some
portion of the work of the home for
every member of the household to do
and do regularly. we call to mind one
mother whose girls were all boys, four
Of them. and she had so trained these
little rascals that there was hardly
any kind Of homework which they
could not do and do well. Yet how few
mothers there are who would ever
think for a moment Of training a boy
to be useful domestic help?

ABOUT INVESTMENTS.

We are asked about safe investments
for money. In what can man invest
his surplus so that it will be safe and
give fair interest return? The best
thing we can see is good farm land.
There are millions Of acres of land
which will not only pay at least per
cent in the way Of share products as
rent, but which are absolutely certain
to increase In value from % to 100 per
cent inside of fifteen years. These
lands are scattered all over the north
west, the southwest and the Pacific
slope. Any good land which may be
irrigated is certain to be worth 500 an
acre when settled and improved, and
quite likely much more. Any land
which will produce fifty bushels of
corn, twenty bushels of wheat, thirty
of barley or forty of oats for an aver
age of ten years is also worth 500 an
acre. Any land which will grow good
crops of blue grass will also pay per
cent on such valuation for meat max
ing and dairy purposes, so if you have
money to invest and know of any such
lands which can be bought for less
money than this it is the best place to
put it, for nothing is surer in this world
than this, that as our population keeps
on increasing, as it is bound to do, and
as very much of our heretofore produc-
tive acres grow more and more inn
poverlshed as it certainly Is doing, the
good lands of the country are bound to
command high premium. There are
thousands of farms in the newer west
now developing. perhaps not yet touch
ed with the plow, which are as an in
vestment worth far more than the best
improved lands of the east which rep
resent the toll as well as the soil rob-
bling of a hundred years past. Land
does not burn up or blow away; the
people will always be hungry and must
be fed.
