Horse Awaits Owner.

A sorrel horse was left hithed to q
tree near the Viola fair grounds during
the fair and the horse was turned into
the tair ground to await claimant but
no one has made inquiry for him. He
was saddled and bridled and pair Of
overalls were tied to the saddle. The
animal is not of much value and If not
claimed soon will be disposed OF to pay
for pasturage Inquiries should be ad-
dressed to the secretary Of the fair,

Well Satisfied With Results.

The Bioom'ngdale cresIlery closed a
years bnginass October 31st, and patrons
are we'll pleased with the results. The
years business amounted to $32. 745, So.
During the year they had 1913 patrons;
number of pounds of cream delivered
416, Ola, milk is, 1893, for which was paid
$27, ,S75; number OF pounds Of butter
made 146, 800 and the over run was 10
40 per cent. Average price paid for
butter fat % IA cents or 4-10 cents
above Elgin prices for the entire year.
Besides this good showing the company
paid its stock holders s per cent interest
on the amount Of their stock, making
in addition surplus division of 81, 655
80 among them. While other creamer-
les have larger field and Go a more
extensive business, If there is like en-
terprise in the county that can make
better showing for its patrons the CEN
SoR would be pleased to present the
figures. Bloomingdale is indeed forum
ate in having a good board of managers,
aud with Gus Morterud as secretary,
and j. N. Wigginton butter maker, the
business has been a winner. 1t has done
much for the farming community and

knows what happened to the individual

Last year, our neighbors of the Rich

The following is taken from Wal.
lace's Farmer
An Iowa correspondent asks for in.
formation about interurban roads and
their connection with and benefits TO
the farming business. and asks partic-
ularly whether the interurban will not
in a measure solve the good roads
question.
Few people realize the wonderful
effect the building OF interurban roads
will have on the western states both
In city and county. The steam road
drives population from the country to
the city. The interurban road drives
population from the city to the coun-
try. 1t seems paradoxical, but we
think we can explain this contrary eff
feet in very few words. The steam
roads concentrate manufacturing,
wholesaling and toa certain extent
retailing, in few large centers. The
manufacturer must have method OF
distribution. He must reach every
available point. He must be at a
place where there is some sembance
OF competition between roads. Hence
ne goes to the largest city with the
best railroad facilities, fuel supply,
etc. Population centers there be-
cause there is work and plenty OF It..
The wholesaling must be done where
there are railroad facilities; hence in
the cities of first and second class,
The interurban drives population
from the city to the country in this
way: The man who lives in the city
soon begins to realize the disadvant-
ages; high taxes, largely through the
wretched disagreement of cities,
small lots for dwelling places, no OPP
portunity for garden, no place for
the children to play, frequently bad
sanitary conditions, smoke, dust, dirt,
and heat, and the man who came to
the city with such big expectations,
such high hopes, longs for the country.
The interurban road comes, extending
out into the green fields; farms along
within five or ten miles are cut up
into acre lots of three, five and ten,
and the workman, and especially the
clerk, the bookkeeper, typewriter, the
attorney, and other large classes, find
that they can buy from three to five
acres within three miles OF the city,

shan, were more than 1000 men, of
whom only 72O were killed, out of a
total force of 10000.
How infinitely more terrible again
was the work Of the bow and the bat
tleaxe at the battle of Crecy in 1896
when our Edward H. and his son, the
Black Prince, routed the great army
of Philip Of France. The English
army numbered 10000 men, that of
Philip 10000. Again the longbow
proved its terrible effectiveness. They
were utterly unable to sustain the
heavy fire of its yard-long projectiles,
against which armor was but an in
different protection, and were routed
with the loss of l,200 knights, | ,4OO
esquires and $4,000 men of whom no
less than 10000 were killed outright.

able at the battle of POitiers, where
1900 English defeated 10000 French:
and so terrible was the execution done
by the English bowmen that ll,O0O of
their enemy were slain outright. Both
Hastings and Bannockburn bear adj
ditional testimony to the formidable
and deadly character of those old bat
les. At the former 10000 men fell on
both sides, while the latter resulted
in total loss of $4,000 in both cases a
heavy percentage Of the combatantS.
In the campaigns of Marlborough
there was still much hand-to-hand
fighting, for, although artillery had
taken its place in the battlefield, the
infantry tirearm was possessed of little
range of accuracy. Accordingly, at
Blenheim and Halplaquet two Of the
most bloody struggles of later times,
although the slain show a decreasing
ratio, the losses on both sides, out OF
a total of about 10000 combatants
were, in the former engagement, A.

CROSS BOW A
DEADLY WEAPON.
More Destructive Than
Modern Cannon.
Comparison OF Death In Modern
With Earlier Wars.

While we are appalled, at the great
loss of life in modern warfare, 1t Is
true that modern engines of war are
not nearly so destructive of life as the
now much-despised Instruments WELD
ed by our re-fathers.
Compare such casualty list with
the slaughter at Agincourt in l4l5, a
battle which lasted for hot much long
er than three hours between an Eng
fish force of $4,000 men under Henry
V, and $4,000 French led by their Con-
stable. 1t was the longbow and the
clothyard shaft which broke the
French army and was the most potent
agent Of destruction on that great day
in our military ANIMALS. Over 10000
French were slain outright, and two
or three times that number wounded.
With the results of this three hours
battle it is interesting to contrast the
sixteen hours struggle in Kinchau be-
tween the Russians and the japanese,
where both sides were aimed to the
teeth with modern weapons and the
position was taken after successive
assaults in the face of an apparently
murderous fire from heavy artillery
and magazine rifles. At the end o.
this prolonged contest the losses of the
yictors, compelled to advance through

or i've, for about the price OF town
lot. They can build just as cheaply
on that as on the town lot, have a
garden, chickens, pigs, a COW, a horse,
and can, in fact, get about half their
living of this small acreage, have
room for the children to play, fresh
air, refreshing sleep, the song OF the
birds, and hence wherever possible
they leave the city and 20 out along
the interurban. Wherever intcrurban
lines come you will find this cutting
up OF farms and this extension OF the
city TO the country.
Outside OF the vicinity OF the cities
the advantage to the farmer Is that 1t
solves in great measure the good
roads questions. He will need good
roads to the interurban station.
There will be less necessity for hard
covered roads leading into the cities.
In time the interurban roads will
furnish power and light chcaply to
the farm houses along the line.
More than this, they promise to
furnish competition with the steam
roads. The interurban can build a
switch on the farm and every man
who gives the right-of-way should pro-
vide for this, and the farmer can load
his stock or his grain and have it
hauled to the city practically without
cost, for the railroads will be glad to
give to the interurban liberal per-
centage of the through haul for their
service in picking up freight and de-
liyering it in car load or train load lots
to the railway station. So far as we
can discover, the interurbans are get.
ting about forty per cent OF the
through haul for this pickup service.
When the interurban lines are COM
plete they will be able to assemble
cattle and deliver them in train load
to the railways and thus secure the
short schedule for the lack of which
farmers in the west are now suffering.
These are some of the advantages
which occur to us as the result of the
development of the interurban lines.
Many others will occur to the farmer
who can imagine himself on an inter
urban line, or within half mile of It.
We think we have understated in.
stead of overstated the advantages
that will accrue.
