IOWA TOWN IS UNIQUE
AMANA THE HOME OF COM
 MUEIST SETTLEMENT.
semi-Centennial Will Be Celebrated Soon Organization Survives Many Privations. But Comes
 Out Successful.

Hmana Iowa the largest communistic settlement in the world. this year cele- brates it's semicentennial. after an exist ence which for privations and hardships is unrivaled in the history of any like sect in this or foreign countries.
 In 1S42, four leaders of body known as the True Inspirationists set sail Tor America. to seek a site for city which was to be the home of these people; a place where they could practice their beliefs and be free from the prosecution which their convictions forced them to undergo in Germany. The leaders, once in America, became the victims of lana sharks. and purchased tract near Buf- fao. where their followers settled the leXt year. Ebenezer, as the settlement was then known. was for the decade spent on the spot. harrassed on one side by Indians and on the other by the white land sharks
 Such conditions were not conducive to eommunistic life, and again the trusted four were sent to seek another home for the Inspirationists This time. it was specified. the site must be on the further 9ank of the Mississippi, and, with wis 5om br,d of ten years experience in the New York settlement the communists decided upon the site afforded by the Iowa river in the northwestern part Of Iowa county. Iowa, and in the course of q year the entire settlement had moved their belongings to the site The town was called Amana, meaning remain true and, despite the Ott-proven truth of the assertion that there is little in a name, it seems that prosperity and hap piness has been the lot of these humble Germans
 Communism has history which is a formidable rival of that of the Puritans There have been many attempts to estab- fish towns exclusively for these people but as the principles of their belief give each man equal rights. and as there has been, almost without exception, some ambitious person seeking to obtain more than his share of control, the settle ments have nearly always been failures
 With Amana il has been very differ ent. The leading lights who headed the movement were C. NJ Winzenreid, John Beyer. Jacob Witmer and Friedrich Heinemann. and these men always had the best interests of their sect at heart Since 1855, when the settlement was es- tablished. the number of persons ad-

The King of Mollusks-

The king of mollusks lives in the Indian and South Pacific oceans. He attains 10 a weight of 800 pounds, and the shell is of the biyalve kind. and the shape is about the same as that of our common fresh water mussel. 4ne gigantic Tridacna is the largest mollusk known 10 have lived on the earth since the Silurian age. It is found on the bottom of the shallow parts of the ocean, and the large indi- viduals have no longer the power to move about They lie on one side, and all about them the corals build up un- ii King Tridacna is sometimes found Tn 8 well-like hole in the coral forma- tivn.-St Nicholas.

herring to the sect has jumped from 800 to l 800. and tt.a towns have increased from the single little village of Amana to seven prosperous cities. At present there are West Amana. South Amana High Amana, East Amana Homestead Middle Amana and the original village
 When the settlement was first made lS000 acres were purchased by the soci- ety. and now it is recorded that the or eanization owns 30,000 acres. and its property is declared to be of eonsidera- ble value.
 The system of government of the soci- aty is that of a sort of commonwealth Trustees are selected by the members and from their number a president is elected. Each family is allowed a spe- cified sum as a general account Every member of the community is obliged tc work and the work is graded according to his or her physical capacity Laziness and shirking is unknown. The fore most industry Of these people is aari- culture. Amana Woolens, which arc manufactured in the Iowa town. have 6 reputation which is world wide.
