A SEED CORN SPECIAL
Burlington's Seed Corn Special will
Make Three Stops in Decatur
County--Prof. Holden with 1t.

The Burlington's Iowa Seed Corn
Special for 1906 starts Feb. 28th, for a
weeks tour Of the southern part of this
state, and will make three stops in
Decatur county. On Tuesday, February
28th, it will be at Van Vert, arriving at
1:20 p. M, and leaving at 200 p. M, GO
ing west to Shenandoah and then through
the western part of the state. On Fri
day, March s, they leave Charlton in the
morning and come south, the first stop
being at Leon, arriving at 900 q M, and
stopping here forty minutes. The train
goes no farther south but goes back to
Garden Grove, striving there at 1910 ..
M, and leaving at 1O:4O. and then on
east through Carydon, Centerville and
TO 1T. Madison. There will be only
these three opportunities for the farm
ers OF Decatur county to hear Prof.
Holden and the other experts who ac-
company the train, and we trust that
every farmer who can possibly reach
one Of these stations be in attendance to-
hear the addresses, for it is on subject
that cannot help but be benefit to
them. 1t is to be regretted that the
stop at Leon is so early in the morning,
but we will have to make the best Of it.
The Special is to include two audience
ears in which lectures will be given
simultaneously by two or more lecturers
each car being provided with charts,
maps, and such exhibits of corn as will
best assist in making clear the ideas
the speakers wish to convey. In addi-
tioh to these two cars there will be
two special cars in which the lecturers
and representatives of the road includ-
ing w. II. Mahss, Industrial Commits
sioner, who has charge Of the Specials
movements in this state, Illinois, Mis-
souri, and Nebraska, will travel.
The speakers will be Professor P. G.
Holden, of the agricultural department
of the State University, and Professor
A. v. v.Shamel, of the United States Agri-
cultural Department, Washington, with
several other prominent authorities on
seed corn, who have like Professors
Holden and Shamel, studied the practi-
ca. as well as the theoretical phases of
corn raising, and who will tell the
actual results of their experiments and
observations.
Immediately following the lectures
there is to be distribution Of some
special seed corn literature, covering
some points which the limited time will
not permit to be treated during the
lectures.
Schedules and circulars of instruc-
tion have been sent to all Burlington
route representatives along the south
ern Iowa lines, and the railroad is maxi
ing every effort to SO arrange the lecture
schedules that farmers and farm owners
may conveniently attend and derive the
benefit of whatever new information the
speakers may have for them. A similar
Special operated in Iowa by the Burling-
ton last year was q distinct success and,
the same roads specials operated this
year in Illinois, Nebraska and Missouri
have been, despite the very nnfavorable
weather, greeted with such splendid
crowds that much is hopcd for this one:

Entertained.

A pleasant social affair Of the past
wsek was the party given by Miss Hat
tie HAskett to about twenty-five OF her
young lady friends at her home with
Mr.. and Mrs. w. ]. Sullivan on
last Thursday evening. Coming as
it did in the week dedicated to tho
memory of good st. Valentine, the deco
rations were such as are supposed to
win his favor, hearts predominating and
violets, the little harbingers Of the
warming up Of the heart OF old mother
nature, being much in evidence. The
feature Of the entertainment was con-
test involving some skill and nimble-
ness of wit. A clue was given each
guest, which followed up, led her
through most laughable hunt to the
final goal where the game" consisting
of the name of some young man Of the
town was freed. The owner of the
name was to figure as the hero ofa
rhyme to be written by the contestant.
Miss Halle Moore carried off the prize,
box Of candy, by handing in the fol-
lowing:
& Roe Caster is very nice young man,
Goes to ID. G. whenever he can; !,
When the snow is deep and thektrains don't run,
He stays at home and courts the other one
A pretty style OF serving the lee
cream was much admired. Little flower
pots were filed with the cream over
which chocolate was sprinkled and in
the center OF which was stuck a bunch
Of violets. Miss Haskett was assisted
in serving by Mrs. Sullivan and Mrs.

y W. B. Redman, the we'll known stock
man Of Long Greek township, who en-,
Joys the distinction OF bringing She frst
Red Poll bull to Decatur county a num-
bar OF years ago, has made another step
in introducing new breed of cattle
which he thinks are superior to any
grown today. He has purchased from
y. +. Taylor Of Newton, Iowa, fine
thoroughbred Pollsd Durham bull, of the
famous Orange Blossom family, sired by
Athenian Prince, who was awarded first
prize at the International Stock Show
held in Chicago in Dec. 1908, it being
the first Polled Durham to be brought to
this county. The Polled Durham is the
new hornless breed originating from a
cross OF the old Shorthorn with the Red
Foil, and his new bull is eligible to rec
ordfin both tShorthorn.and Poll Durham
register. Mr.. Redman has long been
ole of our most successful breeders and
realizes that the coming breeder must
either breed hornless cattle or dehorn
them and he believes that it is better to
raise hornless breed.

When people lose their TASTE" said
a physician, they retain their old likes
and dlsllkes Just the same. Miss Smith,
for instance, can't tell a slice Of roast
beef from a fried onion, but she dis
liked onions before her taste went, and
therefore she won't eat them now.
People lose their taste through severe
Illnesses, and with the loss OF taste the
loss OF smell nearly always goes; hence
queer, cruel practical jokes. / know a
woman without smell to whom a pint
Of onion Juice was sent In cologne
bottle. She deluged herself with this
onion Juice and appeared in a crowded
heated ballroom
ITO a man without taste or smoll all
cheeses must be alike, yet old Brown
low won't touch limburger. He says 1t
would make him III, and probably It
would. 1t is very odd to hear these de-
ficient people praislng and condeninlng
food and drink. They do It, though.
