the fruit in Iowa this year is better

The following figures have been com
piled by him from extensive reports re

The only trees which nave suffered
any material damage are the peach
trees. Their buds have been killed,
uniformly, except when covered by
snow, and in many places the trees
themselves have been killed or badly
injured by the severe cold. Some ten
der cherry buds have been killed and
also some domestic Japanese plum
buds. but this damage is not very mate
rial in the judgment of Mr.. Greene
The mice have committed some dep
rotations on account of the depth of
the snow, nibbling the bark at the
roots OF many trees. but the fruit
growers are not alarmed about that
The strawberry beds never were in
better condition in Iowa than they are
now, except in those places where the
snow has been blown off them and the
number of these is very small Both
red and black berry canes have been
damaged little by the severe cold in
some sections.

CAMERA LIES FOR HUNTERS.
Pictured With Stuffed Game In Front
 of Fake Cabins.

Greenville Junction, Me.-The camera as an aid to certain class of hunters is being profitably used here by two brothers who furnish them with mis- leading photographs to show their friends at home.
 As a site for their studio the brothers chose spot short distance from this village in a place as wild as can be found a hundred miles further north. There is a camp built like those found in the woods, but with three fronts, or, rather, three of the sides are arranged like fronts of camps, all different. These are the backgrounds Then there are stuffed deer moose. birds and bear galore, hunting costumes and all kinds of camp paraphernalia.
 Two classes of customers patronize the photographers. First come spuri- ous sportsmen, who buy a deer of some guide and then start for home after spending the most of their time in mak- ing up tales of adventure, which they supplement with photographs showing themselves, rife in hand, before camp with deer and moose strung up before the door. The second class is composed of real sportsmen who have had no cameras in the woods.

PRAYER AIDS INVENTOR.
Wins Success for Man Struggling With
 Novel Device.
From the Chicago Post.

From the Chicago Post.
 There is an inventor in Chicago who as- serts that he received inspiration, not through hard work or experience, but through prayer. He is Alfred F. Standen, and his invention, which soon will be put on the market, is a device for measuring ribbons, laces. embroideries or any goods which are wound in bolts.
 Mr Standen during many years has been a commercial traveller. He also has been devout churchman. But of ribbons and laces and embroideres, according to his statement. he has known but little. It was in answer to prayer that he found the way to perfect his invention.
 As to the invention itself it Is simple thing; so simple that it appears strange no one ever thought of it before. A tape a trihe wider than the ribbon other material to be measured has a measuring g scale on each of it's edges. This Is wound with the ribbon. When the clerk wishes to cut certain length off the bolt he can see at glance where to cut, without measuring along the counter, in the old way.
 The measure on the other edge of the tape enables the clerk to see at a glance just how much ribbon is left in the bolt.
 At the time of invoicing, especially, such a knowledge will save much time. An other claim for the tape is that it keeps the ribbon in better condition than 1t would be without it, the doing away with the constant winding and unwinding Of the bolt, preventing 1t from becoming soiled or wrinkled
 There have been other attempts made to roll a measuring tape with ribbon, but they never have proved practicable for the reason that the tape and ribbon were wound one outside the other. When the tape was on the outside and a few yards had been wound it would be longer than the ribbon and the buyer would receive less than he had paid for.
 On the other hand, when the ribbon was wound on the outside it was longer than transaction MT. Standen solved the problem of having the tape give truth full measure by sitting it at each quarter of A yard. Through these sits the ribbon is woven, and when the tape and the rib , hon are taut they necessarily are of the same length and the measurement is ex- act.
 A company is organizing to manufac- ture the machines for making the tape. Eugene Bivert, a consulting engineer, has had charge of the machinery In its con struction and manufacture.
 The invention has been shown to many merchants and has appeared feaslple. There soon probably will be clerks at the , ribbon counter who have known the trials and tribulations of those who would measure the wriggling, writhlng. siiken strips who are asking: 'Why dloh think of inventing that?'
