News Of Iowa.
Special to Times Republican

Algona, Aug. 7.--Ahout two months
ago some one reported to the T.-R.
that this city was overrun with ants.
and that they We're going to destroy
the lawns if they were not exterms-
mated. Some Of the finest lawns of
this city have in the past few weeks
turned brown, and the grass is dead.
And examining them it was found to
be grubs, or the old fashioned grub
worm which has been the cause of the
grass dying, the grass under which the
grub worm has been working becomes
loose and it can be rolled from one end
of the lawn to the other, just like you
would roll up carpet. DR.. Hipke, OF
this city, has undertaken to get rid OF
what he has under his lawn. He rolls
up the grass and begins piling up the
grubs and on a patch of grass about
ten feet square he has taken at least
two gallons of grubs. They seem to be
not only in one locality, but In several
parts Of the city, and 1t looks as tho
they were going 70 destroy the lawns
Wherever they are working the grass
Is perfectly loose. One can take hold
of it and 1t VIII raise up from the
ground, for there 10 nothing to hold is
to mother earth, as the grubs make q
clean job Of 1t, and cut every root there

ened into love at Grinnell, where both
attended Iowa college the past year.
Way left home Thursday saying that
he was going to Britt. and his bride
left Spirit Lake the same day, osten-
sibly for visit with friends at Storm
Lake. They met at Minneapolis FRI
day and were married, and then sent
word home to their papas. The Hon-
orable Tom was wroth, not because OF
his sons choice, but because OF his
haste. but held an interview Saturday
at Enmetsburg with his daughter-ln-
laws father, Senator Funk, ana they
decided that the young couple were
smoother politicians than their fathers
and that the Iowa idea was being M
fringed upon. Meanwhile Mr.. Clyde

A NATURAL, DIXIE.

the Volcanic Formation Along tho
Course of Fall River.
Nature Is full Of strange freaks, and
her agents-rains, storms, winds and
even dust-produce results that might
often be mistaken for the works Of
human hands, though frequently on a
colossal scale.
Volcanic activities are mighty fac
tors, and through them some wonder
full phenomena are wrought. One Of
these may be seen along the course Of
Fall river, in northern California. This
stream is of considerable size, and the
work Of natures gigantic forces may
be seen between the upper and lower
cascades Of the river.
It Ia what might properly be called
Z .svolcanic dixie" This dixie extends
for some distance along Fall river,
near its banks and nearly parallel to
the course. It bears close resemblance
to q roughly constructed wall, The
top Of this dixie is very ragged and
the height Of varying attitudes. In
some places it Ia twenty feet high and
several feet in thickness, and again
may be easily clambered over. The rock
Of which this wall Of nature n conn
posed ia of q very porous character,
bearing some resemblance to pumics
stone, though much more solid and Of
greater specific gravity.
That entire region il Of volcanic ORR
ain and evidently was once the scene
OF great erurtive activity. 6coria and
lava abound, though the face OF the
country is now thickly clad with timber
and brush. The dixie begins and ends
abruptly.
The wall Of the dixie Is evidently the
result Of volcanic forces, and has no
doubt stood for many centuries. It
stands clear from clinging rocks, has
4 narrow foundation, with vertical
walls, and IL very straight. The mys-
terry Is what forces Of nature could
have piled up or left standing this
rock formation so uniform. This dixie
has puzzled not few biologists who
have visited and examined it-Ameri-
can Inventor.
