ow GERMANS AND ROCK CANDY
[Grundy Democrat.l


Grundy county leads all others in
the consumption of rock candy. The
three leading markets for that pro-
duct are Holland, Wellsburg and
Grundy Center. Wholesale grocery
dealers from Waterloo and Mar
shalltown say that Ackley in addi-
ton to the three Grundy county
towns named buys more rock candy
than all other central Iowa towns
combined. The Germans are the only
users of this product and they prefer
it to sugar and use it exclusively in
their coffee and tea. They are heavy
drinkers of the latter. Most of the
Low Germans of this county dine six
times a day. They are as much at
tached to their tea as the Yankee is
to his tobacco. AS soon as they are
up in the morning they have their tea
before they go out to their chores.
After that they take their breakfast.
Their morning meal is followed during
the day by lunch, dinner lunch and
supper. Either tea or coffee makes
part of the bill of fare at each meal
and this accounts for the enormous
consumption of rock candy. The six
meals day are eaten the year
round.

ers." Mellowing up on this subject
the Hawkeye goes on to say that "un-
der the careful supervision of the
state board of control, a number of
the state institutions are making mag
nificent strides forward, and some of
them are being brought near the
point where they will cease to require
assistance from the state. One can
not help but wonder if it really be-
lieves what it wrote. The state in
stitution" at Vinton is a. school and
is filled with children who never see
and care less for the hogs that roam
in the lot. They would hardly seem
to be successful farmers and stock
raisers." The hogs at the estate in
stitution" at Vinton are raised from
the kitchen waste and are fatted on
40 cent corn, and any other farmer
would ego broke" if he fatted hogs the
same way. If any of the Estate insti-
tutions'' have given any sign that they
are being brought near to the point
where they will cease to require as
sistance from the state" it hasn't been
shown in the increa sed support an
propriat;ons of the last several legis-
latures. The Hawkeye will never see
the state levy two mills again.

1t is luckily only a short dream OF
greatness that the graduate has. He
soons finds out that presidents and
governors are made, not so much by
books as by their own efforts. The coll
lege graduate as he stands, diploma in
hand, ready to leave his alma mater, Is
at just the same place as the young
farmer, who leaves the pillow to try for
other things. Each has been taught
the preliminary step. The college
graduate in the field of books and the
farmer boy in the field Of toll. To the
high school boy or girl just before
graduating, everything looks bright, it
is only step to a profession and then
success. 1t does look easy, but for
tunately it is not. Success is worth
having, but it comes higher than the
coming graduate thinks, and he will
find out where the pinch comes when
he leaves school and seeks his place
among people Of the world. His am
billions will receive many a set back,
but perseverance will win. The ambi-
tious person is the only one worth
while even tho it be ambition grown
while plugging over school books and
really only a dream.

THE PRINCE OF BUFFERS.
His Resourcefulness Saved His Mis-
tress in an Awkward
Situation.

Tho late Thomas Coldwell, the inventor
of the lawn mower, was great admirer
of witty and alert pe.aons.
At dinner in New York Mr.. Coldwell
said OF a famous millionaire:
This man, through hard luck, once
had to work as a butler. He made an ex-
cellent butler. Let me give you an in
stance of the sort of work he did.
His mistress was giving a dinner party
of Il covers on a certain evening. One
of the courses consisted of scaloped oy-
tters ia silver shells. The set Of silver
shells was broken-there were only IL.
The mistress, therefore, told the butler
that she would not eat any oysters, and
thus there would be just enough to go
around.
'The butler, when the oyster course
came, placed before the lady one of the
shells. To his horror, she did not de
cline it. Calmly she let it rest before
her. II she started to eat it, one guest
would be short of oysters. What was
the matter with her, anyhow?
The butler watched her nervously She
took up her fork. She was actually about
TO plunge it into the dainty shell. Then
the man, ever alert and ready, flew to her
side and bent over her respectfully:
" Pardon me, madam he murmured
but you said | was to remind you that
the doctor forbade your eating oysterds
on auy account"

HONEST PHYSICIAN

Here is a pretty experiment show

to prevent the passage of air.

closely so closely, indeed. that you
may swing them as a pendulum with

"GOLD SHIP" AND ITS WORK
Remarkable Dredge Which Operates
in Its Own Pond and Works
Over Old Gold Placers.

The present yield of gold is double
what it was ten years ago, amounting
to $1,000,000 day; but within the next
ten years it bids fair to double again
so we are told by no less an author
ity than Alexander Del Mar, writing in
the Engineering Magazine. The in
crease in the past, he says, has been
due to the abandonment of silver min
ing, and the invention of the cyanide
process. That in the future will be
caused by the use of the gold dredge,
which he calls "a weird invention, a
wonderful thing, a gold ship that
moves over the land and ex-
tracts every particle of gold out of the
long-neglected placers." This ''phan-
tom ship" is now beginning to clean up

joint so that air cannot pass through
it. Cut a ring from a sheet of rubber
and put the goblets under water as
before. Into one of them put piece
of ice, and over its brim place the rub
Der ring, bringing the other goblet
against the ring, too, so that they are
mouth to mouth, with only the fiat
rubber ring between them.
Now, when the ice begins to melt,
the contents of that goblet contract,
forming a vacuum, and the pressure
of the outside air holds the goblets so
closely together that you may handle
them out OF the water without their
separating.
To have perfect success with these
experiments it is only necessary TO
use care in preparing for them.
