dency at Buena Vista DIR. Reed was
instrumental in raising over $780,
600 for endowment, current expen-
ses and buildings, in addition to the
amount secured by the field secre-
tary. The annual expenditures Of
the college had increased from 3d.
600 the year previous to his coming
to the college, to $4,000 for last
year. The receipts for buttons were
more than doubled during that time,
and the development of the school
internally from an educational point
of view has been equal to the pro-
gress IN finances. The organization
and classification of the work, the
development of the curriculum and
the begetting of a college spirit and
atmosphere are things that have
shown to remarkable degree under
his ADMINISTRATION. 1t would seem
then that the board of trustees and
the active friends of I.enox have
been fortunate in securing presi-
dent with record for accomplish
ment and all are looking forward to
a new era Of prosperity and renewed
vim and enterprise for the historic
old college.
DR.. Reed will find a cordial PEG
pie awaiting him upon his arrival in
Hopkinton, and a hearty co-opera-
ton with all measures looking to the
success and welfare of Lenox, in
which all have an abiding interest

Another Good Man Gone Wrong.

He neglected to take Foley's Kid
ney Cure at the first signs OF kidney
trouble, hoping it would wear away,
and he was soon victim of Bright's
disease. There is danger in delay,
but if Foley's Kidney Cure is taken
at once the symptoms will disappear,
the kidneys are strengthened and
you are soon sound and well. A. R.

Denaturated Alcohol.

1t is fact that this alcohol can be
made from almost anything in the
vegetable line and therefore opens
the way for the farmer to dispose of
everything upon his farm in that
ling which he would not eat and
cannot use.
One of the misapprehensions on
the part of the people is that the
manufacture Of alcohol might be-
come sort of backyard industry,
and that the man with the material
(farmer) would prepare to manufact-
ure for himself, alcohol, denature it,
and provide his home with heat and
light, and his labor saving devises
with power.
The law provides against that sort
of thing and the Internal Revenue
and officers are now arranging to
place the matter upon a business
basis, the free alcohol law will bead
ministered strictly according to the
regulations framed.
Meantime, it will be we'll to in
form the people that the government
does not expect to tolerate farm dis
tilleries, for the purpose of permit
ting the farmer to use his superAu-
GUS waste vegetable product.
The law now being formulated,
forbids the manufacture of alcohol
in distilleries having a capacity of
less than 500 gallons daily.
This is partly because of the
necessity of employing a govern
ment gauger who is kept on duty
constantly at SIS per day, also a
storekeeper whose salaryis about 50
or 50 80 per day.
This is practically the same in all
other distilleries.-Clermon Enter

Jones County Times: For the
past several years it has been re-
ported that Frank Beckwith and his
son Grant, of Clay township, have
been using seine for taking fish
from the waters of the Maquoketa
river, in the vicinity of Supplies
bridge. Deputy Fish Warden Green,
of Sioux City, was informed of tie
violation of the law in that section
and decided to investigate the truth
of the report and in company with
Marshall Reddin of Cascade went to
the Beckwith residence Sunday to
search the place for a seine. Mr..
Beckwith was absent from home
when they arrived. They informed
the hired man who was present that
they came to search the place for a
seine and requested him to peace
fully open the house so that they
could search it. He complied with
their demand and in an upstairs
room they found 0foot seine
They swore out warrant for the
arrest Of the Beckwiths and they
were arrested and brought before
Justice Babcock Tuesday where they
were charged with violating the law
on so counts. When arranged in
Justice Babcock's court Beckwitf
pleaded guilty and was fined $50
Owing to the fact that his son was
under age he was fined only tn,

Starting "a Flower Garden.

Spring Is the time when the average
amateur flower gardener makes his
worst mistakes. Too often he buys
seed which he does not handle proper
ly, with the results that bare spots in
the garden show where he expected
beautiful blossoms. The young plants
that he expected to flower are killed by
the hot sun or choked under heavy or
dry soil.
The amateur who would rival the
professional florist in the radiance Of
his garden, should make a start now
by sowing the seed of many kinds of
snowy ANIMALS in boxes or pots, to be
kept indoors for awhile. The boxes
should have holes for drainage in the
bottom, but should not be so open as
to keep the soil dry. Ordinary garden
soil may be used in the bottom, but at
the top there should be lighter soil,
we'll mixed The small seed should be
sown on the surface then fine soil
spread over them and pressed down,
but not so hard as to cause the soil to
bake. Coarse seed can best be planted
In little drills, or each seed pressed
down into the soil, and the whole COW
cred with a thin layer of earth, as
with the small seed. The soil should
be gently sprlnkled with water immc-
diately after the planting. Only the
quantity Of water which the soil can
absorb without becoming soggy should
be given. The box should be watered
subsequently whenever the soil becomes
dry little below the surface.
1t Is good practice to SOW the seed
in rows, as this enables rne soil to he
stirred to prevent 1t from baking. The
box should be set by the window and
given plenty of light, but at the same
time shielded from the hot sun. When
the plants have grown to a fair size, 1t
will be warm enough outdoors to set
them out in the garden. Only the
stronger plants should be chosen for
replanting Agortums, sweet alyssum,
shapdragons, heliotropes. lobelias, mas
turtiums and verbenas can be treated
successfully this way.

How Curio Hunters Are swindIed in
Their Art Purchases.
Falslficatlon Of pictures In Paris has
become scandal, which a case heard
b the tenth correctional court Is likely
to emphasize, says the London Stand
ard. The case was simple. A French
man with Spanish name and an Ital-
ian with a French name kept curl
osity shOp-a collection Of old furni-
ture and old pictures scattered about
In two front rooms, and spilling over
on to the pavement, after the fashion
Of curiosity shops in the Rue de Pro-
vence. Some of the curios were really
old; others were only old in appear
ance. There were several examples Of
modern French artists"-the whole be-
Ing arranged In perfect fashion for TAX
ing In q foreign or provincial bargain
hunter.
The tricks of the trade were not dis
covered for a long time, but in 1903
the cosmopolitan firm sold five pictures
represented to be the works of Chaplin,
Henner, Zlem and Boucher. These pic
lures, bought for about f1,50O, were
given by the purchaser to his daughter
as a marriage gift. Some time later
the young woman got divorce and
went to live with her father, taking
the pictures with her. A friend who
happened to be an expert pointed out
that they were all false and worth only
a tenth of what had been given for
them. The dealers were prosecuted and
one of them fed leaving the other to
get out OF the mess as well as he could
This young man, versed In all the lns
and outs Of his dubious calling, patch
ed up very ingenious defense. He
quoted mistakes made by the Louvre
experts and other less remarkable cases
to show that he might well have been
deceived himself in pictures which
were undoubtedly good limitations. The
defense might have been successful had
not the prosecuting barlster asked for
the receipts given to the defendant
when he bought the pictures. One OF
them was signed by a Count del Drago,
who was brought up from prison at
Fresnes. and he admitted having signed
bogus receipt for 1920, although he
made nothing out Of the transaction.

Horses sometimes act disagreeable
when working In the orchard or when
cultivating corn or grain by trying to
get a mouthful Of the growing crop.
The best way to overcome such habit
is to muzzle the horse, but in doing
this extreme care should be used that
the horse is not injured nor seriously
discommoded by the muzzle. Take
heavy white canvas, such as grain bags
are made from. Cut this In eighteen
inch lengths and wide enough to go
around the jaws Of the horse comfor-
tably loose. Cut two oval alrholes
three by four inches, braid the edges

PREVENTS HOGS JUMPING,

ly and needs little explanation. Two
rings an inch or more in diameter and
two straps with strong buckles are
needed.
The strap should be wide enough so
that 1t will not cut the legs of the hog.
Place one Of the straps over the front
leg, after placing the ring in position.
and the other over the hind leg on the
same side. Be sure and buckle the
straps tight enough so that they will
not come off. Then take a strong rope
and tie in the rings as shown, being
careful that it is long enough so that
the hog can walk comfortably.
After trying one or two jumps while
this attachment Is on the hog will give
1t up as bad job, but the device should
be kept on until the animal Is complete
ly broken Of the jumping habit.
