the high prices received for every

the automobile fever and are buying

the faithful old horse and wishing to be
in style with the latest and most i'm
proved mode of transportation.
Charles Baskin, a well-to-do Grundy

car of the latest pattern. William

It is a common thing to find the auto
in the farmers yard or housed in a spe-
cial garage in his barn.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Sept. 1:-John
Loges, a farmer living near Elkton,
had an interesting experience with a
vest hand, and, acting as his own po-
iceman, succeeded in capturing a thief.
Loges hired the harvest hand to
work on his farm and took him TO his
home, arriving there about noon. Loges
found awaiting him a notice that there

meal started for town. After his de-
parture the harvest hand stated he
wanted TO change his clothing, and
was permitted to go into Loges &pri-
waite room for the purpose. After leav-
ing the house the harvester hand asked
young son of Mr.. and Mrs Loges if
the swimming was good. The boy said
he could and they started out together.
Z In short time Mrs. Loges discov-
eredut that $50 in cash had been taken
from her room. She started for town
to inform her husband and met him
on the road. When informed of what
."I guess III 60 for a swim, too"
He drove rapidly and overlook the
harvester hand and his son. Upon his
request they climbed into the buggy,
Loges stating that they would all hunt
for water together. Instead OF strlv-
ing to find a place which would do for
swimming purposes, Loges drove to
town.
When in the outskirts of Elkton the
harvester. who doubtless suspected the
purpose Of the farmer, said he would
like to- get. out and walk up town, so
he could "get a smoke Loges in
formed him that if he would hand over
the $50 he would consider the propo+

he was neatly trapped, the harvest
hand turned over the money, at ;sthe

him off and say nothing. : !, :5 :.

NEW PLAN TO WEIGH AND
MARK TEACHERS PAPERS
Iowa's, State Department; Under New
Law will Lift Burden from

Webster City, Iowa, Sept. Iowa
count Is y riintendents,. almost without
exception, will hail with delight the
new law which becomes effective in
this state after Oct. l. After that date
the. examination and grading Of ap-
plicants for teachers certificates will
be- conducted on an entirely different
plan. Thereafter the questions will be
sent out by the state department Of
public instruction, and submitted to the
teachers thru: the country superintend
ents. When the examinations have
been finished, the papers will be sent
back to the state department, where
they will he examined and graded and
the marks returned to the county
superintendent.
The new plan will perhaps prove
more exacting upon the teachers, as no
leniency will be shown. All must then
stand upon their own merits. It mat
ters not how good a record the teacher
has made in. the schoolroom. Her
ability to teach will be judged alone by
her answers to the dozen or more lists
of questions submitted to her.

watchedS by philanthropists in all parts
OF the world ever since it was estab-

There are at present about twelve
families in the colony, to each of whom
is assigned forty-acre tract. Each
farmer has cleared an average of eight

half acres on each forty the first year.
There are piled up in the colony 700

An average Of five acres each is now
seeded with timothy and clover for hay

J. B. Bennett, who has lived in this
city seventeen years, and is pioneer
abstractor, SAYS that freeholders on the
west shore Of :, the lake are possessed
of many acres which are not plated,
and that others on the east side have
purchased and paid taxes on property
which is now under water.
/ In one instance settler, according to
the map, owned only twenty acres Of
land, but an actual survey showed more
than sixty acres in his lot, while others
on the east side have discovered, to
their sorrow, that they are many acres
shy of the amount stated by the gov
eminent.
