BIG IOWA CORN RANCH
ONE FIELD EXPECTED TO YIELD
$4,000 BUSHELS.
is Largest in the Word-Farmhouses
on It Make Small Town-Own-
er Passes His Winters in
Chicago.

Odebolt, Ia.-When it is considered
that there are such corn fields in Iowa
as Adams 15,000-acre ranch at this
place. producing 525, 900 bushels every
season, and employing regularly los
men, it is little wonder that the state
Of Iowa has a 400, 900, ,0OO-bushel corn
crop for 1906. Before long 200 men
will start on the 10. 900 acres of corn,
which will all be husked from the
shock. Then the stocks will be shred
ded for the fat cattle before spring.
This corn field is the largest in the
world. The full $4,000 acres was
planted with tested seed and is expect
ed to yield an average of more than
80 bushels TO the acre. This is consid-
cred a small average for Iowa corn
this season.
Thirty-seven double stalk cutters
will be used to bind the corn in the
field this fall. Mules are employed al
most everywhere to DO the heavy draft
work on the farm, and there are over
200 of these animals kept there con-
stantly. Mr.. and Mrs. Adams and
family are at present at their winter
home in Chicago and the farm is in
the hands of its manager.
With the exception of a large num-
Der of feeders which are purchased
every fall, no cattle are raised on the
big farm except enough milk cows to
keep the help supplied with milk. Last
winter Mr.. Adams had 5000 sheep
brought from his North Dakota ranch
for feeding. and it is announced that
he will do it again this winter as soon
as the present yard full of cattle has
been marketed.
The affairs at the farm are conduct
ed with as much system as in any
large business office in this city. There
is a main Office and headquarters
where the manager of the farm has his
desk. 1t is here that Mr. Adams him
self passes large part of his time
in summer. The farm is divided into
sections, and each part is under the
direction of a subforeman and worked
by his force of men.
All the houses of the employees are
located in one place near the center
of the farm, making a small town. a
schoolhouse is also erected here for
the children of the workers. The farm

were furnished to Mr. Burke by Mrs.
Roosevelt after considerable CORE
spondence.
Il cannot yet say" said Mr.. Burke,
how many families will be represent
ed in my compilation. but it will be the
most complete and authoritative work
on American genealogy ever attempt
ed. 1t will be published in few
months, and no family will be admitted
except on it's merits. Leading Ameri-
cans have been engaged for several
years in tracing their lineage. and the
results of their investigation have been
submitted to me for verification. 1t
has been an Infinitely difficult and la
borious task. but very fascinating.
When my grandfather started "Burke's
Peerage" he had complete official rec
ords to go on. l must search out the
necessary facts in parish and other
local records of nonconformist associa-
tions. in family papers and scattered
collections of manuscripts in Great
Britain, Ireland and America
The facts show that when English
men and other Europeans sneer at the
efforts of Americans to establish pedi-
grees they display not only discourtesy
but ignorance. The Hneages of the
leading American families bring to the
investigator extraordinary men and
women at every turn. and prove that
these families are proud and Jealous OF
their virtues and deeds. and are care
full not to marry beneath their level.
The persistence Of lines Of distinction
can be discerned right through the So
cial histor, of America
While the Americans who are trac-
ing out and authenticating their an
cestry are not actuated primarily by a
desire TO create an American aristo-
cratic class, they are in reality defining
what the world is bound TO recognize
as an American aristocracy."

SAWED CELL BARS WITH YARN.
Federal Prisoner Invents Odd lnstru-
ment to Effect Escape.

Leavenworth, Kan.-Out OF pieces of
wooden yarn. unraveled from a sock
and twisted together. prisoner in the
new federal prison at Leavenworth,
Kan, constructed an instrument which
he used to saw through the top and
bottom OF a three-inch steel bar.
That a common piece of yarn could
be made to cut the strongest steel
bars, tested with acids and resisting
steel saws. is discovery that not only
surprise police and keepers of jails
and penitentiaries, but scientists as
well. 1t is the first case of the kind
on record. as far as can be learned,
and the prisoner who used it in the
Leavenworth penitentiary is the ori-
ginator.
The prisoner was confined in one of
the isolation cells. A guard standing
on tier above noticed him working
his hands back and forth around the
bars and notified the guards on the
lower floor. They investigated and
found that the top had been sawed
through. The bottom was about half
through. The prisoner readily con.
fessed and showed the warden how he
had accomplished the feat

and its methods are a revelation to
the visitor. Adams is an enthusiast
for good roads and all through the
place he has built handsome drive
ways.
There is another farm in Sac county,
Iowa, which contains 5000 acres. The
land there is not all titled as on the
Adams ranch, and hence it is not of

The Split Log Drag
AccompIishes Mar
wells on Street

Street Commissioner j. J. Spencer
has adopted the split-log drag. He
has been giving the contviyance test
this past week on the block on Canad-
ian avenue in front Of the court honse.
This block was as full Of ruts and
mud-holes as any In the city. by the
use OF the drag they have miraculous
ly disappeared, and the surface Of the
street is smooth and hard.
Evidently the drag will accomplish
all its enthusiastic adherents have
claimed for It. If 50, the council
ought to keep at least one drag con-
stantly at work on the streets Of the
city. Apparently as long as we have
dirt roads we can care for them in no
better or more effective manner than
by the use Of the spllt-log drag.
Commissioner Spencer should be
authorized to keep the contrivance
going constantly, say those who have
witnessed the demonstration Of what
it can do.

ALL SMILE.
At Naive Statement
of Insane Man in
Court

TITS wonder to me our daughters
are as good as they are; we have one
son, but he takes after his ma, he's a
natural-born thIef."
This rather surprising statement
was made before Judge Gill this morn
ing by Ben Watts Of Muldrows who
was being given a hearing to deter
mine his sanity. The Judge, the jury,
and all the spectators smiled at the
statement.
Watts made a long, rambling state
ment, intended to show that he was
perfectly sane. He plead with the
jury not to send him to the asylum,
tho he said If they should decide to
send him there he would go without
Offering any resistance.
The jury was assured by DR.. Oliver
Bagby that in his opinion Watts was
of unsound mind. The doctor also
said that il would be best to put him
in an asylum, as one could never tell
when his delusion might take the form
Of murder. In the Doctors opinion,
Watts is incurable. He has twice be-
fore been in the asylum.
Watts took the jury's verdict Ct in
sanity very quietly.

City Council Repealed
Ordinance--PupiIs
Admitted

The threatened war between the
city council and the school board has
been ayerted In fact, it was very
soon demonstrated when the two
bodies met in joint session late yester-
day afternoon that the council had
been too rash in the passage of tile
ordinance fixing the amount Of tut
tion that should be charged in public
schools. And so, after the matter
had been DISGUST at some length, with
perfect good nature on both sides,
the council past an ordinance repeal
ing that recent measure, leaving mat
teis in statu quo
The two bodies were called to order
soon after O'Clock. A. L. Churchill
for the school board, then explained
that the school board was as anxious
as the council to extend facilities of
the schools to as many out Of town
pupils as possible, but that at present
the schools are crowded, and OuO very
few more children can be accomodat-
ed. He stated further that the sum
OF 81 per month for tuition, decided
upon by the council is altogether to
small; thatEthe actual cost per pupil
per month is So, and that if out Of
town children are to be admitted they
should be charged this sum.
S. f. Parks then took the floor, and
explainedgfurther that, even tho the
board were denying admittance to
out Of town pupils where there was
plenty OF room for them, still the coun-
Gil could not interfere; and,in the con-
tention, he read from the Arkansas
statutes, which specifically grant to
the school board the right to admit
out Of town children to school, if they
so desire, and at whatever compen

both Of the same project, However,
on his visit to Vinita Mr.. Gillespie
has never mentioned the other pro-
iect. A road passing north Of Vinita
wouldn't do this town any special
good, but, II connection for the west
could be made at Nowata, that would
be a good thing for Vinita.
Mr.. Gillespie expects to be in Vi

Of the Wallace Coates Engineering
company, who is going over the Ar
