THE LECTURE ON CORN
Professor Morrison, of Ames, Address
the Y. M. C. A.

Friday night was Corn Night" at
the Y. M. c. A, when Prof. w. p.
Morrison of the Wallace Farmer was
present to give an address on Corn
Growing" before a goodly number of
the young men interested in corn.
The address was instructive and help
full and much appreciated by those
present. Prof Morrison also encour-
aged the organization of Rural Club
in connection with the Association,
and spoke briefly of similar organic
atoms in other localities, telling of
the opportunities of advancement, and
believed that the cluJ could success
fully undertake corn show during
the coming December. He also sug-
gested that the Rural Club enter the
corn contest as a club for the Wal
lace trophy, valued at S45O.O0.
In his address Prof Morrison
brought out the following points:
ID The preparation of the SOIL (2)
Care and selection of seed corn; (3)
Advantages and disadvantages of va
rious varieties of corn; (D Grading
corn to obtain full stand; 60 BY corn
which he had he was able to Illus
trate the different points in his ad.
dress.
After the address the meeting was
thrown open for questions and many
problems were discussed.
At the close of the meeting the
members of the club met for their
regular business session, which is to
be held the first Friday of eacn
month. The club has made fine be-
ginning and hopes to secure large
membership. To illustrate the inter.
est in this movement, the Farmers
Institute has seen fit to contribute
to the Rural Club the Annual Iowa
Short Course Scholarship, which Will
be used to promote the interest OF
the club.
The committees will be appointed
at once and active work begun.

IN THE DISTRICT COURT
Disposition of Various Matters by
Judges and Jury.

The case of Hayes VS.. Ross for al
accounting, which has been occupy
ing the courts attention for the past
few days, was finished last evening.
The judge gave the jury instructions
this morning.
The jury returned their verdict be-
fore noon in favor of the plaintiff, Mr..
Hayes, granting his claims in full to
the amount Of $123.07.
From the testimony given it APP
pears that Frank Cunningham was en-
gagged about two years ago by lar.
Ross as a farm hand. AS the young
man is an orphan Mr.. boss offered
to take him in more as son than a
hired man, with the understanding
that If he remained faithful until the
age of 81 he would make him pres
ent of good horse and wagon. After
working about year under this
agreement the young man left the
employ of Mr.Ross and now his guard
ian, Mr.. Hayes, has brought suit for
wages which ne claims are due his
ward, Mr.. Cunningham, for the time
he spent on the farm at the rate OF
fifteen dollars per moath.
The court Immediately took up the
damage suit of Jonn Bolsem against
the Iowa Central railway for $1,000
damages. The plaintiff claims in his
petition that prior to February 1905,
he was employed as bridge carpenter
and bridge builder by the Iowa Cen
trail railway. On February Is he was
sent by the company to repair the
water spout near the round house in
the northern part of the city. In
making the repairs to the spout ne
was injured, two fingers having to be
amputated. He asks for the damages
on the grounds that he was employed
as bridge carpenter for the railway
and not of repairer for the water
tanks, etc. Mr.. Bolsem is represent
ed by w. R. Nelson and the Iowa
Central Railway company by the gen
eral counsellor, Geo W.Seevers of Min
neapolis and John o. Malcolm OF this
city.

A GREAT DAYS WORK
Deeds Filed Saturday Represent a
Total Value of $183,555.

Saturday developed an enormous
and unlocked for business in
the office Of the county record
err, U. Grant Deck. The gentleman
and his deputy, Miss Stafford, and the
assistants they called in had all they
could care for during the day in nst-
ing instruments on fee book and in.
dex and at times the office was crowd.
ed with people waiting their turn.
The day was undoubtedly the busi-
est that the Office has ever known.
The total amount of the business
for the day was $1S3,555.00, as rep
resented by the considerations men
toned in deeds Of transfer. This
is not considering the amount of mon
ey in mortgages or in releases. This
will make the record of the office Tor
the first of March far anead of any
previous record. The best previous
business was that of last year.
The business of the office is not
yet concluded, however, for many in
struments are pending in the hands
of agents and attorneys AMI many ad
ditional instruments will be filed
within the next few days.

ON HOME MISSIONS
Rev. Breed, of Grinnell, Talks AT
Congregational Church

Rev. Dwight F. Breed, of GrInnell,
one of the officers of the Iowa Home
Missionary Society, addressed the
people of the Congregational CHURCH
Sunday morning and evening upon the
subject of Home Missions in Iowa
and special collection was taken
for the work Of the society.
Rev. Breed presented the subject in
new way and his arguments, show.
ing the need for increased work and
funds were both forceful and con.
vincing. The speaker first gave a
history Of the home missionary work
IN the state and brought the work
from its inception to the present
date. This was interesting and in
structiye. Many of the hearer5 ha =
little idea of the nature of the Home
Mission work, but the speaker mace
1t all clear. His statements were
backed by figures and a synopsis OF
the work accomplished. He there.
fore had a broad foundation upon
which to build for the future and the
manner in which he handled his argu.
ment was pleasing and somewhat
novel. The collection taken will go
toward the support of the general SO.
ciety.

DR.. W. T. Campbell at United Pres.
byterian Church.

Attendants at the United Presbyter.
ian church had the pleasure or listen
ing to two sermons by DIR. w. Il.
Campbell, Of Monmouth, LII. Both
sermons were very scholarly, helpful
and instructive and were listened to
with great interest. The evening
sermon on THE Value of Man" was
especially helpful. DR.. Campbell was
pastor of the Second United Presby-
terian church, Monmouth, ILL.,, for
twenty-seven years, and built up a
large and strong congregation. he
also established the Ninth Avenue
congregation. At present ne is Sec
rotary of the Board OF Education and

that work in a very clear and concise
manner. This Board has the care of
all United Presbyterian colleges and
seminaries. 1t also helps worthy
young men to prepare for the minis
try.

the little noises made by a piece OF
slate as it cracks away and loosens
from the roof before it falls. A tiny
piece of slate or stone loosened by
the gradual movement may fall and
there is an inyariable warning of the
coming crash. Sometimes the sound

When the working" began Pritch-
ard sounded" the roof and tried to
find where the loose piece was located.
The room seemed all sound. This
was an Indication to MIN that the fall
was to be of considerable extent. He
imediately put in new and additional
props. All day Friday he put mis- ear
to the roof and in spite of the addl-
tional props he could hear a very
active working" His partner in the
room was unconcerned and laughed at
him.
Saturday morning when the men
went to work the warnings were still
manifested, but in an u1mistakable
way. Lewis wanted to go in and fix
more props again, as the roof when
tapped gave indication of being per-
fectly sound. Pritchard, however, re-
fused and hurried his tools from tue
room as quickly as possible. Lewis
followed HIS example. The men had
just time to get the last tool into the
entry when the props in the room
they had just left were crushed aad
splintered under crushing weight
and the entire roof of the room came
in, filing 1t completely with nous

remained in the room another minute.
they would have been caught and
crushed. Had they been under the
slate the bodies could not have been
recovered for days on account OF the
extent OF the fall. The men say it
was the worst fall they have ever ex-
perienced.

THE WINTER CLEAN

Fruit Next Season.

Dufing the winter Is time that,
with the Orchardist. there is very 1T.
tie that seems to necessarily demand
Immediate attention. This 10 time
when orchards could be given a gen
eral cleaning up with no great ex-
pense, and with perhaps as great re.
turns as from energies expended along
any other line of work connected with
fruit growing. The great amount Of
trash that n,s.urally accumulates In
orchards during the foil affords excel.
lent shelter for the numerous enemies
Of the fruit grower. Many of these
pests pass their winter condition In
or on the fruit and leaves left on the
ground and on the trees. The codling
moth finds Its winter quarters under
the scales OF the bark Of trees, under
fallen leaves, In piles OF weeds and
rubbish that may collect at any place
In the orchard or along fences.
Fungous diseases, such as bitter rot
OF apples, passing the winter on de.
cayed fruits left hanging on the trees
and lying on the ground are only
waiting to spread their contagion the
following season, just as soon as con.
dltlons favoring their development ar.
rive. One stage Of the apple scab
fungus winters over on the fallen
leaves.
