BOONE couNTY's CORN HuskERs
Nine Year Old Youths Remarkable
Record-John Yokum Hustler.


Boone, Dec. 1.-TWO corn husking
records are held by Boone county
people, or at least they claim to be
located here. Mart Bills, prosperous
farmer of Peoples township. has chal-
lenged any one to beat his grandsons
record. Francis Clark recently went
into the corn field and in six hours
husked thirty-six bushels. This does
not seem to be much of a record until
one takes into consideration the fact
that Francis is only nine years old.
The grandfather is confident that the
lad stands alone with this record and
has issued challenge to any one to
produce a better nine year old record.
Another record which is claimed for
this county is held by John Yochum,
also of Peoples township, Yochum re-
Gently was employed by Nels Herr
strom to do SOME husking. Yochum
drove back and forth, three miles each
day and worked only eight hours per
day and for sixteen days has a total
of 1,728 bushel to show Nels says
that he is proud of his hired man and
is willing to wager most anything that
this record will stand for some time.

SMALLPOX AT EsTHERvILLE.
Many Exposures Thru Schools, But
Disease is In Light Form.


Special To Times Repupucan.
Baskerville, Dec. 9.-Estherville is in
fair way to bear her share of the
smallpox prevalent in the northwest
ern part of the state. Within the past
week several cases have developed,
and as it is in such light form, there
have been many exposures thru the
schools.
number Of cases have been dis
covered where physician was not
called, because 1t was thought to be
chickenpox, or rash of some kind,
and in that case was not reported, un-
til some of them broke out in school.
All the cases are under strict quara1-
tine and it is likely the disease will be
stamped out in the course of a few
weeks. BY far the greatest discomfort
is the quarantine, but Mayor Galloway
and the health officers are enforcing
the new rules laid down by the state
Board of health.

ity Of Sixteen Hour Law.
Special to Times Republican.
Iowa Falls, Dec. 9.-Recent holding
of train crews at stations between di-
vision points the past few weeks, indi-
Gates that the Illinois Central, on this
division. at least, is strictly observing
the new sixteen hour law to the let
ter. 1t appears that dispatchers at the
division points watch the time of serv-
ice of each crew on their divisions.
and when the crew has been on duty
the allotted sixteen hours, the train is
laid up at the station where the time
limit expires, and the members of the
crew are given ten hours rest before
resuming their run. The criminal liza
bility of the road in case of wreck
or other accident when the train crew
has been on duty over sixteen hours,
seems to have impressed the roads
management with the gravity of the
law. -
