SUICIDE AT CRAY
H c MUNDT TAKES HIS OWN LIFE

Had Been Merchant At Gray For
Some Time. The Cause OF Deed
Unknown
The people, of Gray, were very much
shocked and surprised last Thursday
to learn that Mr.. III. G. Mundt had
made what resulted in successful
effort to take his life. He had been a
merchant there and seemingly doing
pretty fair business for town of that
size. Just what led him to suicide is
not certainly known, but his habit of
drinking to excess at times is thought
to have had something to do with it,
if not the leading cause. The indica-
tions are that when alone in the store
about ten O'Clock that morning that
he made an attempt to hang himself,
in the cellar, but did not succeed.
Coming to the top of the stairway he
used pocket knife to cut his throat,
but became unconscious before he had
completed the task. AS soon as he
was found physicians were called but
they could not save his life, which
closed at half pasttwelve, Friday night
the funeral services were held Sunday
at the M. f. church in Gray and the
remains were buried north of Manning.

a FAREWELL RECEPTION
Given To Rev And Mrs vedder
Before Leaving villisca

Many friends of Rev. and Mrs. p.
V. ID. Vedder met at the Nj. T.. church
Monday evening in farewell social.
The league room where it was arrang-
ed to assemble the crowd was too small
to hold those who had come to bid
adieu to the pastor and his wife who
are called to another field of labor.
While the evening was intended for
one OF sociability yet there was some
feeling of sadness when it came to say
goodbye. Mr.. and Mrs. Vedder have
been citizens of our city for the. past
three years and to them their depar-
ture is like leaving their old home.
Their friends here are many who re-
greet their departure and it is the wish
of the entire community that they fiod
much enjoyment and make as many
friends in their new home as they have
here. Mr.. Vedder is one of the strong
est ministers in this conference and
the people of the Audubon church. to
which he has been transferred, will
find him power in his work and the
citizens of that place will soon learn to
know him as man of worth. The
number who were present on Monday
evening attested to the esteem in which
Mr. and Mrs Vedder are held here
The ministers of the different churches
were present and made short talks,
each speaking highly of him. Rev.
Newland, in behalf of the members of
the church, presented the retiring min
lister with an elegant gold watch,
and to Mrs. Vedder was presented
beautiful rug. Following this refresh
ments were served in the church din
ing room. To the people of Audubon
we are pleased to recommend Rev. and
Mrs. Vedder-The Villisca Letter.

Just before going to press we learn
that Mr.. Elmer Agnew and Miss Lucy
Frederickson were married and took
the train for Rock Island where they
will visit among her friends. The
ceremony was performed by Rev. p.
V. d. Vedder, pastor of the NJ. T..
church, in the presence of the relatives
at the home of the brides parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. H. G. Frederickson.
The bride has been a faithful employe
in the Central telephone Office, having
charge of the collections, and is a
young lady of ability and character.
The groom is the youngest son of Mr..
George Agnew and for some time has
had charge of his fathers farm. He
is one of the hustling young farmers
of this community. They will receive
the hearty congratulations of many
friends

SEED CORN WEEK.
The First Week in October to Be OBJ
served by Every Farmer.

The Department of Agricultural Elk
tension of the Iowa State Collegeurges
every farmer of the state to observe
seed corn week. If every ear of corn
that is to be used for seed in Iowa next
year could be harvested this fall not
later than October fifth, and hung up
where it would dry out thoroughly be-
fore the freezing nights of October,
November and December have weaken
ed or killed it, it would add millions of
dollars to the wealth of Iowa.
Do not wait until the time of husk-
ing to save the occasional good ear.
Much of the seed planted in the spring
is bad not becauseitwaS not cared for
during the winter but because it was
selected when the corn was husked and
mad already been killed or weakened
by freezing.
Twelve to fifteen ears will plant an
acre. Can We afford to leave these
ears in the field until We huSk the corn
during November and risk having
them killed or weakened by freezing.
Let us go into the best and earliest
planted fields and select we'll matured
ears from the most vigorous stalks,
strip of their huSkS, tie them into
strings from fifteen tO twenty ears each
and hang them in the attic at once
where the circulation of air is good
and protection is had from the freeZ-
ing nights of October, November and
December. On two hundred nine thou
sand Iowa farms an average of about
fOrty-fiVe acres OF each farm is devot-
ed to the growing of corn, and while
seven bushels of good seed is sufficient
to plant this let as abundantly pro-
vide ourselves and save two or three
times this amount so as to have pleu-
~ to select from next spring and so
that we may furnish sometn less fOrtu-
nate neighbOrS who may have failed
to save their seed.
Remember it takes only about dOz-
en- ears to plant an acre. Can we af-
ford not to give each ear special care?
We ask for the cooperation of every
citizen of Iowa in the general Obser-
vance of seed corn week.

bPPiN0 THE r
is Done and How the Horse
Would Be Protected Afterwards.

Again the matter Of clipping horses
brought up for discussion by an
pIowa reader who wants to know II
there Is any benefit to be derived from
clipping horses, and II so at what sea
son they should be clipped, says the
breeders Gazette. He also desires to
learn whether horse buyers object to
draft horses from which the foretops
have been cut. AS has been repeated.
~ affirmed in these columns, whether
a horse should or should not be
clipped, and when, depends entirely
on the use to which he Is to be put.
Nature supplies the long equine win
ter coat as a protection against cold.
That is the sole reason for II. II fol.
lows than that II the horse is used I'M
der conditions which do not CORE.
6pond with the object of nature the
coat should be removed. For instance,
If a horse has york to do that compels
IBIS sweating freely, II is a hard mat.
ter to get his long winter covering
dried out within any reasonable length
of time and the poor beast has to stand
for hours much in the position of the
nan who GETS drenched to the skin In
n rainstOr,n and has no fire at which
to dry himself. On the other hand, II
such a horse Is clipped and sweats
freely he can be dried in a few mo.
ments and under a warm blanket Is
jlst like the man who gets wet
through, goes quickly to a warn room,
removes his clothing and dons fresh
raimcnt. If a horse has to work only
Il little or at such labor that he does
not sweat greatly clipping is generally
unnecessary. Again the long hair har.
bors the calculations of the ska and
gathers dirt of other sorts. A clipped
horse may be cleaned in jig tine and
a warm blanket does quite as we'll as
b hair in keeping up the bodily heat.
or course it Is nothing short Of bar
barous to clip a horse and then let him
remain habitually exposed to the cold.
Blankets are cheap. II is believed that
horses clipped in spring do better than
those that are allowed to shed their
hair long. Buyers of draft horses pre-.
fer that the name, tail and foretop be
left intact.

Condiments for HoQs.

Condiments must be provided for
the hogs at all times. These are not
costly. They consist OF wood ashes,
soft coal broken into small! bits, NOR.
tar, ro<tcn wood or anything of that
character. Hogs eat these readily
and they are great aids In keeping
them In health and consequently In
