JOHN DIFFENeAuGH LOSES $3.50
"Professor' Faye Works Luck Bag
Graft and Departs for other Fields
of Operation Warrant Out for
Ciairvoyant's Arrest But He Can Not
Be Found.
Special to Times Republican.

Creston March 17.-Profcssor
Faye. clairvoyant who came here
some time ago. made many friends and
did thriving business. has departed
for unknown parts, taking with nm
$50 in cash. which he secured from
John Diffenbaugh by luck bag
trick. a warrant is out for the arrest
of the medium.
Mr. Ditfenbaugh called on Professor
Faye, and after conversing with him
for some time. related what he be-
lieved to have been Il very unfortun :
ate move on dis part, of investing Il
large sum of money in a western mine,
which showed no indications up to the
present time of ever proving produce
tive Upon asking the professor for
advice or assistance in the matter.
he was readily informed that it was
only a tritling matter, and that he
mediate relief for Mr.. Diffenbaugh' s
grievance. He told Mr.. Diffenbaugh
that he would only need to go to the
bank and draw $3.50 with which to al
low lnm to work. MIR. Diffenbaugh
was persuaded and went directly to
the bank and soon returned with the
money, and at once intrusted it into
the hands of his supposed friend and
helper. The professor now produced
Ibis designated luck bag" in which he
alleges his wonderful power is CEN
tered, and which neither love nor
money could induce him to dispose of.
This rare secret of the Sacred Mystic
Circle of India, so says Faye, was OBJ
tanned by him while in India. He
claims that money. jewels, or valua-
bles of any kind placed in this bag
could not be stolen, lost, nor in any
way could harm befall the wearer.
From jewels that bring bad luck or
have been stolen he promised to re-
move any bad influence they might
have.
After Mr.. Diffenbaugh's money had
been placed in the sack, the professor
proceeded to roll the bag into small
package and placed it inside an en-
velope. after which pretty little rib
bon was very neatly tied about the
envelop and a seal placed over the bow
in the ribbon. When the necessary
steps had been taken from which the
desired effects We're to be produced,
the professor placed the article in Mr..
Diffenbaugh's pocket and urgently
warned him against molesting it until
3 o'clock Sunday afternoon, 1T being
about 10 o'clock Saturday morning
when the operation was affected. Mr.
Diffenbaugh was unable to conceal his
curiosity and suspicion, however, OPP
ened the package Saturday night. He
found instead of the money he sWears
he saw placed there only some clip
pings Of an old newspaper. He at once
proceeded to the rooms of the clairvoy-
ant. but found that he was not in, so
turned the matter over to the police. A
warrant was sworn out by Mr.. Diffen-
baugh for his arrest, but all efforts
to locate the smooth CRATER have been
in vain. Neighboring towns were no.

System of bitches Transforms
Eastern Hamilton County to
Country OF Sure Crops
WET SEASONS DO NOT WORRY
From a Condition of Uncertainty tho
Farmers Now Grow Big Crops Every
Year-Canals as Numerous as Rural
Routes-Wilson's Rural Observa-
tons.
Special to Times Republican.

Blairsburg. March l7.-of the many
localities in the northern half of Iowa
that have undergone a surprising de-
velopment within the past few years
few if any afford a more conspicuous
example than does the eastern por-
tion of Hamilton county. From the
ago this region was regarded as q
very good farming country, il given
dry seasons but it was thought to be
too fiat to be successfully drained dur
ing the wet years and consequently
could not be relied upon to produce a
crop every year. But the men who
owned the farms We're able to foresee
the effect of the drainage ditch and
the countless strings of tile leading to
it, and at present they have one of
the very best farming regions in this
part of the country Even now the
cribs filled to the roof with grain
grown at home last year-a. thing that
can not be said of many places in
north central Iowa at the present time.
single illustration of what has
been done here in the way of drainage
Is given as representative of many
other successful projects similar to It,.
Shotgun Lake" body of water
uhn1It fiffv In "
last spring drained into nearby ditch,
and the bed of the lake thoroughly
tiled. This year instead of a lake, a
field of heavy cornstalks, bears evil
dence of productive tract of land
heretofore entirely useless Tor farm
ing purposes, but now worth nearly
500 per acre. Like the rural mail
routes these bitches traverse the en-
tire country and it is estimated that
two thirds of the land in this vicin-
ity is already tiled.
The modern drainage ditch, from
eighteen to thirty feet wide and eight
to fifteen feet in depth. is no inexpen-
sive affair, and this added to the cost
of tiling, means a big outlay on a
quarter section of land. A compari-
son of land prices here and in local
tiles where farms are as vet not
drained, however, afford some idea of
the effect on values. The owner Of an
eighty near this place was this spring
offered $4,000 for his farm but re-
fused to part with IT.. Another man
came here from an eastern Iowa coun-
ty and paid $4,000 for a half section
five or six miles from town. The
buildings are not at all pretentious on
either of these farms. The principal
improvement is below the surface Of
the ground.
1t would naturally be supposed that
ditching and thing operations in this
latitude would be confined to the
spring, summer and fall seasons Of the
year. but on what is known as the
Streveler ditch, the spade and tile work
has gone on all winter without any in
terruption at all. In the fall the ditch
was dug to the depth of two spades"
and filled with straw, which was re-
moved as the ditch was completed
A few farmers In this locality are
turning their attention to sheep rails
ing, a new industry here. and are en-
thusiastic over past results and future
