Fort Payne Journal
 Some days ago a gentleman was in The Journal office, and the weather as usual was one of the subjects of con- Versation, the exceptionally warm weather for January being the chief point of remark. Having in his pos- session some old diaries of fifty and compare the weather of January, 1908 with that of January. 1858, and to the surprise Of the editor and his visitor the weather tais year IS . almost an ex- ago. The comparison was made on Thursday, January 21. and the old diary showed that the weather for January al, 1859, was exactly the same as for last Thursday, even to fact that 1t be- came cloudy after night. This would seem to show that the weather has not changed much in fifty years.

was great help to the farmers, and
when they go to buy horse they will
not likely be sold on their purchase.
Prof. A. H. Snyder. also of Ames but
of the soils department, gave some
good advice on how to prepare the
ground for seed Prof G. r. Bliss
made the farmers realize that the bugs
worms. insects and all other pests Of
the kind. were great nuisance to the
farmer, and must be exterminated to a
certain degree. ~

WANT ACTION REscINpED NOW
Many GrinneII Property Owners Find
New PAVING Objections.

Special to Times Republican.
Grinnell. June 26.-It seems to be an
impossibility to reach a general agree
ment in this city regarding certain
questions connected with the proposed
paving While the plan adopted and
ordered by the city council in their
recent meeting of parking the center of
certain blocks on Broad street was
strongly urged by some Of the prom
inent residents on the street where
such parking was to have taken place,
and met the hearty approval of many
others who We're not directly interest
ed, other residents of that district are
making strong objections, and a petit
ton is in circulation and is said to be
receiving the signatures Of a majority
of the property owners along the line
Of the proposed center parking, re-
monstrating against the action already
taken, and asking that 1t be rescinded.
The principal reason given seems to
be that the central strip thus left, IL
planted to flowers and small shrubs, to
be looked after by the city, would soon
iDe ieft without without I;-crrert rare and be-
come unstghtly, and If planted with
trees, so much time would be required

When the matter was first taken up
it was expected to secure sufficient

so those interested decided not to at

The local newspapers recorded the
coincidence of the birth of the thir-
teenths child on the 18th of the month
the next day, but nobody thought of it
again until Wednesday,. In the news
paper accounts, Mrs. Yates statement
that she would not part with her new
est baby for $4,000, played promi-
nent part.
Wednesday the mother received the
following letter:
Dear Friends: The Enclosed clip
ping has been floating about the state,
causing much amusement at our ex-
pense. The truth is, you have thirteen
more children than we have. Certainly
your little girl has reached the climax
of good luck. Born on the 18th, and
thirteenth in the family, equals twenty
six, which is said to be the king of
lucky numbers. However, if you are
at all superstitious. don't discard the
little visitor. but send her to us. Mrs.
Yates maiden name is Mary Sharpe.
We have named Your little daughter
Mary Sharp Yates.

A postscript said: "Of course we will
pay $4,000 for the baby if you will
change your mind"
My baby is going to stay in Tren-

say.
A second letter received yesterday
was postmarked Omaha and signed by
John T. Yates The father of the little
girl says the Omaha Yates Is a distant
relative. The letter reads:
Il have read about the little stran-
ger that came to your home on the
thirteenth. the newspaper saying that
you had twelve boys and one girl: She
should be made queen. We have no
children and my wife is willing to pay
$4,000 for the little stranger. We will

lily to see the home we have for her.

County Officials to Hold Annual Meet
ing in Sioux City in August.
Sioux City, June 24.-In order to
make plans for the annual meeting
of the Iowa County Supervisors Asso-
citation the officers of the state asso-
citation assembled here. The main OBJ
ject of the meeting was to make out
the program for the three days con-
vention and get the preliminary ar
rangenents we'll under way. Since the
setting of the date last year at the
state convention at Waterloo for Aug.
II. ~ and 10, it has been found that
the date conflicts with the grand lodge
meeting of the Knights of Pythias.
In view of the fact that either meet
ing will bring a sufficiently large
crowd to tax the capacity Of the hotels
and that there also would be conflicts
regarding meeting places, it was decid-
ed to postpone the supervisors meet
| ing one week, the date as now agreed
upon being Aug. IS, 10 and 20. 1t is
expected that the auditors, clerks,
trea surers and recorders associations
also will change the date of their meet
