agriculture at Iowa college. Ames,
To-: secretary of agriculture since
1897.
While the large majority of farm
ers leaving the county this spring
went west, a few cast their lot to
the eastward. Among these was Mr..
Henry c. Blohm, who came out from
Clinton county six years ago and
bought land in section 81, Milford
township. He has recently sold his
place to MIR. Chris Hennings and
bought farm within four miles Of
Dewitt in Clinton county and will
live there. His wife's people reside
in that locality. The new farm cost
him $125 an acre. Mr.. Blohm is
i fine, strong German, and will make
!, things move on the new place., He
has paid for the Review nearly two
years ahead thus showing what he
thinks Of the paper. May good luck
attend him. -'.:s7 ~
81 One Of the active, rustling young
men of Boyer township, Mr.. ]. A.
Rannells was in town last week
His father W. G. Rannells, has been
nia Review reader for fully thirty
" years. He and his wife are about to
. move from the farm in Boyer to
. Dunlap. In the days Of sixteen years
. ago, their daughter, Miss Flora, was
: one Of the most successful Of the pri-
3 mary teachers in our schools. Her
death was severe loss to the parents
as she was young woman Of most
lovable character. Her sister, Min
. ME, was also about that time, a school
teacher here. Mr.. j. A. Rannells
and other brothers will remain out in
the country on the land which amounts
to many acres, and batch it.
Mr.. Knut Mattson. who has lived
for many years in Stockholm own
ship not far from the Lutheran church.
!; will move with his family to near
Oskaloosa, Iowa. They will be on
farm within two miles of that -four
ishing city. This will give the chill
dren chance to gain a superior edu-
cation without leaving home. MIR.
Mattson will have the Review as in
the years past. He says his wife was
ins;stent on that. for thus she will
get all the news as to the old neigh
bors about Boyer and Kiron. They
read the Sunday School column every
week and Mr.. Mattson says he wants
that, too. 1t is wise for man with
a large family to move to place
where the children can get good
schooling.
1t would appear that one of. the
blessings which the discovery of the
many uses of electricity has brought
to mankind. is to help in defective
hearing. This is brought to mind by
receiving call last week from Mr..
Stanely Browne. the we'll known
school teacher from Deloit. AS is
known, he has been troubled with lack
Of perfect hearing for many wears.
He now feels however. that his per-
ception of sound is greatly increased
by the use of what is called an
"Acoustican." The apparatus is
worn so to be plainly seen. There is
first something attached to the lapel
of the coat about three times as big
as watch. This catches the sound
waves. which are made louder ana
stronger by small electric battery
carried in the vest pocket. These
sound waves are carried on to the ear.
The sound receiver, battery and APP
pliances in the ear are connected to-
gether with small cords containing
electric wires. The ear appliance is
held in place by light attachment
fitting over the head. Mr.. Browne is
very we'll pleased and feels like a
new man. We arc glad that both he
and others whose difficulty in hearing
