1t may or may not prove a just
criticism. but it is a rational con-
clusion, that one can judge By the
behavior of children in public,
Just what influences control and
shat authority is exerted to mould
their characters at home, and
under what conditions both men

Manners and behavior are the

For Sc. Louis Girl Discovers Long Lest
Father to Be q Thief.
Miss Elsie Swanson OF St. Louis re-
bounced her aspiration to become
nun because she believed her duty was
to search for her father, whom she
had not seen for eleven years. She
found him few days ago In; the coun-
T. jail at Joplin. q few minutes sitter
he was convicted of burglary and lar
ceny and sentenced to two years in

Swanson did not recognize his daugh-
ter, but she picked him from a crowd
Of prisoners in the main cell room.
Father and daughter wept in each 9TH
er's arms. She will now try to obtain
parole for him. and as he was con-
victed solely on his own admission Of
guilt it is possible her plea Of Glenn
ency will be granted.
Miss Swanson. who is twenty-one
years old. is the ward of the Rev. G.
G. Stahlmann. who took her from the

WEEK ENDS WE'LL.
Rev. w. A. Sunday breaches Great
Saturday Night Sermon Effectively.


Cedar Rapids, Nov. Fifteen more
Saturday night at the close Of one of
Evangelist Sunday has yet preached.
The text was from the first episIie OF
Paul to the Corinthians, lis: For
the preaching of the cross IS to them
that perish foolishness; but unto US
which are saved 1t is the power of
God"
Never has Evangelist Sunday shown
his skill and his power in making
spiritual truths plain to the minds OF
the men and women in the ordinary
walks Of life by means of practical and
homely illustrations. more forcibly than
he did Saturday night. Power was his
theme for the first half of his sermon.
Water power, horse power, steam
power, electric power - the several
kinds Of power with which the man and
the woman who toll are familiar were
taken up and described. And every
one Of his descriptions and his illus
tra,tions led up 50 logically and so ma
turaliy to the thought Of the power of
God that the application came with
such clearness and force as to startle
the audience. Even the ministers We're
astonished. Sometimes they gasped.
Sometimes they were so struck by the
singular clearness and force of the APP
plication that they clapped their hands.
At other times they voiced their APP
prevail in fervent "Amens.' 1t was a
Sundayesque sermon all the way thru.
Not the sermons filled with the Sun
dayisms which are usually displayed in
black type, but the other sort of Sun
dayesque sermon, the sermon that
drives truths home to the minds and
the hearts of the common people"
which heard him gladly"

TREMENDOUS FALLING OFF IN

Special to Times-Republican.
Boone, Nov. 1.-Two of Boone's
crops, which are always counted on,
are not nearly up to the standard this
year, according to report furnished
oy A. E. Frampton, the we'll known ex-
pert In horticulture. Many people may
not be aware of it, but it is fact,
nevertheless, that this county pro-
duces some of the finest and largest
quantities OF honey in the state. This
year the honey crop is about one fifth
normal Last year Mr.. Frampton alone
had a ton of honey. but this season
he has only two hundred pounds. He
stated that this condition, more or
less severe, existed all over the coun-
ty.
When asked just what caused this
he replied that the early long spell of
wet weather. followed by the extended
period of drourh, caused the shortage
in the honey crop. What honey there
is is first class. but the quantity is far
from satisfactory.
The corn crop this year IS not a
bumper yield. The average, according
to Mr.. Frampton. is from thirty-five to
forty bushels per acre, for Boone coun-
ty Some farmers have an average way
above this and some have an average
just as far below. The poor average,
according to Mr. Frampton, is due to
the area of low land which had to be
replanted on account of the excessive
rainfall of the early spring. This great
~ handicapped many of the farmers
and the crops being harvested now
show it.
Farm hands are also a minus guam
tity in this community Many farmers
have expressed themselves as being
practically unable to secure men to go
into the fields and husk their corn. Mr..
Frampton is one of these and he offers
top notch wages for huskers

HEAVY LOSS BY FIRE
Immense Barn on spauIdins Farm,
North of GrinnelI, Burned Sunday
Nisht-Larse Quantity OF Grain, Hay
and Implements and Some Live
Stock DESTROYED.

Special to Times-Republican
Grinnell, Nov. Last night about
o'clock fire was discovered in the
roof of the immense barn on the H
w. Spaulding farm, about two miles
north of this city. Soon after this dis
covery the roof fell in and the entire
barn and its contents were consumed
There were stored there 200 tons of
hay, 1000 bushels of oats, and about
$1,000 worth of tools and machinery
all of which is total loss. There were
also burned four mich cows, some pigs
and supposedly couple of ponies. The
FIRE had gained such Roadway before
it was discovered that there would
have been no possibility of stopping
it, even with large FIRE fighting faciii-
ties and on the farm there was MOTH
ing at all adequate to cope with large
FIRE
The origin of the fire is completely
in the dark. The man in charge who
left the barn about o'clock reports
everything to have been apparently
right There had been heavy rain in
the afternoon and evening but very lit
tie, if any, thunder and lightning.
Neighbors from all around in the
country and many from the city drove
out thru the mud to the scene, but
were helpless to stay the ravages of
the flames. Fortunately the barn stood
SO far away from other buildings that
they were not endangered, largely be-
cause of the thorough soaking they
had just received.
There was $500 insurance on some
of the contents OF the barn and prob
ably adequate insurance on the barn
itself. The place is owned by H W.
spaulding and occupied by Charles
Cessna.

foot bones are two and half inches

would land after each long spring

GUILTY BUT NOT ARMED.
Significant Verdict In Harris Burglary
Case at Cedar Rapids.

Cedar Rapids, Nov. 1.-After eight
hours Of elaboration, the jury in the
case of the State against j. A. Harris,
charged with burglary at the home Of
DR.. j. H. Smith, found that he was
guilty as charged. but did not find that
he was armed at the time.
The principal fight in the case was
over this question as to whether Har-
ris was armed at the time he com
mitted the burglary. If the jury had
found that he was armed, he might
have been sentenced to the peniten-
tiary for life. Under the verdict re-
turned. the sentence will be for an indie
terminate term. the maximum period
being twenty years.
This was the question which the jury
discussed for eight hours and with con-
siderable animation, not to say feeling.
They went out at 10 Saturday after
noon and returned the verdict at 10
o'clock Saturday night. 1t was gener-
ally expected that the verdict would be
that he was armed at the time.
