Too Many Jealous Lovers.

Declaring that their jealousy has got
ten the better of their judgment, Miss
Clara Leahy caused the arrest of three
boys who were arraigned before Judge
Stewart this morning on charges of
disturbing the quiet of person.
"They are jealous because they saw
me walking with another fellow after
dark last evening"" said Miss Leahy
when she filed the charges. "They fol-
lowed me and my escort from Ingersoll
park clear down to Twenty seventh
street calling us the naughtiest of
nam IS and throwing wheat at us. l
want them arrested
The boys were Fred Barger, 16 years
old, Arthur Witten, II, and John Barger,
1S. Each entered plea of not guilty
when arraigned before Judge Stewart
this morning. Miss Leahy, who is a
pretty miss of 16 years, declared to the
Judge that the boys were always invit-
ing her to go places with them and that
after she had refused and gone with
another man they vented their Jealous
spite by calling her naughty names
She said the wheat which they threw
at her got into her hair and that she
had an awful time to get it out.-Des

osceola Dog Costs $40 a Pound.

]. M. Trumbull and family, who moved
here from Adair about two weeks ago
and live in the Hunt property on north
Main street, have a little yellow
dog that is not particularly pretentious
in appearance yet she has cost him the
round sum of $3.50 in the last ten days.
Last week while coming from Adair to
Osceola, with his son and daughter
and the dog-Mr. Trumbull had the bad
luck to lose his pet in Des Moines.
They searched for her two days but
without success, and he advertised ex-
tensively in every paper in Des Moines,
Offering $25 for her recovery. He spent
about 500 in newspaper advertising
alone and received about half a hundred
answers from different parties who had
found his dog, finally locating her, a
prominent business man having found
her, and he is still getting daily answers
to his advertising. In the meantime
the little pet is supremely happy, ap-
parently without any regrets over the
expense and worry she has caused her
owner and assists him in running his &C
horse power automobile. AS Mr.. Trum-
bull remarked to Sentinel representa-
tive, the dog is just plain dog fol
which no one would give any particular
sum, but she has been household pei
for the five years of her life and the
family are much attached to her and be
is satisfied with his investment. At {
rough guess We should say that it cost
about $40 pound to move her from bel
former home to Osceola.-Osceola Senti

All MoonShln

The agricultural department has
been conducting series of expert
ments to ascertain what influence the
moon has on vegetation. 1t has been
claimed by some that potatoes, to pro-
duce abundantly, should be planted in
the dark moon or they would run all to
tops and the potatoes be scarce. But
the experts of the agricultural depart
ment declare, after series of expert
ments extending through several
seasons, that potatoes planted in the
new moon produce just as abundantly
as those planted in the dark of the
moon, and that there is no foundation
for the idea that the moon cuts any
figure in the matter. We know hard
headed old farmer who kept tab on the
moon for many years and had the data
to show that the idea that the moon
had any influence upon vegetation was
erroneous. The idea evidently had it's
origin back in the days when witches
were burned and people believed in
ghosts, and like those antiquated ideas
will pass away in time.

Corn. Wait Till October.

From any number of Iowa points come
optimistic and reassuring reports of
the condition of corn, says the Mar
shalltown Times Republican. 1t is be
coming in one section, good stand and
fine prospect in another. Generally
speaking 'corn is fine"
Some low ground fields drowned par
TALLY out. Some were badly delayed by
wet. But these are simply climbing
skyward under the late July sun. "You
can see the corn grow" The outlook is
for an average crop if reports are to be
trusted.
Anyway Iowa is to be trusted. When
the windows of heaven are opened and
the rain falls and the lower fields run
riot with weeds we are wont to "Won-
der if there will be any corn Then
the dry hot days come on, the cultiva-
tors tear swiftly through the corn rows
and the marvellous soil of Iowa works
it's miracles. A week changes the face
of the fields. A month assures boun-
tiful harvest. We hurry to get over it
three times" and hope that we may
make it four ere the shooting stalks get
too high to pillow" and after worrying
over frost through September we drive
atield in the ides of November to sill a
thirty inch box Off four rows sixty rods
long"
Corn? Why, Iowa is one vast cornfield.
| When the creator sifted the deep, black
loan, thick between the two great riv-
ers, he prepared the seed bed of the
garden of the world. Corn? Why we
haven't begun to till Iowa as yet. We
are simply scratching her and getting
pleasant smile. When necessity
drives to intensive farming Iowa will
laugh in such harvests as the world has
never dreamed.
There will be corn in Iowa, lashins Of
corn. The big fat cattle will roll calm
eyes of contentment again in 10000
feed yards, the four square porkers
grunt complacent, unconscious of im
pending fate and the scalding vat
There is enough corn growing in Iowa
today to paper every sidewalk in the
state with one dollar bills.
Hub! Corn, we'll, wait until the 1st o
October!

MAY NOW SWEAR.
Supreme Court Holds That a Man
Has Right to Cuss Over Tele-
phone.

A man has the right to "cuss' over
the telephone. The Supreme court of
Iowa says he has, and, as the supreme
court is "Hoyle" when it comes to what
a man can do and keep out of jail,
it would look to man up tree as if it
went.
The decision that man can cuss over
the phone if he chooses was not made
in that way direct, but the proposition
involved in the case was the fact that a
telephone company at Boone had re-
fused to re-install phone for a man
whose language was not always that of
a deacon in the NJ. E. church. So the
man took the matter into the courts
and the supreme court finally passed its
Judgment that he was entitled to SER
vice if he was willing to pay for it. 1t
is, however, not to inferred that the
cussing habit should be fostered by
virtue of the decision, and it is we'll
known fact, though doubted by many
that to "cuss" at any time, either over
the phone or in private conversation, is
not proper.
But if you must swear over the phone
you'll not be interfered with, according
to the highest court in the state Of
