Going to Buy an Auto?

If you are contemplating the pur-
chase of an automobile for use the
coming season, we urge you to care
fully consider the Maxwell line be-
fore deciding what machine to buy.
We believe there is no machine
manufactured in America that will
give such perfect satisfaction and
such absolute reliability as the Max
we'll. Nor is there a machine that
is so easy riding, so easy to operate,
or so economical in the use of gaso-
line, upkeep, repairs, ETC., as the
Maxwell. For the same money we
do not think it can be excelled. Ask
any person who owns a Maxwell;
that is the best recommendation of
a car. We have the exclusive agen-
cy for the Maxwell machines in Win
neshiek county, and will be pleased
to submit catalogue, prices, etc.
Don't put off buying until spring.
Then you may not be able to get
delivery of machine before late in
the summer. Come in and talk to
us about the Maxwell.

RURAL SCHOOL DIPLOMAS.
Certificates Will Be Given For First
Time i'm History of Iowa.

For the first time in the state of
Iowa, rural school pupils through
out the state will this year be given
opportunity to secure diplomas.
These will signify that they have
completed the course required by the
state and will admit them without
examination into any regular high
school in Iowa.
These examinations will be held
May 5, 6, and Z in every county.
County superintendent are now
sending out notices to all the teach
ers that these examinations will be
held in every town in the county
and urging teachers to induce their
pupils who have completed the rural
school course to go to the town near
est their school and try for diplo-
ma. 1t is believed that many will
do this, even those who have no in
tention of entering high school, be-
cause a diploma regularly issued
showing they have passed the graded
school course, will be a valued pos
session by many young people.

STRANGE CASE AT EUREKA.
Piece of Cloth a Yard Long Removed.
From WOman's BOdy.-Physi-
clans Surprised.

The recent case of Mrs. Winkler,
wife Of a prominent physician at
Bryant, from whose body pair of
surgeons forceps were removed at
a Sioux Falls hospital, the forceps
having been overlooked when she
had an operation year or more ago
at an eastern hospital, has a coun-
terpart in a case just reported from
Emery, where a new hospital re-
Gently was established.
Mrs. Sippert, of Eureka, about a
year ago was operated on at a hos
pital outside South Dakota, but in
stead of being relieved she has since
been very sick woman. AS last
resort, she was taken to the hospital
at Emery few days ago. The case
was diagnosed as an adhesion of the
intestines, but the physicians were
wholly mystified as to the cause of
1t.
The surprise of the physicians can
be imagined when, after two hours
hard work loosening the bowels,
which had grown together, they
pulled from the body of Mrs. Sipert
cloth about yard long, which
had been there since the first oper-
alton outside the state, and which
the surgeons who performed the
first operation had forgotten to re-
move.
Mrs. Sippert now is reported to be
doing we'll, with every chance of
once more becoming a well and
strong woman.

BLAME THE WOMEN.
Howard Ram Tells How the Women
Fix the Men Folk.

No living man of this age ever
deliberately chose 20 adopt trous-
ers. He was forced into them and
all other eccentricities of dress by
women. In the very earliest sar-
torial experiences of every mar he is
swathed in queer bundle of inco-
herent bandages by woman. Later
she puts him into cute little dresses
so that the neighbors can't tell him
from his little sister. Still later she
cuts off his curls and puts him into
knickerbockers, and he puts on
long pants" when she gives the
word and not before. That is all
that man has to do or ever had to
do with wearing trousers. Woman
forced him into them in the first
place, and now he is afraid to wear
anything else for fear of making a
sensation.

PRACTICAL ROAD ROLLER.
Iowa Man Tells How Best to Make
Coed Dirt Roads i'm Iowa.

The substitution of wide tire for
narrow tire wagons is not taking
place very rapidly anywhere in the
great central west For some reason
or other many farmers are preju-
diced against the wide tire, believ-
ing as they do that when roads are
very soft the wide tire burrows them
much worse than narrow tire. On
the other hand, nearly every man
who has had experience in making
good earth roads strongly favors the
general introduction of the wide
tired wagon.
Mr.. w. F. Baker, Of Pottawatta-
mic county, has made his name
known throughout the entire CEN
trail west by what he has done in
the way of improving the roads of
that county. Col Baker has recent
ly prepared for the press a short
description of practical road roller
Referring to the packing and grad
ing of an earth road. he says:
1T is absolutely essential for all
public highways to have firm,
solidified dirt foundation, no matter
what the top structure may be.
ION dry land road can be
brought to crown by loosening
the dirt upon the sides of the road
with disk harrow, cultivator or
plow, as the condition requires, and
then, when in condition to pack well,
bring from the sides with a road
drag dirt and distribute over the
surface of the road not to exceed
two inches at time, and then thor
oughly roll; then again another
layer and roll in like manner till the
roadbed is brought to a nice crown,
to prevent water standing upon its
surface.
The best roller that could be used
for this purpose is extremely simple
and inexpensive, by using a good and
strong farm wagon. Replace the
hind axle with one twelve or sixteen
inches longer than the front axle,
enabling the mind wheels to track
mon in Europe; then use wheels
with six or eight inch tires with fell
loes. Load this wagon with not less
than two tons of stone or other COM
modify, and then haul it over the
road after each layer of dirt-each
trip packing two or two and two
thirds feet in width, and by careful
driving six times over you would
roll twelve or sixteen feet in width.
This would>be better than any regu-
lar roller in use, as it has greater
pressure and, finds all soft spots
which roller might straddle. This
wagon roller could be handled with
two heavy horses, while a regular
roller takes four. This wagon roller
bed could be easily made so as to
turn on it's own ground. Try this
manner of making road, as it will
cost but little, while the result will
astonish you."~
We are pleased indeed to present
this plan to our readers, in the hope
that township trustees will adopt it.
1t comes from man who is not
road builder in theory, but is one in
practice, and any advice he gives on
the subject may be depended upon
to work out in most practical way
to the lasting benefit of the highway.

FACTS WORTH KNOWING.

To remove old putty from window
frames, pass a red-hot poker slowly
over it and it will come Off easily.
To take spots from wash goods,
rub them with yolk of an egg
before washing.
To take white spots from varnish-
ed furniture. Hold hot stove lid or
plate over them and they will soon
disappear.
A good polish for removing
stains, spots, and mildew from fur
niture, is made as follows: Take
half a pint of ninety-eight per cent
alcohol, a quarter of an ounce each
of pulverized resin and gum shellac,
add half pint of linseed oil; shake
well and apply with brush or
sponge.
To remove finger marks. Sweet
oil will remove finger marks from
vanished furniture, and kerosene
from oiled furniture.
Faded goods. Plush goods and
all articles dyed with aniline colors,
which have faded from exposure to
the light, will look as bright as new
after sponging with chloroform.
To prevent cracking of bottles and
fruit jars. If bottle or fruit jar
that has been more than once used
placed on a towel thoroughly soak
ed in hot water, there is little
danger of its being cracked by the
introduction of hot liquid.
To take ink out of linen. Dip the
ink spot in pure melted tallow, then
wash out the tallow and the ink will
come out with it. This is said to
be unfailing. Milk will remove ink
from linen or colored muslins, when
acids would be ruinous. by soaking
the goods until the spot is very
faint, and then rubbing, and rinsing
in cold water.
To tougher lamp chimneys and
glassware, immerse the article In a
pot filed with cold water, to which
some common salt has been added.
Boil the water we'll, then cool slow
ly. Glass treated in this way will
resist any sudden change in tenn
perature.
A good way to clean mica in a
stove that has become blackened
with smoke, is to take 1t out, and
thoroughly wash it with vinegar. If
the black does not come off at once,
let it soak a little.

HOW TO LIVE.

Whenever you go out of doors fill
the lungs to the utmost, drink in the
gunshine. Do not fear being mis-
understood and never lose a minute
thinking about your enemies. Try
to fix firmly in your own mind what
you would like to do, and then with
out violence Of direction you will
move straight to the goal. Fear is
the rock on which we split, and
hate is The shoal on which many
barque is stranded. When we are
fearful, the judgment is as unre-
liable as the compass Of ship
whose hold is full of iron ore; when
We hate, we have unshipped the
rudder; and if we stop to mediate
on what the gossips say, we have
allowed a hawser to befoul the crew.
Keep your mind on the great and
splendid things you would like to do
and then, as the days go gliding by
you will find yourself unconsciously
Selling upon, the opportunities that
are required for the fulfillment of
Your desire, just as the coral insect
takes from the running tide the ele-
ments that it needs. Picture in
your mind the able, earnest, useful
person you desire to be, and the
thought you hold is hourly trans
forming you into that particular in
dEidual. Thought is supreme and
to think is often better than to do
To think rightly is to create. OAR
win and Spencer have told us that
this is the method of creation. Each
animal has evolved the parts it
needed and desired. The horse is
fleet because he wishes to be; the
bird flies because is desires to; the
duck has a web foot because it
wants to swim. All things come
through desire, and every sincere
prayer is answered. We become like
that on which our hearts are fixed.
Many people know this, but they do
not know it thoroughly enough so
that it shapes their lives. We want
| friends, so we scheme and chase
cross lots after strong people, and
lie in wait for good folks-or al
legged good folks-hoping to attach
yourselves to them. The only way
to secure friends is to be one. And
before you are fit for friendship you
must have sufficient self-reliance to
take care of yourself and then out
of the surplus of your energy you
can do for others. The man who
Graves friendship and yet desires a
self-centered spirit more, will never
lack for friends. If you would have
friends cultivate solitude instead Of
society. Drink in the ozone; battle
in the sunshine and out in the silent
night, under the stars, say to your
self again, and yet again, Il am a
part of all my eyes behold" And
the feeling will surely come to you
that you are no mere interloper be-
tween earth and sky; but that you
are a necessary particle of the
whole. No harm can come to you
that does not come at all, and IL
you shall go down it can only be a
wreck of worlds. Thus by laying
hold on the forces of the universe
you are strong with them. When you
realize them all else is easy, for in
your arteries course red corpuscles,
and in your heart is the will to do
and be.
