A TOWN FLEES FROM RIVER
Nebraska Municipality Gives Up the
Fight With TreacherOus Mis-
souri,. Goes Up on a Hill.

NEBRASKA CITY, NeD.-After a
35-years' fight with the Missouri
river the little town of Barney, sew
en- miles below here, has officially
acknowledged defeat by action of the
city council, and is retreating to the
hills.
On an eminence two miles from
the old battlefield the town has made
a stand, where it can mock it's old
enemy. Such buildings as can read
lily be moved are being taken to the
new location. The others are fall
ing into the river as fast as the
treacherOUG waters can undermine
their foundations.
1t is a case of the great river CIV
ing and taking away. A long time
ago Barney was a river town. Then
the river. in one of it's whimsical
moods, turned it's currents against
the Iowa shore and carved out a new
channel, leaving Barney an inland
town, with the consolation prize,
however, of two miles of rich farm
ing lands where the river had been.
Collects Land Loan With Interest.
Thirty years ago the river came
back over night and demanded it's
/ own. The land the stream had va
Gated had become very valuable.
The residents made a good fight with
every form of fertilization known
against encroachments of streams.
But it was in vain. The river ham
mered at the defenses and event
ually carried them away The two
miles of farm lands were swallowed
up and Barney was again a river
! town.
But the river was not satisfied
1t wanted interest for the loan. It
began to take the town. Through
the years the fight has gone on.
Sometimes it seemed the town had
won, but the river returned to the
| attack and relentlessly it took it's
toll.
After this summers floods it be-
came plain that the town could hold
out no longer. The city council. in
solemn conclave, confessed defeat
and counseled retreat. The old
townsite was evacuated and the seat
! OF town government re-established
on the hill. The river, no longer op-
! posed, will make short work of car
| rying the abandoned buildings away.

CATSUP IN COMMUNION CUP
Then the COnfectioner Made Another
Mistake and Sent Milk Punch to
WOmen's Mission Meeting.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark.-The mem
bers of the First Methodist church
of this city are telling their friends
of two humorous accidents that have
befallen the flock. First, it was cat
sup in the communion cups, and then
it was milk punch in the bowl of the
Home Mission Society instead of the
punch ordered. The first was a ne
gro's mistake, the second was the
confectioner's.
A friend in st. Louis, member Of
catsup firm, sent a jug of espe-
cially fine catsup to the Rev. T. E.
Sharpe, pastor of the First Metho-
dist church, who was formerly pastor
of ST. Louis church. The jug was
placed in the cellar of the parson-
age, with several other jugs, to be
brought out this winter.
The drowsy negro sexton of the
church was sent to the cellar for the
jug of communion wine for service.
He brought out jug, carried it to
the church, filled the communion
cups from it and then proceeded to
take a nap.
When Punch Is Not Punch.
Then came the service and the
communion. The congregation dis
covered that instead of communion
wine in the cups there was catsup,
and only the most devout efforts re-
pressed a natural inclination to
laugh Many just couldn't help but
smile anyway. Even the minister
had twitching of the face.
The church members had hardly
gotten over the catsup when the
Home Mission Society met. Light
refreshments are usually served at
the society meetings, and the officers
had ordered punch to be served in
the hallway of the church.
When the women arrived for the
meeting they gathered around the
punch. Some partook of it sparing-
ly, others seemed to like it. Then
the officers who had ordered the
punch tasted it. 1t was punch
milk punch-but not the kind of
punch they had ordered. The con-
fectioner had been drowsy, too.
The women declare they fail to see
anything for amusement in it, even
though the men of the congregation
are still unable to repress their
laughter

Ger of the stomach undermined his
rugged constitution and a stroke of
paralysis was the immediate cause
of his death.
Swink was born in Kentucky, and
spent his early life on farm in Illi-
nois. He went to school 80 days.
He went to Colorado in 1871 and
opened the first store in Otero coun-
ty, at Rocky Ford.
Three years later a large eastern
house sent shipment of cantaloupe
seed to Arkansas Valley, and some of
it fell into the hands of Swink. He
planted them on his homestead and
tended the growing plants with great
care. The melons were better than
his neighbors grew, but not as good
as he wanted them to be. He raised
another and a better crop, and still

melons began to have a reputation
that was more than local. 1t was
in 1878 that he began to market
them. 1t was not long until he found
that it was more profitable to devote
his time to his melon patches than
to his mercantile business.
First ''Melon Day."
One day Farmer Swink invited his
neiehbors and friends to a family
picnic. The door of a freight car
was used as table, and the melons,
right from the fields, were cut and
eaten, and that was the first melon
day. That was the beginning of the
annual melon festival, with it's TO-
600 watermelons and it's 10000 can
taloupes, as it has come to be.
He started the suger beet indus
try with capital that he secured
from the Santa Fee railroad, and made
fortune out of it, and then sank
most of it in an irrigation ditch.
Was State Senator.
He was a state senator through
two sessions, and was once, through
the urgings of his friends in the val
ley, a candidate for governor. Ho
was once called the perpetual mayor
of Rocky Ford. He was the town IS
first mayor, and was reelected year
after year until he wearied of the
position and declined another cleo
ton.
Swink was "A years old. In 1856
he married Mary J. Cook, and eleven
children were born to them. The
surviving children were at his bed
side when he died, and a thousand
of their fathers friends and neigh
bors stood with them as the grave
was filled in Valley View cemetery
and attested by their presence and
their grief the great regard in which
they had held the first citizen of
Rocky Ford.

Census Shows a Falling Off of
Five Per Cent in Last Ten
Years
VALUE OF LAND MORE Than |
DOUBLED IN THE SAME TINA
The Value of Farm Implements and
Machinery Increased 81 Per Cent
Small Increase in the Listed Acre.
age Caused by Former Listing.

Washington, Nov. 1.-Within the last
decade Iowa has shown material de-
creases in the total number of it's
farms. farmers and extent of farm
acreage, but these losses are over
shadowed by the enormous increases
in the value of farm lands, imple-
ments and buildings and the eXpendi-
lure for farm labor. These facts are
set forth in statement issued by the
census bureau regarding Iowa's agri-
cultural statistics. derived from the
recent census OF agricultural as a
part of the thirteenth decennial CEN
sus. From 1900 to 1910 the total value
OF Iowa farm land alone rose 1927
per cent and the value of farm imple-
nrents and machinery rose 64.4 per
cent. The total number OF farms
dropped during the decade from 228.-
622 to 216,S07, decrease of a little
more than five per cent. The farm
acreage reported in 1900 is 33,905. 900
as compared with 34,574.000 in 1910,
a decrease of 1.9 per cent.
This decrease, in the opinion Of the
census bureau, probably represents
the less perfect enumeration of the
land in several townships owned by
people residing in other townships due
to a change in the census date from
June to April 1. Much Of this land
is in "rstures and meadows.
