port, Celebrate Happy Event.

Last Thursday, Feb. Sd, Mr.. G. A.
Funke, the popular steward at the
poor farm, and his estimable wife,
of Freeport. celebrated their pearl
wedding, having been married thir-
ty years on that day.
About sixty friends and relatives
were invited to help them celebrate
the memorable event, and, of course,
a most enjoyable time was had by
all in congratulating Mr.. and Mrs.
Funke, and enjoying the bountiful
wedding dinner that was served.
They were presented with many re-
membranes of the occasion.
Public Opinion congratulates Mr..
and Mrs. Funke and hopes that they
will live to enjoy many more happy
returns of the day.

Religion.

Here is a pretty story from life
told by the Morrell (Kan.) News:
"He was the worst boy in school;
she was the teacher. She was anger
ed by his stubborness; he was de-
fiant. She took him to the hall for
punishment. Angrily she admins
tered the penalty and-then some
how great wave of pity for the
boy swept over her. She looked at
the worn coat of the little fellow;
she thought OF the frail body de-
prived of nourishing food; she
thought of the hard and loveless
home and of the starved soul of the
poor kid. Tears sprang to the
teachers eyes as the boy waited for
further punishment. Then he saw
the tears. His own eyes grew moist
and overlooked. Thinking how the
poor boy had no chance, in an i'm
pulse of love she put her arms
around the boy and they cried to-
gether. That is religion. She and
the boy both found it,

VICTORY FOR LUTHER.
MOrningside College of Sioux City
Goes Down to Defeat Before
Local College Team.

Last Saturday evening Luther's
big five defeated Morningside Col
lege by a scroe of 70 to IA, the
largest score ever made on the local
floor Qually, Storaasli and Jerde
scored %, % and 16 points, re-
spectively. The feature of the game
was Berkstresser's spectacular bas-
ket from a point far past the center
of the floor. The visiting team were
very gentlemanly, and their referee
one of the most fair that ever re-
fereed a game at Luther. 1t was a
very clean game, only s points being
called. Morningside's team were
not poor basket throwers. Their
poor team work, inability to dribble
the ball, and Luther's close guarding
accounts for their low score. The
first half ended with Luther 25
points in the lead. The Turning
Club entertained very effectively be-
tween halves. During the second
half Luther began an exhibition of
signal and team work such as the
visitors had apparently never seen
before. About twenty points were
scored one after another, without
single hitch in the signals. The
visitors played defensive game
throughout the entire contest. The
as Morningside has three times as
much material from which to
choose their athletes as Luther has.

ECONOMY LUMBER co. SOLD.
IngvOIdstad & Co. Take Over The
Economy Coal & Lumber Co.'s
Business.

The Economy Coal & Lumber
Company has passed into the hands
of Ingvoldstad e Co., they having
purchased the business February
1st. The consolidation of these two
yards will give Involdstad & Co.
one of the finest yards in the state.
They will close up the Washington
street entrance to their old yard,
move the office to the Economy Co. S
and build a big double driveway
into their present yard. This will
not be done for several months,
though. The roof over the Economy
yard, which recently fell in, will be
rebuilt. In addition to the extern
sive line of lumber always carried
by this firm they will add coal, lime,
cement and plaster.
The yard is excellently located
along the tracks of the C. M. & st.
p. Ry for receiving and shipping
facilities, as they do a large whole
sale business also. Prepared roof
ing materials has been one of their
specialties and they have enjoyed a
large wholesale and retail trade in
it. Mr.. Will Ingvoldstad of the firm
is we'll and favorably known to
lumber buyers in this section, and
has built up big business by his
square dealing principles and honest
business methods. With this big
double yard, and the handling of
most everything for building pur-
poses, and the expedient manner in
which things can be handled, we
bespeak for the firm much bigger
future business.
We understand that Mr.. Ray Har-
mon, the courteous young manager
of the Economy yard, will remain
with Ingvoldstad C Co., which is
good news to his many friends.

Walking From New York to Iowa.

Walking From New York to Iowa.
Wandering aimlessly in the rail-
road yards at Cincinnati, Ohio, in
rags and almost barefoot, woman
was discovered by the police who
claimed to have walked from New
York and to be on her way to her
girlhood home at Clear Lake, Iowa.
The woman, almost demented from
exposure and lack of food, gave her
name as Sadie Orcutt, aged 81. She
said she had once been an actress
and told a pitiful story of how she
had broken down through ill health
and after vain attempts to find work
had embarked on the desperate en-
terprise of walking to her distant
home.

TEST SEED CORN FREE.
State Agricultural College Will Test
Seed Corn for Iowa Farmers
Free of Charge,

The loss to Iowa farmers from
planting poor seed corn, will be
greater the coming season than in
many years, unless active measures
are taken to prevent it. The poor
to the heavy rains in the fall which
filled the ears with water, and then
the early hard freeze which follow
ed. Tests made at the State Corn
Show held at Des Moines, and at the
College Corn Show held at Ames a
few weeks ago, show a startling con-
dition. Samples which were the
very best in appearance, and which
often came from our best seed corn
men, were entirely dead; and very
many were weak and unreliable for
seed purposes.
In order to help Iowa farmers to
secure good seed corn, the Agricul-
tural College is offering to test free
of charge, all samples of corn sent
them, thereby making it possible for
every farmer to know definitely
whether or not his corn is safe to
plant. Care should be taken in the
selection of this sample for test, in
order that it may represent accu-
rately the true condition of the seed
supply.
Make up the sample as follows:
Select average ears at random from
the entire lot of seed, or at least
insofar as this is practicable From
each of the ears so selected, remove
with knife two kernels, one from
each side of the ear. Place all of
these kernels in strong envelope
or small sack, and mail to the Farm
Crops Department, Ames, Iowa, for
a termination test Send with this
corn statement of the amount of
seed you have, when it was gathered
and how it was stored.
1t is quite probable much of the
corn from the 1908 crop will be
better for seed than that grown in
1909. Those who have any old corn
should send samples of this also,
picking out the sample as already
indicated, and accompanying it with
statement of the amount, condi-
ton, etc.
AS there will be large amount
of this work to be done, the samples
should be sent as soon as possible
to the Farm Crops Department,
Ames, Iowa. The Department will
mail a report of each test at the
earliest date possible.

Iowa is credited with 10000
miles of roads. If thirty feet of
them were taken off and restored
to adjacent property owners as pro-
posed by William Larrabee. Jr., in
the legislature several years ago, it
would amount to z6S.000 acres or
about $26,OOO,OOO gain to the land
owners.--Mitchell Co. Press.
