USES AUTO TO CARRY CATTLE
loWAN SURPRISES SToCkMEN
WITH HIS INNOVATION.
His Experiment of Transportation
Proves Successful and is
Time Saver

Council Bluffs, Ia, Nov. 27.-Spe-
cial: Stockmen and habitues of the
stock yards at South Omaha, Nebr.,
were amazed by the appearance on
the market of A. c. Ford, a south
western Iowa feeder, who rolled into
the market in the drivers seat of a
big commercial truck with six cattle
on the machine. They were turned
over to a local commission man, yard,
ed and sold before noon.
The incident has aroused much
speculation as to the development of
an auto truck as a means of quick
transportation of cattle, hogs and
sheep to the market. The trip of
Mr.. Ford required only a few hours
no billing was necessary and it was
obvious that the stock arrived in the
pink of condition.
Many traders who witnessed the ar.
rival of these cattle wondered not a
little over the threatened invasion of
gasoline power into live stock carry.

Blanket Your Horse,

Ono OF the things that ought to
come into fashion now is the horse
blanket. II not for humane reasons,
then people ought to blanket their
horses and to give them the best pos
sible shelter and protection against
the cold because it pays. Horses are
worth much money at the present
time and the horse is just as apt to
develop pneumonia or other forms oil
lung trouble as is the human being
And the horse that is not kept com
Portable will not last as long and will
not be good for as much work and
will therefore be bigger expense to
the owner than the animal which is
given proper care. The agent of the
humane society is keeping an eye

Care of Trees and Shrubs.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOLS
Time Approaches for Annual Con-
ference of Superintendent.

1t is getting near the time for the
annual gathering in Oskaloosa OF the
Sunday School superintendent of the
county when they meet to consider
the work and problems of the Sun,
day School superintendent. The of.
ficers arc beginning to plan for it, and
hoping to have the largest and most
enthusiastic gathering yet held. Inc
date-sometimo in January-will be
set in a few days, and the real work
of arranging topics and securing
speakers begun.
10000 in 1912.
The movement i'll this county fol
ten thousand Sunday school scholars
in 1912 has met with an enthusiastic
welcome and is rapidly taking form
One great school decided that ten
per cent. of that number was about
its share and voted to- assume that
share of the work. Another great
school voted unanimously to take VI
the work and every member pledged
himself or herself to work towards
that end. One splendid country schoo
is SO enthused over the work that
two neighborhoods, one on each side
OF it, have decided to open new
schools before long so as to be in
on the movement, and it begins tc
look as if the whole county would
soon be enlisted and on the march
to that objective goal. 1t will be in
teresting indeed to see what schools
get those banners.
10000 in 1912! That's a good wal
cry. Shout it along.
