Looker-On In Iona

Hampton, Oct. e.-The approaching
trial here. Of Mrs. Rush. of Sheffield,
for shooting her husband a few weeks
ago. will bring out all Of situations
novel. The church. the world. the flesh
and the devil have had their innings.
The dead man was "a good fellow"
we'll liked by his business associates.
His wife has been model wife. con-
sistent church member and of dis
position that would not kill a fly. 1t is
probably a fact she never shot re-
voler or even handled one till she
killed her huband The other woman
in the case is a telephone operator,
that never as had anything but the
best Of reputation. 1t seems the defense
will be, the woman was in danger Of
her life, and shot her husband to save
her own life. Citizens of Sheffield tell
that husband, wife and the telephone
girl We're great friends, till the candy
deal and private talks" over the phone
became noticeable. The public OF Shelf
Geld would not stand for the girl to
continue her office work, and num-
erously signed petition Tor her re-
mcval was presented the company.
With all these facts in the minds of the
5ood people Of Sheffield, it is strange to
..Ed SO diverse opinions If all Sheffield
were in the jury box when this case is
called, it is certain as the sun rises,
they would Disagree"
II Sheffield the firm Of On1rod and
Coch-ane have installed a cooling
plant in their butcher shop which Is
along the line of what is being cone
in our big cities. The process is iden-
teal with that o. making artificial ice,
only they don, le; it get cold enough to
freeze tie meat The plant cost l,2cp
And when this finn gets into new
.uoID, glass covered counters VIII be
added and meat cut and ready for Gus
toners will be IN sight Tn" operating
cost is 90 to 40 cents day, but II Is
not necessary to run the machinery
every day. on a Saturday the machine
vas run. and on the following Tues
day thu thermometer in the ice box
recorded 40 degrees. In these days OF
pure food talk let Us hope this system
will become more general.
In one iowa town they" are having
q big time Aith the night watch Some
one sent black hand notice to his
neighbor Said neighbor onto the
game took II TO the night watch. At
the right time the internal machine"
was placed on the front porch, and the
night watch detected it. When very
carefully opened the dynamite was
found to be peanut shells and saw
dust But The Joke has an after-clap,
Some good people are not sure it's all
4 joke Some think black hand or
canizatior exists in the town. Some
think this hoax box Is a warning. The
real thing will soon be In evidence.
Practical jokes are like newspaper
Jokes. They should be labeled with
Ar,emas Wards handwriting, This is
COAX"
It was no joke on the restaurant
men OF Mason City. when the Iowa
pure food inspector called on several
Of them and bought a glass OF milk for
) cents. SO much and costs was the
result OF this sale. Why. what was
there out Of the way in selling milk
at 5 cents a glass? Only this. These
restaurant men filed big cans with
lice pure rich milk, placed it in All ice
box. and drew Il off thru a faucet.
Ard it was a pleasure to these dealers
ZACH daE before the can got TOO lo"
n contents to remove The can and find
: nice lot Of solid cream on top of the
:,?ilk left in the can. And the big
state OF Iowa actually objects TO sell
ing milk that way. The inspector had
IN,
say II man bought a glass of milk
ne was entitled to all the butterfat the
milk originally contained and it must
ontain so much of percentage when
sold for fresh milk. The next thing
we viii hear Of will be a dealer selling
apple eide, to rea!l, have it made
from apples. H'e are getting fnicky.
