BEES ATTACK MAN AND TEAM.
Farmer Has Terrible Experience.
With Thousands of Little Pests.
Team Runs Away.

Attacked by large swarm of bees
and his team running away, was the
experience of Charles Lands, a farm
err near Dyersville last week. Mr..
Lands was engaged in blowing corn
when a large swarm of bees, sup
posed to belong to a neighbor, came
into the field and attacked him and
his team. Becoming wild, as the
result of the singing, the horses ran
away, and between the furious on
slaught of the thousands of little in
sects and the runaway team, Mr..
Lands was in perilous position.
He was finally rescued and rushed to
the office of a physician. His face
and body were badly swollen and his
condition is critical.
More than fifty stingers were re-
moved from his face and he is suf-
fering at the present intense pain.
1t is thought he will recover.

GREEN CORN FOR CARP.
Fish i'm Game Warden'S Prison at
Clear Lake Attempting to
Escape to Find
Food.

The state of Iowa is buying corn
to feed its carp prisoners in the
game warden's pen at the head of
of the lake. The strenuous efforts of
the big fish to break from confine-
ment has finally been appeased by
liberal feeding. For more than a
month the game wardens have been
keeping vigilant night and day watch
of the carp they are SEEMING from the
lake, restraining every attempt on
the part of the fish to regain their
liberty. Finally it has developed
that the real reason for the aquatic
activities was nothing more than ac-
tual hunger on the part of the fish.
Green corn by the wagon load is be-
ing hauled to the carp pen. Fisher
men along the Des Moines river
have long used green corn for bait
when angling for carp, and the food
offered the imprisoned fish is great
ly relished by them as is the prob
able knowledge that no willy hook
threatens their lives.

HOW's This For Big Returns?

The Register and Leader recently
published an article proving that an
Atlantic, Iowa boy raised radishes to
the amount of $19.25 on patch of
ground rod square, and then says:
Apply a little arithmetic and he
gets $4,000 on an acre" Hancock
county land is the best in the world.
Last year we tried this same plan,
and have the Atlantic boy beaten a
mile, and more too. On an actually
measured plat one inch square, we
raised radish one inch in diameter
and four inches long. Radishes of
this size sell readily at a cent apiece
or five cents bunch, five radishes to
the bunch. This would give 144 rad
ishes per square foot, which would,
of course bring S1.44. There are
272 1-3 square feet in a square rod,
which would bring $1,000.
With 100 square rods in a square
acre, this brings the grand total up
to $62, on one acre, and that
is exactly what we raised per acre
on Hancock county soil, according to
the arithmetic of the Register and
Leader. Figures can't lie, the r..
and l.. editor can, but he seldom
does. We will rent this acre of
ground to the r. and l.. editor for
81 900 for the years crop, giving
him a chance to relet it on a margin
of SCI, 726.40. There are millions
to be made on a quarter section at
this rate.-Britt Tribune.

The Skin and Not the Blood.

Until recently 1t has been a gen.
orally accepted proposition that &C.
zema was a disease of the blood, and
that in order to cure 1t, the blood
must be purified and enriched. Care
full experiments and scientific inves-
legations have taught us that eczema
is purely a skin disease, and durable
through the skin alone. A great
majority of persons afflicted with &C.
zema have no other ailment, which
is accepted as positive proof that it
is purely a skin disease. Having es-
tablished this fact, the chemists of
the American Drug and Press AS
ISOLATION set about to compound a
prescription that would successfully
cope with this disease, and after
much investigating brought out
Meritol Eczema Remedy, the effect
of which Is marvellous. If you are
afflicted with this loathsome disease,
do not delay trying Meritol Eczema
Remedy. You will be surprised at
its prompt action, its soothing effect
and its permanent results. e. j.

the association to sell it in De-

More Exciting Than Calf Case.

Jones county of calf case fame is
also in the dry column. The closing
of the saloons is the most exciting
incident in Jones county since the
settlement of the great calf law suit,
which ruined several well to do fam
lilies and attracted national attention.
The local papers report a heavy sale
of intoXicants at the last moment.
One farmer stored four wagon loads
of bottled beer, and one Anamosa
citizen invested $1O5 in forbidden
beverages. 1t is evident that, while
Jones is dry in theory, there will be
some private irrigation" for some
time yet.

KILLS WOLF WITH HANDS.
Shenandoah Man Hears Noise in
Chicken House and Finds What

J. f. Redfeld, who lives near
Shenandoah, emulated Roosevelt's
Texas friend, Marshal Alternately, in
the killing of a large grey wolf with
his hands. Redfield heard a commo-
ton in his chicken house one night
last week and when he reached the
place he saw what he thought was a
large dog. He ran towards the
dog" and shouted at it.
Instead of the animal running
away it came towards Redfeld, snap
ping and snarling. Redfeld discov-
cred his error just as the wolf made
leap and lunge towards Redfeld' s
throat. He stepped aside quickly
and grasped the wolf by the hind
legs. He then, swinging the wolf at
arms length hit the animals head
over a post, finishing it with q brick
after he had taken the fight out of
it,

Timothy Six Feet Tall.

Upton reports a field of timothy
six feet tall. This, considering the
dry season, doubtless takes the blue
ribbon for grass. Just think of it!
How many men do you meet on the
street that are six feet tall? Cows
would be out of sight in such field,
and could never eat such grass. The
lower joints might be utilized for
kindling wood, and, if sold for that
use at current rates for kindling, the
crop would be profitable. And there
is no danger of breaking the market,
for the most of our farmers dom
grow the six foot" kind.

The search of his home disclosed
$1,000 in bills in a spice can in the

Farmers Auto Burned.

Up in the Estherville country one
day recently an autoist, who by the
way is a prominent farmer, was 60
ing to the creamery with his milk.
In crossing a small ditch which had
been filled with straw, his machine
stalled. When he turned on an
extra supply of power something
happened under the machine that set
fire to the straw beneath the ma
chine, and before he could get the
rig clear of the blaze it was burned
up-at least bad enough to be con-
sidered a wreck.

Plans For Future

At the meeting of the anti saloon
forces last night movement was
started which may have important in
fluence on the affairs of the valley at
large. 1t was proposed to organize
county movement. bringing all the anti
saloon people Of the valley together
with the object of making a counter at
tack on the booze forces.
The fact was recognized that Los An
geles brewers have planned to capture
Imperial valley, concentrating the float
foothOld, from which they expected to
reach out to the other towns of the
valley. hoping eventually to bring them
also under license.
In working to this end their chief
reliance was placed in that small body
Of loafers, petty gamblers and blind
piggers who have menaced the peace of
the towns of the valley for years.
The counter movement contemplates
dttdck OH tulS vicious element with
a view to driving them from the val
ley and putting stop to their Illicit
traffic, through united action of the
law respecting element in all parts Of
the valley.
Two amendments of the state consti.
tuition are favorable to this campaign
One of these is the recall, whereby any
official who neglects to enforce tae law
can be removed, and the other Is the
right of women to vote Expressions
favorable to this organization have been
received from other towns. and instead
of the brewers capturing this valley.
the indication now Is that all their SER
wants. the loafers. petty gamblers and
bootleggers. Will be driven out.
This valley has an enviable reputa-
ton, obtained in spite Of these men,
and it is proposed now to make the val
ley as a whole even more worthy of its
high repute.
