An Historic Old House.

Just over the line of Howard
county. northwest of ROcheport,
stands a solid looking brick house
of old-time architecture 1t is now
the home of L. M. Pipes and the
farm is owned by him. This house
was built in 1921, its walls are Is
inches thick and the brick nsed
were homemade There is not a
crack in the walls and the structure
stands a monument to its builders,
who have long since passed into the
great beyond. tn ante-bellum days
this house was a well known old
time inn" or tavern" at which
the travelling public was entertained
1t stands on the old Santa Fee Trail,
one of the markers OF the latter be-
ing located a few yards from the
house, and many men afterward in
western history were sheltered in
its walls and refreshed by its enter
tainment. If the ST. LouiS-Kansas
City, electric line is built as now
surveyed the cars will pass through
a corner of the yard fronting the
old Inn."-Columbia Statesman.

Intelligence ia Horses.

Il was over at the Hippodrome
not long ago to see and hear those
talking birds and their display of
intelligence made me think of the
horses that we used to haul our
street cars in the days before cleo
tricity was adopted as our motive
power" said Mr. George Mulhern
the other day.
Il wouldn't want to swear to it
but l am almost willing to affirm
that | have heard some of those
horses say: Why don't you put on
the brakeS?' when the driver was
asleep at an important stopping
point. One ring of the bell was
enough to tell them to stop at the
next crossing, and no amount of
persuasion would induce them to
start until they heard the two
clangs of the gong.
There was a sort of standing
order in force then. If a driver
brought in a horse with the mark
of a whip on its hide he knew
enough to turn in his badge and
not attempt to make any explana-
tions. Selected.

She Cleaned The Chimney.

A new way of cleaning a Chin
ney has been discovered by a Ne
braska girl who was pestered by a
smoking coal stove. She poured a
quart of gasoline into the stove
carried the can to a safe distance
and then lighted it by throwing a
a match IN it from a partly closed
door 1t cleaned the chimney by
blowing the stove through it and
landed the girl and the door in the
top of an apple tree three rods dis
tant. The girl had a nice ride on
the door and was no the door and
was not burned at all, merely two
legs broken. The chimney was

Old Story Now.

Twenty-Five years ago not mile
of electric-railroad track existed
anywhere and not 81 was invested
in this branch of railroading; now
there are $4,000 miles of such road
in this country, $4,000 electric cars,
a capitalization OF $4,000O00,000
and 10000,000,000 passengers are
carried in a year. This twenty-five
year contract was presented to the
American Electric Railway Associa-
ton at a banquet in New York the
other evening. The annual income
of the companies was said to be
$440,000,000 and they have 100000
salarled employees.
How quickly a story gets old 1t
was only about twenty years ago
that the electric car was looked at
with curiosity, as we look at aero
planes now. Will the aeroplane be
the foundation of as great an indus
try as the electric car? That is to
be doubted. At least, as an indus
try it can hardly grow as fast the
electric-railroad business has grown.
One of the most interesting
things said at this banquet was to
the effect that within the next ten
years the existing electric-railroad
traffic will probably be doubled
Evidently, the men who use the
surface of the earth are looking for
vast increases in business regard
less of what the airmen are doing.

Some Rat.

The largest rat we ever saw was
killed at H. G. Reyner & Sons elev-
ator last Friday. 1t measured % 1-2
inches in length, from end of nose
to tip of tail, and weighed 2 ID
pounds, The rat was killed DO E.
B. Reyner and John Beall. The
former hit it first with an iron polk
er and the latter dispatched it with
a club 1t had "a flat tail and a
heavy coat of hair, and claws that
would give cat or dog that might
tuSsle such a varmint a lively tus-
sic. 1t was doubtless shipped in
with grain or some other stuff ship
ped in car load lots. Neldo Thayer
first saw it some six weeks ago and
when he described it's size he was
accused of "seein' things" that were
in his imagination. -LaPlata Repub-

This is Discrimination.

The representative of a coal firm
at Centerville, Iowa, was here one
day last week and called at this
Office. In a conversation corcern-
ing the price of coal and the trans
portation charges he stated that the
railroads charge $1.10 Der ton from
Centerville to Grant City, and 70
cents per ton to st. Joseph. The
distance from Centerville to St.
Joseph over the @" is fully one
third greater than it is to Grant
City. If that doesn't spell discrimi-

like some good Speller to tell us
what it does spell. Worth County

Would They?

The election of the United States
senators by direct vote of the peo-
pie, instead of through bribed and
bossed legislatures, will be an i'm
portant issue from now on. If you
have any doubt about which side
you will be on ask Yourself these
questions:
If senators were elected by direct
vote of the people. would James
Smith, Jr., be the next senator from
New Jersey?
Would Lodge be the next senator
from Massachusetts?
Would William Lorimer be the
present senator from Illinois?
Would William F. Sheehan be the
next senator from New York.
Would Oliver come back to the
senate from Pennsylvania in Jan
uary'
When the senate is elected by the
people directly such scandals as the
Lorimer one will cease. Golfers

All Rot About Jap Scare.

This nation was never on better
terms with all the world than it is
today. All the talk about Japan
wanting a fight with US is all rot.
Some of our wise statesmen tell us
that the japanese could land an
army on our Western coast and for
tify our mountain passes before we
could get ready for war. 1t comes
to our mind that there never was a
time when any nation could land
any part of an army in this U. S.
and stay landed" any length of
time. They had all this war talk
every since the nation was a baby.
The HobsonS of so years ago told
US how we were liable at any time
to get war with other powers and
how we ought to appropriate large
sums of money for army and navy
purposes. We believe it was Abra-
ham Lincoln who said in a speech
one time: There is no power on
earth today who could, if they had
untold millions of capital and a Bon
uparte for commander, take a drink
of water from the Ohio river or
make footprint on the Allegheny
mountain, if we objected. st. Jo-

What is Tankaee.

Tankage is a mixture of meat
trimmings and scrap bones, which
have been steam cooked and then
dried and ground. Most of it comes
from the big packing houses at Chi
cago. In the making of farm ami
mails into meat cuts there are many
odds and ends left over. These are
all gathered up and put in a large
steel tank and cooked under a live
steam pressure of 90 pounds to the
square inch. After the steam has
been turned off a scum of grease
and tallow comes to the top of the
tank This is drawn off, and the
stuff which remains in the bottom
of the tank is made into tankage
by evaporating the water and
grinding the residue.
AS you would expect, tankage is
very rich in protein. In every hun
dred pounds of it there are fifty
pounds of protein that animals can
digest. Besides this, there are 116
pounds of fat. Tankage is most
used to supply protein for hogs. 1t
is especially good for fattening hogs
when one pound of it is fed in con-
nection with nine or ten pounds of
corn.
At $50 ton, tankage furnishes a
pound of protein for 5 cents, which
is cheaper than any other will furn-
iSh it at present prices, unless it be
cottonseed meal. You might say
then, why not feed tankage to give
protein to all kinds of farm animals?
The trouble is that tankage is very
concentrated. Also it is not always
of the best quality; so that it is not
desirable to feed it to farm animals
of which we wish to be particularly
careful. When you see tankage for
the first time, the thing that will
strike you most about it is its smell
dry tankage has stronge odor, and
wet tankage is best described by the
slang expression Fierce"
laces' Farmer.

The present legislature shows
some disposition to deal with the
road question with some degree of
intelligence and justice A large
majority of the members are begin
ming to realize that a poll tax for
road purposes is not g reasonable or
just tax. A system which places a
burden on a particular class and
eXemptS others has no place in our
institutions or at least should not
have any. There was a time when
poll tax levied on an old able bodied
citizen was a necessity, but now
when every foot of land in the
county is taken up and the roads
are for the benefit of the property
holders and should be kept up by
taxes levied on the property which
the road benefits. A poll tax is a
relic of pioneer days and should be
abolished.

NOTES OF THE GAME
From the foot to the top of the lis

From the foot to the top of the list
in two days is not so rotten.
Humes' hitting, Harry Kelly's field
ing and Bromwich's homer were east
ly the features of an exciting game.
There were three real features-the
hitting of Humes, the home run of
Bromwich, and the brilliant catch by
Jack Clynes.
Harry Kelly gave another exhibition
of big league stuff yesterday. Besides
getting a dandy double when it was
needed, he played a great fielding
game, engineering two double plays
and doing some other nice work in ad-
dition.
1t was just like rubbing it in for
Manager Carney to put Humes in
against Davenport and have him hand
out defeat TO the team which traded
him to Rock Island for Catcher Erwin.
"Zeke' incidentally struck out twice,
although he figured in the run getting
in the sixth round.
In the third inning Ffnney tried to
steal second and on a close decision
he was called safe. Vogel raised a
