relief to the needy is one that will ap.
peal readily to those better fixed in
life. and there is no doubt but that
those who are thus benefited by the
liberality Of others will appreciate
the acts.
In many other cities ice funds have
been started and the help given to the
needy has prevented countless deaths.
The ice man is morning caller He
will prove welcome visitor at numer-
Gus homes and the liberal people OF
the city by their donations, no matter
how large or small they might be, will
be taken part in good work by sub
scribing to this cause.
Contributions will be received at
this Office at all hours of the day. The
money Of all residents of this city and
this section OF the state will be turned
over to the committee to purchase ice
for the needy people of the city, and
an effort will be made by the three
Ottumw'a women making up the COM
mittee to see to 1t that ice is placed in
all the homes where it is most needed.

Der Of needy cases in this city.

weaned on the installment plan Is the
runt with q tank like power churn
and grip like an entered apprentice.
There Is no more pathetic sight than
a runt pig leaning up against q peck OF
old corn with gums accustomed to a
pacifier. If more farmers would use
a little judgment In this delicate mat
ter, there would be less wind collie in
the hog house.
Anxious inquirer wants to know:
What would you do : you owned a
cribbing horse?" We should empty
the palpitating contents Of an apart
ment house pistol into his tailfeathers
without excusing haste or bad pen.
The cribbing gelding is bigger NUS
ance than the heifer which expector-
ates with so much haste and profusion
that the COW yard looks like the in
terror OF cotton gin. The horse
which persists in making full meal
off of red cedar posts should be laid
on his stomach and equipped with a
set OF red-lined artificial teeth. These
can be removed between meals and
secured with chloride of lime, and this
is the only treatment that will do any
good After a gelding has gone up
against hard pine stanchion ia his
bare gums, his appetite will fall away

ATWOOD LANDS
NEAR CAPITAL
AVIATOR AND PASSENGER CON-
PLETE TRIP FROM NEW YORK
TO WASHINGTON.

Baltimore, Md, July l1.-Cheered by
Labout fifty rural admirers, Charles f.
Hamilton and Harry N. Atwood, the
daring Boston aviators, gracefully as
cended from small knoll on the west
end Of Walter r. Townsend's estate at
Steamers Run, Md, at 4:35 o'clock
this morning and made magnificent
start for College park on their last lap
of record breaking overland flight
from Boston to the national capital.
The weather conditions could not have
been better. The sun had just pceped
above the eastern horizon and the
light southwest winds fairly carried
them from the ground at the first turn
of the motor. Ascending to an eleva.
ton of about 300 feet the aviators
skinned gracefully over the little
crop of spectators and, with farewell
wave, headed to the southwest and
in few seconds disappeared from
view over the wooded hills.
Both the men and machine were in
excellent working condition and there
was not the slightest hitch.
The Pennsylvania railroad tracks
we're followed to Bay View junction,
then changing the course little more
to the westward the aviators flew over
the southern and eastern outskirts OF
the city, passing over historic Fort
McHenry at 1855 a. NJ, covering the
distance Of nearly twelve miles in
helf an hour. Leaving Fort McHenry
Atwood, who was steering. headed the
machine toward the Patapsco, and fol
lowed the river, passing over Hale
thrope aviation field at 5:07 a. m.
Again taking the Pennsylvania rail
road tracks at this point the pace was
quickened and the distance of about
twenty-five miles between the two
aviation fields was covered in thirty
eight minutes.
Land at Washington.
Washington, D. c., July 11.-Tired
and hungry, but otherwise showing no
i'll effects of their trip from Stem. |
mers Run, Harry N. Atwood and Chas.
K. Hamilton alighted from their aero
plane, on the field Of the army avia-
ton school at College Park, Md, near
this city at 7:45 o'clock this morning.
They had covered about forty miles
at an average altitude of 600 feet.
The flight was devoid of mishaps
and except for being thoroughly
fatigued. the aviators would have con.
tinued on to this city in the machine.
Atwood announced that he probably
would fly into Washington later in the
day.

CARNIVAL OPENS
. WITH FUN FOR ALL
GREAT CROWD OF MERRY.MAk-
Frs ATTEND THE PARKER
SHOWS ON SOUTH SIDE.

The big midsummer carnival that is
being presented by the Maccabees,
with the Parker shows as the attrac-
tons, opened last evening and the
streets along which the shows are
placed were crowded with pleasure
seekers who thoroughly enjoyed the
many good things offered South Of
tumwa, where the festival of fun is
taking place, has on it's gala attire and
with the many bands playing, the
shouts of the merry-makers, the spiel
of the spieler. the creaking Of the
mammoth ferris wheel and other riding
devices, the singing and dancing on
the platforms, etc, one quickly be-
comes aware of the fact that a street
fair is going on. And such carnival.
{ ttumwa has had many companies of
like character, even the Parker
shows have been here before, but no.
thing that can compare with the pres
ent Parker shows have ever been Of
fered here. It is remarkable to state
that among the many shows and at
fractions there is not bad one in the
entire lot, not one that is not worth
more than the price of admission
would be dollar attractions if presented
in any opera house. The list of shows
is so varied that no matter what your
taste is for entertainment. you are
sure to find something to your liking.
The strongest feature Of the entire
carnival is the square way in which
the Parker people deal with their pa
irons. After listening to one of the
takers in front of the shows and you
enter you are sure to find things just
as represented. The ole time holdup
methods are not practiced. After you
purchase a ticket for one of the at
fractions it takes you all the way
through. The good order that is main
tanned on the midway is another strong
feature, the usual nuisances are not
tolerated and ladies and children can
attend without male escort and know

The purpose of the registration
measure is that all farms may have an
exclusive name should the owners so
desire. The price is small, simply the

the opportunity to secure names for
their farms which they desire before
some neighbor beats them to 1t.

Glove Factory Too Small.

Oskaloosa, July 1.-THE new Oska.
loosa glove factory is evidently the
right thing in the right place. Fifteen
employees are at work in the shop and
the number is not sufficient to keep
up with orders and work is con-
tracted far ahead. The present quart
ers in the Kalbach building on High
avenue West will soon be too small
II the present ratio in the increase of
the business is maintained.
