JOHN r. RuDD STRICKEN.
Dow City Resident, e2 Years Of Age,
Has Stroke Of Paralysis on
Tuesday Afternoon.

Dow City Especial to The Review
Mr.. John R. Rudd suffered a stroke
of paralysis at o'clock this morning,
leaving his entire left side paralyzed.
This is the second stroke that he has
had. Although very sick man, it is
no thought that his condition is par
ticularly serious at the present time.
Mr.. Rudd is a man eighty-two years
of age and one of the pioneer settlers
of Crawford county. He came to
Iowa in the early sos, first locating
in Shelby county and after short
time came to Crawford county, where
he has since lived. He first lived in
Section 9, Union township, the farm
being unbroken prairie land, and after
building a log cabin on it he began
cultivating the soil, and for more than
forty years engaged in general farm
ing and stock raising. Nine years ago
he left the farm and came to Dow
City, where he has since enjoyed the
ease and comfort which he so richly
deserved. 1t is said Mr. Rudd re-
ceived the first marriage license that
was issued in Crawford county. He
was married to the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. William Jordan, who were
among the pioneers of the county.

cases and at five o'clock the Novem-
ber term of court was finally ad-
journed. The next term convenes on

Elsewhere in this issue appears
the statement of the condition of the
First National bank of this city, as
required by the comptroller of the
currency, for Dec. S, 1911. With it's
total assets of $942,000 it would seem
that the customers of this bank were
being we'll cared for. A particularly
strong showing in the statement is
that of having on hand in cash and in
banks $124,00O. This growing insti-
tuition keeps pace with the expansion
of the community and is a medium
for large public service. 1t is the gov
ernment depository for postal savings

SPLENDID LECTURE
ON SOIL CULTURE
Dr.. w. e. Taylor Lectures at Opera
House Last Saturday Afternoon
Good Crowd Present.
AN ADVOCATE OF DEEP FLOWING
Conservation Of Soil Made Possible
by Deep Plowino-Appiieation
Of Scientific Methods Given

DR.. w. e. Taylor delivered his lee.
ture on soil culture at the opera
house on Saturday afternoon before
fair sized audience, made up large
ly of farmers of the county
DR.. Taylor Is an eminent authority
on every phase of this important ques-
ti0n and spends all of his time lectur-
ing throughout the country. Those
who were disposed to give the time
to listen to him were well repaid, as
his lecture was both entertaining and
instructive. He emphasized the i'm
portance of thorough preparation OF
the soil before putting in the crop.
He advocated deep plowing and dep
recated the tendency on the part of
many farmers to simply skim the
SOIL He showed how the moisture
may be conserved by deep plowing
and cultivating the surface of the soil
until it becomes mellow. 1t is being
demonstrated by those who practice
scientific methods of farming that
good crops may be raised with small
amount of moisture. He gave an illus
tration of the benefits to be derived
from the application of scientific
methods In farming and stated that
he was able to raise 125 bushels of
corn to the acre this year while his
neighbor, who farmed indifferently,
raised less than half as much.
We are pleased to know that the
farmers of Crawford county generally
adopt the better method of farming
and are repaid by larger yield and
better quality OF grain. 1t is not so
much the number of acres man may
farm as the methods which he adopts
in farming.
There is no question but what the
farmer who diligently studies the mod
ern method of farming will secure
better results than the one who fol-
lows the old method

survived by three daughters and two
granddaughters. Arrangements for
the funeral will not be made until

The death of Mrs. Mary Moffitt-F Eos
ter on Thursday last at the home Of
her neice, Mrs. r. F. Beutel, living
on Sweet street,, called our at
ton to the fact that Denison had
one OF the very oldest inhabitants in
/, the state, she being at the time of her
death something over one hundred
and two years of age. The deceased
was born in ireland and left her
native soil seventy-two years ago, be-
ing at the time thirty years of age.
She first located at Toronto, Canada,
and later at Rock Island county, ILL.,,
wheer she lived with her brother.
While living there she met Mr.. Foster,
with whom she was united in marriage
about sixty-five years ago. About for
ty years since the husband departed
this life, leaving surviving him the
widow, but no children.
After the death of her husband, the
deceased returned to Toronto, where
for several years she made her home.
For about fifteen years she made her
home with her neice, Mrs. eButel, who
until recently lived near Buck Grove,
in this county. 1t was but four months
ago that she came to Denison,
wheer she resided until her death.
This remarkable woman during her
long life was rarely if ever i'll, and at
the last death came Of old age rather
than any specific ailment. She was
q bright and cheerful woman up until
the shadows of death crept over her.
1t is said she made her own dresses
and did other sewing without the use
of glasses until about year ago. She
leaves to mourn her death a brother,
