IOWA FARMERS CAN
SAVE $500, 900, 900

AmeS, Jan. 4.-The Iowa farmer
may not know that it is up to him and
his fellow agriculturists in other
states to check the enormous outflow
of $5O0,000,000 year which Ameri.
can tourists spend abroad while sight.
seeing, but it is, according to Dean
Chas. F.. Cartiss Of Iowa's agricultural
college.
THE problem of inducing Americans
to see America first said Dean Cur
tiss to an audience of more than 800
progressive Iowa farmers at the COL
lege short course, lis largely rural
life problem"
'The average tourist does not go
abroad again and again to see the
European cities nor the mountains,
rivers and lakes; European cities have
no advantages over our own, and our
own natural scenery is as fine as any
in the world. He is attracted to Eu.
rope because or the beauties of it's
rural districts.
Those who are organizing to stop
the flow of American money abroad
say that our people spend 100000
every year in foreign travel. They
won't save this enormous sum for
First, the rural districts and their
homes beautified, and second, the
rural highways improved" -,
The occasion of these statements
was the rural Improvement mass meet.
ing of short course students. Follow
ing Dean Curtiss, Prof. A. T. Erwin
discussed rural landscape gardening
illustrating his talk with many inter.
esting views, some of them of the "be-
fore and after" type. Following this,
Prof. L. H. Pammel, whom Dean Cur.
tiss introduced as the man who knows
more about weeds than any other
Iowan, gave a practical talk on farm
weeds. Professor Erwin held up for
condemnation the farmer who allows
his house and barn yards to become
cluttered up with rubbish and weeds,
and especially the man who allows
some plug tobacco advertisement to be
painted all over the conspicuous side
of his barn. "If you're going to use
your buildings for advertising, adver.
tise your own stuff" he said. Paint
the name of your farm on your build
ings and tell what you have to sell.
Don't help some distant corporation to
advertise it's nostrums." He also
pointed out the error of stingy school
grounds without play facilities for
rural school children.
Professor Pammel said that the
weeds in Iowa cost the farmers of the
state not less than $15,O00.O0O year,
and probably q good deal more.
There isn't single weed that grows"
he said that cannot be eradicated BY
persistent and careful cultivation, and
most of them yield readily" Profess
sor Pammell also said that Wisconsin
prides itself on keeping it's rural dis
tricts freer from weeds than Iowa.
e are making some progress in ell
minating weeds" he added. 1.-THE
Iowa pure seed law is helping and the
man who buys seeds of Iowa seeds
men is quite sure to get reasonably
good seed. If he y in doubt, let him
send a seed sample to the college and
we will test it for him without charge"

.BL0MNELL SAYS
He WAS DRUCCED
YOUNG MAN THOUGHT TO HAVE
BEEN DEMENTEp REGAINs I
RIGHT MIND At HOME

According to letter received by
Chief of Police J. E. Beeman today,
Gireon Blomnell, who was taken into
custody here some time ago, mentally
unbalanced, was the victim of drug,
taken by him for whisky before he
( left Minneapolis on trip to OttumWa.
Blomnell was picked up here one
morning, having wandered about the
streets all night. He imagined men
were trying to kill him and policemen
were after him. .>f
= The letter received by Chief Bee
man was written by G. F. Anderson,
who came to Ottumwa from Mime
sofa to take Blomnell home. They
reached Cokato December "a and
Blomnell remained demented until
Christmas evening. His first question
upon regaining his right senses was
whether or not Anderson had noticed
the great number of people that were
being shot in Minneapolis as the train
pulled in there. Mr.. Anderson states
that when he answered in the negative
Blomnell declared he guessed he had
Eeen dreaming or "had been crazy.
The two men then started to solve
the mystery with the result that II
was traced to a small vial of whisky
which Mr.. Blomnell drank on the trip.
The whisky was given to Mr.. Ander-
son by bartender friend and the lat
ter supposed it to be fine grade be-
cause of the size of the vial and the
words of the bartender. Since Mr..
Blomnell was going on a longer jour-
ney than Mr. Anderson, the latter gave
MIN the whiskey. While eating lunch
about midnight on his journey to- Of
tumwa, Blomnell drank the contents
of the vial, but noticed no other taste
than that of whisky. Not long after,
Mr.. Anderson writes, Mr.. Blomnell be-
gan to imagine that there were Off
GERS around him who wanted to arrest
him on the <charge of robbery Mr..
Blomnell went direct to local hotel
on arrival When he reached his room
he was seized with the hallucination
that someone wanted to kill him and
he threw his clothing out over the
transom He lost his pocketbook in
this action. The following day he went
to visit friends in the east end. After
remaining there over night, he sud-
denly disappeared and no trace could
be found of him. After wandering
about for day and night, he was
found by the police.
Mr.. Anderson states that he does
not know whether or not the Mime
apolis bartender meant the dose for
him or not or is he certain the bar
tender was aware of the whisky be-
ing drugged. He declares that Mr..
Blomnell has now fully recovered and
is back at his work. 49,

STOPS RUNAWAY; MAY DE
Policeman Saves Other Lives by
Risking His Own.

Patrolman John Barrett. of the Grand
avenue station, Brooklyn, was badly hurt
yesterday evening while attempting to stop
a runaway horse at Bergen street and Van.
derbilt avenue. At the Swedish Hospital
last night It was said that his condition
was critical.
Barrett caught the bride and was dragged
some distance. Finally the horse stumbled
and fell upon the policeman, causing a
fracture OF his skull and internal injuries
The bravery Of the policeman probably
saved others from injury. as the streets
were crowded at the time by factory opera
lives VINO had just quit work.
The horse. which was owned by lnmab
e. Kruger, grocers at No. 6I VANDERBILT
avenue, was attached to delivery wagon.
The animal started 20 run from In front
OF No q Underhill avenue, and kept ~
his pace until Barrett pulled him in AZ Van
derbilt avenue and Bergen street. As the
horse came dashing down the street Bar
rett. who is an ex-cavalryman and has seen
service in the West, ran to meet him Tn"
horse swerved TO one side as Barrett
sprang at the bride, but the policeman
managed TO retain his grip, though he lost
his footing. But a trick that he had
learned in the army brought the horse 10
its knees though It was disastrous TO tbs
policeman.
The horse was headed directly for
crowded open trolley car when Barrett
stopped him
