Member Of Board Tells What Should
Be Done With Money If the Trus-

Given 1t.

The will of Dr.. Sara Conklin
Gramm, which was opened after her
death few weeks ago, is one OF the
most interesting documents that the
local officials have ever had to do with.
In it, she specifies that after all claims
are settled and death and funeral ex-
penses are paid, the balance OF the
funds shall be invested in a safe man
ner and the income derived therefrom
shall be used by the board of trustees
of the Keokuk public library for the
purchase of scientific and sociolog-
| ical books
| The bequest, which will amount to
probably $4,000, is the largest single
endowment that has ever been given
the library and will prove of vast
benefit to that institution. Members
i Of the board were greatly surprised
when the bequest was made known

have the will broken and it is likely
that, if such is the case, 1t will be
some time before the board will be
able to use the money, if at all. Many
complications have arisen that will
, make hard legal fight out of the case
IL it comes to court.
In case the city decides to contest
for the bequest, it is likely that Theo
dore Craig, city attorney, will be call

An objection offered to disking
stubble land at a time OF harvest is
that the stubble Is broken down to
such an extent that the snow.holding
power Of the stubble is destroyed. It
is even held that It is wise to allow
weeds to grow In the stubble to aid
in catching the drifting snow.
It may be that such practices are to
be Recommended in preference to
disking the stubble land at the time
Of harvest. but certainly the latter
practice has not been experimental

stubble land left undisked. A month
later 1t was determined that the disk

This represents a great deal Of
water. and probably Is as much as

MEET DEMAND FOR ODD SHOES
Manufacturers and Dealers Prepared

ficuIty In the Matter.

When a one legged man buys a shoe
the dealer sends to the factory for a
shoe to match the one left remaining.
In these days OF the use OF machinery
In every process OF their manufacture
shoes are made with the utmost ex.
actness and precision and 1t is easily
possible to mate that remaining shoe
with the greatest nicely in size. style.
material and finish
Few people have feet exactly alike,
commonly the left foot is larger than
the right, SO that one shoe may fit a
little more snugly than the other.
Commonly. however. people buy shoes
in regularly matched pairs. the diff.
ference in their, feet. II it is noticeab BILE
to them at all. not being enough to
make any other course desirable.
But there are people who buy shoes
Of different sizes or widths. In which
case the dealer breaks two pairs for
them. giving them. to fit their feet,
one shoe from each. In such cases
the dealer matches up the two remain.
ing shoes. one from each Of two pairs,
just as he would where he had broken
one pair to sell one shoe to a one
legged man.
But a man doesn't have to be one
legged or to have feet Of uneven sizes
or shapes to make him ask the dealer
to. break a pair Of shoes for him. Here
was man with two perfectly good
feet who came into the store where
he was accustomed to buy and who
wanted on this occasion one shoe.
Travelling in a sleeping car his shoes
had been mixed up with others and
he had got back one OF his own and
one Of some other mans: a fact, which
he had not discovered until he was too
far away from train and station to
make return and setting things right
possible: and now he came in to buy
one shoe to match his own.

hedge fifteen to eighteen feet high
Will lessen the evaporation Of soil
moisture in its vicinity. On the lee
ward side the evaporation of moisture
Is lessened to a considerable distance
from the hedge and close up to the
windbreak on the windward side. The
influence Of the hedge on the evapora-
ton Of soil moisture depends upon the
humidity. temperature. velocity Of the
wind. and kind and condition Of the
soil. At distance Of 200 feet from
the leeward side Of the hedge this in.
duence falls of. but not rapidly. On
the windward side the loss from evap-
grafton is less at 80 feet than at 200 or
800 feet and lowest at 100 feet. prob
ably due to the checking of the wind
on approaching the hedge. The hedge
has greater influence in retaining
soil moisture in fine. sandy loan than
In silt loan. but not at such a great
distance from the hedge.
These facts were brought out In an
experiment carried on in 1910 by
Wilbur Zacharias. a senior In the
Kansas Agricultural college. This
experiment was continued from Octo-
Der II to November %. or a period Of
Il days. Observations were taken and
cylinders Of soil weighed every "a
hours. Ni F..
The wtndbreak in this experiment
was an Usage orange hedge on the
college farm. Mr.. Zacharias, who
did the work for his thesis. gave the
most careful attention to the test.
The physics department OF the college
took temperature and wind velocity
readings.
From this experiment and other OBJ
servations made by F. H. King of
Wisconsin and R. A. Emerson Of the
University OF Nebraska. It Is to be in
ferred that hedges would be of great
importance In the level plains region.

ton Of moisture Is excessive. This Is

climates. but hedges or any forest

means OF bringing about a solution of
the conservation of soil moisture In
