would pass.
Mr.. G.. B. Reynolds and 1
reached our homes after 8 o'clock
p. m. both feeling good over our
trip with one exception, viz: our
horse did not understand that we
are from the sticks and could not
appreciate her town antics and fan
cy stepping when we came face to
face with automobiles. The gen.
tleman from whom we hired the
animal assured US she was not any
more afraid of a gasolene splutterer
than she was of a bundle of fodder.
Well now Mr.. B. A. Jordan is a
reliable and truthful gentleman and
there is only one solution of our
difference of opinion and that is
that our hired horse took us for
town people. i. N. l..

Tribute to Little Clarence.

The death angel invaded the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. /. G. Harri-
son, on the 18th of May at half past
eleven o'clock and took from them
little James Clarence Harrison aged
9 months and days. He had been
sick off and on since January but
his name had been .entered on Yer
non cradle roll as a member of the
Sunday school. He was laid to rest
on the 18th inst. in Vernon ceme-
terry, Rev. Foster Speer officiating.
After all that could be done by
DR.. J. H.Self's skillful treatment
and the many sympathizing friends,
the heavenly Father saw fit to call
him to that happy home beyond,
and now while their hearts are
lacerated and torn and the dark
clouds of dispair hover around
them, may they say as David did,
"Our child cannot come back to US
but we can go to him.
The home that was once aglow
with happiness and sunshine is now
shrouded in darkness. Another
flower has been plucked from earth
and transplanted to Gods Paradise.
The great Father has taken him to
that happy home above where he is
now waiting and watching for dear
ones left behind. A flower that
bloomed and was taken by an angel
hand to add to the beauties of heav-
en-. God says Suffer little children
to come unto me, for of such is the
kingdom of heaven. 1t is hard for
them to understand why their baby
was taken from them but some day
they will. May the great physician
heal their broken hearts and may
they so live that they will be gath
cred around that great white throne
in heaven where they can meet
their dear ones and be reunited In
that heaven without end.
A Friend.

Does Farming Pay?
(Times Mercury

Yes, farming pays larger divi-
dend than any other business. Of
course, this takes in stock raising,
poultry business, nursery and dairy
ing.
1t may not pay in dollars and
cents like speculation, manufactur-
ing and dealings in stocks and fu-
lures. But it pays in ease of mind,
in health, in morals and in raising
children to work, and to be good
citizens. Farmers do not know how
many restless nights people who en- X.
gage in other vocations and business
have to endure. They do not know
how many temptations other people
have and how hard it is to raise
children where all kinds of dissipa-
tions run riots at nights. So far
mers, stick to the farm. Don't move
to mills and to town, especially if
you have a farm, have children and
can work it.
If you can rent a farm, do it. 1t
may not pay you as much money,
but your bank account in health,
happiness, for time and for eternity,
will over-balance any money con-
sideration you may be capable of
commanding.

3rd. That we deeply sympathize
with the grief stricken husband,

the other dear ones upon whom the

them to our Heavenly Father, who
doeth all things well; trusting that
the wisdom and virtues Of such
life as that of our beloved friend
and co-worker, may continue to
bear fruit and reproduce itself i'll
usefulness, and be help to many
others through time to come.
4th. That copies of these resolu-
tions be furnished the family of the
deceased, be published in The Edge

DRYING POTATOES.

Within the past few years an impor-
tant industry has developed In Germa-
ny along the line of drying potatoes
for use as stock and human food. Ger
many grows nearly five times as many
potatoes as the United States, and the
need was realized some time ago Of de-
vising a method whereby they could
be treated so as to extend the period
of their use beyond the few months
In which they are disable when kept in
their natural state. Two general dry
ing processes have been adopted. In
one the potatoes are cooked by steam.
mashed and dried by being passed be-
tween rollers heated by steam. By
these it is pressed into q thin sheet,
and knives scrape it off the rollers. In
this form the dried potato is called
''flocken." or flakes. and is in the form
of a potato meal. In the second meth
cd the potatoes are shredded while
raw and subjected to very high tenn
peratures, being carried through long
chambers in which the temperature
gradually decreases. The finished prod
uct Is known as "schnitzel." The
growth in the industry is shown in the
fact that there were but 11S factories
in operation in 1907. while last year
there were 40S Both these forms Of
the dried potato are used chiefly as a
substitute for corn in feeding hogs. AS
result of breeding experiments the
starch content of some varieties has
been Increased from II to % per cent,
but often at the expense Of size and
yield.

Death List Re caches Eieht.

Newark, N. j., Sept. 10. The eighth
death as a result of Eddie Hasha's
ride into crowd of spectators at the
motor cycle races here last Sunday
occurred tonight when Charles E. Will
liams, &c years old of this city, died at
the city hospital.
Chief Justice Gummere of the Su-
preme court, decided tonight that with
eight dead and four still in the hospitals
in critical condition there should be
grand inquest.
An autopsy performed today by Coun-
ty Physician Mckenzie on the body of
Hasha showed that death was due to
fractured skull and internal injuries.
There was nothing to support the state
ment of a doctor who had attended
Hasha that he was stricken with paral-
ysis while riding.
The body was shipped to Waco, Tex.
tonight. Hasha's former home.

HE PROVED 1T,

One southwestern Iowa apple grower
has demonstrated the mission of bees
as fertilizers of apple blossoms to his
own entire satisfaction Just as his
orchard came into bloom last spring he
tied small paper sacks over some 200
blossom clusters in different parts of
his orchard. AS soon as the petals had
fallen he replaced the paper sacks with
mosquito netting. so that the cluster
might have proper ventilation, yet be
kept from the visits of bees and other
insects. AS the season advanced not a
single apple developed In any Of the
clusters which were shielded in the
above manner. 1t is because OF the
fact made plain in this experiment that
the presence Of hives of bees in or near
an orchard is considered so beneficial

LeeumEs FOR THE ORCHARD.

In the valley in which the writer's

mers during which period the clean till
age system is followed. 1t is desira BILE
to SOW leguminous cover crop In the
fall about the time the rainy season
sets in. This not only serves as a soil
renovator, but when plowed under in
the spring adds to the soil humus, an
element in which all too many western
orchard soils are lacking. Besides this,
the heavy growth of the legume, which
continues through the winter owing to
the mild climate, tends to check the
wash of the soil by the heavy rains.

Children See Father Burn to Death
Beneath Auto.

Paulina, Ia, Sept. Rev. H. Crete,
pastor of the Lutheran church in Ger
mantown, Ia, early to-day burned to
death before the eyes of his children
and several other persons while pinned
beneath a wrecked motor car. The
blaze was started by lantern with
which his rescuers were working. The
car was driven by August Paulding, of
Germantown In it were children of
both Rev. Mr.. Crete and Mr.. Paulding.
About six miles from Pauina the steer
ing gear refused to work and the au-
tomobile fell from small bridge,
Rev. Crete was pinned beneath the
wreck The children were thrown clear.
Mr.. Paulding was seriously injured.
The cries of the children brought per-
sons in the neighborhood to the rescue.
One had lantern. Gasolene from the
oil tank of the machine had spread to
the wreck. The man holding the Ian
tern dropped it. Instantly the wreck
was in flames. The rescuers made fran
tic efforts to aid the Clergyman, and
several persons suffered severe burns
trying to raise the burning machine
from his body. Rev. Mr.. Crete met
death with prayers on his lips.
