Eldora, April 11.-During the past
two weeks q great number OF Eldora
people have walked or driven to the
old mill site, just on the eastern edge
of the city, called there by the view
offered by the ice passing over the dam
and to inspect the seat Of power of the
Park Dam Company, the new concern
which hopes to get the lighting con-
tract of the city.
It has been noticed by hundreds Of
people on these visits that an old land
mark, large flinty stone, weighing
tons, has in some manner drifted up
stream. Years ago, long before the
now old bridge was built across the
Iowa river at this point, this stone
marked the spot where the river could
be forded with safety and many travel
ers have been guided by its Gibraltar
appearance into a safe harbor. The
most reasonable solution given for this
strange phenomenon is that the back
water from the mill dam, just short
distance above the old ford, has grad
ually undermined the earth underneath
the massive boulder in such a way
that the rock has gradually moved up
stream until now it is far from its
original location or where it first was
seen by the early settlers here in 1866
and 1856
Scientists plausibly assert that water
will not find it's way UP hill and it is
the common experience of mankind
that the force of gravity has an almost
irresistible clair on fhinps movable
but the fact remains that this boulder
moving up stream denies both these
commonly accepted truths. The old
rock today proudly holds its flinty ap-
pearance as of old.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, April 11.-Suggestions
from the state pure food department
as to purchase of corn for seed:
Buy OF reputable and we'll estao-
lished dealers only.
Buy with at least fifteen days time
for testing the corn.
Buy with agreement to pay at your
home town, not where purchased.
Buy only corn guaranteed to be
tested and to go over "a per cent.
II purchased corn tests under 81 send
samples to the state pure food depart
ment and hold the corn for examina-
ton.
The state officials are doing every
thing they can to aid the farmers IN
securing good seed corn, or rather In
testing their corn and in making sure
of good seed. Some Of the dealers are
selling with privilege of ten days in
which to make the test. This is not
time enough, when the time of trans
portation is taken out, but fifteen days
should be insisted upon. Some of the
dealers are also sending out their corn
not labeled at all as to what the test
indicates. They can do this with i'm
punity provided the corn so sold ac-
tually tests out "a per cent good. but if
it should test out less than this. the
dealer would be liable for heavy penal
ties unless he has tagged the sacks
showing the actual result Of tests
made
The matter is OF such Importance
that the state is prepared thru its
proper officers to give instant aid to
farmers who have been wronged by
INSCRIPTIONS dealers.
