WHAT MAKES A WOMAN

Not costly dress, not queenIy air;
Not jeweled hands, complexion fair.
Not graceful form. not lofty tread,
Nor paint and eurIs, nor splendid head.
Not pesrly teeth, not sparkling eyes,
Not voices that the nightingale outvles.
Not breath as sweet as eglantine,
Not saudy gems, nor fabrics fine;
Not all the stores Of fashion,
Nor yet the bland ishrnents Of art:
Not one, not all Of these combined
Can make a woman true, refined

MOLINE PUMP co. ADAPTED
TO FARM WORK. 49,.

The Ottumwa-Moline Pump Co. Is
putting out new gasoline engine OF
two, two and one-half and four horse
power that is especially adapted to
farm use. This new style engine has
been given vigorous tests by engineers
who understand the frailities of such
pieces Of machinery, and it has been
pronounced the best in many respects,
and in several the superior to all 9th
ers. Without any solicitation, the
company has been receiving orders
from neighborhoods in which the en-
CINE has been operated. It is the de-
sire of the management that people
in this city and this vicinity become
thoroughly conversant with the merits
of the new engine, and with that end
in view, Manager Killinger invites all
to call at the factory during working
hours, and a competent demonstration
would show the various points of the
engine. All will be welcome.

"a few minutes. His death was due to
acute Indigestion.
Jacob Allender was at the time OF
his death the oldest man in Jefferson

Despite his advanced age he was hale
and hearty and relatives and friends
were not prepared in the least for the
visit of the death angel
Mr.. Allender was born in McCon-
nellsbury, Penn, November 81, 1920.
There he grew to young manhood and
was married. In 184S Mr. Allender and
family came to Jefferson county and a
year later when the gold fever struck
California and later spread to the west
Mr. Allender went to that state to
prospect. In 1851 he returned and took
up his residence on a farm northeast
of this city and has since resided in
that city.
The funeral services were held this
afternoon at o'clock at the residence
at Salina and the interment will take
place in the Richwoods cemetery. Dr.
Thomas Osborn, pastor Of the First
Methodist church of this city, will con-
duct the last services.

County Auditor G. w. McCarty and
Treasurer Henry Glenn attended the
Cedar Rapids convention Thursday.
Messrs. Wilson and Glenn could not
refrain from ride through the coun-
try, so boarded the interurban and
went to Iowa City.
Il saw more oats in the fields be-
tween Iowa City and Cedar Rapids
yesterday than have seen for many
years." says Mr.. Wilson. I'm my judg
ment the harvest will bring from sixty
to seventy-five bushels to the acre.
The ordinary crop Is between thirty
five and forty. The crop this year is
about double the usual production.
have never seen the like Of 1t. The
corn, too, is coming along wonderfully
and promises to be, bumper crop.
Iowa will be rich old state after fall
Is over No wonder these farmers come
to town with smiles and wear them all
the time. They ought to dream peace
fully every night. Why they can see
that corn growing and when they look
at the oat fields they can begin to
think Of an automobile or perhaps an
other one"
