POOR FARM SHOWS BIG PROFIT.
Celro GOrdO County Institution
Cleaned up Nearly $4,000
in Year Past.

Mason City, Ia, Jan. 80. - Ten
thousand, seven hundred and fifty
dollars are the proceeds this year of
the Cerro Gordo county poor farm,
secured from a report just made by
Stewart Pat Mcclure; $5,575 of this
has been put back on the farm in
the way of building a $4,000 barn,
an electric light plant and machine
products raised consumed by the in
mates. A total of $4,000 is left to
be placed in the bank for future use
According to the inventory just TAX
en- by the board of supervisors, the
land, figured at SIS per acre and
furniture has a total valuation OF
SAL, 200, stock $13,142, hay, grain
and feed $S,933, making a total as
set of $63,275. The income from
stock and produce sold during the
year amounts to $10,O66.21. One OF
the items of special interest is the
fact that twelve brood sows turned
in lao live pigs. On the farm are
242 Aberdeen Angus cattle, as fine
a herd as there is in the state. 1t
is believed few counties in the state
can produce a better report than
this.

Makes Money on Iowa Farm.

Waterloo, Ia, Jan. 3O.-In order
to make as much money in year as
the salary of a congressman one
needs only to rent an Iowa farm on
shares and operate it along modern
lines. This is illustrated by H. Hursh,
who came to this county last spring
from Illinois. He rented the 4S0
acre Vaughan farm near Hudson,
raised $4,000 bushels of corn which
sold at an average of so cents a
bushel, besides much other grain,
potatoes and stock. His share of the
returns will be approximately $4,000.

Gives Three Reasons.

G. Archdall Reid in Principles of
Heredity." IF we analyze the mo-
tives which induce men to drink we
find that they are three in number.
In the first place men drink to salts
fly thirst. When the percentage of
water, an organic constituent of their
bodies, falls below the normal, they
seek instinctively to supply the de-
ficiency. When possible they flavor
the water in various ways as by tea,
coffee or alcohol. Secondly, men
drink to crafty taste. They seek to
produce a pleasant sensation by eX-
citing the nerve endings in the
mouth. Their motives are then pre-
cisely the same as those which ami
mate girl who consumes a choco-
late cream. Thirdly, men drink to
induce those peculiar feelings, those
peculiar frames of mind, which when
alcohol, circulating in greater -Or
lesser quantities in the blood, acts
directly on the central nervous sys-
tenn"
DR.. Reid points out in bis book
remarkable study in heredity-
that drunkards are those who use
ardent spirits, and not the mild bev-
erages, that the continued use of
strong drink does not bring about as
much insanity and disease as do
these latter things bring about
drunkenness. He is convinced that
temperance will materialize only in
those communities where the indi-
vidual is taught moderation, and
that temperance will never become a
realization in places where total OBJ
stinence is urged or forced upon the
people by legislation. He says that
he who drinks only beer and light
wines is like the girl who consumes
chocolates-shek knows when she has
enough"

Postville Bank Makes 200 Per Cent.

At a special meeting of the stock
holders of the Citizens State Bank
of Postville held Tuesday, Jan. 23,
at which nearly all of the stockhold-
ers were represented, either in per-
son or by proxy, it was decided to
increase the membership of the
board of directors from seven to nine
members. The board of directors
was also authorized to declare divi-
denl of two hundred per cent at its
next regular meeting, this dividend
being made from the accumulated
surplus and undivided profits now on
hand. This dividend, however, will
be converted into capital stock in one
of two ways, viz: The present stock
holders many secure two additional
shares of stock for each share now
held by them; or if they do not de-
sire any additional stock, they may
retain their original holdings and
take the dividend in cash, and
the holdings thus released will
be disposed of to other parties
but under no condition can any OF
the present stockholders buy the
stock thus released at the time OF
reorganization
To the $4,000 stock created as
above mentioned will be added
$4,000 of new stock, already sub
scribed for by a number of Tie in,
tIuential business men and farmers
of Postville and vicinity.

A general alarm on the telephone
Wednesday noon warned the people
that the dwelling of the Peter Kang-
ley farm two miles south of town
was being destroyed by fire. The
fire originated from chimney and
communicated to the roof. When
help arrived the whole south roof
was a roaring mass of flames and
with no fire fighting apparatus they
could not be checked. The furniture
on the ground floor was saved. Mr..

BELLEvUE's LICENSE $4,000.
HI. Ellinghouse Gets Permit For the
One Saloon-Bid For II.

Bellevue Herald: The agony is all
over and the town can now settle
down to its normal condition. While
the provisions of the Moon law are
fragrant violations of common sense,
yet for the present it is the law that
must be recognized, and whether it
suits us or not we'll have to put up
with it.
The city council met on Thursday
night and found but two sealed bids
for their consideration, one of which
was from Matt Haverland proposing
to give $4,000 for the saloon privi-
lege for one year. The other bid
was from II. Ellinghouse Offering
$1,000 for the privilege, and the
same was awarded to him.
OF this amount the city will get
$1,000 and the other $500 will go to
the county Thus the city is better
off financially from the license of one
saloon than it has been formerly
from the nine, and so far it is the
greatest amount paid for saloon
privilege that we have heard of in
the state.

A BALD-HEADED WOMAN
Shorn of Her Crown of Beauty, Loses
in Love and Marriage.

Hair is certainly most necessary to
woman Who could love and marry a
bald-headed woman? What charms
could one array to offset such a dis
tigurement?
A woman's goal is usually love and
marriage Her browning glory is her
hair. The loss of her hair mars her
beauty, happiness, and success. Yet,
right here in Paw Paw, there are
thousands of women who are neglect
ing or iujuriug their hair TO such an
extent that it is only a matter of time
when it will be utterly ruined.
Many women destroy the beauty of
their hair through thoughtless or
ignorance Of certain facts They use
curling irons over-heated, or to excess
which destroys the natural oil of the
hair, causing it to split, break and
come out. They do not shampoo their
hair often enough or too often. They
use soaps or preparations which con-
tain ingredients positively harmful to
the scalp and hair.
As a result of such trea tment,
dandruff is created, the hair loosenS,
loses color, falls out, and badness
commences, unless proper and prompt
precautions are taken in time. Then
again, microbes and certain diseases
bring about unhealthy scalp and hair
conditions.
Almost any woman may rid herself
of dandruff and diseased scalp and
hair If she will but use the right
remedy We have that remedy, and
we will positively guarantee that it
will either cure dandruff and badness
or it will not cost the user anything.

Dear Sir
The records in this department dis
close that there are many nonresident
decedents owning stock in Michigan
corporations at the time of their death,
and assuming that some of said corpo-
rations are unfamiliar with the pro-
visions of the Michigan inheritance tax
law, desire to call your attention to
Section 9 of Act 1913, Public Acts of 1903
which reads as follows:
IF foreign executor, administrators
or trustee shall assign or convey any
stock or obligation in this state standing
in the uame of a decedent, or in trust
for decedent, liable to any such tax,
the tax shall be paid to the treasurer of
the proper county on the transfer there
of; aud any corporation, person or
persons having control over any such
assets, shall not deliver or transfer the
same TO any person or corporation other
than an executor, administrator, trustee
or guardian duly qualified under the
laws of this state, until the tax to which
the same is liable has bsen paid as pro-
vided 10 this act. No safe deposit CON-
pany, trust company, bank or other
institution, person or persons holding
securities or assets of a decedent, shall
deliver or transfer the same to the
executors, administrators or legal repre-.
sentatives of said decedent, or their
assignees unless notice of the time and
place of such intended delivery or
transfer be served supon the county
treasurer by said company, bank, insti.
tuition, person or persons, at least five
days prior to the said delivery or trans
fer. And it shall be lawful for the said
county treasurer and is hereby made
his duty personally or by representative
to examine said securities or assets at
the time of or prior TO such delivery or
transfer. Failure to serve such notice
or to allow such examination on the
delivery of transfer erein prohibited
shall render such safe deposit company,
bank or other institution, person or
persons liable TO the payment Of the tax
due or to become due upon said
securities or assets 10 pursuance of the
provisions If this act.
1t will be seen from the above that
Michigan corporations cannot legally
transfer stock belonging to nonresident
decedents until receipt showing full
payment of the tax, signed by the county
treasurer of the county in which the te x
was determined, or a copy of the Judge
of probate's order determining no tax,
