feeling n trins disappointed that he was going
away so soon
At breakfast the next morning, every one was
very excited by the news the morning papers
gave that a huge Australian bank had failed. and
that Its failure meant ruin 20 many big firms In
the city. Elphie turned pale when she heard OF
IT, and her eyes sought her aunts across the
table. Instinctiveiy both OF them turned TO Nor

news. for they well knew that het had sworn by
this bank and must be deeply involved.

Elphie grew visibiy paler. Breakfast was sent
upstairs. but was sent down again untouched.
Then Mrs Blair went up. she came back deeply
distressed. She had been asked through closed
doors TO leave Norton alone for a while.

meal through. She heard the guests at the table
remark that Norton Dene must be absolutely

Indifferent way In which they treated the news.
After breakfast was over she hurried her aunt
away into her sitting-room and burst forth:

Nevada. Aug. 12.-Prof. l.. II. Pam
mel. the weed specialist over at Iowa
state College, Is now up in arms and
ready to wage war upon the county
authorities over the state who are not
enforcing the weed law and more espe-
cially the law regarding the extermina-
ton of Quack grass. He has lately re-
turned from Spencer. where he was
called to identify quack grass found In
abundance upon a farm owned BY q
nonresident
The neighbors had entered strenuous
complaint but the grass continued TO
flourish. Prosecutions were started
as a result of Professor Pammels Visit
to the county. There Is no small
amount Of quack grass existing in GER
tain sections of Story county, one
especially heavy growth being on 8
farm on the Trancontinental road pc
tween here and Ames. Professor ram
mel says that unless the authorizes
look after the matter and the law Is
properly enforced he will institute pro-
ceedings against those in authority Tor
not attending totheir duty.
When the matter became so alarm
ing that the legislature saw fit to pass
a rigid law to free the state from sucn
pests, he is Of the opinion that Story
county, as we'll as all other counties
of the state should see that the law Is
observed.
