BECOME N. E. IOWA FARMERS.
Thirty-Five of Them Left Cedar
Rapids Friday Night to Develop
Farms in This Vicinity.

A special train which left Cedar
Rapids for northern Iowa on Friday
| night again starts the immigration
to the promising lands in the north
ern part of this state. 1t also shows
lat Iowa farmers have learned that
their own state contains new lands
which are far superior to many of
the much advertised lands in the
west.
The train consisted of eleven cars,
which carried household furniture,
farm implements and live stock and
passenger coach which carried thir-
ty-five persons. These new citizens
of northern Iowa are experienced
farmers and they will arrive in their
new homes with plenty of live stock
and farming machinery to start the
agricultural business in good shape.
They are men and women who want
to buy cheaper lands which they can
develop as they developed the lands
in TINS territory.
The emigrants come from the vi
cinity of Upton, Buchanan, Scion,
Atalissa, Clarence and West Branch.
They came to Cedar ,tapids ON Rock
Island trains. The towns near which
they will make their homes are Lime
Springs, McIntire, Chester and
CrescO.

Mail Order Catalogues Burned.

with the band playing and a vast
crowd cheering, several hundred
mail order catalogues. practically all
there were in town. were piled in a
great heap in a public street in Cedar
Falls last Friday night and burned,
says the Waverly Democrat. The
bonfire was the result of an agitation
inaugurated by the Cedar Falls Com
mercial Club to promote the patron
age Of home merchants. Following
the cremation of the catalogues, adj
dresses were made by President j..
Murphy and Vice President Paul
Davis of the Iowa League of Retail
Merchants" Now that indicates 10y
atty to home merchants. Of course
the merchants are also loyal! The
grocers will buy their dry goods and
clothing at home. The dry goods
men will buy their clothes and fur
niture at home hereafter. And the
druggists will take their own medi-
cine. And all will patroniZe the
home print shop when they want
printed stationery. And they will all
advertise in the home papers, so that
the farmers and everybody may
know what the merchants are here
for. 1t pays to be loyal all around.
A bonfire is a good thing sometimes.

Engrayes on Pinhead.

Edmund Z. Kieffert, of this city
has engraved two complete alphabets
upon the head of tiny stickpin, an
undertaking attempted by many, but
which had never been accomplished
successfully. Mr.. Kieffert is % years
old. Six years ago he started to
learn the engravers' trade in Daven-
port. Later, to better himself, he
went to other cities, where he work
ed in the leading jewelry establish
ments. He returned to Davenport a
year ago. Mr.. Kieffert is very mod
est and does not seem to realize what
he has accomplished. He does not
seem to realize that he has several
we'll known engravers of the United
States beaten when it comes to fine
work. In addition to placing the
two alphabets on the tiny head of a
pin Mr.. Kieffert put the numerals
1912" at the bottom for good meas
ure.

INJUNCTION IS CAUSE OF JOY.
Cedar Falls Business Man Not WOr-
ried When Writ is Served
on Him.

Waterloo, Feb. est is not often
that, when a man has a business
deal spoiled by creditor with writ
of injunction, he can wrap himself
in broad smiles and hug the officer
who serves the writ, but if reports
are true this is what happened in
Cedar Falls last week.
The International Harvester COM
pany commenced an action in the
district court against Frank Wilcox
and G. B. Welenborg in which it is
claimed that Wilcox is indebted to
the plaintiff company in the sum of
$2,172.65 for goods and merchant Sc
delivered. Wilcox is am agricultural
implement dealer in Cedar Falls.
The Harvester company further stat
ed that Wilcox had sold his business
to Welenborg without giving the
plaintiff the required three days
notice and asked the court to set the
sale aside and to 'Ssue temporary in
junction restraining The defendants
from making the deal. Judgment for
the amount is also asked.
The court issued the injunction,
and when it was served on Wilcox
it developed, so 1t is said, that Will
cox had traded his stock of goods
for northern land but found that the
land was not as good as he thought
it was. The injunction will likely
have the effect of calling the deal
off.
Another case, identical in nature,
was started against Wilcox and We'll
enborg by the Gale Manufacturing
company, which claims that Wilcox
Is indebted to the plaintiff concern
in the sum of Si,034.23.

MISSISSIPPI RIVER CAVIAR.
Sturgeon Roe to Amount of Quarter
Million Pounds is Shipped
Every Year.

McGregor, Iowa, Mar. 5.-When il
is shipped away from the Iowa, Wis
consin and Minnesota towns along
the upper Mississippi, jet black mass
of tiny, shiny, gleatinous globules
the rails or kegs in which it is pack
ed are labeled sturgeon roe" BY
the time the product has reached its
destination and is gracing platter
in New York, London or Paris res
taurant is has become Russian
Caviare."
The deception is an innocent one,
since the roe of the Mississippi stur-
geon has been found to be quite
equal in delicacy and flavor to that
obtained from the surgeons of the
Don and Dnieper in Russia. The
Mississippi product being new to the
market, however, sells better under
the old familiar name.
The sturgeon, be it Russian or a
native of the Mississippi, is enorm-
ously prolific. 100000 ova is about
the average production of female
in a season. Not infrequently one
third of the weight of a sturgeon is
found to be roe. One caught by a
McGregor fisherman last fall weighed
fifty pounds. 1t contained seventeen
pounds of spawn. The roe sold for
$14.50. The dressed fish brought
$3.50, making total return to the
fisherman of $3.50, or about 80
cents pound for his fish live weight.
The sturgeon casts its spawn in
June in the upper Mississippi. The
roe gathering extends from Septem-
Der UP until that time. Much of it
is taken from sturgeon which the
fishermen seine through the ice in
winter. Eighty cents per pound is
about the average price received by
the fishermen.
The sturgeon are caught altogeth-
er in nets and seines. They live out
in the main channel in the company
of the carp, buffalo and Sleeps
head. Their long, spade shaped snout
is more pronounced than in the Eu-
ropean varieties. With it, like all
the rest of the sturgeon tribe, they
burrow in the bottom of the river
for small fish, sna'ls and other
crustaceans. The Mississippi fisher
men find them one of the easiest fish
to seine and haulS of several thou
sand pounds in a single day are fire.

1t remained for an Independence

scheme by means of which the tip

vented. He rugged curved boards,
running parallel with the sleigh run
ners and out some few feet, and at q
height of a foot or two above the

over to one side or the other and
leaned over too far the curved board
rested upon the ground, and it was
impossible for the load to upset, a
mishap which is quite liable to hap
