POPCORN KING HOARDS PENNIES
Waterloo Business Man Collects g.,
$50 Copper Pieces i'm Short
Time.

Waterloo, Dec. 9.-One day last
summer Charles Sheldon, who has
been the popcorn king" of Water
loo for several years, conceived the
idea that he would save all the pen
MES that fell into his hands. At the
close of each days business he would
deposit all the coppers in grip.
The weeks went by and the hoard of
pennies increased nightly. One day
SO many were in the grip that it
could not be lifted without the ham
die giving way. Then a box was
substituted. One day last week Mr..
Sheldon decided to transport his
pennies to the bank.
He divided the one cent pieces in
to two parts. Each half filled two
large grips, and combined weighed
close to 100 pounds. When he and
an assistant arrived at the window of
the Commercial National bank stag
gering under their loads of pennies
CONSERVATION reigned among the
clerks. The pennies were deposited
in a number of large heaps and the
counting began. When it was finish
ed the number of pennies was found
to be $3.50 and Mr.. Sheldon was
credited with $3.50.
During the last few weeks scar
city of coppers has existed in Water
loo and stores selling goods at odd
prices have been Inconvenience in
making change. There are only about
$500 worth of pennies in Waterloo,
so the absence of third of these
made itself felt in the channels of
trade.

Magnitude of Farm Wealth.

The value of the American farm
land is now over Sal, 900, 200, 900, an
increase in value of $21, 900, 900, 900
in 20 years. There are over 6,OOO,-
900 farms, covering 100000
acres. A large majority of these
farms are worked by their owners,
who number over 100000. These
farmers form the largest single class
Of voters in the United States. They
form the backbone of the American
people. Each of these farms is equip
ped with buildings, machinery, ETC.,
to the average value of $4,000, so
that the average farmer is not only
a small capitalist, but is also la
borer, working on the property which
he owns. Assuming that each far
mer's family averages six, there is a
farming community in this country
of over 3O,OO0.OOO, or one-third of
the entire population.

TAFT GRANTS PARDON.
Cedar Rapids Man Violated Law Thru
IgnOrance.-Gave Indian
Drink.

George Dinnie, who, in ignorance
of the law, furnished liquor to an
Indian at Cedar Rapids, Ia, and
then voluntarily laid bare his unwit-
ting offense, for which he was SEN
fenced to Imprisonment and fine, was
pardoned Internationally by Presi-
dent Taft Friday.
Dinnie, who had been away from
Cedar Rapids for many years, recent
ly returned and met an Indian on
the street who pleaded for drink
Dinnie purchased it. A few hours
afterward he told a policeman friend
of the experience and was astounded
by the information that he had vio-
lated the law The policeman said
tell the marshal, the marshal said tell
the court, the court said 60 days,
500 and costs.
The sentence was temporarily sus-
pended, the trial Judge and district
attorney recommending a full par
don, the application for which was
warmly Endorsed by Attorney Gener-
al Wickersham, who said Dinnie had
proved his good citizenship by his
manly and straightforward conduct.

WOMEN ADEPT AT LIP READING
Elderly Ladies of EldOra Keep i'm
Touch With Families That
Way.

Eldora, Dec. 9.-This vicinity pos
sesses two elderly ladies who have
the power of lip reading. While
they may not recognize that they are
masters of an important and COM
paratively new science, of being able
to read whispered conversation mere
ly by the movement of the speaker
lips, such is the fact. The science
carries with it also the power to read
the movements of the lips at a con-
siderable distance, even when there
is not so much as whispered utter
ance. Both Mrs. U. j. Bowman, who
lives northwest of Eldora, and Mrs.
B. S. Price, who lives east, are very
deaf. 1t is with the greatest difficult
ty that they are able to distinguish
sound, yet BY the movement of a
speakers lips in common toned con-
versation or even if that conversation
be in the faintest whispers, they are
able to understand what is said.

Emmetsburg, Dec. 9.-Theile and
Oelfke, proprietors of the Model Mills
at Emmetsburg are the first so far
as reported in this part of Iowa to
shell the 1912 corn crop, five thous-
and bushels being shelled and ship

of this week. This corn was husked.

cribs, shelled, dumped at their eleva-
tor and loaded into cars without be-
ing shovelled once. When a farmer
comes to the mill a raising jack is
placed under the front end of the
wagon box, his team is hitched to the
sweep of the corn elevator and in five
minutes the corn is in the crib. When
1t comes to Smelling, Joseph Martini,
the veteran thresher and corn shell
Ter places his conveyor with endless
belt along the side of the corn crib, a
half dozen boards are torn off the
bottom of the crib and a couple of
men rake the corn down to the belt,
which conveys it to the shelter. An
other novel sight is the wind cleaner
which blows out all chaff, husks and
silks leaving the corn clean enough

but as this one firm has eleven car
loads coming in the first of this week
they thought it necessary to make
room by shipping. The corn is dry
and shells remarkably clean.

ARE YOU A GOOD FELLOW?
Good Fellow Club i'm DEBORAH Will
Again Make Homes Happy for
Christmas.

1t will be remembered by many
that last year, through a suggestion
made in these columns, the Good
Fellow movement was put into oper-
alton in DEBORAH, and many of our
citizens joined the club and proved a
good fellow" to some one who need
ed and appreciated it, The Ladies'
Union Aid Society took charge of the
matter, and it was such success
that it will be repeated again this
year in the same manner.
The plan is for anyone who cares
to do SO to pick out some deserving
person to whom he wishes to be a
good fellow in other words, to do
something for at Christmas time
Then to notify Mrs. G.. f. Baker,
president of the above society, phone
1873, who will enroll his name and
if desired the name of the person
to be cared for in this manner, or
If not the latter may be kept secret.
Or if a person desires to do some
thing for the club, and has no spec
ial person in mind to give to, sum
of money, or a gift of any kind may
be sent to Mrs. Baker and the So
ciety will see that some deserving
person receives it,
In this manner there will be a
Santa Claus for every child and ev-
cry needy person in DEBORAH, it is
hoped. 1t is a praiseworthy move
ment, and has resulted in great good
throughout the nation.
Be good fellow" this year. Do
something for someone outside your
immediate family and friendships.
Be Santa Claus to some one, and
your Christmas will be made happier,
as well as that of the recipient.

Country Showing Should be Improved

Country Showing Should be Improved
Figures show that deaths from tu-
berculosis are as numerous in the
country as in the city. In spite of all
the fresh air on farms, this prevent
able disease still increases. This
shows that in some way the cities
overcome their handicap of crowded
quarters and lack of sunlight. In
vestigatofs say the poor showing of
the country is the result of closed
bedroom windows in farm houses.
If every bedroom in every farm
house near DEBORAH had a window
open every night there might be few
er funerals, and certainty of bet
ter health.
