George Bason.

George Bason died at his home
near Tuskeego, Iowa, December ),
and in the details too beauti-
fully perfected were seen the loving
thoughts of his neighbors and
friends. We came not to mourn that
he is dead, but to rejoice that such a
beautiful soul has gone to heaven.
We always felt sweet sympathy
and encouragement in his presence,
and loved to be with him. But our
friend has gone to his long home.
Yet the fragrance Of his influence
and sympathy will linger with us al
ways, and his thoughfulness and
consideration for others will be our
example; his kind words and tender
tones we will strive to initiate, and
while his presence is gone, yet thu
strong hand of time shall prove too
slender and feeble to destroy this
memory point, and we hope some
sweet day to meet again this splen-
did man.
We tell our rosemary of remem-
brance, it's with this prayer,-1n our
Fathers mansion. clothed with celes-
tial grace and beautiful with the
souls expansion, we hope to see his
face. But we will never know the
height of his character until the last
day when our accounts are balanced
and we stand before the great white
throne to give an account OF our
stewardship. So farewell unto the
morrow, which soon for us will shine,
when freed from earthly sorrow, will
be forever thine.
In the path of sadness which leads
to his eautiful resting place under
the lilacs and roses, is generated a
light which throws it's radiance of
hundreds of virtues. which will live
and shine for us forever.
He removed with his parents from
StaffordShire, England, to America
in 1S41; was married to Mary Vice
in 1872 She is left, with Mrs. Wool
ums of Lamont Iowa, Mrs. Leona
Andrews and Mrs. Olive Andrews,
both Of Grand River. Iowa, Mrs.
Charles Butts of Los Vegas, New
Mexico, and two sons. John and
Luther Bason, Of Davis City, Iowa,
and an aged sister, of kewanee. I'LL
nOis, to mourn his loss.

The Right Way for Farmers to Begin
The New Year.

How better could any progressive
Iowa farmer spend the early days of
the new year than by going over to
Ames to attend some of the import
ant agricultural conventions, which
will be held there at that time. These
gatherings offer splendid opportun-
ity to exchange ideas ana experiences
both with fellow farmers from var
ious parts of the state and with the
agricultural teachers and investiga-
tors of the State College and Expert
ment Station Such rubbing up
against fellow agriculturists will
prove a refreshing tonic which will
be helpful throughout the year.
We call particular attention to the
following program of the meeting Of
the Iowa Agricultural Experiment AS
sociation which should attract a
large number of farmers. While at
tending this meeting you can also
take advantage of the winter short
course, the state corn show and meet
ings of other agricultural associa-
tons which convene at Ames, during
the first ten days of January.
Make up your minds and go. or
better still, send some of the boys.

,ablshed in 1880, with an output of
about one million cans. The output
for 1912 was 100000 cases, or 49,
24S,OOO cans. This proves that the
canning industry has had remark
able growth.
The Iowa canning factories repre-
sent a valuation of about four mil
lion dollars. The total output from
these factories in the state for 1912,
amounted to about 100000. This
year on account of drought it is very
much less. In addition to sweet
corn, these factories handle consid-
cradle acreage of tomatoes, cabbage
for sauerkraut, sweet potatoes and
pumpkins. The canning factories in
Iowa are located in the following
counties: Audubon, Benton, Black
hawk, Bremen, Buena Vista, Cass,
Cedar, Dallas, Dubuque, Fayette,
Franklin, Fremont, Iowa, Jones, Lee,

FIFTY POUND PACKAGES by THE
% PARCEL POST. ~
May be Sent After Jan. Hooks Mt
Parcel Rates March 10.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has approved several changes in
the parcel post system which Post
master General Burleson proposes to
make Jan. |. The proposed changes
are
An increase in the weight limit to
zones No. ! and No. 2 from 20
pounds to SO pounds.
An increase in the weight limit to
all other zones from | I pounds to 20
pounds.
A decrease in rates to the third,
fourth, fifth and sixth zones.
Books weighing more than
ounces to be carried by parcel post
at regular zone rates, beginning on
March IS. Books weighing less than
s ounces to continue in third class at
| cent for each ounces.
Provisions for mailing gold, gold
dust and gold bullion from Alaska
in packages weighing not more than
II pounds, at rate OF 2 cents an
ounce.
The proposed reductions in postage
rates are as follows:
Third zone rates, from cents Tor
the first pound and cents for each
additional pound, to 6 cents for the
first pound and 2 cents for each ad-
ditional pound.
Fourth zone rates, from cents
for the first pound and cents for
each additional pound, to cents and
cents, respectively.
Fifth zone rates, from 8 cents for
the first pound and 7 cents for each
additional pound, to 7 cents and 4
| cents, respectively.
Fifth zone rates, from 8 cents for
the first pound and cents for each
additional pound, to cents and .
cents, respectively.
Sixth zone rates, from 10 cents a
pound and cents for each addition
al pound, to cents and cents, re-
spectively.
Farmers Will BE Benefited.
No objection to any changes sug-
gested by Burleson was made. The
only concern was whether the re-
duction in rates would result in a
loss to the government. On this
point the commissioners accepted the
| figures and Judgment of Burleson.
The SO pound limit is confined to
zones No. ! and No. 2 on the theory
that it will enable farmers and mer-
chants to make a much wider use OF
the parcel post. According to postal
experts, the postmaster general is
making 2 cents on the cent rate
within these two zones under 20
pound weight limit and the SO pound
limit also will prove profitable at the
same rates. Within the first zone a
so pound package could be deliver
ed for 80 cents and within the second
zone for "a cents.
The number of parcels handled in
the first and second zones since the
weight limit was increased to 20
pounds and the postage rates reduc-
, ed, shows an increase of 16 per cent,
the average weight from IL to IL
. pounds and the average postage from
II to 10 cents.
/ Burleson in a statement said that
: ''the department is engaged in gath
ering the necessary statistics for the
information of congress to enable
it to fix a correct basis for just,
fair and adequate compensation for
the service rendered.

Osceola Happy Over Their New Deep
Well.

On account of the defective tenn
polary pumping outfit used the test
of the deep we'll the past week has
not been constant. Thirty-fve gal
Ions per minute was pumped contin-
uously for 60 hours, 60 gallons per
minute for "a hours after which the
stroke was increased to what was
estimated to be from IS to 100 gal
Ions per minute but the pump not
being strong enough for the test,
broke before the test at this rate
was thoroughly made.
There is now little doubt in, the
minds of those in charge Of the work
but what we have an abundance of
water for all purposes. Contractor
Shaw offered to wager a very liberal
sum that the capacity of the we'll will
exceed $50 gallons per minute. The
bonds now being voted the next prob
lem that confrOnts the council is to
purchase and install a pump of SUI
ficient capacity to meet the demands.
1t is not improbable that similar
pump to the one recently installed
by the city of Leon will be purchas
ed. A new building will be erected
as soon as possible. It is estimated
that the pump may cost about 49,
500 and that the entire expenditure
may not exceed $4,000 though the
bonds voted Tuesday permits an ex-
pense of $16,0O0.00.
The Lingle traction engine is be-
ing set today to take the place of
the one removed by Contractor Shaw
Tuesday. The temporary equipment
is intended to supply water until the
new outfit is installed. When the
water was turned into the mains of
the city Tuesday it met q rousing
reception on the part of the popula-.
ton. All Osceola is rejoicing. It is
great Christmas gift for the city.

Jacob Allen.

Mr.. Jacob Allen, one Of the first
settlers in Decatur county, died at
Cherryvale, Kansas. on December 3,
1913, at the age of Sc years and 2
months. He was born in Knox coun-
ty. Ohio, Oct 3, 1927. In 1S47 he
located in Stark county, Illinois, and
Lawrence county, Ohio. They lived
in Illinois until 1855 when they came
to Decatur county Iowa, and lived
eight years. Then returning to ILL
nois, he enlisted in Co. X, 42nd llli-
nois Volunteers. After the war they
returned to Iowa and here dwelt I'M
til Mrs Aliens death, October %,
1904. He then went to Cherryvale,
Kansas. to live with his son John.
To Mr.. and Mrs. Allen were born
nine children, Of whom three died in
their infancy, and one daughter at
womanhood, namely, Mrs. Chas
Frink. Five children survive the
parents, Mrs. L. J. Frink. of Lamont
and the sons, Thomas and George, of
Lamont, William of near Ridgeway,
Mo-. and John in Kansas. The lat
ter brought his fathers body to La
mOni, arriving on the afternoon train
Sunday, and the journey was made
to the Creveling cemetery where the
body was laid to rest by the side of
his wife. Some old friends gathered
there but the frozen roads and severe
cold wind prevented many others
from going. Elder H. A. Stebbins
conducted the brief service at the
grave. We can add that Mr.. Allen
was held in honor for his upright
ness and integrity during the many
years he lived here.

Iowa Puts Up One Fourth of Worlds
Product of Canned Corn.

III One-fourth of the canned corn
product of the entire world is put up
in Iowa.
This, it is recognized, is indeed a
wonderful achievement and one
which the average lowan has not
realized
Approximately fifty per cent of the
total packed sweet corn of the entire
world comes from the two states OF
Iowa and Illinois. There are other
states farther east, notably New
York, which have a larger acreage
sof sweet corn annually than does
Iowa, but their product is sold most
Nv as roasting ears, while the great
bulk of the sweet corn in Iowa goes
into tins. In fact, the canning in
dustry is distinctively an American
idea and practically the entire out
put of canned corn for the world is
put up in this country.
Some conception of the remark
able growth of this industry in Iowa
is indicated by the fact that the first
canning factory in this state was es--,
