Wanted to BE Sure

A MOberly man who had played
the role of the hen-pecked husband
for a number Of years one day met
an agent who was selling book. The
book agent dilated at length on the
beauty and literary merit of the book
but the Moberly man. told him he
was not prepared to buy. But"
he said, there is woman who lives
in the house next to the corner in
the next block who I'm satisfied
wants that book and wants it bad"
The agent fastened to the house and
managed somehow to get inside the
door. In about minute he came
out on the run and in wild jump
from the porch missed all the front
steps and lit on the sidewalk run
ming. The hen-pecked husband had
been an interested spectator from
the outside. When he saw the Mob
erly citizen the agent stopped and
with some heat said: Say, that wo-
man you recommended me to is the
worst hellcat Fever saw" "Sure
about that are you?" said the Mober-
ly man. Sure? Well / should say
am sure" said the agent as he rub
bed the place on his head that had
been hit with the broomstick. "Sort
of glad to hear you say so,'' said the
Moberly man. after twenty-five
years experience with her I'd about
come to that conclusion myself, but
l didn't want to be hasty about form
in an opinion till had the judgment
of some unprejudiced witness. -

#. T. Stephens.

Thomas Upton Stephens was born
in Green Castle, Ind, April IA, 1853
and departed this life in the after
noon Of July ID, 1913, being 60 years
and 3 months old. Some time ago
he suffered stroke of paralysis and
since that time his life had been de-
come relief for his physical torment
and pain. All that kind and loving
hands could do to spare and save
him was done, but it was not to be
that he should survive.
Mr.. Stephens early life was spent
in and around his Indiana home, he
coming west to Iowa when he was
10 years old, he then settling near
Decatur City. After short residence
near that place he moved to the i'm
mediate vicinity of Davis City and
has since been actively identified
with the affairs of this locality. For
most of his life until recently he was
engaged in farming.
On the 18th day of September,
1879, he was united in marriage to
Sarah Margaret Burrell and to this
union was born seven children, two
sons and five daughters, the sons
dying in infancy, and one daughter,
Mrs. Ella Cummings, having passed
away but scant fortnight ago. The
four daughters surviving are Mrs
Rosa Cox, Mrs. Addie Bailey, Mrs.
Hattie Ordway and Mrs. Florence
Knapp, who, with the grief-stricken
mother and large concourse of
relatives and friends, are left to
mourn his untimely death.
He was a good citizen, an affec-
tionate husband and father and his
loss will be deeply felt.
The funeral services were held
from the M. e. church on Tuesday
afternoon of this week, the services
in charge of the pastor. The body
was laid to rest in the Odd Fellows
cemetery.

Mrs. w. j. Latta.

Hattie Robbins was born in Deca-
tur county, Iowa, Oct %, 1868, and
died at the Des Moines hospital, July
9Th, 1913, aged "A years, months
and 16 days. .e-
April 18th, 1890, she was united
in marriage to Warren Latta, and to
this union were born IL children,
five of whom have preceded her to
the great beyond. To mourn her
loss she leaves a husband, four sons
and three daughters, also her father
three sisters and four brothers, be-
sides large number of friends and
neighbors.
She was great sufferer for some
months, but bore her affection with
great resignation.
Services were conducted by Henry
Reed, Thursday afternoon. Inter-
ment in the old cemetery at Davis
City.

Can You Unwind This Legal Ball?

GA peculiar lawsuit was tried be-
fore Squire George Hopkins in this
place last Saturday. Some months
ago Charley Korn sold horse to
Seasholtz & Scheller and they gave
their check on the Kellerton, Iowa,
bank. Mr. Korn went to the First
National bank and endorsed the
check and received the money. Mean
while Mr.. Seasholtz discovered an al
legged defect in the horse and notified
the Kellerton bank not to pay the
check. However, the check had been
paid. Scheller asserts that korn as
sured him that the horse was sound.
korn asserts that he did not so repre-
sent the horse. That Scheller being
a horse buyer he sold him the horse
ION sight" letting him be the judge
of what he was buying. Scheller
left the horse in Bankers barn and
as Mr.. Korn had the money he refus-
ed to take the horse back. Barker
finally sued for feed and keep of the
horse and secured judgment. After
due notice the horse was sold and
Barkers claim satisfied. The surplus
presumably in the hands of the con-
stable ready to be turned over to the
rightful owner if it can be determin-
ed who he is. The First National
bank sued Korn for the amount of
the check and the case was tried by
a jury and verdict rendered in
favor of Korn. Now the suit goes to
circuit court on appeal. Grant

Why Not Try 1t In Iowa?

Two good things for Iowa are be-
ing eglected-apples and alfalfa.
Not entirely neglected but the or
chard is receiving small attention
and alfalfa less. And we are told
that both crops may be made ex-
tremely valuable to the state
Certain sections of Iowa, notably
southwestern, are raising apples
which compete as to quality, guam
tity and price with the apples import
ed into the state from the highly ad-
vertised regions. The fact seems to
be that an Iowa orchard is a winner
if it is given anything like the atten-
ton that the orchardist of the tout
ed valleys in the west and the hill
sides of the east bestows.
1t is not hard life, that of an
orchardist. Indeed it is, an easy task
compared with the conduct of gener-
al farming. Why do not more Iowans
with the fruit fever take up apples
in Iowa instead of taking chances on
the florid representations of foreign
promoters of orchard. lands? A fail
ure in Iowa wouldn't mean entire
loss. The land is worth good money
to raise other crops on.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1913-07-24
No, 1t Doesn't Pay.

Some Of the newspapers in the
smaller cities are discussing the ques.
ton, Does celebrating pay?" The
Shenandoah World from the stand
point of long experience in celebrat-
ing inclines to the negative belief. 1t
can "see but little to be gained by
it,"
From the commercial standpoint,
it is of course always a losing propo-
sition, although this can not be tax
en- as a criterion to judge it by. But
judged by any other standard there
is room for doubt that for the many
hundreds of dollars other towns
spent yesterday, they did or will re-
ceive in return all the possible divi-
dends on their money.
1t is the most uncomfortable time
of the year. 1t is the busiest time
of the year for the farmer. People
aren't as crazy over pink lemonade
and few fireworks in the evening
as they used to be; if they go at all
they want to get away from the heat
and racket-not to get into it. Most
of them prefer quiet day at home
and don't go.
That is the conclusion toward
which almost every community is
coming The tendency is to get away
from a rough-neck holiday of noise,
license and danger. So far as returns
from celebration there is nothing
in it. The average merchant long
ago found that out. He is disinclined
to chip in for noise and firew orks
and the general hurrah of the old
fashioned Fourth. 1t doesn't come
back to him. He is much more in
clined to buy county fair stock, plan
bargain days, offer opportunity and
quiet amusement rather than noise
and riot to draw a crowd"
The rip roaring, frantic Fourth is
on it's way. There never was any
good reason for it. There is no eX-
cuse for it now. This country has
reached a point of civilization where
it can hold holiday without going
crazy.

The graduer of the Rockies
And the castle-guarded Rhine;
But for me the rolling prairies
Where the vagrant zephyrs play

The oceans spray is balm they say

The sunny south, in winter time,
Makes languid pulses thrill;
But for me the upland hillsides
Where the winter winds hold sway,
And snow drifts bridge the valleys
In dear old Iowa.
You may sing about the lotus bloom,
Where the tropic waters dance,
Or lilies fair beyond compare
In wales of sunny France;
But for me a field of clover
Where the shattered sunbeams gay
Caress the sea of tangled bloom
In dear old Iowa.
The fertile valley of the Nile

Across it's sands of gold;
But for beauty, find the valley
Where the Wapsie winds it's way,

A New Theory of Sleep.

That we sleep, not because we are
exhausted, but in order to avoid be-
ing exhausted, is the way in which
the Geneva Psychologist, Claparede,
formulates new theory. According
to his conception, which has been
further elaborated by Tromner, sleep
is not the result of fatigue, but an
impulsive self-disinfection process,
which the body from time to time
conducts against itself, so to speak,
in order to get rid of waste products
before they have a chance to become
injurious. This view is expounded
in an article by DR.. Adolph Koelsch
in ode Woche.
He draws attention to the fact that
just as combustion of fuel for the
production of heat and energy is al
ways attended by ashes and Stag, so
the slow combustion which produces
heat and energy in the body by
means of metabolic changes, is like
wise attended by waste.
We read: "Since the senses never
come to rest voluntarily or shut
themselves off from the outer world,
a point would be eventually reached
when the organism would perish as a
victim of general nerve exhaustion.
''In order to hinder this, Nature
arranges betimes, i. e., before ex-
haustion can seriously injure the Or
ganism, to set in motion that opposi-
ton current which we term Sleep
Again, '"The sight-endowed ami
mails tends to take it's sleep at night,
since the stimuli which govern the
animals vital activities are then cut
off,
For animals endowed with other
specials senses, but not with sight,
the night is not so great a factor.
"These can only blockade stimuli to
the senses either by creeping into
some secluded spot or by the action
of nature in causing an opportune
production of substance sort of
harmony-Which acts as an obstacle
by entering the nerve path and dead;
ening sensibility. There are numer-,
Gus indications that the latter is
what actually takes place."
1t is believed that sufficient de-
gree of sanitation is one of the influ-
ences which create such an obstruc-
ton, but the whole subject is still in
need of extended investigation.
Koelsch has also studied insects with
confirmatory results.-S c i n i fl c

The House That You Built.

The Reporter has always fought
the big mail order houses, and for
the small dealer who is the mercan-
tile backbone of the country. 1t can
not but commend to all it's readers
the following from the Richmond
Conservator. 1t says:
In one of the farm papers this
week is a full page advertisement of
a big mail order house, embellished
with a cut of the building occupied
in Chicago by the firm, and under
meath, in glaring type, are the words:
do the farmers of Missouri like that ?
Are they proud of the fact that they
have rolled enough money into the
Golfers of this Chicago concern to en-
able it to erect one of the largest
business structures in the windy city,
while their home merchants have
struggled in small quarters to &C
commodate them? Look at the mat
ter from a sensible standpoint, and
then resolve that the next business
building you help to erect shall be
in your own neighborhood and for
your neighbors and friends.
How many dozen eggs did the Chi
cago concern buy from Ray county
farmers last year? Did it make a
single subscription to Ray county
church, or donate a cent for a Ray
county family whose home had been
destroyed by fire? Did it pay a cent
in taxes to keep the schools of Ray
county going? Did it offer a word
of sympathy or tender aid when sick
ness visited the families of their Ray
county customers? Was it here with
the sympathetic tear when death
claimed it's toll from your family?
Your home merchant has done all
of this, and in addition has helped
you to bear the burden of taxation.
He has accommodated you with
credit when your crops or stock had
not yet been marketed. He has TAX
en- you by the hand on your visit to
town and given you welcome to his
place of business whether you want
ed to buy of MIN or not. He has sold
you better merchandise than you
could buy from the Chicago mail or
der house, and has not asked you to
pay for it in advance. He did not re-
quire you to pay freight or express
charges on your purchases. He did
not insult you by boldly telling you
that no attention whatever would be
paid to your order unless it was ac-
tompanied by the cash. He has Gput
his name to every subscription paper
presented and been glad of the OPP
portunity to aid you and your neigh
lors in your time of trouble.
Think of these things the next
time you are tempted to patronize
the mail order house which boasts
that YOU helped to erect their mag
nificent business building, in which
hundreds of half-clad and half-starv-
ed women and girls are working for
the miserable plttances of 81 to Sc
per week. Think of what benefit to
you and your neighbors and your
county at large would be the money
you spend with this firm which bold
ly informs you that YOU erected for
them this splendid new home.
After you have read the above go
and throw your Shears Sawbuck &
Co. catalogue and your Mongomer-
wardandco catalogue in the fire and
help yourself, your community and
your state by patronizing home in
dustries and home merchants.
