Pheasants Are Spreading.

The Chinese plreasants which were
introduced into this vicinity few
years ago by the Parma Gun Club
have spread until now the whole lower
Boise valley is covered with them.
There is persistent rumor, however,
that these birds are being shot BY
some of the residents of this section.
There is strict law against this and
violators are liable to severe punish
ment.
In addition to its value as a game
bird the pheasant is noted as great
friend OF the farmer. About one-half
pint of harmful insects and their
larvae was found in the stomach of
a China pheasant recently killed for
demonstration purposes in the Oregon
Agricultural College laboratories. At
this rate the bird would have devoured
one bushel of insects in l24 days or
almost three bushels per year-Parma
Herald.

50 car loads of spuds were shipped
from this neck of the woods this sea-

700 bushels, while J. w. Wagner has
a car load of shelled pop corn. The
young orchards just coming into bear
ing have yielded about 500 boxes of
hrst class Jonathans to say nothing
OF other varieties. Last but by no
means least the focks of turkeys
raised by the Industrious housewives,
bring in goodly sum which buys
everything from shirt for the baby

even to look the taxes in the face.

The Community Spirit.

1t takes team play to pull off any
thing, from winning ball game to
running a church. United we stand,
divided we fall"
The same principle is fundamental
in town building. You must help your
neighbor if you expect him to help
you. The fact that another person
lives in your town should be accept
ed as giving him some claim on your
consideration. You are bound tcgeth-
er by the tie OF dominating interest
in common. What helps him will help
you to some extent.
Every home enterprise is your al
ly. Help it on. Don't think that you
can buy goods out Of town right along
and not suffer for it. Your influence
encourages some one else to send
money away. 1t never comes back 1t
helps to build up the other fellows
town.
Fortunately the majority of our peo-
pie believe and understand tins. That
spirit has brought our community to
it's present stage of prosperity. But
there are always good many who
don't comprehend it,. They hurt their
own and strike blow at every inter-
est for which they care, by failing to
back up home enterprises.

ENJOY REST
Rush Of Holiday Season Ended With
Forenoon Delivery on Christmas
Day; Carriers Good Natured
INCREASE IN POSTAL REVENUE
Parcel Post Helps to Boost Business
During Christmas Season-Wa9-
ons Used in Delivery.

The large volume of work done by
the Denison postoffice officials and
clerks was practically completed dur
ing the forenoon of Christmas day,
when the last delivery went out. The
work following Christmas in the ma
ture of holiday mail is a mere trif1e
to the rush of business of the week
preceding Christmas. At 10 O'Clock
Thursday morning, when the last car
rier to start on his route had packed
his sack and started forth, there was
hardly a scrap of mail addressed to
any one residing in Denison to be
seen in the room. Postmaster Wright,
assisted by his assistants, had plan
ned for just such a condition several
weeks in advance. They foresaw the
rush of business that would descend
upon them and made preparations to
handle it satisfactorily. The result
has been gratifying to them. and they
believe that there are few patrons who
have not had occasion to notice the
promptitude with which the mail was
handled.
Mr.. Wright declared Friday that
more than to anyone else credit for
the success should be given the clerks
and carriers who willingly extended
every possible effort to help keep the
mail on the move. Not man uttered
complaint.
The parcel post brought the local
Office considerable extra business and
the increase in revenue is thus large
ly increased.

Congress Adjourned.

Back about September LIST, it was
predicted that the senate would still
be discussing the tariff bill by Christ
mas. At little later it was being said
that the currency bill could not be
passed before March.
Always these predictions of ;ndefin-
lite debate are heard, but congress is
not the dilatory body it used to be
twenty years ago. Pure fibustering,
the making Of fake motions and talk
ing against time are practically gone
by. The business sense of the Ameri-
can people wants action and settle
ment, and prefers some mistakes to in
definite turmoil.
Bills slip through the house quick
ly. but it takes ,abOllt two OF three
months to get measure of first class
importance through the senate. But
the senate never talks longer than
that.
Impatient people always clamor for
hasty action. But two or three weeks
or months makes little difference in
the history of the American people.
congressman come to Washington
without technical knowledge OF big
legislative problems. Measures like
the tariff or currency have needed all
the debate they have had.

The winter Of 1875.1s76

Primghar Bell: This is not the mild
est winter in Iowa within the memory
of anyone now living. The writer
has lived forty winters in O'Brien
county. The winter of 1886 was
milder than this. That winter plow-
ing was done every month in the year.
The farmers sowed wheat in February;
the Writer planted corn in April, and
there was no frost after that. There
was not snow enough to track a rabbit
until March 5, 1876. At no time in
the winter was the frost more than
seven or eight inches deep. There
was no rain but some foggy, misty
weather. 1t was warm enough to
thaw any day in the winter when
the sun shone. At no time did the
thermometer show temperature be-
low zero. Most of the time the tenn
perature was above freezing. These
are facts, we'll remembered.

HELPLESS and
ALONE THREE DAYS
Mrs. J. N. Pratt Of Harlan Passes
Through Terrifying
Experience.
PEOPLE THOUGHT HER AWAY
Mrs. Pratt Had Drawn Blinds Ready
to Leave the City for Holiday
Vacation When Stricken.

Harlan, Iowa., Dec. 26.-Mrs J. NJ.
Pratt of this city laid upon the floor
of her bed chamber for three days
recently, helpless and alone as a re-
suit of a stroke Of paralysis, and her
rescue, more dead than alive. was due
entirely to chance and she might have
died lingering death from exposure
and starvation.
Mrs. Pratt had told her neighbors
and friends that she intended leaving
the city to visit relatives, and when
they saw the blinds in the house all
drawn the neighbors naturally con-
cluded that Mrs. Pratt had gone, and
no one took the trouble to inquire
about her.
One woman who did not know of
Mrs. Pratt's intended visit called at
the Pratt home AS she stood on the
front door waiting for Mrs. Pratt to
admit her she heard noise as if
some one was rapping on the floor.
She listened and finally becoming
alarmed, she called help and door
of the house was forced open when
the shocking discovery of Mrs. Pratt's
unhappy plight was made.
She told her rescuers that she was
stricken with slight stroke just as
she was about to leave the house. She
was lying upon the bed room floor and
had managed to pull the bed clothes
from the bed and about her body in a
manner and she had also secured a
stick with which she pounded the floor
and bed with all her strength at in
tervals. The stick and bed were fray
ed, evidencing the hard fight the un-
fortunate woman had made for her
life. 1t was recalled later by several
persons that they had heard rappings
as they passed the Pratt home but did
not attach any great Importance to it.

January Woman's Home Companion.

One of the most interesting cOntri-
buttons to the January Woman's Home
Companion is an article by Ralph
Waldo Urine entitled "Actualizing
Ones Ideals" in which the author
makes many helpful suggestions
which the individual reader can apply
in the conduct of his own life. He
shows, and shows admirably, how any
human being can acquire happiness
through work. 1t is alright to have
ideals, but true success and content
ment are not achieved unless action
accompanies ideals.

airy Companion are Finding Happi-

LOSES ARM; LIFE ENDANGERED
Nicholas Elias, Of Ute, Skaters Mem
Der in A Hunting Accident and
Is Now Very Low.

Ute, Dec. 29-NichO!as Elias, resid-
ing southwest of town, met with an
accident which caused the loss of his
right arm, and at this time he is in
a very precarious condition.
The young man was out hunting
and was carrying his shot gun with
both triggers raised ready for firing
when he slipped and fell on some ice.
Both barrels of the gun exploded and
the two charges entered his arm at
the elbow. tearing away the joint and
all the arteries and ligaments.
Drs. Stewart and Sherlock were
called and advised amputation at
once. but owing to the father Of the
boy being away from home, the boy
and his mother would not consent to
the operation. The father arrived at
home on Monday and the arm was am
putated, but this delay placed the
wound in a more serious condition and
have resulted which
place the young man in a very dan
gerous condition at this time.

They say the republican party is
dead, but there are whole lot of
people who would rather sit up with
the corpse that has produced such
men as Lincoln, Grant. Garfield, Nc
Kinley, Allison, Dolliver; and, yes,
LaFollette, Kenyon and Had
ley, than go gallivanting across the
country chasing blatant demagogues
who go about bleeding for the people
at so much per bleed-following the
becon lights of socialism, but at the
same time claiming that socialism is
wrong. The pendulum of reason will
change and swing once more to the
side of right and individual effort. The
tongue that muckrakes the patriotic
impulses of the heroes of this country
will one day become palsied and the
honest business man and builder will
get his dues.-Rolf Arrow.

As to Judge Van Wag n.

The argument seems to be that
Judge Van Wagenen has proved in
competent.
Is it not rather remarkable that a
man who had been a lawyer for so
long in northern Iowa, and who was
so well known as to his abilities,
should prove such surprise as to
the administration?
If Judge Van Wagenen is incom-
petent now he was incompetent when
he was appointed, and any reasonable
scrutiny would have disclosed that in
competency.
The Evening Tribune does Judge
Van Wagenen the justice to assume
that something else has happened to
surprise the attorney general besides
the judges short comings as a law
yer.-Des Moines Tribune.

Luxury and Needs,

1t is easy to regulate the high cost
of living if the individual would take
hold of the matter and not leave 1t to
the nation All he has to do is to see
that he doesn't buy more than he
needs, and when he does that he will
lind how low the cost of living is; SO
low, indeed, that he will find he is
able to spend little for the joys, too.
The things that cost person the most
are the things that he can do without.
If everybody would spend only for his
needs and turn the balance to the gov
eminent, there wouldn't be cent of
taxes to pay.

Will: TEACH
auto OWNERS
II Owners Of Autos in Denison and
Crawford Want instructions Ames
College Will Supply.
LEARN TO CARE FOR MACHINE
Any Town in State Can Have a Five.
Day Course Of instruction
for the Asking.

If the automobile owners of Deni-
son and Crawford county want a
course of instruction in the handling
and care of automobiles, they can have
it by asking the authorities of the
Iowa State college at Ames, and it is
possible that such a school will be
held here sometime in the next few
months.
One person out of every thirty-five
citizens in Iowa owns an automobile,
but hardly one out of every thirty-five
owners knows anything more than
what he has learned by bitter expe.
rience about the care, operation and
upkeep of his car, the most valuable
single piece of equipment in his pos.
session. 1t is to this rapidly grow
ing list Of automobile owners in Iowa
that the engineering extension de-
partment of Iowa State college comes
with the good news of an automobile
institute to be conducted for five days
in practically every town in the state
where there is demand for expert
instruction in this field.
BY this move the engineering ex-
tension men at Ames will put Iowa at
the head of every other state in the
union in the attention paid by the
state through it's technical school, to
the interests of automobile owners.
The services of the extension expert
will be available to every community
and it is expected that $4,000 owners
and intending purchasers will be
reached by the Institutes.
r. f. Davis, formerly chief engin-
eer of the Midland Motor company,
with previous connection with the
Packard and Nordyke Marmon COM
panies. has been placed in charge of
the automobile Institutes. The in
stitutes, will not be held to further
private interests, nor will emphasis
be placed on any particular types Of
but instruction will be
given in the principles and operation
Of cars, to enable the owner to do his
own repairing, or to see that it is
done, and to enable him to
look after the proper maintenance and
upkeep of his car.
