POOR ARE GIVEN
ASSISTANCE
OVERSEER VAN FOSSAN AND CiTI.
ZENS ARE ALTERNATING
SUFFERING.

The needy poor of the city are find
ing that their neighbors of more means
are not backward about aiding In the
good work of alleviating suffering
Since last Saturday, when two Courier
representatives hunted up several fam.
lilies that needed assistance, several
calls for provisions and fuel have been
made to the junior department., to the
Open Door mission and to w. P. Van
Fossan, the overseer of the poor, in
the court house. The families on
West Mechanic street and in Central
addition have been relieved, as we'll as
a family in East Ottumwa and one in
South Ottumwa. Supt. Montanus of
the mission, reports that the family
burned out last Saturday, has been so
we'll fitted out as ITO enable return
to housekeeping.
The Juniors and others who desire
to aid in this good work are asked to
communicate with the editor Of the
junior department.
Overseer Van Fossan stated this
morning that between fifty and sixty
families are receiving aid from the
county and state. The sum of $4,000
Is allowed to buy provisions, and fuel
and clothing in some cases comes out
of this allowance. Mr.. Van Fossan
says that only half the number are
paupers who depend on the county all
the year round. The remaining one
half are families who are temporarily
without funds or incapacitated by in

USE THORNS TO
CONVEY TONES

Council Bluffs, Feb. 6.-Some one in
Council Bluffs discovered that thorns
are the best needles for talking ma
chimes that can be procured. When
used upon the records they produce
far softer tones than any steel or pine
needle, and are less destructive.
When first used here the needles did
not command any price, but the music
stores began buying them, and now
they are sold for more than the steel
or fibre needle. Boys and girls are en-
gagged in securing the country for
black haw thorn trees.

FEDERAL AID

TALLY ASSIST IN ADVlS.
DRY WORK IN IOWA.

Ames, Feb. 6.-Dean Charles r.
| Curtiss, Of Iowa State college, brings
| back word from Washington that the
| prospect is good for getting financial
aid for county agricultural advisers
in half Of the counties of the state
| within the next several years.
I'm a conference with the depart
ment of agriculture" said Dean Cur
| tlss, Il was told that the government
would probably be in position to
extend aid in Iowa as rapidly as the
counties are organized and ready to
ask for it. If our own state legisla-
ture gives the appropriations that
have been asked for to help organize
and supervise this county work, l be-
lteve that the next few years will see
advisers in half the counties in Iowa."
In Washington much interest is
shown in the new movement in Iowa.
There Is especial approval of the
manner in which the work has been
linked up with the college as we'll
as the United States department of
agriculture. w. J. Spillman, who has
charge Of the adviser movement for
the federal government, expressed
himself as especially pleased with the
tol4CSS SciGCllOl VI JOAlA SONCludIC
as supervisor.
Dean Curtiss heard the closing sen.
ate debate on the Page bill, which
passed that body last week. 1T is
quite certain that this congress will
pass some measure giving larger aid
to the land grant colleges for extern
sion work, not only for agriculture
and home economics, but for indus
trial or trades extension as WELL" he
said. "The house has passed the
Lever bill already and committees
from the two houses are comforting
to agree upon recommendations 1t
will be remembered that the Page
bill grants federal aid, not only for
extension work out Of the land grant
colleges, but also for instruction in
agriculture, home economics and the
trades and industries in public
schools, district agricultural high
schools and normal training schools
for teachers. The Lever bill pro-
vides only for extension work. think
that the compromise measure will
include some of the features of the
Page bill. That bill is, the most COM
prehensive educational measure that |
has been before congress since the |
Morrill, bill of 1862. 1t provides for |
annual support of S12,000,000 to be- |
gin with, and finally $25,000,000. That
measure would give Iowa State col |
lege very liberal additions to its
present federal aid"

agent bringing out of the past a Sc

from haunting deeds was imperative;
unlovely specters must be made to

Fran had lost the insolent compos-

Now that she was alone with Hamil7
ton Gregory, 1t seemed impossible to
speak. She clasped and unclasped her
hands. She opened her mouth, but
her lips were dry. The wind had
risen, and as it went moaning past
the window, 1t seemed to speak of the
yearning of years passing in the night,
unsatisfied. At last came the words,
mufied, frightened-"I know all about
it."
"All about what, child?" He had
lost his harshness. His voice was al
most coaxing. as If %entreating the
mercy of ignorance.
