Cigarettes And The Boy.

If any boy of the opinion that ne

that if he is a confirmed cigarette
smoker and has been one since Delore

indulge in cigarettes to a reasonable
extent and retain his health ana IA

Thirty EARS TO THE STALK.
Luther Bnrhank Also Promises Corn
Stalks Sixteen Feet High.

Luther Burbank, the plant wizard
who has improved the quality and
quantity of more than a thousand
fruits and vegetables, has turned
his attention to corn and Iowa farm
ers are apt to profit measurably from
his work Investigation has shown
Burbank that one kernel of corn
added to each ear means five mil
lion crop increase. In the best corn
growing states corn grows from
eight to ten feet high and yields
slightly fewer than two ears to each
stalk of corn. Mr.. Burbank is eX-
perimenting on his Santa Rosa farm
and has grown corn sixteen feet in
height with thirty-two ears to the
stalk. The accomplishments of Wiz
ard Burbank are matters of record
in other fields of investigation of
plant life so that reports of his abili-
ty to grow immense stalks OF corn
with marvellous ears of grain on
them will be received with credence.
And when the new corn makes its
appearance on the Iowa farm the
present high price of land will seem
like a joke An ordinary town lot
will be too valuable for building
purposes.

Lured Here From Germany.

Henry Haevdel, a young German
26 years old, was taken from the
hospital to the Poor Farm Tuesday.
Three weeks ago, while attempting
to board a freight train at North NC
Gregor to so TO the Dokota wheat
fields, he was thrown and injured his
right ankle seriously. He was
brought to the hospital and has been
there since. The young man has on
" been in this country short time
and can speak no English. He left
a good position in Germany, accord
ing to his story, to come to America
because a good friend over here urg-
ed him to do so. Since landing in
New, York he has been working about
from place to place, hunting for the
friend but has failed to find him.
Some time ago he landed in North
McGregor with no money. Hearing
of the call for harvest hands in the
Dakotas, he attempted to steal a
ride. AS the railroad was in no way
responsible for his accident, the
county has been paying for the mans
care at the hospital. He will be kept
at the Poor Farm until able to 60
to work.-McGrego Times.

OVERHEATING KILLS CATTLE.
Farmers Lose Herds From Effects
of Intense Heat.

The extreme heat of the past week
has been hard on cattle out in pas
ture without plenty OF water and
shade. The Riceviile Recorder re-
lates a case where thirty-two head
belonging to Mr.. Ludwick and Mr..
Frederick in the Charles Patten
neighborhood near that place died
of sunstroke last Saturday. They
were in adjoining pastures but had
punched together with the fence be-
tween. Every animal in the two
herds dropped dead. Two good
COWS belonging to John McGourty
died from a like cause on the preVl-
Gus Tuesday.
On Saturday o. NJ. Eicher east OF
Riceville lost a horse. He had just
driven home from Riceville and the
horse was over-heated.
Asa Godell living near Nashua,
according to the Reporter. lost three
head of cattle from the tremendous
heat of Saturday. Before coming
20 town in the afternoon, Mr.. Good
ell noticed them standing near the
barn on the south side, terrible
hot place, and drove them out into
the field where the air could get at
them and where the temperature
was lower. Nevertheless when he
returned from town he tound them
dc ad near where he left them. he
valued the three at about Sl2o. one
of the animals was registered Dur

FEDERAL INSPECTION.
Insurance Commissioner j. A. o.
Preus Proposes Federal Inspec-
ton OF Insurance Com
panies.

st. Paul, Aug. 25.-Insurance
Commissioner J. A. o. Preus in an
address before the American Life
convention proposed a plan making
possible federal inspection of insur-
ance companies. Mr.. Preus, after
pointing out that there had been
long, continued agitation for Fed
eral control of life insurance, said
that under the decisions of the
courts it is impossible for the Fed
eral government to provide for the
incorporation of what might be
termed Federal insurance compa-
MES.
Mr.. Preus' plan, which he
thought might solve the problem OF
doing away with the examination OF
companies by each of the different
states, provided for the passage OF
a model insurance code for the
District of Columbia. He said, II
this were done, state legislatures
might be willing to provide by law
that any insurance company which
qualities under the laws of the
District of Columbia, being subject
to- periodical examinations in that
district, might be exempt from COM
plying with the laws of the given
state and thus come without the SUI
pervision OF any state department.

TREATMENT FOR CONSERVATIVES
Victims of tuberculosis Who Are I'm
able To Care For Themselves
Should Make Application
To Officials For SAM
forum Assist
anCe.

Des Moines, Aug. 25.-It does not
appear to be generally understood
that the last legislature made ade-
quate provision for the care of all
cases of tuberculosis in every coun-
ty in Iowa. If the person is unable
to pay for sanitorium treatment the
law provides that county supervis-
ors shall make provision for his care.
This law was passed for the pur-
pose of caring for class of indivi-
duals who cannot provide for them
selves. 1t has nothing to do with
the Poor Law indeed, there Is no
reference in any manner to this class
of persons as coming under laws re-
lating to the poor. 1t is we'll known
that persons suffering with tuDercu-
losis are generally the most ambi-
tious, energetic and efficient citizens
who are rendered INDECENT by their
disease. However, persons depen-
dent upon their daily wages cannot
pay for sanatorium treatment. yet
sanatorium treatment is necessary
for the proper care of these individ-
uals in order that their disease may
not be communicated to those about
them. Therefore boards of supervis-
ors are authorized TO eXpend SIS a
week for any length of time in prop
erly caring for these unfortunate
persons. Consumptives who are I'M
able to properly care for themselves
should make immediate application
to the supervisors of the county for
sanatorium treatment. The super
visors may provide facilities within
the county itself or arrange with in
situations all ready being operated
for this purpose.
The State Department of Tuber-
culosis will be glad to supply all
needed information TO those who
may apply. For information, ad-
dress A. E. Kepford, Department of
tuberculosis.

Scrutinizing Purchases.

One of the things that strikes
man when he is cajoled to go on
shopping excursion with MS wire, Il
the extreme care with which women
examine the fabrics of the articles
they buy. The average woman is an
excellent Judge of the value OF tex
tile products.
This tends toward good puyins
and wise use of household FUNDS ~
Is singular, then, that so many peopie
are persuaded by the handsomely IL

alloys to buy goods on faith without
examination. o,
Some women will visit several
stores to find the best bargain TO PC

Natural Water Flower Beds.

McGregor, Ia, Aug. 25.-In the
quiet waters of the sloughs and
lakes of the Mississippi along the
shores of Iowa and Wisconsin stretch
with wondrous beauty in the late
summer what are probably the lar
gest natural water flower beds in the
United States. The exquisite, sweet
scented white water lilies known To-
cally as pond lilies" bloom side by
side with the more pretentions
though less delicate yellow lotus
flowers. In the early morning the
great beds many acres in extent are
most beautiful and sunrise lily par
ties are a popular pastime.

who let the pup get out of his sight
long enough on the 4th for Mat Bovd
TO get him in his possession. Sam
Wen! to Mat and claimed the doc
Mat did not return the dog to him,
saying that so-and-so gave it to him.
Sam lett to get witnesses to prove
that he was the rightful owner. ara
While he was gone Mat gave the dog
to Hubert Case, young electrician
of this city, who in turn. sold
Roundup to the chief of police H.
c. Brownfield. who paid Case s. for
the dog, which he intended to use in
driving stray cattle and hogs to the
city pound.
Sam Dial learned of the deal and
carried the matter before Squire
Kaufman and replevined the dog.
Chief of Police Brownfield prayed
an appeal to the circuit court, which
was granted. Both parties are now
determined to hold out to the last if
il necessitates carrying the matter 10
the supreme court, which now seems
very likely. The case has already
cost large sum of money, Chief of
Police Brownfield says he will insti-
tute suit against ia. for 81 day

ing Roundup" in driving lM-e stock
to the City Pound; he further states
that he had trained the dog aso mad
him so he was very valuable in his
business. He claims he was an in
nocent purchaser and that Dial had
given him away to keep from paying
the dog tax.
