land anu that was described by the
judge as an instance of wife-buying,
which it certainly was. Mr.. Morand
asked for a divorce from his wife on
the ground that the lady had given
the most unmistakable proofs of her
preference for a multimillionaire
named Captain Morrison. In a way it
was a friendly suit, since Captain
Morrison was willing to pay $27,50O
damages and Morand was willing to
receive that sum. They we're both in
agreement as to the value of the lady,
and the judge concurring, the divorce
was granted and the transaction com
pleted.
OF course, the story Is a rather dis
gusting one, but we are disguised not
because Captain Morrison bought a
woman, but because he bought a
woman who was already a wife. There
is nothing remarkable about the pur.
chase Of a woman, since it is done
every day. Sometimes it is the man
who offers to sell. The various asso-

CROPS IN JAPAN ARE SMALL.
American Farmers Could Not Live On
Such scanty Returns for His
Seed and Work.

Japan Is such a. mountainous coun-
try that the area of arabic land is
quite disproportionate to the size Of
the whole empire. 1t is alleged that
barely 12 per cent Of the entire sur
face can be cultivated, and that even
the c%ultivable part is not naturally
very fertile. Still there are large
tracts Of wild moorland which might
easily be brought under cultivation, or
at least be converted into grazing
lands.
Where the farmer lives and labors
there r abundant evidences of his
diligence and s~elf-sacrifce. Doubtless
the major part Of the farming land is
lean soil. Still the judicious use Of
fertilizers-mostly night soil applied
In small quantities direct, to the grow
ing plant; the elaborate and skilful
system Of irrigation that gets full
value from every drop of water; the
laborious subsoil working-by hand in
the soft ooze of the rice felds-and
the incisive wedding out to. produce
better results in quantity than they
do. When the harvest is measured oy
bushels Of rice, or wheat, or barley or
whatever else the hyakusho (farmer)
may raise, the thorough husbandman
of Europe or America would laugh at
the scanty crop. Land that ought to
yield at least twenty-five to thirty
bushels OF rice to the acre actually
gives less than ten on the average.--

Aviation Inspires an Opera,

Aviation the most up-to-date branch
OF science has excelled all other mod.
Embellishments in that it has in.
spired grand opera. This, however. is
not surprising for a classic theme lay
to the hands of libertist and COM
poser in the Greek tragic story Of
Icarus, who was killed while attempt
ing a flight, and it is on this ancient
legend that the aviation opera. which
was produced at Nice recently, was
based. The author Of; the libretto. M.
Henri Cain, shows Icarus in the cen
ter Of the maze constructed by his
father, Daedalus. Despising the
allurements of nymphs and naiads,
the youth makes a pair Of wings with
the feathers Of an eagle and tries to
fly from the top of a cliff. In the final
scene, in which Icarus dies from his
fall. the genius Of science pea
and In a vision shows him the final
conquest of the air.
To show how the opera is identified
with modern aviation it may be added
that the music was composed by M.

CATARRH OF
The PHARYNX.

Clearing out your throat every day,
all day. That is what you have been
doing for months. Possibly years. A
little mucus covers the pharynx
If you were to go to a doctor he
would tell you that you have phar-
yngitis. If you were to look into
your own throat you would find just
back of the soft palate a red, lumpy,
granular appearance of the back part
of the throat. Pharyngitis the doc
tors call it.
Perhaps he would call 1t, folicular
pharyngitis. 1t causes you constant
annoyance. You are always making
slight disturbances when seated in an
audience. Can't hold your throat
still. Stringy mucus bothers you.
Worse i'm the morning.
A-hem! A-hem! A-hem! That is
the way you are going nearly all day.
Sometimes i'm the night when you
wake up. You ought to gargle your
throat with salt water every morn
ing. Cold salt water. That clears
out the throat perfectly and makes it
ready for treatment.
Peruna is the treatment. Begin
with a teaspoonful before each meal
and at bedtime. Try 1t for a week.
You will be convinced. or course.
Peruna will not entirely relieve you
In a week. That is too much to ex-
pect of any remedy. But 1t will bene-
fit you so much you will be con-
WINGED. Yes, 1t will. 1t has done
this many times.
Folicular pharyngitis. Big words.
Almost as bad as the disease. But II
you take Peruna for one month reg
ularly, you may forget that you ever
had such a disease. Then you will
have a perfect right to forget the big
words too.
People who object to liquid medi-
cines can now obtain Peruna Tablets.

LAWLER ROBBERS CAUGHT.
Sheriffs of Three Counties Round
up the Three Burglars Near
Spillville.

The three men who broke into
the Ayers Lumber Co. Office at
Lawler last Tuesday evening were
captured the next morning between
Spillville and Conover. Sheriff
Fleming and Deputy Morrison were
called last Tuesday night at mid
night and left at one o'clock We'd
nesday morning with a livery team
for Ridgeway. The sheriff held
the morning train there long enough
to go through it, but the burglars
were not on it. They then struck
out in the vicinity of Protivin and
worked south towards Spillville.
Sheriff Russell of New Hampton was
also down in that vicinity with an
automobile, and also the sheriff OF
Howard county. The sheriffs scour-
ed the country we'll and came upon
their men Wednesday forenoon
walking in the country near Spill
Vile. AS soon as the robbers were
overtaken they began to throw
away their revolvers and burglar
tools. They offered no resistance
and were taken to Calmar and
lodged in Jail, and were taken to
New Hampton on the afternoon
train by Sheriff Russell. They had
about $210 on them when captured.
Bloodhounds were brought from
Dyersville on the early morning
train Wednesday but the dogs were
unable to strike a scent, owing to
the fact of too many people having
entered the lumber Office after the
robbery. The sheriffs are entitled
to great credit for the quick cap
ture of these bad men, and the as
sistance rendered by Sheriff Flem-
ing in capturing the robbers, was of
great importance to the Chickasaw
sheriff, for which of course he was
very greatful in being able to get
his men so quick.
he men capt uIeu are uSSSlipSu do
follows: Charles Taylor, aged 40,
weight 90 pounds; Walter Muir
ply, age 81, weight 1885, and Harry
Gratemat, age "a, weight 1870.
The crime was unusually smooth
and daring. The strange men were
noticed in a saloon in Lawler in the
afternoon having arrived on train
from the west, and at seven in the
evening, just after the closing of all
the stores, the safe of the Ayers
Lumber Co., located on the most
prominent corner of the town, was
blown and the strong box removed.
Later the box and the inclosed pa
pers were found west of town, near
the track. The robbers gained en-
trance to the building by saving a
panel out of the back door and
reaching in and unlocking the door
with its own key.

MORE CHICKEN PRIZES.
Local Fanciers Win Prizes at Du-
buque and WinOna Chicken
Shows.

DEBORAH chickens are still win
ming prizes at the different poultry
shows where they have been exhib-
tied. The latest winners are Rhode
Island Reds showed by Martin
Christopher and l.. o. Reed at the
Winona and Dubuque poultry shows.
At Winona, Christopher got first
and third pullet, and at Dubuque
Reed got fourth cock, fifth cockrel,
fifth pullet, third pen and a silver
cup for the best ten. The prizes
won by the local fanciers show that
DEBORAH chickens are right up in the
front row with the best of them.
Now that we have been telling our
readers about so many prize win
ming chickens in DEBORAH, it will be
we'll for all to make plans to at
tend the Winneshiek County Poul-
try Associations show which will
be held here at Marsh's hall Jan 9TH
to 9th. The present high price of
eggs should be a sufficient reminder
for all to attend and see these prize
winning birds.
All eggs are valuable at the pres
ent time, even if they are not all laid
by fancy chickens. Strickly fresh
eggs are selling throughout the
country for from thirty to seventy
five cents a dozen while the cold
storage hen fruit sells little cheap
er.
Eggs have taken such a jump dur
ing the past five years that they are
now in the class of high-priced
foods and no drop in the market is
apparent as yet even though house
wives are organizing leagues for the
purpose of boycctting the dealers in
order to bring ABOUT a reduction in
prices.
An investigation was recently car
ried on by officials of the depart
meIt of justice, who have reached
the conclusion that a nationwide
cold storage trrst does not exist.
1t appears to be the general opin-
ion, however, that the high price of
eggs Is due to The buying up of
thousands of cases by cold storage
men, thus diminishing the market
supply.
Just to show how valuable eggs
really are was demonstrated at the
Dubuque poultry show where Mr..
Reed exhibited last week. A news
paper reporter asked the following
questions of an exhibor.
do any of these chickens lay any
eggs while the show is in progress?"
"Once in a while we find an egg
he replied.
What do you do with them?"
asked the reporter.
well, sometimes they are given
to friend of the owner of the
chicken that laid the egg and some
times they are broken
What's the idea in breaking an
egg, which must be valuable if laid
by prize hen?"
Because some one might obtain
possession of it and raise chicken
that will win a blue ribbon and some
cash. The eggs are too valuable to
come into the possession of any one
else
The chicken industry is becoming
one of the largest in the country,
and the showing which will be made
here will be well worth the time
spent to see it. Nine handsome sill
yer loving cups, besides hundreds
of other fine prizes, given by our To-
