the ninth st. Olaf came nearest to

when Stevens singled, and Undum

Then Stenerson forced him out at
second with hit that left himself
safe at first, had he not overrun the

thrown to third without being seen

INVESTIGATION OF CROPS.
Department of Agricultural Exten.
sion Will Conduct a Farm Tour
Here in June.

During their visit in this commu-
nifty, announced in previous issues,
the Department of Agricultural Ex-
tension at Ames will include the
study of the condition of the corn,
oats, wheat, rye, barley, and potato
fields, also hay lands and pastures.
The value of careful selection of
seed corn and the per cent of stand
obtained where tested seed was COM
pared with untested will be noted
The depth of planting will also be
studied.
The study of oats will cover the
variety used, the amount of seed us
ed per acre, the uniformity of the
stand by drilling compared with
broadcasting, and the value of the
use of the tanning mill
Winter seeding of wheat will be
compared with the spring varieties
and the methods of putting in the
crop will be studied. The potato
crop will be taken up in detail from
the standpoint of the varieties and
treatment for scab.
A special study will be made of
the meadows; timothy, alsike and
red clover, and a mixture of the
three; also alfalfa and sweet clover.
The methods of seeding and the
number of years each field is kept in
hay will be noted.
The pasture problem will receive
careful attention from the stand
point of the permanency and the
kind of grasses used.
Another very exhaustive investi-
CATION will cover the soil problem
the methods of rotation and their
effect on the humus content and fer
tility of the soil. The acidity and
need of correctives will be noted
and at the evening meeting sugges
tions for the improvement of the
soils will be made.
The following list gives the order
in which the various tours in the
state will be conducted. They will
be made by automobile.

Here's a suggestion: Next time
you hear anybody kicking about a
law violation or about the need OF
any public Improvement, edge up
and hear what he says. Then find
out if he buys anything on Sundays;
find out If he throws garbage or
manure filth in the alley at his home !;
find out If he ever exceeds the
speed limit; find out If he always
cuts his weeds and keeps his premis-
es free from noxious growths; find
out If he ever swears, or gets by
with loud talk upon the streets; find
out how much and how many times
he has evaded his proper property
taxation; find out il he gives in his
land, lots and money, at the actual
and real value thereof, as the law
requires If you find that he Is

Over in Ossian recently a good
woman arranged a little surprise for
her husband, prominent deacon in
one of the churches. The occasion
was his birthday and the minister
and twenty members of the congre-
cation had been invited to partici-
pate in the affair. AS previously ar
ranged the Deacon was called down
town at the appointed hour and dur
ing his absence the guests assembled.
Then they turned out the lights and
kept as still as mice intending to
greet him with shout when he ap-
peared and struck light. He came
in at schedule time and was feeling
his way along the dark hall when
his shins came violently in contact
with piece of furniture. Wow"
he yelled, I'D like to know who in
hi and d. nation left that

CIRCUS IS ENJOYED
BY LARGE CROWp
GOllmar Bros Show Gives Good
Satisfaction With Single PerfOr-
nance.
NEGRO BALL GAME AND
CIRCUS PARADE BOTH AMUSE
In Spite of Inclement Weather Four
Thousand People See One of the
Best Shows Ever i'm DecOrah.

The circus has come and gone,
and has left nothing but favorable
impressions with everyone. Coll
mar Bros. have a good, clean, up-to-
date circus, complete in every de-
partment, and the entertainment
they offer has much to commend
and little to criticise.
They came in on Sunday morning,
arriving from West Union about
nine O'Clock, and of course large
crowd of people were out to see
them unload, and the tents erected
on the Bratfos field, northwest OF
the Milwaukee passenger station.
Sunday was hardly a day of rest for
the circus people as they had been
through two tornadoes the week
before, and the day was spent in
making needed repairs to tents, poles
and equipment.
In the afternoon, however, the
negroes with the show "chose up
and put up an exhibition of base ball
that kept the big crowd that gath
cred about in an uproar of laughter
for two hours. 1t was as good as
the circus itself, everybody said.
The jollity of the "coons," their
southern dialect, and their utter dis
regard of the ethics of the game
made it the more funny. 1t was the
best "side--show' ever pulled off in
Decorah.
The parade at 1890 O'Clock Mon
day morning was witnessed by a
large crowd of people, including the
school children. 1t was an extern
sive and elaborate spectacular repre-
sentation of the sort usual given
by circuses, of much better quality
and character than ordinary, and
delighted everyone.
The circus in the afternoon drew
crowd of four thousand people,
despite the rain which started short
ly after noon and continued through
out the day. The performance was
strictly high class in every respect.
The acting was splendid, the aerial
performers being especially clever.
The clowns, perhaps score OF
them, were unusually funny, and the
performing horses and animals were
better than usually seen, particular
| ly the elephants and lions. Two
black bears escaped while being
transferred from the wagon to the
performing cage, and caused con-
siderable fright among the crowd
but there was no panic, and after
chasing them about the tent for sew
eral minutes they were captured out
side, up tree, without injurine any
one or damaging anything.
On account of the long continued
rain, and the consequent. softness o!
the ground, as we'll as the difficult
run over the Rock Island to Oelweir
for yesterday, no night show wa:
given.

The state of Iowa is 210 miles long
and 800 miles wide at its extreme
points. It's area is 56,025 square
miles. Texas has the largest area OF
any state in the Union, having $685.
7S0 square miles. 1t is four and
three-fourths times as large as Iowa,
and yet Iowa crops annually exceed
in value those OF Texas by many mil
lions. In 1909, accoring to the fig
ures of the last census, Iowa's crops
exceeded those of Texas by $16,532,-
S22. This indicates why Iowa land
is so valuable, and why there is cheap
land in Texas The productive land
in Texas is just as high as that of
Iowa.

At 10000 a. m. Sunday, March
goth, 1913, we left the pier in a
very nice little launch to go shark
fishing. The only trouble with the
launch was that there were no
chairs or seats and you had to dis
pose yourself gracefully on the deck.
That was alright until you became
sea-sick and then the floor grew
very hard. Back of the launch, and
being towed by the same was our
bait, a dead horse. Buck" great
strong, strapping native boy, went
with us to do the harpooning and
the hauling in of the shark. Jack al
so went along to run the boat and to
help Buck. In the party were 15
men and women. We had a most

Interesting Sermon Deliver

tian-Rev. Parker Has a
Sermon on Prayer.

Yesterday at the First Christian
church the Rev. Mr.. Traum told of
last weeks work at the Bethany Park
assembly and of some of the addresses
which were delivered there. The chief
lecturer of the week was Prof. E. E.
Snoddy, head of the department of
philosophy at Hiram, College, Ohio,
and former school mate of Rev. Mr.
Traum. He gave a series of lectures
during the week. which all had as
their theme the theory that the world
and life is still in the process of max
ing, that there are new thoughts and
new discoveries which are still to be
made.
Rev. Traum said in his address yes
terday: He contrasted the life and
philosophy of the ancient Greeks with
the thoughts of the present day, and
showed how the Greeks thought that
they had learned all the facts and
had seen all the world when they
we're living in a world known TO them
as bounded by the Mediterranean sea
on the south. and the Atlantic ocean
on the west. The recent developments

THEY NEVER SEE SPOoKS.
That ls One Consolation That Color
Blind Persons Have.


Are you afraid OF the dark There
isn't n chance OF you seeing a ghost liz
you are color blind. which may furnish
you a ray of comfort for the beauties
of landscape and floral decorations you
may have missed during your lifetime.
DR.. August hummer, head of the
physical institute of the University of
Breslau. in Germany. is authority for
this.
DR. hummer explains the phenome-
non in this way:
The normal eye has an arrangement
of tiny reds and cones ia the retina.
The rods perceive light and the cones
color. When a person with a normal
eye tries TO see in a half dark place
the cones, which are useless, interfere
with the effective action of the rods.
and consequently the confusion creates
the effect OF apparitions that come and
go and change their shapes.
The color blind person lacks the
cones. and his rods act with extraordi-
nary efficiency in the dark. The color
blind person sees a clear. permanent
outline OF things as long as there Is the
least amount Of light present. That
means that hesnever sees ghosts."-
