A mass of technical informa- ton was presented covering tine du- ditors report. and figures and rates. Much of the testimony was repeti- ton of that presented by Lee on Sat urday. Attorney General Bullard con ducted the case for the state. Com missioner Geary frequently interrupt ed 10 cross examine witnesses.

The G3isbee Water Co. will probably have its witnesses Dc fore the commission late this after non. A few citizens were present at the hearing but remained only for a short time. the recital proving tedi- ous. The only feature of the day was expression by Commissioner Geary that he was very much in doubt whether a water utility corpcr- ation had any right 10 establish a minimum charge. He was of 'he opinion the consumer should pay for only as much water as used.

 Sloan held that the Water Co. own ed service pipes and thus became re sponsible for all leakage. He reccon- mended reduction on the minimum charge and suggested the company pay interest on the meter deposits held by them. He recommended that the Water Go. be allowed 1 per cent on depreciation and 9 per ceat income on its investment. as a fair return.

LODGE MEMBERS PICK CORN

Iowa Falls, Dec. S.-That all the

employing the good deeds of their
remote ancestors in going to the re-
lief OF Carl Weber who lives near

crop. At the close of day, the volun-
teer huskers had garnered 1000
bushels Of corn.

PICKS MAIL IN SPEEDING AUTO
Rural Carrier in Marshall County
Has System For Fast Work.

Marshalltown, Ia, Dec. S.-Pick-
ing up rural mail while travelling
twenty miles an hour in an automo-
bile is a feat accomplished by Geo
Flanagan, rural carrier out Of Ha-
verhill, this county, at one point on
his route.
Flanagan uses an auto to drive
his route. One of his patrons, nam
ed Botten, has a son Carl, aged IA
who has rugged up small crane
similar to the mail cranes used by
trains in picking up mail at stations
where they do not stop. Miniature
mail bags are used, and the carrier
driving past the crane, throws off
his pouch for the Bottens and grabs
the Botten outgoing sack, without
even slowing down. A universal de-
vice of this kind would make rural
mail delivery about as rapid as the
ordinary fast mail train.

SHEEP ARE OFTEN NEGLECTED
No Farm Animal More Capable OF
Adapting Itself to Different Meth
DDS of Treatment.

Too many farmers are overlooking
a good opportunity by neglectlng to
have sheep on the farm. Men who do
not like sheep must either learn to
like them or keep out Of the business
Men who do like bhem will take care
OF them, and when they are taken
care of they are no more liable to dis
ease than any other farm animal.
The sheep Is the mosa modern ami
NAL in creation. By that we mean that
he has left no fossil .Smains of his
own kind or ancestrf. He is de-
velopment of the last Gays of creation
and of about the sam, geological age
as mankind. There s no animal on
the farm that is more capable of re-
spending to different methods OF
treatment and adapting himself to
different environments than is the
sheep.
He can be bred into almost any
thing of the sheep kind. Long, coarse
wool, or short, fine wool, horns or nc
horns, black or white, big carcass
for mutton, or other notifications
have been produced, and all are
money-makers when properly han
died by the right man.

FEW POINTS or A GOOD cow
Important characteristics of Activity
and Vitality Should Be Determined
by Eye of Animal.

Nervous temperament IN cow does
not mean a high state Of nervousness
or lrritability, but the animal has
nerves such as make the various parts
active, giving tone, vitality and activ'
ity TO the many parts of the body
This important characteristic is judged
by the size and character of her eyes,
Her face should be broad between the
eyes aud well dished.
The eye should be prominent
bright, clear and mild, but not at all
sluggish looking. The prominence and
openness of the joints of the backbone
is a very important indication. The
backbone should be covered with nc
surplus flesh, for if it is, the cow is US
ing to fatten herself that which should
go into the milk pail The ribs should
be wide in themselves, and should
have plenty Of width between them
This can be measured by inserting the
fingers between the ribs. Persistency
in chewing the cud is a very important
point with dairy COWS.
