THE M|STLETOE AND
ITS POPULAR USES

Through the kiE Edness of Mr.. and
Mrs. Hi Heath we received a sprig
of Mistletoe last Monday and it brot
vividly to mind our youthful days
OF long ago; for, if lady was
caught passing under the Mistletoe
at Christmastide Il kiss was the re-
ward OF perhaps struggle, but the
effort usually brought results.
1t is perhaps not generally known
that Mistletoe is plant parasite.
1t grows on the apple. tree, the
thorn. the cak. the poplar the lime
and ash. II las TO connection with
the ground whafever but lives by
sapping its Eourishment from other
trees, its roots penetrating into the
wood OF the tree it lives in. 1t
sometimes kills the tree in, which
ii grows. 1t was deemed sacred by
tho druids and still finds large
market in the United States and
England and is considered an EN-
blem of love.
The sample box was sent from
southern Oklahoma.

IOWA HEADS THE LIST
IN EDUCATIONAL LINES

Iowa has fewer illiterates within
her borders of any state in the
Union. The census of 1910 shows
that of her people only Ii per
cent can not read or write. 1t is
a curious fact that in: educational
lines the west IFS far ahead of the
east. Eight of the states have less
than three per cent of illiterates. all
central and western states. They ar<
Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, S. Dako.
ta. Utah, Idaho, Washington and
Oregon. OF these Iowa heads the
list.
Twenty-nine per cent of the peo-
pie of Louisiana are unable to read
and write and of S. Carolinfs in
habitants twenty-five per cent are
dlliterates. The majority of the
eastern states have from five tc
ten per cent illiterates.
Iowa has made and is making rap
i'd strides in educational lines and
her people may we'll he proud thai
she has beco ONE the banner state ir

Probably the heaviest car of
cattle ever shipped out OF Audu-
bon County was sent to the Chica-
go market by MI. John Dimick Last
Saturday: He shipped fourteen
head that weighed $500 pounds,
being an average of 1880 pounds
each.
They are all Audubon County pro
duction and have been on full
feed in Mr.. Dimick's yards about
one year. The gain has been just
eight hundred pounds each for the
year. One steer bought of Mr.. Dyer
a. year ago weighed go pounds and
weighed last Saturday 1910.
These cattle sold last Monday at
SS.75 cents per hundred pounds
AID brought nearly $3.50. each.
The heavy cattle at the fat stock
show in Chicago last week brot
$3.50 per hundred or 25 cents per
hundred less than did Mr.. Dimick's
bunch. John feels justly proud of
his experience thus far and says he
has three carloads yet in his yards
