Lightning Rods Popular
In NOdaway County, Mo.

Uncle Josh" photograph records, re-

County. says a dispatch from Maryrille,
Mo. in the Kansas City Star. You
couldn't sell them here. even if the

For Nodaway County takes her light
ming rods seriously. So seriously, m
deed. that the county has more houses
so equipped than any other county,
probably. in all the country. Lightning
rod men themselves say that nine-tenths
of the houses in the county are rodded
and that means between 1000 and 5000
homes so provided.
So thoroughly has the business been
worked here that the county is prac-
itcalIy closed field to the lightning rod
agent. and il is only when new houses
and barns are built that any effort is
made to sell the farmers the protectors
against the forked tongue of fire.
But despite the unpopularity of the
Uncle Josh records here, the condi-
tons are almost as the photograph de-
lineates. The grindstone and the calf
are not Todded directly. but both have
the protection of the rods extended to
them, being in sheds that are rodded. as
a rule.
So thoroughly is the lightning rod be-
neved in as regards this county that

And it isn't just the farmer that be-

bank president in MaryvIlle has his home

of the prominent residence streets looks
like a picket fence, the pickets being
made of lightning rods.
But. with two lightning rod factories
running overtime in Maryville, it is only
natural that the county should take kind
ly to the product. One Of these factories
arose at the little inland town of Ora
