A TASTEOF THE WORLD
Four OskalOosa Boys have Pleasant
and Exciting Experiences.

Starting away from home several
weeks ago, more to be doing some
thing than with any real object or
destination in view, four Oskaloosa
boys have had a vacation trip worth
while, covering a number of weeks,
have seen parts of the great state of
Iowa they would not otherwise have
known, have rubbed up against their
fellowmen and have seen life as 1t
really is. The boys are musicians and
they took along their band instru-
ments as a means of subsistence.
They did not intend to do vaudeville,
but thought they would drop in on
motion picture theatres from town to
town and put on an orchestra stunt
that would pay expenses and give a
little spending money. The trip was
boys survey it. They made over six
hundred miles in three weeks and
had all manner of experiences. They

just about paid their way and now
THAT they are home they can look
back upon their trip In the light OF an
experience. VIII McFall was the
first to arrive home. He was not the
advance agent of the troupe, but he
knows what tie pass means. Harry
Schultz is not home yet. He made
an acquaintance at Clarinda with
whom he has been favorably impress
ed and he has stopped off at that place
| for a few days visit or little linger
longer. Among the towns visited and
where the boys found engagements
were Abba. Osceola, New Virginia
lVillisca, Clarendon, Shenandoah, Ret
Oak and Des Moines. The boys start
ed without any idea of how the ven
ture would take, or whether they
would win, but they were willing tc
take chance" and they have prof

while.
At Osceola the boys put on theil
stunt for an eating house and drew
the following notice from the Demo
crat:

A FREEZE IN AUGUST.
Iowa Corn Fields Coated With Ice
81 Years Ago Monday.

The following story from Keokuk
may help to cool the reader. The
Gate-City OF Monday says:
Fifty-One years ago today all OF the
corn in this vicinity was frozen.
There were frozen puddles of water
in the corn fields. This was recalled
by Judge" Haywood who has lived
in this vicinity for more than q half
century.
1t was on August II, 1863, that the
corn fields were coated with ice. The
sudden freeze followed the breaking
of a drought. And It occurred dur,
ing war time. Perhaps the supersti
tious can find something in this to
worry about at this time of year.
There had been a season OF dry
weather something like this that we
have been experiencing, Mr.. Hay
wood recalled today. On August Il
| it broke and there was a great guam
| tity of rain, from the twelfth unit
about the fifteenth. The corn was
beaten down in a number Of fields by
the amount of moisture, and tht
strength OF tAe storm.
On the night OF the sixteenth o.
August a sudden drop in the tenn
perature caused the freezing Of thE
water in the corn field and on the
corn stalks. In places where the corr
was beaten down 1t was frozen fas
to the ground and there was a shee
of ice to be seen over ponds and dit
ches where the water had collected
This was the sight which met thu
eyes of the people as far west as thu
Missouri river on the morning of thu
