Z. J. Quinn, Of Bellinghsm, WASH, an
Ellsworth boy, has patented a device to
minimize the cost OF oil heating, from

Office 20 the credit OF z. J. Quinn. of Belling-'
ham, under "patent applied for" A favora-
be report has been issued by the patent office

heen In operation at the local postoffice build
ing for a month, saving the governmen Mt go in
power and a. 10 fuel during that period.
Quinn has charge Of the mechanical depart
ment Of the local federal building, and his
invention atomiKes with steam instead Of air.
doing away entirely with a 81 horsepower
motor aud an air-compressor. II cost sl00 to

TO Be SUBMITTED
AT THE PRIMARY
--- 49, IT,
Board of Supervisors Ask People to
Vote Upon New County Home
Proposition.

The board of supervisors have
passed resolution submitting to the
voters of the county a proposition
to vote tax of two and one-half
mills to create a fund for the cree
ton of a new county home at the
county farm just northeast of this
city. That such building is need
ed cannot be disputed. Whether or
not the taxpayers of the county will
feel like voting two and half mill
tax to build it is doubtful. The tax
would amount to about $22,500,
which is a little more than the in
crease paid in state taxes by the
county this year. ~
The resolution passed by the board
will give the people opportunity to
vote upon the proposition at the
coming primary, when it will be
demonstrated whether or not the
voters favor the erection of a suit
able building for housing the I'M
fortunates of the county.

Fifty-Seven Years of Age.

The Weekly Freeman is fifty-sev-
en- years of age today. 1t was es-
tablished in the spring of 1857 by
the late Charles Aldrich, being the
first newspaper in this section of
Iowa. Fifty-seven years is long
time in the history of Iowa, espec-
tally of this part of Iowa. In 1857
Webster City had a population of
perhaps $50 and there was not more
than a thousand people in Hamil-
ton county. The paper found it
hard to exist, but through the per-
sistence and courage of Mr.. Aldrich
it lived and soon became one of the
newspapers of north
western Iowa. It has been under
the control of the Freeman-Tribune
Publishing company since 1899.
The publishers are gratified at the
support it is receiving and will do
all in their power to merit public
patronage and good will in the fut-
ure.

THE WEATHER AND
THE CROP REPORT
Farm Work is Farther Advanced
Than Usual at This Season
of the Year.

Des Moines, April 2S.-Another
full week of comparatively dry and
warm weather has enabled farmers
to do more than the average amount
of field work. Spring seeding is
finished, early potatoes and garden
truck planted and much ground is
ready for corn. Owing to great
amount of fall blowing and the fav
orable conditions prevailing this
spring, farm work is farther advanc-
ed than usual at this season of the
year. Spring grains and grass have
started nicely, and oats show good
stand. Winter wheat and rye are
generally in good condition, but a
good, soaking rain is needed soon to
keep up normal growth and produce
an average crop of hay. The heavy
frost and freezing temperatures on
the morning of the goth did but lit
tie if any damage, and the prospects
for fruit crop are still excellent.
All fruit trees are in blossom in the
southern counties, and shade and
forest trees are becoming green in
all parts of the state. Some corn
has been planted, and if favorable
weather continues much of it will
be planted during the coming week.
