10000 Leave Canada.

More than 10000 persons left
Canada to make their home in the
United States in 1913 and it is esti-
mated by the United States immigra-
ton commissioner in Montreal that
more than 100000 will leave Canada
to make their permanent residence
in the United States during the com
ing year.
Canada immigration Off Gals and
others interested in the develop
ment of Canada have recently be-
come considerably exercised over the
revelations which these immigration
statistics show. With the great food
of immigration that has been going
into Canada for the last several wears
from many foreign countries and al
so from the United States, il was
not realized that such a very large
number of people were leaving Can
ada, the vast majority of them being
those who were going back TO their
former homes.
The United States immigration
commissioners report shows that,
while 94,496 persons left Canada to
live in the United States in the year
ending June 90, 1910, the number i'm
the next twelve months was lO5,512
and in the last fiscal year il was 143,-

for burial, accompanied by the de-
ceased's parents, JAS. Noble and
wife; his brother, w. H. Noble. his
sister, Mrs. r. j Novotny, and his
friend Clifford Thompson.
Roy Chester Noble was born on his
fathers farm near Conover, Iowa,
on Aug. %, 1899, and came with his
parents to Kansas in 1903, where he
has since resided with the exception
of about six months when his people
lived in DEBORAH, Iowa He and his
! brother conducted the Noble Grain
and Elevator business at Bronson,
whepe he was a most efficient and
reliable business manager and me-
chanic. His death is a severe shock
to the people of Bronson as he was
unusually we'll liked, and had a wide
circle of friends The blow, coming
onto the family with such sudden
ness, and just when he was in the
sturdy health Of young manhood,
has almost Frustrated them, and the
most fervent sympathy is being ex-
tended to them from every quarter.
His father, brother, brother-in-law
and several friends came over to be
present at the hospital during the
operation.
Roy was personally known to the
writer as pupil In the Bronson schools
where he was Q favorite with every
one and beloved by pupils and in
structors alike. He was a young
man of clean habits, unflinching hon
esty and unvarying pleasantness, and
was respected by everyone. For sew
eral months he had evinced an awak-
ening interest in religious matters,
and more recently confessed to a
friend his faith in Christ and no
doubt would soon have done so pub
liely, which comes as great consola-
ton to countless friends. To the be-
reaved ones universal and sincere
sympathy is extended.
The funeral services were held at
the home of Mrs. r. J. Novotny on
Saturday afternoon, conducted by
Dr.. NJ. Willett, and the remains were
laid to rest in Phelps cemetery.

Calls Her Chickens With a Bell,

In the Poultry Raising" depart
ment of the current issue of Farm
and Fireside Pearl Chenoweht tells
how she gets her chickens to lay eggs
In the winter. She has seventy-fiye
single-comb Brown Leghorns which
laid from thirty to forty eggs a day
during November. Following is an
extract from her article:
My hens have a warm dinner ev-
cry day at noon planned as carefully
as that for the family. Sometimes it
is kettle of oats boiled in salt wat
er, crock of milk and a stewed
pumpkin. Sometimes it is boiled DO
tatoes, I've hominy and cabbage. Of
ten it is cooked wheat with Kafir and
oats uncooked.
When the eggs are gathered, US
ually at four p. m, the hens are fed
as much shelled corn as they will
eat. ] have trained them to come at
the ringing of bell. 1t is the only
way / can get them from the millet
stack.
The last thing before the
chickens go to roost-and often half
the flock get off the roost-I feed a
warm mash, bran or shorts for foun-
dation, mixed with table scraps and
beef meal. OF this they are fonder
than anything, and thus more food
is consumed than if the best were
given first. Aside from this advan-
tage, the warm food will keep them
warm until well toward morning,
and every bird is at work again as
soon as it is light enough to see.
Thrice a week we feed meat
scraps bought in UNDERGROUND
sacks at the packing house. The
chickens at first refused it dry, but
by pouring hot water over it and al
lowing it to stand overnight it makes
q feast for them.
Several times each day the water
ing pans are emptied and rinsed and
refilled Oyster shells, ground bone,
sand and ashes are kept before the
flock always.

KILLED AT BRONSON, KAs.
Roy Noble, Former Winneshiek
County Boy Meets Shocking
Death. Clothing Caught i'm
Engine Shafting.

News of the shocking death OF
Roy Noble, former Winneshiek
county boy, was received by DEBORAH
relatives last week, and the follow
ing from the Bronson and Fort Scott
papers give detailed particulars OF
the accident:
Roy Noble, who was terribly in
Jured last Friday, died yesterday af-
ternoon at Mercy Hospital, where
yesterday morning the surgeons.
taking the last fighting chance of
saving his life, amputated his left
arm. Without the operation physi-
clans say he could not have lived
and with it there was only the bar
est chance that he might survive.
Roy Noble was injured when his
clothes became entangled in a l5-
horse power gasoline engine at the
grain elevator in Bronson, which he
and his brother had conducted there
for some time. In oiling the engine,
which was in full operation. one OF
the corners of the young mans coat
caught on the shaft of the engine
and he was drawn into the machine
in such manner that his left should
er came forcibly in contact with the
sparker, the sharp point of which
penetrated deeply into his shoulder
1t is difficult for the surgeons to un.
derstand just how the wound was in
fiicted. Apparently the sparker had
penetrated the shoulder and then
suddenly jerkei downward, severing
the lower half of the arm, and with
it the axilliary artery. The injury
was terrible one, and yet young
Noble showed marvellous nerve, ris-
ing to his feet after disentangling
himself from the engine and walking
unaided to a doctors office, where
his injuries were dressed and he was
taken home.
He seemed to be mending as we'll
as could be expected until Saturday
| morning when bleeding set in and
was stopped only with great difficult
ty, DR.. G. B. Lambeth of Moran being
called to assist Dr. Cummings. On
Monday blood poison made it's APP
pearance and the patient was taken
to Mercy hospital at FIT. Scott where
the left arm was amputated Tuesday
morning at nine o'clock. He only
partially recovered consciousness,
recognizing the ones waiting at his
side only at times, and passed away
at 1920 in the afternoon.
When Roy was first told that his
arm must be amputated, he express
sed the wish rather to die than lose
his arm, but afterwards acquiesced
and faced the ordeal bravely.
The body was shipped to 8rclso
and taken to the Noble home, and
the funeral services were held at the
NJ. f. church Thursday at 8 a. m.
conducted by Rev. Oliver of the M.
L. church, assisted by Rev. Lewis
Durham of the Baptist church. The
high school and places of business
closed for the funeral.
The remains were taken to Moran,

The Meter Went Right On.

Mrs. Brown at last had found a
cook-a really first rate cook, but
one who, unfortunately, knew moth
ing about the manipulation of gas
stove.
Mrs. Brown, therefore, sent her
husband to the kitchen to explain
matters. This he proceeded to do
very thoroughly, lighting each OF
the many burners in order that the
cook really might see how the range
was operated.
While he was still explaining, a
message called him from the kitch-
en-.
ooh, WELL" he remarked as he
turned away, you'll soon learn how
it works, won't you, Martha"
Several days elapsed before mas
ter and cook met again. Then one
morning Mr.. Brown happened to
meet Martha in the hall
Well" he asked, and how's the
range doing?"
To his and Mrs. Browns utter
CONSERVATION, this was the reply:
Deed sir, that's the best stove
| ever did see. The fire you kim
died for me four days ago is still a.
burning, and it amt even lowered
once. Answers London.

What is Your Guess About Spring :


Why is cold winter followed by
a late spring? Or is it? A German
student of the weather has found
that when the soil at depth of two
feet is about two degrees colder than
usual it holds back the spring ten
days. One would think, then, that
When snow comes early in the fall
and lies deep on the ground all win
ter, thus keeping the earth from
deep freezing, the spring would be
apt to come on more promptly after
the spring thaw than in the case OF
long, cold winter with little snow
and deep freezing. Haven't some OF
cur old and weather-wise readers
some observations to report on this?''

practically 400 dozen during 1913.
There was only one day during the

that was on Nov. 18th His chick

which left him a profit of $3612, be-
