Curina Wood.

Wood has contagious diseases! A
stick of wood in n lumber yard may
be sick and infect other timbers, which
later may develop the disease when
they are supporting great weights in IA
new building. Some of the diseases are
so contagious that in a building they
will jump several feet across masonry
or brick to some stick Of healthy wood.
Cures have been discussed by the
American Society of Mechanical En-
gineers. Most of the diseases are va
rieties of dry rot caused by fungus,
and most of the varieties Of the dry rot
fungi cannot stand heat much over 100
degrees. so the most likely cure Is to
close a building up tight, II any beams
are infected. and heat 1t up to l2O or
40 degrees Even this is not always
successful. for ends of beams are bur
led in the outer brick walls. and the
heat may not reach them.-Exchange.

Sharpening a Pencil.

An expert manual training man talk
ed with the writer about so simple a
thing as sharpening lead pencil. In
the first place, he says. the knife should
not be overshnrp. but should be a
little dull, as II too sharp It will cut
quickly through the wood and cut
away the lead Then. again, he says,
1t is best to hold the pencil in the left
hand with the end to be sharpened
pointing away from you and to cut
away with pushing cut rather than
toward you with drawing cut, as
then the point of the pencil is rested
against the side Of the thumb and is
sharpened by draw cut stroke Of the
knife blade. e.-Scientidc American.

MTNNEsOTA'S NOSE.
Curious History of the jog In Our
Northern Boundary Line.

Curious History of the jog In Our
Northern Boundary Line.
How did the United States come to
get that small corner of land which
juts out from the extreme northern
boundary of Minnesota? History Of
that little nose" which sticks out into
Canada from Minnesota and which
constitutes the northernmost point Of
the United States is very interesting.
Under the treaty of 1888 the boundary
possessions was fixed. A certain point
on the Lake of the Woods was mutual
ly agreed to as one starting point, this
being considered the headwaters of the
st. Lawrence river and great lakes
system.
AT that time it was not known wheth-
er this point was north or south of the
forty-ninth parallel. but it was known
to be close to it, The understanding
was that from that point the boundary
should go north or south to the forty.
ninth parallel, as the case might be.
Later and more accurate surveys
showed that point was about twenty
FIVE miles north of the forty-ninth par
allel. and so at this place the boundary
makes a jog above that line.
Uncle Sam thus has little piece Of
! territory of about a hundred square
miles in extent north of the genera
boundary. And the joke of it is tina
any one has to go by water in order t
reach this little piece of territory unless
he wants to go through Canada.-Path

IOWA SHIPPERS LOSE,
Supreme Court Decision Annulls Re-
cent Concession Made to
State Board

Des Moines, June 17.-In revers-
ing the Iowa supreme court in the
case of the Rock Island railroad VS..
Jelske Cramer, a farmer of Wright
county, the United States Supreme
Court yesterday sustained the valid
ity of railroad regulations limiting
liability in handling live stock. The
order from the high court was receiv-
ed at the office Of B. w. Garrett, clerk
of the Iowa Supreme Court
The decision is an important vic
tory for the railroads, but great dis
advantage to the farmers and ship
pers of Iowa.
The case in question grew out Of a
shipment of hogs from Gait, Iowa, to
Chicago in 1911. The hogs suffered
injury and Cramer sued the rail-
road company, securing judgment
for 1928. The Supreme Court sus-
tanned the district courts, but the
highest court in the land cancelled
the judgment and gave the railroad
company Judgment against Cramer
for 1925, costs Of appealing the
case. The decision will fix the firm
rule in Iowa that the railroads can
limit their liability in the handling Of
live stock and other freight. 1t comes
just at time when the shippers are
seeking to have suspended a rule,
announced to become effective July
!, that the railroads shall not be
liable for delay in the handling Of
live stock, and that the roads will
not guaratnee to carry freight by any
certain train or deliver at destination
at any certain time
In the Cramer case the shipper has
signed contract which provided,
that in case the hogs were killed, the
railroad should not be liable for more
than $40 head. By paying higher
freight rate the road offered a valu-
alton of 500 head. Cramer
chose the lower valuation. The hogs
were injured and the shipper sought
to recover the market value of the
pork

REACH AGREEMENT ON WALDEN
WILL.
Court Approves Settlement Whereby
Walden Heirs Receive $4,000.

AS reported in the last issue of the
up in the district.court Tuesday, and
through an agreement with the heirs
of the late Allen Walden, the ad-
ministrator of the estate, Mr.. r. G.
Poston, agreed to pay them $4,000
to drop all claims to an interest in
the estate.
This the Walden heirs signed
agreements to do, both personally
and through their local attorneys,
| Carter & Bracewell.
Through this agreement the Wal
dens are to receive as their share of
the estate $4,000, out of which they
pay their attorneys. 1t is under
stood the attorneys, two from Illinois,
two from Missouri, and Carter &,
Bracewell, of Corydon, took the case
on a contingent fee, and the at
torneys for the heirs will receive
$4,000 for their services. The at
torneys for the will were Poston &
Murrow, Miles & Steele and w. H.
Tedford, of Corydon, who will receive
fee of about $ll, 900 for defending
the will.
The estate, according to the de-
cree signed, is supposed to be worth
about $4,000. After deducting from
the estate the $4,000 paid to the
Waldens and $12,225 paid the at
torneys and court costs, there will be
left >77,75O to pay the requests stip-
ulated in the will.
The court held that the requests
should pay, pro rata, their share OF
the 100000 to the Waldens and the
S12,25O attorneys fees and court
costs, which will bring the requests
down as follows:
Of the $4,000 left for parks, the
city will receive $24,746.60.
OF the 100000 left for the estab-
lishment of an orphans home, there
will be paid by the estate the
amount of $21, 211.37. This bequest
was made upon the condition that a
like amount should be raised by the
citizens of Corydon within three
years, and as it is thought the money
will not be raised, this bequest goes
to some one or more of the orphans
homes already established in the
state as selected by Mr.. Poston
OF the $4,000 left for the benefit
OIL our WaLeFWOrkS system tue CITY
will receive $7,O70.46.
This will leave residue, which
by the terms of the will goes to the
city of Corydon, Of $24,721.57. Out Of
this amount must be paid the cost of
administration of the estate, and as
this is not thought to be very large,
the city will receive a handsome
amount from the residue, which goes
for water, light and other purposes.
The people of Corydon are to be
congratulated on the settlement of
the case, as it makes available, by
the first of next year, great portion
of the funds left the city for the use
of the city.
Many residents of Corydon were
of the opinion that it would be better
to fight the case through the courts,
but the attorneys for both sides.
showed wise judgment when they
agreed to settlement, as the city
has received more money than it
would have received if the case had
been carried in the courts for years,
while the Waldens also Jared better
than they would had they gone into
court.

money by the settlement 10 the at

case in court for years, and used a
large part of the estate in paying at
torneys fees and court costs.
All in all the people of Corydon
are in luck, the Waldens are in luck,
and the attorneys can have the con-
seriousness of serving we'll the people
when they could have dragged the
case through the courts for years.

Topless potatoes have ceased to be
a curiosity. A few weeks ago we
had an article speaking of w. H.
Myers having some topless potatoes.
He planted the potatoes and they did
not come up. Being of an economical
turn Mr. Myers did not let the
ground lay idle, SO he started to plant
it to squash. On digging place to
plant the squash seed he unearthed
new potatoes, growing right out from
the old potatoes he had planted. Now
comes Mrs. Henry Swanker stating
that they have had the same expert
ence with some of their spuds Po-
tatoes growing right out from the old
I ones, and no indication of any tops,
nor does it seem as if there would be
any We cannot account for it, un-
less it is the peculiar condition of the
soil or weather. And we cannot see
any particular advantage in topless
potato. If you have visitors you have
to get down on your hands and knees
and dig around in the soil in order to
show the visitors your potato crop. No
Inspiration to grow potatoes without
tops. Any true Irishman would scorn
the idea Now il someone would grow
potato without any peeling on. he
would confer a lasting benefit upon
many Housewives Alton Star-ln-
