Another Harold Bell Wright Play

"The Winning of Barbara Worth,
the production presented at the Stu
debaker Theatre and which comes to
the armory opera house Saturday,
Dec. 26th, is said to be a most in
teresting scenic production. Among
other great scenes there is given a
picture of the desert without a
blemish. 1t is a scenic achievement
of a moving order, for the producers
realized that the fauna and flora,
and the human life in all its
achievements and aspirations, are
essential factors. From the cry or
the babe for water until the sand
storm wipes out every vestige OF the
great tragedy that left Barbara
nameless, the desert scene Is awe
inspiring. 1t is the alpha OF scenic
artistry with the omega in the last
act of a wonderful realistic Hood
scene, where the desert is brought
under subsection and made profit
able by the wedding Of the sunshine
and the rain. This play Is another
from one of the popular novels Of
Harold Bell Wright.

Fresh Air.

Des Moines Tribune: 1t is the
time of year when we are prone to
stick around indoors and breathe
close hot air and catch colds and
kindred ailments. The value of fresh
air should be appreciated now more
than ever. Open windows at inter-
walls to ventilate rooms, open win
dows at night, and long walks in
the wintry weather would aid in the
matter of keeping healthy and hap
by during the months of frost and
chilling blasts.
In most of the homes of the we'll
TODD today we have conditions
much more favorable to good health
than in the homes of a similar class
several decades ago. We are not.
as a rule, compelled to wear the
heavy, burdensome clothing which
was required before the days of fur
naees and warm houses. We ought
to gain something through our in
creased facilities for protection. But
to do this it is necessary that we
appreciate the fact that plenty of
fresh air and moderate outdoor ex-
ercises are admirable curatives and
sAs best Of preventatives.

An Unusual Corn Crib,

Stratford Courier: E. e. Sudder-
of this community, has just complet-
ed one of the finest corn cribs in
this section of the country. The
building is constructed entirely Of
concrete with the exception of an
air shaft which is six feet in dame
ter and "a feet high and on the top
has been erected a cone shaped iron
roof so that the corn in falling on
it from the elevator will be scatter
ed throughout the crib
The extreme height is 35 feet and
the diameter, outside measure, is 20
feet. The walls are made OF hollow
cement blocks 2 feet long, 8 inches
high and Z inches thick. They are
rounded SO that they make per-
feet circle. There is only one out
side door and that of iron put on
with spring so that it is impossi-
Bile to leave it open for rats and
mice to get in. The foundation is
6 feet deep with a smooth cement
shelf around the entire crib so that
rats and mice can't crawl over it.
There is corn room 20 feet high.
The cupola is feet by feet by
12 feet, with a door for the eleva-
tor. The roof Of the crib is made Of
cement sections feet by 10 feet
and laid on cement rafters and in
the foundation is tile in four direc-
tions for ventilation and through
the center, just even with the floor,
is a trough made to run a drag
through when he wants to she'll
corn from the crib. Around the air
shaft will be doors to open to let
the corn into the drag.
There are $50 sacks of cement in
the crib and Mr.. Sudderberg and
sons, Louis and Wallace, have mold
ed every block and done all the
work. They also made all the plans
themselves. The walls, both outside
and inside, are as smooth as
board. They are lucky enough to
have a sand pit on their own land
so that the the sand did not cost
more than the work of digging and
hauling. Mr.. Sudderberg and sons
have also made tile and posts
enough to tile and fence their quar-
ter section. The crib is estimated
to hold 5000 bushels.

WORTH NEARLY HALF
A BILLION DOLLARS
The Value of Iowa's Crops This Year
Placed at More Than
$465,0OO,oOO.

Iowa farm crops, not including
live stock, butter and eggs, ETC., for
the year 1914 are worth $465, 1885,
419, according to the final report OF
Dr.. George M. Chapel, head Of the
Iowa weather and crop service, issu-
ed few days ago. DR.. Chappels
report shows the farmers of Iowa
are $27,635,979 richer than they
were for last years labors. The total
value of all crops for 1913 was
$43S,157, 440.
Iowa'S 1914 corn crop is estimat-
ed at 3,6S9,6OO bushels. This is
I21, 100000 bushels in excess of that
raised in 1913 and at the price OF
SIS cents per bushel is worth $780,
O29,2S0.
The quality of the corn grown in
the state never was better, accord
ing to the report. The drought re-
duced the yield in the southern
counties of the state, but copious
showers over the northern districts
more than made up for the loss.
DR.. Chappel's estimate of yields is
slightly under that made by govern
ment experts, who have figured the
Iowa corn crop for 1914 at 3S9,0O0,-
900 bushels.
On nearly every staple crop the
1914 crop exceeds that for 1913.
Oats, barley, rye, potatoes, hay and
alfalfa show good increases. There
is slight decrease in the yield of
wheat and fax. Oats, second to corn,
turned out 172,696,OOO bushels as
against 1851, 900 last year. This
crop is worth, today, $70,S05,36O.
Winter wheat, which is third total
ed this year, 12,03S,OOO bushels
worth s11,672,O63. Hay is worth
$25, 100000.
If the value of live stock-hogs,
cattle, horses, sheep, mules, and OF
all kinds of poultry and of butter
and eggs-produced in Iowa this
year is added to the above, the
grand total would foot up to nearly
$1,OOO,OO0,0O0. There are little
more than 100000 farms in Iowa
and If the value Of all products. in

fine OLD RELIC
EXHIBITED HERE
Bert Barnett Owner of Flint Lock
Pistol Which is in Perfect
Condition.

Bert Barnett, who is employed ir
the Parkhurst & Lavender garage
is the possessor of a fine old flint
lock pistol. He came into possession
OF the weapon about three years
ago, buying it for small price
from a young man who was passing
through this city and hard up, more
anxious for money than he was to
be the owner of an heirloom. The
pistol bears the date 1872" it be-
ing very indistinct on the top of the
barrel. Upon one side is some fine
writing in German script and the
frearm is evidently of German man
ufacture. 1t is in as perfect condi-
ton as it was the day it was made
although already 102 years old. The
flint which is rigidly held by a
clamp strikes a spark each time the
trigger is pulled and the barrel
would admit of Is ball. 1t is
probable that instead of ball, a
quantity of buckshot was used and
a small ramrod is attached to the
under part Of the pistol with which
to ram the ball or shot into place.
The gun has brass mountings and is
extremely heavy, weighing more
than the ordinary lightweight rifle
of the present day. The relic is one
of great interest to those who new
er pass by articles manufactured in
the early days.
This is again an instance in
which it is a pity we have not a
place in which to exhibit to the
younger generation the articles of
a half century or more ago. There
are many such articles in the city,
but there is no place in which to
arrange them for public observation.
