MEN WHO HOARD CHECKS.
Banks Have Trouble Because Payees
Won't Deposit Their Paper.

Speaking OF boarding gold" re-
marked the head Of large oil COM
pany, there is list that will perhaps
interest you. There are several thou
sand checks still outstanding against
my company which have been issued
at various dates since 1891 in payment
for oil we have bought from little oil
producers. These checks have not
been cashed and apparently the hold
ers are in no hurry to cash them. Once
we tried to get in touch with some of
these old fellows so that we could clean
up the very ancient checks, the OBJ
ject being, of course. TO reduce the
amount of bookkeeping necessary to
keep our balance straight. We had got
tired OF holding that cash against these
checks. Do you think the old fellows
would give up? Not much. They said
that they had been selling oil to US for
many, many years and would as soon
have our checks as Uncle Sans money;
that they did not need the cash, and
that they guessed we would be good
for it when they did. So they are still
holding them. OF course, every corpor-
alton has it's trouble in these lines, but
we believe we hold the record.D-WaII

BEATEN AT HIS OWN GAME.
6ushman's Clever Strategy Saved Him

The little bushman of South Africa
is not only small in size, but TO the
European he appears feeble in mind.
Yet there is the story of an encounter
between a bushman and a lion which,
according 10 a correspondent of Har-
per's Weekly shows man cool in
danger and fertile in resource.
The bushman. who was long way
from home. met a lion. The animal,
sure that he had mis- victim complete
~ in his power, began to sport with
him with a feline playfulness that the
little bushman failed to appreciate.
The lion would appear at 4 point in
the road and leap back again into the
jungle, TO reappear little farther on.
The bushrnan did not lose his pres
ence of mind. and presently hit upon
way TO outwit his foe. Aware that
the beast was ahead Of him, the bush
man lodged into the jungle to the
right and quietly awaited the next
move. When the lion discovered that
the man had suddenly disappeared
from the path, he was perplexed. He
roared Then he espied the bushman
peering at him over the grass
The bushman al once change his po-
sltion, while the lion stood irreSolute
in the path, following with his eye the
moving black man. The little man
rustled the reeds, vanished, and ap-
peared at another point
The great brute was first confused
and then alarmed. 1t began TO dawn
on him that he was the hunted party
The bushman did not let the lion col
lect his startled wits. He began to
steal gradually toward the foe, who
now, in complete state of doubt and
fear, turned tail, and ran ignominious-
! ly from the field.

TRIPLES PROFIT OF DAIRY HERD.
One Iowa Farmer Does II in Three
Years Thru Testing.


Iowa milk producers may learn now
to triple the net income from their
cows in three years time from the ex-
perience of Peder Peterson & Son of
Black Hawk county. who actually
turned the trick They Joined the
Benson Cow Testing association in
which were not paying for their board
and weeded them out. Prof. H. IL.
Kildee tells of the experience in a
bulletin. Care. Feed and MANAGEMENT
of the Dairy Herd issued by the Iowa
state agricultural experiment station at
.Ames.
During the first year the Pedersens
discovered that their herd averaged
1855 pounds of milk for the year. or
207.7 pounds of butter fat. While the
net profit per animal, over cost OF feed
was only Sz2.I2. The best COW nlade
an income of s54.222 meaning That the
poorest probably lost money.
In the second year. 1912, the average
net income increased to 1895. That
gain was accomplished by wedding out
40 per cent of the old cows and put
ting new cows. bred from pure bred
sire. into their places. and by the pur-
chase of COW and heifer
In 1913 the average milk production
Went up To $685. pounds and he but
ter fat average TO S4l.9 pounds: the
average net income went to sio. more
than three times what it was in 1911.
Those results We're due to the weed
ing out of 80 per cent of the previous
years herd and replacing the poor AMI
mails with better of home breeding.
According to Professor kildee. Iowa
needs hundreds Of such testing associa-
tons to bring Its average butter fat
production per COW from l4o pounds to
what it ough, tolbe.

That every member must provide
For burial (when he has died)
A coffin made by true men;
Tho this Is logical. we see
Inadequate the rule may be,
Tho full of force and dignity.
Yet lacking acumen;
In this our land each faith is free;
Cremation has its champions here;
And tho they like the union bier;
When fieshly garments doffin'.
They still might find bit too donr,
A useless union coffin.
The remedy is clear enough:
To call at once each rebel blum.
A walking delegate most rough.
Should interview ST. Peter.
And say that, while he holds the keys
And bosses the Eumenides;
Each applicant his frown must freeze

Unless the fellow proves with ease

BAD AUTO. ACCIDENT.
Marshall Hite Narrowly Escaped Deatf
When Car Skidded.

Marshall Hite, son of D. r. Hite, had
q narrow escape from death late Sat-
urday evening when the automobile he
was driving crashed into a rock bridge
and plunged into ditch. The car was
a Paige roadster. belonging to H. Grady
Montgomery. There is little left of the
roadster. out of the factory only a few
weeks. but a collection of wood and
iron.
.Hite borrowed the car and went for a
drive in the country. He was returning
on the Tecumseh road and lost control
Of the steering gear when the car went
into a ditch, skidding at muddy place.
The car. going at a good rate of speed,
ran straight into the solid rock wall
of a culvert. The roadster, along with
the driver, dropped into the ravine,
which was nine feet deep. Hite was
injured slightly and the car was
smashed. The young man brushed off
his clothes. hailed a passing Ford, and
came back to the city.

Finds the Real Facts.

Topeka children are the most

strongest. This according to q report
issued from the office of the city san
itary sergeant today.

cribed by the social survey report, 1872

one death has been recorded for the
