CLYDE Din7iCk and Wife

The above is the way the an

everybody was surprised is putting
it'd mild.

the groom, in his haste and pump

Last April seventeenth the couple
started for Extra, apparently to Wis

and on the way a lay over of two
hours was necessary at Newton, to
make train connections. AS the
"bunoh" around town here had

AS We SEE IT
ON THE WAY

Big and enduring prosperity for
America is on the way. It's with us
Rlow, in spots. We call to witness
the biggest wheat crop in ten Years
and the huge orders for war sup
plies, motor trucks, army blankets
etc. AT the outbreak of war wheat
sod for 65c bushel. 1t has Jump
ed to $1.65. This rise of one dollar
when applied to the crop which A
merica has for export means three
hundred millions of dollars added
to the nation wealth. So much for
the war boom exports. 1t will end
with the war
But we also have a perman Mt prop
for our edifice of prosperity, namely
the fact that Uncle Sam is now
learning to make for himself and
the world what he and the world
formerly bought from Europe This
is no pipe dream. We illustrate with
cotton. Uncle Sam grows two-thirds
of the worlds cotton. Formerly firm
dolce of habit. he shipped mos. Of
it Europe in the raw state and theE
bought it back from England, Franc
and Belgium in the shape of merce-
|rized underwear and costly laces.
Now it so happens that the arena
of war is set in the lace making
districts of France, Belgium with
the result that the whole industry
is now wiped out. Uncle Sam must
lave laces. If he can't buy them,
!he must make them. That's Why
our whilom lace importers are now
making French and Belgian laces in
the factories of New York and New
jersey and why, for similar reasons,
nine new cotton mills of large capa-
city were opened throughout the
South, within sixty days after the
war opened.
TIE same is to be said of medicine
perfumes, gloves, toys, cork, politely
Photographic supplies chemicals and
dyes.

ON MUD HOLES

Not since May, 1908, have we had
so much rain or so many mud holes
The condition of roads in general,
has been much improved in their
twelve years, but the old fashioned
mud holes are still with us and will
be until we get fixed in our minds,
fully and finally that good drainage
is about the whole thing in making
lgooG roads. 1
Mud is simply water mixed with
the road material and in this hilly
country the water will not stay on
the road unless you pen it up. 1t is
pretty hard to find level place even
on what seems to be level ground,
as everyone who has laid a wall for
a building we'll knows. Wherever
water stands, there is certainly
catch basin, little or big, and if you
will open way out of it, and keep
it open, the water will go scudding
into the side ditch, or over onto the
adjoining land. Water is accommo-
dating and will go away if you do
not hold it. Remedy for every mud
hole is drainage which is the easiest
sort Of thing here among the hills.
Get water Off even if it takes an
old fashioned wooden box, which
sometimes is about all that can be
used for temporary relief. They are
poor things. but in places they pay
for themselves in a week or a day.
II necessary, put ONE in till some
thing better can be done.
/ The rains will also cause wet
weather springs, that have been dry
Ifor years, to show up in all their

else. After returning here both par
ties went about their work as usual
and kept abs bsolutely quiet until this
time Mr.. and Mrs. Sewell of course
were put under oath not to breath

OFFICIAL NEWS DAIRY
AND FOOD C0MM|SH'

As a means of promoting fair deal
ing in fresh berries and small fruit
commonly sold in boxes, the Iowa
Weight and Measure law makes it
compulsory to sell these fruits in
boxes having an interior capacity of
ore quart, pint or half pint dry
measure. The use of boxes of any
other capacity is prohibited even
when such boxes bear a statement
as to the quantity they contain.
The use of boxes of standard
sizes with raised bottoms is not pro.
hibited; on the contrary their use
is strongly recommended by Dairy
and Food Commissioner, w. B. Bar
ney. He points out the fact that the
raised bottom prevents the crush
ing of the fruit in the lower boxes
when they are packed in the usual
form of shipping case, insures the
berries reaching the consumer in a
far better condition than when the
raised bottom permits air to cir
culate more freely beneath the ber-
ries, keeping them drier, and less
likely to be contaminated with mold
complaints in regard to berry boxes
that are not full of berries when
purchased. A box of berries when
it leaves the field is, or should be
packed full but loosely. These boxes
jar and jolt during shipment, there
is considerable settling of the fruit
and the boxes appear "short" when
received. This shrinkage is unavoid-
able and is greater ON berries that
have been shipped long distances.
AS homegrown berries require but
short hauls to reach the market,
the boxes will be found more near
ly full and less compact.

glory, and unless they are tiled out,
we shall have mud holes on hill
sides and even on hill tops. All sort
of defective drainage will be inevi-
dence and it will require no human
engineer or human agency to find
! the weak spots in our road system
Let us not complain. God Almighty
is doing apiece of engineering for
us and pointing with unerring GER
tainty to the roads that need work.
Fix the mud holes first. Work the
roads where they need work, where
they are impossible or next to i'm
passible, before spending time build
ing grades or cutting down hills.
II these rains cause us to complete
our drainage system they will be a
positive help to the cause.
Be considerate of road officials. 1t
is not always easy to get the little
hings done and it is the small neg
1ects that are responsible for the
mud holes. If there be mud hole
in your road, telephone the officer
in charge, two or three times daily
until you work out plan and the
road is fixed. Cooperate with the Of
ficers in getting help and the work
done. They are usually willing to
pay for it but they may live some
distance from the work and be at
great disadvantage. Men who live
ON the ground can help in many
ways, and it's but the part of good
citizenship to do so.

CORN BOYS AND GIRLS
IN MINNESOTA

The corn contest conducted by
tie State Agricultural College of
Minnesota has brought that state
into prominence as producer of
corn. During the last four years
nearly 5000 boys and girls have
worked hard to excel in raising corr
Scores have succeeded raising more
than 100 bushels to an acre, rang
ing from 100 to 135 bushels, which
have demonstrated that corn is one
of the great st crops of Minnesota.
For the contests the state has
been divided into four zones, North
ern, North Central, South Central,
and Southern.
This gives all an equal chance,
and as a result there will not be
a single county in the state which
is not represented in the movement
for bigger yields of corn.
The Minnesota State Fair gives
fres trip to the boy or girl who
rims in each county. This is in
addition to the large cash prize to
the winner in the county contest.
The lucky farm boy who wins in
each county will also receive Gre
dentials emitting him to member
ship in the 1916 Farm Boys Camp
and for an entire week he will in
spect the educational exhibits at the
state fair under a special instructor.
He will be shown how to equip a
modern money-making farm, and to
judge live stock.
The mem bers of Farm Boys Club
for 1915 have been chosen in coun-
W essay contests. The subject of
tine essay may be Glover, Alfalfa,
CORN or live stock. The contest
closed June 1st. The winners will
be given free trips to the 1915
State Fair from September 9Th. to
11th.
