found themselves surrounded by wav
or and to many of them it was the
this year. Their crop losses mean
much to them as most of them are
: packing house employees who have
small farms about their homes that
give them source OF revenue TO
make up for the occasional slack times
at the plant. Those among them who
replanted after the June food face
; complete loss of their crops.
Still farther east along the K. & D..
railroad toward Sugar Creek and the
foot of Agency hill the water has play
ed havoc with truck and other field
stuff, all of which suffered in June and
had been replanted.
Not alone have the low places been
made to suffer by the water, but some
of the hill country as well. The big
,, cuts of the Burlington railroad on
Agency hill have suffered from slips
due to the excessive rains. This has
been going on for the past month and
while the railroad has thus far escap-
ed a traffic blockade there, it has been
necessary to have ditcher and work
ing force on the hill for some weeks
past. One track will slip and when
that is fixed the other is likely to have
the same trouble, but SO far the two
tracks have not failed at the same
time. The railroad officials make light
of the matter and say that it Is not un.
usual and that traffic is not Impaired

PAYS FURNITURE
BILL TWO TIMES

Rockwell City, Aug. 2.-The board
of supervisors has ordered the county
auditor to draw a warrant in favor Of
the Newton & Holt company of Chica-
60 for $500 with interest and costs
in accordance with the Judgment
rendered in federal court in June. A
warrant was formerly drawn for the
amount and paid to an employee of the
company and TIE courts decided that
the county was still held for the
amount of the company's claim. The
board also directed suit to be brought
against the ex-county treasurer who
cashed the warrant and his bondsmen
to reimburse the county for the loss.
The amount involved was due for fur
niture installed in the new court

MT PLEASANT IN
PERKINS LAW TRIAL
JUDGE HALE MAKES TRIP TO
HEAR CASES OF HELPLESS
CHILDREN THERE.

Mt. Pleasant, Aug. 1.-THE Perkins
law passed by the last general assem-
b!y and which provides for treatment
OF afflicted children under the age Of
10 years at the state hospital at Iowa
City, providing their parents have not
the means to pay for such treatment,
IS certainly great humanitarian
movement. Judge Hale came here
from Wapello last week to hear two
applications under this new law and
IN each case made the order asked for.
The first case was that of Hazel SulG
Ivan, a bright faced little girl eight
yeafs-of age, who can walk only with
the aid of crutch. She is the daugh-
ter of John Sullivan and the applica-
ton was made by j. G. McCord as a
member OF the board of education. DR..
Sternberg, who was appointed to make
the medical examination, stated that
the child was victim of infantile pa
ralysts, her right leg being paralyzed,
and that in his opinion she could be
helped considerably by treatment at
the Iowa City hospital. The order was
made and the little girl will be sent
to Iowa City at once in charge of her
father.
Inc next case was that or 1O-year
old Ralph Fem, the son of M. ].
Fem of Salem. The boy Is the grand
son of Mrs. Mary Hogle of this city,
and lost his mother only few
months ago. 1t will be remembered
that last year he was playing football
and was accidentally kicked in the
back by another player. Both of the
lower limbs are completely paralyzed
and the afflicted lad can only get
about with the aid of wheel chair.
DR.. Sternberg also made the examina-
ton for the state in this case, the ap-
plication being made by Miss Annie
e. Packer as a school teacher. The
doctor believes that the boys condi-
ton, although very serious, can be
aided by treatment. The judge also
made the order in this case.

MAY FIGHT COURT
HOUSE CASE AGAIN
FURTHER TROUBLE SEEMS TO BE
= BREWING IN BOONE COUNTY
ACTION.

Boone, Aug. 2.-That Boone county
court mouse case may be fought all
over II the decision to be rendered by
the supreme court this fall annuls the
sale OF the county bonds for $500, 900
which took place last week. The buy
er OF the bonds was the George M.
Betchel Co, of Davenport, which took
them at per cent, paying premium
Of $7,143 Four other companies bid
on the bonds.
The story Of trouble dates back two
years, when the county voted to issue
bonds for new court house. In ad-
dition to the 100000 proposition the
question was asked of the voters
whether or not an additional $25, 1000
should be, raised by bonds to purchase
a new site in the present city Of
Boone, the old one being in the town
OF BoonesbOro. The county voted for
the 100000 for new building but
said mo" on the proposition to buy q
new site as the county already owned
one. Efforts were then made by
Boone business men to secure q site
and give to the county, but 1t was not
carried out to competitor.
The case went to the courts. The
Boonesboro, or fifth ward people, as
they are now called, fought for the
old site and obtained an Injunction
against the board Of supervisors pre-
venting their going ahead in any part
OF the work. The supreme court in
June this year rendered decision re-
versing one of the rulings Of the
lower court, giving the board of SUI
pervisors chance to 60 ahead at
least ostensibly.
The final decision is awaited with
great interest. If it annuls all that
has previously been done, it will
necessitate a new election, with all
its attendant scramble between the
I'D site and the new site party.

Illinois are seeking trace of the Des
Moines auto thieves who passed
through this city this week with the

Extracts from last Sundays sermon.
More attention is paid to the child
Of today than in all human history
Modern philosophy summons US to
child psychology, the state surrounds
US with child instruction, while the
home and the church fills us with child
importance.
The chief factor We recognize in
child instruction is not the systems Of
education, as the personality of the
teacher, and We all rejoice in this re-
spect for the Oakes school faculty 1t
is also clear that the chief factor of 4
child's Importance is not in ability cx-
pressed but in the simplicity of ac-
oeptance. Here psychology comes to
our aid with the chief factor Of
child's development, as not in ability
to receive, or in external personality,
but rather in the child's desire to sat
|isfy and be satisfied.
Yet il this were all the child would
only be superior animal conditioned
by local environment; but no one can
deny that the child is ordained to re-
ligious expression and Impressions
as it unfolds it deepens the sense Of
responsibility in the mother, reclaims
the father to simple trust, furnishing
in the home unconscious reality, in the
church golden opportunity. and in the
next generation physical, mental and
spiritual progressive power.

DIR. sTRArT0N CALLED

The friends in Oakes of DR.. Strat.
ton will be grieved to learn Of his
death, which occurred at Granite Falls,
Minn., on Nov. 10th. The Granite
Falls Journal has the following &C.
count Of his career:
With the passing Of DR.. Str.tton,
one Of the early pioneers in this Sec
tion Of the state is taken from US. He
had been i'll for several weeks from
the effect Of q stroke Of apoplexy. For
q time he seemed to rally but during
the last week he failed steadily until
the angel Of death relieved him at one
O'Clock yesterday morning.
DR.. VIM. M. Stratton was born in
st. Lawrence county, New York,
March 10, 1874. With his parents he
moved to the state Of Wisconsin in
1853. He obtained his education in
the common schools of New York
state and Wisconsin and in an acad-
envy in the latter state. His medical
education was started in the UMver-
sity Of Michigan. At Ann Arbor, and
was completed at the Chicago Mcdi-
cal College. now q part Of North
western University. He graduated
from the latter school in the class Of
1869.
He started the practice Of medicine
in Ortonville and from there removed
to the old village Of Minnesota Falls
in this county in 1873. He located in
Granite Falls in 1873, where he has
ever since resided and practiced his
profession.
| While in active life DR.. Stratton's
practice was very extensive. He COW
cred territory in the early days now
covered by II doctors, his territory
extending from Glencoe to Ortonville
DR.. Stratton was surgeon for the Mil
waukee road at Granite Falls from
the year 1873 and at the time of his
death was the Oldest surgeon in poin,
Of service on the H. & d. division o.
that road. During his life time in this
city the doctor held the Offices of city
mayor, member of the school board

'ohs, pays IN important part IN the
manufacture Of each Maxwell automo-
bile.
This machine, costing many thou
sands to install, has nevertheless
helped make it possible for the Max
we'll Motor Co., Inc, to chop nearly
500 off the list price Of its car for
the 1916 season, through the increased
production capacity which it affords,
and the simplification Of t be labor
schedule in the assembly operation.
When "Pay rs You Ride ]. b.
Gronbeck, local Maxwell distributor,
was last in Detroit, Walter E. Flan-
ders, president and general manager
of the Maxwell Company, showed him
this machine-a moving platform with
tributary machinery, on which the
Maxwell cara arc assembled, on what
Mr.. Flanders terms the progressive
plan.
This progressive assembly, Mr..
Gronbeck declares, is 4 wonderful cli-
max Of manufacturing science. It oc-
cupies trip along one side of one of
the Detroit Maxwell factories. The
room is 1000 feet by 150-one-story
and flooded with sunshine.
The platform progresses % inches
a minute. At one end men roll on
this platform string of low-wheeled
trucks, each bearing bare, unpainted
frame. This frame journeys steadily
from one end of the platform to the
other, nearly 1000 feet away. Its
progress is fanked with stock rooms
from which emerge men with stead,
streams of automobile parts and units
Alongside the platform stand sevent,
gangs of men-the most skilled in tn
thousands who work for Maxwell.
Drawing on the stockroom at thei
!. immediate rear, these men install, OF
this moving frame, part by part, tn
components of complete automobile
Always the work is moving, slowly
steadily. At one point the platform
meets an overhead railway which sup
plies, at exactly the correct rate. Al
automobile body for each chassis.

frame to become the complete auto

and into the hands of the tester 70
. final adjustment, under actual run
ming conditions. Under manufactur
ing conditions in vogue still in man
plants, this assembly process woul

turing like this, and of 4 similarly in
, tensified order, are the elements this
are bringing down automobile price.

: he believes, it looks as il the produt
a tion sharps have brought efficiency IN
: standardization to very near the pei
fiction point. Whether or not futur
years will witness similar progress
