view neighborhood, south Of Pleasant
vile in Marion county, says that he
raised more than 100 bushels Of ex-
cellent corn to the acre this season
for the first time in all of his forty
years of experience in agriculture.
This unusual yield came about in
this manner: Mr.. Arnold was former
ly extensively engaged in stock feed
ing cattle, sheep and hogs-and had
several small tracts Of from one to
three acres on his farm that were
formerly used as feeding lots. This
season be plowed up these tracts and
planted each to corn.
In a common or dry season, he
says that the richness Of the soil
would have burned the crop to death
AS it was, cold and wet. the condi
tions were ideal and the result is an
extraordinary crop that fully matured
long before the first frost.

TWILIGHT SLEEP"
METHODS ARE USED

Waterloo, Nov. 23.-The use of the
twilight anaesthesia in major opera
tions has been introduced by DR..
Joseph A. Jerger, a general surgeon Of
this city, and with very successful re-
suits. This anaesthetic eliminates all
the disagreeable effects OF ether toxu-
emia. terrific vomiting and other CON-
plications, and It's success Is being
followed closely by medical men.
With this anaesthetic recovery from
an operation Is much more rapid than
under the ether or other general an
aesthetics. John Adams, of this city.
underwent an operation Sunday for
the removal of his appendix following
an application of the twilight anaes-
thesia. He slept eight hours and
awoke without any pain. The second
day he ate hearty meal and on
Tuesday, the third, was discharged
from the hospital. Recovery has been
almost as rapid in other cases where
the anaesthetic was used.

Ocheyedan, Nov. 23.-The state is
doing great work at the fish hatch
cries between Spirit Lake and East
Okoboji Some of the ponds are al
ready completed and the work is still
going on, the remainder to be
put in this fall. The ponds are now
planked with wood, it having been
found that cement is worthless for this
purpose Each pond has been length
ened out, and between each pond there
will be gravel walks and at the cor
ners there will be flower beds The
ponds will cover several blocks when
completed and the cost OF the ponds
and the hatchery to be erected on the
site will be $4,000. With the new
hatcheries completed and filled there
is no doubt that Spirit Lake will be
filled with game fish within the next
three years. The pike placed in the
lakes this year are developing very
rapidly and they are there in great
abundance, and this is the first year
there has been any real work along
this line.

CHILD SWALLOWS A

Nevada, Nov. ga small daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Oscar ReinertsOn,
of near Slater, met with peculiar ex-
perience and one which might have
proven very serious. While playing
with toy watch the child swallowed
it. The mother noticing that the child
was choking was unable to locate the
trouble for a time but finally missed
the watch and suspicioned the trou-
BILE. A physician was called and the
child taken to Des Moines where an
X-ray examination located the watch
in the esophagas just below the
pharynx. The obstacle was forced
through into the stomach and was lat
er passed from the body.

A member of congress need not nee
essarily be a lingo because he talks
about our national defense. Any bust
ness man who will take enough time
from his counting house to inspect
the Atlantic seabOard or the Pacific
coast will readily understand why
proper equipment of our harbors and
inland waterways for commerce or
defense is not extravaganza either in
the matter of money or enthusiasm,
but is unquestionably in the line OF
common sense We need good harbors
on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, on
the Gulf and on the Great Lakes, be-
cause they are essential to our COM
merce, which means the product of the
farm as well as of the factory, while
they also afford the medium by which
at least one-third of the revenue Of
the government is obtained.
Recently there has been much jub-
liation among waterways men along
the Mississippi valley over the decis-
ion of the state of Illinois to connect
up the Great Lakes with the lower
Mississippi river through the Illinois
river. It is an old project and well
worth the expenditure, since the miss
ing link in Illinois will make it pos
sible, if the federal government ever
awakens to the Importance of it, to
connect up in one continuous chain
the inland waterways of the Atlantic
coast with the gulf, the Great Lakes
and the Mississippi river. The ques-
ton is will the people Of the middle
west so study their own necessities
in times of peace that they will induce
their representatives in congress to
join with the representatives of the
coast states in providing such water
way connections as well provide for
common progress in time of peace and
for common defense In times of war?
Any casual observer will agree that
we ought to be well fortified in the
Hawaiian Islands. We have an army
there at the present time of about
5000 men. We have certain fortifica-
tons but there is only one harbor,
that at Honolulu, where naval vessel
or a merchantmen can run up into
dock. And even at Honolulu the har-
Dor facilities are exceedingly meager.
1t is said we might put the entire fleet
into Pearl harbor when 1t is ready,
but dry dock and dredging and some
other problems considered-th ques-
ton is-when will we be ready? If
