Hunter, is now being printed on {, Du-
pick web perfecting newspaper press,
built especially for that paper by the
Duplex Printing Press company of
Battle Creek, Mich The press is ex-
actly like the one installed by the Re-
view, a year ago last spring and
prints either two, four. six or eight
pages at one time from a continuous
roll Of paper, and has d guaranteed
speed of 5000 papers an hour, which
means that 100 papers can be printed
la minute. Before purchasing this ma
chine the Hunters Investigated the
Review press and were so pleased
with it that they entered an order for
one Just like it, A press OF this kind
enables Il newspaper to print any nun
her OF pages which it may desire and
at the same time handle any quantity
of advertising matter and not curtail
the space necessary for local and 9th

pleased with their new press and find
it TO be good investment. They are
publishing an excellent newspaper,

business men of Webster City. who
use it's columns freely for adVertis-

WADE AouseR CORN CHAMPION
Record Yield Of 1901 Blu. Brines
Him State Championship and
Trip to Exposition.

| Wade Houscr. q II year old Har-
din county boy. by producing 1901
bushels Of shclled, dry corn on an
acre OF Hardin county soil becomes
lowa's champion corn grower this
year. This breaks all yield records
| in the long, series OF contests which
have been held by the agricultural
extension department OF Iowa State
college, being bushels more than
was raised by Earl Zcller. last years
champion. Wade Houser will be
sent to the San Francisco exposition
with all expenses paid as guest OF
the Eldora Commercial club.
1t is very likely that the national
championship will also come to
Houser on the basis of producing the
most profitable acre grown by boy.
Iowa for two years has held this rec
ord for the most profitable acre and
lit seems likely that thru Wade
Houser the title will be retained.
Houser is now a student in the con-
solidatcd school at Union, Il high
school senior. He won the gold medal
for grain Judging in the Union short
course last winter and is preparing
for next years contest.
Houscr's performance demon
strates that during Il bad corn year.
Iowa can come across with record
yields if correct care is given the
crop.
In a short talk with Hans Hagge
last week concerning the paving OF
those Seeding miles" on the Lincoln
highway, he voiced our sentiments
very nicely. uc said il seems to him
that for the present the thing to do is
to get the roads to grade. gravel them
where convenient, and make disable
roads all over the country. The facing
with concrete will come later il want
cd This seems to US TO he the wise
thing, for the country iseniitleh TO have
good roads, and to pave mile now
and then would take all the funds Tor
one community leaving the others TO
get along as best they can on their
Old hill trails. However, We think, anu
so does Mr. Haggc, that The concrete
road is coming eventually, and the pre-
sent opportunity to get 4 couple or
miles ut a minimum OF cost is too Sood
a one to turn down. He favors
adopting the suggestion we made last
week-for the county to stand half the
expense. 1t will be worth a thousand
dollars to the county to have two miles
of concrete roads for the newspapers
to crow over.-Charter Oak Times.
