DIED AN OLD BATCHELOR

Isaac Delaney, aged 81 died near
Villisca last week and the following
story of his life was told in the daily
press: He seldom left the farm I'M
less it was to came to town on mat
tiers of business. He and his three
brothers, Jesse, Ellis and Dave, had
lived together and kept batch" for
forty-two years, and with the excep-
ton of Jesse, whose wife died five
years ago, none of them had ever
kept company with a woman. They
had made arrangements with the
Fryer Bros. for the use of a small
corner of their farm, constructed a
simple frame house in which to spend
their days, and while David, whom
they were pleased to call Rosie, be-
cause he did the cooking, got their
meals, and made up their beds, the
others titled the soil and looked after
their chickens, and the four were as
contented as many millionaire who
has servants to answer his call and
the luxuries that wealth can afford.
1t is said that Ellis has never ridden
on railroad train and that Dave
rode one but once. None of them
had ever seen a street car and knew
very little of medern life from per-
sonal contact"

BUYS OLD HOME PLACE

A. A. Nelson of the Nelson & Nc.
Caustland Manufacturing Company
closed a deal Wednesday of this week
with his brother-in-law, Evans j
Marquesen and wife, of Audubon
whereby he comes into possession OF
the farm which Mr.. Nelson's father
gave Mrs. Marquesen, when he divid-
ed his estate between his children
last fall.
Mr.. Nelson says he has an especial
feeling of sentiment for this farm
owing to the fact that it is a part OF
THE Old Home Place" where he was
born and raised, and where he has
spent the greater portion of his life.
The above land is a nice addition to
Mr.. Nelson's farm which adjoins it,
as the farm now lays in one square
tract. The farm is situated north of
the city, just over the line in Audi
bon county.-News-Telegraph.

SUNDAY NIGHTS FROST

Considerable damage by frost was
inflicted Sunday night in this vicinity.
Thin ice formed in a few places on
low grounds. Growing vegetables
were cut to the ground, and in many
places killed. Early potatoes that
had withstood the sharp frosts of sew
eral days ago, were killed.
The coolest points apparently were
at the lowest levels. A difference of
twenty degrees was noted at the
SUBMITS and bases of some of the
hillside garden sites. This atmos-
pheric condition helped to protect
the fruit crop, aided also by the
dense foliage.
Farm crops were not damaged to
any extent. The chilly weather was
declared to be very favorable to the
growing wheat and equally unhealth-
full to the swarms of insects that
were beginning to prey upon the
fields. Farmers said yesterday that
the frost killed more insects than it
did fruit, and was perhaps a mater
ial benefit rather than a source of
permanent loss.

COURT CONVENES TODAY

Judge Rockafellow came up from
Atlantic Monday morning to recon
vene the May term of the Audubon
County District Court. The jury
also reported for duty and before
noon jury had been secured in the
case of Hjalmar Rasmussen VS. II.
p. Hansen. This was a case invol-
wing 1921 commission the plaintiff
claimed on the sale of a piece of land
that was made sometime ago. AT
the conclusion of the testimony the
Court directed a verdict for the de-
PENDANT and the jury was dismissed.
On account of attorneys being out
of the city it was necessary for Judge
Rockafellow TO adjourn court until
Thursday morning at which time the
jurors will report for duty and the
business of the May term will be fin
ished. Only few more jury cases
are to be tried, but there is consider
able probate work which may take
several days before it is disposed of.

TOO MANY SMALL FAMILIES

Cencus returns from most of the
Iowa towns and cities disclose an in
teresting condition. Most of them
have increased largely in dwellings
and other buildings. But the popula-
ton has not bee nnotably increased.
There is a falling off in the size of
the families that occupy the houses.
1t is not unusual to find houses with
only two occupants and many are
found to contain but one. Men and
women are actually living alone, gen.
orally occupying good sized residen-
ces. There are towns and smaller
cities in Iowa where building has
been active and new houses are num-
erous, but population has remained
practically stationary.

Judge "Made Good"

A Denver judge on one occasion,
nettled By the obstructive tactics Of
a lawyer defending a case before him,
intimated that :he lawyer had very
meager knowledge Of the law. The
lawyer respectfully insisted that it
was the judges method of trying the
case and lis rulings that retarded the
case. The judge left the bench, in
vited tne lawyer to sit as judge, and
used half an hour in properly press
ing thc lawyers case as a lawyer. He
uncovered so much more law than the
lawyer en- the bench possessed that
the offending counselor stepped down
and acknowledged his error. He had
not found a good reason for ruling
against the judge in a single conten-
tior made by the latter while plead
ing.

beef should be well hung before being

they have kspt It In cold storage for
18 years. When it was taken "of the
ice," 80 to speak, and looked at by ex-
perts armed with nothing more
formidable than magnifying glasses,
they unanimously reported that it was
still sweet and sound, and apparently
lacking but little In nutritive quail

to the analysts so that they might
ascertain by scientific methods exact
ly what chemical changes, if any, it
had undergone. The now famous joint

of military contractors al Malta, who
retained It IN their cold store there
for experimental purposes until the
government took over their warehouse
soEe months ago, when the quarter
was sent on to London.
