ICE SUMMER NECESSITY.
In Olden Times Foods Were Kept
Cool by Hanging Them Down
Wells.

Many of the older people can re-
member the times when ice was con-
sidered luxury. People would keep
foods cool by hanging them down
wells, or putting them in cans or
covered pals partly immersed in
water, and placed in cool cellars.
With care the old fashioned families
thus kept supplies quite well.
Perhaps one reason was that the
old timers had food that was in bet
ter condition for keeping. With milk
and butter from near by farms, the
food was in the best possible shape
when it reached the home. Nowadays
such supplies are carried great
many miles, and they need careful
refrigeration from the moment they
reach the home. The family that
does not have ice is apt to lose good
deal of food, or else to have to use
it after it has begun to deteriorate.
The average American family uses
ice in an unhealthful manner. Uu-
limited drinking of ice water is a
purely American trait that has never
been common in other countries. In
other lands motives of economy check
it's use, which saves the stomach as
we'll as the purse. A certain cooling
of water is very healthful. But it can
be accomplished much better by
keeping in in jars in an ice box, rath-
er than by breaking up cakes Of ice
to place in the water.
The free distribution of ice to
poor people has proved useful
charity in many places. No doubt it
has saved the lives of many infants
who otherwise would have had to
drink tainted milk. The way the
children of hot and crowded cities
flock around the ice carts is a revel-
alton of what the poor must suffer
in hot weather.
Prices or Ice seem to increase Ill
most places. This has hit hard at the
comfort of many people. Now that it
is regarded as a necessity its con-
sumption has greatly increased. Its
value is mostly in labor, which costs
high at present. Apparently ice is des-
tined to remain at a high cost. Kind
hearted people can find many cases
where real suffering is caused by the
lack of it.

CHICKEN WITH THREE EYES.

Combs, But Eats and Acts

Max Shuster of Mckinley, Wis,
claims the most remarkable freak
chicken ever Matched in that vicin-
ity. The bird was Matched on Shus-
ter's farm and while it has but one
head, that fine top piece is decor
ated with three eyes, two combs and
a bill and a half.
The bird is normal except for the
remarkable surerfluity of features,
and eats and acts just like the 9th.
er chickens. In fact, Shuster de-
clares that it's extra eye enables it
to see stray bits of food that escape
the others, while the extra half bill
is no handicap.

THEY STOLE THE BEER.
Robbers Solve Problem of Deacon
Deputy Who Has Beer i'm His
Custody.

Shenandoah, Ia, Aug. 23.--Mo-
florists stealing the beer from the
home of w. o. Boylan, superinten-
dent of schools and deacon in the
church has added another chapter
to the interstate beer affair at
Northboro, la. Mr.. Boylan had the
liquor in his possession and could
find no precedent as how to dis
pose of it without hurting his good
name. He had been appointed depu-
ty constable and seized the beer de-
livered in Northboro for one James
league of Westboro, Mo-, on a writ
OF attachment for alleged debt to
the Northboro Lumber yard.
He couldn't legally sell the beer,
give it away, pour it out, and he
wouldn't drink it. Just as he was
wondering what he would do,
along came the robbers in the car
one night about midnight and APP
propriated it.

PARACHUTE FAILED TO OPEN.
Aeronaut Fell 1900 Feet and Was
Unhurt

The Hoodoo is following Captain
Wright, the aeronaut, who is max
ing daily flights at the fair grounds
at Iowa City. Wednesday afternoon
he failed to get away on the first
try. Then Thursday afternoon, with
the weather almost perfect for a
flight, he got away in good shape
and rose to a height of about 1900
feet, when he was to make the par
achute drop.
But the parachute would not be
loosened from the big gas bag. OBJ
servers watching him through pow
erful glasses, saw him Jerking the
rope which lets loose the safety
Device" and they wondered what
was the matter. This was not ex-
planned until Captain Wright land
ed with his balloon on the roof of
the Shrader drug store, when it was
found that the rope, which tied the
parachute to the gas bag had been
tied in a "hard knot instead of
slip moose.
Captain Wright stated that when
he found that he could not get his
parachute loose, he felt as though
he was making his last flight. How
ever, the big gas bag remained up
right and landed him without even
bruise.

killing Fowls That Trespass.

The editor of The Iowa Farmer
is in receipt of letter from a sub
scriber asking whether or not he has
right to kill tame pigeons thar
visit his hog pen. The pigeons be-
long to neighbors who have hog
cholera on their premises. Most as
suredly a farmer has a right to
shoot pigeons caught in the act of
trespassing. In fact the farmer
who fails to exercise this right is
doing himself an injustice. Pigeons
are undoubtedly instrumental in
spreading hog cholera just as they
were in spreading the foot and
mouth diseask. The law gives a
farmer authority to protect his
stock against such intrusion. The
same principle is involved exactly
that gives man right to shoot a
dog caught in the act Of killing
sheep. The supreme court Of Iowa
recently handed down decision in
which it was clearly set forth that
deer caught in the act Of Destroy
ing crops could be killed in spite of
the game laws Of the state. The
court says that the same principle
is involved when a neighbours chic
kens persist in destroying a garden.
The deer or the chicken must be
killed while in the act and not the
day after and when SO killed the
carcass must not be eaten but
thrown into the highway or on the
premises of the owner. The same
law pertains to killing pigeons that
trespass.

Laborer Saved 5000 in "a Months,

Waterloo, Ia, Aug. 23.-That
America is indeed the land of OPP
portunity and the place of acquiring
quick wealth, even for unskilled
foreigners who do not speak the
English tongue, is simply shown
by testimony given by Dan Curubi-
ga, Serbian laborer, at the prelim-
mary hearing of Eli Petkovich, who
is accused of having stolen $41O,
which Curubiga had kept under a
mattress. The men occupied the
same room at a boarding house.
Currubiga, who has been in
America but two years, having
come almost directly to Waterloo
and been employed in the Illinois
Central shops, says he saved $500
in twenty-four months.

At Coggon a young man got in
arrears for his room rent. During
the night he lowered his trunk from
a window by means of a rope, in
tending to skip out. The landlady
was too sharp for him, however. Sh9
had placed a bell on the stairway,
and when he went down the stairs
in the darkness he stumbled over
it and alarmed the household. She
took possession of the trunk and
will hold it until the bill is paid.

Don't you joke with US, John, we
want to know
Il have already told you, but /
haven't told you the whole story just
as it happened to me. You fellows
recollect bought big bunch Of pigs
just about the time school opened.
Well they were as nice a bunch as |
ever saw, so 1 wanted 'em to be fed
right. My regular hand, OF 81, was
sick, so had to hire new man to do
the feedin'. While 1 was lookin'
around 1 put the hogs in that clover
field down next the school house so
they'd have grain enough an plenty
of water
81 reckon you boys think I'm takin'
a long time to tell you the story, but
believe it'll change your ideas about
the school like it did mine. Well, the
day put the hogs in on the clover a
nice lookin' youngster about Is years
old come over to hire to me an feed
the hogs. l talked with him an he
was bright all right, but he never had
fed hogs. He had worked on a farm
an he had pretty good education,
an wanted to hire him, but you see
was afraid to risk feedin' a lot of
corn to pigs that stood me five hun
dred dollars in hard money"
Il don't blame you," remarked one
of the men, "but how did that make
you decide you wanted to be trustee p"
I'm comm to that now. After the
young man had left an I'd finished
feedin' the pigs, went over to the
school house as l was so close by.
When l went in the door l reckon
was still thinkin' about the pigs an
the young man l was afraid to hire.
At any rate 1 looked over the room.
My children and your children goin'
to school to a mite of a sweet little
girl of Is. I'd known her nearly all
her life an was certain this was the
first school she'd ever taught. knew
she's only finished goin' to school her
self last year.
For minute l felt like a fool be-
cause 1 knew I'd been afraid to trust
the feedin' of my hogs to a youngster
without experience an yet here were
four OF my own children goin' to
school to an 1S-year-old little girl
without any experience.
That's the reason 1 told you l w&s
learnin' to love my children q new
way, an that's the reason I'm goin' to
take time to be trustee so 1 can see
that my children an your children get
a fair square deal from now on"

Got the biggest piece of news yet,
yelled Dave Thurman as he rode UP
to the old blacksmith shop at Ash
bottom.

mo, you're jokin', Dave. John, he's
too busy a farmer to bother with bein'
school trustee, besides he hasn't got
any kin folks teachin' school that
ever heard of"
THAT may be so, but 1 got word
about it mighty straight His wife
toP mine he was goin' to run an l
reckon that's just about as straight as
anybody could get anything. Here he
comes now on his OF bay mare, an
you can ask him for yourselves"
When the tall, fine-looking man had
given the blacksmith some instruc-
tions concerning the mending of a
doubletree, he turned to the men and
said:

I'm out for the Office of school trustee

but we couldn't hardly believe it," an
swered one of the neighbors.
Why not?"
We'll, because mighty few men ever
wanted the trouble and bother of wor-
ryin' with a young teacher an a lot
of children. Besides there amt a
penny in it an plenty of hard work if
the man does his duty"
The candidate sat down on the
frame of the grindstone under the big
elm and quietly crossed his legs. For
a time he was silent with an odd, bit
ter smile on his face. At length he
arose and said:
"Any one of you men would fight if
anybody told you that you really didn't
love your children, wouldn't your"
The men about him nodded their as
sent and he hurried on.
you do love 'em; l know you do
because l love mine, too. But boys,
there's ever so many ways Of lovin'

dren have been goin' to school out at
