WHOSE eoYsY

Recent investigations show that
two-thirds OF all the drunkards con-
tract the drinking hebit before they
are twenty-one years old, nearly one
third before they are sixteen. and
about seven per cent before they are
twelve. The liquor dealers know this,
and for business reasons they must
create appetite among schoolboys.
One family out OF every FIVE must fur
nish recruit for the army of drunk
ards or the trade" must go under,

their boys to help support them?

CORN is so LARGE
AN AXE is NEEDED
TO CUT STALKS

Despite the fact that in certain sec
lions continued rain and high water
threatened the corn crop and as a
result of the unusual season some
fields were not very productive. This
condition lacks much of being general
in this county. There has been some
corn grown this year that met the
fondest expectations and one man re-
siding just outside of the city limits
claims that his crop was of such a
healthy quality and large size that a
corn knife could not cut it.
The man who grew the big corn was
William Ingles in Sunnyside addition
in South Ottumwa. Mr.. Ingles has a
garden patch, but also has some
ground that he can devote to corn.
The crop raised this year, while not
large in acreage, was mighty big in
the size of the corn itself and when
cutting the stalks, Mr.. Ingles found
that corn knife would not do the
work effectively, and he had to sharp
en- the ak and use the woodsman's i'm
plement. With this he hacked close
to the soil and thus will be able to
more easily prepare his field for the
next crop.

WANTS DAMAGES
FOR Loss OF HOES
r. e. KELLY OF HIGHLAND, ASKS
$745 FROM MILWAUKEE RAIL
ROAD COMPANY. -

F. E. Kelly of Highland, has brought
suit in the district court for judg-
ment of S745 against the Milwaukee
railroad company. He says that this
amount is due him for damages to a
carload of hogs shipped from Highland
station to John Morrell & Co., here,
on May II, 1915.
Kelly says that the porkers left
Highland at o'clock in the evening
and arrived here an hour later. He
contends that the company allowed
them to stand four or five hours in the
car, with the result that he lost forty
eight head. These aggregated total
weight OF 1000 pounds and the
marked price that day is said to have
been $7.35 per cwt., which causes Mr.
Kelly to place his damages at $745.
