Trapshooting is amateur sport

they travel hundreds of miles to

OF the 900 shooters entered,
700 live in cities outside of Chi

each shooter at 81 day for lodg-

TAKES OUT FIRST PAPERS.
Pastor Wants to BE

Marshalltown, Ia, Sept. al
though he has been in this country
since 1901, the Rev. C. H. Morris,
pastor of Central Church of Christ,
in this city, yesterday took out his
first papers to make him a citizen of
this country.
Mr.. Morris is a Canadian. He was
educated in Des Moines, at Drake
university, and has been a pastor
here several years. He has delayed
taking out naturalization papers for
the fear that some day conditions
might be such that he would have to
return to Nova Scotia, but these con-
ditions have now been removed and
he is anxious to become a citizen.

Great Milk Producers,

formances. Forty-two COWS give be-

milk per COW year. At the head
of this herd stands the worlds cham
pion, the famous Dairymaid of Pine
hurst, with a record of 1926 pounds
of milk and 910.67 pounds of butter
fat, or 1900 pounds of butter year.
OF twenty COWS none produces less
than 5S4.53 pounds of butterfat A
year, ten average above $50 pounds

two above $50 pounds.

How Much Pasture?

How much land does it take to
support COW, or horse, or a hog?
Rather important questions to every
one of us, but not so important as
the query: How much land does it
take to support a person? A recent
survey made by the United States
government in Ohio seems to show
that it costs on the average $197 to
house and board each person on the
farm. That is, the husband, wife and
three children must have an income
of $685. if they live as well as the
average. This is the income in dol
lars and the eXamination-on forty
four farms-indicates that it takes
forty acres to pasture" a person.

HOME PATRONAGE WEEK.
Goods to be Displayed
Second Week i'm October.

Iowa is going to have a Home
Patronage Week according to the
plans of the Greater Iowa association
1t will probably be set for the second
week in October and the necessary
details are being worked out at the
headquarters today.
First, the association is accumu-
lating thousands of pledges from
Iowa's retail merchants, each one
agreeing to devote one show window
to the display of Iowa made goods,
exclusively during that week. These
names are then classified into the var
ious businesses and occupations and
sent to the manufacturers will endea-
vor to cooperate with the Greater
Iowa Association in furnishing the
articles for display.
The matter is then clinched by
far-reaching campaign aided by the
club women of Iowa devoted to Sc
curing pledges from the consumers
of the state in which they agree to de-
mand Iowa made goods from their
merchants. 1t is estimated that co.
600 heads of families will make these
pledges, representing at least 300,-
600 individuals.
The crux of the consumers pledge
is that the agreement to demand
Iowa made goods is subject to the
provision that the product must
equal, convenience of packages and
sanitary in price, quantity, quality,
style and precautions, goods made in
other states and countries.

MEET AFTER 30 YEARS.
Wife of Rudd Banker Finds Aged
Parent at County Poor Farm.

Marshalltown, Ia, Sept. AFTER
having been separated thirty-five
years, Mrs. X. E. Penney, wife of a
banker at Rudd, Ia, yesterday saw
her father, John DeMart, who she
had feared was dead, who for most
of the time, since 1880, has been an
inmate of the poor farm of this coun-
ty.
About ten days ago Mr.. Penny
came to this city to inquire about one
John DeMart, who lived in the north
ern part of this county many years
ago. Officials could give Penny no
information, but they referred him
to old residents of the Albion and
Liscomb neighborhood, where De-
Mart used to live. No one knew any
DeMart, but they remembered John
Demert, as he was known, who had
been sent to the county farm back
in 1880.
Following up this clue Penny WIS.,
tied the institution, found Demert
now SO, and satisfied himself that he
was his wife's father. Records were
looked up, and the proof became pos
tive. Mrs. Penny accompanied her
husband to the city yesterday to
meet her father. The Pennys VIII
take the aged man back to Rudd,
where he will be given a good home.
