Celebrated Ninetieth Birthday

Mr.. Thornton L. DeLashmutt, one
of the pioneer citizens of Des
Moines county, celebrated his nine
tieth birthday at his home 1909
North Seventh street, March /,
1915. Mr.. DeLashmutt came to
this county in February, 1885, there
being only five log cabins in this
city on his arrival here from West
Virginia. With the exception of a
year or two spent in California in
the early fifties, gold mining, Mr..
Delashm utt has lived in this COM
munity since his first arrival here.
For many years he owned and
farmed a large tract of land six
miles west of town on the Agency
road. For the past twenty years
he has made Burlington his home.
Mr.. Delashmutt received many con-
CALCULATIONS yesterday from his
friends and neighbors. He talks
very entertainingly of early days
here and has always manifested a
keen interest in the development of
this city and county In spite of
his advanced years, Mr.. Delashmutt
is in splendid health and enjoys
life with the same zest as in his
younger days.
His daughter, Mrs. Hattie B. Foxe
served an elaborate dinner to Mr..
Delashmutt's chilren and grandchil-
dren yesterday noon. Those pres
ent on the happy occasion were

An Expensive Dollar.

A short time ago the Duchess
Trousers Co., sent out cards to
clothiers handling their goods. On
the cards were spaces to be filled
with coins saying 10 cents would
be given for each button lost, Is
and SO cents would be forfeited for
other defects. A new one dollar
bill and severalcoi were displayed
in Hanly & Green's window to the
amount about three dollars. Sun
day night some one broke the large
plate glass window and took the
dollar bill. The silver was within
reach but was not taken.
1t is needless to say that every
one in passing stopped, looked at
the window and read the Duchess
Trousers advertising before they
passed on.
1t will cost about fifty dollars to
have a new glass put in the win
dow.

Know Seed First

1t was not many years ago that
when a man had a poor crop of
corn he charged it UP to Providence,
hard luck or something else beside
himself. But it is not so today.
When a crop of corn makes a poor
stand, the man knows it is all his
own fault, or very largely so, be-
cause he didn't test his seed. He
must take all the blame, or at least
most of it, on his own shoulders
The cheapest insurance and the best
insurance against a poor stand of
corn or other crop grown from seed,
is to test the seed before it is plant
ed. Then something definite is
known about that particular LOT of
seed and the prospect it has of pro-
ducing strong, healthy productive
plants. When a crop of corn turns
off fifteen or twenty bushels of corn
and a neighboring field makes
three or four times as much, the
chances are mighty good that the
crop in the later field came from
tested seed.
A rag doll" and a few spare
hours will show any farmer just
what his seed will do when it is
planted in the ground. And it will
show, too, whether he may expect
to find one. two or three stalks in a
hill, according to the plumber Of
seeds planted, or whether he may
be sure there will be a lot of empty
hills. 1t takes just as much time
and muscle to cultivate the empty
hills in a, corn field as if it were
filled with three vigorous stalks
And what's the use of blowing va
cant hills =? 1t costs as much to
make half a crop of corn as to make
a bumper crop, and the difference
between the two is nearly always a
matter of a little strip of muslin
and a bucket of water. Let US all
test our seed corn this year. Now
is the time to get ready for it.

modating and deserves a liberal

Self Sacrifice.

No man has ever sacrificed himself
in the common meaning of that phrase,
which is self sacrifice for another
alone Men make daily sacrifice for
others, but it is for their own sake
first They must content their own
spirit first. A man must feel better
for doing IL duty than he would for
Sinking it.
Take the case Of the Berkeley Cas-
tie, a British troopship crowded with
soldiers and their wives and children.
There was room in the boats for the
women and children only. The colonel
lined up his regiment on the deck and
said. 1T is our duty to die that they
may be saved" There was no MUIR
muir, no protest. The boats carried
away the women and children. When
the death moment was come the colo
mel and his officers took their several
posts, the men stood at present and
so, as on dress parade. with their flag
flying and the drums beating, they
went down. a sacrifice to duty for
duty's sake. They were soldiers with
a soldiers pride-a soldiers self re-
spect. They had to content soldiers
spirit.-Mark Twain.

Brush Your TONGUE.

Brush your teeth. By all means
brush your teeth religiously and well.
but for PHYS sake brush your tongue
too. Weld your brush backward and
forward, under and over, to the north,
to the south. to the east and west,
scour it with fervor, for it is i'll truth
a tiny forest of dense foliage wherein
turks the unseen enemy.
Every time you open your mouth a
whole regiment of little microbes
charge through the aperture and take
up quarters somewhere in the confines
Of your chewing apparatus. Seek them
out and annihilate them before sleep
enfolds you. for, fortified with an enor-
nous capacity for work. they rest not.
neither do they weary, and you may
awaken in the morning to find whole
companies firmly intrenched in the
middle of your tongue. If you can't
conceive of your own particular organ
being so invaded take microscope
and mirror and get busy.-Philadel-

constant source Of unhappiness. They

that it lies outside. It really lies with
