PACKING PLANT FOR WAUKON
Faruers of Allamaisee County Figur.
ing on T., Getting Packing Plant
There.

For some time the members Of
the American Society of Equity ami
Others have been talking of building
a packing plant in Allamakee coun-
ty. Lansing has asked that it be To-
Gated in that city, but the prevail
ing opinion seems-t favor Wau-
kon, providing the citizens want it,.
The plant would probably cost in the
neighborhood of 100000 and give
employment to fifty or more men,
and would be big thing for any
town.
Friday a delegation of interested
farmers went to La Crosse to inspect
the Equity packing plant in that city,
which has been a success from It's
opening.
This matter will come up and he
fully discussed at the county Equi-
ty convention to be held in Waukon
February 5th and 9Th. Everybody in,
terested in securing this big industry
for Waukon should be present

OBSERVATIONS.

iBy Our Man About Town.
Every public dinner shows us n
few more people who will insist up
on eating with their knives.
Every time We hear anyone "rak-
ing" the postmaster We always feel
sorry that the public cannot come to
a realization of his thousand and one
worries. And he's "raked" more >r
less every day.
The general delivery" window.
we imagine, is the nightmare of ey-
cry postmaster. One who has never
taken the trouble to give the matter
a little thought may think 1t strange
to be told there is no mail for them,
when the postmaster or clerk does
not look to see.' The probabilities
are that he, or she, has looked thru
that box fifty times since the last
mail came in. Parents, unthought-
eddy permit their children to call for
mail, and when this is done, the
children abuse the privilege. Take a
family with three or four children in
school. Many times each one of
them will call for their mail at the
general delivery window--and not
half an hour apart. In such cases
the person waiting on that window
well knows there is no mail for the
family in question and he, or she, is
not going to look through the mail
in such cases. Often, too, children
lose mail. They should not be sent
for it when it is possible to get 1t in
any other way.
Older persons, too sometimes il
sinuate the postmaster or clerk is
ldiscourteous, even limiting that they
think they have mail, or at least
cannot understand why it isn't there
for them. Nothing could be more
ridiculous. Mail accumulates fast,
and we feel sure the postmaster and
employees are glad to see it leave the
postoffice as quickly as possible at
ter receipt.
We don't think we should care to
be postmaster.

HUNT RABBITS AT NIGHT.
Hundreds of COttontails aie Being
Slain Nv Might Riders
in Automobiles.

Waterloo, Ia, Feb. IA new
mode of hunting, dangerous to stock
and likely to result in the extermin-
alton of rabbits, is carried on in var
ious parts of the state. Automobile
parties go out at night and Stay the
cottontails by the scores. They are
called might riders The auto is
equipped with an extra acetylepe
tank and the searohlight, which may
be trained on either side of the road,
is as powerful as the lamps of the
machine. One party, consisting of
driver, searchlight operator and two
gunners, killed eighty rabbits in one
night.
Rabbits are nocturnal animals.
They are abroad at night, in search
of food, and frequent the country
highways.
Stock has been injured by stray
shots, fruit trees have been pepperetl
and shot has been fired uncomfort-
ably close to farmers homes. There
have been instances where the might
riders drove into pastures.
There is a movement on foot to
get the legislature to prohibit night
shooting, and also the use of ferrets
in hunting rabbits. The farmers say
rabbits are about the only game left
for them, and they object to the
slaughter by night hunters and by
ferrets.
The light from the search lamps is
so strong that the rabbits are blind
ed and farmers say this form Of
slaughter is .unsportsmanlike.

NEW HAMPTON POULTRY SHOW.
1t Was Big Show But The Atten-
dance Was Poor.

The big poultry show held at New
Hampton last week failed to draw a
very big crowd of spectators. The
same conditions existed in DEBORAH
at the recent DEBORAH poultry show,
which was a dandy and well worth
seeing. The following is taken from
the New Hampton Gazette:
Whenever l take up quill and
point my 'beak" at piece of
scratch paper, and commence TO
''cackle" and crow about poultry,
a thought comes to me that sticks in
my ''craw' and rugles UP the "feath-
ers,'' causing me to brood" over
the question until | feel like laying
to and throwing spur and shell"
where it might hatch" results. But,
by hen" | am too chicken heart
ed for an old rooster and I'd ne
goose" to try it, anyhow, for the
fellow who needs the "comb"-ing
would duck" anyway; so / will
merely say that it is very strange
that SO few people get interested in
tn poultry exhibits. The poultry in
dustry of this great state is the great
est of all industries in dollars and
cents, and vet scarcely a hundred
farmers visited the exhibit during
the entire week A great majority
of our farmers have gotten over the
old idea that "a cow is cow pig
is pig etc, and have replaced
their scrubs with good stock, but al
together too many still think that
any old hen is good enough and th3t
all she needs is a snow drift from
which to quench her thirst and a ma
nure pile from which to scratch her
living and dig out surplus from
which to manufacture eggs. Under
those conditions hen is hen"
but a good full-blood properly cared
for is something-sh becomes an
egg machine, converting your sur
plus land much of it otherwise waste
grain into a product that sells read
lily for cash at all seasons of the year.
If the farmers of this community
would attend these shows, get inter-
ested, learn what the show teaches,
and put that knowledge to use, they
would soon learn that poultry, given
the same attention as that given
their cows, would be far the more
profitable. And again, very small
per cent of the business men of New
Hampton visited the show. They
gave most literally in money, silver
trophies, etc., in fact, few if any Of
the big shows have offered such
cups; but the show needs the influ-
ence of their presence. Every annual
show of this association is boost for
the town and every large, enthusiast
tic audience at the show is boost
for the association.

KNOXVILLE DEPOT ROBBED.
Robbers Make Haul of $135.O2 AMI
Escape.

Burglars, doubtless of the expert
variety-knights of the jimmy"
perfectly familiar with the uses and
effects of high explosives, made a
raid on the safe in the ticket office
of the Burlington Route depot in
Knoxville Sunday night, blew open
the big steel door of the money re-
ceptacle and made a neat escape, get
ting away with $135.02 of Agent
Johnson's cash. All the evidence,
Plainly visible in the manner in
which the crooks entered the build
ing, introduced their explosive into
the crack between the safe door and
its iron casing; the neat calculation
on the amount required to force the
bolts without wrecking the building,
etc, goes to prove that the yeggs
were old timers at such work.
Persons living near the depot ac-
knowledged that they heard the re-
ports of two explosions about two
O'Clock or $3.50 Monday morning.
Others heard the rumble of the hand
car but thought nothing of the mat
ter at the time.
The entrance to the Office was af-
fected by prying a window with
chisel or other flattened tool, fore
ing it until the strain broke the catch
at the cross bars of the two sashes.-
