and efficient employe of the Cedar Falls

~ Losses Enormous.

Take the losses which the farmers
Of Iowa will sustain this year on their
hogs alone. They raised last year
$4,000 head. If threefourths OF
them were matured to a weight Of $50
pounds each, and marketed this year
at the average price paid on the Chi

the Iowa farmers alone on the corn

these hogs would total s5,O000o0. For
tunately for the farmers of Iowa they

vailing price Of yesterday, but they
have all sold their hogs at much
lower price than they should have re-
ceived for them. Instead of sustaining
loss. II they had received the same
percentage of profit which they real
lied in 1918. of $3.65, per hundred

their hogs, they would have realized

A Womans Reasons Against Further

The American Magazine has
been offering prizes for the best let
ters on the subject, "Shall We Arm9''
The publishers announce that the vote
stands at the ratio of four in favor of
increased armament to five against it.
In the May number the prize winning
letters are published. Following is an
extract from strong letter against
armament, written by Mary s. Mark
ham, of Sioux Falls, South Dakota:

The Choice and Preparation of Mushrooms

The mushroom family is so large
that it is not surprising We continually
mistake near-edible ones for their
savory and nourishng relatives.
The fear of poison deters many of
us from making use of the species that
abound in pastures and woods and it
is an important matter to have the real
standing of the fungi made clear. But
just as all signs fail in dry weather, so
do all mushrooms seem treacherous.
1t is claimed that repeated washing
with cold water removes the dangerous
quality from most varieties and that
boiling dissolves out the rest. 1t is
well known that water in which any
sort of mushrooms are boiled is poison
GUS so there may be some truth in this
claim, but the safest way is to- only
use variety that you know positively
to be harmless
Even with every precaution taken
fatalities from this food are numerous

erous quantities.
There are many ways suggested to

The cultivated varieties give little trou.

good mushrooms is to buy them.

The Play

The throngs that jostle in the street
Are people in a play,
The tragic and the humorous,
The grievous and the gay;
Youth and doddering dotard,
Moonlight, storm or sun,
Ring up the magic curtain,
The play has just begun.
Sweet melodies insistent
Pervade the mise en- scene,
Sunshine clothed in shadow,
Snow white or willow green;
Heroes, clowns and villain,
Dusk browns the weary sum-
Ring down the twilight curtain,
The play of life is done.
