.LEeRAND cHAUTAUoUA CLOSES.
Affair Is Successful Despite the Bad
Weather.

Weather.
With an average Of nearly 700 peo-
pie in attendance at every evening
program, and about 800 or 400 present
every afternoon, the LeGrand chautau-
qua closed successful session Tues
day night, despite rain and chilly
weather thruout nearly the entire pro-
gram. Corwtn O'Neal, secretary Of
the association, said that the associa-
tion would probably come out a little
ahead on the venture, and that ar
rangements had already been made to
have another assembly next year, SO
successful had this one proved.
The afternoon attendance was helped
by the bad weather, as the farmers
came in for both sessions when they
could not work in the afternoons. The
entertainments were changed for Tues
day, the closing day, the Symphony
Players giving a concert in the after
noon and DR.. John r. Gray delivering
his lecture, "Out Of Work" in the
evening with a short prelude by the
players. The lecture was thoroughly
enjoyed by the large audience present.
This was the second chautauqua at
LeGrand. and proved more profitable
than last year.

forth over the question Of fair wages.
good material. proper hours Of labor,
and even verged on discussion of the
political motives Of the laboring
classes.
While the argument between union
painters and employers ragged back and
forth, the board sat in silence, neither
expressing its approval nor disapproval
Of the arguments offered. The board
members announced, following the ces-
sation of hostilities, that they could
only follow the law, and accept the
lowest bid.
F. s. Bowker. representative of the
painters union, asked the board to con-
slider the principle Of the proposition.
He declared that no contractor could
take the Job for the figure named in
the Davelaar bid, without cheating on
the quality Of the material, or under
paying his men.

River Not Very High.

In spite of the continued steady rains
the Iowa river is not especially high,
according to Hans Madsen, engineer
at the water work. There are no indi-
cations at present that the water will
go out OF it's banks, nor is there pre-
dominance of mud in the river The
fact that altho the rains have been
steady they have not been very hard
probably accounts for this condition
The lack of volume would indicate that
the rains north have not been heavy.

ISOLATION of Marshalltown thru it's at

court an amendment to the abstract OF
record in the case brought by L. Myrtle
Jones against the association. The as
ISOLATION was made defendant in an
action regarding the payment of pol
icy of insurance for the accidental
death Of Enoc Jones. He came to his
death by inhaling Illuminating gas In a
room in which he was sleeping. The
case was tried in the Polk county
courts and Judge McHenry ruled that
the association was not liable because
of the clause in it's bylaws exempting
it from liability in cases where death
resulted from anything accidentally or
otherwise inhaled. The case was then
appealed and will probably come up for
hearing in September.

Old Home Ties

Th. old home and the old
church have wonderful influ-
ence upon our lives. Ties ar,
formed in childhood that are
strong in death. Often when
people 20 away and die away
from home they express a desire
to be carried back to the old
home church to be buried. If
no such desire is expressed, the
loved ones who are living nearly
always carry out that unex-
pressed wish. If the home and
church has such strong hold
upon our lives we ought to be
more careful in the home and in
the church to make the very best
impressions, for they last thru
life.

else. Small grain is looking fine.

A deacon said to the preacher:
What makes some people al

may be that the people who
misbehave at church were not
well raised at home; or perhaps
they have very little sense, not
enough to know how to behave;
but if they have been we'll raised
and have good sense and still
misbehave thore is only one way
to explain it, and that is a very,
very black heart which has

In nearly every case, sue
cessful dairyman is a man who
finds pleasure in handling and
caring for cattle. Kindness is a
real factor in milk production.
The average COW in South
Carolina, kept under average
conditions, does not pay for her
keep. Get better COWS and care
for them better if you would
profit by them.
Skimmilk is an excellent feed
for fattening chickens or for
making hens lay. It's value for
pigs is known by all.
1t usually pays better to feed
skimmilk to pigs than to feed it
to calves, when the calves are
to be subsequently, sold for beef.
IF you are selling cream or
butter from four or more COWS,
you should be using a cream
separator. 1t is easy to prove
this by figures.
For information as to raising
the calves that are to be kept
for the dairy herd on skimmilk,
write the dairy division Of Glenn
son College.
Anv one who expects to keep
ten or more cows should begin
to make plans for building silo
