SOIL SURVEYS IN IOWA.

The United States Department OF
Agriculture will send representatives
OF the bureau of soils to make a
complete soil survey OF Scott County,
Iowa. Similar surveys are now in
progress in Clinton, Sioux and Van
Buren, counties The surveying par
ties, it is expected, will take several
months to complete the examination
and mapping of the soils of these
counties.
The department requests co-opera-
ton on the part Of farmers and land
owners with the federal soil survey.
They should be given facilities to
make borings and sample the differ
ent soils. They are provided with
credentials which will be shown up
on request.
AS soon as they have completed
their investiga tons, they will make
large map showing the various kinds
of soils and their location by means
of colors and shading. This map will
also show the location Of the princi-
pal roads, schools, churches, rail-
roads and water courses.
Accompanying the map will be
complete report on the nature Of the
soils. their suitability for growing
various crops, and suggestions for
their improvement by fertilizers, COW
err crops and crop rotations. This re-
port and the map will not be ready
for circulation for some months and
after completion of the survey.

EIIIIER'S EARTH

A report just made public by the
United States geological survey de-
clares that the fuller's earth industry
showed considerable progress in 1914,
with an increase in both output and
value, compared with 1913. The pro-
duction advanced from 3S,594 short
tons in 1913 to 4O,9S1 short tons in
1914, and the value from S369,75O in
1913 to s403.646 in 1914, according to
Jefferson Middleton Of the United
State geological survey.
Fullers earth is found in sixteen
states and was produced for market il
1914 In seven-Arkansas, California
Colorado, Florida, Massa chusetts, and
Texas. South Carolina dropped out in
1914 and Texas re.entered the list of
producers, making the number of pro-
ducing states the same in 1914 as in
1913.

mineral oils is to dry the earth care
fully, after which it is ground TO suit

through which the crude mineral oils
are allowed to percolate slowly AS a

EARLY TRADER IN IOWA.

Tradition has it that the first log
cabin upon the present site of Keo-
kuk was built in 1920 by DR.. Samuel
c. Muir, graduate of Edinburgh uni
yersity, says "The Iowa Journal of
History and Politics." He is said to
have married Sac Indian girl who
saved his life while engaged in the
Indian trade, and it was while he him
self was performing the duties of sur
geon at Fort Edwards just across the
Mississippi in Illinois that he con-
structed the cabin for the accommo-
dalton of his Indian wife and five
children. Muir seems to have lived
at the Illinois lead mines for some
time; indeed, in 1919, he was there
selling merchandise furnished by
George Davenport of Rock Island. One
year later, in August, 1890, the ex-
plorer, Schoolcraft, found him trading
goods for lead on an island opposite
the old mines of Julien Dubuque. Ira
dition also tells us that later Muir re-
signed his post at Fort Edwards and
after leasing his log cabin to Otis
Reynolds and John Culver practiced
medicine for several years in north
ern. Missouri and later at the Galena
mines. Certain it Is that Muir traded
with the Sac and Fox Indians for at
least four years after 1920.

Our Pacific Press,

Cedar Rapids Republican,: The es-
taemed Sioux City Journal refers to
this paper as about the most belIig-
erent among the daily papers of Iowa.
This shows how docile the press Of
Iowa is. If the papers are all less
warlike than the Republican and the
Times, then there cannot be much
war spirit in Iowa, fo- the Republican
and the Times are praying daily and
hourly for peace. But it must be
peace with honor and by being firm,
as the president has shown himself
to be in this emergency, We believe
we are in the way of securing peace
with honor.

LUCK.
A little bit of effort, a little bit OF
thought,
A little bit of daring and Of pluck
A little bit of courage in the night
that's being fought,
And this is often looked upon as
luck.
A little bit of vision, and of faith, a
little, too,
A bit of stern resistance when you're
struck,
A little bit OF purpose in the work yol
have to do,
All this is in the masonry of luck.
A little bit of wisdom, and the magic
of a smile,
Some real determination when you're
stuck,
The grit to keep on going till you
make another mile,
Are cataiogued and labeled under
luck.
The wish to travel pathways that
were never trod before,
To hold the line against the foes
that buck,
To keep the spirit beating when the
flesh is weak and sore,
All this is in the parentage OF luck.
To do the right when wrong would
seem to fill your purse with gold,
To cling to truth, nor fear the
devils muck;
To play your part unselfishly, be ever
brave and bold,
Herein you find the mystery Of luck.

BEST THEATRE.

Today-The admirers of Fr.tzi iScheff will welcome "Pretty Mrs. Smith" The play was written by lElmer Harris and Oliver Morosc.. and produced in association with
 BosFworth, Inc. It deals with the complications which would naturally arise when a pretty woman marries first an austere clergyman, then a romantic poet, who woos her souY- fully, and last a wealthy club man,
 who, in his leisure, has acquired many unpleasant qualities. Each husband, as anxious to dissolve the compact as Mrs. Smith. has made the impression upon her that he is deac. By some strange coincidence. each
 husband becomes obsess5d with the thought that he must find his wife and become reconciled. This happens in the last act when Mrs. Smith goes
 with her friend Letitia to hotel wh;re she hopes to get repose after leaving her third husband. The
 scenes which fellow, whilo exceed
 ingly complicated, work out to the
 entire satisfaction of Mrs. Smith.

GERMAN AIRCRAFT RAIDS
KING AND QUEEN HAD LEFT
SANDRlNGHAM PALACE BUT
SHORT WHILE BEFORE.
No Damage at Sandrinsham But
Some Women and Children Are
Killed in Nearby Towns.

London. - German aircraft made
their long threatened raid on England
and attempted to blow up with bombs
the Kings Royal residence in Sand
ringham, County Norfolk.
King George. and Queen Mary, who
have stayed at Sandringham with
their family, only the day before re-
turned to London.
It is not definitely known whether
the raiders were Zeppelins or aero
plans, but zeppelins were reported
as passing over. the North Sea in a
westerly direction and some believed
these were the raiders.
The night was dark and cloudy,
which made it impossible for the peo-
pie in the town over which they pass
ed to distinguish even the outlines OF
the raiders, though the whirr of their
propellers and the droning Of their
lSaeesseegs could be heard.

Bombs were dropped in Yarmouth,
Kings Lynn, Sanaringham, Cromer,
Sherringham and Beeston. Every,
where, except at Beeston, casulties
and damage to property resulted.
The first place visited was the wide.
Unknown seaside resort and fishing
town of Yarmouth.
4 man and woman were killed, a
number of persons were injured and
much damage to property was done
by the raiders. Their visit lasted less
than 10 minutes.
Four or FIVE bombs were dropped in
Yarmouth. When the attack began the
authorities gave instructions that all
lights be extinguished and other pre-
cautionary measures were taken. Few
signs Of panic were seen during the
raid.
Apparently the raiders after visiting
Yarmouth, flew over Cromer where
they dropped bombs and then went to
Sheeringham and Beeston. Slng
inland from there they made S4nd-
ringham, dropping explosive missiles
there and at Kings Lynn, where a
boy was killed and a man, woman and
child were injured Two houses
were destroyed.
The damage at Sandrigham has
not been reported 1t is known, how
ever, that the Royal Palace was not
harmed. A bomb penetrated house,
but did not explode.
