Heillsheim, an experienced hardwood
sawmiu man of Richland Center,

antique oak material more than 200
years old.
! The prisoner is Frank Meyer,
yviolin and expert cabinet maker.
The wood he is using came from Ger
many fourteen years ago. 1t was an
old chest bearing the inscription
ammo 1913" So old is the wood
that it is black and much resembles
walnut. In the days of it's first use
there were no iron nails and the
pieces were put together with wood
en- nails, slightly larger than lead
pencils.

CHILDREN TEST SEED CORN.
Rural Schools Will Probably Play
Big Part i'm College Seed Corn
Campaign.

Rural school children will be util-
lied in making tests in their coun-
ties for the big seed corn campaign
which the agricultural extension de-
partment of Iowa State college has
organized. This campaign aims to
locate, select, test and distribute
enough seed corn for every farmer
who needs it in as many counties as
funds will permit.
The agricultural extension de.
partment will furnish an agent to
counties interested enough to or
ganize county and township commit
tees to aid in the work. The depart
ment will pay the agents salary for
a period of four weeks, while the
county organization will pay all Incl
dental expenses.
The agent will direct the work Of
locating, testing and distributing
the seed and will urge the county
superintendents, school superinten-
dents and rural teachers to conduct
seed corn tests in their schools. Each
pupil will be asked to select one
farmer for whom he will test seed.
Definite methods of securing this
service and plans of organization
can be had by writing to the agri-
cultural extension department of
Iowa State college.

Death Takes Old Couple; Are Buried
in One Grave.

Nevada, Ia, Dec 13.-For an old
couple to die at approximately the
same time and be buried together at
one funeral is unusual-but such was
the case down at Huxley. John o.
SEVERED, so years old, died Thurs
day of old age after an illness Of
about three weeks and his wife, who
had been sick for about ten weeks,
died fifty hours after her husband.
Mr.. and Mrs. SEVERED were buried to-
gether in single grave at the Pales-
tine cemetery last Wednesday after
noon.

MILLIONS FOR
OUR HIGHWAYS
Federal Official Approves Use Of State
Convicts for Work on
Public Roads.

We are spending money on our
roads with rather free hand. Last
year our total outlay, In money and
labor, was In excess OF $2O5. 900 900,
and think we are safe In saying that
the aggregate will reach 1926, 900 900
this year or more than an average of
800 per mile for every mile of high.
way throughout the United States.
This average looms mp as a rather i'm.
pressiye figure when ! say that. accord
ing to the best information available.
20 per cent of the roads In an average
county carry so per cent OF the traffic.
This great annual expenditure. there.
fore. II prorated on the basis Of the
really important roads. gives an ay.
erage Of something like $500 per mile
per annum.
Our system Of road management Is
admittedly wasteful and inefhcien; ex.
cept for the few shining exceptions
here and there, and | firmly believe
that with good business methods and
skillful supervision We could save not
less than S5O,OOO,OOO per year and oh.
tain better results than we are now
ob.aininc
An exceedingly important factor
which has come into prominence In
solving our road problems during the
past ten years is that OF convict labor.
Many Of the States are using their
conyicts In the building OF roads and
In the preparation OF road materials.
and congratulate the state OF Georgia
on her lead Of all States In this re.
spect, for Georgia, understand, now
has great road working army OF
more than 5000 conyicts, which are
rapidly transforming the road systems
Of the State. We have estimated that
the to.al convict labor days on road
work throughout the United States In
1914 will exceed 100000.
As indicating the trend OF this
movement may say that during the
year the States OF Ohio. New York.
Wisconsin and West Virginia have
authorized the use OF convicts In this
way. thus indicating that this policy
has no geographical bounds to its field
Of usefulness.
! wish particularly to call your at.
tention to the work Of the United

suits which We have accomplished.

WAGE WAR ON THE LOCUST
Russian Authorities Take Energetic
Measures to Stamp Out Pests
That DO Much Harm.

A remarkably successful campaign
has recently been conducted by the
Russian government against locusts
in Turkestan, where formerly the in
habitants, for religious reasons, did
hardly anything to check the ravages
of these insects.
Turkestan supplies almost half the
cotton used in Russian mills, and
raises other valuable crops. AS re-
Gently as 1901, locusts caused an an
nual loss Of over 100000 in this
region, and only primitive methods Of
dealing with them were in vogue.
The loss has now been reduced to
practically nothing.
The methods employed by the Rus
SLAMS include: Preparation in sum-
mer and autumn of forecast maps,
showing the position, age and dens-
fly of the egg centers of each dis
trict; treatment of the infested areas
with paris green, or, better, molassed
sodium arsenite, as soon as the larvae
appear; scorching by knapsack ma
chine of larvae in places not aces
sible to sprayers, devoid of vegeta-
ton, or far from water courses Of
sufficient capacity to keep the spray
ers going; capture of larvae in pits
or bitches.

Alone At Last.

They sat beneath a paited tree,
Beneath a painted moon;
The villain foiled. twas sweet to see
The lovers meet so soon.
They held the center of the stage;
The orchestra's soft drone
Enthralled those of romantic age
The lovers were alone.
Alone at last!" he lisped; his arm
Encircled her dear waist;
He would protect her from all harm,
AS they the spotlight faced.
Through three long acts they'd tried
in vain
To talk of love; to kiss;
But somehow, time and time again
The villain marred their bliss.
At last the curtain rustled down:
Did he then love his queen9
An, mol he asked her with frown;
What made you crab my scene?"
