cries of Police! Police!"
The door yielded and we rushed
into long hallway. Up the passage
we went until we came to another
door.
An instant and we were all against
it. 1t was stout. but it shook before

On the other side of that door from

vaguely to understand that the game

Mortified by the blood that had spat-

Just then the police burst through

scarcely breathing Elaine.
From the sounds we could tell that
they had come to the private room Of
the Clutching Hand. 1t was empty

Elaine and the wounded burglar, who

GETTING AT THE KERNEL.
nCedar Rapids Gazette.]

Clifford Thorne may be something OF
an eccentric. It takes an eccentric to
be as good in his statistical line as is
Thorne. But the Iowa railroad COM
missioner certainly knows how to de-
liver the punch when he is going after
the railroads. When he first made his
appearance in Des Moines an an attor-
ney against railroads, the corporation
lawyers put their hands before their
faces and grinned. Thorne doesn't
cut very imposing figure. Strange to
say, some Of the keenest men the
world has known couldn't have come
within a mile Of taking the BOBBY
prizs ct c third class beauty show.
But after the then almost unknown
lawyer had unwound few reams of
facts and figures, which he had stored
away in his queer shaped head and for
which he did not require scrap Of
paper, the railroad attorneys sat
straighter in their chairs and their
smiles turned to frowns. Mr.. Thornes
has been one of the most conspicuous
figures at the railroad rate hearing in
Chicago, and his mind likewise has
been one Of the most notable. The
other day he said to the Interstate
commerce commission:

VINO Is YOUR "n.Rso MANI"

Iowa was shocked recently by ter
rible crime committed by farm hand
Inquiry after the fact resulted in the
information that the murderer had a
criminal record and had been under
sentence in another state. This and
other instances Of criminal attempts
and accomplishment occurring on
farms in which inquiry revealed that
the accused had a criminal record and
was wanted" in other states suggests
that men are sometimes hired on
farms without precautionary attempt
to discover their character and their
past records for good or evil.
Even in this time Of telephones and
closer relations between the farm
houses and families farm is by way
Of being isolated and the criminal finds
the isolation adapted to his impulse
and purposes While it is true that
farm tragedies occur more infreqnent-
take place in the cities conditions are
much different on the farm. There the
employee is either housed with the
family or close at hand and by reason
of his employment a member of the
farm family. 1t is a situation that
should call for investigation of charac-
ter before any person is taken into
such close relations with he family.
Conditions have changed since the
time when the neighbors' sons and
daughters hired out" Farm labor is
hard to obtain and so the tendency is
to take what comes along without
much inquiry beyond ability to do a
tendency because as the farm laborers
become nomadic soma of them acquire
the dangerous qualities of nomads.
The native farm hand is man for
man about as good as his employer.
He is usually a good citizen, In the
elder days he married the daughter of
the farm and went to farming on
rented place" or took over "one of
fathers farms" on shares. There are
many farm owners and leading mem
bers of their own communities who
got their start" that way. But the
unknown and masterless man wander
ing from place to place is an entirely
different proposition and the family
that takes him in should know some
what of the man, his history and his
character. So much is indicated in
protection Of themselves and of society
in general.

THE GRIsr.

Marshalltown may Justly be quoted
at community of high class It has
no serious problem of a population
which must be assimilated and Ameri-
canized. 1t is likely that more work
ing men own and are by way of own
ing their own homes than any other
city in Iowa in proportion to the num-
Der Of Inhabitants. 1t has settled the
problem Of the saloon and thus re-
lieved itself of handicap. Wealthy,
progressive, charitable progressive,
Marshalltown and Marshall county,
perhaps approximate what city and
county in fertile and unfailing agri-
cultural section should be as closely
as any other city and county to be
named between the four seas.
And yet there is a most serious
problem to be solved by this COM
munity. When little children live in
utter squalor, unattended, half fed and
in rags. scabby with disease and COW
cred with dirt, learning little and that
Of the teachers, sleeping at night in a
litter of filthy rags, mothered per-
haps by woman Of vile character and
fathered by an incompetent, what is
the result to be? Citizenship or q
higher rate of criminal population
Larger prisons, bigger insane asylums,
extension Of buildings on the county
farms? Now is it good sense and good
to remain under such conditions? Is
it fair to the children? 1t it fair to
society? Is it just, reasonable or
economic or kind? 1t goes without
saying that disturbance of the family
relation should be made only in cases
where such need is plainly evident,
but shouldn't it be done where the
need is plainly evident in the interests
of the children, the public and even
public safety?
Inquiry develops in the case Of a
deficient and perpetrator Of a heinous
crime that he was reared in family
where the wife and mother was
morally incompetent, the father incom-
petent in certain respects and the
children had small chance for i'm
provement. Isn't it true that children
reared in squalor, under circumstance
that are almost a complete barrier to
mental and moral development are
merely grist for the prisons and the
Hospitals" the insane asylums and the
reformatories? And is it good COM
mon sense, christian kindness and
good public policy to permit these
conditions to exist?
The reform school is not in many re-
spects the proper place for neglected
child. It is however much bette,
place than degenerate home.

The Stra,vpile
Dairy Cow Ration,.

A medium sized cow weighing about
1000 pounds needs a ration like the
following to keep without gaining in
weight or producing any milk: Twelve
pounds of timothy hay and three
pounds Of wheat bran; or eight pounds
Of corn stover, six pounds OF clover
hay and three pounds of corn and cob
meal: or twenty three pounds of sill
age, five pounds Of timothy hay and
three pounds of wheat bran; or five
pounds Of timothy hay; Ave pounds OF
clover hay and four pounds of corn
and cob meal. These are mere sample
rations showing what the cow needs
for her own keep. writes correspond
ent in the National Stockman. Fur
Their, she needs all kinds of building
material to repair the breaking tissues
of her entire body, and if she is to
make milk she must have all the ele-
ments constituting milk, which con-
tains all the food elements needed by
man or beast.
Give your cows all the good hay
they will eat and If possible some sto-
yer and stray for the sake of variety.
If you have time and the patience, cut
some Of 1t fine and .noisten it with hot
water and feeding molasses to make
1t more palatable. Let them have all
the water they will drink at least twice
day. Now get some good corn and
oats and grind it into fine chop. A
good proportion is four parts Of corn
and two parts, by weight always, of
oats. To this add two parts Of cotton
seed meal and two parts Of linseed
meal and mix. Now give each COW a
generous bran shovel full Of the cut
feed moistered with the hot water and
molasses. and on top Of this give her
the grain mixture. and any COW that
is to give milk must not nave less Of
this grain mixture than three pounds.
If she gives fifteen pounds Of milk d
day give her five pounds of this grain

The pillow and the harrow should be
kept closer together in operation than
is the case with those who wait until
the field has been completely plowed
before applying the harrow. If 1t Is at
all convenient to do SO. the harrow
should be run over the newly turned
burrows before the fresh earth has
dried on the surface. This will insure
greater satisfaction in several ways.
If the ground turns up lumpy the large
clods can be crushed by the harrow
better while damp than when dry.
When much trash has been plowed

cause the refuse underneath holds up
the soil and makes air holes and pits.
The harrow will adjust the soil and ar
range the trash much more satisfac-
torily by using 1t as soon as possible

and the little pits and holes will also
fill quicker and easier. Take two fields,

One Of them never even quit his home
