News and Views of Pispah.


commenced this week and got black
eye the first day by a heavy rainfall.
Some farmers are not going to pull
their fodder as they believe to do so
will hurt the corn. Others take
contrary view and will gather every
blade. They just laugh at the idea
that pulling fodder when corn is
hard. will hurt it, as there is enough
sap in the stalk to completely harden
the ear. When fodder gets ripe to
pull, ii will soon dry up if left on
the stalk. What it then adds to the
vitality of the corn 1 can't see. The
whole thing is another fool thing like
many others that are broadcast over
the land.
Since the drought was broken the
seasons have been fine. If we only

NEW SHARON CHANGES
Newspaper Consolidation And Pur-
chase of Plant BY Mr.. Duboc.

Series of important business deals
have just been completed at New
Sharon. AS a result the New Sharon
Leader which was established about
two years ago will suspend after the
issue of this week, and at the same
time Mr. DubOc will become sole own.
er of the New Sharon Star. Incident
ally also Mr.. DubOC becomes possess
ed OF a fine farm in Union township
known as the w. f. Nicholson place.
Mr. DubOc has taken over the plant
of the New Sharon Leader and will
use such parts OF the equipment as
may be used lettering the Star plant
and will dispose OF the rest This
clears up the newspaper situation in
New Sharon, and makes the Star one
of the strongest, as it has always been
one of the best country newspapers
in Iowa. Along with this deal also Mr..
DubOc has purchased the interests OF
his partner, Walter w. White of Os-
kaloosa, in the Star, and now becom-
es sole owner of the plant. Mr.. White
has been interested with Mr.. Duboc
since they took over the Star from
II. }. Vail about seven years ago, ana
they have made fine success of the
business. For the past year Mr.. Du-
Doc has been ambitious to gain pos
session of the entire plant. and by
making Mr.. White an attractive Of
fer he has been enabled to have his
ambitions realized. BY these deals al
so Mr.. Duboc has demonstrated his
faith in New Sharon, and that town
may we'll feel proud of the fact that
it has such live wire at the head Of
its old and well founded newspaper.
The New Sharon Leader, which will
cease to exist this week, was es-
tablished about two years ago by
Nate and Will Eaton, and conducted
by them until three months ago when
it was sold to John H. Taylor. Mr..
Taylor now has other interests which
ale more attractive to him than the
newspaper business was, and con
cluded to make the deal. 1t is under
stood that he will remain in New
Sharon several weeks and will assist
Mr.. Duboc in making the consolida-
ton, and in getting out some work
that his plant had on hand.

ALL THE BOOZE ISCONE
The Final Chapter Is Written In the
' Big Contraband Story.

Saturday witnessed the closing
chapter in the story of the thousand
dollar booze seizure concerning
which so much has been said and
done.
After much effort, the breaking of
parts of drays and harness the bar
rels and cases ami slight injury to
men and teams the beer was finally
landed at the place of destruction,
the J. e. Guthrie farm on Third aven-
ue west on NJ street, permission haV-
ing been given for the destroying of
the contraband in an old abandoned
mine pit. After the trucks, hauling
the loads reached the end of the
pavement on High avenue west an
other team was added to get the load
over the roads to the coal mine
Arrived at the place of destruction
the work was taken up systematical.
ly. Under personal direction of Sher-
iff d. f. Henley five deputies worked
steadily and total of 3,24S bottles
of beer taken from barrels and cases
were broken and the contents spilled
into the big hole. This equalled
eight more bottles than 1856 cases.
Five large farm wagons, some of
them equipped as hay ricks were re-
CURED to haul the beer to town, fol
lowing seizure.
Besides Sheriff Henley and the men
working at breaking the bottles there
were plenty of other witnesses to the
destruction OF the liquors. }. o. Lima
bury, court reporter was on the
ground from the time the first bottle
was broken till the last smash was
recorded.
The scene of the destruction was
visited by many people during the
course of the afternoon. At one time
twenty-five or more people were to-
gether on the ground watching the
progress of the work.
Following the destruction OF the
beer Sheriff Henley and assistants
returned to town and the bulk goods,
whisky, gin and wine, was given to
the sewer at the west side Of the
Jail. The fumes of the alcohol created
a loud smell for little while but this
was soon washed away by turning
the hose into the sewer grating which
received the flood of spirits.
And this is the end of this particu-
lar bunch of forbidden fruit, one of
the largest distinctions of liquor in
the history of the county and it is
not likely, unler the present laws
that another of like dimensions will
be possible.

FIELD WORK BY TEAMS
The Gospel is Being Spread By En-
thusiastic Laymen.

Two engagements were filled yes
terday by the members OF the Booster
Gospel cam Part OF the team went
to Giyin and part to Evans to hold
services.
At Givin union services were held
in the Congregational church both in
the morning and evening. Union
Sunday school services we're also held
and the results OF these services were
most gratifying. In the afternoon a
union mems meeting was held and a
number Of men were shown the way
to a better life.
At all the services the church was
well filed and the congregation en-
tered into the work with all their eff
forts. During the day the young la
dies OF the church anxious to do their
share, organized a young ladies COS
pei team and are planning to enter in
to the evangelistic work
Those who were present at the Ey-
ans services report an excellent and
profitable day spent. The meetings
were well attended and a spirit OF
Christian work was ever present
This team has been doing excellent
work with satisfactory results and
they may well feel that their efforts
are not in vain, for every place where
they have filled an engagement has
requested return date and are desir.
GUS OF having the team with them
again.
At Pella week ago yesterday the
members organized a young mems
gospel team and these men are now
preparing to become active religious
workers.

/ woodpecker, known as the ivory bill
ed wooipecker, was comparatively
common in the swamps and forests Of
the gulf states. This bird was more
than foot long. shiny black in col
or, with striking red markings and a
white bill which gave ii its name. The
ivory billed wOodpeCker has been
practically eXteTminated for no 9th
er reason than that its large size and
striking markings attracted the at
tention of every gunner
That wild birds can be saved from
extinction by prompt measures is
shown by the cases of the wood duck
and the woodcoCk. The wood duck is
one of the most ornate species OF
duck in the world. rivaling the Chi
nese mandarin in the brilliance and
variety of its markings because II
nests in hollow trees and has a pc
Culiar musical note not at all like the
Quack OF other ducks. Its tameness
had at one time almost brought about
extinction of the wood duck, but the
United States biological survey and
other agencies in favor of game pre-
servation brought the fact to public
III many lllC hOOu
duck was protected for a long term
of years, and it is undoubtedly in
creasing at the present time. The
wood duck is so unique and such a
striking ornament to the woodland
streams and ponds that there is a
strong sentiment in favor of protect
ing il for all time and not regarding
it as a game bird.
The American woodcock is unique
bird of the sIipe family, which lives
in dense, wet woods. 1t is chiefly fam
GUS for the very fine quality of its
ueSh and for its anatomical peculiar
tiles. These latter include eyes set
fairly in the back of its head, so that
ii may watch the approach of enc
mics while it is busily feeding, and a
beak with a prehensile tip, a sort OF
proboscis, by means OF
which ii gets a grip on the slippery
angle worm and pulls it out of the
mud. A strict diet of nothing but
worms makes the woodcock an eX.
tremely delicate morsel, appreciated
by epicures the world over. Further
more, he has a swift, erratic flight
which makes him one OF the most diff.
ficult marks, so that If given a fair
chance he will prevent his own exter-
In fact. wood cocks are now
increasing in many sections.
These examples show that the ex-
of species may be pre-
vented if public sentiment is aroused
in time. The growing interest in all
outdoor sports will probably save
many other American game birds
from destruction, by creating a gen
eral appreciation of their value.

PROPERTY IS PAID FOR
And Prosecution for Automobile Ac-
cident Is Dropped. "a 81

Private settlement between Ray
PARCEL and Harley Comstock for the
injury to person and property of the
former was effected Friday through
the efforts of Mayor Harold MIR.
Comstock paid Mr.. PARCEL $1,000 for
damages to buggy and harness and
for personal injury, and no arrest
under the ordinance was made. The
case grew out OF the incident OF
Thursday evening when the buggy in
which PARCEL was riding was hit and
wrecked by an automobile driven by
Comstock.
