OSTRICH FEATHERS AGAIN.

For a number of seasons ostrich
feathers were pushed to the back
ground. This season they are brought
to light again, and after their long rest
they come forth in most gorgeous col
orings. Ostrich tips seem to be used
more than the long ostrich feather, and
these are very saucily placed at the
back of-many upturned hats. The sim
gle uncurled ostrich feathers are seen
In long lengths. and these usually en-
circle the brim or the crown Of large
hat. In one instance the whole up
per portion Is entirely plumes.

j. Kelly Pool, secretary of the State
Capitol Commission, was showing
some visitors the new State Capitol
Thursday, a hobo stole his typewriter
and after attempting to sell it at two
secondhand stores hid it in a elump Of
weeds in the river front.
Pool discovered his loss when he
went to his Office to write some let
tiers. He Immediately went to express
offices and secondhand stores and made
inquiries. One secondhand dealer told
him the man had been there with the
machine not five minutes previous.
Just then a railroad employee met
Pool and told him he had seen a mar
putting a typewriter ii d gunny sack
near the Missouri River Bridge. Poo
Jumped into an automobile for the
bridge. Seven hobos were resting
there.
"Have you seen a typewriter arounc
here?"
"No, 30, we haven't inc said.
Just then an old fisherman who hap
pened along gave Pool a wink and thu
latter followed him. When they go
out of hearing of the hobos he toll
Pool that he saw two hide something
in a sack. They went to the spot AM

WEEDS WASTE rs MILLION.
1ndianapolis News.)


Experts of the Iowa Agricultural
College estimate that weeds cost Iowa
FARMERS not less than 25 million dol
lars a year. This is a huge sum, and
if there is difficulty in crediting the
possibility of a loss so enormous as
springing from this source alone, there
need be small wonder. But the ex-
perts leave no room for doubt. They
have made careful investigation in
both field and laboratory, and they
put on record the facts that these dis
closed.
weeds" says their bulletin, ARE
harmful in a good many ways. They
consume plant food that should go to
the agricultural crop. They rob cul-
tiyated plants of sunlight. They take
the moisture so essential for a crop,
especially in a dry year. Weeds like
the morning glory pull down a crop
like wheat, corn or oats. Many OF
them harbor bad insects"

rAMnI1s MEXICO HORSE.

The last issue of Sunset magazine
in an article telling Of the JOY Zone
at the Panama. Pacific Exposition m
the well known men and women con-
nected with the concessions, tells OF
Columbus, a horse trained by Tom
Bass, of this city, and noted over the
world for his remarkable ability as a
performer
Queen Victoria of England invited
Bass to bring Columbus to her Diam
ond Jubilee celebration but Tom did
not fancy the sea trip and failed to ac-
cept. The story from the magazine is
as follows:
"Wenona and her first husband were
owners of the famous horse Columbus,
trained and ridden by Mile. Sommer-
Vile. Mile. Sommerville never laid a
whip to him, yet he was like tow IN
her nunuS. OOluiilbuo Noh "N -
expositions, in circuses and on vaude-
vile circuits. He was snow white and
thousands will remember the picture
he made in his white harness with
Mile. Sommerville in her white SATIN
riding habit. He made his last APP
pearance at the Carolina and Georgia
Fair, at Augusta. The stables caught
fire and when they got the door open,
there stood Columbus, his blanket
burning off his back. He burst through
them all, and lodging the hands clut-
ching for his bride, ran out into the
middle of the parade ground and went
through his tricks-reared and walk
ed on his knees and did the cake walk
and the high step and the Spanish
trot--his spirit as well as his flesh a
burnt offering to the lure of the show

re~sentative engineers Of the Public
Utility Commission and President, A.
P. Titus Of the Chichgo & Alton, Gen
eral Superintendent, W. M. Corbett,
Division Superintendent, and II. u
Douglass, Jr., and Chief Engineer,
made an inspection Of the track Of
the south branch line south from Mex
leo to Cedar City on July 10, 1915,
The commission reported that the
rails used in most of the track were
So and so pounds. 1t requested that
20 or so pound ones be used as soon
as practical.
The ballast on the line consists of
earth, cinders, stone and gravel. The
company has agreed to place $50 cars
of cinder baliest on the road this sea-
son.
There are SO section men and 7 "
section foremen engaged in maintain
ing the 500 miles from Cedar City to
Mexico. There is one section crew for
every seven miles of road.
The commission reports that the
track from South Cedar City to Hi
hernia, a distance of 6.3 miles is in
poor condition and has many broken
ties in the track that should be re-
placed.
The signal posts at the M. K. & I
and other crossings are obstructed
by Vegetation and many whistline
posts are similarly lost from sight
1t was requested that this defect be
remedied at once.
Between Hiberma and Fulton the
track was in good condition. There
were but few broken ties and sof
spots in the track.
The bridges are in good condition
and are heavy enough to stand branel
traffic.
The fences, cattle-guards, winl
fences and crossings planks in man.
places should be repaired and sign
should be installed at some of tn
highway crossings.
The equipment Of the line was !
good condition. The coaches wer
clean and comfortable at the time 0
inspection. The general condition Q
the road is said to be much bette
than it was last year.
Returning from Mexico, Train NJ
211 was derailed on siding at Aux
vase. Two pairs of wheels on eac
of the two coaches left the rails. tn
! derailment was evidently due to poe
tie condition, permitting the rails I
spread. Several Of the sidings al
in poor condition. The surface an
; alignment are poor and the ties al
decayed.

Mexico Motorists 10 Assist in the
Placing Of Signs Along the
Highway.

A movement has been started to
mark the highway from Louisiana to
Sedalia for the benefit of travellers.
Mayor j. W. Dry received communica-
ton from the Commercial Clubs of
those cities to know if Mexico would
aid in the work by furnishing automo-
biles for the sign writers out of Mex
leo. The letter was referred to R. E.
Race, Secretary Of the Commercial
Club, who saw the local dealers and
two, Messrs. Cornell and Mutton,
agreed to furnish machines for that
purpose. Every sign placed on the
road will have an arrow pointing to
this city, telling the distance. The
Commercial Club at its regular Fri
day noon luncheon voted a card of
thanks to these men for their help in
the work.
The poor condition Of the main
roads through Mexico was again dis
cussed and a report was made which
showed that no action had been taken
TO improve them. There are three cul-
verts east Of this city Fred Pitcher
pointed out, that are dangerous to the
traffic and should be improved to once
The narrow road from here to Cen
tralia was again considered and a com
mittee Of two, w. w. Pollock and
Fred Pitcher, was appointed to confer
with Judge Alex Carter and see ex-
actly what action could be taken Il
correct the defect. If the county re
fuses to widen the road, as it has
before, the club will take the matter
in their W hands, for no state ait
can be secured unless the road is Of
the required width.
