STRETCHING.

Stretching is good exercise. When
q man cannot wake up in the middle
of the night or in the morning and
take a good stretch he ought to kick
himself into some sort comprehensi-
bility. A vigorous stretch in bed or
out of it is calculated to excite all
the nerves, muscles, veins and arter-
les of the entire system, thereby
stimulating the heart action and en-
|liyening the dorman brain. You may
not know that the brain sleeps. IT
requires stirring up. All the cords
and tendons in the body need rest.
They need awakening also. All the
vitals must be aroused. Stretching is
"a first rate rouser.

NO MORE DIVIDING.
Fees of County Attorney Are Cut by
Decision.

Des Moines, Ia, Oct. 25.-A blow
is in store for county attorneys of
Iowa. Those who have figured on
making considerable extra pay on
prosecution of violations Of the pro-
hibitory law won't make as much as
they expect if the supreme court up
holds Judge Wright of the Boone
county district court. Judge Wright
has held that Fred r. Hanson, of
Story county, is not entitled to ten
per cent commission of fines collected
in liquor cases. He has ordered the
attorney to return $S1 to the treas
ury, deposited to the school funds.
In contempt and equity cases the
county attorney is entitled to ten per
cent, but convictions in criminal ac-
ton entitle aim only to ten per cent
for the first 5000, five per cent for
the next $500, three per cent for the
next $500 and one per cent for all
over $1,000.
Joseph +. Wall, chief clerk of the
department which examines county
accounts, raised the objections which
resulted in the test suit. He also
discovered that the commissions were
paid from the fines. The constitu-
ton requires that the fines of this
kind shall go to the school fund and
for that reason the commission to
the county attorney must be paid
from the general fund.
Assistant Attorney General C. A.
Robbins handled the case for the
state. He expects an appeal to be
taken to the supreme court in order
that definite ruling on the law may
be had.

THE COMPETITION FOR GAME.
The Real Enemy of the Game is the
Pot Hunter.

To the man who likes to get out in
the woods with a gun, the present
sporting opportunities seem pretty
limited. He may remember when he
could walk two and three miles and
get full bag. Today it may seem
a tiresome and expensive jaunt by
railway.
There are two interests competing
for the game supply. The first is
the genuine sportsman. To him the
killing is only an incident. 1t is a
competition between his acquired
skill and the Unborn instincts of bird
and beast. These instincts are so
infinitely subtitle that the man is at a
disadvantage. Only through long ex-
perience and practice can he win
This makes the effort fascinating and
tantalizing. Success brings elation
Incidentally the open air means ply
steal tonic and exhilaration.
The real enemy of game is the pot
hunter. To him song bird that
protects the crops from pests makes
as good pie as any other He works
mostly for markets and hotels which
pay eXtravagant prices for the succu-
lent titbits Of the woods.
Hunting for the market is a temp
tation to men of rowing instincts and
vagrant habits to quit regular en-
Payments. With their daily bread
depending on their gun, the covers
are swept clean The pot hunter
threatens to end shooting as a ma
tional sport.
Hunting can not continue with
much satisfaction to any one unless
shooting for the market is closely
limited or forbidden. Let the pot
hunter go to work like other people
at more regular employments. HIS
family will be better off, The in
stinct for hunting for sport is normal
and is worth encouraging. 1t brings
health and diversion to millions of
men. 1t provides an element of zest
for the life of the farmer and all
living in wooded and marshy dis
tricts. 1t is time to stop the extinc-
ton of many declining varieties Of
wild life. These varieties have lit
tie to fear from the true sportsman
who realizes the necessity of strict
game laws, and is willing to give
game the chance to replenish itself.

LEFT MONEY IN CHIMNEY.
Note i'm Suicides Pocket Leads t.
Finding of $1,000.

Mount Pleasant, Ia, Oct. 25.-Ja-
cob Conrad, farmer of this county,
committed suicide by shooting him
self in she head with a shotgun last
Saturday. Tuesday when the coun'
ty coroner, Ralph Crane Of this city,
was making an investigation of the
tragedy, which included a search OF
the effects of the dead man, he found
in the coat pocket note telling the
finder to examine carefully the
basement of the house.
With the assistance of the brother
of the dead man thorough search
of the cellar was made and under
some rubbish another note was found
with instructions. to examine care
fully the bricks in the back OF the
chimney. The bricks were sounded
and in a short time hollow place
was found.
Removing the bricks the investi-
gators found large sum of gold,
amounting to nearly $1,000. Anoth-
er note was found that bore the num-
bers of the combination of the safe.
In the same was another note, du-
plicate of the first, telling about the
gold in the chimney.
The money was brought to town
and placed in local bank, and Will
be turned over to the administrators
of the estate. Mr.. Conrad was
well-to-do farmer.
The reason assigned for the sui
eide was long worry over the hard
times which Conrad thought were
bound to follow at the close OF the
European war.

Willie's Essay on the Head.

The human head is located at one
end of the body and the feet at the
other. The head can be told from
the feet by shaking If the thing
you are shaking is empty and rat
ties it is a head, if it don't rattle it
lis feet.
Mems heads is held onto their
shoulders by Adams apples, while
wimmins' is united to their shoulders
by swan-like necks, that show the
marks of the pin feathers awl too
plane.
The front of the head is face,
and the back is body of nothing,
entirely surrounded by hair-some-
times. When man is bald it is
hard to tel which is the front and
which is the back, but intelligent
person can always tell in this man
ner: The front is full of holes,
while the back is not.
Faces is useful for many things.
They can be used for garden for
growing whiskers, backgrounds for
paintings, incomes for BARRIERS,
blocks for setting under hats, mir
rors for rejecting emotions, and
patterns for valentines. They can
also be used, when they are OF the
female variety, for differing up the
covers of magazines.
Heads is divided into many kinds,
among them being swelled head,
pumpkin head, egg head, head OF
lNavagashun, sore head, barrel head,
and head of the class, of which
know very little.

Summer Resort Business

Progressive communities everywhere
are alive to the fact that this season will
see thousands of city people seeking an
outing in this country, shut off as they
are from customary summer trips TO
European resorts. Rutland and other
sections of Vermont will do well to show
enterprise in this direction. There ought
to be several thousand new visitors to
this state this year as result of eondi-
tons that exist, and the probabilities are
that those who come, If they are we'll
taken care Of, will become regular visit
ors to Vermont. 1t is peculiarly time
to strike for an increase of the summer
resort business, and enterprising Yer
monters should be after their share of it.
