IT PAYS TO STACK WHEAT

Recent heavy rains created flood
conditions in many sections of the
Middle West. There has been a great
deal of wheat destroyed. One farmer
in this neighborhood had fifteen hun
dred dollars worth of wheat shocks
washed away. There is another wheat
field within half a mile of this office
where about fifteen or twenty per
cent. of the shocks are scattered and
mud soaked-worthless for market
purposes.
The farmers who lost this wheat,
and thousands OF other farmers who
have lost grain by reason OF the wet
weather, were waiting to thrash from
the shock. Next year. they say, they
will haul the wheat to the high
ground and stack it. Maybe they will,
and maybe. like the immortal Ben
Puttin-I Off, they will just wait from
day to day. until it is too late.
1t pays to stack wheat.-Farm Life.

AERIAL TORPEDO IS
EFFECTIVE WEAPON
Germans Have Powerful Death
Dealing Machine Which Is
Seven Feet Long

| The fear of overwhelming attacks
from the air, which prevailed among
the allied nations at the outbreak of
, the war and until recently, when the
comparative ineffectiveness of the Yep
pelins seemed demonstrated, is likely
to be revived and the terrifying pow
er of these monster airships fully real
lied If the reports relating to the new
aerial torpedo perfected by the Ger
mans prove to be true. The Septem-
ber Popular Mechanics Magazine, in
an illustrated article, says:
The accounts of the operation of
these torpedoes read like the fantastic
tales with which readers were regaled
before the great war became reality.
In many respects the torpedo resem-
bles a submarine torpedo and is said
to possess all its destructive power.
1t is equipped with delicate wire
less apparatus that controls its pro-
pelling and steering mechanism, and
through this every movement of the
torpedo is controlled by the powerful
wireless waves sent out from the Yep
pelin. As 1t speeds toward the tar
get the torpedo can be steered up or
down or horizontally at the will of
the operator. In practice it is simply
propelled to a point directly above
the object to be destroyed and is
then turned vertically downward and
dropped like an ordinary bomb.
THE new torpedo is said to be about
seven feet in length and to have
war head like that of a submarine
torpedo. In order to allow it to pene-
trate a roof or other obstruction be-
fore exploding, the war head is equip
ped with a time fuse that delays the
explosion for a few seconds after the
impact. Carried in the body of the
torpedo is from 100 to $50 pounds of
high explosive, enough to cause great
havoc, especially when exploded with
in an inclosure such as a building.
The torpedo is driven by two pro-
pellers at the stern and is sustained
in the air by two propellers working
on vertical axes and placed fore and
aft under the body. BY means of an
arrangement of fins and rudders 1t is
kept from capsiZing in the heaviest
winds. It Is kclieved that the Propel-
lers and other mechanism are operat-
ed by compressed air.
while this torpedo can doubtless
be made enormously more effective
than a bomb that is simply dropped
1t has one serious limitation when
launched from an airship against for
tifcations or warships. To be safe
from the fire of antiaircraft guns the
airship must either be at consider
able distance from the target or at a
great height from the ground. In
either case it would be extremely diff
icult to determine when the torpedo
was anywhere near a point directly
above the target In spite of this,
however the Germans have apparent
ly provided themselves with an ex-
ceedingly effective weapon OF offense
in this torpedo"

DANGEROUS JOBS

"One mans meat is another mans
poison says an old proverb, while
another asserts that one can get used
to anything. Both these aXoms are
doubtless true, but we venture to think
that few of our readers would care to
seek employment at any of the series
of hazardous occupations described in
this interesting article. Nevertheless,
as the author points out, there is no
lack of recruits; the risks run seem
to attract just the right type of man.
Something qf the spirit of that
poor folks on shore during a bowling
gale is found in the breasts of most
men who earn their daily bread at the
risk of life and limb, writes F. Clayton
Terriss in the September Wide World
Magazine. 1t is, perhaps, a legacy of
savage days that the dangers which
can be met by quickness of eye and
foot and hand always find men to
face them even with delight.
The readiness and courage display
ed by steeplejacks is often beyond
praise. Two men were working on a
scaffolding on a churchsteeple, and at
one point 1t became necessary for one
of them to stand on the others should
ers in order to reach a part of the
work.
Suddenly the pot of molten lead he
was -""rying was tipped over by some
pre- m, and a quantity of the boil
ins tai dropped on the shoulders
of tho man below. The pain was as
eXcuciating as it was unexpected, and
it must have been very difficult for the
victim to refrain from the start which
would have precipitated both men
into the street far below. But refrain
he did; moreover, he held his ground
until his mate could Chamber down on
to the platform again and help him
away to the relief which he so badly
needed. An act like that requires
heroism of a very high order.

NUXATED IRON
In Nervous "Rnu Down" Conditions
Free Prescription by DIR. Sauer

Most weak, pale. nervous rundown
people fool themselves into thinking
they are gaining strength by taking
stimulating medicines or narcotic drugs,
or by drinking large quantities OF
strong tea or coffee, which whip up
their vital powers for the moment, may
be at the expense of their lives later

puscles plenty of blood food-iron-and
you can throw liquors and stimulati ting

three times per day after meals will
often give most surprising physical |

A NEWER DAIRY QUEEN

The crowned heads of history never
changed so rapidly as those of the
dairy world. No sooner do we hail a
new queen, and get used to spelling
her name, than she becomes a back
number. The latest breaker of worlds
records is a Holstein COW, Finderne
Pride Johanna Rue, owned by the
Somerville, n. j., Holstein Breeders
Company, and tested out by New Jer-
sey Agricultural College.
This remarkable five-year-old COW
gave S.403 pounds of milk, testing
1,176.47 pounds of butter, in a year.
She averaged little over nine gallons
of milk a day. This milk, If sold at
the big city retail price of cents a
pint, would have brought over a thou
sand dollars in money.

A SIGN OF THE TIMES

It's the same old gospel, but there's
a new type of preacher, according to
Secretary Halpin, of the Wisconsin
Country Life Conference. Five years
ago the word farmer" was seldom
heard at any theological seminary. All
preachers were prepared for city
churches and educated to the needs
of city people.
Recent surveys have shown, how
ever, that the rural population fur
nishes a large proportion of the
church membership, and pastors are
being trained especially for rural serv-
ice.
Time is almost here when the elo-
quent, ambitious and bright young
minister will be willing to remain in
the country, refusing to be bought

Cedar Rapids, Nov 17.-Those who
have been uttering plea for leniency
in the case of Mrs. H. Alice Egbert
will find that they have been barking
up the wrong tree should they consult
Chief of Police Burgin and letter he
received Tuesday morning from the
Burns International Detective Agency.
The letter speaks Of Mrs. Egbert,
who is also known under the aliases
of Mrs. Alice Thompson and Alice
O'Connell, as worthless check passer
of note in the police world ard one
who has been busy plying her trade
since the year 1907.
She was arrested in Pittsburgh. Ia,
on Jan. "a, 1913, and again on March
81 of the same year. and sent to jail
in Allegheny county charged with
passing worthless checks. She has
travelled about the country swindling
store keepers and her operations were
recorded in the Dry Goods Bulletin OF
February, 1918, April 1918, and July,
1918.
While in Detroit, Mrs. Egbert went
into the office of the Burns agency and
asked for job saying that she had
formerly been employed with the
Pinkerton agency. and that she had
worked in New York City. Pittsburgh,
Cleveland and Chicago. She also made
the claim that she had been IN the
employ Of the Corp orat;on Auxiliaries
Company. When Informed that the
Burns people had her fill record as
passer of fraudulent checks she left
their office in disgust.
The earliest record of the woman
was made in Fort Worth, Texas, when
on May Is, 1907, she was arrested in
company with Agnes Jones for shop
lifting. The goods were found on the
person of the woman. Mrs. Egbert
was pictured in the magazine known
as 1.-The Detective" in the issue OF
July, 1907
The above record shows her reason
for not wishing to talk to Chief Bur-
gin and his staff when she was arrest
ed and confined here on the island.
