Sustains Fractures of Arm and In.
juries to Spine. Condition is
Critical.

! Guy Fargo, who has been employed
by the Charles Robinson family near
Edgewood for the past seven years,
sustained injuries which are of a
most serious nature. While Mr.. Far
go vas operating two and half
horse gasoline engine in the base
ment Of the Robinson home, he was
drawn into the machinery in some
manner and the bones in his left
arm were broken between the should
er and below and also at the wrist,
and one of the verterbra of his spine
was also Fractured and a severe
scalp wound inflicted. a.
Medical aid was summoned at once
and the injuries dressed. It is feared
that the injury to the young mans
spine will prove very serious, and is
likely to- cripple the man for life, If
! they do not prove fatal. RI
The engine in the basement OF the
Robinson home is used in connection
with the light plant in the building,
and for pumping water through the
house. Just how the accident hap
pened is not definitely known at this
time. 1t is supposed that Mr. Far
go was attempting to put the belt
on the drive wheels while the engine
was in motion, and lost his hold or
got his hand between the belt and
the rapidly revolving wheel. Judg-
ing from the injuries to his head and
back it is believed that he was
thrown violently against the stone.
wall. The injury to his head rendered
him unconscious, while that to his
spine has caused paralysis of the low
er portion of his body. ..r

JOY MEETINGS A GREAT
SUCCESS

Rev. Mr.. Montgomery, at tie re-
qest of this paper, has kindly con-
tr:buted the following regarding the
meetings conducted by DR.. Geo. FL
ingwood Joy last week Rev. Mr..
Montgomery was in close touch with
the work which DR.. Joy did in the
schools and has in an ably written
article given a concise report of the
meetings.
Mr.. Montgomery says:
''The unique campaign which DR..
George Ellingwood Joy has been
conducting in our community during
the past week came to, not only
close, but climax, last Friday even
ing. The seating capacity Of the M.
E. church, in which the meetings
were held, Was taxed each evening,
but on Friday evening a systematic
process of packing was indulged in,
until every available inch Of space
was occupied, and still quite a num-
Der were unable to gain admittance.
This was distinct and gratifying
surprise to many who had been skep-
tical about anybody being able to
gain and hold large audience
throughout the week. And DR.. Joy
not only held his audiences, but con-
virced them. and sent many a young
person, and many parent away with
higher ideals, purposes, and resolves
for life, as we'll as many practical
hints for daily use.
''Dr. Joys course of lectures were
constructive throughout, beginning
with 'The Call of a Better Day.
on Sunday evening, he laid the foun-
neral development in the home, in
which there is beginning an awak-
ening from the neglects and jgnor-
anca of the past with respect to- par
entail responsibility. The theme for
Monday evening was 'The Human
Plant in the Home" in which he laid
specja' emphasis upon the RESPONSE
bility and high privilege Of the par
ents in molding the early years of
child'r life, when its most enduring
influences are received.
Tuesday evening DR.. Joy gave way
to the Musical entertainment given
under the auspices of the High
School students, but Wednesday
evening lie resumed his series with
unabated interest, when he spoke
on The Bow Problem as We Face
It. He spoke of this critical, crys-
talizing period of boys life, when

SEEN CORN SHOULD BE TESTED,

The condition of their seed corn
is a matter which should receive care
full attention by every Iowa farmer.
Never before has there been so much
difference in quality as is noticeable
this year. OF the various samples
submitted to this Laboratory for an
alysis, but a few more than one-half
have been up to the legal standard
of 94 per cent. germinative SEEDS.
The best two samples sent in were a
sample of 1914 crop containing 81
per cent. germinative seed and a
sample of 1915 crop, testing 81 per
cent. The poorest sample submitted,
so far, showed test Of but 70 per
cent. Such variation in seed corn
will show a like variation in crop.
The foundation of the successful
crop of corn is the seed. Good
corn cannot be grown from poor seed
