EXTRA. IOWA. THURSDAY. ST

and through scant settlements. The
tractor that recently made the
trip found bridges, graded and grav-
eled roads on part of its route
and 1T passed through a country
all settled, fenced, highly improved
and teeming with wealth. 1t re-
quires the widest kind of dream
to contemplate with any accuracy
what is going to happen a few
years in the future in this great
country of ours.
In an interview with C. C. Nell
son, the auotioneer, a few days ago,
he stated that he had herded
cattle on the ground where the
town of Audubon now stands The
thought came to me that there
is not a very great number of peo=
pie now Living in the county who
were here before Audubon was
founded. When you look at our
county today it is pretty hard to
realize that it was quite wild and
sparsely settled forty years ago.
And say. while it is still fresh in
our memories, get McGuffey Is
Fifth Reader or some book of poet
ry and read that grand old poem
/ Forty Years Ago" Although you
may not be that old as yet, still
every line brings uIp old memories
which are almost sacred. How beau
tiful those last four lines.
"And when our time shall come
|. Tomy
And we are called to go,
lIfhope We'll meet with those WE
| loved
Some forty years ago"

Making and playing with Rag Dolls
Do you know how to make and
play with a. rag doll?
It has probably been, so long
since you quit this sort of busi-
ness that you would be pretty
awkward if you tried 1T again;
SO this will tell YOU how to get
your hand in once more.
Without saying anything to any
body, get a strip of muslin about
mine inches wide and from four
to fiev feet long. With pencil
and a lath or a ruler, divide it
into squares about four and a
halt inches each way Make about
twenty OF these squares, number
ing them from one to twenty
!, Now get about twenty ears of
corn that you are expecting to use
for seed and number them also.
"A good way to do this is to write
the numbers on little slips OF
pasteboard and stick a pin through
each one and into the pdth at
the butt of an ear.
Take SIX kernels from different
parts of ear number one and put
them on square number one of
your cloth. In the same way put
kernels from each of the other
ears on the proper squares. Then
roll the strip loosely around
stick, starting at the end of the
cloth which has the most space
without squares. When the strip
lis rolled up, pull the stick out,
and slip little rubber band a
round each end CT the roll; or You
may tie "a thread loosely aroundy
each end. This loll is your rag
doll 1t is right up to date, and
not at all like the old-fashioned
kind as you can see.
The first thing to do with it is
to soak it in water for eight tc
twelve hours. This is to start
termination of the kernels and the
water should mot be too cold. At
ter it is taken from the water,
wrap it i'm wet glnny sack and
put 1T away for five or six days.
Do not let the gunny sack become
dry; do not let it get very cold at
might; and do not let the mice
4
get to it.
After tive or six days, bring your
doll out and unroll it very care
fully so as not to displace the
kernels.
Remember that every kernel
should show both a strong stem
sprcut and a strong root sprout,
bes dies the several temporary roots
which grow out sidewise. Unless
both stem sprcut and root sprout
are strong, count the kernel as
weak; and count any ear as poor
unless you get f.om it at least
five strong kernes and one weak
one. Here is where playing with a
rag doll gets really interesting.
What will you find?
Vie do not know; but if the
reports which are coming to The
journal are correct, you will find
that from one-fourth to three
fourths of your ears are not good
for seed and should not be used
at all.
Suppose you try it and find out
whether your seed is as poor as
outsiders are telling us it is.

 Jurisdiction.

After being released on bond, re- arrested and released again, II. B. D. Wilson, who shot and killed Rol- ton Wilson, his nephew, on March lG. and Mrs. Ida Wilson, his wife, are fl eed from the Faulkner county jail where they have been confined since shortly after the tragedy, and left this morning for Little Rock where they will remain until they appear before the grand jury here the third Monday in July.
 Under habeas corpus proceedings before County Judge J. w. Holt last week, Wilson was admitted to bail in the sum of S2,5OO and his wife wbo IS Charged with being an accessory ito the alleged murder, was allowed bail IT the sum of $1,000. Late yes terday afternoon the bail bonds, s.gn ed ty nine citizens of Wilson town ship, were returned to Conway and Sh"rifi W. w. Bishop released the pair.

 Each team had four men left on l bases.
 Kitchens, who was knocked off the
 mound Monday in two innings, came
 back yesterday to try his luck. He
 has pitched winning ball fall the Ar
 kadelphia team this season, and yes
 terday's demonstration proved he has the stuff. In only one inning, the 1 ninth, did he allow the Pedagogues to bunch hits. The Tigers gave their
 hurlers good support, making only one error behind him. Two well-executed double plays also helped him out con- considerably. The Normal miscued eight times.

 NEGLECTED LAWS CITY COUNCIL MEETING
Mayor and Marshal are Instructed to Put Sanitary Ordinances
 in Effect.

A decision to Jack up Mayor J. C. Dawson and Marshal J. E. Piercey in the enforcement of several ordi- nances which have been more or less neglected in the past constituted the principal business at last nights meeting of the Conway city council. The most important of these were sanitary measures relating to the maintenance of dry closets within the fire limits and the keeping of hogs in pens or enclosures of less than one acre. With few exceptions piled wit, but the mayor reported that four wagonyards in the business district had failed to make sewer connections and were maintaining un- sanitary dry closts. The marshal a,so reported number of instances oi NioldtiYs of the ordinance regu- latlng the keeping of hogs. In both cases the council voted to instruct the officers to enforce these ordi- nances.
 Two other neglected ordinances which came before the council for discussion were those for a license for motion picture shows and thea tres and for billposters. It was re- ported that no licenses had been col lected for either of these privileges for the past two years. The mana gers of the theatres have complained that the license of S75 per year is too high and that they had been given no protection, travelling exhibitions of various sorts having been permit ted to play in the school auditoriums of the city without the payment of license. The council had proposed to collect a license tax of $50 fol the six months ending July 1, 1916 to forego the payment of license fol the two preceding years and also tC adjust the license to lower basis for the future, but R. D. Howell manager of the Arkway theatre, ap- peared before the council and stated that he and H. B. Ingram, owner of the Grand theatre. could not accept the proposition. The council took nc further action on the matter, pass ing it over until the next meeting The marshal was instructed to en- force the bill-posting ordinance.
 The mayor and marshal were au- thOrized to make a contract, to be approved by the street and alley committee, for the removal of sweep ings from the paved streets.
 The committee on electric light water and sewer systems was in structed to investigate the matter of purchasing an automobile truck foI conveying fire hose and asked to re- port at the next meeting.
 Some complaints as to the condi tion of streets in different portions of the city were referred to the street and alley committee.
 The special committee appointed to nominate a city attorney and make arrangements for re-digesting tho city ordinances was granted until the next meeting to make a report.
