TWO oSKALoosA BOYS.

Not many years ago, Willard Carver
was praCticing law in Oskaloosa and
incidentally writing editorials for the
Democratic papers in this district
About the same time Prof. E. B. War
man was living in 0skaloosa and
writing vigorous articles on exercise
and health.
Mr.. Carver went to Oklahoma and
took up with the practice of Chiroprac.
tic. Later he established a school for
teaching the new science in Oklahoma
City, and it is said 1t takes six figures
to mention his fortune. "Na'
Prof. Warman went to Los Angeles,
and continued his literary work, being
for several years, editor of the health
of the Los Angeles Times,
the greatest paper on the coast"
The current number of the Chiro-
practic Record, which is issued by Mr..
Caryer's school contains an article by
Prof. Warman. Mr.. Warman is as en-
thusiastic over life and health as ev-
err, and in the course of his article he
says:
We'll, after all, figures never lie ex-
cept in election returns and income
tax reports. So SO wen call it. And
what does SO signify? Just this: That

Il have two affirmations that make

MILES WAS THERE TOO,
Mr.. Prime Corrobrates the Snake
Story By Steve Pomersy.

Miles Prime dropped into the Her.
aid office yesterday with an open cor.
roboration of all that had been said
by Uncle Steven Pomeroy concerning
the establishing and working of the
state road between Oskaloosa and
Des Moines in the pioneer days. But
Unc'e Steve fell down on the snake
story" asserted Mr.. Prime. HE did
not make it as strong as it might have
been and still have chung to the out,
skirts of the truth"
In those days, when we established
that road over the prairie" continued
Mr.. Prime, we were all in our bare feet
No, not from choice, but as a matter
of necessity. Boots and shoes in that
day were luXuries and if possessed at
all were not to be worn every day, on
ly Sundays and on state occasions
Practically every worker on that pho.
neer road work was in his bare feet y
And snakes, sakes alive! Snakes
were everywhere. Having no shoes on
watchful than we would otherwise
have been.
81 was working on that same job
right along side Steve Pomeroy and
| know what am talking about. Steve
told. the truth as far as he went, but
he did not tell all the tale for fear
the truth would be little strong for
these latter day saints" and they
would be inclined to enroll him with
the nature takers"

MAKING A NEW LAWN.

The early part of September is the
best time for seeding a new lawn in
the states south of New England and
north of the Potomac and Ohio rivers,
according to plant specialists of the
w. s. Department. = Of Agriculture.
Likewise, the repairing of lawns in
this region is much more likely to be
successful if undertaken in the early
autumn rather than in the early
spring. The reason late summer and
fall planting is preferable where cl!-
matte conditions will permit is that
young grass does not stool well in
spring and summer and is not ag-
gressive enough during these seasons
to combat weeds. In the northern
tier of states and New England, these
conditions do not hold, and spring is
The best tine for lawn work. At that
time in the extreme North the soil
is more open than, later in the season
and offers better seed bed.
The first consideration in making
new lawn is a. suitable soil This
should be well drained and of good
texture and should be thoroughly, pre-
pared A good loan will need only
enrichment. This may be brought
about best by a dressing of well-rot-
ted barnyard manure thoroughly
worked in. If manure is not avail
able, 20 pounds Of bone meal for each
l,0Q0 square feet may be substituted
II the lawn site is of stiff clay both
sand and humus, or decayed yegeta,
BILE matter, must be worked in If a
coed turf is TO be secured. There
is little danger of using too much of
either Of these materials. Light,
sandy soils should have clay and hu-
mus worked in to increase their wat,
er-holding capacity. The humus may
be supplied in the form of manure
compost or soil from mushroom beds
at the rate of One-half ton to 1000
square feet of area. After the prop
er constituents are supplied, the
lawn soil should be thoroughly stir
red and fined. This preparation
should begin several weeks before the
seeding. time to allow sufficient time
for the ground to settle and for weed
seeds to terminate.
Kentucky blue grass is, in general,
the most desirable turf-forming grass
for lawn use in the northern part of
the United States. For best results
it usually is made the predominant
ingredient in mixtures containing also
the seeds of several other grasses and
white clover. A mixture found sat
isfactory by department specialists
consists of II parts of Kentucky blue
grass, parts recleaned redtop, 3
parts perennial rye grass, and l part
white clover Those planting lawns
must not make the mistake of sowing
their seed too thinly, for thick
stand of grass is essential at the be-
ginning. From to pounds of the
above mixture should be sown for
each 1000 square feet of area. The
seed may be covered over small
area by hand raking, or, on large
area, by a weeder. After the seeds
are covered, the planted area map be
rolled lightly. .l.

THE GRANT BUILDING
Was Considered Model School
House by St. Paul Teachers.

Miss Irene Payton and Miss Marie
Crawford, two school teachers OF st.
Paul, Mimi, came through Oskaloosa
last week entour in an automobile.
They have been making an extended
trip through Iowa, Illinois and other
states and have been looking for new
and practical ideas in the direction of
school houses and grounds.
When they came upon Grant school
of Oskaloosa, they were Immediately
struck by the beauty of the location
and appearance of the school building

more critical survey Of the building

Pickerell was at the school at the
time. He opened the building and the
teachers were privileged to examine
the interior as well as the grounds.

HOW FAST DOES CORN GROW?

Leon Reporter: In response to our
inquiry a couple of weeks ago as to
how fast corn grows, Mr.. Charles Bid
olson of the Biddison Coal and Grain
Co, has made an investigation. On
May 26 he planted corn, and it took
just four days for the corn to come
through the ground. Al the end of IA
days from the time the corn was plant
ed it was six inches high. For the
next thirty seven days, up to July 20,
the corn grew at the rate of ga inch.
es per day, being 1O2 inches high on
July 20. The average growth per day
counting from the time the corn was
planted, May 26, to the time it was
measured on July 30, just 81 days, was
two inches. In making this test Mr.. Bid
Olson measured forty average stalks
in his field. ,

"HAVEN'T GOT TIME"

Opportunity tapped at a door
With a chance for the brother within
He raped til his fingers were sore,
And muttered, Come on, let me in, -
Here is something know you can do,
Here's a hill that l know you can
climb"
But the brother inside
Very quickly replied,
"Old fellow, l haven't got time"
Opportunity wondered along
In search OF a man who would rise.
He said to the indolent ,throng,
Here's a chance FOR the fellow who
tries"
But each of them said with q smile,
Il wish l could do it, but I'm very
busy today. ..--. observation-disclosures.
Very busy today,
And I'm sorry to say
That really haven't got time"
At last Opportunity came
To a man who was burdened with
cares, "
And said, Il now offer the same
Opportunity that has been theirs.
Here's a duty that ought to be done,
It's chance if you've got the time
to take it." -'~s ~ '"11' @a
Said the man with a grin,
"Come along, pass it in!
I'll either find time or I'll make it. B"
OF all the excuses there are
By which this old world is accursed!
This haven't got time" is by far
The poorest, the feeblest, the worst
A delusion it is, and snare;
If the habit is yours, you should
shake it,
For If you want to do
What is offered to you
You'll find time to do 1t, or make 1t.
