SPIRIT OF ALTRUISM
PREVAILS AT TAMA

Tama. April THE many sink holes
in the otherwise fine roads cause much
grief to travellers these days, but if all
road men were as painstaking and I'M
selfish as T. B. Reid, farmer on the
Lincoln highway west of Tama, many
of these holes would cease to exist
over night. Not content with having
his own township roads in boulevard
condition and the city streets adjoin-
ing in an impossible condition he OBJ
tanned the help Of his neighbor, Steve
Carmichael, and invaded the city with
spade and drag. In a few hours, they
had fixed a bad hole so that it could be
negotiated on high" and Mr. Reid
then dragged the Lincoln highway
from the city limits to the Lincoln
garage in order to demonstrate to a
reluctant and negligent council the
benefits of intelligent road dragging

A Few Redheads.
Glasgow Times.)

Mr.. Newton Lykins has returned
from business trip up the Big San
dy and visit to friends aud relatives
in that section. While away he saw
the two Caudle boys of Shelby coun-
ty, and thereby hangs a tale.
1T seems like the two Caudle boys
in question were twins, and red-head-
ed at that, and that they left Rowan
county several years ago and went to
Morgan county, where they prosper
ed and married red-headed twin sis
tiers, the Misses Wells. They were
married the same day. And to their
happy union were born to each three
red-headed children. They are now
living in Shelby county on $50, 900
farm and raising red Shorthorn cattle
as a money-making proposition.
And, in conclusion, it would not be
a. miss to state that the Caudle boys
are the members of family OF fifteen
children, all living, and that their par
ents are still living.

Forty Thousand Patents Issued al

menseIy Valuable Ideas Among
Them-Life-Savlng Float.

Forty thousand patents we're grant
ed by the United States patent office
at Washington during 1915, an average
OF 500 a week. These ranged from du-
plex voting machines to fshhooks.
with a heterogeneous number Of won
derfully and mysteriously contrived
appliances in between.
Linn Eugene Carpenter OF East Or
ange, N. j., obtained a patent for .
new sort OF cheese. II has its mass
interpreted throughout by commit
nuted cherries.
Walter Lindemann OF Detroit. Mich.
patented, a new type OF life-saving float
calculated to appeal to the submarine
haunted transatlantic traveller OF to-
day. Mr.. Lindemann's device lie com
bined mattress and raft and free-lunch
counter. The mattress fits into the
sleeping berth and lie quite comfortable
to sleep on. But suppose the ship
should be torpedoed! The passenger
goes overheard with removable sec
ton of his mattress and finds himself
safe for the time being. at least. The
mattress is partially filed with cork
to make IL buoyant. II has a seat for
the accommodation of the escaping
passenger, and Is equipped with a
tank Of fresh water, cans of food, small
electric batteries, an incandescent
lamp for signaling at night, a tele-
scopic rod or mast to hoist the lamp
at night and flag by day, and wa
terproof. flexible water closure or
jacket that can be fastened by draw
string around the body of the ship
wrecked mariner. This keeps him high
and dry. Another advantage of this
float type of life-saving device is that
II is Of sufficient buoyancy to support
its main occupant and in addition lend
possible assistance to others over
board who are not SO well provisioned
for the emergency.
Then there's the electric umbrella,
patented by Frank w. Smithing of On

like an ordinary umbrella and 1t is
used in the ordinary way. But if the |
