With the tremendous amount of

teresting subjects, and the Friday
evening showings are very popular
among the school patrons. Following

Here and There in Many Lands

in his native home, habits of the old
bird and methods Of nest building and
some views Of awkward young birds
at play.
The Ford Tractor-The Ford tractor
has not yet been put on the market
but we are told that it is coming.
These pictures give realistic por-
trayal of how the machine is handled
and built and some Of the things that
it will do. It very much resembles
its predecessor, the Ford automobile,
both In rugged construction and ease
with which it is handled. It Is con-
structed so that it will do the work
the binder, the moving machine and
hauling in the hay and the grain. By
means Of the auxiliary set Of wheels,
it Is adapted to cultivate corn which
is too high for the ordinary tractor.
Interesting pictures are shown of how
it will pull itself out of mud hole,
and can be driven safely on any grade.
a stirring and exciting tug of war be-
tween two Ford tractors Of the Same
species.
Horticultural Pests-Wasps, pine
beetles larva, garden ants and their
larvae, and the brown slug.
The Chameleon - The chameleon
makes an excellent little pet. He is
an odd little creature with eyes set on
apparently clear outside his head SO
he may turn them in any direction
without moving his head He changes
his color to the same shade as what
ever he may be on. His tongue Is
long as his body and he can capture
a fly, which is several inches away,
without moving. He will also fight.

ROAD DAMAGED BY
MANY LANDSL|OES
Lake shore Boulevard 10 Hit by Cave
lns From Embankments on
the side Of the
Highway.
TO REPAIR MTHE SPRING
Prisoners In the County Jail VIII be
Given an Opportunity to Work
Out Board
Bill.
TO REPAIR MTHE SPRING

Landslides along the lake shore
drive between Keokuk and Montrose
are causing some damage to the road
and will cost the county some money
to repair The cleaning up of these
slides CO Enot be done until the frost
is out Of the ground, and 1t is prob
able that the inmates OF lne county
Jail will be given chance to work
on the road clearing UP the trouble.
The principal trouble is between
Keokuk and Sanduslky, and there is
quite lot of dirt over the road near
Prices Creek. where the first big cut
was made. There is some trouble at
Galland, also, and but little near the
Bluff Park hill, which was put into
shape last year.
The banks at the side of the road
are washing badly. due to the condi-
ton of the ground and the surface
conditions of snow and ice, which is
now melting. There are some of the
slopes which will be wet at all times,
it Is said, but In most Of the places
1t is believed that the land slides will
stop as soon as the natural slope of
the banks is reached.
In order to clean up these slides
1t will be necessary to dig out the
cutters and clear them up. The work
will be undertaken as soon as pos
sible this spring. II was said at the
court house that tn prisoners in the
Jail would likely be given chance
to work out their winter board bill.
