MEN TALLER IN MORNING.

May Measure Half an Inch More After
Breakfast, Marine Examiners Say.
Washington.-Men are taller in the
morning than in the evening, medical
examiners for the United States ma
rlne. corps declare, and the applicant
Tor enlistment who is of medium or
small stature has a better chance lust
after breakfast to meet the height re-
quirements than at any other time dur
ing the day.
The disks Of cartilage between the
vertebrae Of the backbone yield con-
s1derably to the pressure due to the
weight Of the body when it is erect
and expand themselves while the body
Is IN recumbent position.
This effect may amount to as much
as half an inch in the case of heavy
many of, say, five feet ten inches in
height, according to the marine corps
medical examiners.

ODD TOWN IN iowa
Farmers Consolidate interests,
Transact Business ProfitabIy.
FOUNDED AND RUN BY Them.

Though Built Fourteen Years Ago,
When Railroad Was Constructed,
Fernald Has Population of Only 100,
but Air of Mutual Interest Would
Please Any One.
Des Moines, 1a.-Out on the prairies
OF Iowa Is one of the most novel towns
OF the country. There is no pickering
between townspeople and rural resi-
dents, as is often the case. The farm
ers for miles around feel perfectly free
to go to town without wearing starch
ed shirts and collars. There is an air
OF mutual interest between town and
country which would gladden. the heart
OF any rural life expert. The reason
for this is that the. town is owned by
the farmers themselves.
When he goes to town to buy bar of
soap or new plow the farmer buys of
himself, or rather he is partner in the
store. When he goes to the elevator he
sells to his company the grain he has
brought in. Perhaps his next stop will
be at a bank owned and managed by
the farmers themselves.
The town is named Fernald. All of
its business enterprises are owned by
farmers living within q radius Of three
or four miles. Though built fourteen
years ago, when the railroad was built,
Fernald has population of only 100
and probably will not grow much
larger In the years to come, because Of
the nearness of numerous other towns.
But this does not mean that Fernald
does not expect to grow and prosper,
for the farsighted farmers who own
the town do practically all of their
trading there instead Of patronizing
mail order houses or buying in neigh
boring towns. In fact, the town is just
a big social center for the whole COM
munity.
The town was founded by the farm
ers In order to avoid making long hauls
in delivering crops to the railroad. A
line elevator was built shortly after
the town was founded, but it was not
until about two years ago that it was
purchased by group of farmers op-
Grating under the name of the Farm
ers' Grain company. H. s. Fleagle, the
farmer who put through the deal, was
made manager of the elevator The in
vestment proved a wise one, for in the
first year under the new management
the elevator paid profit Of 95 per cent
on the $1,000 capital.
The Farmers Lumber company was
organized by four farmers with a cap-
1talization Of $6,4OO. Mr.. Fleagle also
manages the affairs Of this company
and its $4,000 stock. Another enter
prise founded by the farmers was the
Farmers Cooperative Mercantile COM
pany. After brief period of competi-
ton the rival mercantile store was
compelled to close it's doors, leaving the
management Of the town and it's bust.
ness affairs entirely in the hands of
the farmers themselves.
The towns founders then establish
ed the Farmers Savings bank, with a
capital Of $4,000. The deposits have
reached the $4,000 mark in three years.
Mr.. Fleagle's ability for management
was recognized third time when he
was made vice president of the bank.
Fernald is in Richland township, in
Storey county. Extensive use of tile
has converted the ordinary prairie land
into some Of the most valuable farms
in the state.

Angler Catches q Wildcat.

Lock Haven, ,Pa.-Wildcats are fright
en11g trout fishers in Wayne township,

He encountered three wildcats along

AT THE COLUMBIA.

There's world of pretty sentiment
in "The Breath of Old Virginia." which
Genevieve Cliff & Company, give as the
feature of the bill for the last half of
the week at the Columbia, Davenport.
The sketch deals with the love affair
Of a pretty southern lass, whose hand
is sought by both Yankee and rebel.
When the northerner presses his suit,
the girl tells him that she is going to
marry his rival and then recites the
story of how the latter lost his arm
for her. There is a shift of scenery
and the lover is shown imprisoned in
union camp but shown every cour-
tesy. He aids a sick fellow prisoner
to escape. A new confederate is found
in camp next morning, who turns out
to be the daughter of the man released
When the union general in charge of
the camp attempts to insult the girl,
the chivalrous lieutenant declares he
would be willing to give his good right
arm to see her safely at home The
general thinks this an idle boast and
orders the girl liberated on condition
that her lover face the firing squad
Secretly the commanders orders the
squad to remove the shot from their
guns, but through an error this is not
done and the soldier bravely sacri-
fees his arm for the girl he loves. Nat
urally the union gallant is much moved
by the story and adds his BLESS you
my children" as the couple embrace.
Mabel Harper, the funny girl" has a
| distinctive style and sings character
songs in amusing fashion. A novel
acrobatic stunt is given by Johnson,
| Howard and Lizette. Popular ballads
are prettily rendered by frankie Muir
| ply, California boy tenor. THE World
on Wheels" by Sic Franz & Company,
introduces some clever bicycle riding.
