This Auto Paid for Itself.

A writer in the November Farm
and Fireside tells how an automo-
bile earned its own way. He says:
MANY useful things can be done
with an automobile, especially dur
ing the harvest season when men ana
teams are scarce.
During the haying season when
we use the stacker, we run out our
car and attach tie ropes to the rear
axle of the car and proceed to lift up
the loads of hay upon the stack, us
ing the low gear for forward and the
reverse for backing up. This method
gives much more even pull than
when horses are used, and We don't
have to bother with the worry Of
backing up the team of horses,
which now, by the use of the car,
can be at use in some other part OF
the field or at the sweep rakes The
car works equally well for pulling up
the hayfork when we are unloading
in the barn.
I'VE, like others, have found the
car to be very profitable in market
ing. In a seven-passenger car one
may carry six coops of chickens at a
time-two in the rear seat, two on a
board frame extending out back
ward from over the rear axle, and
one on each fender-and be at mar
ket, IL miles away, in about thirty
minutes

Makes Fine Electric Sign.

With some cog wheels from an old
sharpening grinder, motor from
an old electric fan, some wooden
wheels which he made himself, and
the fundamental knowledge of cleo
tricity possessed by most boys and
young men, in combination with nat
ural ingenuity, Thomas Morrison OF
Iowa City has constructed device
for controlling the current fed INTO a
large electric sign in front Of the
Morrison drug store.
The sign flashes alternately red
and green on different circuits, ald
the controlling device is just as eff
cient as those costing from $40 to
$50.

Several Animals Die in West Union
Herds.

West Union, Ia, Dec. 26.-Hog

ence Ishman. Only two or three hogs
have died. They discovered that
their hogs were ailing on Thursday.

MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
Former Richmond Woman Found
Dead in Milwaukee.

Milwaukee, Wis.,, Sept. IIhe
most mysterious murder. in years is
battling the Milwaukee police since
the bodies of Mrs. Julia Kratz Denim,
formerly Of Richmond, Va, and hef
husband, Louis. were found on the
floor. of the Denim home. The woman
was dead, with three wounds in her
body inflicted by some sharp instru-
ment, such as chisel, and her hus-
band was found with three fractures
of the skull and paralysis Of the right
side from blows administered with
some blunt instrument.
The weapons with which the wounds
were inflicted have not been found,
and though Denim is still alive, with
death near, he has not been able to
recover sufficiently to give any hint
as to the identity of the assassin.
There are two jewels missing, a
diamond stud, valued at $500 and a
ring worth $15O, which Denim wore,
and the only theory of the police is
that some one to whom he showed
thera in a saloon; had followed him
home and waited until he and his
wife were alone, when the attack was
made.
The only witness was Marguerite
the 3-year-old daughter of the couple
who said to the police that there
was awful fighting. She could not tell
of any other phases of the tragedy.
The bodies were found in the morn
ing, though the crime was commit
ted in the early evening. The little
girl had fallen asleep after she had
seen the crime. The body of Mrs.
Denim has been. shipped to her old
home at Richmond for interment.
She has a brother, John Kratz, in
that city.
