Since that early morning. twenty
years ago, when the first electric car
glided over the rails in the streets
of Richmond, motors have been
brought to such point of perfection
that electric cars are rapidly en-

few years. The principles which
Sprague used in the construction of
the first car and power line are
about the same as in actual use to-
day. He invented the overhead troll.

car wheels and his system OF control

cars.
Miraculous, indeed, has been the
growth of the street railway systems

$4,000 miles of street and electric
railways In the United States, carry

to be models of comfort and convent

the beauties and comforts OF the Pull
mans. In the middle west some of
the longest electric lines maintain

age, freight, express milk and mail

saw Horace Bixby, fresh. wiry, and

I have become an old man. You

They went over to the rooms Of

him to the old house on Hill street.

MYTHOLOGY NEWEST

Or. A. Dennis Gives Some Advice to
Farmers Of state on What the
Squirrels Taught Him

He 10 Endeavoring to Bring About
New Species by Crossing Shell
Bark Hickory and
Pecan.

Better Iowa, published by the state
college at Ames, has the following on
the subject Of "Nutology' and the
man who discovered the new science
and has become famous through it.
One day, sixtyfour years ago. Abe
Dennis, 1O-year-old. freckle-faced
farmer boy, got tired carrying water
to woodchoppers on his dads farm in
Ohio So he plunked the bucket down
and squatted on it to rest AS he sat,
he noticed shower of hickory nuts
strangely dropping from but one of
the many nut trees about him. He
looked up and saw eight gray SPUR
rels dropping nuts below for winter
burial. Year after year. Abe noted,
they invariably chose nuts from the
same trees.
THAT was my first lesson in nut
and nutting," says DR.. A. B. Dennis,
retired dentist of Cedar Rapids, prob
ably the greatest authority on native
nuts in the country. Il soon learned
that the squirrls chose only the best
nuts in the wods. These I studied
until l knew a good from a bad quail
ity nut"
From that time on DR.. Dennis be
came a self-confessed nut crank
All the time he can spare he devotes
to collecting and propagating likely
native nut varieties. If he finds 6
nut of unusual size or other gooC
quality he plants it and at whip size
gratis it to hardy pig nut stock
Through his work, some Of the bes
varieties grown in the state wer'
originated.
He is working now on promisin;
nut, a cross between a she1lbarl
hickory and a pecan. 1t has tn
shape and shell of a pecan and ker
mel cleavage and color of the hickory
Government authorities have con
mented upon it very favorably.
"Plant native nuts is the advic
he gives farmers. They are sur
things" AS a sideline on the farm
Mr.. Dennis advises planting biac
walnut trees. They will return
revenue in nuts until old enough
cut for timber, which brings an u
usually high price.

found that Special Agent Terrell had
ordered the stuff put in a cell neax
them, decided to Investigate the mat
ter themselves. Their investigation
was confined strictly to what was al
legged to be whisky. The fact that they
had to break two locks and then went

not dampen their ardor. The stuff
they got, however, gave them a
morning after feeling.
Deputy Sheriff Montgomery ordered
the collection of kegs, bottles and
more bottles put in the engine room
at the court house. This would have
been the safest place to unload the
deluge of alleged booze. but Special
Agent Terrell, in charge of the raid,
wanted 1t put into a cell in the Jail.
So he ordered 1t out OF the store room
and into the cell.
The proximity Of the liquids got on
the nerves of some OF the prisoners.
