WaterWorks DonE Pay Costs.

In a number of Iowa towns the va
terworks systems are not self support
ing, according to an investigation re-
Gently made by the engineering eX'
pertinent station of Iowa State college
Pumping costs. operating expenses
and fixed charges on the total water
works investment may bring the total
cost up to 75c 1000 gallons in towns
400 to 500 population, yet several
such towns charge water customers
but soc to 66.7c a 1000 gallons. The
remainder of the most is paid by taxa
ton in return for fire protection and
other public use of water. ~
A common rate for electricity paid
by towns for pumping is about &c a
kilowatt hour. In well whose water
level is not more than 20 or 30 feet
from the ground surface, one kilOwatt
hour of energy will often pump LOCO
gallons or more into an elevated tank.
When gasoline engines are used. the
fuel cost was found to be both below
and above 10c 1000 gallons of water
with gasoline costing in the neighbor'
hood of zoe gallon. 1t appears. there
fore, that pumps driven by electric
motors are more economical than gas
Oline engines when current can be pur
chased at reasonable rates and the
electric motor is the more reliable OF
the two. Leaky valves, clogged wells
insufficient underground flow and un
suitable machinery are also respon
lsible for conditions which waste mon
ey from the taxpayers pocket.

POOR HEALTH,
COMMITS SUICIDE
Miss AIthea Wolfe, One Time Stenog
rapher in Review Office, Suicides
.'.. at creston Thursday.
ILL HEALTH REASON FOR ACT
Deed Committed With 20 calibre Re.
voIver in Room at Creston Hotel
Mote TO Her Brother.

Miss Althea Wolfe, who four years
ago, was employed in the Review office
as stenographer, committed suicide al
Creston last Thursday night by shoot
ing herself with a % calibre revolver
The reason for the rash act is due to
! i'll health.
Miss Althea Wolfe, aged %, of Ord
a little inland town near Lorimer
went to Creston Thursday ostensibly
On shopping trip. Thursday after
noon she went to the Highland Inn.
She did not register at once but asked
one of the employees of the hotel if she
would be permitted to sit on the porch
for time. She did SO and in a short
time went into the office and registered
and went almost Immediately to her
room. In little while she returned
to the Office and asked the clerk for:
some stationery and went back to her
room. No more was seen of her that
night, but Friday when she did not
come down to breakfast it was thought
that she was merely sleeping late. Lat
er in the day the chambermaid looked
over the transom and saw the young
woman was lying on the bed apparent
ly asleep. However, when she did not
make an appearance hours later the no.
ter decided to investigate and upon
breaking into the room found her cold
in death upon the bed.
The deed was committed with %
calibre revolver which was found con-
cealed under the bed sheet with one
empty and five full magazines. The
young woman had torn her clothes
away from her breast and from all in
dications had placed the weapon close
to her side when she pulled the trig-
ger as the flesh was badly burned by
the powder. 1t is believed that she
lived only long enough to conceal the
weapon.
Two post cards were found in the
room occupied by Miss Wolfe, one adj.
dressed to Archie Wolfe, Orient, Iowa.
and the other to Mrs. J. Schwab.
Iowa. The authorities i'm.
communicated with Mr.
Wolfe, who proved to be brother of
the young lady. He fastened to Ores.

his sister was unmrried that she was
living with her parents near Ord. He
was almost Frustrated when he reach.
ed Creston and declared that he knew
no other motive for the deed except
i'll health. He said that she had been

Miss Althea Wolfe was employed by

lege at Omaha, who recommended her
very highly. She roomed at F. H.

Il Irrigation Pays Truckers.

Irrigation has proved its worth to
many truck gardeners in Iowa this
year, according to A. T. Erwin, In
charge of truck crop works for the
agricultural experiment station at
Ames. Wherever irrigation has been
practiced, the yield of onions, melons,
sweet potatoes and other vegetables
has been greatly increased over the
yields of unirrigated truck fields. In
some instances the use of irrigation
ure and successful crops; generally
it has increased the yield from 30 to
% per cent.
On, Muscatine island, In Muscatine
county, some Of the large fields of can
teloupes and sweet potatoes were irri-
gated with very satisfactory results.
In Pleasant Valley, near Davenport,
the most successful onion fields were
watered by irrigation, Near Ottumwa
and Waterloo large vegetable fields
were irrigated with profit. "Unques.
tionably, irrigation provides the best
crop insurance for the truck growers"
says Mr.. Erwin, and experience
shows that it is very profitable,
. Three diuerent systems of irrigation
are in use in Iowa. One is the over.
head sprinkler system, the second the
surface sprinkler, and the flooding sys-
TEN. On the Muscatine islands, the
water is supplied by driven weels 10
feet or so deep, eight or ten to the
acre. The water is pumped by gaso-
line pump mounted on sled runners
and is hauled from we'll to well to
flood the fields nearby.

OUR SABBATH. SCHOOL LESSON
DEPARTMENT..

With the coming of the fall and the
return of the children to the common
schools, there is always a revival of
attendance in the Sabbath schools of
the county. We therefore, take &C.
casion to call attention to the column
written each week in this paper by
Mr.. Meyers. the county Sabbath school
secretary. The Review is the only
county paper We know Of, which has
"a column of this kind written by a
resident of the place where the paper
is printed. We have heard many COM
lementary things said Of the benefit
of the column to those engaged In
Sunday school work, and that is why
this paper makes it special feature.
Readers have noted that recently we
have given space to the matter pre-
pared by Mr.. TRACER, which treated OF
religious things, showing our desire
to give subscribers light on all subjects
which may interest. Those who have
read the Sabbath school COLUMN will
call to mind that the editor is a great
admirer of the Apostle Paul, and this
crops out this week, as a eulogy of
the character of that bible missionary.

ing it with q we'll bred bull.
1t was vision demonstration with
4 moral. Two herds of COWS were
used to show what was done and how,
to improve dairy herd. The first
method was by testing out the COWS
as it has been done in the "a COW test
associations in Iowa. Eight COWS,
loaned by fartners' of the Kc'ssuth
County Cow Testing association,
showed records of production for the
year ending August 1, which Varied
from 3,101 lbs. of milk and 1859 lbs.
of butter fat to 1850 lbs. of milk,
with 554.6 lbs. of butter fat. The feed
in the first instance cost $37.05, or 81
cents more than was returned in but
ter fat. At the same time the high
COW consumed $72.S9 wort!
of feed and returned butter fat with
a net value of $120.27 over feed cost.
Five COWS from the college dairy
herd showed the influence of good
pure bred sire on the milk and butter
fat production of daughters from
scrub cows. Three cows of the Iirst
showed an increase from
6 per cent in milk and 20 per cent in
fat to 10l per cent in milk and 1O7 per
cent in fat as two year olds over the
best yearly records over their mature
dams.
"A pure bred sire is half the herd

herd" said one interested farmer.

Heavy Call for Farm Plans.

More than $4,000 farmers since Jan
uary 1, have written to the agricul.
ttural engineering department at Iowa
State college, requesting plans for one
or more farm structures which the de-
partment furnishes at less than cost.
This number does not include the
plans and suggestions handed out by
various county agents, all of whom
have been supplied with a complete
set Of available plans.
The call is mostly for barns, hog
houses, and poultry houses" says w.
G. Kaiser, who prepares most of the
plans, although we receive requests
for all kinds of structures conceivable.
When farmer asks for something
which we do not have in stock we get
busy and draw plans for what he
wants." az, LII &c.,.
The department furnishes for five
cents blue print plans for which it
costs them more than $50 to prepare.

Early Planted spuds Best

Throughout Iowa the present sea
son has shown the Importance of plant
! ing pototoes early, say the truck cror
men at Iowa state college. Early plant
ed potatoes got good start before
dry weather set in and they are yield
ing again as much as late planted
fields. Early planted potatoes returned
satisfactory profits; late planted were
a disappointment. Year in and year
out" says A. Il. Erwin of the Iowa
agricultural experiment station. 1.-THE
early planting gives insurance of good
yields and good profits,
The Iowa crop of potatoes suffered
seriously from the drouth. Fields
which last year yielded $50 bushels
are not producing 100 bushels per acre
this year. The very late potatoes, with
vines that are still green. may be con-
siderably benefited by the early Sep
TENDER rains.

stamp taxes were not in force and it
did not take the news long to make
the rounds of the banks, stores, and

good news and telephoned to Lewis

it confirmed. The stamp tax was dis
continued on schedules A, and B, do

it will not be necessary to stamp
