IOWANS IN HAWAII.
Association Formed For Entertainment
of Soldier Bows

Ames Oct. Gin a letter written
from Honolulu by Erie P. Gibson, he
stated that there are from $50 to 200
Iowa boys stationed on the islands al
the various army and navy posts. Most
Of them have gone there since the
declaration Of war. Iowans who have
lived on the islands are helping to en-
terrain the boys as they would be en-
te~tained II In the United States. The
first OF these parties was given On
Sept. %, when an Iowan opened up his
home, giving the boys a dinner, fol-
lowed with a dance, with good, lively
Hawaiian music.
Recently an organization was formed
known as the Iowa Association Of
Hawaii, Of which Mr.. Gibson is secre-
tary. Any person from Iowa is ELI
gible to membership. Other states now
are following in the footsteps OF the
Iowans and forming similar organiza-
tons for the entertainment Of their
boys. If friends Of any boys, going to
Hawaii. will write to the association
they will be looked after as soon as
they arrive.

Admiral Heatty's Hero.

Go into Admiral Beatty's parlor and
glance at the line of boo which lie
on the table, says the London Daily
Telegraph. 1t is NELSON'S Dispatches"
Look on his desk and you will find a
bust Of the great admiral. The prints
and pictures on the walls here COM
memorating great deeds Of the navy
also are lit with the light Of the navy's
greatest inspiration. Here is the din
ner table of the captain Of famous
ship of the first battle squadron. Note
the centerpiece-a silver statuette.
Need you ask whose 1t is? Nelson
stands shining before him as sitting
he drinks the kings health In the way
Of the navy, and the statuette is his
mascot. Only once did he leave it be-
hind, and the ships had trouble. That
was on maneuvers and never since
has Nelson been forgotten. His serv-
ant, who knew the value the captain
attached to it, asked before the battle
Of Jutland If he would stow the statu-
cite safely away. "No," replied the
captain, "he must 60 through It," And
go through it the little statuette did,
and the ship that carried him went
through 1t, too, and earned fresh lau-
rels.

T0LsT0Y NO MUSIC LOVER
Great Russian Voiced His Aversion to
Wagner In Particular In Terms
Beyond Misunderstanding.

Some journals Of Leo Tolstoy that
have been published show, among other
things, that he had peculiar taste in
music. He did not admire Beethoven.
and he could not sit through a single
net Of Wagner's "Siegfried." OF this
opera he wrote: ut is stupid, unfit for
children above seven years Of age, q

The Zodiac.

The earliest astronomers, who were
probably the shepherds and herdsmen
Of the old Sumerian civilization, noted
that the sun appeared to make the
circuit of the heavens in one year. This
is merely an appearance, due to the
revolution Of the earth around the sun
every II months. So they divided the
belt Of sky through which he appeared
to travel into II divisions. One for
each division or constellation was
named for something which they
fancied Its shape indicated, as, Aries,
the ram; Taurus, the bull, and so on.
This belt, Of IL consultations is called
the zodiac, from the Greek word coon,
an animal. Various superstitions grad
ually grew up; among them, that each
part Of the body was under the influ.
ence of a certain constellation, It in
fluenced that part of the body. No
sensible person believes any Of this
old-time superstition that the position
Of the heavenly bodies in these constel.
lations affect either the body or plant
life.

A Novel Dinner Bell.

A camp cook whose only means Of
calling the members of his party was
pounding on a pan with knife han
die was unable to make them hear
when they were fishing or hunting at
any considerable distance from the
camp. One of the party to whom he
complained thereupon made what he
called 'klepalo."
The "klepalo" was merely piece of
well-seasoned oak plank two inches
thick, six inches wide and four feet
long. Through the center he bored q
hole, passed rope through it and
suspended the plank from the branch
of tree. The cook "rang" the in
strument by-striking it with mallet,
first on one side and then on the
other.
The man who made the ''klepalo"
had seen similar contrivances In small
Bulgarian villages, where they are
used instead Of church bells to call
the people to worship. A test of the
instrument used by the campers
showed that In ordinary weather con
ditions 1t could be heard two miles.

WARFARE TO BE DIFFERENT
Armies Of Future Will Have strong'Ar
tilIery and Few Infantrymen, Each
Heavily Armed.

The army Of the future will have an
immense equipment In artillery; the
infantry will be few in number, hut
heavily armed, each man with a ma
chine gun, capable of holding width
of front that otherwise would need a
company armed with rifles. II ench
warfare, at any rate on the scale that
has been witnessed in France, will dis
appear, for the airplane will overlap
the trenches and substitute war OF
movement for q war of fixed posi-
tons, says H. Sidelbotham in the At
lantic.
The airplane will be used, not only
as at present for reconnaissance work,
signaling ranges to the artillery, for
raids on communications, and for
bombing a retreating army, but also
for the transport, on large scale, of
infantry. One can easily imagine air
planes sufficiently large to carry 30 or
even 100 infantrymen. A hundred
such planes could transport an army
Of 10000 with incredible rapidity to
any point behind the hostile line de-
sired by the general in command. Such
movements will make trench lines OBJ
solete. The whole art of war will
have to be rewritten from its elements.
The development of the uses of the air
plane will change the strategical and
tactical direction of the war, from a
game comparatively elementary, like
draughts, into an elaborate and COM
plicated game like chess, with greater
variety of moves and endless POSSIBLE
ties of fresh combinations. Such a
game will be too difficult to be fought
with millions. With proper use Of me-
chanical invention a company of men
will be able to do the work Of divi-
sion in this war. We shall 60 back to
the days Of small professional armies
of long training and high technical
equipment; the great general of the
future will be he who is able to divine
best all the possibilities Of this new
war movement, and military power
will no longer depend on numbers, but
on the genius of the direction and the
technical accomplishments Of COM
paratively few human instruments.

FARMING IN 1870
Amazing Changes in Living Con-
ditions Are Shown.
In Early Days the Farm Produced
Practically Everything Family Con-
sumed, Food and Clothing.

In view Of the modern-day high cost
Of living and of the many wonderful
advances made in the last century
the railroad, the telegraph, the ocean
cable, the telephone, the automobile
| and farm and labor-saving machinery
of all kinds and the amazing changes
these inventions have necessarily
wrought in all directions in almost ev-
cry walk of life--it may be of interest
to recall living on a farm in the year
1910.
The farm I have in mind, writes
Warner Miller in the New York Times,
consisted of 200 acres. The stock was
Is cows, yoke Of oxen, 20 sheep, an
old white horse, dozen pigs, so hens,
10 geese, few ducks and flock Of
turkeys.
The farm produced practically ev-
erything the family consumed, both
clothing and food. The sheep fur
nished the wool, which was carded at
"fulling" mill and made into rolls
for spinning.
At home it was spun into yarn and
woven on a hand loom.
There were no ready-made clothes /;
all clothes were made in the home.
Several cows were killed each year.
There was tannery near by, where
the skins were tanned. A shoemaker
made our boots. They were usually
too small and gave much trouble and
pain.
The flax, cut and laid down until the
fiber loosened from the woody part,
was put through heckle worked by
hand and then spun and woven. This
strong linen cloth was used for sum-
mer clothing, towels, etc. The seed
was saved to make flaxseed tea "a
medicihe), or poultice for bruises.
For food we had everything needed
fresh meat, potatoes, beets, cab
bages, parsnips, pumpkins for pies, ap-
pies, which lasted from fall to spring;
cider, which gave US vinegar or pro-
duced a cider-champagne.
Half dozen pigs killed in the fall
gave us plenty Of ham and bacon, lard,
sausages and salt pork.
IneTe were pfenIy Oh Chickens IOr
roasting and potpies and eggs, turkeys
for Thanksgiving and Christmas, oc-
casionally a roast goose with apple
sauce. -aa
From the cows milk we made both
butter and cheese. What butter and
cheese the family did not consume
was sold in a nearby village. Butter
usually brought 1914 cents a pound.
Cheese was also made at home, as
there were neither creameries nor
cheese factories. Cheese was sold at
5 to 6 cents pound. All eggs not
used went to the village store and
brought 10 cents to II cents a dozen.
Every farmer made his own soap.
It was called "soft SOAP" 1t was soft,
but very strong, and took the dirt off
your hands and face very thoroughly,
and some skin, also, unless you were
careful in your ablutions.
Little was heard Of the world at
large. Twenty miles from the railroad
the great fOur-horse stagecoach came
every day, bringing the mails. There
were few newspapers or magazines.
The telegraph was unknown. The At
lantic cable did not succeed until 1865.
There were only % miles of railroad in
1880.

The horse Is really one Of. the best
