EARLY MATCHING FOR SIZE

Contrary to general belief and
practice, chicks do not grow or thrive
as well during the warm months or
hot summer days as they do earlier i'm
the spring. Experienced poultrymen
realize this fact. The average farmer
however, does not make an effort to
hatch early so that the chicks will
have the advantage of longer and

Out on Coon river north of Dexter.
at what is best known as Marshalrs
Springs, there is a peculiar soil that
grows potatoes, sweet potatoes and
water melons such as can be grown
in but few places in the state. No.
finer melons have ever been grown in
the state. not even at Muscatine than
Uncle Calvin Marshall used to raise
there; sweet lucious and just the
kind that leaves that rich lingering
aroma on the palate. Now that every
thing is so high the fellow that would
raise potatoes and melons out there
on that ground would have gold
mine just in accordance TO the num-
Der of acres he planted remember
OF potato expert saying some three
years ago that some places along the
river in Dallas county he had found
the finest soil for potatoes OF any
place in the state. Some day it will
be utilized for that purpose and the
grower who makes business of
raising potatoes for the next few
years, taking the crop year in and
year out will make very large profits
for the price will continue to be COM
partively high for a good while, Po-
tato experts from Colorado, and also
those from Ames college say that we
can raise three times the amount of
potatoes per acre that we do if we
only plant right and then cultivate
right. Plant at least twelve to fif-
teen bushels to the acre. They claim
that one cannot plant 6 or bushels
potatoes. 1t requires much heavier
planting. One grower with whom lam
acquainted. and who is successful
generally, puts in at least IL bushels
to an acre; and sometimes more.

familiar figure on the streets down
town as he always made a daily visit
and sometimes more than one day
to town. 1t was while on one of these
trips that he received his fall ana
since then has been confined to his
bed at the home of his daughter.

A good story is going the rounds
in regard to the safe keeping of the
consignment of booze which was sieZ-
ed by the county officers near Adair
two weeks ago. The booze is suppos-
ed to be in safe keeping al the court
house. but some of the neighbors are
becoming suspicious. An inquirer
asked Sheriff Porter how much of it
there was. and was told about 800
pints. The inquirer later asked Clerk
Roark how much there was. and was
told about $50 pints. Still later he in
quired of Attorney Crowley how
much there was. and was told about
24O pints. He has not inquired any
further for fear he would find that il
was all gone and would be oblived to
lead an investigation as to where il
went to.

BY a vote of 229 to 9S Glidden
and the surrounding rural districts
today decided in favor of a consolid-
ated school. The new school dis
trict will include thirty-two sections
of the territory about Glidden. In
the country the election was more
holly contested than in the city itself
though il carried in the country by
a vote of 76 to SO. In Glidden proper
the vote was l53 to 20. The fact that
il was soon TO become necessary for
Glidden to build a new and larger
school building, anyway, isthought
to account for the overwhelming city
vote in favor of consolidation. Work
on the new building will be begun as
soon as the bonds can be sold.

When a resident of Dubuque, Iowa
wearing a fur coat and rubber boots
walked hurriedly to his garage on a
cold morning recently. he did not re-
aliZe that his movements were stor-
ing up a dangerous amount of cleo
tricity in his body. But the fact that
the friction of his arm against the
coat caused a certain amount of
stotic electricity to be generated and
this was stored in the mans body be-
cause it was insulated from the
ground by the rubber boots. When
he sought to prime the motor of his
car with a mixture of gasoline and
ether using metal squirt can--prob-
ably of copper, which is good con-
ductor Of electric current-the can
was brought so close TO the motor
that spark was produced between it
and the printing cup igniting the gas
oline. The can exploded throwing
the flaming liquid over both man and
car. The man escaped with severe
burns. but car and garage were COM
pletely destroyed.
