lCIRCLE WALKER IS
CALLED BY DEATH

Iowa City, Feb. Is. Hugh White,
after walking in circles. day by day.
for thirty-seven years, until he had GOV.
cred as much territory as If he had en-
circled the globe half dozen times
was found dead in bed, at the county
home. He was seventy-fve years old.
Since he was committed to the county
institution thirty-seven years ago, the
coming June, he was possessed OF an
obsession to walk in circles. Thus, in
his room, on the farm, and otherwise
he SO walked, day after day; and
month after month, as the years rolled
by. 1t is estimated he walked 10000
miles, covering at least two miles an
hour six hours day, In later years,
and a deal more in earlier times. Thus
he duplicated the feat of one who may
have circumnavigated the globe re-
peatedly. White was never married. A
sister, living in Chicago, is the only
known relative.

other at Gettysburg. s. D.
When a young woman she protested
conversion and joined the Methodist
Episcopal church In Ormanvflle. Later
she transferred her membership to the
Willard Street church from which she
never transferred
Mrs Roberts was a great sufferer.
For years she had complication OF
rheumatic trouble which at times left
her practically helpless In hope OF
relief she came to Ottumwa in the
fall of 1916 and during the winter the
most diligent care was given her, but
the skill of the doctors could not
forestall the final calamity, and at
TAO a. IN, January 81. 1917, she peace
fully fell to sleep to awake in the land

STOCKPORT FARMER
STRONG FOR IOWA 1O'

Ames, Feb. 15.-J. Tilsord Brown,
farmer of Stockport, believes that
there is just one variety of corn In
this wide, wide world that is best
suited to southern Iowa conditions and
that is Iowa TO-" comparatively
new variety originated at Ames. Small
quantities of this corn were sent to
Mr.. Brown and a few other members
of the Iowa experiment association
two years ago for cooperative test.
Judging from the prizes he won with
his corn this year, J. Tilfords enthu-
siasm is justified
Push Iowa TO-" he writes to Ames.
"At our local corn show this corn
won first, second and sweepstakes on
bushel; first and third on 10 ear and
in fact every prize in its class ex-
cept second on 10 ear. 1t also won
first and second on single ear. ex-
hibited ten ears for the judge to use
In lecturing to the schools hero and
he remarked that they were worth $50
of any mans money but he doubted
if they could be bought for that. Lat
err on showed in Jefferson county and
won on 10 ear in the professional
class"
This new variety Of corn, origin
ated at Iowa State college, it is hoped,
will turn out an ideal corn for south
ern Iowa. The college will have a
quantity of this Iowa 10 corn for dis
tribution to farmers in the southern
tier of counties for cooperative tests
next season.
