Farmer Stung to Death by Bees.

Fairfield, Ia, July 23.-Henry
Hook, former porter at the Court
hotel in Fairfield, was stung to death
last Friday by a swarm of bees at the
Frank Kurtz home near Pleasant
Plain.
Hook, who was employed by Frank
Kurtz, was blowing corn when his
pillow stirred up nest of bees, which
were in the act of swarming. When
the machine disturbed them they
turned upon Mr.. Hook in a mass ard
covered his face and body within a
seconds time.
Kurtz saw Hook fall from his seat
on the pillow and rushing to his side
supposed him to have tainted from
the pain. He carried him into the
house and summoned physicians, who,
when an examination was made, de-
clared that the man had probably
been dead when he fell to the ground
as he was badly stu1g all over the
body.

lowing wars, they often get very
good prices. But there is very seri-
Gus danger that about the time many
of the boys who are now reading
Waliaces' Farmer, begin to farm for
themselves, farming will come into
very Improbable period. The Difficult
ty is that during a period such as the
present, land values, rent, agricul-
tural machinery, farm labor, etc.,
will go exceedingly high. Then when
the prices of farm products go down
after the war these other things do
not go down so fast, and as a result
thousands of farmers are ruined BE-
fore things are properly readJusted.
During the fifteen-year period imme-
diately following the Napo.eonic wars
in England thousands of farmers

Cd extending from 1870 TO 1900 in

to begin farming for themselves five

BURNED TO DEATH AT OSSIAN.
Little Four Year Old Boy Suffers Fa-
tai Burns From Exploded Lamp.

An awful sad accident befell the
Theo. Uhlenhake household last
Tuesday evening at their home sever
al miles south of Ossian. Mr.. Uhlen-
bake and neighbor, Ben Bauman had
gone to Ossian, Rose AID Frank Won
pder Slit who were staying with their
sister, Mrs. Uhienhake, and Mrs. Bau-
man were in the barn doing the milk
ing, and Mrs. Uhlenhake was in a bed
room putting to sleep her youngest
child and Mrs. Bauman's child Nor
ant Uhlenhake, son about four
years old was evidently lying on a rug
in a living room, when a kerosene
lamp exploded and shot the burning
oil onto the lad. His screams brought
the mother from the bed room and
she grabbed the boy in the folds of
her dress to smother the flames, and
then rushed to the pump and pumped
water to put out the flames. The hir-
ed man at the Loman place nearby
heard the screams and rushed to their
assistance. The child was so badly
burned that he died about one O'Clock
that night. The mother is severely
burned but will recover. The funer-
al of the little boy was held yesterday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wonder Slit were down
again last evening expecting to bring
their daughter Mrs. Uhlenhake back
with them but concluded to let her
remain at home and Mrs. Wonder Slit
remained to care for her.-Calmar

DAYS MOST DANGEROUS HOUR.
More Microbes i'm Air at Nine O'CLOCK
in the Morning and Nine +. Nj.
than Any Other Period

A celebrated scientist, who has
made a lifelong study of different
forms of bacteria, recently made me
Interesting announcement that there
are more microbes in the air at 9
o'clock in the morning and at
O'Clock at night than during any other
periods of the day. He says that he
has also discovered that the percent
age OF microbes in the atmosphere Is
,ess at o'clock in the morning AID at
3 o'clock in the afternoon than at any
other times.
He took samples Of the air, both
indoors and out of doors, and subject
ed them to a most careful microsco-'
pic inspection, and to other tests,
which enabled him to determine with
a fair degree of accuracy the number
of microbes present in each cubic inch
of atmosphere examined.
The explanation advanced for the
partiality of the microbe for o'clock
a. m and p. M, is that the "mlcroDe
hour" is controlled by the movement
of people. From to in the morn
ing they are going from their homes
TO their working places, and from
10 . in the evening they are again
iourneying through the streets, either
homeward bound nr in search OF
pleasure.
The scientist says he also noted
that at or about o'clock every morn
ing and evening there were indica-
ticns Of the approach of the microbe
rush hour. From that time on I'M
ii, 8 o'clock the atmosphere became
more and more crowded with germs
Of all kinds, some bad, some good;
and then, Immediately after 8 o'clock
the tide began to ebb; until it was al
ways lowest round about o'clock.

Farmer Kills Hogs With Worm
Medicine.

Frank Sly near Manchester, has
determined to quit buying stock food
and stock medicine from strangers.
Frank had fine large herd of hogs
on his farm, and some of the animals
had been showing symptoms Of
worms They appeared distraught,
had tinicky appetites, would wake up
at night and roam around in their
underclothes and otherwise show
that they were entertaining unwel-
come company. A few DAYS ago a
smooth, suave stranger with ball
bearing tongue action glided noise
lessly into Franks presence, took one
look at the aforesaid hogs and an
nomced that he had a preparation
that would kill the worms from the
neck down. He failed to mention
however, that the preparation would
kill anything else it came in contact
with, hence Frank allowed the agent
to dose the herd and flush out their
tpmmies. Soon after the agent had
disappeared from the immediate vi
cinity some of Franks hogs began
to get wobbly around the ankles and
CLASSY around the eyes. Pretty soo1
eight or ten Of them gave a loud
gasp of relief and died standing up
right in their tracks. SiXty-one 9TH
ers, Mr.. Sly says, were so badly poi
soned that other fatalities were look
ed for, while those who recover will
be set back two or three weeks in
growth. From the above it will be
seen that the patent worm medicine
and doubled arreled eradicator used
was a mighty powerful preparation,
but as long as it killed the worms
why should we murmur or repine2-

TAX PAYER TO BE
NOTIFIED.
Will Hereafter Receive Gentle Re-
minder From County
Treasurer.

The delinquent tax payers will. here-
after receive a gentle reminder thru
the mail from the county treasurer
to the effect that his taxes are over
due. This little change in the taxing
laws was adopted by unanimous vote
by both houses of the last legisla-
ture and went into effect on July 4.
This notice to be sent thru the
mails is in addition to the advertising
of the tax list which has always here
tofore been considered suffi tent to
prod the delinquents into paying their
taxes But it has been discovered
that such advertisement is often over
looked by property owners who have
both the desire and ability to pay
their taxes and occasionally some
piece of property is sold for taxes
which the owner had forgotten all
about when tax paving time came
|around.
This law was introduced by Sera-
tor Indy of Henry county, early last
session. 1t passed the senate OIL Feb.
10 by vote of 81 to and the house
on March 81 by a vote of 6S to O.
There was no debate Oh the measur :
and it went thru without much CON-
ment or notice. Nevertheless, it is
generally considered a good law and
much more fair to the property own.
ers than under the old law whose cn!y
provision to property owners that
their taxes were due was by pub.ica-
ton in the newspaper.
The new law declares il speaking
of the work of the treasurer il col
lecting taxes that "his efforts to that
end shall include the ending by mail
of statement to each delinquent tax
payer not later than the first day OF
November of each year"

FRANCE TAKES NO CHANCE.
st. Louis Nurse Not Allowed in
France Because of Birth.

One of the nurses who left St.
Louis last month for service in
France with the st. Louis Base Hos
pital Unit No. 81, was left in London
because she is German subject, ac-
cordilg to information contained in
a letter received yesterday from Col.
J. r. Kean, director general of the
military relief department.
She is Mrs. Marion A. A. Spiess,
who lived at 4759-A Washington
boulevard. The letter said: II am
in receipt of a telegram from the
American ambassador at London
which explains that Mrs. Spiess cam
not proceed to France because she
was born in England of German
parents and married a German sub
iect. She is now his widow and
therefore a German subject"
The American Red Cross has for
several months past been rejecting
German born nurses who volunteer
for service il France with the
American hospital units.
Two st. Louis nurses, born in Ger

their names were sent to Washing
ton for ratification. The unit was
notified the women would not be
permitted to enter. France. Mrs.
Spiess, having been born in England
was not allowed to go through.
