the supervisors and the land owners
having agreed upon a road to run d.
rectly north out Of Clifford and urn
west toward Eldora from more cast

The hill acquired its name by the fact
that on Nov. -, 1885,. the hfeless body
of Enoch Johnson was found near the
bottom OF it, and that in the January
following Nathan and Frank Rains
barger were arrested. charged with
having waylaid and murdered john
son. Subsequently the Rainsbarger
brothers served upwards Of twenty
five years in prison for the alleged
commission Of the crime. The hill has
been a most disagreeable one, always

CAR LOCKS IN REVERSE.


A. c. S. inquiries; What causes the
reverse-gears of my car to lock. so
that l cannot throw them out with
the lever. but have to move the car,
by hand. in order to release them :?
Answer: The pressures are high
between the teeth Of the reverse
gears. particularly when a car is be-
ing backed up hill or when it is NOV
ing down grade with no power on
and these high tooth pressures. pos
sibly in connection with faulty gear
fabrication and rather weak gear
shift. produces this difficulty. It Is
very seldom these gears lock on easy
level going. To avoid this occur
renee. try the following procedure:
Just before you are going TO stop
the reverse movement of the car,
speed up the engine slightly for a
brief instant, so as to give the car
little backward momentum. and
then, at once, simultaneously slow
down the engine. de-clutch and push
the gear lever toward neutral The
gears will generally come out very

readily, as there will be an instant
when the engine Is, neither pushing
the car back nor the car driving the
engine and when the pressure be-
tween the reverse gears will conse-
quently be nothing. You should be
sure that your gears are supplied
with lubricant which covers their
faces at all times, but has plenty Of
body" and that there Is nothing
about the shifting mechanism which
moves hard or Is in any way de-
ranged.
ABOUT RELINERS.
S. E. S. asks: What kind Of re-
liners do you advise using in castings?
Answer: II reliner becomes ad-
visable. there Is perhaps nothing
better than one consisting of three
or four plies of tire duck. formed

DON'T PLANT eAReERRY
BUSHES; DEVELOPS
BLACK RUST PEST.

AS one step In the program Of Ia
creasing crop production in this time
Of special need. the botany section at
the Iowa agricultural station, follow
Ing invest LEGATION work done by DR. r
II. Melhus and l.. s. Durrell, urges
every person In Iowa to refrain frOih
planting European barberry bushes It
Is on the barberry that one stage OF the
black stem rust lives, which caused q
loss Of not less than 100000 to the
cereal crop OF Iowa, chieffy wheat, last
Year. 1t Is also urged that all barberry
growing near grain fields be cut out at
once to avoid starting infection.
The experiment station will recon-
mend to the state board OF control that
no barberry bushes be planted on state
institution property, ana to all the
landscape architects Of the state that
they substitute some. other shrub for
the barberry In their plans. This has
already been done on the campus ct
Iowa state College.
It has long been known that the bar
berry bush spreads black stem rust, but
only during the last 10 years has the
Importance Of the role that II plays in
this respect been appreciated. During
the past season the whole cereal crop
Of the middle west suffered q severe
epidemic of black stem rust, causing
loss Of $4,000, 900 IN the wheat
growing districts of Minnesota and
North and South Dakota alone. In the
four principal wheat growing districts
Of Canada the damage amounted TO
O,GO0,0 900.
These severe losses are IN a large
part responsible for the present high
cost OF food stuffs" says DR.. Molhuss
1.-THE conservation Of our cereal crop 10
Of Importance not only to the farmer
but to every bread consumer" Mr..
Melhus attributes the present exorbi-
tant price of -four to rust damage to
the wheat crop last year.
Denmark has accomplished marvel-
ous results in exterminatng the barr
berry bush In that country. North
Dakota has recently passed q law for
the eradication Of bArberry FROM the
state before July i. 1917. Mnnesota
and various sections OF Canada are
considering the same action.
The barberry bush. used for orra-
mental planting. has no other COM
mercial value. There are dozens Of
other shrubs just rs valuable for plant
Ing" says DR.. Melhus. notably the
Japanese barberry, which does not
harbor black stem rust"

Captain Testifes Men Had Ample lime to Quit Ship but
Perished During Long Exposure to
Cold After Escaping

zone hundred and twenty" Captain
Norton replied. "To the best OF my
knowledge, all the Len got safely into
the boats. The best of order pre-
vailed after the explosion. The Off
GERS and men lived Up 20 the best
traditions Of the navy.
About forty-five minutes afser
>the explosion, prior 70 leaving the
ship, I went around the vessel below
with an electric torch and satisfied
myself that there were no more men
in the shin. The vessel Was then very
low in the water. When at last en-
tered waiting lifeboat humping dan
gerously alongside. the ship was sink
ing. but. owing to the darkness and
rough weather. we did not see her
actually sink"
"Wcre there any people killed
aboard ," asked the coroner
Possibly some were killed in the
engine room, 0u. have been unable
to ascertain that, owing to the fact
that no survivors are left of the men
on watch. know that all the men
got up from the stokehold. The deaths
were all due TO exposure. owing to the
coldness of the night. My own boat
was almost full of water when we
were picked up by trawler the next
morning, but all the men in the boats
survived Another boat, picked up at
3 o'clock in the afternoon, contained
five survivors and fifteen frozen
bodies. They had been exposed to the
bitter cold for over twenty hours"
In reply TO questions, Captain Nor
ton said that trawlers arrived within
two hours after his signals had been
given. No one WAS asleep on the boat

time, but some men did not wait to
don proper attire.

the ship" said the captain, in reply
TO another question.
Medical evidence showed that death
was due in every case to shock and
exposure. II was testified that one
boat picked UP twenty hours after the
explosion contained seventeen frozen
bodies.
The jury returned verdict that the
deceased came 20 their death as a re-
suit Of shock and exposure, and OK
pressed sympathy and sorrow "for the
loss OF such gallant lives in the ser
vice of their King and country" and
admiration of the conduct of the cap
tain and officers.

London. Jan. 81. Three hundred and
fifty men lost their lives when the
Laurcntic sank, according to testimony
given at a Coroner's inquest to-day by
her commander, Captain K. A. Norton.
There was ample time 20 save all on
board after the auxiliary cruiser hit
q mine off the north coast Of Ireland
last Thursday. says an official state
mcnt issued to-day contradIcting re-
ports to the contrary. The fatalities
were due TO severe weather preventing
sorc of the boats reaching shore, it
adds
"A statement appeared in some OF
.hc morning papers" says the official
announcement. "to the effect that there
was not sufficient time to save all who
had escaped being killed by the eE-
plosion. and that the ship Laurentic
went down, carrying with her more
than 200 men.
'This is wholly incorrect. There was
ample time TO save everybody, and the
ship was very carefully searched above
and bclow and al hands were put into
boats. Those who were lost were lost
owing 20 the cold and the severity or
the weather preventing them rom
reaching shore
ship Carried $40 Men
The captain told the story Of the loss
Of the ship at the inquest over the
bodies Of seventy-four men Of the crew,
held at an unnamed city. lie said
"The vessel left port at 3 o'clock on
tho afternoon Of January 25, carrying
complement Of 47O. At 5:55 ! was
on the bridge, when violent explosion
occurred abreast the foremost on the
mort side. followed twenty seconds later
by a similar explosion abreast the en-
zine room on the port side. Nothing
was seen in the water prior TO the e%-
plosior. The ship was steaming at ful'
speed ahead. No lights were showing.
