Perry, Ia, July 23.-Frank Shell
don, a farm hand, who had been
working near Grimes, is il the coun-
ty Jail charged with stealing a Ford
car belonging to his employer.
The latter recently shipped some
stock to the Chicago market, going
through with the cattle. Sheldon
helped him load the stock and took
the car back home. That night he left
his room, went to tie garage filled the
car with gas and oil, and with his
clothes packed started to make his
getaway. The farmers wife was
awakened when he started the ma

TWO FREAKS OF NATURE.
Phenomena at Bedford and
Sharpsburg Attract Attention.

Bedford, July 23.-Two interest
ing freaks of nature have been en-
gaging the attention of the people of
Bedford, Sharpsburg and vicinity.
At the lake belonging to J. M. Rear
don and from which part of the ice
supply for Bedford is harvested each
year, the water has been of milky
white color and the fish in the lake
were seen coming to the surface for
air and many dead fish appeared on
the surface. 1t was suggested that
the water had uncovered a lime de-
post in the earth. A sample of the
water has been sent to Des Moines
for analysis.
On the Ed. Rutledge farm, near
Sharpsburg, smoke has been seen is
suing from the ground. No fire of any
kind can be found. The smoke has
the appearance of a thin mist and
has a peculiar odor. Biologists have
been asked to investigate the phen-
ome1a.

MRS. E. N. LoGsDoN CHAIRMAN.
Winneshiek County Branch of Ma
tional County of Defense.

1t is said to be literally true that
there will not be enough food in the
world to maintain the population, if
present methods are followed.
Word has come from headquarters
at Washington that owing to recent
developments in public affairs, it is
deemed necessary to push at once
the campaign for food-conservation,
which is directed by Mr.. Herbert c.
Hoover, for the government.
One feature of this campaign is the
league Of women who will enroll and
pledge themselves to carry out the di-
rections of the National Government
as far as circumstances will permit
In securing this enrolment, which
will be under the charge Of the State
Council of Defense, the Women's
Committee of each State Division is
expected to cooperate.
In the Iowa Division the organiza-
ton is being completed as rapidly as
possible so as to handle this special
effort efficiently AID some of Iowa's
ablest women are enlisting for SER
vice.
They will enter into the work ac-
lively of securing signatures to the
pledges of food conservation cooper
ating as far as possible with state and
county councils of defense. After
these pledges are signed and sent to
Mr.. Hoover, there will be sent to each
signer a household tag, to be placed
in the window of the house, to show
that the members of the household
have volunteered for service.
Into the Iowa Division of the Wo-
mems Committee there has entered
almost every womels' organization,
religious and philanthropic, fraterna'
or patriotic, clubs federated or unfed-
Grated There is no class or group
of women who do not find a place in
this committee which is clearing
house for al! organizations of women
and which provides a place for every
woman who wishes to do her bit" in
this crisis of her country's history.
Mrs. E. N. Logsdo1 has been ap-
pointed Winneshiek county chairman
and committee of women will be ap-
pointed at an early date to carry this
project out over the county.

HEARSE HAULS BOOZE.
Funeral Party Gets Thru With
Hearse Laden With Cases of
Beer.

Mason City, Ia, July 23.-Resi-
dents of northern Iowa are enjoying
a good laugh at the expense Of law
enforcement officers stationed along
the Minnesota border to prevent the
illegal importation of liquor. The
story goes that they were cleverly out
witted by a party of thirsty Mason
Cityans, who organized a funeral
procession to get past the vigilance
officers.
At "wet" town in Minnesota, so
the story goes, motor hearse was
engaged. The casket was filled with
liquid refreshments of the kind that
make men beat their wives and see
pink elephants. The "mourners" cars
were we'll stocked. Then the process
sion, composed of some twenty-five or
thirty automobiles, moved solemnly
toward the state line.
AS the procession neared the bor-
der the "cortage" moved slowly. Men,
bers of the party assumed a solemn
mien. They fairly exuded grief. The
ministerial appearing person in the
front car appeared so sanctimonious
that crepe could have added nothing
to his generally detected and down
cast spirit.
Arriving at the state line the en-
forcement officers sized up the solemn
party, uncovered their heads and
bowed, and the procession moved on,
unmolested. So complete was the air
of gloom and sadness that it is said
the officers even shed few tears OF
sympathy for those who so visibly
suffered, not stopping to inquire the
name of the "dear departed"
Once the gauntlet was safely pass
ed, so the story goes. the pent up spir-
its-liquid and otherwise-were re-
leased. The sadness quickly departed
and gloom and bottles were scattered
along the way.
There have been indignant denials
of the story, but If it is not true, the
Mason City liar has got in his work.
Mason City is widely credited with
being the home of budding genius.
The border enforcement officers are
'the goats" of the seasons best booze
hoax-whether true or not.

Another Card from Prof. Valdez.

We received card Thursday from
Prof. c. H. Valdez from Vallejo, Cali
for1ia, where the professor went to
visit Prof. Milton Updegraff, who is
on duty at Mare Island. They were
not allowed to land on the island, as
big explosion occurred there last
week. Vallejo is about 1900 feet
from Mare Island and the professor
could see plainly the wreck resulting
from the explosion. He says it is
very chilly in the mornings unil about
eleven o'clock, wear overcoats in the
evenings. Atty. Harmon is at Red.

No Room for Bone Dry" Bunch.

The Ray Topliff, ]. M. Boehm,
Gilbert Sanders, Geo. Kohlman, Fred
Meiske and Bert E. Tuttle families
motored to McGregor Sunday, expect
ing to partake of picnic dinner on
the bluff Mr.. Pike made famous by
cutting it up to Peak. But the
Weather Man preceded the party
there and was so busy entertaining
his wet friend, Jupiter Pluvius, there
was no room for any bone dry"
bunch. So they returned to the
Pocket City, where they fell in with
some good friends who provided them
with Shelter and place to eat, and
thus it was discovered that picnic
dinner tastes justs as good and can
be eaten with as much relish when it
showers as when it shines.-Postville

Where Women Wear Mustaches.

The Anus the "Celtic" race or ia
pan. live in the island of Yeddoe al
tho the race has become so reduced
that it is estimated there are now
not more than 10000 or 1900 of
them left in the country.
The most noticeable peculiarly
about Ainu women is that they have
tattooed upon their upper and lower
lips what resembles a mustache. The
women are not considered attractive
and their matrimonial prospects are
quite injured. without this decora-
Ition.
The mustache is begun when the
girl is quite child. 1t is done grad
ually, little each year until It ex'
tends partly.

lent me his books at night. He was

died when he was twenty-One. five

poet laureate, collected all the poems
Harry had written"
"a poet? A butchers SOM"
"He had won a sizarship at Cam
bridge when he was nineteen-he had
got his first poems printed the year
before. That was how he attracted
Mr.. Southey's attention"
"And he's dead, oh, I'm so sorry !"
"He told me once that a friend he
had mad at Cambridge, u boy named
George Gordon, Lord Byron, said that
his poems would never die"
He was a poet too?"
II think so. He is living yet. He's
only twenty-three."

II feel like one.'
"Why?"
The sympathy in her voice was as
sincere as that in her eyes. David
had never known such a woman-had
never known what it was to have the
divine sympathy of w~omanhood. He
began to tell her of his life, of his suf-
ferings. of his hopes for the future,
Of his aspirations; and through 1t all
