bert S. Kenyon of this city with a
friend went to the Fisher G. Snyder
farm at Marcellus near here to spend
the day.
Mr.. Kenyon left his coat with $3.50
in one of the pockets in the barnyard
while he went with his companion for
a walk about the farm. Upon his re-
turn the money was gone. Kenyon
and others made a search which re-
suited in the recovery of $11, but the
balance of the bank-roll could not be
found.
According. to Kenyon, yearling
bull, the sole tenant of the barnyard,
looked guilty and acted as if it had
indigestion. He summoned Doctor
Stack of this city and Doctor Sullivan
OF Macellus. veterinary surgeons, who
came to the farm and performed an
operation upon the bull. They found
partly masticated mass, which bore
little semblance to legal currency. The
mass was forwarded to Washington
and Mr.. Kenyon has now received Un-
Gle Sans personal check for $124.
The bull shows no i'll effects from
the operation.

of Marnee Taafe. They had been in

when Marnee fell in love with the
Grand Duke of Igeria, Isabelle was
her confidant, even after she return

back and forth between the distant
lands.
Marnee and her ducal lover could not
be married in Igeria, nor anywhere
else with the permission of his near
relative, the reigning sovereign Of a
European power; but marry they
would regardless of authority and
laws of succession. So the duke be-

complete college education, in real

people, his relatives, and authority,

sllo Helps Keep Moresstock

During eight years silage feed
ing experimental work at the In
diana Experiment station, it was
found that to produce the corn and
clover necessary to feed 20 fatten
ing steers for $50 days it required
on the average 35 acres of land.
Where a silage corn and clover
denomination was used it took but
"a acres to grow the feed neces-
sary for the same number of cat
tie. In other words, rs ton silo
added practically 10 acres to each
25 SO far as beef producing abil-
ity was concerned.
In 1915 at the Iowa Experiment
Station i6 steers full fed on sill
age and corn required 20 acres,
1-6 in the silo and So in the crib,
to produce the corn anL sileage
necessary to feed them for 40
jdays. A similar 20 acres divided g.
Is in the silo and 2-5 in the crib
would have provided corn and sill
age and IA the amount, of corn
tn" other steers received. The 20
acres if fed Ia the first loot would
have made $50 pounds of beef,
whereas it would have made $500
pounds when fed to the second lot.
These figures are basedon an ap-
pr"Ximately yield of IS bushels of
corn or 9 tons of silage per acre
and the actual gains secured on
the steers fed the different rations
During the time of war stress
the soils of Iowa are being drain
ed of fertility faster than ever be-
fore. Livestock is needed on every
farm to turn back to the land the
fertility taken out by constant and
heavy cropping. The silo makes it
possible to keep as much or more
stock than formerly without de-
|creasing the acreage under culti-
walton or cutting down on the
supply ofgrain for hog feeding,
or for market. A silo on the farm
means livestock, more fertile
fields and bigger crops.

Safety First, on the Water Ques-
tion.

A bounliful supply of water is
a city's greatest asset.
Years ago the citizens of this
city got tired of open wells and
wooden pumps and made up their
minds that a water system was
what they wanted. 1t was mighty
undertaking in those days. But
the people got together. (Some-
thing they arc not in the habit of
doing in later years. And they
started our present water system
They builded we'll and they were
proud of their work and justly so.
They had one Of the best water
systems in the state and up to
the present time it has furnished
the city with water for all purpos-
es at a nominal cost since the
plant was built up to recent
times it was an odity to hear any
one complain of the kind or guam
tity of water furnished. But times
have changed. The city in it's ad-
vanccment and prosperity has ne
elected to keep the water system
up TO date. III has forgotten to give
it's best friend square deal. Now
the rumble of the thunder is
heard the storm is approaching.
All kinds of complaints are heard
as to quality and quantity. The
wise men of The council have met
together i'm solemn conclaVe many
times, but so far have not been
able to come to a decided opinion
as TO The disease or remedy.
1t was decided some timesago to
call an expert or a specialist on
the ailments of water systems to
diagnose the case but this has
been hanging fire in hopes that
homo talent will YET define the
case and give remedy.
The people OF this city should
all know the conditions. On ac-
count of different causes the wat
er level over Western Iowa, has
been getting lower each season,
consequently our pump cannot do
the work of former times, not be-
ing able to reach the water. The
question TO be decided is shall we
be- optimistic and hope the water
line will rise again or be pessimis-
tic and put in deep we'll and a
deep we'll pump and go after the
water. The cost will be consider
able hui lhe city can not afford to
run any risk on a failure in its
water supply.
From April 1sl. to July 1st., 1913
water pumped as recorded 33, ,322-
96A gallons at cost of S2783. .63.
This is no water meter meas
urement and it is doubtful of
!. 100000 gallons were actually
pumped. This is costing the people
too much for water and still run
a chance OF a failure all together.
Let the folks all figure.

Christ or ..theD Christ.

Protestants do not use the article
before the word Christ, although from
a pathological viewpoint this is quite
incorrect. AS everyone knows, Christ
Is an adjective In Greek, meaning an
Ointed. Now, an adjective cannot be
employed alone without name or an
article. We can, therefore, but say
Jesus Christ, or the Christ. Christ
alone has no meaning whatever. Also,
IN view Of the fa~l that there have been
several Christs, the term "the Christ"
is more appropriately applied to Jesus
to distinguish the Christian Savior
FROM all others.
