LOST WIFE In FRANCE.
Writes Husband That She is Red
Cross Nurse.

Lafayette, Ind, Feb. IS. Five
months ago Mrs. Uuella Yarno, wife
of Frank Yarno, a young Benton
county farmer of French parentage
disappeared from home without as
much as saying goodbye to her hus-
band. Ever since he has been seek
ing some trace of her, but in vain
The mystery puzzled the entire
French settlement IL Benton county
as Mrs. Yarno was one of the most
popular members of the colony.
The other day a letter came to
the Yarno home. 1t was postmarked
France" Yarno opened it, and
found it was from his wife. She had
gone to France to become a Red
Cross Nurse on the battlefields.
81 knew you had to go to the
army" she wrote, "and l too, want
ed for a long time to go to the home
of my parents in France, ald serve
under its flag. The ocean is much
wider than l thought, and 1 am in G
strange land, but l am happy"
Yarno recalled that two years age
his wife had expressed a desire tc
go TO France and become wal
nurse, but he never associated hel
remark with her disappearance. The
young man is of draft age and ex-
poets to be called in the next group
Il may meet her il France some
day." he said. Mrs. Yarno former
ly lived at Kankakee, her maiden
name being Nuella Enslee. She was
educated in convent schools at Kan,
kakee and Chicago, and took hospi.
tai work for a time before her mar.
riage. She and Yarno had been mar.
ried six years, and always had lived
happily together, this fact making heI
sudden disappearance all the more
puzZling. How she made her way
across the ocean and succeeded il
getting into the Red Cross, she has
promised to explain to her husband
in subsequent letter.

GOAT BREEDERS ACTIVE.
Invading Iowa in Effort to Aid Dairy
Industry.

With feed prices unusually high
and owners of dairy cattle finding
the feeding of dairy COWS expensive,
the breeders of milk goats are boost
ing the milk goat industry in Iowa.
Heretofore milk goats have been
more prevalent in California and in
other states where feed for breeders
are invading this state. There are
number of herds in Iowa.
The state fair association has de-
cided to put in classes for milk goats
in it's live stock premium offerings
The breeders of these animals are
promising to bring on an interesting
display. The head of the organiza-
tion of milk goat breeders is in Cali
fornia.
Goat milk tests all the way from
to IL per cent butter fat. 1t is sc
rich that it has to be diluted fol-
children's use. In some places this
milk brings high prices.
The state fair association will also
put in class for Belgian hares at
this coming fair. This is another in
dustry which isbeing pushed because
of the scarcity of meat and the con-
ditions growing out of the war.
The government will have exhibits
at the big fairs this year including
the Iowa State Fair. The agricultur-
al department of the government will
show it's activity in an exhibit to be
put on at all the big fairs. The
government may also make war ex-
hibts aid may secure the loan OF
war trophies from France, England
Belgium, and other allied countries

Nearly SmOthered by Onions.

Fumes from a car load of onions

of the car they lost consciousness

fresh air by other wOrkmen. They
were taken to the city hospital,
where it was said their condition

HAND BATTLE WITH WOLF.
WOrthington Man ChOkes Animal
After Underground Fight.

Bellevue, Ia, Feb. 1S.-One Lar
ry O'Brien, living near Worthington
in Dubuque county recently had an
experience he will not soon forget
O'Brien tracked a wolf to it's den
and set trap for it. Returning a
few days later, he found the trap
had been carried away, and following
the trail he found the trap. and fox
but the latter had been partly de-
voured by wolves.
He followed the trail of the
wolves and it led him to the same
den in which the fox had been trap
ped. He set the trap for the wolf,
and when he came back the next
day, the trap had been carried far
back il the den.
Here O'Brien showed he was nc
coward, for he crawled back into
the den for ten feet, and grabbing
hold of the VOLTS tail, tried to pull
it out. The wolf turned and bit him
in the neck. Then began a two hour
underground struggle, the man with
only his bare hands and strong
arms pitted against the snarling
cruelty of the wolf with it's sharp
teeth and nails. Nearly exhausted
O'Brien finally got hold of the wolf
10y the neck and choked it to death.
When he reached home, he was
covered with blood from the scra-
tches and wounds.

Heated Lodge Room With Oil
Stoves.

1t was interesting to note the new
style of admission to a certain lodge
at Oelwein Thursday night, says the
Register. The hall was heatless and
the method in vogue was for each
one who possessed an oil stove hea-
ter to bring it along. At one time
three members were admitted after
the lodge was opened and each one
carried stove. Some of us have
been attending lodges for the past
thirty years are having new experien-
ces in the ''heatless" line. The
score of members wore their over
coats and sat as near as possible to
one of the heaters.

HOUSES FUR RENT IN TOWN OF MESA
 SCARCE AS DOD0S

MESA, July 5.-What will Mesa do for houses this fall when the people who want to live here begin coming, is the question puzzling that portion of the populace interested in the fur ther growth of the town.
 s. B. Schupp, teller at the First National bank has been connected with the local institution for num- Der of months, and only a few days ago succeeded in leasing apartments in the Kimball property on Main street. All this time MT. Schupp has been compelled to go back and forth to Phoenix each day. where his family remained for lack of a dwelling, pre- ferring to stay there in the home cwned by them rather than put up as transients in a hotel or rooming house here.
 Superintendent Matthews of the public schools also is in trouble over the house situacon. His years lease expires Monday and he has tried all over town for . residence only to find there are no vacant dwellings. In fact, so serious Is the situation, the school trustees are figuring on erect ing a dwelling to be rented to the school superintendent and his sue cessors, a building that shall be per manently kept for this purpose only
 In speaking of the situation yes terday, MT. Matthews said it would be problem where the men teachers with their families. who will move here at the beginning of the school year, shall be housed. Without a desirable vacant house in town and even with few if any less desirable houses for rent, the town is destined to remain at a standstll so far as increase of population is greatly con- cerned, The only way to get a house is to buy one, and home owners here, being people of sound judgment. are not anxious to sell for all things con- sidered, there is only one gate city to the Roosevelt dam. but even Mesa has two things lacking, plenty of rent houses and town park.

Side lights on life with the Ameri- can Expeditionary Force in France. in- teresting news about what the boys from home are doing and thinking and how they occupy their spare time when not on duty is a little of what is con- tained in a letter from P G. Beukers, a Phoenix young man, a private in Company G, 161st |. s. Infantry, now somewhere in France.
 Private Beukers was an employe of the Pratt Gilbert company, and the letter from which a portion is taken was written to P. F. Helm. manager of Pratt-Gilbert. Mr. Beukers left Phoenix in October of last year and went to San Francisco where his par ents live. He registered in that city and when inducted in the service was sent to Camp Lewis, American Lake Washington, where he remained a brief time, going from there to a camp on Long Island. He arrived in France on the last day of 1917. Following is a portion of his letter:
 Expert With Shovel
 May 30, 1918. My Dear MT Helm:-
 Last week I was delighted to receive a bundle of Arizona Republicans, and this week another bundle arrived. It was the first news I had from Phoenix for some time and I only hope I will be able to repay your kindness some day.
 Since last writing you I have been much travelling all over France. But so far I am afraid that I have disap- pointed my fritnds when they ask me the embarrassing question of where I was and what I did during the last offensive. If this war was not such a serious proposition I would think it the best joke out. However, if we have not used our pick and shovels for digging in we have exercised enough with said implements to enable yours truly to qualify for first class section hand or "A Al sewer digger in any place on earth. It is great to be in an | outfit whose middle name is work, and whose members represent every occupation on earth, and if there is nothing doing in their line they can adapt themselves to anything, from horse doctors to building ammunition depOts with everything between Iagreeable and disagreeable, But, as our colonel told us, we will have our chance, then this active, outdoor life will have hardened us up and will serve us in good stead when We start to clean up a few Huns.

mourning seek solitude and avoid their friends too much. They get in a habit of breeding and often become very abnormal It would have been much better if at the start they could have plucked up their courage and gone with their friends.
 Yet, there is question if, not merely in war time, but always, this attitude is not unWholesome and sometimes selfish. It does create an atmosphere of gloom. Many men. feeling this depressing gloom, tell their wives never to put on black for them. They hate to leave be- hind this perpetual suggestion of fu- nerals.
 Few men wear black for bereave- ment though the custom of wearing a black band on the arm is still oc- casionally observed. Men feel sor- row as much as women. yet are forced by the pressure of work to leave it all behind them.

WEAR NO MOURNING
 UNTIL END OF WAR?
Newark AdNocate(

The suggestion is made by the Dry Goods Economist that during war time women discard the habit of wearing black for lost friends. This is urged on the ground of scarcity of clothing materials, and the de- pressing influence of black in a time of national sorrow.
 In times of grief women feel a cer- tain reserve about mingling with gay life, The black dress is a suggestion that they are in sorrow, and should not be pressed into scenes of merri- ment.
 The wearing of black does tend to set a person apart little, and if often makes women morbid. And it helps to spread gloom. Women in
