TWIN BEDS.

Twin Beds" the ~uproarious com-
edy of apartment house dwellers win
be the attraction at the Auditorium on
Wednesday, December Is. This il the
fifth season for this remarkable plav
that is packing the houses every-
where. Theatrical experts are at a
loss to account for it. The fact hat
the present company and production
are far superior to those heretofore
offered may have something to do
with it, but that is not the psyche
logical reason. Is it the demand for
genuine comedy to relieve the strain
of world weary war conditions? If
so the answer is found, for there is
not a dull moment in Irwin Beds"
it is the funniest play ever written
and one that will last for years. The
San Francisco Chronicle, under the
date of September 18th this year says
Twin Beds" opened for a two weeks
engagement at the Columbia Theatre
last night to a splendid audience and
again scored heavily. This famous
play never had a better cast to bring
out all the fun in all of its uproar-
ious situations.

DEPUTY GAME WARDENs DISPOSE
OF 1900 POUNDS At FORT
DODGE.
PEOPLE BUYING AND
DRYING FOR FUTURE USE
State Finding Heavy Demaru For
Buffalo and Carp ssined From Lakes
Money From Sales Turned Back
Into State Game Fund-Available to
All in 100 Pound Lots.

Fort Dodge, Jan. EVERY pound OF
the 1000 pounds of fish imported to
this city from Spirit Lake had been
sold by 1880 yesterday afternoon. This
sale Of carp and buffalo fish which
opened Thursday morning at 10 o'clock
in the store room at III South Twelfth
street was conducted by assistants OF
State Game Warden Hinshaw and
proved to be a great success. 1t was
upon the suggestion of Mayor Ford
that such a sale be held in this city
and for this timely suggestion many
Fort Dodge people are grateful.
Mr. Menor, one of the men who
helped conduct the sale, stated that II
was not usually hard to dispose OF
this amount OF fish in towns Of this
size or smaller, for many people buy
as much as 200 or 800 pounds and dry
il for future use. People who wish to
purchase more Of the fish, or anyone
who did not get any this time may
send directly to E. C. Hinshaw at
Spirit Lake and obtain the fish in loo
pound lots or more.
The money taken in at this sale is
turned over to the state and part OF
it used to place game fish in the differ
ent Iowa lakes. This process of netting
fish at Spirit Lake is gone thru with
each fall AS soon as the lake freezes
solid enough to hold a person the nets
are put into the water under the ice
and the work starts. This lasts until
March and sometimes until almost the
first Of April. as long as the permit
holds good. This winter for the hls'
time women are netting fish at Spirit
Lake. The game fish that are most de-
sirable in the lake are pike, bass ana
pickerel Last year 100000 PIKE
were Matched in Spirit Lake.

Ames, Jan. 5.-That Iowa has enough
seed corn that Is fit to plant her next
years crop Is assured, according 10
figures just put out by the agriculture!
extension department Of Iowa Stat e
College. While the seed IS scarce and
unusual methods Of preparation foA
the field are necessary, still, when the
ed, 1T is believed by those who have
been on this work, that there will be
sufficient good seed to plant Iowa S
acreage but that there will be no sur
plus to go out OF the state.
The. survey just completed covers
thirty-one counties scattered all over
the state. In twentynine of these a
farm to farm survey has been or IS
nearly completed. In five. more gen.
eral survey has been taken, locating
especially the larger amounts.
Twenty nine of these counties show
that there are 1921 bushels Of seed
corn still needed to fill the needs Of
next spring. This makes an average
Of $500 bushels per county. In thirty
one OF the counties, 1882 bushels Of
old corn has been located. This makes
a division Of ESQ bushels Of good last
years seed: per county. The investI-
gators have found in all, $4,000 bushels
Of new corn that will make good seed il
properly tested.
Twelve Counties Report Surplus.
In all, twelve counties report a sur
plus Of 81, 400 bushels. thirteen Of the
counties worked over show that there
will be no surplus from them, while
the other six report that there may be
a possible surplus when the survey has
been definitely completed. The figures
show that there will be $4,000 bushels
of seed corn needed. The committees
have found that there will be total of
463, 900. bushels that are available for
seed. OF this $4,000 bushels are old
and 250,000 bushels new corn. When
this corn has been tested there will be
a shrinkage so that the committee ex-
pectS the amounts needed and avail
able will about balance.
While tho corn Is soft and the seed
needs an ,Inusual amount Of testing, 1t
Is the opinion Of the committee that
1t will be better for the farmers to use
Iowa seed instead of that brought in
from other states. because iowa seed
will not need to be acclimated.
