MRS. Il. A. LE CLERE
ANSWERS SUMMONS
DEATH FOLLOWS OPERATION AT
UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL AT
IOWA CITY.
FUNERAL SERVICES SATURDAY
Leaves Husband and Eight Children
and Large Circle of Intimate
Friends.

i Mrs. H. A. LIE Clere passed away at
the University hospital at Iowa City
Wednesday evening, following an OPP
Grafton for mastoids. Mrs. LIE Clere
had been in failing health for several
months, and when serious complica-
tiOns arose she was taken to Iowa
City to be operated upon as last re-
sort to prolong her life. For time
following the operation her condition
seemed to be encouraging, until bron-
chial pneumonia developed, and which
her frail body was unable to combat.
The remains were brought to this
city Thursday evening and taken to
the family home, and funeral services
held in the Presbyterian church on
Saturday afternoon, at $3.50. Inter-
iment was made in Oakland cemetery.
Rev. w. A. Montgomery, pastor of the
Presbyterian church, had charge Of
the services.
1 Margaret Strane was born in Allie
ghany county Pennsylvania, Febru-
airy 25th, 1855. In 1859 her parents
settled in the west, and located on a
farm IA miles south of Dubuque, where
she grew to young womanhO0d. She
was united in marriage at the Strane
homestead to Mr.. Henry A. LIE Clere,
on March IS, 1880, and after their
marriage settled on the LIE Clere
homestead eight miles south of Dubu-
que. They resided on this farm for
about ten years, when they removed
to Bumcomb, Iowa, where they lived
until 1907. In the fall of 1907 the
family located on farm six miles
southwest of Manchester, where they
resided until 1916, when they came
to Manchester
Mrs LIE Clere is survived by the
husband and eight children: Rev.
James LIE Clere, pastor Of the Third
United Presbyterian church Of ST.
Louis, Mo-, Mrs. M. H. Whitney of
Pierre, South Dakota R. Abner Lee
Clere of near Dundee; Harry w. Lee
Clere of Manchester; Fred LIE Clere Of
Des Moines; Archie " lie Clere Of
Tulsa, Oklahoma; Mrs. Gerald Cooley
Of Washington, D. c.; and Earl Le-
Clere, member of the sanitary train
|of the 133rd regiment in training at
Camp Cody, New Mexico. One daugh-
ter, Mrs. David Jones, died at her
home near Manchester March 5th.
1917. Mrs lie Clere is also survived
by one sister, Mrs. Jennie Acheson,
Of Parnassus, Pennsylvania; two
brothers, Jackson Strane of st. Paul,
Minnesota; and Rev. A. X. Strane of
Cartier, Illinois, and who is the pas
tor Of the Romine Prairie Presbyter-
ian church.
Mrs. LIE Clere's death removes one
of the best women from this communi-
ty. She was devoted wife and moth
er, and possessed such qualities Of
mind and heart that endeared her to
a large circle of friends outside of the
immediate family circle. Her home
was always her first consideration,
and during the years she labored faith
fully for those who were near and
dear to her. Mrs. LIE Clere was a
member of the Presbyterian church,
and gave freely of her time and
strength to the work of the organi
zation
She was a good mother and will be
greatly missed by the members Of
the family, who have the profound
sympathy of their fiends in this
time of sorrow.

Hopes to Breed
Ne,u Type of Corn
An interesting experiment in breed
~, is to be undertaken in the

ms season by County Agent
| Buchanan, in the hope Of developing
| breed of corn especially adapted TO
this county and locality. At the w. ,.
| Secor farm, near Melbourne, the
county agent found an unknown and
| unnamed kind of white corn. Mr.,
Secor has been growing 1t for several
years and altho an unknown breed. II
has many of the best characteristics
Both the 1915 and 1917 seed was found
strong in termination tests, and the
result has been that 400 bushels Of 1t
has been distributed to farmers in the
southwestern part of the county. The
seed has been testing IS to 80 per cent
strong in termination.
The county agent has procured a
quantity Of the seed which he Will
plant in experimental plots on the I.
E. Arney farm. northwest Of Albion.
He will cross the unknown variety
with Silver King, to fix in the cross
bred the splendid characteristics that
are peculiar to Silver King. 1t is hoped
that the cross will produce type or
corn that will retain many Of the rea-
lures of the unknown variety and add
to it the larger and broader kernel or
Silver King. The method Of crossing
the breeds is to remove from one
variety the tassel and from the other
the silk. the two kinds OF corn being
planted together.
The demand for seed corn is being
well supplied and County Agent Buch-
anan thinks there is sufficient corn
available now to supply all the de-
mand that will probably arise in the
county. An additional supply has been
found near State Center that grades
% by test for termination and can be
bought for IS a bushel.

Testing Association
Ranks High in State

The Marshall County Cow Test
ing Association, altho organized only
a few months ago, ranks high in the
state, according to report from the
headquarters of the COW testing work
| at Iowa State College, Ames, to the
county agents office. In the number
of cows being tested. the association
ranks first with 44S. For several
months the local association has ranked
third for the largest number Of high
testing cows in any association in the
state, and this month the local asso-
citation is expected to advance to sec
ond place in this respect.
A misfortune to a milk COW, that will
be of general interest to members of
the association Monday befel the COW
which for three months has led the
other animals of the association in the
amount of milk produced and the
amount of butter fat. This animal, a
5year- old, owned by the Western
Grocer Company mills, showed symp-
toms of some disorder late last week.
A veterinarian was called but could
not diagnose the case. Late Monday
the COW died. An autopsy disclosed
that the COW had swallowed an eight
penny nail which must have been in
the ensilage. The nail had punctured
and torn an intestine. This COW had
been giving 1000 or more pounds Of
milk a month, and producing an av-
erage of sixty eight pounds of butter
fat per month. Experts point the fact
that the loss of such COW to COM
munity is more than the loss Of the
single animal. especially as this COW
had not yet reached the maximum OF
her production. The loss of the many
calves she would have borne is the
most serious feature Of such mis-
fortune.

POINTS FOR MOTORISTS.
Some Hints of Value to the Car
Drivers as Well as to the Repair
Men on How to Keep Car.

Loosening Bolts-lt is a common
failing of so-called stove bolts to
become loosened after a compare
lively brief period OF service in hold
ing together wooden and metal
parts. The failure is apt to come
through the loosening OF the head
in its seating, this permitting the
nut to obtain enough slack to rattle
loose on its thread. \ simple way
OF preventing this difficulty is to en-
large the slot across the head of the
bolt, cutting the ends pretty deep
by the aid of a file and then bending
over a short length of copper wire,
OF the size to fit in the slot. In this
way a couple OF ridges are formed
on either side OF the head, which ct-
fcctively prevent its turning 50 long
as reasonable amount OF pressure
is brought TO bear upon it.
Removing Gears-Whcn attempt
ing to remove sprockets or gears
from the shafts to which they are
attached by means OF taper or PLAIN
fits and keys, care must be eNer-
cised not to use the hammer too
| freely, for fear Of either tracturlng
the gear or springing it out of line.
A so-called pulley-puller or special
lack may be imnro"ised without diff
hculty und0~ any circuH-
stances. ?o .. o., the part may
be removed straight without impos-
ing any undue strain upon it.
Valve Stem Expansion-An OBJ
scure engine difficulty sometimes oc-
ours that is manifested by a reduc-
ton Of compression when the cylin-
ders are hot. although they may be
known to be tight when the parts
are cold. This is caused by the cN-
panSion of the valve stems during
the warming up process. Unless a
proper amount OF clearance is al
| lowed between the ends of the
stems and the tappctS this may be
enough to prevent the valves from
seating properly.
Braziug-ln brazing brass, cop
per, wrought iron and steel, clean
! the metal thoroughly at and near
the Joint to be brazed, by scraping
or filing. BE sure to ht the edges
closely together, Ii great strength
is required, lap the edges over each
other about a quarter OF an inch, \
good plan is to rivet the edges to-
gether to hold them in place. Place
brazing material along the joint.
Take finely powdered boraN, wet it
with water and place Il little along
the seam. Put the article over a
charcoal fire, Join down. Heat it
slowly and evenly, holding it about
an inch above the charcoal. When
the brazing material is all melted,
rap the part with hammer to in
duce the material to flow all through
the Joint. If the article is brass or
copper. it should be plunged into
cold water, ii steel or iron ii should
be allowed to cool slowly
Hardening Cast Iron-At times it
is desirable to harden medium or
small cast iron parts. Here how
