IOWA LEMON MADE FOUR LUsC.
IOUS PIES.
II Grew i'm Yard i'm Cedar Rapids
and This Story is True.

Cedar Rapids, Ia.-This is a story
of lemon and as true as gospel, for
the man who vouches for it has a
reputation in Cedar Rapids that is
just as good as George Washington's.
Frank Zastera grows fruit as a
side line. His orchard is in his back
yard. Last week he harvested his
1919 lemon crop and it was a
whopper. 1t consisted of one lemon
that weighed one pound and four
ounces, or almost four times larger
than the ordinary lemon. There were
seventeen buds on the tree and Mr..
Zastera plucked all except one, which
caused the enormous lemon to de-
velop. 1t was full of juice, with only
a small amount of pulp and the
rind is exceptionally thin.

Boy Fell Into Deep Well.

Vinton, Ia.-Carl Seely, years
old, owes it to his own presence of
mind and nerve that he is alive.
The lad, with Roger Pyburn, also
only years old, was cleaning up
the yard and stepped on the wooden
cover of an old we'll which gave way.
He fell forty feet into three feet of
water.
He grabbed a pump pipe that re-
NAMED in the we'll, fortunately,
and so was able to keep his head
above the water. The companion
gave the alarm and the boys mother
stood by the mouth OF the we'll en-
couraging the lad to hold to the pipe
and not be frightened. Relatives and
neighbors dropped harness lines
down to him and he managed to tie
them around himself so that he
could be drawn to the top.

SCHOOL DAYS WORTH so EACH.
IL You Quit School to Accept Job
for Less Than 50 Per Day You
Lose.

Waterloo, Ia.-How much are
your school days worth? This ques-
tion has often been argued, but the
United States department Of labor
says each school day is worth $500
to the child. ".1 v~
According to a bulletin received
by Elmer l.. Ritter, principal of Jun
Tor High, the following froof is Of
fered to sustantiate the 1902 per
day claim.
Uneducated laborers earn on the
average of $500 per year for forty
years, making a total of $50, 900
High school graduates earn on the
average, $1,000 per year for forty
years, or $4,000. This education
required twelve years of school Of
$50 days in each year, making to-
tai Of 2,160 days spent in the school
room. If 2,160 days at school add
$4,000 to the income for life, then
each day adds 1902. The child that
stays out of school to earn less than
50 per day is losing money, not
making money.
There are many other interesting
tables and statements contained in
the bulletin. Following are few Of
them:
Out of FIVE million with no school
ing, only 81 attained distinction.
With elementary schooling of
thirty-five million, sos attained dis
tinction.
Only one million secured a col
lege education, but SOS attained
distinction.
The child with no schooling has
one chance in 10000 of performing
distinguished service; with element
airy training he has four times the
chance; with a high school edu-
cation, 81 times the chance; and
with college education, 500 times
the chance.
Less than 1 per cent of American
men are college graduates, yet this l
per cent has furnished:
Fifty-five per cent of our presi-
dents; SO per cent of the members
in congress; AZ per cent of the
house; "a per cent of the vice-presi-
dents; 62 per cent of the secretaries
of state; so per cent of the secre-
taries of the treasury; 81 per cent of
the attorney generals; and 60 per
cent of the justices of the supreme
court.

HORSE DIED OF FRIGHT.
Buckled and Fell Dead When i
Spied Dredge Engine.

Logan, Ia.-Did a horse ever die Of
fright? Prof. c. M. Wilder believes
so. One of his team dropped dead
when he tried to force it by dredge
engine, working at Willow creek,
west of Logan. He is positive that
fright killed the animal. AS the
horses were driven toward the engine
the animal reared and plunged and
the driver forced it on with the whip.
Suddenly the animal plunged forward
and fell dead. Professor Wilder had
gone the west Magnolia road to
avoid meeting a traction engine.

SOUND INVESTMENTS
OTHERS.
AND
The Northwood Anchor has the Fol-
lowing Interesting Comment on
Stock Investments.

1T is we'll known fact, and one
Of the serious inconsistencies of hu-
man nature, that persons who have
money to invest seek opportunities
away from their home or immediate
vicinity instead of taking advantage
of safe and sound investments near
er at hand. Northwood and Worth
county people have in the past held
much stock in California gold mines,
southern fruit plantations, and such
like more or less risky ventures. Pos
sibly some still hold much stock.
Sometimes it has paid and many
times it has not. We are inspired to
write just now on account of the
splendid opportunity offered to in
vestors by the Decker Packing COM
pany of Mason City. This concern is
in a most healthy and flourishing
condition, with a business that has
increased from $4,000 in 1899 to
approximately $2O,O00,000 in 1918.
Stock can be purchased now in
amounts from one 500 share up and
the purchaser may feel assured that
he is investing in a growing concern
and an institution that is credit
to northern Iowa. Write the Decker
company for full information. This
is not a paid advertisement but
genuine boost for an institution that
is offering a gilt-edge PROPOSITION to
investors"
