A MODEL HOME ALL
pATn FOR

We had the pleasure of a short visit
with Jacob Greder, Son section %, Wash
ington township, on Friday. Mr.. Cred
err owns $50 acres of fine land in Wash
ington, and the beauty of it is that he
has it paid for, and very highly i'm.
proved. He has lived on the place 22
years, and when he purchased the orig
irlal 120 acres there was hardly any i'm
provements at all. All that remains of
the old buildings is a small building
that might, have been used as a pump
house. The house which Mr. Greder
built is a very commodious one, mod
ern throughout, electric lighted and fur
mace heated, x the. woodwork being in
hard oil. A large. wide porch on the
east furnishing an excellent lounging
place during the summer evenings, and
the porch is equipped with swinging
seats, comfortable rockers and chairs.
One of the best things on the place is
a never failing spring, and from this
water is piped all over the place, and
at the house the milk and wash room
has running water all the, time. Mrs.
Greder certainly knows how to keep
things shipshape too, for the cement
floor in this building was spotlessly
clean. Here she has a double washing
machine run by electricity and the
light plant is also located in this build
ing. .-r,-s,, .,v~,q,.aa ''t
A large barn built some years ago
could not be duplicated for twice the
original cost y now, and it furnishes
room for the horses and COWS, and the
grain and hay. There are many other
buildings on the place all painted in
good shape, the house is surrounded
with an ornamental, chicken tight
fence and everything about the yard is
kept up in systematized manner. Will
lam Staller had been on the place with
his power wood saw, and there was q
pile of dry stove wood that would make
coal striker think twice.
In the cattle yard we noticed some
26 head of feeding cattle. and they were
in fine order, and will no doubt make:
Mr.. Greder some money. s... -,
Two loads of hogs had been sold at
Sioux City for $20.95 some time ago.
He also had 1926 head Of white and black
hogs running in the pasture. The two
almost grown sons were unloading corn,
and the. entire family had been picking
the day we called. The corn was good,
too, going better than SO bushels
straight through. On this place were
housed Ford and a big Jeffries. The
Greders are contented, and enjoy their
work very much.
William I4indberg. who has owned
the elevator at Kiron for about a week,
business 100000 pounds of popcorn,
that had been contracted for during
the early season. The price contracted
was cents per pound. Mr.. Lindberg
has also purchased more than a car
load of small grain, and shipped it out.
He is now making contracts for field
corn.

B. w. Hunt, the DurOc breeder at
Denison, was over at Geneva, Iowa.
during the past week and purchased a
fine Pathfinder pig of Leech Wiseman.
The Pathfinder line is fast gaining
prominence, and to mate this fine ami
NAL Mr.. Hunt went to Lake City also
and purchased a great Pathfinder gilt
Of John Thompson. q,
Over at Schleswig the other day we
met Max LaFrentZ, who lives just
across the Ida county line. He had
Just purchased SO head Of feeders, and
says he believes he is going to make
money on them.
Farmers of Crawford county are not
SO much interested in the coal strike
now as they are in getting their corn
cribbed, and this they are doing by put
ting in long hours, and making every
minute count. And in getting their
corn picked they are having the hearty
cooperation Of all the women folk on
