Yesterday being the seventh birth
day of Robbie Yonge, younger son of
Mr.. w. S. c. Yonge of Jacksonville,
several of his school mates were in
vited to the home of his grandpar-
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. R. E. Yonge, and
attended the movies, accompanied by
Mrs. Lewis Yonce and Mrs. Lester
Lucas. After seeing the pictures,
they returned to the house, where the
delicious big birthday cake with its
seven candles burning delighted the
eyes of the children and was after
wards cut and enjoyed with cool fruit
punch. Each child received a set of
pictures of moving picture actresses
and actors and later a huge sawdust
pic was brought out, which contained
souvenirs on strings to be pulled
which caused much merriment. AL
voted it happy afternoon spent.

RAINFALL BENEFICIAL TO
ALL GROWING PRODUCTS

Few rains have visited this county
at more opportune times than the
ones that came recently.
The rain fell in such a way that
the dry earth was able to utilize ev-
cry drop of it to advantage. Garden
stuffs locally showed the freshening
and beneficial effects of it so early as
Monday morning, Plants that had
been developing but slowly took on
new life in spite of the unfavorable
outlook
Farm crops will be especially bene-
fitted by the rains. The oats and
spring wheat will receive marked
benfits. Some of the wheat fields
looked fine while others had bare
spots where the seed failed to germ
mate. Winter wheat was less need
full of the shower but will share in
the benefits. The corn soil is damp
ened and il will aid the farmers in
preparing their soil for corn seeding.
The fall of moisture during the
winter had been small and those who
had occasion to dig into the soil
found il graduated and dry for a
distance of approximately two feet.
II is enough to say that the rain was
badly needed and its coming will re-
suit in benefits that cannot be esti-
mated at present.

ERNEST r.. MOORE is
OUT FOR GOVERNOR

The papers of Sunday morning
carried the information that Lieu
tenant Governor E. r. Moore, would,
undoubtedly before the close of the
present session of the legislature,
announce his intention to become a
candidate for governor on the repub-
lican ticket next year. This an
nouncement will not come in the nat
ure of a surprise to the many
friends of Mr.. Moore or to those who
are at all conversant with the po'
ical situation of the state. Mr..
Moore, it can be said at the outset,
should he be elected governor, would
conduct state affairs as he has con-
Quoted his own business, and that
is on strictly business principles,
which accounts in large measure
for his success. He also took the
craftsmanship of the water works
board at Cedar Rapids, an institution
that had'not shown any signs of be-
ing able to pay its way in the world
and put it on strong paying basis
and he did this without noise OF
blare of trumpets. There will be
other candidates undoubtedly, but
from a survey of the field at the
present line up and from purely eff
ficiency standard, Mr. Moore looks tt
be far and away the strongest of the
lot.-Center Point Independent

A DEBT OF GRATITUDE

1t cannot be said the government
is ungrateful in its treatment of the
soldiers. Everywhere throughout
the country reconstruction camps
are doing all they can to train the
wounded and MANNED men for posi-
tions where they can be self-sus-
tanning, so far as that is possible.
From the Stars and Stripes, the
official paper published in France on
the skirts of the war zone. we learn
that a body of troops is engaged in
searching for and locating the tenn
porary resting place of all the TO-
900 Americans who have given their
lives. In the nature of things they
cannot be successful in every case.
But in every district the bodies are
being identified, listed and re-inter-
red in the nearest cemetery where
they can have the loving care of the
grateful French villagers.
From the Stars and Stripes we
learn too. that Captain CHM,
French officer in charge of the Amer
lean aviation service, is devoting
his whole time to discovering the
bodies of the 179 American aviators
who were killed in the conflict. Up
to date of the paper he had discov-
cred the burial place of 100. The
same authority says the returns re-
ceived by the war department indi-
cate that about half the number of
the dead will be permitted to lie in
France.
For the living and the dead the
government is trying to do all that
it can. No previous army has been
looked after son tenderly as that
which formed the great American ar
my of emancipation.

COST OF PAVING
IOWA'S HIGHWAYS

Under the provisions of the new
road law it will be possible to pave
highways only after the voters of a
county have expressed willingness at
special or general election mas
much as ones willingness to pave
may be guarded by the probable cost
of the improvement it is well to an
alyze the proposition and get at the
actual cost in dollars and cents.
Twenty-Five percent of the cost of the
improvement is to be assessed
against the property benefited, the
balance being paid from the automo-
bile license fund, state and federal
aid.
The benefited zone is to extend
y miles on each side of the road,
the first quarter to bear 32 percent,
the second 25.6 percent, the third
1872 percent, the fourth 1913 percent,
the fifth ga percent and the sixth 4
percent of the portion of the paving
cost assigned to each side of the
road, the law providirg that the ben
Gifted property shall be assessed rs
percent. Concrete paving can be
constructed at cost of $4,000 per
mile, or less, while other forms
might DIlHS INC lOldl SOol uPto Wv,
900 per mile.
The Sac Sun has figured out that
paving at a cost of $4,000 per mile
for forty acre tract adjoining the
road could not exceed $500, for the
next forty back 1856, for the third
forty 1912, for the fourth forty
SIPS, for the fifty forty $64, for the
sixth forty $40. The cost to the
quarter section farm adjoining the
road would be only $3.50 per acre
and the cost to a farm half mile
back 81 per acre. And this cost
may be paid in ten annual payments
Can you conceived of land owner who
would not be willing to pay rs cents
per acre for ten years in order to
have a paved highway running past
his place?
The fact that every acre of land
abutting a paved road will be valued
at from $25 to $50. per acre higher
the moment such a road is opened up
will help some
1t will be worth your while to
make a careful study of the costs as
computed in this article so you may
be able to successfully combat the
"confscate my farm" tales of woe
emanating from some who evidently
do not know and do not care to know
the truth about the matter

NOT ALTOGETHER HIS FAULT

They were newly married, and she
was much too young to understand
that man takes but little interest in
shopping expeditions. She had left
his side to look at a window in which
were exhibited some new spring
fashions.
When she returned she took the
arm, which seemed to be half grudg-
ingly preferred, and sobbed:
"You-you don't even lo-look at
anything l want you Toto see. you
do-don't care how | am dressed.
You no longer lo-love me. You
haven't even ker-kissed me for
whole day and you"

pathetically down into her face.

she had taken the arm of the wrong

RAILROADS ARE READY
TO HANDLE CROPS

The railroad men report that the
condition of cars for the shipment of
grain this year is excellent. "Out of
order" cars are being sent in to the
shops as fast as discovered and the
elevator men have had to do less re-
pairing of cars to make them grain
tight than ever before in the history
of the road. The railroad admins
tration is making preparations to
handle the largest crop of grains this
year that has been known, for many
years. The acreage of wheat sown
here shows that the $2.26 per bushel
price is not going to be permitted to
escape notice in this section. With
the increase of wheat acreage there
comes a boomerang in the form of a
short production of corn The wheat
will bring a big price under govern
ment guarantee and shortage of corn
will bring big corn price based on
the old rule of supply and demand.
The boomerang will hit the producer
with the soft padded end while the
sharp hard end will hit the consum-

THE HOUSE FLY WORSE
MENACE-FEEDIN HABITS

OF all the habits of the fly, perhap:
the most important to us, is its feed
ing. We see it stalking over the but.
ter, the sugar and the bread, we see
it tasting the milk, but we do not
seem to realize or care to think that
this same fly may have been, a few
minutes before, feasting himself on
the contents of garbage can, or the
filth of the pit-closet.
The house fly cannot take in solid
| food as such, the solid has first to be
dissolved by its saliva. Neither has
il any mouth in the true sense of the
word, or as we know mouth, there
fore it cannot bite as is sometimes
supposed. The proboscis, or, as it is
incorrectly called, tongue" of the fly
is in reality a sort of trunk, especial
~ adapted to sucking functions and
has no piercing properties.
The house fly cannot pierce the
thinnest skin, as the piercing part
used by its cousin, the stable fly, is
absent in the house fly, and its pro-
boscis terminates in a pair of thick
ened lobes or lips, which 1t uses in
connection with the pharyngeal
pump, by which the liquids are
pumped up.
AS already mentioned, the fly can
not take in solid food, when, howev-
er ii is necessary to feed on bread,
sugar or died sputum, ETC., the solid
is first dissolved by the salivary fluid.
When thus liquifieed it is pumped up
by the powerful pharyngeal pump
through the gullet (oesophagus) to
the crop, which serves as a reservoir
for food. and enables the fly in a
short time to take in large quantity
which like Illuminating animals, such
as the COW, it can digest at its leis-
ure
The fiy can sometimes be seen to
regurgitate its food from the crop
and deposit it upon the place where
it is resting, repeating this process
and reabsorbing the vomit several
times, probably as means of further
digesting the fluid.
Thus il is seen that the mode of
transmission of disease by the house
fiy is different from that of the mos
quito. in wnose body certain deVel-
orme,.ts take place. With tie fy
the action is more a mechanical one.

ANNUAL CHANGING
OF TEACHERS ON

The county superintendent Of
flee is the clearing house for teach
ers of the schools of the county and
activity was noticeable recently.
This period of the year corresponds
to the first of March in the land
transfer business-it is the period
when the changing of teachers takes
place. Teachers who desire to
change their schools and directors
who desire changes or wish to re-
hire the teachers they have are COM
ing in to see about the matter. There
is yet large shortage in experienced
teachers. The teachers available
are for the most part inexperienced.
The shortage of experienced teach
ers is due to the leaving of teachers
for other occupations and matri-
monial entanglements
It is hard to make calculations for
the conditions of the future.

PLAY BALL

Now that spring is here and the
base ball season about to open lets
all boost for a real fast base ball
team so we can once more follow the
old home train to victory. We have
enough material around Manning to
make a good team.
There is nothing that has been de-
vised to date in all the years OF pro-
gress and enlightenment that has fix
ed and held such a grip upon this
free people as the great national
game of baseball 1t is adaptable to
persons of all ages, all creeds, all
callings and classes. 1t is the most
wholesome of sports. There is none
so easily understood. so readily APP
preciated and none more beneficial
to players and spectators alike.
If all the base ball fans will get
busy and boost for ball team Others
will fall in line and become boosters
for the greatest of all national sports
base ball.
The writer has talked to several
of the business men and they were
willing to do their share in support
ing a team, and also help in its or
ganiZation. That is only a start,
now then what will you do to help
support team?
Let's get busy and have meet
ing, elect a manager and get started.
Let's go!-Manning Monitor.
The weather here for the past
month has not been conducive to ball
practice, but good weather will even
tually come, so let's get busy in Au-
dubon and organize a real good ball
team. A live town like Audubon
should have a ball team by all means.
Now get busy you ball fans there is
plenty of good material here.
