HEADINGTON HEADS ASSOCIA-
TION.
VIM. Halington Elected Presiden.
First Cow Testing Association
i'm Winneshiek.

At a meeting of farmers at the
court house last Saturday afternoon
the first Cow Testing Association in
Winneshiek county was organized.
VIM. Headington, President; T.
E. Sellness, Vice President; c. C.
! Pilgrim, Sec.-Treas; o. B. Goodno,
Dir, R. J, White, Dir.
This step marks an important
point in the improvement of dairy
ing in the county. Where similar
organizations have been formed in
other counties and states, more as
sociations are inevitably the results.
all of which goes to foster more and
better dairying.
The association will employ an
experienced milk tester who will no
doubt, start work during the early
part of July. People in the west and
southwest parts of the county are
anxious to build up a similar associa-
ton. 1t is our hope that this may be
possible during the next few weeks.
This idea Of milk testing is by no
means a new one. 1t is now past
twenty-five years since the idea
originated. 1t has long been tried and
established. Consequently it will
prove of immense value to others.
Farm Tour Being Planned.
Three specialists will be furnished
us in tour of eight or ten farms
in this county. Since this tour is
being arranged through five counties
of northeast Iowa, word has not as
yet been received as to whether the
tour will be made in this county on
July 7th or 18th. Letters will be
sent out to Farm Bureau members
later in the week when the details
reach US. Anyone interested in the
tour can procure the information
from any of the banks in the county
or members of our association.
Notices will be sent to all Of them,
including complete details.
The tour is being laid out and
will include visits to farms with
variety tests of Soy beans, Alfalfa,
Belgians, Purebred Shorthorns,
'Herefords, Holsteins, Poland Chinas,
Durocs, Shropshires and it will also
include farm mechanics such as
water system, lighting systems and
other modern farm conveniences and
equipments.
Plan to take your family for an
all-day outing and picnic drive.
Bring your lunch. Plan to spend the
day with the party. 1t will be an
instructive outing. Talk it over with
your neighbors and work I'D a dele
cation. The party will gather at the
court house and proceed at 9 o.
clock either on July or II. 1t will
wind up at DEBORAH at about o.
clock. Let's make this farm tour a
good one.

Cut-Out Artists Still BUSY,

While quite few of the drivers
who have been using thir cut-outs
on their cars have ceased the prac-
tice since the mayors warning there
are still enough violating the law
and they should be taken care of by
the officers. If these laws are worth
having they are worth enforcing, and
should be enforced to the letter, and
no favorites played. Get the local
fellow, rich or poor, prestige or no
prestige, just the same as the stran-
ger who might get within the gates.
II a man can afford to operate a car
he can afford also to know the law
in respect to operating it. And on
the other hand cities have police
officers to enforce the laws. Some
drivers when spoken to by an officer
feel grossly insulted, assume the
privileged character air, etc. But the
sooner the officer performs his duty
the sooner these cut-out nuisances
will be abated.

Unearthed Human Skull.

Bert Ruth was exhibiting human
skull on the streets here last Friday.
1t was found ON his land on the
West Side, while workmen were
hauling out gravel. The rest of the
bones of the body were there also,
but these were soft and crumbled up.
The skull was hard and the teeth
were practically all intact in it.
On this land there is a number of
mounds, and it was possible bury
ing ground of the Indians years ago.
One physician who examined the
skull suggested that it was probably
that of an Indian.

in game at the fair grounds, and
DEBORAH won by a score of II to 2.
Hans Anderson was on the mound
for DEBORAH, and got II strikeouts
to his credit. Sullivan, of Burr Oak,
did the receiving. Some or the old

team was made up of new faces, and
none of the old familiar warriors
were on deck.
While the crowd was not very
large all those who attended the
game were we'll repaid. DEBORAH
scored once in the second when Rima
got two base hit, stole third and

Welded at Ridgeway Wednesday

Welded at Ridgeway Wednesday,.
A very pretty wedding occurred at
Ridgeway, Iowa, on Wednesday,
June rs, 1919, at five p. m, when
Mr.. Hubert C. Luhman and Miss
Nettie M. Gunderson were united in
marriage, about sixty guests witness
sed the ceremony, following which
an elaborate wedding supper was
served.
The groom is a son of Mr.. and
Mrs. II. s. Luhman of this city,
splendid and upright young man in
every particular, and who for a
number of years past has been as
sistant cashier of the First State
Bank of Ridgeway. And his bride is
the charming daughter of one of
Ridgeway's oldest and most highly
respected families. The young couple
start out on the voyage of life under
most favorable circumstances and it
is the wish of us all that health, hap
lpiness and prosperity may hover
round about their home.
The young couple came to Post
vile by car Wednesday evening and
left on the early Thursday morning
passenger west on honeymoon trip,
the itinerary of which is known to
none but the couple themselves.
They will be "at home" Ridgeway,
Iowa, after August first.-Postville

Bureau.

A meeting of the Winneshiek
County Farm Bureau will be held
in the small court room next Satur-
day, July 5, at p. m. All members
expected and all other progressive
helpers welcomed. Plan your bust
ness and farm work to attend an
hour and help make our county
bureau up to the best in the state,
as Winneshiek always does. Organi-
cation in all other caIlings makes it
imperative that farmers too, in these
days of unheard of progress and high
priced lands, must seize every help
they can get or fall behind the pro-
cession. Come out and boost.

Scientific Discussions.
by Garrett P. Serviss

Many would-be inventors, not all
young, come to me for things that
l cannot give them. These are not,
in most cases, the things that they
actually ask for, but simply the
things that they are really after.
Two of the most important of them
are money, and assistance in invent
ing. While l cannot give these 1
can give what l think may be use
ful-some commonplace advice
about things that the young inven-
tor ought to avoid.
First, don't ask somebody to fur
nish you with money to enable you
to perfect your invention: for no
body will do it. You cannot ex-
pect any pecuniary assistance as
long as the invention is not com
pleted, and when you have com
pleted, it, or think you have. no
body is likely to bear for you the
expense of proving that it will work.
These are things that the inventor
must count upon taking on his own
shoulders. They may constitute a
hardship sometimes, but that hard
ship is a part of the price of sue
cess.
Second, don't try to get some
body to blow horn for you. to at
tract the attention or the public.
Such advertisement would do you
no good if you could get it. The
public is only interested in what
already succeeds, and the rich in
Vestors at whom you are really aim
ing in your attempt at publicity, will
shy like experienced trout at your
lure. If your invention works, and
il it meets a need, it will blow its
own horn. The regular methods of
publicity are the only ones worth
while.
Third, don't expect somebody
else to get you out of your difficult
ties. The most altruistic person In
the world will not take great deal
of interest in helping another man
to invent a new thing, and expert
ence shows that partnership in in
vention is the poorest kind of part
nership.
Fourth, don't think that you have
made an invention because a plan
of it on paper looks as though it
ought to work. The machine is the
thing, and the only thing. Yet, T
have known persons who spent q
great deal of time and effort seek
ing for money to push supposed
invention which they had not carried
beyond the paper stage. Inventors
of perpetual motion" machines, ac-
