FARM BUREAU GLEANINGS.
Winneshiek County Farmers Insti-
tute Organized.

Last Saturday a number of Win.
-neshiek county farmers got together
at the court house and organized the
Winneshiek County Farmers Insti-
tute. Mr.. o. o. Lomen was elected
president and definite plans were
laid out for a series of Institutes
throughout the county on January
Is, ID, and Is. In connection with
this will be put on a Corn, Small
Grain, Vegetable, Fruit, Poultry and
Colt Show at DEBORAH. A committee
has been appointed to look after
the local details and in setting up
the plans for these shows. Premium
lists and definite schedules will be
arranged and announced later. There
is a great deal of interest in this
idea just now. Everything goes to
indicate that a splendid series of In
stitutes and "a mighty good show
will be staged. Speakers and judges
have been procured from Iowa State
College. Watch the papers for more
definite announcements later on.

Corn Husking Swindlers.

harrisburg, Ia.-Through the farm
beureau agent at Webster City w.
W. Martin secured two likely look
ing corn huskers. The men seemed
to enjoy their beds on Saturday
night and ate breakfast with a relish
on Sunday morning. Farmer Martin
had to meet passenger train Sun
day morning and the men accom-
panied him to harrisburg.
As Mr.. Martin entered the depot
he noticed his would-be pickers go
ing behind the elevator. After wait
ing in the depot some time Martin
came out to see his "help" travelling
east on a ''tie pass"
At first Martin treated the matter
as a joke, but as he gave it thought
the principle involved made him seek
justice. He consulted the mayor and
then warmed up his jitney and
journeyed eastward to meet his for
mer dodgers at a crossing.
Martin, alone, collected good
fair price for lodging and breakfast.
Martin still has 100 acres of good
corn and needs some real men and
not transcients.

what Fools We Mortals he.

One of the chief reasons for the
high cost of living was explained by
Henry Ford when he said the ques-
ton of transportation is not only a
matter of engines, cars and tracks,
but also the useless carting around
the country of materials that need
not be carted. What is the use of
hauling a live steer all the way from
Texas, turning it into beef at Chi
cago and hauling it all the way
back to Texas again? What is the
use of hauling wheat thousand
miles as wheat, and then hauling it
back again as -four? 1t doubly bur-
dens the railroads, puts the farmer
at the mercy of centralized buyers,
and adds heavily to the consumers
bill. Wheat should be turned into
flour where it is raised. Hogs should
be shipped as hams and bacon-the
finished product. Wherever possible
the process of production should be
completed in the community where it
begins. This would relieve the rail-
ways, make each community more
independent of railway extigencies
and be better all around.
Some years ago the Shield traced
"a bushel of wheat grown on a Iowa
farm and sold in Des Moines back to
the man who raised it, after it had
been made into flour. The wheat was
sold to local buyer, who shipped it
to Chicago and sold it to a commits
sion firm; it was then sold to whole
salers who sold it to millers in Min
neapolis; they made it into flour and
sold the flour to wholesalers who
sold it to grocers in Des Moines.
When the farmer bought his own
wheat back in the shape of flour,
he had paid commission to twelve
middlemen, profits to half a dozen
people who had bought and sold it,
and transportation to several rail.

Ancient Symbol.

The initials I. II. s., appearing on
grave stones, in churches, ETC., are the
initial letters of the Latin phrase
"Jesus Hominum Salvador" which
means "Jesus the Savior Of Man"
This was originally written in Greek
and was the first three letters Of the
name Jesus, but Its origin was lost
sight Of through substituting the "S''
for the Greek sign sigma. Then by
mistaking the Greek ii for the Latin
Fl a significance was found for each
letter.
