they would count just as well, or far
better. as troops of Boy Scouts. Many
onlookers remarked Indignantly al

MORE SMALL COINS NEEDED.

New York and Philadelphia are complaining
Ct shortage in small coins that is becoming en-
barrassing to business The supply Of pennies
is not adequate to needs. The Mclean bill
authorizing the issue of a two-cent piece as a
Roosevelt memorial has been passed by the
senate; the coin proposed would be made of
copper alloy, would be somewhat larger than
a penny, but not of the old two-cent piece size.
There is real need Of such a coin. Senator
Frelinghuysen has introduced bill authorize
ing the coinage of seven and eight-cent pieces,
and this has the support of bankers in New
York and other financial centers; it has not yet
been reported out by the banking and currency
committee. With large coinage Of two-cent
pieces it would seem that actual needs could be
met. Other coins would be convenient but
tLeir desirablity ought to be determined on the
expense involved and the Wilderness with which
they probably would be csled for.

And Nature TO her children all doth say

Across the sky sail little fleecy clouds,
Kissed by the rosy lips of coming night.

When, from the whispering shade of yonder bush

Pour from his swelling throat. In ecstacy

SOLDIER-FARMERS.

Time was when if army wanted chickens,
lit took them where it found them; the same
was true Of garden truck In season. But if Sec
rotary Baker has his way, our new army will
raise it's chickens and chicken feed. He is con-
sidering several courses in poultering and in
gardening and already has in operation at Camp
Lee truck garden plant Mr.. Baker says that the
army has in the past tended to make its gradu-
ates averse to returning to the farm, but that
from this time forth soldier shall have every
opportunity to learn expert farm methods and
know by experience the joys and profits of
farming as livelihood. How nearly army
farm practice will come to the real thing is
question, but certainly in the comprehensive
scheme Of education adopted by the war depart
ment for our soldiers agriculture should have
place There is this to be said the army rou-
tine of today is far more popular with the lnen
than was the old.

GARDENS DEBT TO SOUTH AMERICA

| Does the amateur gardener tackling this
week the truck patch out OF which lingering
winter has kept him, give to South America the
credit that is due herr Does he whisper a
blessing upon the civilization of ancient Peru
for putting the potato within his grasp? Does
he drop tear for the early Aztecs who made 1T
possible for him to have green corn9 Maybe
n ct: the blisters which the spading fork brings
to his soft hands, the high price of fertilizer
the worry over the cutworm which passes IN the
I'M ght and passing saws down tomato plant
all these divert the gardening mind from be-
Istowing on the southern continent a grateful
thought.
To read a seed catalogue would never
Imagine that sweet corn originated south OF the
Rio Grande or any place other than the broad
acres of scotsman. But it was somewhere IN
Mexico or the northern part OF South America
that corn was first grown. The old boys had
'em all-flint, dent, pop and sweet The legend
runs that Montezuma used seven million bushels
every year in his palace. Columbus wrote home
that he saw eighteen miles of cornfields.
The faithful old potato sprang up In various
parts Of South America. Peru undoubtedly had
it before the christian era. The Spaniards
found it in Ecuador and took it to Spain, whence
it travelled to Italy and north to France and
Ireland from many a hard winter. Our own
Indians knew it not, maize being their long
suit in the food game.
When the tomato was first grown In Peru 1t
vas about the size of the fruit which is still
known as Glove apples Even the Inca never
saw anything that approached in hugeness the
glossy gargantuans which bloom in red ink on
the pages of seed books. Constant crossing by
ia thousand Burbanks of the various kinds Of
small tomatoes has resulted in the modern
giants. But when the gardener plucks the first
three FOUNDER from his groaning vine he should
remember the Peruvians who kept its ances-
tors alive and ambitious
The red pepper probably was used for food
in South America thousand years before the
doctors of Europe in the sixteenth century took
lit up in serious way remedy for various
ills. The winter squash is found wild in Uru-
quay, a fact which is used to confound the bot
fanists who believe that this Thanksgiving
standby originated in the far east Yankees
think of the Hubbard squash as delicacy etern-
ally allied with New England, but it's seeds have
been found in the ancient tombs near Lima,
tombs of Peruvians who died without ever hav-
irg heard of the Mayflower or Bunker Hill.
The lima bean suggests Peru, but it is not
certain that its orr gin was exclusively South
American. The Spaniards found it in Florida

JOsEpHUs BANS SALT PORK

With a view to making the navy more at

Under Secretary Josephus the navy has tended

Tuay have had effect to make the seanen over

that the portions Of the pig which are usually
smoked are richer in prOtelns than the brine
cured sides; and the acid flavoring renders
them more agreeable to the average taste It
seems probable also that too constant addic-
tion to ''salt horse,' as sailors unapprecative-

ROBINSON GIRLS ARE
DECIDED PROPERTY

Mrs. Julia A. Willard of Anita,
for the shooting of whose husband,
Carl d. Willard, her daughter, Mable
recently stood trial in the Cass county
district court, has decided to her two
daughters, Mable Robinson and
Mrs. Jennie Felt, two-thirds of her
entire estate, consisting of 240 acres
of farm land and two Anita business
properties.
A warranty deed signed by Mrs.
Willard and her husband transfers to
the daughters a 100 acre farm in
Lincoln township and two valuable
business properties on Main street
in Anita. The probable value of
the property transferred to the two
daughters is 100000.
BY proviso incorporated in the
deed Mrs. Willard retains the'use OF
the property during her life.
The settlement was affected in
Anita at a conference attended by
Mr.. and Mrs Willard and attorneys
representing them and their daugh-
tiers. Swan, Clovis & Swan were
the attrorneys representing the Mill
ards. The daughters were repre-
sented by James Parsons OF Des
Moines who assisted in the defense
of Mable Robinson in her recent
trial.
BY the action of the Millards the
daughters are given two-thirds OF
| the entire estate of the mother. She
was left the estate in fee simple at
| the death of her former husband,
| John Robinson.
The fact that the mother was left
| the entire estate by their father
and because of fear their stepfather
might be given the estate by their
mother at her death, is generally
supposed TO have been an element in
the controversy between the daugh-
tiers and their stepfather which cul-
minated in Mable shooting him.
The shooting took place on the
afternoon of November goth. Later
Miss Robinson was acquitted of the
charge Of assault with intent to
| commit murder.
It Is said that Willard as repeat
eddy told friends he had no intention
of seeking any of the estate to the
detriment Of the daughters inter-
eSts.

Hoover men made a determined ef-
fort to secure endorsement in the
resolutions committee. led by Earl
Bronson of Spencer, who came in
structed to urge Hoover before the
convention. However, it was repre-
sented, McAdoo was fayorite in
high democratic circles and the reso-
luton form applied to the convention
did not mention any candidate, al
though endorsing some of the acts re-
cognized as those of McAdoo.
Universal military training was
brought under the man of disapprov-
al of Iowa democrats by the resolu-
tion committee.
"We believe that the ratification
of the peace treaty and the league of
nations will bring about disarmament
and universal peace, and do away
with all pretext for large military
for universal military training"
says the portion of their resolutions
dealing with the subject. Atten-
ton is called in the resolution of the
