tied in the soft earth. After the visit
was over the boys started the motor
to drive out when they found that

Loses New Buick Car.

The first real automobile stealing
CT the season was at Fayette county
last week when county supervisor
Miehe's new Buick was stolen from
the garage on his farm. The car had
been used on Sunday and was safe
in the garage at twelve o'clock that
night but was gone the next morn
ing.
1t was traced a distance from the
house, but there all tracks were OBJ
liberated by other traffic.
The thief evidently wanted to de-
lay the pursuit as long as possible
as he left note in the garage read
ing, mot stolen, twill come back"
but Mr.. Niche did not take his word
for it and commenced hunt, but at
last reports was unsuccessful. The
fellow who took it was very deliber-
ate as he tarried long enough to fill!
it with Mr.. Miehe's gasoline.

stolen, but it is heaping Goals on one

THE GASOLINE SHORTAGE.
Owners of Automobiles Will Have to
Show Moderation.

The government is issuing warn.
ings as to the probability of an acute
shortage of gasoline before the sum
ner is out. Production of petroleum
has increased 20 per cent over 1919
but use Of gasoline has gained faster
Millions of people who formerly
wore out shoe leather and paid st
car fares, are now cheerfully burn
ing up gasoline in flivvers and other
joy vehicles. Also with farm labor
flocking to cities, farmers are COM
PEELED to resort to gasoline driven
machinery.
The country must be fed and food
must be transported. There must
be sufficient gasoline available to
operate the country's business, even
if pleasure cars have to observe some
gasless Sundays.
There will be gasoline enough for
everybody, if owners of automobiles
show moderation A large part of
them are not satisfied unless they
get out on Sunday, and scorch over
150 to 200 miles of road. They
would be precisely as happy to take
short runs of so to 70 miles. What
they want is fresh air, the exhila-
rating sense of motion, and country
scenes. They can get that within 10
miles of DEBORAH, just as we'll as if
they took a 200 mile run.
If the motorists persist in using
lip the gasoline stock at the present
headlong rate. it will cost 40 or so
cents gallon before summer is over.
In the present state OF the country
when money is so badly needed to
finance business, it seems folly to
burn up this stock so fast. Many
people who complain the most at the
disturbed state of the nation, will
themselves get out on Sundays, and
help make things worse for every
enc, by this reckless consumption of
a basic essential of business.

Iowa An Ice House $4,000 Years
Ago.


Lansing and Iowa townships in the
extreme northeastern corner of ALA
makee county and of the state of
Iowa are the only points in the state
which were not covered with ice at
some time during the glacial epoch
which closed about $4,000 years ago.
1t has always been supposed that a
considerable area along the Missis-
sippi river in Jackson, Dubuque, Del
aware, Fayette, Winnebago, and AL
lamakee counties had escaped glacia-
ton. but Prof. A. c. Trowbridge of
the department of geology of the
University of Iowa has found glacial
deposits over the whole area except
in the townships above menrici,ed !.
Further, he has reduced from 10, 900
square miles to about 5000 the area
in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois and
Iowa supposed to be non-glacia'ee.
Most of this trea now lies in Wis
consin.
At no time during the glecia,
epoch was this region entirely sur
rounded by ice, says Prof. Trow-
bridge, but each of several glaciers,
as it approached from different dir
ection, failed to. cover the land on
which no glacial drift is found.
Prof. Trowbridge declared that an
earlier conception of Iowa as an ex-
tremely rough country before the
glacial epoch is not correct; that
rough, rocky country was not
smoothed by the grinding passage of
ice over the surface of the rocks.
When the first ice came the Missis-
sippi river basin was practically fiat,
and the river itself was not present.
Later the upper portion of the valley
was uplifted about 600 feet, streams
cut in, and drainage was developed.
The beginning of the glacial epoch
was probably a million years ago, he
says.
