Chimney Full of Honey.

Pisgah, Ia.-Last spring when
Martin Hinkel and family moved
upon the farm four miles northeast
of here, known as the Mat Chaffe
farm, they started a fire in one of
the stoves and found it could not
be used. They discovered there was
something wrong with the fue.
Warm weather coming on, nothing
Fore was thought about it.
During one of the recent warm
days the family discovered some
thing else. They found something
yellow trickling down the wall at
the side of the chimney, and closer
investigation revealed that it was
plre honey. Further investigation
showed that the entire chimney is
packed as full as it will hold of
honey. They also found that an
ether chimney in the house is COM
pletely filled with honey.
Mr.. Hinkel estimates that there
We're several hundred pounds of
honey in the two chimneys.

Enforce DINNER law at Britt

There was great excitement in
Britt Sunday when Deputy Sheriff
Raw started enforcing the motor
vehicle law. There were many
caught in the dragnet and taken be-
fore Justice Castle. Sheriff Ross had
posted notices, had published an
advertisement in every paper in the
county and had given everyone a
chance to learn the contents of the
law and comply with it. AS usual
there was some weeping and
gnashing of teeth" but most of the
men when they saw they had clearly
violated the law were good natured
about the matter. Since the fatal
evening we have heard all kinds of
versions OF the law coming from
doctors, lawyers, merchants, farm
ers. and citizens in general but it
seems to be the consensus of opin-
ion that the law is all right and will
be satisfactory if only all are made
to comply with its provisions. No
one desires to see accidents and
every one is willing that any safe
guard that may save the destruct-
ion Of life and machines is a good
thing for auto owners in general

IOWA TO GROW
RECORD CROP
Yield This Year Has Been Exceeded
Only Twice in 1912 and 1919.
Oats Crop Below Average
FARMERS PLANT IN
FACE OF DISADVANTAGES
Despite Shortage of Help and High
Price of Seed State Will BE
Only Slightly Below Record
OF 21,OOC,OOO Bushels
in 1912.

II the Iowa corn crop this year
meets present expectations with a
total yield if 412, 100000 bushels, as
predicted in the August crop report
issued by Frank S. Pinney, in CO.
operation with the Iowa weather and
crop service and board of agricul-
ture, it will be one of the record
breaking crops.
There are only two other years
where the records show any greater
yield. In 1912 the Iowa corn crop
was 421 100000 bushels, the heav-
lest crop ever grown in the state.
Last year the total yield was 49,
100000 bushels, being the second
largest ever recorded. Two years
ago the corn crop totaled 352,SO0,-
coo bushels.
And this in spite of the scarcity
OF labor early in the season the high
price of seed, the unsettled condit-
ions because of high rental values
and the high price Of lands, and
more or less talk of unrented farms.
Charles D. Reed. director of the
Iowa weather and crop service, said
recently there was considerable acre
age in corn in Iowa this season
which had originally been intended
for oats. The seeding season was
such, however, in some localities
that oats could not be seeded so this
land was planted to corn.
The state will have a good oats
crop, however, as Mr. Pinney's re-
port shows. This state not only leads
all states in corn production the
present year, but also in oats pro-
duction, the Aug. 1st reports indi-
eating a yield of 37.S bushels per
acre on an average or a total of
208 100000 bushels compared with
196,1S2, 900 bushels last year. In
1918 the Iowa oats yield was 244,-
$4,000 bushels and in 1917 254,-
364, 200 bushels. Iowa led all of the
other states in oats yield those years
as well as this year.

WHERE MILK MONEY GOES.
Dairymen Assert That They Ere.
quently Deliver Milk at a Loss

The city housekeeper has been pro-
testing against the exceeding high
cost of milk.
The dairyman has asserted that
he has been frequently delivering
milk at a loss.
We saw some figures that may
suggest where some of thu trouble
is.
We notice that New York City
pays about $500, 100000 year for
fresh milk.
1t gives the dairymen, the fellows
who own the cows, and milk the
cows, and ship the milk to the city,
500 100000.
1t gives the distributing agencies,
the city fellows who take the far
mer's milk and put it on your back
porch before sun-up, the other $780,
100000.
The city chaps, who deliver the
milk, have $25,0O0.O0O invested in
their business.
The dairymen, who are responsible
for the production of the milk, have
S400, 100000 invested.
The city distributors get 400 per
cent return on their investment each
year.
The farmer takes all the risk,
does most of the work. and for his
labor and interest on his investment
besides, gets 25 per cent return.
Interesting figures indeed

When man split life into years
did he affect our term of existence

When we become sixty, is it a

mans earthly life dates from about
the time he began the sun-dial fad

Cedar Heights, a residential sub

most unique municipality in the
tate. w. F. PARROT, president of

The town was established about
ye years ago and has approxima-

IS in the fact that it has not a
ore or business institution of any

cstoffice. It's residents are deter.
lined that no business shall invade.
1t is almost a park in itself, ac-
ording to Mr.. PARROT, and its city
Councils chief business lies in
keeping it beautiful place in which

business in the history of Cedar
Heights was transacted several
months ago when the mayor and

Counts and BarOnS
 are Longshoremen

Milwaukee, Wis, May 13.-While the beach censors in other cities are barring one-piece bathing suits, Mll- waukee's beach girls will be free to wear them this season for the first time.
 David R. McKcith, who rules over the Lake Michigan beaches, decided that the one-piece bathing suit IS all right. The high cost of material gong into present day beach attire has nothing to do with his decision, he says. "We always have had a rule that women must wear two-piece cos tumes," he said, "but this year we will overlook that rule. Personally I would rather see a lady bathing in nice artistic one-piece suit than burdened with lot of useless clothes Too many garments don't make bath 1 ing comfortable, and besides, they give the women the appearance of a drowned hen-perhaps should say chicken--as she emerges from her dlp i While I am no authority on styles, understand that they will be unusual i ly gaudv this year, so that With oul i liberal interpretation of what is pro per Milwaukee maidens should have no complaint to make.
 "It all depends upon the point 'o1 view; it is a condition of mind. Oui duty is to train the minds of a cer- tain type of men to view a pretty form in a bathing suit as one looks at { painting or staute. It is not the low
 cut and it is not the high cut of tht bathing suit that we will have to regu late. The women give no trouble; Ii is the mind of the male bather tha' we must train"

One of the Andes ridges can be nego- tiated at height of 1000 feet, but there is another rising to 15,000 feet.
 "Peru," he continued, "is peculiarly suitable for aerial traffic. Aerial highways will undoubtedly play a large part in the future development of that country. It is of importance that rapid communication should be esta blished between the interior and the coast, and in order to do this the airplane must come to the rescue"
 Discussing the difficulty of travel ling by road, Mr. Dyott said that it took him five days to travel from ono part in the Andes to another, whereas | the airplane would cover the distance in fifteen minutes, and in another stage of the journey it took him ex, actly week to travel distance whicl would be negotiated by airplane in 3( minutes.
