land by the construction Of a great
drainage canal that will straighten
the course of the Nishnabotna river
through Cass and Pottawattamie
counties for a distance of more than
twelve miles at an estimated cost of
a quarter million dollars, Is outlin-

county board of supervisors. The
report, with accompanying blue
prints of the proposed improvement,
showing the course of the ditch and
the area of the district to be bene-
fitted, has been filed by Boyd Walk
er, in Atlantic, the engineer en-
ployed to make the preliminary sur
vey. The filing of the report is the
second step in the procedure looking
to the establishment ~ the drainage
district. The first step was the
naming a commission to select
an engineer. This was done some
time ago at joint meeting of the
Cass and Pottawattamie boards.

Early Sunday Morning Fire

Fire OF unknown origin, which
started back Of the stock room in
the w. ]. Grennell garage, at Girls
void early Sunday morning destroy
ed completely the Grennell building,
valued at about $4,000, twenty-one
cars which we're stored there, and
badly damaged the buildings adjoin-
ing on either side.
The garage was a two-story brick,
50x120 feet, with full basement, and
was built only four years ago to re-
place one previously destroyed by
fire. The first floor was occupied
by the owner, with his garage, while
the second story housed the automo-
bile repair shop of Roy Grennell.
The latter lost $4,000 worth of re-
pair machinery.
There were forty cars stored in
the building, of which nineteen were
gotten out. Eleven of those burn
ed stood in the garage, while ten
were on the second floor for repairs.
Among the ten was the hearse Of G.
F. Wheeler, funeral director. An
other of the more valuable cars lost
was Cadillac belonging to Gold"
Hendricks. The loss on the cars
has not been determined as not all
of them were covered by insurance.
w. ]. Grennell carried insurance
amounting to about two-thirds the
value of his building, but is unable
to give the exact figures because the
safe containing his books and papers
fell through the floor into the base
nent and are not yet accessible
Roy Grennell carried $4,000 insur-
ance on his equipment.

Human Fly Climbs

Williams, the human fly" who

climber the Woolworth building in

Des Moines and other high and lofty
structures, climbed up the Masonic

high, one evening last week in the
presence of several thousand spec

with money when the hat was pass
ed in advance of the effort. Will
liams climbed the building but it
took him longer than he is reported
to have taken in climbing tho Wool
worth building, darkness falling be-
fore he was through, and he had to
have friendly hands outstretched to
help him up twice during the climb.
He talked a great deal to the crowd
during the early stage and seemed
to be moro Of spieler than a climb
er. The crowd, frequently suggest
ed that he get rope, a ladder. or
some other thing, and all in all it
was a pleasant occasion. II Will

GOOD FOOD HABITS

The kind of food child has de-
termines to a great extent the fit
ness of the future citizen and here
the parents have a great RESPONSE
bility which cannot be overlooked.
Good food habits should start to-
day, tomorrow may be too late.
Meals should be given at regular
hours. Do not allow children to
eat between meals. They will then
come to the table with the stomach
ready for a good meal and in condi-
ton to take care of the food taken.
Give plenty of water. Children
require at least four glasses OF water
between meals. Thirst is often
mistaken for hunger and habit of
eating between meals is then devel-
oped. Food should not be washed
down with water curing meals.
Dirt is dangerous. Children
should wash their hands and face
before coming to the table. They
should sit down to a clean table and
eat in an orderly manner.
Flies should be no closer than
outside the window screen.
Plenty Of time should be allowed
for meals. Do not hurry through
the meal. Take time for thorough
chewing of food so that the stomach
may not be overtaxed.
Children should not be forced to
eat when not hungry. Forced feed
ing is more harmful than light eat
ing for few days. If the appetite
does not return call a physician.
Children should be happy while
eating. Do not let the meal hour
be the hour of judgment Forget
the unpleasant things while at the
table. Remember, digestion has
no better aid than a glad heart.

FARMER HAD TOUGH LUCK

This is sure tough luck" was
Harry Vanderpool's, an alleged boot
logger, only comment when placed
under arrest late Saturday night
near McPaul. Although reputed to
be a dangerous man, and to have
made boasts that he would never be
taken alive, the man did not resist
arrest, and pointed out two stills
when taken into custody. He is 81
years old, is married and has two
children, aged and years.
Vanderpool told the officers that
he was making the booze to pay off
$4,000 mortgage on his nine acre
farm, and that he had been operat-
ing but three weeks. During that
time he had netted 5000, he said,
adding that his market was among
merchants and farmers Of the sur
rounding territory, who came to his
place for his products at Sc quart.
The stills were home made from
copper boilers, and Of somewhat
crude workmanship. The raid was
made by Federal Agent Sumner
Knox Of Council Bluffs. Two hun
bred and fifty gallons OF corn and
apple sour mash were seized with
Vanderpool
The pigs on his farm enjoyed a
souse from the sour mash, one pig
laying on his back in a trough and
snorting contentively.

queathed $500 and his sister, Mrs.
Harriet Grace German, who was
bequeathed IS in the will OF their
father, James A. Burch, who left an
estate Of the value OF approximately
100000, have brought suit In the

given; son, Moses A. Burch. $10,-
900; Marvin A. Burch, a son, $500;

ter, Stacey Jane Reed, had received
$4,000 during the testator's life
which sum was directed sheuld be
taken from her share OF the estate in

ment Of the debts II was directed

Remove Dog From Cemetery

The burial of a cog in Graceland
cemetery at Creston by Mr.. and Mrs.
j. W. McNeess has created quite a
stir and in response to the clamor
| and the orders of Mayor Ed c..
Keith the dog has been disinterred
and buried deeply in the back yard
Of the McNeese home.
The dog, which was a great pet Of
the family was run over and killed
by an auto. 1t was placed in
specially made cement vault, lined
with cotton and with much sorrow
was placed in the family lot in the
cemetery.
News OF the burial soon spread
and Mayor Keith was besieged, who
ordered the dog removed from the
cemetery and issued the following
statement:
THE health officer informed me
that the owners of the dog wanted
to bury it in their back yard-and
didn't want it buried in the pest
house lot. While that is against the
health ordinance it has been done
many times, and / gave permission
stipulating that the grave be made
four feet deep. Paid no more at
tention to it, presumed the pup was
peacefully sleeping in the back
yard. Friday l was told that the
carcass had been buried in Grace
land cemetery and ! Immediately
took steps to verify that statement
and found it true. / have given
orders that the carcass be removed
and also ordered the sexton to re-
move it if the owners failed to do
SO.
"Graceland cemetery, as / believe
is dedicated to the remains of hui
man beings, not for dogs or cats,
pigs or cattle or any other animals
and during our administration no
permit will be issued allowing
beasts to be buried among the re-
mains of loved ones. Nothing had
been said to me about burying the
dog in the cemetery and the Lord
help anybody who does ask for per-
mission to bury a dog in Graceland
cemetery or anybody who buries one
without asking"

let had lodged in his hip. As it
was merely flesh wound the bullet
was removed without difficulty. He
is being held for further investiga-
ton. The man who left the train
asserts he was the intended victim
OF the holdup. He told Of how three
masked men approached him on top
of the train, demanding his money;
how he pulled his gun and emptied
it, being wounded at the same time
by fusilade CT bullets from the
three. He is about rs years old
and talks freely of himself and his

tried to get the beast to loosen his
hold, whereupon he transferred his
attack to her, likewise by the wrist
and holding on tenaciously until Mr..
