A CESAREkN OPERATION
DIR. l.. c. Kuhn Performed Delicate
Operation at Decorah Hospital
Tku sday.

Last Thursd morning at eight
o'clock DR.. l.. c. Kuhn performed
a very important oneration---a Cesar
can operation--on Mrs. f. j. Drew,
of Decorah, and a fine baby boy,
weighing nine pounds and 10 ounces
was born. The operation is very
delicate one, and was completed,
after the preparations had been
made in four minutes and forty see-
onds. 1t is an operation that re-
quires the utmost skill on the part
of the surgeon, and DIR. Kuhn has
demonstrated that he possesses the
skill, and is most careful, sue
cessful and painstaking surgeon. He
was assisted in the operation by Drs.
Conrad, Davis, Emmons and DAILY.
The operation was success in ev-
cry way and mother and babe are
doing fine.
A similar operation waS performed

MAN WHO ATE -FOUR SHEEP
Talk About Your Famous Appetites
OF History, Hear About
This One.

There are famous appetites in his.
tory and more or less famous ap-
petites right here in our own COM
.munity. But have you yet heard OF
the American citizen who consumed
four sheep--or, to be exact, the
equivalent of four sheep for break
fast?
Come with US to Chicago. Arriving
on another train is stock farmer
from Nebraska who raises sheep by
ten thousands. No matter about his
name; the incident is on record IN
the Office of Mr.. Wallace, Secretary
of Agriculture in Washington.
The stock farmer has shipped 12,-
900 sheep before leaving home. When
his flock arrives in Chicago he sells
it and is paid Thirty-Two Cents PEI
Sheep after freights, commissions
and other charges are deducted.
The next morning he goes into
a fairly good Chicago restaurant
and orders mutton chops for break
fast. When he pays his bill he finds
that he has eaten the equivalent OF
the price he had the day before re-
ceived for four sheep.
AS we have said before the wood.

SHOOTING AFFAIR FRIDAY
Took Place on Washington Street
About One in the Morning.

Last Friday morning between
one and two o'clock, Mr.. and Mrs.
Gunder Tinderholt were on their way
home on Washington street, after at
tending a basket social at the Moose
,dge room. They were met on
4shington street about a block
south of the Ingvoldstad lumber
yard by fellow by the name of
Nels Nelson, who stopped in front
of them, and we understand threat
ened them. The Tinderholts has
feared this man for soma time past,
and Mr. Tinderholt was granted a
permit to carry a revolver for his
protection.
This man Nelson has been arrest
ed twice in the past for bothering
the Tinderholt family. When he
stopped them Friday morning, Mr..
Tinderholt shot Nelson in the hip,
and Nelson turned and ran from the
scene. We note that he has been
out on crutches since.
So far no arrests have been made
in the affair. The Tinderholt family
have been residents of Decorah since
year ago in March and purchased
the H. j. Hutchinson residence on
Washington street. Nelson is single
man and has worked for j. P. Burns
and also for contractor A. r. Cof-
feen.

Daddy of Family of Thirty-Two Out
Of Names

A. B. Burgess, q negro, employed
by the Atlantic Coast Line railway,
probably has the largest family in
Georgia. He is the father of thirty
teo children and has had three
wives. Twenty-six of the children
are living. The negro has been
blessed with seven sets of twins and
two sets of triplets.
When the last set of twins were
born Burgess and his wife had run
out of names for them and they
went nameless until they selected
their own names when they entered
public school.
Burgess SHE'D at selecting names
when 'he found that among his
progeny he had been doubling up
having two "Willies" and two "Sal-
lies" in his flock.

A NEW FARM RENTAL SYSTEM
Several Iowa Counties Have Fcrmu-
lated New Plan, Just to All
Parties.

In several Iowa counties land own
ers and tenants have gotten togeth-
or and formulated system of rem
tails that shall be just to all parties.
In Benton county three forms Of
leases are recommended, the crop
share, the stock share and cash.
Where the cash lease is used it is
recommended that some provision be
inserted that will divide the profits
or losses caused by violent fuctua-
tions in prices. Such provisions, it
was thought, would minimize the
cash rental risk, stabilize rental val
ues, prevent bankruptcy and place
renting on more sound financial
basis. A committee report says.
"For the purpose of equalizing the
rental in case Of violent price fluc-
tuation, the following readjustment
of fhe stipulated& rental shall sbe
made at the time of marketing the
crop or the stock to which It has
been fed, or at the end of the con-
tract year in case the tenant moves
from the farm. Calculating upon a
40 per cent or two-fifths basis as
the owners share where the tenant
assumes all of the risk we agree up
on the following plan. If the price
received for corn be SOC per bushel
and the average yield is 40 bushels
per acre, showing the gross product
i've yield of the farm to be $50 per
acre, two fifths, or So, in that case
would be the rental value of the
farm. If the price received for corn
be 60c per bushel and the average
yield is so bushels per acre, the
gross productive yield of the farm
would be $50 per acre, in which case
the owners share, or two -fifths,
would amount to $12 per acre."

Potatoes Grow Lustily in Some
Section of Iowa

Eariham, Iowa-"Never FAIL is

$50 bushels of potatoes on three
acres or $50 bushels to the acre and

pounds. One of the potatoes weigh
ed pounds and ounces and the
other pounds and 8 ounces.

invitation to Washington now.s 1t is
an honor most worthily. bestowed.

Agriculture, who was formerly con-

IF the prices of farm products fall
>asNl the prices OF other things remain
high, the farmer" says Mr.. Taylor
twill be compelled to reorganize his
business on a more nearly self-sup-
porting basis, produce more largely to
satisfy his own wants, and give less
attention to production for the mar
ket. This would result in a decline
in the commercial supply Of farm
products.
american farmers are steady-mind-
ed people, and they would not pre-
cipitate the nation into such a course
from base motives. However, if the
rest of the nation fails to appreciate
the necessity of farm prices having
a satisfactory ratio to other prices,
farmers may be forced to retrench."

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q-What is meant by references to
Wiscon.in's 'road maintenance pol
icy?"
A-Laws of 1917 and 1919 provided
for maintaining some $500 miles Of
state highway. This year, for in
stance, almost 1000 patrolmen were
used to keep up the system. Each
man is responsible for the upkeep Of
five to eight miles of highway. and
these state employees are available
to the public for aid or for infGr-
nation along their particular sections
of highway. Wisconsin instituted the
first road maintenance program Of the
kind in America.
Q--Is there any difference in the
value of formaldehyde and corrosive
sublimate as check for potato scab
and black scurf?
A-Trials made this year in Wis
consin indicate that corrosive subli-
mate, used at strength of one part
to 1000 of water, is a better treat
ment for the potato diseases men,
toned than is 1OfmdlueIlyue.
O-How were farm wages in Wis
consin in pioneer days-75 years ago,
for example?
"A reliable historical source
places farmland wages in the forties
at six to ten dollars month and
board. School teachers received two
dollars a week and boarded around,
and hired girls could be secured for
fifty cents to one dollar week. For
grading grain the usual price was o.
cents an acre, with three acres fan

associations, the Golden Rule is not
such a bad thing tn follow. As the
animals are paid for by weight, it has
been the custom to feed them to the
limit Just before taking them to the
stock buyer. Then when they reached
the terminal market they could not
take on another fill and were usually
sict before going to the scales. The
man who fills his cattle or hogs so
full before he reaches the terminal
market cuts his own throat, for he is
the only loser. Just feed the animals
IN a normal way and they will come
out better than when overfed.
