WORRIES AND CARES
CEASE ON isle OF
TRISTAN DA CUNHA
Thy Associated Press)

tBy Associated Press)
BUENOS AIRES. Jan. THE Island
of Tristan da Cunha is described as
can unspoiled haven of rest for the
weary soul, Mecca for those who
long for relief from worries of life,"
by the chaplain of the British cruiser
Dartmouth which has just returned
from a visit to that isolated spot.
mo need to worry over money there
for there is none, said the chaplain.
..There are no taxes, no doctors, no
lawyers, no clergymen, no policemen,
not even head man. Newspapers
and mail arrive with luck about once
every two years
There is not even any medicine,
for the last supply of remedies was
thrown into the sea by the inhabitants,
who are remarkably healthy. Epidem-
les are unknown.
British Possession.
Tristan is British possession in
the South Atlantic between South
Africa and South America. Its snow
capped peak towers nearly 5000 feet
above sea level. 1t is only Il miles
in circumference. The nearest IN
halited place is ST Helena, 1900 miles
away. The island itself is volcanic
origin, the only habitable portion OF
it being a tongue of fertile land at
the foot Of the precipitous cliffs.
Sufficient potatoes are grown in
plots to meet the needs of the in
habitants. Cattle and sheep were in
troduccd years ago and many cattle
now run wild. Clothes are only to
be obtained by bartering from ships
that call. For protection to the feet
the people make moccasins of bullock
hide. Wonderful socks are made by
the women from wool carded by them
selves.
Without Bread.
From June to October of this year
the people had been without bread.
tea, coffee and sugar, but they all
looked pretty we'll nourished.
The reason there is no bread is that
so or 60 years ago a shipwreck near
the island allowed rats to get ashore
so that since that time no wheat has
been raised. But the men say that
they are going to try again when the
next mail in a year or two brings
them some seed wheat. In the mean
time. they are in no hurry; IL there
isn't any bread they can be contented
on potatoes. And to supplement their
notatoes. fish are abundant, and cattle,
end birds with their eggs, and seals.
Thew want for many things. says the
chaplain, nevertheless there appears
TO be little discomfort and few ever
wish to leave the island

The Watermelons Were Expensive

Creston-The famous Hood Fran
els controversy over a raid on the
Francis watermelon patch has re-
suited so far in a verdict for $1,000
damages for Carl Hood against Ben
jamin Francis.
Hood sued for $4,000.
Francis shot Hood in the leg with
twenty buck shot.
Hood had gone to the Francis
place with party of ladies and gen.
tlemen and the group was making its
way to the Francis melons ,,hen Ben
Jmain Francis, who was watching the
place which belonged to his father, C.
j. Francis, ordered thsm to stop and
shot.
The jury held that if Hood was in
tent on stealing melons that was a
misdemeanor and not a crime, and
the owner had not the right to shoot
him. 1t held that the son alone was
responsible and not the father for the
damages. But it gave Hood $1,000

SHIPS FOUR MILLION BEES
West Union Man Now Has 120
Hives of Bees, Gets Car Load
From Montana.

A carload of bees and bee sup
plies in one shipment came into West
Union one day last week, over the
Milwaukee railroad This, says j. H.
Cline, the Milwaukee agent, is the
first time in his more than thirty
years of railroad service that he ever
billed in or out, or even knew of be-
ing shipped, so large quantity of
bees or bee material at one time.
There were seventy hives of bees,
that part of the car which they did
not fill being occupied by bee keep
ers' equipment. The shipper was
Harry j. Grimes, who went to his
former home at Miles City, Mont,
and prepared the car for shipment to
his new home here. The freight on
the carload was $400.
Orders have lately gone out to
load live stock cars more heavily,
so as to get more service out of each
car, but it was hardly supposed that
they would take to crowding over
four million animals in one carload,
though at 10000 bees to the hive
that is what the shipment would fig
ure. =
Mr.. Grimes is without doubt the
most extensive apiarist in this local
ity, he having 120 hives of bees at
! work making honey for him. When
he moved here last winter from Mon
tana he brought fifty hives with him
in his emigrant car, then recently re-
turned to Miles City to get the re-
mainder. Mr.. Grimes bought from
L. c. Beamer over year ago the
four-acre place at the east edge of
town, which he has turned into a
bee farm.
Owing to the springlike, weather,
the bees brought in last weeks ship
ment were thoroughly awake and
ready for business, and it is perhaps
needless to state that no other live
stock was shipped in the same car.

MUCH REsEEDING DONE
Freeze Caused Oats to Rot in
Ground.

Das Moines, Iowa-More reseeding
of oats in Iowa, due to freezing
temperatures, has been reported in
the week ended last night than al
any time in the last thirty-one years
the weekly bulletin of 1.-The Iowa
weather and crop service, issued to-
day, says.
The prompt reseeding probably
will maintain the acreage at slightly
more than that of last year, it was
said. In some sections the seedlings
have been done. Gales of April %
and "a in the northwest part of the
state drifted the dry soil and un-
covered some of the seed there. That
part of the state is reported need
ing rain. From some of the south
ern and eastern counties, however
came reports that the soil was toe
moist for working.
Dry weather, high winds and q
severe freeze have damaged serious
ly spring seeded clover in many ives
tern counties. Clover leaf weevil is
complained of in Henry and Mills
counties.
A little more corn planting was
done in the central and southern
portions last week. Spring and
winter wheat, barley and rye were
reported making good progress.
Strawberries promise fair crop
in some sections, altho damaged con.
siderable in southern part of state.

SCHOOL ATHLETICS
Much Time and Attention Given t.
Athletic Teams

Some people object to the amount
of time and attention that school
boys give to their athletic teams.
Some promising athletes seem to
give ten thoughts to baseball and
football to every one they give to
their studies. And sometimes they
are the subjects of too much adula-
ton. 1t may do harm to have sue
cess come with so little effort.
On the other hand, the athletics
work off a lot of surplus vitality
that might make trouble in other
ways. When the boys are pitching
and batting baseballs, they aren't
getting tangled up with silly girls.
Also they aren't hanging around the
curbstones splitting in the gutter.
They are developing their physical
condition, learning how to play fair,
to do team work, and cooperate with
others.
The worst fault of the athletic sy-
stem is that it tends to concentrate
attention on the few members of a
team, while the great majority Of
the students are left tout. Us
ually they can't do much but sit
on the bleachers and yell for the
team. They need physical training
more than anyone else, yet they get
the least of it.
An effort should be made to see
that every able bodied boy who
wants to play games, has chance
on some kind of a team. So if
the system is to be conducted at all,
the boys should be divided into
teams and entered in competition
with each other. In that way many
fellows of poor physical development
who have not the special alertness
required to play on a school'sS best
team, could yet meet others of their
own class, and get great deal of
benefit. Also the girls whose par
ents desire them to have athletic
training, should have the same
chance. 1t is to be hoped that ev-
cry student in the schools of De-
corah will get some benefit from
sports, and that none of those who
want to participate will be forced
merely to watch others.

Invented a COwIess Milk

DR.. Earl B. Carr, of Boston, where
the baked beans bloom, has discover
ed or invented, cowless milk. 1t can
be made by anybody, at home. for a
few cents a quart. The ingredients
are ordinary oats, ordinary peanuts,
pure water and dash of salt" 1t is
said that Boston babies thrive on this
cowless product. 1t now remains for
American ingenuity to invent an ac-
ceptable substitute for beefsteak and
bossy's doom would seem to be seal
ed, The shoe manufacturer long ago
found out that cowhide leather was
not an indispensable raw material
in their business. 1t is barely posi-
BILE, however, that babies outside of
Boston will continue to cry for cows
milk or a substitute that DIR. Carr
is unable to MISUNDERSTANDING.

Starting the Statesmen Out

President Harding is said to favor
the idea of an interchangeable rail-
way mileage book, as a means of
encouraging business firms to send
out their travelling statesmen more
freely. He thinks that anything
that encourages business firms to
keep more statesmen on the road,
will help sell goods and thus pro-
mote prosperity.
The travelling salesman often
finds that trade is held back by the
unreasoning fears of dealers who are
distant from the business centers,
and have exaggerated ideas of ex-
listing conditions.
In such cases he dose not try to
delude them by false optimism into
rash purchases, as he would there
by get them into difficulty and queer
himself. He tries to give them a
fair picture of existing conditions,
and show that basic conditions are
| sound, which means that revival is
merely question of time.
Almost always he finds a lot of
dealers who have provided them
selves with less stock than the
trade is going to need under any
conditions, and when he persuades
them to buy what they have, he has
done a lot to start up business. By
all means get the statesmen out and
cover every mile of territory, as
they are the lubricators of the COM
merical machine.
