HAVE UNIQUE RECORD
Iowa Pioneers Live rs Years in
Same Spot.
Couple Married Three-Quarrers of "A
Century Bought Their Farm for
$3.50 in 1916.

Mount Zion, Ia.-Seventy-five years
ago Daniel Reneker brought Mary, his
bride of a few days, to Iowa from
Ohio. Today they still are living on
the original homestead they estab-
lished in the wild West" in 1915.
Reneker will be ninety years of age
February "A, and his wife is ninety
seven. Their marriage record and the
number of years spent on the same
homestead probably can be equaled by
few couples.
The couple attribute their long years
of life to the fact that they are Cod
fearing and believe in simple life and
simple joys.
Mr.. and Mrs. Reneker's married life
of 70 years, in the eyes of m~odern-day
folks, contains few thrills. 1t has
been mostly hard work.
Reneker, when a young man, left his
home in Ohio to go West to see the
country. He returned in a short time
to get his Mary. Their honeymoon was
spent floating down the Ohio river to
the Mississippi on a small boat. On
landing III the Mississippi the couple
headed north for the cabin Reneker
had previously erected in the forest
wilderness Of Iowa, lea the present
site of Mount Zion. There they went
and there they are today.
The early years were spent in clear
ing the 100 acres of timber Reneker
had purchased at 81 an acre. Supplies
were brought from a trading post As
miles away. Ground on their tract was
broken with the aid of oxen.
Five children were born to the Rene
kers. Four of them still survive. All
are boys. The eldest is Jacob, aged
seventy-two, and the youngest is DR..
George w. Reneker, aged fifty-two.
The other two boys are Joshua and
Dallas Reneker. With the exception
of Dr.. George, all the sons remained
ear the old homestead. DR.. George
Reneker left home at the age of
twelve. Today he is a resident of
Falls City, Neb, and is the state rep
resentative from the First Nebraska
district.
The present home Of the Renekers
was built in 1861 near the site of the
original fog cabin.
The couple have taken few trips
away from their home. They have
made several trips to Falls City, Neb.,
to visit their boy" DR.. George,
and once went back to visit childhood
scenes in Ohio.

YAl.NEES like
WESTERN Tales
coughbOys on The Rhine Show
Preference for Stories of
Adventure in the West.
JULIUS CAESAR A FAVORITE
Activity Of Caesar in Rhine Valley
Flakes TRANSACTIONS of His Gallo
Wars of Interest to Soldiers.
Legends A.oo Popular.

Coblenz.-Tales of adventure in the
American West are the favorite read
ing matter Of the American forces in
Germany, and Zane Grey is the most
popular author.
Strangely enough, julius Caesar
runs a close second with the dough-
boys, who are very keen about trans
lations of Caesars activities in the
Rhine valley and the ruins of a bridge
he built across the Rhine, which lifts
| Caesars work out of the schoolbook
class and makes it a guidebook that
! carries the Americans back nearly
1000 years.
Books which describe the legends
centering about the Rhine are also
popular, especially with the soldiers
who are unsteady inclined and who
attend the Wagnerian performances
given by the various German grand
opera companies which play in Co
logne, Coblenz, Wiesbaden and the
other cities near the Rhine frequented
by soldiers on leave.
Like Story Magazines.
All-story magazines which special
ize in adventures are more popular
with the American soldiers thar any
other periodicals, and the American
Library association has been unable
to supply the demand for publications
of this sort.
With the assistance of the Young
Mems Christian association, which
aids in the distribution of reading ma
terial in the American area, Miss Ala
Weyth, who is in charge of the Amer
lean Library associations reading
rooms, has been able to make a gen
eral poll Of the reading taste of the
army and finds that foreign residence
has not won the young Americans
ticularly in the West.
The American Library association
has about 10000 books available for
Americans, French, Belgians and Eng
lish residents of the occupied area, and
also has circulated many books by
mail to Americans living in other parts
of Germany. Three hundred copies
each of SO American weekly and
monthly publications, in addition to a
large number of newspapers, have
been taken by the organization and
circulated through the branch Ii
braries at A%ndernach and Mayen, as
well as through the American base
hospital and the main library in
Coblenz.
Turned Over to Y. M. C. a.
With the beginning of 1921, the
American Library association turned
its books over to the Y. NJ. G. A. and
is no longer supporting the work.
The main library in Coblenz was
formerly a German officers club and
is ideally suited to library purposes.
1t has a great ballroom, which makes
excellent reading room, and also
has sun parlors and large drawing
rooms, with many windows. Many
Germans have asked for the privilege
of using the library, but this has been
as the army did not think it
advisable. One German told the H.
he had lived many years in
America and should really be allowed
to have books, because he was an
American 'in principle"

TokyO.-German residents in this

pared with pre-war days the number
has already been practically doubled,
1t is said.
Most of the newcomers are employed
by Japanese firms as engineers or
technicians. According to the same au-
thority, toys, chemicals and d~yestuffs
worth more than 100000 yen have
been imported from Germany since the
peace.

MAPLE SUGAR
Time is HERE
Only United States and Canada
Produce This Much Priced
Product on Large Scale.
EARLY TAPPING is FAVORED
First Runs Are Usually the Sweetest
and Therefore the Best Producers
Ten to Fifteen Trees Enough
for Family.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. the days
when you went to the maple sugar
parties? Well. maple sugar time Is
here. The sugar and strip industry
IL American and offers good CONNER
cial opportunities. Only the United
States and Canada produce this much
priced product on a commercial scale,
which Is at once a delicacy and q
highly nutritious article of diet.
Warm days and cold nights are es-
sential to a satisfactory flow, and the
sugar content may vary considerably
from day to day. Tapping of sugar
trees If done properly in no way In
jures the tree. Trees have been
tapped for more than 100 years and
are still in good condition.
The maple is well up among the
leaders in the American Forestry assO-
cations vote for a national tree.
Early Tapping Is Favored.
Tap early in the season, says a gen.
eral bulletin, to obtain the earlier
runs, which are generally the sweet
est, and therefore the best producers.
Makers have lost half and even more
Of their crops by not being prepared
for the first run.
In general, the association points
out, the season is ready to open dur
ing the first or middle of February
In the southern section and later In
the northern regions when days are
becoming warm-when the tempera-
ture goes above freezing during the
day and at night below freezing. II
the days are very bright, warm, and
sunny the sap will start with a rush,
but soon slacken, or If a high wind
starts the flow is checked.
A thirteen thirty-seconds of an inch

rection should be slightly upward in
to the tree, the START allowing the
hole to drain readily, With an or
binary tree the hole should not be
over a and a half to two inches
deep at the best.
Apparatus for strip and sugar
making does not necessarily repre-
sent a large outlay. A number of sap
.pouts, either wooden or metal, are
needed. The strip is usually gather
ed in buckets
From ten to fifteen trees usually
will yield enough strip for family
use to make tapping worth while, and
In many cases will afford a surplus
which can be soH at a remunerative
price. The flow of sap depends upon
the age, condition and habit of
growth of the trees, also upon. the
character Of the weather and con-
of the soil during the sap-fow-
season.
Figures as to Yields.
In a good season a tree fifteen
in diameter will yield suffi-
sap to make from one to six

oted into two to ten pounds

New York.-Two thousand geese,
