Grow Timber in Iowa.

1t is announced from the forestry
department at Ames that Iowa an
nually expcnds many millions of dol
lars increase in freight rates for
lumber due to the longer haulS from
numbering centers. According to Pro-
fessor Macdonald. the waste lands of
Iowa could be made to produce n val
liable timber crop in comparatively
few years. one experiment at the col
lege where an overflow area was
planted ten years ago to Caroline pop
lar. demonstrated that trees sixty feet
in height and nine to twelve inches in
diameter could he grown in that time.
Iowa now has in forest reserve 14.216
acres of natural forest and 46S of ar
tificial according to reports to the
state board of horticulture. The re-
ports show the oak to he by far the
most numerous among native trees.
In addition to forest trees Iowa has
considerable acreage in fruit trees, the
majority of which are varieties of
apple. During 1920 the average value
of the fruit crNp was $273 per acre.

Worry.

1t isn't the sounds, or rattle or pounds
OF the engines you may have run;
Nor the strenuous trip, that wcakens
your grip,
Nor the miles you've made" my son !:
Nor the winters biting cold;
Put worse than shocks. or even hard
knocks,
Is the worry that makes you old
You can take a brace, and cheerfully
face
Your trials, ut day or night:
You can drive along, with a merry song,
Whenever your heart is right;
If the heart is light, there is pure de-
light
In the hardest tasks You do;
Eut worry, You'll find, makes the hard
est grind
Ont Of simplest tasks, for you.
1t isn't the worry that's caused by the
hurry
And hardships of things you've done !;
tNor the open switch. or the yawning
ditch.
That You know may be waiting, son;
Nor the burden of years. but the haunt
ing fears,
Not troubles that fate may hold:
But these we borrow, ca,lSe most of the
sorrow
And worry that makes us old.

Here's Good Spring Tonic.

Those who have recOllections of an
annual spring dosing of sulfur and
molasses, will be interested in a bet
ter method of getting the minerals
which this mixture supplies to the
body as a tonic Vegetables will sup
ply the same minerals in much
pleasanter manner, according to Miss
Blanche Ingersoll of the home ecOnom-
les department of Iowa State college.
, Mineral salts, to serve as tonic
and to purify the blood can be gotten
through the use of vegetables and
these minerals in the vegetables are
in a better form to he assimilated into
the body than when secured otherwise.
Iron can be gotten through the use of
green vegetables, such as spinach or
lettuce, and in that form takes better
than that when it comes in the bitter
drug tonics. The phOsphates and
calcium or lime, which build bone.
can be obtained through the eating OF
carrots. asparagus and other common
vegetables. Many other elements are
provided in the early greens. Not only
will minerals be provided, but also
energy, good complexion and the
lack of "spring fever" if vegetables
are used in the daily diet.

Clean Furs Before Storing.

Cleaning of furs before storing
them in moth proof containers often
removes the larvae of the moth and
saves the fur. according to the house
Fold science department at Iowa State
college.
Merely packing furs in moth balls,
cedar crystals and other preventive
preparations does not keep the eggs
and larvae from Matching ont and the
moths from running the furs.
Proper cleaning of furs will remove
these eggs and if they are stored in
air tight boxes or closets with moth
balls the odOrs Of these repellants will
make the insects leave the furs alone.
Where moths have been found in
closets. it is advisable to spray cracks
and crcviccs to kill eggs and larvae.
Use benzinc or gasoline for this work.
Furs may be packed in suit boxes
which are sealed with strips of gum
red paper. or kept or placed in moth
proof sacks.
The cheapest way to care for furs
i. to store them in cold storage in a
nearby city where they are kept at a
too low for the moths to
live.

A record breaking long distance din
ner will be given June 1G, when
captains of industry and business men
who supplied the army during the war

men. and regulars. in commenoratiOn Of
the 14Gth anniversary of the establish

In his fOreword to the diners Major
General II. J.. Rogers. auartcrmaster
general of the army, says:
During the Jag years of It's existence
he quartermaster corps has expended
the stupendOuS sum OF Approximately
fourteen billion dollars, and never has
the corps been involved in scandal
Il any kind. The magnitude of the
work being done today by the quarter
master corps can best be realized by the
fact that approximately So per cent Of
the annual appropriations made by con-
gless for the maintenance of the army
is expended by the corps. During the
fiscal year 1920. for example, our out
lay was $47G,OOO00O"

Start New Poultry Farm.

A new poultry building, costing
$4,000, 10 semi-monitor poultry
houses and % colony brooder houses
will be built Immediately at Iowa
State college to accommodate ex-scrvice
men who are given college training
because of wounds of the war and are
being sent to Iowa to study poultry
raising. This plant, which will be
part of the college poultry farm, will
be the most complete poultry equip
ment at any college in America, ac-
cording to II. A. Bittenbender, head
of the poultry department.
The main building will be brick,
three stories in height, covering n
space of 40 to GO feet and will care
for incubatOrs, storage and labOra-
tories. The semi-mOnitOr poultry
houses will be % by 81 feet and each
will accommodate $50 laying hens. The
brOoding house will he 10 by IL feet
and accommodate 5000 young chicks.
The college is furnishing the buildings
and the poultry for the foundation
stock and the L. S. government is in
stalling the necessary equipment, such
as incubators, brooders and stoves.
Students who. take two years of
poultry work will follow course
which will require them to carry the
chickens through year. 1t will give
them an opportunity to handle all
phases of the work on their own re-
sponsibility.
Iowa is fortunate in securing this
equipment" says Mr.. Bittenbender,
''since it affords an excellent oppor-
tunity to gather data and do expert
mental work with individual flOckS,
such as the every day farmer has to
handle. With the large number of
pens of the different breeds. many
problems will present themselves,
which will help the industry"
Funds for this work are provided
by bill fatlsered by Senator w. s.
Kenyon of Iowa and is fitting that
Iowa should handle the poultry work"

Child Labor Law.

The legal standards adopted by the
various states to protect children from
the hazards Of too early employment
are shown by Il chart recently issued
10y the United States department OF

In all except four states, the mini
mum age for work, AT least in factories
and often in many other employmcnts.
is placed as high as II years, and seven
states have an age minimum of 10 or
lG years. Exemptions exist in most
Of these states. but they apply in many
cases to children employed outside
school hours or during vacations.
Twenty-nne states have recognized
The eight hour day standard for chill

working longer hours in certain occupa-
tions, OR by extending this prohibition
to all gainful employments. usually,
however. cxempting Homework and

nearly half limit the working hours
in the regulated occupations to 81 or
less week. The eleven hour day
still exists in two states. with Il weekly
maximum OF GO hours. FOrty-one states
have some prohibition of night work
applying to children under &c. and Of
these II prohibit such work without ex-
cmptiOns, except in some cases for agri-
cultural pursuits and domestic service.

FOuhl Long Lost Son.

An interesting human interest story
comes from Mount Ayr, county seat
of Ringgold county down on the Mis-
souri, border. Adam Osborn, who has
lived in Mount Ayr for % years was a
soldier, enlisted in Co. +, 43d Missouri
infantry, receiving his discharge in
1868 at the close Of the war. He re-
turned to Harrison county, Missouri.
where he was married in 1867. In 1868
a son was born to this union, the moth
err dying shortly after the birth. The
child. John Osborn, was given to an
uncle to rear. Adam Osborn then
went out to Montana where he re-
NAMED for fifteen years. During this
interval the uncle died and shortly aft
err his widow died and the child was
turned over to others to care for. All
these families removed to other parts
and when the father returned there
was no trace Of where these families
had moved to nor was there any one
who knew their WHEREABOUTS. LNcl
since that time Adam Osborn has kept
up steady hunt for his son, but with
out results as no trace could be found.
His JOY knew no bounds the other day
when he got letter from John Os-
born, who lives at DeKalb, Mo-, about
100 miles from Mount Ayr. In his let
ter to his father he said: "If you are
too old to travel will come to see you,
but l want you to see the whole fam
lily, as 1 have eight children, four of
them married. and there are five
grandchildren But Adam was not
too old and took the first train for De-
Kalb.

New Cure far Leaky Radiators.

Popular Mechanics: a strange fluid
compound. made by dissolving capsule
of powder IN teaSpOonfnl of liquid.
and applied with small squirt gun. is
the newest successful means for curing
leaks in an auto radiator. The radiator
is first filled with water and the leaks
marked with wood plugs, then it is
drained and dried, and thin coat of
the fluid applied to each leak. in 20
or 20 minutes it may he filled again as
n final test. AS many as Id tiny leaks
/ one radiator, caused by freezing,
have been rdkired in 20 minutes by
this method, using but one capsule of
powder.
