1t has been figured out by some-

Scientists tell us we must eat GER
tain kinds of food in order to supply
the system with the proper vitamines.
However, with most of US it is not
a matter of what kind of food we
ought to have but what we can get.
We had placed the mistress of the
White House in a class all by her
self. but since reading that it takes
her sixty-fve minutes to dress we
have come to the conclusion that she
is about like all of the balance of 'em.
Although living in prohibition
land, the people of this country are
heavy drinkers, having consumed last
year 1,417, ,O62,913 pounds of coffee,
which was about IA pounds per cap

one-half of the worlds production of
coffee. a.
So
This country is spoken of as the
great credit nation," the richest ma
zion on earth. Well, it matters not
what this country is worth. Governor
Harding, indirectly, if not directly,
has caused the American people to
owe about all the country is worth.
Seriously, wouldn't you like to know
by what sum the debts of the indi-

increased the past year? And we are
not through with debt-making yet.

A Barn Burning Moron

A dangerous moron is prowling
around the country in the vicinity Of
Wall Lake. Tuesday afternoon he
called at the farm home of Sames
Duffy, located about three miles west
of town. No one was home except
Jesse, 10 year old son. The stran-
ger asked the boy to set fire to the
big barn but the boy refused. The
stranger then cut two small gashes
in the boys right arm, remarking
that he would mark him If he did
not do what he was told to. Jesse
was again commanded or requested
to set the barn on fire and he re-
fused. Two more gashes were cut
in the arm, and then the fellow ran
away. The boy quickly ran to the
cornfelds to notify his brothers.
As soon as possible the neighbors
were informed of mans act and
a search was made but no news Con
corning the whereabouts of the man
has yet reached Wall Lake.

Lads Tackle Big Job

For grit, pluck and ambition one
will have to "hand it to" the two Ma
son City school boys who have just
closed contract for a 10-acre job of
grubbing in the big woods southeast
of Fertile. Ross Lang, 17-year-old
son of Z. NJ. Lang of the Mason City
Oil and Grease Co., and Forrest De-
Sart, son of DR.. Roy F. DeSart, also
of Mason City, wanted work during
vacation, but found jobs hard to get
in the city. They came to Fertile a
few days ago and after looking about
for time closed a deal for a job
of igrubbing that has bluffed out
many mature and brawny men be-
cause of the immense size of the
close set stumps and underbrush.
The boys have pitched a tent right
on the job and are doing their own
cooking.-Ex.

Census Bureau Says Males Exceed
Females by 100000

Washington, D. C.-The census
statistician announces that on 1920
figures there are 2,090,132 more
males than females in the country,
which seems to remove the tradi-
tional excuse for spinsteThood. New
England alone of the large sections
has 2l2 per cent more women, which
perhaps accounts for the New Eng
land spinster. Washington, D. c.,
has a predominance of 10 females
to each 100 population.
The Mountain and Pacific Coast
divisions have 1857 and 1889 per
centages respectively in favor of the
males.
The census statistics show that
ever since the foundation of the re-
public males have prsdominated. The
variation has been slight in 100
years, with 1888 per centage in
1910 and 104.6 in 1870.

people. All of Mrs. Drew's children,
many of the grandchildren and six
teen great grand children were pres

New Auto Spring Invention

C. ID. Welsch, a farmer of Coles
burg, faces fame and fortune as
result of an invention which is at
tracing nationwide attention. His
"brain child" is non-breakable auto
spring contrived in such a manner
that a perfect balance is maintained
and through double spring arrange
ment all jolting is absorbed and cars
are enabled to travel the toughest
roads with perfect ease on the part
Of the occupants. Mr.. Welsch has
conducted numerous demonstrations
and his invention appears practical
and efficient as well as mechanically
perfect. Firms of Dubuque and Ce-
dar Rapids, as well as number of
eastern concerns are eager to buy
Mr.. Welsch's invention which he re-
Gently patented. The Colesburg farm
err has declined an offer of $4,000
and royalty from one concern.

How Many Hogs in Iowa

No one knows how many hogs
there are in Iowa. For January /,
1920, there are three sets of figures,
each of which is supposed to be
authoritative. They disagree Woe
fully. .,,>
The Department of Agriculture has
estimated 10,3S9,000 hogs, whereas,
the township assessors Of Iowa found
as a result of actual enumeration
only 6,56S,000. The census people
also, as a result of actual enumera-
ton, found 100000 hogs. Live
stock reports made through the Farm
Bureau indicate that for this same
date there were probably $4,000, 900
hogs in Iowa.
The only conclusion that can be
reached is that hog figures as at
present collected are VIGOROUSLY I'M
reliable and about all we can say
as a result of our present methods
Of investigation is that we have
either more hogs, than we had a
year ago or less hogs than a year
ago. In point Of actual numbers, the
estimates may be wide of the mark
by two or three million hogs, for
the state of Iowa alone, or eight
or ten million for the country as a
whole.
Inasmuch as we in the corn belt
market more of our surplus corn in
the way of hogs than in any other
way, it behooves US to know very
definitely just how many hogs we
have, in order that we may know
when it is advisable to expand or
contract our hog feeding operations.
At present the only guide we have is
price. When hogs sell high in rela-
ton to corn, we expand the hog bust
ness, and vice versa. AS a matter of
fact, "price" is often false guide
inducing hog men to go into the
business just at the time they should
stay out, and telling them to stay
out just at the time they should
go in. We need more accurate hog
statistics not only in Iowa but also
in the other corn belt states. We
need more actual enumeration in
each state once in every year and
estimates based on these enumera-
tons in April, as to the number OF
brood sows which have narrowed OF
are about to farrow, and in Septen-
Der as to the number of stock pigs
to be marketed during the ensuing
six months.--Wallaces' Farmer.

temporarily" sought credit at his
grocer's. The grocer, unable to Dor

extend credit, bat the fellow urged
that he was out of work and couldn't
pay, and simply had to live some
way until he got work. Thereupon,
the grocer asked him If he had
something he could put up as So

tioa the workman offered him S115

MISS FULL is BOULDER
COUNTY CLUB LEADER

Montrose Enterprise
Shortly after Christmas, Miss En-
ma Full who is the retiring superin-
tendent Of schools for Montrose coun-
ty, was notified that she had been ap,
pointed leader for the Boys and Girls
clubs Of Boulder county, her appoint
ment to take effect Febulary 1st. The
work of the boys and girls clubs is
under the supervision of the govern
ment, state and county, and the se-
curing Of Miss Full for Boulder county
means that the boys and girls there
have leader who will push them
right along and make their accom-
plishments the best possible.
Miss Full has been one of the finest
superintendent of schools that the
county has ever had, and refused To
run again for the office in the recent
fall election, giving as her reason the
smallness Of the salary attached. 1t
is understood that the work upon
which Miss Full is soon to enter will
pay at least something like what she
is worth, which is more than can be
said Of the Office from which she is
retiring.
