Real Trade Secrets.

Detroit News: There are at least two
trade secrets which have been SO jeal-
Ously guarded that they have remained
close secrets for hundreds OF, years, and
may never be known to the, world at
large. One is the, Chinese method of
making the bright and brilliant color
known as vermillion, or, Chinese red,
and the other is Turkish secret-the
inlaying of the hardest steel with gold
or silver. Among the Chinese and
Turks these two secrets afe guarded
we'll. Apprentices, before they are tax
en- for either trade, are compelled to
swear an irOnclad oath to reveal moth
ing of what passes in the workshop.
They must also belong to families of
high standing, must pay a large SUM
Of money as a guarantee, and must fur
nish certificates of good character and
honesty. These secrets have been hand
cd down faithfully from one generation
to another for hundreds Of years.

CO,nn,otiOn in State House.

In recent weeks there has been con-
siderable cOmmOtiOn in the state house
over an order issued by the executive
council demanding that the depart
ment of agriculture be moved into the
basement of the building, in rooms now
occupied by the executive council and
that the Office of the state supcrintcnd-
cnt of public instruction occupy the
rooms vacated by the state board OF
agriculture so that the executive council
may have the rooms used ever since the
building was constructed by the educa-
tional department. The order came
after the passage Of an apparently
harmless bill by the last general Assem-.
by taking from the agricultural depart
ment the rights and titles in its pres
cnt quarters granted it by an act Of the
legislature more than % years ago. All
CT the influence, political and otherwise,
that the agricultural and educatiOna
departments can command is being used
to get the executive council to rescind
the order. The executive council is
composed Of the governor, secretary Of
state, auditor Of state, treasurer OF
state, and, under a recent enactment,
the attorney general.

Railway conditions in Iowa an(
other sections Of the land are such 9!
to warrant some reductions in freish
rates, it was admitted by members o
the Iowa state railway commission a
ia conference in Des Moines on MOnda!
with representatives present from vari
Gus Iowa cities.
Proposed changes in the Iowa classi
ficatiOn were given consideration
About fifty commodities are affected
Substitutes of the present consolidated
classification for the Iowa classified
ton was the most important proposal
presented to the Iowa state commits
sion for settling.
The question of class changes OF
cancellations was postponed until the
next meeting of the Iowa commission
at which time all shippers and others
interested will be requested to be pres.
ent for the purpose of explaining
their views of this intricate rail prob
lem.
1t was suggested by the commission
that the changes asked for be carried
as super schedule. The present No. 10
rule Of the western rail classification
permits of mixed car loading. This pro-
posal was adopted, having been gener-
ally approved.
The commission announced its inten-
ton of making a uniform application
Of Iowa rates in order that they might
correspond with the interstate sched-
ules. A very general discussion
throughout Iowa by the shipping and
freight receiving interests is expected
before final decision is made by the
state board.

Fight ON tuberculosis.

No disease is more ipsidiOus than
tuberculosis. It strikes silently, ant
often has been long at work before i
is discovered. ,.
Tuberculosis is durable and prevent
able. Most often the infection Of chill
dren comes from tubcrcul0us parents.
This accounts for the saying that con
sumption runs III families.
Tuberculosis is never inherited
Special reasons for medical cxamina
ton are:
If you have had grippe, influenza OF
pneumonia. ,sa...
If you have been exposed to tubercu
lOsis. H.
If you have ever had tuberculosis.
If you tire easily.
If you catch cold easily.
If you cough, or clear your throat
often. ..... ....-
1t your appetite is poor or "finicky.'
Ii you are losing weight. !
If you are nervous or irritable.
If you have afternoon fevers.
Ii you spit blood.
The person who has Tuberculosis in
lection" may feel and appear tOsb per
fectly well. Tuberculosis infection
however, may readily develop into
tuberculosis disease or consumption.
After infection is acquired and per.
haps years after any condition which
reduces the general health or strength
may bring about acute and active dis.
sease. Influenza and measles are notOri-
Gus fOrerunncrs of the disease.
Repeated and neglected colds not only
pave the way for tuberculosis but often
what seems to be repeated colds are
evidence of tuberculosis itself.
Adcnoids and infected tonsils may
serve as the portals Of infection and
also may decrease the ability Of the in
dividual to breathe properly, materially
affecting the general health. t
While everything should be done to
avoid infection, we must guard against
silly and hysterical fear Of the disease.
A great injustice has been done care
full consumptives who are source Of
danger to no one, by this form of hys-
tcria. This unwarranted fear has
driven them from employment and
Eiade them Outcasts. 1t is neither sane
nor humane.

Senior Glass Picnic,

The annual Senior class picnic, which
must inevitably rrecede graduation, was
held Thursday afternoon in Kendall
Young park. 1t had been previously
arranged to hold the picnic in Briggs
woods but owing to the showers it was
deemed safer to hold the picnic nearer
to the city. Sixty from the class OF
eightytive attended and a jolly time
was spent despite the Indictment
weather. Through the combined efforts
of Prof. c. NJ. Ross and several of the
seniors, Il fire was kindicd in one of the
camp stoves in the park and ''wcinies'
were roasted. The party returned to
the city early in the evening.

PICTURE FOR PIO-
NEER "REMINISCENCES
Mrs. Sarah Bonebright has
Picture Taken for
Book.

1t frequently happens that great
events of our lives are initiated yer!
quietly. Over 20 years ago, Wilson
Brewer and family located OH tho
Boone river and founded Webster City.
Thursday, Sarah Brcwcr-Boncbrgh
only resident surviving member of the
first family, came up town for short
time. Her coming, in an automobile
she declared was somewhat different
flom the family's initial trip here with
oS-teams and covered wagons.
Mrs. Boncbright cannot often be per
suaded to leave the old homestead, al
though she usually attends the stock
and poultry shows or similar exhibits
Her past recent trip was on presidential
election day when, over 50 years OF
age, she cast her vote along with the
women of Iowa who for the first time
exercised the right of suffrage.
The purpose Of Thursdays coming
was to have Il picture of herself for the
book of pioneer "reminiscences which
now is in the hands of publishers, and
which book will recount the many hard
ships experienced and privations endur-
Cd during the early years of the pioneer
residents here.
Mrs. Bonebright seems to have thriv-
eli on adversely, however, for she is
well and active and looks after her
household with minute detail. She says
she could not live from tin can, Il
paper bag and milk bottle, as many
do today, so she rOasts chicken, bakes
cookies. pie and biscuit for her family
or any chance corners, and is happy in
doing it.
A number of our townsmen called at
Svenson's studio to greet Mrs. Bone
bright, and with one mind they declared
if they could live to her age and be
as jolly, bright, hopeful and good look
ing as she, they would be satisfied,

LAND DEAL INVOLVES
S192,oo0IN CASH
"A Big Deal in Hamilton
County Land Takes
Place.

A big land deal, involving the ex
Ichange of $4,000 in cash, took place
in Hamilton county Wednesday. The
land, $40 acres in all, near harrisburg
and Williams, was sold by Perry
parties to Nicoll Halsey of Des
Moines. There are three farms in the
land invOlved-tle Peter Stone farm,
northwest of Blairsburg, quarter
section; quarter section two miles
southeast of harrisburg, known as the
Williamson place, and 800 acres north
west of Williams, known as the Cam
Hay half section. Whitman & Hampton
of this city sold these farms two years
ago at prices ranging from $50 to $500
an acre.
Real estate men look upon this deal
as an evidence of the stability Of Iowa
land, and the faith that substantial
and careful investors have in its per
manent value.

More money has been expended for
drainage in Iowa than it cost to con-
struct the Panama canal. Iowa has
j,3S3, 900 acres of drained land which
has resulted from projects of recent
years. At present there are. 727, 600
acres of unimproved land in total
area of 35,575,OOO acres, according to
the 1920 census reports just released.
At present there are drainage enter
prises amounting to II per cent Of the
area and valued at $5OG74,1 1856. 1t is
also reported that there is only 49,
600 acres of cut-over and timbered
land in the state, which is small as

.RHoLLEY MERSON
SETS GOOD EXAMPLE
Assisting r. w. Frank With
Cattle at the Sale
Pavilion.

Does it pay the young manhood OF
this community to while away their
hours daily basking in the sunshine in
front of some of the business places on
the sunny side of the street, or would
they not be better off and the country,
too, if they were to emulate the eX-
ample of RhOlley Merson, a young
man from Wisconsin who is assisting
with the fitting Of the r. w. Frank
sale cattle over at the stock pavilion
in this city.
This young man is made Of the kind
Of stuff that spells success and he is
the sort of chap who is going to do his
bit for his country without whimper
because he is going to be in position
to do it without incOnvcniencing him
self, but rather will find it pleasure
Last year he had the pleasure of
fitting and showing the baby beef
that won the championship at the Wis
consin state fair. The calf was sold
on the market at % cents per pound
and netted the neat little sum of $251,
in addition to this he won $500 in cash
premium money. This sort of a start
caused ''Rholley" to decide to go after
the business in earnest, SO he selected
beautiful little Aberdcen-Angus calf
and began fitting him for this seasons
shows.
He became so attached to the calf
that when he accepted position with
Mr.. Franks force he just packed up"
his belongings, including the calf, and
brought him along, thus insuring the
calf his personal attention and friend
ship during his period Of fitting. 1t is
the intention Of this young man to
show his calf in the baby beef class
at the Iowa state fair this fall.
Would it not be worth while for
some of the local boys to take up a
similar vocation? The cattle industry
is offering the best future for industri-
Gus, keen-sighted, wide-awake young
men of any of the out door pOssibili-
ties of today. Think it over-it is q
good time to start something.

Fish Hatcherics in Iowa.

The first fish hatchery in Iowa was
established few miles east of Man
chester, Delaware county, some years
ago. This hatchery is on a swift
running stream fed by springs, and
ia the hottest weather the water is
ice cold. Trout Matching is carried
On here. On the stream that flows
out of Spirit Lake into East Okoboji
is another state hatchery and this
has been in operation for several years.
Contract has been let for Il hatchery at
Clear Lake. The new hatchery will he
devoted to pike culture. and is to be
built at cost of $1,000. Work on the
structure of the institution is to be COM
pleted by the first Of October. One hun
Gred jars will be the capacity of the
Clear Lake hatchery. Each jar has a
capacity Of approximately 10000 eggs.
Thus the hatchery will be enabled to
turn out in the ncighborhoOd of 17,5OO,-
600 small pike for restocking the
streams of Iowa and this at Il single
Matching. The fish and game commits
sion also contemplates the erection OF
a trout hatchery at Backbone park, in
Delaware county, just south of Straw
berry Point, at some time in the near
future. Plans for the trout hatchery
ere well under way, but as yet no def
mite date for the commencement of the
work has been decided upon.

Compulsory Vaccination.

Compulsory vaccination of school
children has been bone of cOnten-
ton for many years in Iowa, especial
~ has this been true since the devel-
olment Of Christian Science. At the
present time there is case on its
way TO the state supreme court that
grew out of opposition to the man
date of the state board of health that
all pupils in the city schools of Des
MOincs must be yaccinatcd. At lie
Mars, Plymouth county, Judge Hutchin-
son was asked to pass Judgment when
John Z. Hansen, in the name Of his
children Floyd, aged 8, and Irma, aged
is. asked that an injunction against the
city superintendent and the board of
directors be issued. He claims that he
is tax payer in the school district and
his children are entitled to the priyi-
lcgcs of attending school and that the
action of the school authorities in pre-
venting them is illegal. Mr.. Hansen
says in his petition that his children are
healthy and immune from smallpox, al
though they have not been vaccinated.
He says there has been no smallpox in
his family and further says there were
only few cases of smallpox in the
school and no epidemic of the disease
in town. The school board declares that
the Hansen children are the only ones
out of $50 in the district that have not
been vaccinated.
