The women will do stenography

Wohler swerved to avoid another
car and hit the hydrant full speed,
after having lost control of his ma
chine and plunged across the side

with the ground. Water Immediately
started gushing from the hydrant at
the rate of $500 gallons minute
from the four inch opening, backed
by a pressure of forty-fve pounds
from the city waterworks. The water
ran down the pavement for blocks
and was several feet deep in places.

Farmers Purchase Modern Fire
Truck.

Muscatine, Ia.-When it comes to
real hair raising excitement. CITY
folks won't have much on the farm
residents of the vicinity of West
Liberty hereafter.
The changing bell and slniekipg
siren of the fire truck, commonly
heard along streets of cities and
larger towns, will hereafter resound
through the woodlands and pasture
lots, sending the young lambs, colts
and calves scampering in fright to
their mothers for protection. q
Farmers of this community de-
cided at recent meeting to pur-
chase a high powered fire truck cost
ing about $4,000 and modern chemi-
cal extinguishers suitable for fight
ing rural fires.
4 large proportion of the funds
has already been subscribed.
II is planned to keep this new
truck in the city hall at West Liberty
where it will be manned by members
Of the West Liberty fire department.
This central location will assure
service to all parts of the surround
ing country, it is stated.

a weed ]. Wild growth in the nature
of rank grass. underground, or the
Hike .. Any plant growing in culti'
vated ground TO the injury. of the
crop or desired vegetation, or TO the
Disagreement of the place; an UNI
slightly. useless. or Injurious plant. The
following note is added: a weed issa
plant that is NOT wanted. There are,
therefore, no species of weeds. for a
plant that is n weed in one place may
not be in another.

The Worlds Advancement.

Those who. in retrospect, recall Tie
days of the hand sickle may we'll
marvel at the developments which have
taken place within their recollection
They have seen, besides the develop
ment in agriculture, the Inauguration
of almost countless devices and utili-
ties. They have seen railroads built
across the continent, the telegraph and
telephone perfected, great steamship
lines established and more latterIy the
motor car and the airplane utilized in
everyday affairs. Until the hand sickle
was laid aside ii had been used since
that time to which the memory of men
runneth not to the contrary. And yet
to them, 1t may seem the advent of
the grain cradle and the crude horse
drawn reaper was but as yesterday.
Personified those homely early devices
seem almost like the explorers of the
earlier ages who set out upon voyages
Of discovery with nothing TO guide
them but vision of something grand
err and more beautiful than their eyes
had ever Observation-Disclosures.

THEIR LAST FEAST
Mohammedan Fanatics Paid
Dearly for brain Stew"
Excess of Zeal Discouraged by French
Authorities in Northern Senegal
in Effective Manner.

Boomba Is not the seat of Moham-
medan culture in Africa. Boomba
lies in northern Senegal behind the
west coast of Africa, Inundated at
the onward strides of Dakkar, a
worldly seaport knowing neither. re-
ligion nor shame. And let it be known
to all men that the natives in the
hnterland nigh unto Boomba are as
the "wee sma' hours of the mornin,"
in blacklist darkness; but seeking the
light of great awakening.
Last month, while the Clontarf
stout shipping-hoard vessel, now at
pier 23, foot of Pacific street, lay TO
in the roadStead at Dakkar, wave of
revival hit the vicinity of Boomba, nc
cording to the assistant engineer.
The blacks got religion and the
blacklands resounded with the chant
of There is no God but Allah, and
Mohammed is his prophet"-in fervent
Senegalese.
Now, the German found the Sene-
galese a fiercesome soldier. On his
native jungle trail he is even more SO.
On the warpath went the newly CON
verted Mohammedans. with fire i'm one
hand and the sword in the other, after
the fashion of Saladdin's host. They
were bound to out Mohammed Mo-
manned and great was their zeal.
Furthermore, they were bound on a
quest TO show their brethren, unbeliev-
ing dogs on the docks of Dakkar, that
n warrior of the iungles could acquire
that polish which some say comes only
TO citizens of the worldly state, dwell
ing in a great metropolis.
There CHANGED across their march
party OF Frenchmen, hunting wild
beasts of the field. The Frenchmen
were. moreover, unbelieying dogs. The
slaughter was swift, pitiless and al
most painless. Eleven dead Gauls
were laid at the feet of the chief of the
RoOmba hinterland.
MY children cried he. in rolling
brogue such as is banded about in the
Jungle, "behold these men of culture
and little faith. They have the wis
dom of them who sit in high places,
but they have the faith of the grovel-
ing jackal. We have done well to
chop off their heads. Cow we will do
well to acquire their wisdom. Let us
have brain stew, made from the brains
of the Frenchmen, i'm whom there was
wisdom but little faith"
And so the stew was eaten.
About week later, a dozen of these
fierce seekers after a great wisdom
We're gathered i'm by the French au-
thorities. And i'm another week they
were sent to another land far beyond
the clouds. where the houris tread the
mazes Of the heavenly dance and wis
dom comes TO all men who are true
believers. At least, that is the tale as
told by the assistant. engineer. And
thys endeth the quest of the converts
of the Boomba hinterland, searchers OF
wisdom in the name of the prophet
Brooklyn Eagle.

New Discoveries in Crete.

Excavations at Knossos, Psaetos
and other sites In Crete have not mere
" established the existence of people
whose form of civilization was the
earliest in Europe, but have shown
much about their daily life, gaines,
amusements; their art, religion, writ
ing-though hardly yet their language /;
their physical characteristics, dress
and the houses they live In.
A huge palace, as big as Bucking-
ham palace, has been unearthed at
KnOssos. 1t has a. drainage system
that an eminent Italian archeologist
has described as absolutely English.
and that certainly anticipates the by
draulic engineering of the Nineteenth
century. The men of science engaged
in the work estimate the age of their
discoveries at four thousand years.

DAIRY INTERESTS THREATENED
Denmark Shipping Huge Amount of
Butter to United States.

An early downward revision OF
railway freight rates is imperative il
Iowa is to maintain her present po-
sition as the leading butter-makine
state in the Union, declares the Farm
Bureau Federation.
AS it stands today the high rate
Ito all eastern points operates to keep
the Middle West butter maker out of
his own market. Worse than that il
is turning the eastern markets over
to competing interests from across
the Atlantic and from other coun-
tries.
Ocean traffic from east to west,
for obvious reasons, is very light at
present. To stimulate shipping steam
ship companies are said to be making
all kinds of concessions to foreign
business interests. Old country but
ter makers are taking advantage of
it TO build up a trademin the big
cities along the ATLANTIC coast that
is going to be hard for local inter
ests to overcome.
Denmark, the greatest butter-mak-
ing country in the world for its area,
is shipping butter to the United
States in large quantities. As it is Of
excellent quality and arrives in good
condition It naturally finds ( favor
with the butter-buying public. Ocean
rates are so low that the Danish pro-
duct can be shipped ACROSS, pay pc
cents a pound duty, and then sell for
10 cents a pound more than it will
bring in Europe. The significance Of
the situation must be plain to all.
Imports of butter in 1920 totaled
37,454,000 pounds, against 17,4S7, coo
pounds in 1919, an increase of more
than so per cent. And while that
may seem inconseqential compared
to the annual output of domestic
products it is large enough to cut
nasty figure in price making. The
following table contains food for
thought:

FARM BUREAU GLEANINGS.
orchard and Poultry Demonstrations
Were Well Attended.

Inc orchard and poultry demon
STATIONS held in this county last
week were very well attended on
FRIDAY at TT. Atkinson and Ossian.
Between 80 and 100 people attended
these two demonstrations The going
as well as the weather were very
uh1aVorable on Saturday making it
impossible for US to get to Locust to
put on the demonstration during the
forenoon at A. p. Pfster's. The
same was more or less true at the
demonstration at Harter's in the
afternoon. While this demonstration
was fairly well attended, it was by
no means attended as it should have
been. In spite of these disadvantages
these demonstrations were success
in every way. Much good will result
Of them. Spray material and spray
equipment have already been order
ca Is the result of this work.
Tractor School.
The tractor school for operators of
farm tractors and others interested
will be put on at Ossian on March
"A and 20, namely, Thursday and Fri
gay of next week. A specialist from
the college will be with us to con-
duct this school. The work is free to
anyone interested. All should plan to
be there on hand promptly at $50
Thursday and to put in the two days
without interruption.
Corn for Starving Europe.
The corn growers of the United
States have been asked to donate of
their surplus stores to the starving
people of Europe. For while there
seemed to be conflicting agencies
this corn projct. During
that time the Iowa Farm Bureau
Federation advised Jus to lay low
until the matter settled in defipite
way so that all would feel that the
contributions were made the best
possible use of We now have in
structions to call for donations from
all who possibly can and to make
for the consignment Of
this corn in carload lots to the
Quaker Oats Mills at Cedar Rapids.
Farmers of Winneshiek county are
urged TO contribute to this fund
which is indeed worthy one and
which can at this time be made with
no sacrifice, due to the
prices and practically
no market for our surplus corn.
Many counties in the state have al
ready gathered several carloads of
corn. There should be no trouble for
this county to contribute at least a
carload at least to the starving peo-
Pile of Europe. Anyone wishing to
corn in this project should
with the farm bureau
office for definite instructions. Corn
can be delivered to your local ele-
vators, but see to it that the farm
bureau office is notified as to the
amount of corn SO that arrangements
can be made for carload shipments
and transfers of local lots. This work
must be done at once since shipments
must be made before the first of
April, if this is at all possible.
