MAN GIVES $4,000 TO
GRiNNELL COLLEGE
(Des Moines Register)

: y Fl
Grinnell, Iowa, May 2S.-James l..
Hill of Salem, Mass, has given Grin
nell college $4,000.
He has deposited $4,000 cash to
the credit of the college and stands
ready to erect 100000 building.
The trustees have bis offer in writ
ing as fol.ows:.
ITO the Trustees Of Iowa College:
Il will put in bank, in cash for
the college, $4,000. / will exhibit to
the president the evidence that the
money is there in cash. 1t is my wish
to supervise the investment Of it on
lines known to be acceptable to Pres
ident Main. The money is where it
can be now used. only wait for the
wise opportunity to use 1t. The sooner
the money is invested and the fee
title is in the college, the better I
will be suited. The nature of the in
vestment is such that too many per-
sons cannot mix in brewing the broth,
as too. many cooks have been said to
spoil it.
"In addition to the $4,000 already
pledged, which amount is now on de-
post in the bank, for the college, /
will put building on the campus,
its plan to be acceptable to the pres
ident, to cost not less than 100000.
/ have quite a number of farms, not
poor one in the lot, one of them
having LAO acres, others having $40
acres each. The time to sell is to be
left to my discretion.
JAMES L. HILL
This magnificent gift comes from
one of the most prominent alumni
of the college, who has probably done
more for the college than any one
other graduate. Together with his
brother, Gershom H. Hill, Des Moines,
the Rev. John L. Hill is the originator
Of the Hill prizes for extemporaneous
speaking.
DR.. Gershom H. Hill, Des Moines,
brother of the Rev. J.. L. Hill, was
present at the meeting of the trus-
tees this week.
The gifts are not applicable to
the $1,000,O00 now being raised to
meet the general educational board
gift, according to college officials,
but is available towards the total
100000 fund which is set as the
goal for the campaign. The first
$1,000,000 must be raised by July /
to receive the 100000 from the gem
eral educational board"

COLESBURG

Leonard Henry Woeste, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Herman Woeste, was born
near Colesburg, Iowa, November 20,
1892, and passed away at his home
here May 25th. 1921, aged % years,
6 months and 5 days. All of his life
was spent in this community, where
he received his education in the rural
schools and grew into an Industrious
and dependable young man. He at
tended Sunday School and other re-
ligious services at the Zion M. E.
church and since 1906 had been a
faithful member of that congregation.
He was united in marriage with Miss
Myrtle M. Dodge, March 2Sth, 1918,
and their home was on farm in
This community. On March 29th, 1921
a baby girl was born to them. He
is also survived by his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Herman Woeste, four broth
ers, Fred, Joseph, George and Harvey
Besides many other relatives and a
host Of friends, His illness was very
brief-belng confined to his bed only
four days, with an attack Of inflam-
atory rheumatism. On Wednesday
morning he was apparently much bet
ter. but In the afternoon, there was a
critical turn in his illness, affecting
his heart, and at o'clock, he passed
away. His untimely death is grevious
blow to his family and friends, and
they have the profound sympathy OF
our people. The funeral services were
held from the M. e. church Satur-
day a. m. and were conducted by his
pastor, Rev. n. Minor Lemen. The
music was furnished by a male quartet
with Mrs. L. F. Coon as accompanist.
1nterment was made at Oak Hill ceme-
terry. Sympathy is extended the fam
lily in the great loss they have sus-
tanned.
Mrs. Alice Smith, nee Franks, was
born April goth, 1868. Her parents
MIR. and Mrs Michael Franks, were
pioneer residents of this community
and Mrs. Smith had lived here practi-
cally all her life. The summons to
that far country came to her very
suddenly Thursday evening, May rs,
1921. Although she had not been in
robust health for some time, she was
in her usual health until a couple
Of hours before her passing. Her
death coming so Unexpectedly, was
a great shock to her family, and es-
pecially to her invalid sister, Mrs.
Mary Livingston, who is Frustrated
by it. Her loss will be keenly felt
in the home where she reigned as a
good mother. She was member Of
the Rebekah Lodge and the Royal
Neighbors. Surviving her are the
daughter, Bertha, and two grand chill
dren, her sister and brother, besides
many other more distant relatives.
Rev. W. Minor Lemen officiated at

Department of Agriculture. They are in good favor. too. with the poultry packers on account of their table qualities.
 All the American breeds lay brown shelIcd eggs. They all have yellow skins. and shanks free from feathers, which are desirable qualities for table fowl in this country. In size they are intermediate between the smaller egg breeds. such as the leghornS, and the larger meat breeds, such as the Brah- mas. In temperament they are also intermediate. being less active than the egg breeds, but more so than the meat breeds They are fairly good foragers. The American-class birds mature earlier than the meat breeds. but not so quickly as the egg breeds. They are settlers and make good mothers.

 Planting cover or green manure crops is Il matter which requires at tention in August or September in most parts of the United States, say experts of the UnitUl States Depart ment of Agriculture
 Clover, vetth and other 'egumes serve the triple purpose of adding hu- mus to the soil, accommodating nitro gen and preventing soil erosion. With some tender berry and fruit crops they also serve to protect the roots from severe winter weather. Outside of the ntrogen-forming plants, rye is largely used as Il cover crop sown in the fall and plowed under in the spring to add organic matter to the soil The cover-crop problem varies largely with locality, but for over winter purposes there is one rule which is universal, and that is to get the crop in the ground in time to se- cure good growth before frost.
