CROWDING THE SEA SERPENT
Old Friend Of the Ocean Summer
Resorts Makes Way for Pirate
Ship FROM Russia.

We believe but one sea serpent has
been sighted so far this season. Per-
haps 1t Is still little early, but the
weather has been hot enough to bring
our old friend to the surface, and no
doubt the frightened and delighted
visitors at shore resorts and those
who go out to sea In boats for a
short distance will soon be rewarded
with sight of his ugly head or fasci-
mated by the water churned up by
the swishing of his angry tail. How
ever, it is possible, that the sight more
calculated to thrill win be the pirate
ship from Russia that Is moving In
such mysterious way its wonders to
perform. If this is So we are certain
that for every view of the sea SER
pent that is recorded on the part OF
credible witnesses there will be 20
equally credible witnesses who caught
glimpse Of the new terror Of the
deep, long, low and dark, either just
before 1t submerged or at the moment
1t came to the surface to cast its eye
about for new ship to Capture and
sink or to drag away the crew in irons
to Bolshevik Russia. To the elderly
skeptic who inquired where such a
craft secured its necessary fuel the
less critical young woman answered
that 1t probably operated by electric
ity. What could be more probablef-

taken by one of the Roman papers.
The argument advanced for being

no competition. Her husband was
never away from home and there was
no other woman on whom he might

STATE AppoINTs NEW NURSE

The State Board of Health at it's
October meeting by formal resolu-
ton appointed Miss Anna M. Drake,
r. NJ, of the Iowa tuberculosis As
ISOLATION. as Director of Public
Health Nurses of the State of Iowa.
Not only is it believed that this
will fill a long felt need but it is
stated that this is one of the most
important steps of progress in pub
lie health work which has come about
in the state.
There has been a demand for
sometime, both on the part of the
nurses themselves and other people
interested in public health work,
that public health nursing in the
state of Iowa should receive direc-
ton from the state and from the
state government. There are sew
eral groups of public health nurses,
including nurses employed by county
boards of supervisors, school nurses,
city nurses, Red Cross nurses and
nurses attached to social agen-
cies such as visiting nurse associa-
tions, and only one Of these groups
has heretofore received any advice
from some central source. In the
future all the public health nurses
in the state, whether working under
public or private auspices, will be
given the benefit of such counsel
and. service which Miss Drake shall
be able to render.
A special committee consisting of
DIR. Chas. s. Grant, representing the
State Board of Health; Miss Helena
Stewart, head of the School of Pub
lie Health Nursing of University Of
Iowa, and DR.. John H. Peck, repre-
senting the Iowa tuberculosis Asso-
citation, was appointed by President
Launder, of the Board of Health, to

EIower Worth Small, Fortune.

Ten thousand dollars Is an extraor-
binary price for a single plant; yet 1t
was paid by English horticulturists
for an orchid raised in America, the
Catteleya gigas alba.
This Catteleya was lowered in 1910,
and exhibited at an orchid show In the
United States, where 1t was awarded
a gold medal. The plant was found In
1909 In a lot of other specimens OF
Catteleya gigas. 1t was only by chance
that the plant was not sold for a dol
lar or two. The only reason was that
after most of its companions had been
disposed of this one, with some others
that were not in very good condition,
was set aside. Finally all the speci-
mems were pOtted.
To the great surprise of the horti-
culturists When, next spring, the plant
came up 1t was with pure white flow
ers. The plant was sold In London
for perhaps the highest figure that an
orchid ever brought.

GOWN WORN BY JOHN WESLEY
English Wesleyan Body Receives Gift
Of Robe That Belonged to Found
err Of Methodism.

The Wesleyan Methodist Connexion
has just received from one of its lead
ing laymen a gown that belonged to
the founder of Methodism, according
TO the London Daily News. John Wes-
ley died in 1871, so that the garment
is more than 100 years old.
Time has, of course, left its marks
colored and others are worn and
patched. The material is heavy, and
upon it, worked in black, are flowers
and prancing horses. AS the great
preacher was a little man, the gown
must have hung about his heels.
1t is claimed that the gown was a
preaching gown, but. it is very dis
similar to the ecclesiastical garment
that, according to authentic records,
John Wesley wore In the pulpit. This
one possesses an ordinary sleeve, and
generally speaking, it seems to accord
with the style Of black study-gown.
The donor of the gown has also pre-
sented a pair of slippers belonging to
Wesley. These are in good condition,
and are of the kind that he would
wear in his study.
Wesley, Of course, travelled through
cut Great Britain and Ireland in all
weathers on his preaching tours, and
it was suggested that he wore this
heavy gown as a protection against
atmospheric conditions,
The Wesley museum contains q
large number of interesting relics OF
John and Charles Wesley. 1t possesses
the study chair of John, and presently,
as gift from the donor of the gown,
Charles Wesley's study chair will be
placed there.
A large proportion of the visitors to
the museum come from the overseas
dominions and the United States,
where the interest in all that relates
to the early history of Methodism is
very keen.

in Austria has been discovered in a
cave near Mixnitx. The cavern known
as Dragons Den," Is being excavat-

FIND RELIC or OLD LONDON
Arch Of Bridge Which Must Have Been
Built Centuries Ago Just
Brought to Life.

A very interesting relic of old Lon
don has come to light, according to
the London Times, an arch of old Lon
don bridge, which was demolished dur
ing the construction of the new Lon
don bridge, which began In 1925. The
arch now discovered is the second from
the north side of the old bridge, and
is close to st. Magnus' church. 1t was
disclosed during some building opera
tons now In progress
The first stone bridge over the
Thames was built in 1176, but the
bridge was constantly repaired and
restored, so that there is no evidence
of the exact date of this particular
arch. II was apparently medieval, and
is built of Reigate stone with very
fat trajectory. AT the beginning of the
Eighteenth century, however, three fiat
wrought-stone supporting ribs were
put In, and the middle one of these is
dated 1T03. The arch Is not yet en-
tirely uncovered, but springer at each
side is just being disclosed, and the
The under surface Of the arch is con-
siderably waterworn between the add
ed ribs. 1t is one of the arches close
to which the mill wheel stood for the
raising of water into the watertower
that stood alongside the bridge. This
arch stood in the river, and is, there
fore, an evidence, of the limits which,
as time has gone on, have been i'm
posed on the Thames, the river being
now much narrower than 1t was in
medieval times. 1t is understood that
this relic of old London is to be care
fully preserved.

British Museum oyererowded.

The British museum, says London
writer in the New York Post, has
reached the end of its rope, so far as
space is concerned. BY the law of
1880 every English author, whether
domiciled at-hOme or in the dominionsy
is obliged to place two copies of his
books with the museum, which in turn
guarantees to keep them in good con
dition and make them accessible to the
reading public. The same applies to
newspapers. Space for the latter was
exhausted some time ago and spe-
cial barracks was built to store them.
It is now feared that the same plan
will have to be adopted for the books.

marketing is a necessity of agricul-
ture in the future.
Scotland ana Denmark are in
stances of stabilized agriculture, he
said. They long ago found that they
would have to eliminate all wastes If
they would make living at farming
in their countries, and after develop
ing the most intensive production per
acre, they also turned their attention
TO marketing and eliminated all waste
full processes there. In those coun-
tries, as well as in Sweden and Nor
way. a large part of the consumers
dollar. instead of only II to 80 cents
as in the United States, gets back to
the farm producer All this is accom-
plished through cooperative market
ing.
If we compare our production costs
with what it costs us to get our stuff
TO the consumer, we must acknowl-
edge that we have the most wasteful
system of marketing in the world
Commenting efforts of the farmer
and of agricultural authorities to Sc.
cure increased production, Patterson
emphasized the greater relative impor-
lance of securing fair profits, pointing
to other businesses as examples of
what farming should be as an indus
try.
Preceding Patterson's speech, Coun
ty Agent j. L. Dolan explained the

ages and its own estimate of yields
per acre to the census data, and ar
rives at the conclusions above stated.
He adds: so, too, the present supply
of old corn must be far less than sup
positions based upon the official estm-
ate of 1,572 million bushels on farms
last March, since the two corn crops
of 1890 were nearly 900 millions less

being especially true as TO fresh fruits,
both for the home market and for
export.
Measuring Grain In Bins.
To measure wheat. oats, barley, rye,
buckwheat and shelled corn in bins,
multiply inside length and width of
bin together, then multiply that pro-
duct by the average depth of grain in
the bin. This gives the cubic feet,
which, divided by five and multiplied
by four. gives approximately the
number of bushels of grain.
To Eliminate MddIemen.
The president of the Indiana State
Farm Bureau declares that the aim Of
the L. S. Grain Growers is the elimina-
ton of the middleman in the grain
trade, through the elimination of the
speculative market As farmer who
is familiar with raising grain he
figures that this will provide the
farmer with ready, dependable
market in which to sell his pro-
ducts, with considerable saving to the
public"
Crop Estimates Too Large?
Herbert Myrick, editor of Farm and
Home, makes some sensational claims
regarding u. S. crop estimates. He
says they are entirely too large and
are therefore responsible for ruling
low prices.
Mr.. Myrick asserts there is probably
nearly a billion less corn available
! than the department estimates. and
that he corn crop may be 400,00000C
bushels below the government figures
| He claims that there are twelve million
acres less of corn to be harvested thar

/ that the supply of old corn on hanC
/ is probably 500,000,000 bushels less
than supposed, also that our oats crol
| is but about 60 per cent of last year.
The editor of Farm and Home bases
his charges upon the fact that actua
count by the federal census in Januar!
of last year showed that acreage anc
yield in 1919 had been grossly over
estimated by the department for corr
and potatoes, while the error in oat!
acreage was 10 per cent and 20 pc
cent in oats yield. Editor Myrick ap

proposed wheat treating plant by
which it is planned to eliminate smut
from the seed wheat of the county.
He announced that the plant will be
located at Centerville as the most cen
trail point and will probably be ready
for operation about Sept 20. Reciting
the damage from smut during the past
year, he showed a conservative esti-
mate of $4,000 saving per year to the
county through elimination of this dis
ease.

year as about II percent average for
