BLIND ARE DECREASING.
Drop of 1855 in Decade Laid to
Trca tment.

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-The number OF
blind persons IN the United States de-
creased from 57,272 in 1910 to 52.617 in
1920, according to figures for the last
census announced to-day by the Census
Bureau
The decrease was attributed in part
to advanced methods for treatment OF
blindness and also to education OF the
public in prevention OF blindness.
The affliction was shown to be more
common among negroes and Indians
than other races.

To Adopt Child" of 45

Marshalltown, Iowa-.Adoption pa
pers were deposited with Miss Fanny
V. Nosbury, county recorder, by
Christopher P. Hopkins, who desires
to adopt Carrie Hopins Dearborn,
age As. The case was so unusual
that the recorder was at a loss to
know whether to enter the papers of
record. The question of the adop-
tion of person who had passed the
minority was raised and there was
further cause for questioning the
Legality of the adoption, there being
no one to "give the child away" The
papers show no lawful parents Iiv-

acres of corn, eighty acres cabbage,
sixty acres of soy beans, and they

there. The soy beans are fine, l
would say, and the best of it all is
that it is hard to tird a weed in the
field anywhere.
THE work is all done with horse
drawn MACHINERY except the care cf
the onions, whicn is done with hand
cul.ivators. For anyone who has no:

him all around. He has one of the
finest sets of farm buildings that
can be found anywhere and every
thing is modern fresh water system,
cilo and all up TO date buildings.
"Mr. Sedeleck lives in town and
goes out every day to the farm. He
has forty acres of onions that will do
to market by the last of July so as
to get the early high price"

ILLEGIMATE CHILD
Law Says 1t Has Right TO Share in
Fathers Estate.

Des Moines, Iowa,-The last chap
ter of a story of suffering that reads
like a novel by Eugene Sue was
written Friday, when the Iowa SUI
preme court affirmed the right of an
illeg.timate child Ito share in the fa-
lther's estate.
The suit was brought against w.
f. Rathbone and S. E. Lathrop, eX-
ecutors of the will of George w.
Hastings, and the Christian Home
Orphange of Council Bluffs, Iowa,
by George d. Hastings.
Hastings sued to establish mis-
right to participate in the estate of
his father, who died Feb. II, 1918,
leaving $4,000. The will gave $4,000
each TO four nieces and nephews,
and ordered that the remainder be
donated to the Christian Home
Orphange of Council Bluffs.
The deceased was never married.
George Hastings, who claimed to be
his son, was born at Ackley, Iowa,
Nov. 6, 1879. According to court
records his mother at the time Of
his birth, was a married woman who
had been deserted by her husband,
from whom she subsequently obtain
ed divorce. Prior to the birth of
the child legal proceedings were in
sti.uted at which the father admit
ted the paternity of the child.
The mother died, and the child,
under the stigma of illegitimacy
wandered about the community pass
| ing under various names.
Describing the life of the son, JUS
ice f. f. Faville, who wrote the su-
preme court decision, said: "AmOng
his intimates he bore the soubriquet
of Yankee George" The story OF
his life reads like the tale of "The
Wandering jew" The curse seems
to have been upon him."
1T is one of the reproaches OF
common law" Justice Fayville con,
| tinued, (which has shocked the leg,
islative and judicial conscience Of
the civilized world, that the illegiti,
mate child has no inheritable blood
This is only a legal fiction. Thi.
state has shorn that idea of it's rea,
son. 1t is a rule in this state that
an illegitimate child whose paternity
has been established during the life
of the father can inherit"
The supreme court admitted the
right of Hastings to his share of his
fathers estate, and modified the pro
vision of the lower court and or
dered that one half Of the costs o.
the litigation be assessed against tn,
estate of the deceased Hastings anC
one half against the Christian HON,
Orphanage. All the cost of the su
preme court action was assesse,
against the orphanage.

OUR ICE BILL

One million dollars a day is what
Ice costs the American people. The
national ice bill for 20 years is as
big as the present national debt
Paying for our ice until 1902 is
not going to start an economic
earthquake. Why worry then,
about the national debt? Somehow,
a dollar handled by Uncle Sam
looks 10 times as big as a dollar
handled by the individual American
With Americans using a billion
dollars worth OF ice every three
years, man with shovel-type OF

The first artificial ice was not made
until the last year OF the Civil War
AS late as 1880, only 81 ice fac

RE.DISTRICT PRECINCTS
Editor The Ardmoreite:

Editor The Ardmoreite:
1t seems like The move that was be
ing made to reorganize the election
precincts in Ardmore TO make them
smaller by creating more precincts Is
about to fan through The reason
given for this by the county election
board is that the change in the num-
berng Of the precincts would cause
all the voters to have TO register again
in order to be qualified to vote in the
election this fall and that some voters
would not have enough interest in the
result of the election to do that.
My individual opinion is that if any
qualified voter who lacks sufficient
interest to qualify himself to vote fails
10 do so the country and the commu-
nifty has not lost anything by their
action They are just a knot on Il
stick as far as their value goes to our
system Of government.
The facts about our precincts are
that they are too large and that they
contain too many voters. This causes
crowdng and refined and modest wo-
men don't like to have 10 stand in

and behind by a negro or some white
employe Of a garage with his clothes

are not going to do it.
They will miss their vote rather than
do that, and l don't blame them.

FLYING SAILBOATS

Flying BICYCLES motorless air
planes propelled by pedal-may be
the next sensation in aviation. This
is predicted by Glenn Curtis who.
with the Wright brothers. pio-
neered the airplane
Cur,iss says that the whole
science OF flying may be revolu-
tionized by the recent gliding con-
tests in Berlin. A glider is a fly
ing machine without a motor. Most
OF the German gliders are mono
planes. In the Berlin contest one
glider remained in the air more
than three hours.
Cur,iss attaches great impor-
tance to the Berlin gliding sue
cess because the real goal OF avail
tors is to be able to fly like birds.
The pilot OF glider is the closest
approach yet 10 "bird-man."
Everyone is asking what keeps
the darned things ailoat and what
prevents their falling"
In a general way, a glider is a
lot like a boX-kite.
The gliding machine, in leaving
the ground and soaring into the
air. takes oil from a high place. A
hillside is best, for air currents ris.
ing from the ground roll mp a hill

Not as powerfully, but sufficient to
lit the machine.
The glider travels ahead on air

water.

that a gliding machine would hav,
