FIND BURIED MEAT
Three Sacks of Salt Pork Unearthed
in Woods South of WaukOn.

Mike Kinney was out hunting In
the woods between Bruce Millers
place and the cemetery north OF
town last Friday when he came upon
a fresh mound of earth which gave
prospects of find of some kind
beneath the surface. He called
Bruce Miller to the scene and after
some digging unearthed some cloth
ing. BY that time they began to get
shaky, thinking they were coming
onto a corpse, but further digging
revealed the hidden treasure IN the
form of three sacks of salted pork.
Theories are many as to the motive
of the person who hid the meat IN
such a place, but the officials are
without any clues as to solution OF
the mystery.-Waukon Standard.

DOESN'T 1T MAKE YOU MAD?
New Automatic Grain Shocker Be-
ing Demonstrated and Sold
in Iowa.

An automatic grain shocker is be-
ing demonstrated and sold in Iowa.
The thing is supposed to leave the
grain in shocks behind it just as the
binder throws off bundles in heap.
Doesn't it make you mad, old tim
er? You, who in the tenderness of
early youth carried bundles" for
hard boiled old citizen who never
seemed to tire and who insisted that
each and every bundle be laid just
so, butts first" and who slammed
shocks together, capped them ex-
pertly and was on your heels order
ing you to hurry; you who later
"bound your station" behind "seven
foot cut" reaper drawn by a four
horse team; who shocked behind the
machine while the sun burned like a
furnace and the weed dust poisoned
your arms. Why, when the wire
binder came on you drew long
breath and Strengthened up your
back, drew a longer one when some
benefactor of his race invented the
bundle carrier. And now the au-
tomato shocker. Gosh, seems like
nobody has to work hard nowadays.
Yes sir, they sit on a gang plow
to plow. We hung on the handles
of a II inch plow and walked be-
hind a eve necked team. In the
furrow. Remember how you dug the
caked dirt out of your plow shoes
at night? He rides the plow or the
tractor now. We dragged corn ground
with an old drag tapping half. Got
about a four foot cut, He rides the
big harrow, or b'jinks he has cart
h.tched to it and rides along behind
like a king in a chariot. He can't
"make a band" He rides the binder.
Now hes got an automatic shocker.
He had a hay tedder and side ie
livery rake and hayslings long ago.
A two tined bundle fork is a curio-
slty and three flned nay FORK
mere convenience. He straddles a
seat to plow corn. He drives
manure spreader. We had Strong
arms tools to do our work with.
Doesn't it make you mad?
They're steering ships and flying
machines with radio now. Pretty soon
a new generation Of farmers will sit
on the front porch with an electric
fan going, a bottle of non-alcoholic
fresh from the ice box, dressed up,
like as not, and plow and sow and
reap by radio. Just turn switch

wheels go round. Doesn't it make
you mad, old timer? Marshall

Dead Beat Has Had His Day

Once .npon a time the "deadbeat"
nd hisarVS aid -ga-to a town with
Comparatively small amount of
ready money and could run up all
sorts of bills with oil sort of trades
men, clearing out later when the
landlord dispossessed them for un-
paid rent, says an exchange.
1t was of no use for trademen to
sue, for the deabeat never had any
thing solid on which to levy. The
post office has a rule against giving
out forwarding addresses, so there
was often no way of finding them.
They began all over again in the
next city, and keep going for years
and years in this fashion.
What fun or satisfaction people
. could get out of life under those
circumstances is impossible for hon
est people who fear no doorbell ring
to guess, but there must have been
some lure in the life, for many led it.
Now this is impossible. Every
city of any size has its credit organ
ization, and those are affiliated with
the national association. If a man
owes a bill in indianapolis and has
left town without satisfying that firm
of his intent and ability to pay, he
will find great difficulty in establish
ing credit in Butte or Tacoma or
Bangor.
The man who has been offered
better job in new town just after
the new baby came and before the
wedding furniture is entirely paid for
will have no trouble in establishing a
modest and reasonable credit in the
new place. The credit men know
him, too. They know he somehow
kept some kind of payments going
on his bills in the most difficult
months. They know the difference
between him and the other fellow,
and they want to help him to get on
his feet and get ahead. He is going
to be a better customer every year.
They are a mighty keen and persis-
tent bunch, and their worldly wis
dom works both ways.

DECLINE OF THE FENCE
In Years Gone BIZ Fences Seemed
Necessary.

The tendency for a good many
years in American cities and towns
has been to do away with fences
around private residences and throw
all such grounds into a stretch of
greensward in which there my be
nothing to mark the boundaries.
In country towns fences often US
ed to seem necessary as cattle might
be driven through the streets and
unless lawns were protected the wan
dering beasts would tear the smooth
turf with their laundering hoofs.
But with the spread of the open lot
idea, multitudes of people burned up
their old fences for firewood.
In most ways it seems an improve
ment. Many people had failed to
keep fences in good order and they
looked shabby and tumbledown.
Grass did not grow we'll under their
shadow. The change gave a park
like effect to a city and opened
pleasing visitas to the eye.
While. cattle rarely wander about
the streets of cities and towns in
these times, the open lawn is sub
ject to the tramplings of other an
imals that are quite as destructive.
The boys of the neighborhood, whose
elders have failed to provide them
any suitable playground, frequently
occupy the street for ball playing.
Great are the tramplings when the
fielders tear across the grass. Fre-
quently ball will be lost in shrub
berry and whole troops of youngsters
have to come in and look.
Frequently on their way to school
they will frolic around on the lawns
that they pass. Under these dis
couragements it is getting quite diff
ficult for many people to raise any
grass at all. A good many regret
the disappearance of the old time
fence.
A hedge of some pretty schrub is
a splendid way to mark boundary
line and protect a lawn from en-
croachment. 1t is in itself beautiful,
which fences may not be. Unless
permitted to grow too high it does
not obtruct the view. Many house
holders are replacing the old fash
ioned fence with such line of fol-
iage

--A-GIN,S CHARGE KILLS A
HORSE
When Farmer Shot TO Brighten Some
Midnight Thieves.

People living northwest of lndep-
endence have been bothered with that
lowdown species of humanity, the
chicken thief, of late. At the Tyler
farm they had some stolen and Off
cials advised them to do some watch
ing. Thursday night the son went
to the barn, armed with shotgun.
He fell asleep during the night and
while he was wrapped in the arms
of Morpheus somebody entered the
barn and helped themselves to set of
harness, which was found later in a
field. The next night, Friday, Mr..
Tyler did guard duty in the barn loft.
Late in the night two men made
their appearance and started to lead
away horse. Mr.. Tyler in the hay
loft, in order to give them the fright
of their lives, bazed away at their
heels. The gun charge, instead OF
finding its mark in the heels of the
two nocturnal male visitors, struck
the horse in the hip and killed him
instantly. As for the two sneak
thieves, we presume they are run
ming yet. - independence Bulletin
