farm women aim to be nifty" dressers,
according to reports received here from
all sections Of the state.
Through the medium of the County
Farm bureau, rural women have been
organized into clubs of their own where
pertinent questions Of the household
are discussed. From home aemOnstra.
tiOn meetings these sessions have quick
" evolved into style shows where the
latest modes are talked about with the
same abandon as their city sisters.
Home demonstration agents from
Ames have taught farm women how to
construct their own garments in quite
the modish way. Short skirts and thin.
ish waists are acceptable to the farm
women. but rolled down hose and
freakish attire have been received
with frOwns, despite the appeal of the
younger daughters of the household.

MUCH POOR
SEED CORN
IN HARDIN
(By The Associated Press

EldOra, Iowa. April DISCRIMINATION
tests on seed corn in Hardin county
show that there is an unusual amour,
of disease present in seed corn. The
season of 1921 was said to be favor.
able for maturing corn but favored
the development of various molls
which in many eases were so severe
that termination was greatly reduced.
According to this test, ten per cent
of the ears were found to be unfit to
use for seed. This per centage includes
ears which pere partially or wholly
dead. also ears where termination was
badly weakened by mold. In the ma
jOrity of cases the mold was readily de-
tected. but a great many ears appea red
healthy ON the outside, but were mOldy
ut the tips of the kernels along the
cob. Corn which is mOldy will not
readily terminate, it is said.

BRITISH POLICE
FORGET BILLS
IN IRISH SHOPS
(By The Associated press.)


Dublin, April 10.-Complaint has
been made in some districts of Ireland
that the departing British forces of
the auxiliary divisions have gone with.
ont paying their private debts.
In Kilkenny, an official notice was
published inviting traders to send in
their claims but some Of the traders
have found it impossible to get their
money.
Sir Hamar Greenwood referred them
to the police department in Dublin
Castle and the adjutant of the auxil.
iaries replied that lit is regretted that
no action can now be taken against the
individuals concerned as they have all
been dispersed. Attached, however,
please find list of their last known ed.
dresses"
When this reply was sent to the chief
secretary he wrote: THE debts to
which you refer were private liabil.
tiles Of the individual cadets and as
such the government has no power to
take action to receive these monies for
YOU"
The grievance Of the traders arises
from the fact that they could not at
ford to apply to these formidable aux
Hilary policemen the ordinary tests Of
trade credit. When raids were fire.
quent and destructive it was naturally
thought unsafe to refuse goods to the
forces which could take them.

JEWISH RELIEF
CAMPAIGN SETS
MONEY RECORD
(By The Associated Press. }

Detroit, Mich, April 1O.--Pledges
and money received up to date in the
Jewish War Sufferers campaign fol
s14 100000 total $15, 500, David l
Brown, national chairman. reported
here at a meeting of representatives OF
the American Jewish War relief, Cen
trail relief and Peoples relief. Mr.
Brown added that his conservative
estimate, based upon a careful anal
lysis of the states which have not as
vet completed their campaigns is that
the grand total will reach SIS, 49,
S3G.37."
ITO my knowledge" the report con-
tinued, there is nothing to equal this
achievement in the history of money
raising for any purpose in the country
In non.sectarian appeals made during
the war, when enthusiasm and opti'
mism was ripe and prosperity was ram
pant, the largest amount Of money ever
raised per capita was $1.3O. Other
campaigns, some OF them sectarian
some non -sectarian that were projected
during the years 1914 and 1921. raised
from 5 cents to $l.1O per capita. The
two previous Jewish campaigns in 1917
and 1918 raised approximately $3.3s
and 81 per capita. This campaign, be-
gun during a period Of depression such
as this country has not witnessed III
many years, and which affected our
people perhaps more than any other
people in the country, will give us a
net result of about $3.50 per capita.

Saturday evening, starting at 5:1I
while the wires were lifted to permit
house, being moved west on Second
street to pass under. The power was

AS several high tension wires cross
Second street at Grove, it was neces'

might be handled safely.
The house being moved belongs to
G. NJ. Rouse who is moving it to the
1000 block on Third street. Mr.. Rouse
bought it from J. a. Dunkel. The struc-

Hickory Shortage

In the not far distant future it is
feared that the American manufact'
uring and wood working interests
which have depended so largely on
hickory will eventually be forced
to fin da substitute. According ia
figures of the federal forest service
there is now in the country total
of 1874 200, 900 board feet, distributed
chiefly in the eastern and lake states.
The chief use for hickory at present
includes spokes for automobile wheels,
and golf clubs; in fact for anything in
which the wood must be strong, tough
and elastic.

MEXICANS SEEK
RICHES ON OLD
ACADEMY SITE
(By The Associated Press }

Ell Paso, Texas, April 1O.-Two FL
Paso county landmarks have passed
into oblivion. Both were at San Eliz-
ario, 20 miles from FL Paso. The old
Lorette academy was one of them and
the Salt Lake war barracks was the
other.
The Lorette academy was built in
1910 and for years was a training
school for monks. The story circulat-
ed about the ancient town of San Eliz-
ario, which is declared by some histor-
ians to be q village as old as San Aug
ustin, Fla, (the Oldest settlement in
the United States) is that priests in
charge Of the monastery had great
sum of gold and much paraphenalia
made of precious metals. These treas
ures, keepsakes and gold, were said
to be hidden somewhere on the Lor-
cite grounds. For months small groups
of VILLAGERS, principally Mexicans,
have toiled long hours digging in the
ground for the buried wealth.
Back in the sos the southwest was
largely dependent on bed of salt in
this county for Its salt. A syndica te
moved to the village of FL Paso, leased
the salt beds and began to commercial
ize the salt upon which men and beasts
are dependent. This caused ''war."
Officers trying to protect the legal
holders, the leases. barricaded them
selves in the adobe building which lat
er became known as the Salt war
barracks.
