Iowa Farmer Endows Four Schools
With 400 Acres

Glenwood, Iowa-In life George
Buss, a farmer living just over the
line from Emerson in Montgomery
county, was not known as Sunday
school man, yet he has in death done
something for four Sunday school
organizations that few men ever did
while living.
The will Of Mr.. Buss, which has
just been filed for probate, provides
that 400 acres of land, valued at
$4,000 at a conservative valuation,
be, set aside as an endowment for
the four Sunday schools.
This land will produce at a low
estimate return which will enable
the three Sunday schools of Emer-
son and the county Sunday school
organization, which are mentioned as
the benefciaries, to receive at least
$40 each Sunday of the year.
Mr.. Buss was a farmer who made
money rapidly and invested his sur
plus earning in land and at his
death was the owner of many hun
dreds of acres of valuable farm pro-
perty.
A son, Elmer Buss, and /. n.
Cheney, banker of Emerson, have
been named as trustees of this uni
que endowment.

EGG TRAVELLED LONG WAYS
Iowa Egg Finds Way to Breakfast
Table at Panama Canal.

Woodbine, Iowa-How a marked
egg took four and half months to
travel from Woodbine, Iowa to the
Balboa commissary and how it was
originally sold with others at Is
cents but brought IS cents in the
commissary, is tale which Lieu
tenant M. Peterson, of the Balboa
police force knows to be fact.
Early in December Mrs. Peterson
bought dozen eggs at the Balboa
commissary for IS cents. At break
fast the next morning her husband
saw name written on the egg in
front of him. 1t was Edward ID.
Johnson, Woodbine, Iowa.
He wrote to Mr.. Johnson telling
him how much he paid dozen for
the eggs and this is what Mr.. john
son wrote back in the letter received
by Lieutenant Peterson yesterday.

nation from you in regard to the

Bride and Groom Under Quarantine

Bride and Groom Under Quarantine
Wall Lake, Iowa-A peculiar cir
cumstance occurred at the home OF
David Damn, located about eight
miles southeast of Wall Lake.
A daughter, Miss Mary, was to
have been married to Tony Nueman
Tuesday, Jan. 81, but last week
Tony was taken sick while visiting
at the home of his bride to be.
A doctor was called and he pro-
nounced the trouble as smallpox
and ordered the home and its occu-
pants to be quarantined.
1t is claimed that the opera house
had been rented in Breda and all
arrangements made to establish a
new record in the way of weddings
in that vicinity. The couple are
making the best of it and, while the
wedding bells will not ring quite
as soon, yet they may now, at their
leisure, go over the wedding plans
and see if anything had been over
looked or could be improved.

STARK DELICIOUS
Bore After 3 Severe FrOsts and 2
Bad Freezes.

In many sections, Stark Delicious
was the only variety to bear crops
this past season. For instance, the
Louisville Evening Post states:
"Charles SCHNEIDER, extensive fruit
grower, Floyd Co., Ind, stated yes
terday that half his apple crops was
saved, the variety saved being Stark
Delicious alone. He believes that
this variety is the one to withstand
the late frosts which occurred in
Indiana
In our test orchards in many
states, both Stark Delicious and
Stark's Golden Delicious bore, des-
pite 3 frost and 2 freezes this year.
STARK Delicious can't be beat"

Sept. 30, 1921. | had apples on
them just harvested that weighed l
pound each. picked one ton off of
four trees-the finest ever saw.
The buyers all want Stark Delicious.
They sure get the money!
Every Stark Delicious that you get
from Stark Bros. contains the
"blood" of the original Stark Delici-
Gus trees-which at more than 80
years of age is still bearing apple
crops!
All the bog horticultural authori-
ties and shrewed orchardists praise
and plant only genuine Stark Delici-
Gus trees. They know that every
Stark Delicious tree shipped out by
us is true descendant of the or
iginal Stark Delicious tree, which we
alone control.
The marvellous stamina, hardness
heavy and regular bearing qualities
of the original tree, is the inherit
ance and the birthright of all the
Stark Delicious trees we sell.

Ten Per Cent Higher This

IN MAKING REDUCTIONS

Larger Part of Increase in
POlk-Audubon, Butler and
Clark Among Counties
i'm Which Taxes Will
Be Lower.

Des Moines, Iowa--Taxes this
year will average about 10 per cent
higher than last year, Judging by the
assessment reports now being filed
with the state auditor. In a few
counties, the grand total of taxes will
be slightly less than those paid last
spring, but these counties are in the
minority.
In Polk county the assessment for
all taxes in 1921, to be paid this year
is S8,5S5, 1855, which is S1,49,847.96
more than the assessment for 1920.
This is an increase of about IA per
cent in one year.
City Taxes Lower
Residents Of Des Moines will prob
ably be surprised to learn that the
city taxes, of the county are about
$4,000 less than last year, but this
is because special taxes are not in
cluded in the report. The $1,050,000
increase in the county comes from
the increase in the taxes for district
schools, bridge taxes, general state
tax, general county county tax, state
insane hospital tax and the miscell-
aneous taxes.
The largest increase in Polk county
taxes is approximately half million
dollars for district schools. The mis-
cellaneous taxes are a quarter of a
million larger, the bridge taxes, gen
eral state and general county taxes
are each over 100000 larger and the
tax for the state insane hospitals has
increased over $4,000. There is a
slight decrease in a few classes of
taxes.
Increase in Many Counties
In Linn county the taxes have in
creased from $2,S77, 6S5.S1 in 1920 to
IS, 0O6, 620.6S in 1921. Scott county
shows a raise from $1,000, 269.04 to
So ,239 ,032.40; Pottawattamie county
from $2,176,690.73 to $2,4l4,47I8S;
Clinton county from 81 $50, 527.43 to
$1,S11 ,499.9S; Calhoun county from
$843,61S.01 to $1,091, 926.74, and
Buena Vista county from $959,578.0S
to S1,O67 ,656.28.
On the other hand Audubon county
shows a decrease from $685., 1901 in
1920 to 1921, O45.3S in 1921; Butler
county from $S43,61S.O1 to 1902, 644.07
and Clarke county from $4OS, 1895
to 1877 ,34O.66.
