$4,000 TRACTOR FOR S65
Fayette County Falls Into More Good
Luck-Formerly Got Five u. s.
Trucks for Freight
~, Charges,

Fayette county has had another
piece of good luck in regarl to its
road making equipment. The county
has just received a caterpillar trac-
tor, virtually new, which cost $4,000
but of which the total cost to Fay
cite county is just sos for freight.
This is some more of the govern
ment's army property which became
valueless to the government when
the war closed, which was distribut-
ed among the states, and which in
Iowa is being distributed among the
counties through the agency of the
state highway commission.
This is not the first instance of the
kind, for this county has already re-
ceived from the same source five big
army trucks, which originally cost
about $4,000 each, but for which the
total expense to the county was about
$50 each for freight charges.-West

Arrested at Calmar Tuesday on
Charge of Rape

Sheriff Losch came over Tuesday
and went to Calmar where he arrest
ed Fred w. Jennings, charged with
the crime of rape. The prisoner was
arraigned in the Justice Court in this
city Tuesday afternoon. He at first
insisted on his innocence and fatty
denied any knowledge of the affair,
but later made a written confession
stating in detail the circumstances
connected with the affair. He owned
up to two women he had attacked,
with one he was successful in the
accomplishment of his purpose; with
the other flashing with an umbrel-
la and the turning on of an electric
light caused his immediate retreat.
He was held in $1,000 bonds, fail
ing to provide bond he was remand
ed to the county Jail to await act
ion of the grand jury. His crime
against an innocent and inoffensive
young lady who was a stranger in
the city on her way to visit relatives
it is hoped that he will receive the
whole measure of the law.-Monona

DOped Chickens to Rob the ROOst

DOped Chickens to Rob the ROost
Cascade, Iowa,-Chicken thieves
raided the hennery on the Gearhart
farm one night recently and took
over 200 chickens.
About fifty remaining, which
somehow were overlooked, were
noticed to be droopy and sickly, and
upon investigation were found to
have been affected with some kind
of dope, and it was also then dis
covered that nearly the whole flock
had been stolen, the majority OF
them, no doubt having been sub
jected to doping before being
taken. to keep them from making
any outcry.
The theft happened about the
same time of the raid on the Stocks
farm when Mr.. Stocks turned his
shotgun on one Of the culprits.
Later bloodhounds from Water
loo were secured to run down the
thieves. AS yet no arrests have
been made.

Iceman's Job Ought to be Popular


Cedar Rapids, lowa-Boy, page
Mr.. Volstad.
A local ice company has run up
against a new phase of an old
problem.
Too many of its drivers become
so filled up on wine, home brew and
genuine" liquors given them by
kindly customers that they are
sometimes unable to complete their
routes.
what can we do? They offer it
to US and it's good stuff" said one
driver in explaining how "they got
that way"
The drivers deny that they carry
LIQUOR on their wagons. They don't
need to. Along with handouts of
pie, cake,> sandwiches and other eat
ables they have had lots Of home
brew this summer. More than ever
before since prohibition became eff
fective, they say. 1t goes to show
how many folks are making wine,
home brew, or obtaining in various
ways other forms of liquor.
Some patrons, it seems, rely on
their iceman's judgment of good
homemade wine while others give
the driver a drink just out OF
friendliness- Perhaps the fact that
in many cases during the hot days
a bottle was handy in the ice box
or had to be removed to make way
for the ice made difference, too.
The ice company appreciates the
interest taken in its drivers, but 1t
urges them to be temperate.

Demented Man Uses Fork to Drive
Horses and Cows

On hearing a commotion in his
barn on Monday Jake Krause of
near Volga went out to investigate.
He found a man partly clad, torn
shirt and trousers, driving his horses
and cattle out of the barn with a
pitchfork. He Immediately telephone
ed the sheriff and John Kluth went
out. When Mr.. Kluth arrived they
had tanned the man down, for he Is
undoubtedly demented, and was wrap
ped in a blanket sleeping on the
hay. On questioning him he does
not seem able to tell where he's
from but said he had been gone about
seven days. 1t is thought that he es-
capped from the Fayette county asy-
lum and word was sent to the sheriff
at West Union. He is at present
confined in the county Jail here await
ing word from West Union-Elkades

Sun Rays Start Fire in Store

How easy i is for a fire to start
"of unknown origin" was we'll de-
monstrated Sunday afternoon in the
show window of Mueller's Jewelry
store, when heat generated by the
suns rays burned a streak three
fourths of an inch wide and perhaps
three or four inches long in a case

The curtains in this window had
not been drawn and during the after
noon the suns ray fell, ether on
a cut-glass dish or a silver tray and
were focused on the case containing
the watch with the result as stated
above.-Elkader Messenger.

otherwise he would not have shot it.

MOTION PICTURES EXTRA
ORDINARY

Through special arrangement
with the producers, who are now
making strenuous efforts to stimu-
late attendance at picture theatres
throughout the country, the Gem
Theatre at Clio during the next few
weeks will present series of six of
the greatest pictures that have ever
been shown on the American screen.
These pictures are not has-beens,
they are not films that have been
worn out in the cities, and then sent
out to country theatres, they are the
big features of today in all the big
city theatres, as every one familiar
with the business will know from
their titles, which are as follows
Priscilla Dean in "Outside the Law"
Harry Carey in "The Fox" Dorothy

Priscilla Dean in Conflict" Edna
Ferber in "No Woman Knows" and
Priscilla Dean in Reputation"

Eighty thousand dollars were ex-
pended by Universal for one set
alone, used by Director Tod Brown

to be shown at the Gem Theatre on
Saturday evening. The set repre-
sents San Francisco's Chinatown, and
four complete blocks of this famous

Three hundred Orientals and many
other characteristic types were used

LIGHTNING STRIKES
FARMHOUSE

During the rain and electrical
storm of Tuesday night lightning
struck the house on the Geo. M. Rath-
bone farm, in southwest Vienna, oc-
cupied by Clarence Eagan and fam
lily. The lightning followed some un-
used telephone lines into the build
ing, the instrument having been re-
moved some time ago. Once inside
the house the mysterious and mighty
current played strange pranks,
knocking a considerable amount of
plaster off the room, tearing some
furniture apart and shattering large
mirror in a buffet. The broken glass
from the latter was hurled clear
across the room and portions Of it
were found sticking in door, much
as though it had been shot into it
with a gun. The Eagan family were
promptly aroused by the unwelcome
visitor and on entering the room af-
fected by the stroke found that some
papers had been set on fire, the
flames being easily extinguished.
Mr.. and Mrs. Eagsn find cause for
joy in one phase of the matter, how
ever, as they had at one time con-
sidered the advisability of setting
their bed on the exact spot where
the lightning entered the house but
later changed their minds. If they
had persevered in their purpose the
result would surely have been most
exciting, to say the least.

WELFARE BANQUET

A very pleasant social event took
place in the parlors of the Methodist
Protestant Church, Tuesday evening,
being a Washington's Birthday ban
quet given under the auspices of the
Welfare Society affiliated with that
church. The tables were handsomely
decorated with potted plants and the
cuisine was such did honor to the
traditions of the society as well as
to the present skill of the ladies. The
program was opened with prayer by
Rev. Jos. Dibley. DR.. p. +. White
presided as POSTMASTER in the most
happy manner and c. d. Swift, DIR.
Mercen C. Hurd, Chas. II. Reed and
Rev. Joseph Dibley responded with
short speeches appropriate to the oc-
casion. A very interesting reading
was given by Miss MacKay and Miss
nellie Maddaugh and A. N. Stuber
gave highly entertaining and orig.
inal duet in which the characters in
the play, "The District School at
Blueberry Corners" were hit in a
humorous way. Considering altogeth-
er, the banquet was thoroughly
delightful affair.

VILLAGE TICKET NAMED

A largely attended caucus of the
Citizens party Of the Village of Clio
was held in the council rooms last
Monday evening, at which time the
following ticket was placed in nomin-
alton: President, George Palmer,
Clerk, w. G. Goodrich, Treasurer,
Mrs. Alma Hoff, Trustees, Nelson
Labby, Chas. f. Scholl, VIM. Eaton,
Assessor, Geo. A. Lacure. The
chairman of the caucus, George La
cure, was authorized to name a party
committee, which he did as follows
M. G. Doyle, Chas. II. Reed and Mrs.
W. r. Hopkins. The ladies were con-
siderably in evidence at the caucus
and it is due to the gentleman to
say that they were treated with very
much consideration and courtesy, the
absence of tobacco smoke, very
prominent feature of the old time
political caucus, being especially
noticeable. AS this was understood
to be the only village caucus to be
held this year, the contests were
spirited, but were conducted with en-
tire good nature. The nominees are
all admirable citizens, but the editor
is going to venture the personal opin-
ion, which we have stated before,
that it is much healthier condition
politically for the village when at
least two tickets are placed in nomin-
alton, and disclaiming any personal
bias, we hope this may be the case
next year.

HAVE TO BITE

We have received the following
characteristic note from B. j. Will
son, who, together with his wife, is
spending a few weeks in Florida:
Dear Friend The fishing is fine
here. With the right kind of bait
you can catch suckers from the north
every day. B. j. W."
We are mighty glad that our
friends, the Wilson's, could have the
opportunity of sojourning in the
sunny cline of Florida and while
they are undoubtedly having a good
time we presume they have learned
that during the fishing season the
suckers not only may, but must, bite.

RADIO OUTFIT IN TOWN

jess X. LaDue has purchased and
set up in his store one of the most
marvellous instruments of the pres
ent age, a radiophone or wireless
telephone. This instrument embod-
les the principle of the wireless tele-
graph as it has been applied to the
transmission of speech, and by its use
telephone message may be sent for
hundreds of miles, without the ase
of wires. This being true, it will
readily be understood that musical
selections, lectures, etc, may like
wise be transmitted. In fact, at the
present time, The Detroit Evening
News is maintaining a radiophone
bureau and every evening the owners
of instruments such as that Mr.. La
Due has in his shop may sit down, no
matter where they may live, and
listen for the space of an hour or
more to the finest vocal and instru-
mental music and to the best lectur-
ers in the country. During the past
week quotations of the Chicago grain
market. and musical programs given
IN Detroit and in Pittsburg, Pa, have
been transmitted plainly over Mr..
LaDue's instrument, to the great
pleasure Of those who have gathered
nightly to listen. In order to really
comprehend the marvellous nature of
this little machine, we have consider
ed what it's effect would have been
could it have been set down, say in
a principal spiritualistic church of
fifty years ago. Not to say that
The spiritualists would have need to
resort to anything of the kind, but
what a poser it would have been for
the unbelievers. Mr.. LaDue is look
ing for the arrival of an additional
instrument known as an "amplifier"
and when this arrives it is expected
that the machine will produce a
volume of sound sufficient to fill a
large auditorium. Then, it is ex-
pected, everyone will have an op-
portunity of hearing it.
