Grapefruit Ripened in
Cold Storage Is Best
Federal Agricultural Experts Find
New Way Produces Better Fruit.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Grape-
fruit appearing on the American
breakfast table may in the future be
that coaxed to ripeness while reposing
i in. a frigid temperature of some refrig-
Grating plant.
Department of agriculture experts
announced after completion of a Sc
res of experiments begun in 1917 that
citrus will ripen off the tree, and like
pears and apples will develop a supe-
rior eating quality after a period of
one to three months in cold storage.
The fruit, however, must be suitably
"cured" before being placed in cci3
storage.
The government experts found, it
was said, that while the sugar content
of the fruit remained about the same
the acid content decreased markedly
during the storage and apparently the
bitterness was broken down.

"HER TEMPORARY HUSBAND"
To be Shown at the Grand Opera
House Tuesday, November
7th, 1922.

THE gayest comedy of the sea-
SON., is what the critics say of the
new play by Edward A. Paulton,
which has appeared with gratifying
success in New York and Chicago.
A company of distinction has been
selected to present this play on tour
and the play goer of this vicinity
will no doubt voice the sentiments
of those who have already been pri-
.yiledged to witness this bright come
dy. The story develops a new angle
in romance, with dialogue Gales
brilliant and mirth provoking. To
attempt to relate that story in ad-
vance would be unwise as it would
rob the audience Of a portion of
suspense and surprise, but we are
assured that the author, Edward A.
Paulton, who has written many pro-
minent successes has surpassed all
his previous efforts and produced a
comedy which will be ora u the
asx.s 0nAv.

BIG FIRE AT ROMAN FARM
Two Barns and Corn Crib DESTROYED
Early Saturday Evening

Last Saturday evening about seven
O'Clock disastrous fire broke out
on the VIM. Roman farm at the
southwest edge Of the city, burning
two barns and a corn crib. The
family had just concluded their sup
per and some of the folks were get
ting ready to go to town, and on
opening the door of the house dis
covered one Of the barn on fire. the
upper portion being all ablaze, in a
short time the other two building
caught and all were completely level
ed to the ground. The Decorah fire
department responded but were un-
able to save the building. There
were 20 tons of hay stored in the
barns, besides 200 bushels of oats
and 80 bushels of barley. The corn
crib contained 100 bushels of corn,
and this as well as the rest of the
grain and hay was destroyed.
There was no insurance carried on
the grain. 5000 was carried on the
big barn and $400 on the corn crib.
How the fire started is a mystery,
as no lantern had been lighted and
mo defective lights were about the
barn. The loss is heavy one and
Mr.. Roman has the sympathy of
many friends.

To Users of City Water

A recent examination of the city
water shows that in some respects 1t
is not up to its usual state of purity.
The authorities at Iowa City say that
the condition is not serious and may
have been due to the container IN
which the sample submitted for ex-
animation was sent TO the state
health department.
However, the city authorities feel
that it is best to take no chances,
hence it is suggested that until fur
ther notice users of city water boil
it before using it for drinking pur-
poses. ...,.,..-
New samples have been sent to the
state department for examination
and as soon as. the reports are re-
ceived full information will be made
public. Public health is matter OF
