ANTHEM OF NATIONS

(By M. S. Johnston)
Jehovah God, in praise
Wejoin, and anthem raise
To Thee our King.
For brotherhood of man,
For peace in every land,
For Thy good leading hand,
Let nations sing.
All peoples hopes are one;
Their freedom once begun
Shall never cease.
Let music peal amain,
Re-echo in the strain
Of angels glad acclaim,
Good will and peace.
All kindreds' veal we love,
And place in Thee above
Our hope and trust.
Lands that are free indeed,
Lands that for right e'er plead,
Lands that to Thee give heed,
Abide they must.
All nations look to Thee,
o God, their guide to be,
Their help and stay.
Long may the lands proclaim
Faith in Thy holy name;
Safe in Thy care remain,
Great God, for aye.

Friendly Acts

The following items appeared in
the Monticello Express recently. 1t
is here republished as an antidote and
corrective to the feelings often arous-
ed by the publication, with glazing
headlines and artful designs to at
tract attention and excite curio sity,
of crime and consequent exploita-
ton of criminals. If these women had
been engaged in intrigue, and there
had been wrong doing and jealousy,
then all petty noisome details and
analysis of motive and sensation
would have been spread throughout
the country. Here they do deeds that
glorify our common humanity and
cheer us in trying to do noble and
right deeds daily, and there are not
likely to be headlines anywhere. But
the account may well help US feel
thankful and think of human nature
as worthy of love and care and min
istering."

Bitten by Mad Fox

Monticello, Iowa-Three persons,
Masters Donald York and Harold
Zimmerman and their uncle, Frank
Lux, Jr., were severity bitten by a
mad fox on the latter's farm south
of Hopkinton, and north Of here. The
head Of the animal was sent to Iowa
City, where doctors at the Iowa
State University confirmed the be-
lief that the fox was afflicted with
rabies. Serum has been ordered from
New York City, and Mr.. Lux ana
his nephews Will go to Iowa City to
receive the asteur treatment.
Donald York was the first one
attacked by the fox. His uncle was
attracted by his screams. Mr.. Lux
brought a gun and fired one shot at
the animal, but did not kill him.
The farm dog then closed in on the
animal, but did not kill him. Be-
fore Lux finally succeeded in killing
the fox, his hand was badly lacerat-
ed by it. Young Zimmerman was
also bitten.

On July 26 young man about
20 years of age appeared at a Sum-
ner bank with $50 check signed by
Ed Clark of Hawkeye and drawn
on the First State Bank. The man
was dressed like IA farmer, wore
colored glasses and said he had work
ed for Clark, but lived near Au-
burn and was on the way to Water
loo. On inquiry he showed an inti-
mate knowledge of Hawkeye and the
Clark farm and he seemed genuine.
He cashed the check.

a check at another Sumner bank.
This was for $32, drawn by Forest

And Has Largest Truck
Farm in State.
CLEAN PROFIT ON
BIG CROP OF ONIONS
Will Have 100000 Bushels This Year

claim to the largest truck farm

world as far as anyone has been able
to state to the contrary. 1t COM

operated by one man, Frank j. Sed-
lacek of st. Ansgar. SIX hundred
twenty acres lie in one farm, and on
it are 80 acres of onions, so acres
of cabbage 90 acres of soy beans
and $50 acres of potatoes, in adj
dition to corn and grain, which are
necessary in the rotation process.
In addition to the above, Mr.. Sed-
lacek has 80 acres of onions on
ground for which he paid $4,000
two years ago. The price was Tor

purchased there was not building
or fence on it. 1t is probably the
best onion producing land 30 be
found anywhere, and its owners says
it has paid him % per cent on his
investment each year he has owned
it, in spite of the general hard times.
This years crop is a beautiful
sight and promises to yield 1000
bushels per acre. So clean is the
land that the cost of intensive farm
ing has been reduced to a minimum.
This years crop, including cost of
planting, cost of seed, cost of ground
preparation, and cost of cultivation
to date, stands the owner S11,40 per
acre.

onions this year, and he says that
his other truck crops will pay the
entire expenses Of running the whole
farm for a year, leaving the 100000
bushels of onions as profit.
