THEIR PAVING FUND CUT DOWN
Blackhawk, With Work Started, Gets
Some Sad News.

Over in Blackhawk county they are
feeling somewhat up against it on
their Grant highway paving project.
Here is what the Waterloo Times
Tribune says about it.
&C. R. Jones, auditor of the Iowa
highway commission, threw a damp
blanket over the enthusiasm of the
Biackhawk county supervisors when
he announced that but $4,000 is now
available for the Grant highway paw
ing project with 100000 available in
1923. Work has already been started
on the highway hard surfacing pro-
Ject and the supervisors were labor
ing under the impression that a total
of $343,400 was available as federal
aid. Letters asking for an explain
alton will be sent to the secretary
of agriculture.
Last spring George Camper, of
Omaha, supervisor of road work in
four states, issued a statement that
unless BIackhawk county got busy
and did some hard surfacing they
would lose $343, 400 federal aid which
had accumulated because the county
had not been utilizing the $21 900 al
lotted annually from the portion of
the federal appropriation received by
Iowa.
"A telegram to the office of the sec,
rotary of agriculture confirmed Mr..
Campen's statement and the board of
supervisors proceeded TO act on the
supposition that such an amount was
available for such use as they should
see mt and consequently plans were
for paving of Grant high
way"

Has 7 Acres of Asparagus

J. A. Brown of Waterloo has a Z
acre patch of asparagus. In the
growing season shipments are made
daily to Cedar Rapids and almost
daily to Duluth, Mimi, in addition to
supplying the home market. In the
last two years the productivity Of the
roots has been increased 100 per cent
by intensive cultivation methods. In
the first ten days of cutting the pro-
duct averaged nearly 1000 pounds, or
approximately 200 dozen punches,
daily. Six men and three women are
employed TO take care Of the cutting
and packing. The cutting season lasts
forty days. The first cutting was on
May l. DIR. c. B. Fountain, of Des
Moines has a seventy acre field of as
paragus from which he receives a
very creditabIe income every year.

AMERICA WORLD IN ITSELF
EngIishman Writes Enviously of Our

Here in England we settle down in
a town and only a violent exersion of
will power can extricate us. In the
United States man may try 20 diff
ferent towns and 20 different states

Raymond Radcliffe writes in the New

Here we have practically no choice

the other side you can get the bitter
cold of North Dakota or the almost
tropical heat Of Florida. You can be
blown to pieces on the prairies or lie

over the Pacific. You can spin cot

What's In Your Head?

At sixty-five years of age only one
person out of hundred is rich, four
are we'll to do, and five self sup
porting, in this country, says the
Chicago Journal of Commerce. At
sixty five man has had full forty
years mastering a trade or becoming
educated for a profession, in which
to provide surplus for old age; but
only four in hundred do it, and for
every five able to earn living at 65,
we have 80 dependent on somebody
else for food and clothing. So we
are told by university president.
He attributes this lack of thrift ia
careless thinking and lack of def
mite purpose, which is a conclusion
arrived at by thinking. One man
can think all day in rambling
lazy, easy-going way, and all his
thoughts will not be worth a penny
to him or to anybody else. Another
man can do an hours close thinking
and arrive at conclusions worth mon.

vagrant thought devoted to pleasure

Base Ball Thousand Years Old

Baseball in one shape or another
has been played for thousands of
years, dating back to the time of the
Greeks. In our colonial days it was
called town ball. In 1910 New York
man named Doubleday figured out a
diamond with three bases besides the
home plate. He did not know what
ne had started. Half a dozen wears
later a baseball club was organized
in New York called the "Knicker-
booker" club, and chey played a club
from Hoboken and won 81 to 1. Then
the rule was Che club that first made
twenty-one runs won the game. II
took four innings to finish the game.
After that the changes came fast ull-
til today it lis the great national
sport of the country that engrosses
the attention of all of the boys and
most of the men.

Asleep Three Weeks

Ames, Iowa,-Verne Hand, %, a
farmer living one mile north and a
half mile west Of Dayton's park, is
in serious condition suffering from
sleeping sickness, according to ply
sicians.
Hands has been i'll for nearly three
weeks, but it was not until Saturday
night that it was learned that he had
the disease. Several doctors of Ames
and psychologists from the college
diagnosed the case.
The condition of the man did not
seem serious until Saturday evening
when he went to sleep. From re-
ports received later he was still
asleep and in a very serious condi-
tion.

COLD AIR WELL
Curisity on a Farm Near TaOpi,
Mimi, Well Emits Continuous
Stream Cold Air.

A well which emits a continuous
stream of air so cold that it will
freeze ones hand or water in bowl
even on the warmest days, is a cur
iosity on the farm of w. w. Johnson,
farmer living across the line from
here in Minnesota, near Taopi.
Biologists have been called upon to
explain the remarkable phenomenon.
Recently, while Jed Baldwin, Of
Chester, a well digger reached a lev
ell slightly below 10 feet with his drill
rush Of wind whistled up along
the casing and lifted the 900 pound
drill far into the air. Mr.. Johnson,
who formerly lived at Allison, was
notified Of the peculiar occurrence
and came at once to inspect the well.
He summoned NJ. S. Muson, general
merchant at Taopi who is something
of geologist. Both were unable to
solve the mystery Of the wind.
Mr.. Johnson has work on the well
stopped until he learns what he
may expect if it goes further into
the earth. There is no gas in the
wind emitted from the well for it
extinguishes a flame placed over it.
The air seems dry and violating a
law of physics, it seems heavier than
the warm air into which it flows.
Auto castings have been filled by this
free air from subterranean sources
and paper sacks break under the
pressure.
There are several whistling wells
in this vicinity but none has been
discovered yet which matches this
one in the fact tina. it is freezing
cold. Mr.. Johnson says he would
like to harness the we'll in some
manner and use it for refrigerator
purposes. He is wondering if by
drilling deeper the pressure may be
increased. The we'll will be made the
subject of special study by the gov
eminent geological department, it is
hoped.-Charles City Press.

Selecting a Model

The Irish Free State has selected
an excellent model. A delegation has
been sent to Switzerland to study
the governmental system of that re-
public. No wiser step could have
been taken. Members of this party
will learn how other men solved
the same problems now perplexing
Mr.. Griffith, Mr.. Collins and the
rest.
The Free State government must
preserve counterpoise among
number of conflicting interests. 1t
must devise system under which
people of different races and different
religions can live and prosper. The
state of Switzerland has a still more
difficult task. 1t must keep the deli
cate balance between three nationali-
ties, speaking three different tongues
and aligned sharply in different
churches. Some of the cantons are
German, others French and still 9TH
ers Italian. These people, outside
the Alpine country, have a perpetual
tendency to be at each others Threats,
yet inside the Swiss republic there
seldom is the slightest trace of fric-
ton. Even the world war, with all
the bitterness which it stirred every
where, failed 10 cause any disturb
ance. Mueh-of -the,- credit fortl.;-
must go to the governmental sys-
tenn.
Ireland will do well if she copies
the Swiss plan in almost every par
ticular. Switzerland probably is the
most prosperous and peaceful nation
in Europe. Yet the history of its peo-
pie shows that they are brave and
slillful fighters upon occasion. They
simply have avoided the cause for
fights. Ireland can do the same with

WANT FARM-BRED.
RURAL TEACHERS.
Need of Consolidated Schools is
"Rural-Minded Teachers" Ma
jority of Teachers are City
Bred. Ames Gathers
Figures.
MAJORITY OF PUPILS
WEANED FROM FARMS
Schools Fail to Keep Attractions of
Rural Life to Forefront in Their
Daily Contact With
Pupils.

Ames, Iowa-Do the consolidated
schools, which are attended by Iowa S
farm boys and girls, tend to hold
Iowa's young people on the farm or
to send them 10 the cities?
This is the question that many
practical educators are raising, fol.
lowing the analysis of statistics re.
Gently secured.
A survey Of the consolidated
schools of the state to determine the
proportion of school children who are
ambitious to make their permanent
homes on the farm and those who
want some time to live in cities,
showed that so per cent of these
country bred children are dissatisfied
with rural life and plan to make their
homes in the cities.
One key to this situation, in the
opinion of W. H. Lancelot, acting
head of the department of vocational
education at Iowa State College, is
the fact that only small percentage
of the teachers, even in the consoli-
dated schools, are what he calls
rural minded. By rural minded
teachers Mr.. Lancelot means men
and women who are farm bred
and reared and who have been edu-
Gated with a view to associating
themselves with some phase of the
farm industry or, more definitely,
with teaching in rural schools.
"Altho the consolidated school,"
says Mr.. Lancelot, ais designed pri-
marily for the benefit of rural child
ren-children who should, in the ma
ture of things. look to the farm for
their future occupation-the teachers
in these schools are largely city bred,
and educated in colleges of liberal
arts or normal school where the
emphasis is inevitably laid upon an
outlook toward the city. Unfamiliar
with farm conditions, with the ro-
nance of farm life, with the challenge
it offers to young men and women
for a useful and soccez-fpl life. they
unc0nscIously magnify the attrac-
tiveness of the city and minimize
agricultural as profession worthy
of the highest ambition.
This influence, which naturally at
tracts the most ambitious and pro
gressive of Iowa's rural young people
can be successfully combated, Mr.
Lancelot believes by providing teach,
ers who are themselves rural minded
The survey shows, for example, the
case Of one consolidated school, where
such teacher is in charge. In thi.
school IS per cent of the pupils in,
Dictated that they wished to make
their homes on the farm. This il
in marked contract with the STATE
average of 20 per cent.
The Importance that this question
holds in the minds of educators O
the state is shown by the fact tina
10 per cent of the members of boards
of directors of Iowa CONSOLIDATED
schools, have gone on record recent
ly as favoring the employment of ;
rural-minded teachers as a condition
on which a consolidated school would
get financial aid from the state.
