Combined Ages Aggregated
l.lS3 Years

George Seekatz returned recently
from Wisconsin, where he had at
tended the funeral of his mother.
Mr. Seekatz says that in looking
over the family bible he found that
at one time there was fifteen children
and a nephew who ate at the fam
lily table, these with the father and
mother forming a group of eighteen
souls. All of these children are liv-
ing except two, the father and mo-
Their having both passed away. In
figuring up the ages of the sons
and daughters at the time o. the mo-
theirs death, it was found that the
youngest was 20 years old and the
oldest 40; the combined ages of the
children aggregated 1883 years.

Krogsund Farm Sold for SI25 an Acr

Krogsund Farm Sold for 1925 an Acre
The Krogsund farm between De-
corah and Frankville was sold last
Thursday at $125 per acre, which is
considered a very cheap price. Our
land values in this county are be-
ginning to increase, as we have had
several buyers here recently, some
of whom have made tentative pur,
chases. These buyers have. come
largely from south of US, where
prices are very much higher. Real
estate dealers here state that there
is quite an increase and they look
for better prices now that the farm
credit bill is about to be passed,
which will no doubt stimulate values
of farm products.

good-naturedly.
And though we are joking and
laughing n good deal about Helen's
question. she Is only asking what
many people are asking-some in
their own minds and others IN let
tiers and articles published in tho
papers"
Now as you know. ! do follow
pretty closely, and I am willing TO
make the prophesy that one OF the
big events of this new year viii be
an attempt 20 settle the reparations
question and an effort on the part OF
all the nations 20 straighten out the
economic tangle into which the af-
fairs OF all the countries have gotten
since the end OF the World War.
Just before Christmas the news
dispatches reported two significant
moves. Senator Borah-who intro
duced the first resolution calling for
the Disarmament Conference-intro-
duced another resolution in the SEN
ate which would authorize President
Harding TO cali another international
conference. the object OF which,
would be 10 solve the economic puz-
zies that are facing all the nations
and At the same time consider fur
Their limitations or ornaments.
"On the same day came the news
that large group Of American bus
mess men have also been studying
the whole general problem with a
view 20 the nations reaching soma
KIND or a practical agreement.
Just what will be the outcome
would indeed be rather foolhardv TO
predict. But OF this I am certain.
Conditions in Europe have not inn
proved as rapidly as President Hard
Ing and many others had hoped they
would. In his last message to Con-
gress he touched on this very aues-
ton and reminded our nation OF the
responsibility OF the United States
toward Europe 20 the extent OF doing
everything in our power TO help
bring about the readjustment which
must come sooner or later.
Il believe that there will be a great
deal OF very important news in the
paper during the coming weeks. We
will watch this news and as fast as
events take concrete form we will
discuss them in our talks.

LIFE AND CHARACTER
READING
January a

The planet governing this birth
date is Saturn. The sign is Capri
corn. the sign OF the goat, and the
last sign OF the earth triplicity. The
birthstone is a white onyx and the
astral colors are gray, brown and
silver.
This is the most brilliant and de-
pressed sign in the Zodiac. When
Jolly. these people are very jolly.
when miserable, they are more mis-
cradle than all the others put to-
gether. and can usually give no
adequate reason for their wretched-
ness.
Every Capricorn person should
have a good business education, and
a practical experience in self main
even though they are pros
pective heirs or heiresses. These
people are very anxious to keep pace
with aristocracy.
