Mark TWain'S Place in Iowa
Converted

Keokuk, Iowa, Jan, /. R)--- A
rare piece of Americana a copy
OF the keokuk city directory OF
1855, part of which was hand set
by Mark Twain and In which he
listed himself as an antiquarian"
recently was found and subsequent
ly lost In a curious manner.
The Iowa state Insurance Com
pany acquired and incorporated in
its office building an adjoining
structure in humorist, conducted Il
printing establishment in keokuk In
the late sos. In making alterations
q copy of the directory was found
benath the floor Of tho room IN
which the youthful Samual Clemens
worked.
The find was made by a workman,
who, not knowing of the books
sentimental and bibliophilIc value,
examined It casually, and then toss
ed It aside in pile Of rubbish.
Later, news OF the discovery became
known. but by that time the book
had disappeared. The only other
known copy OF the directory Is In
the Keokuk Public Library.
Although the building that housed
the old Clemens printing shop vir-
tually has been rebuilt, the room in
which Mark Twain worked has been
left untouched. 1t has been set aside
as a museum and library for the dis
play OF his souvenirs, one OF the
most interesting being the old
printing case. Other objects include
an oil painting OF the writer at
twenty-one, later portrait, first
editions and autographed copies Of
Twain's books.

WONDERS OF owYHEE COUNTY

The Idaho Free Press of Wednes-

the Oregonian from Olympia tells
about the discovery of some kanga-
roo rats in Walla Walla county. Dr.
Couch of the United States biological
research office is quoted as saying
the animals are very rare and are
only found in New Mexico and Arr
iona. The doctor is not posted.
Kangaroo rats are plentiful in Owy-
hee county near Murphy. They have
the same form and color of the kang-
aroo, even to the marsupial pouch.
They move about on their hind feet
the same as the kangaroo and are
about fourth the size of an eastern
rat. They are totally unlike any
member of the rat or mouse family
and evidently belong to the Austria

COUNTRY GRADING
NOT PRACTICAL

Wool grading at country points
has been tried in various farm states
for a number of years. In practically
every case it has proven failure
and costly experiment.
Certain equipment is necessary,
such as wool baskets, grading tables,
scales, trucks and ample warehouse
space in which to place the various
commercial grades frequently num-
bering as many as twenty-one. These
facilities are seldom available at
country points. A complete and &C
curate record of weights of various
grades into which each clip is placed
must necessarily be kept in order
that the individual grower may re-
ceive proper account sales. This OPP
Grafton is exceedingly important and
requires proper forms and particular
line of accounting.
Perhaps the greatest loss to the
grower, from country grading is
caused by excessive amount of re-
jects usually made, particularly II
the work is done by inexperienced
graders or parties interested in the
purchase of wool so graded. The re-
jects, which include buck fleeces,
bury, seedy, colts, blacks, ETC., are
taken at a great discount.
In one instance as high as 30 per
cent rejects were made by so called
grader at country points. These so
called rejects were regarded at the
National Wool Exchange and re-
illustrates the iniquity of attempting
duced to about IL per cent. This
to grade or classify wool at country
points.
Even if it were possible to grade
accurately under such conditions
there would be insufficient volume
many grades to attract mill buy

BEE MEETING
AT TWIN FALLS

According to information received
by Mr.. F. E. Whitehead, Extension
Entomologist of the University Elk
tension Division, working in coop
Grafton with the State Department
Of Agriculture, there will be large
attendance at the first south Idaho
honey producers meeting which will
be held at Twin Falls Saturday,
May 18th.
Mr.. Whitehead has visited the local
organizations at Bull, jerome, Burnley
and Idaho Falls since the first an
nouncement of the meeting and he
states that all of these communities
are to be represented by large dele
cations. Word has not yet been re-
cived from the local organizations in
Boise and Payette valleys but it is ex-
pected that when the roll is called
the southwest will answer present.
Since the problems that will be
discussed are of interest to all south
ern Idaho bee men, it is imperative
that every section be represented.
Through this organization the prob
lens of the honey producers can best
be met and any community not rep
resented at the all day session will,
of course, not be able to present their
problems and receive the co-opera-
ton of the association.
There is much speculation who
will win the queen cell grating con-
test, and mystery exists as to the
whereabouts of Br. Beeche's bee. All
of these things will be determined
at Twin Falls next Saturday.

cHANCEs FOR or IN IDAHO

Herbert c. Harris, in the Mineral
Surrey, an outsider, writes impartial
ly on the chances for getting oil in
southeastern Idaho. Hesays:
"Will Idaho be the next oil pro-
ducing state? That is the question
that many residents of the south
eastern portion of the state are ask
ing at this time.
Drilling in the same carbonifer-
GUS rocks that has produced the
great Moab, Utah. well which is var
iously estimated at from three to
eight thousand barrels per day. The
well in Arbon valley has reached q
depth of 2274 feet. About two weeks
ago at public inspection of the well
by spectators, drillers and officers of
the company were surprised by the
greaest showing of oil and gas 30
far encountered. The control head
had been placed on the well and OPP
Grating the drilling tools through
this massive piece of steel, the bit
encountered a heavy flow of gas
and repeated bailings brought up
large quantities of petroleum. The
last bailings were so heavy with oil
that the officers taking advice from
the head driller closed the control
head and shut down drilling until
string of heavy casing could be tran
sported to the we'll The control head
has been opened but once since to
find if the flow of gas remains con-
slant In the opinion of the head
driller the flow has increased.
Taking this evidence into consid-
Grafton is the reason that people
have become suddenly serious about
the possibilities of oil and gas in this
part of Idaho. The operating com
pany has decided to brandenhead the
last string of casing and attach the
control head to both strings. AS the
head is tested to $500 pounds to
the square inch there will be no
danger of the same trouble encount-
cred at Moab occurring here.
If oil is discovered in commercial
quantities in Arbon valley gravity
pipe line constructed down a wide
valley, of about 25 miles, will deliy-
er it at small cost to the Oregon
Short Line railroad. The Importance
of such a discovery to Southern Idaho
cannot be over estimated.-Burley

RATTLESNAKES PRESENT
EXTREMELY SLIGHT PERIL

Two articles in the news point the
right and wrong attitude toward rat
tlesnake danger. One, from anoth-
er state, tells of the death of A.
year-old boy from, the bites of rat
tlesnake which attacked the child
while at play on his fathers noun
tain ranch"
RattIesnakes do not attack" any
one. They are not bold, irritable
demons like the Indian cobra. The
rattlesnake tactics are always based
on escape. When approached, he
tries to get away. If too closely
pressed, he coils and stands ready to
defend himself But he never runs
after anyone.
AS a practical matter, the rattle
snake is not very dangerous to any
person old enough to let him alone.
He is an extremely low snake; he
usually. though not invariably, gives
warning by rattling-a sound which
will never be mistaken for anything
else. though other sounds may be
fistaken for it-he can't bite through
a good leather boot; he is not so
terribly numerous, and he is filled
with an earnest desire to escape.
And when seen he is not easily mis-
taken for any other snake.
The other item bears this out. 1t
is the story of a man who slipped
and fell on his back squarely on the
back of a rattlesnake. He was badly
scared but not bitten.
The best proof that the rattle
snake danger is slight is found in
the extreme rarity of cases where
human beings have been bitten.
Most of these have been the cases OF
children. The RATHER is dangerous
to unattended children not old

TAKE AGRICULTURE"
SAYS FARM ECONOMIST

1.-The farm boy who makes de-
cision on his future occupation on
the basis of the past six years of
farming is making a mistake. In
my opinion it will pay the boy who
wishes to farm and has little or no
money to start with, to take a full
four-year course in agriculture.
This message was brought to
South Dakota farm boys recently by
DR.. C. F. Warren, famous agricul-
tural economist of Cornell univer-
sity. Doctor Warren gave a series
of talks at the agricultural extension
conference at the South Dakota State
college.
