with cramps- while swimming in
Crystal lalce, Paul Beach, the 14-yeai-old
son of W. W. Beach, an architect,
407 Twenty-sixth street, was drown
ed before assistance could reach him.
He was swimming in the lake with
Paul Darling, 1010 Jones street. Per
sons on the shore heard him call for
help and started out to rescue him.
He went down and never came up
again. He was a good swimme.
The search for the body was started
by divers from Saunders beach. Aa
this did not prove effective, the po
lice were called, and they continued
the search by using grappling hooto.
The drowning occurred at 11 o'clock
yesterday morning. At 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon the boy's body
was recovered from a moss bed near
ly eight feet in depth and under
fourteen feet of water. Councilman

Mann and Policemen Albert Lukc,
Brown, Green and N. V. Luke hauled
in tons of moss before the body was
recovered with grappling hooks. Cor
oner Dickinson took chorgo of the
body. The- boy was an expert swim
mer, but the extremely cold temper
ature of the water at the point where
he went down caused cramps. The
Boy Scout camp, which the lad was
attending, came to a sudden end
following the drowning. The camp
was established early yesterday morn
ing, and but a lew ot the hoys and
none of the leaders were there whe.i
the Beach and Darling boys went in
swimming. Scout loaders struck
camp late yesterday' afternoon and
the scouts returned to the city!"!
Paul was the only son of Mr. and
Mrs. -Beach. Ho was a Boy Scout,
and one of the most energetic in the
organization. He was a first class
scout, having attained that rank in
one year. According to those, con
nected with the Boy Scout work,
Paul was one of the most enthusias
tic in carrying on the war work cam
paign of the Boy Scouts. Paul had
been working as office boy for the
Sioux City Gas and Electric compa
ny during the summer months.
Home Demonstration Notes
Miss Florence Atwood
Home Demonstration Agent
It seems late in the season to men
tion removing the- males from your
poultry flock so as lo produco infer
tile eggs. However, it has been
discovered that some havq neglected
to do this. This oversight is what
has caused the loss of $15,000,000 or
more each year, directly due to fci
tilo eggs.
The fertile eggs, when exposed to
high summer tcmperatuic-3, will un
dergo chick development, 'just as
they would when placed in an incu
bator or under a hen.
Infertile egg3 will not undergo
chick development and you will get
just as many ef-.ti as though -i male
was in your flock.
If you continue to keep the males
in your flock, don't complain of your
merchant when some of your' eggs
are returned. The. merchant cannot
afford to buy these eggs becuusq-they
would bo. a total loss to them. Pro
duce infertile eggs iuid create. a de
mand for thu sale of your eggs.
It is impossible to lay down any
set rules as to just which cockerels
to caponize, but it is safe to say
that it is more profitable, in most
cases, to sell the early hatched cock
erels as broilers. Early hatcned ca
pons are often ready for inarkot be
fore the demand and It'gh price for
capons is high. The capon is in
greatest demand at highest prices
between Christmas and haster. The
exact time varies with dffrorcnt mar
kets. The later hatched cockerels, which
are not ready for market ns broilers
before the price of broilers drop,
may bo caponized and earned over
until winter and marketed as capons.
Thus there seems to bo a greater ad
vantage in making capons or Into
hatched cockerels tha.ii of the early
ones.
f Young Hens l.ny jJvs!
It seldom pays to keep hens for
laying after they aro moro than two
and a half years old, say University
extension poultrymen. This muy
not be true of Leghorns, but is gene.
ally so of most other brecd.q. lions
loldor than this may return feomo
profit, but younger hens will return
greater profit. In this day of high
feed prices, flocks must bo culled of
tho non-layers and poor loyers und
only those kept which produco tho
most profit.

tion has always moved westward.
Startintr with Egypt. It tarried for a
short time in Greece, moved to Romo
and has now arrived within tho doors
of our country. Whether it will

which lies in our hands. Tho only

as an appendix, and as non-essential,
But this is a mistake. Our rcligloud

ble, for our country's welfure.
Congressman R. E. Evans made an
interesting address on "Tho League
of Nations," and explained many
points in tho league pact that die
now being contested before congress,
and in which many of his hearors
were in tho dark, so to speak.
In his address on tho subject: "The
League of Nations," Mr. Evans stat
ed that he Is emphatically opposed
to tho league of nations as it now
stands and that tho only features
which would redeem It as practical
aro tho reservations suggested by
Hughes and Taft, viz., tho right for
tho United States to declare when
it hus fulfilled its obligations, a right
which it does not now possess under
tho present reading of tho treaty,
and tho right to withdraw absolute
ly from the international disagree
ment now under observation.
Mr. Evans is more than strenuous
ly opposed to tho approaching cen
tralization of power, which he claims
tho presont system and tho program
outlined under tho league of nations
pact is leading to. It is a recog
nized fact, he stated, that in the
time of war or national danger, the
only safo and sano method of func
tioning is that of an absoluto mon
archy. For that reason, during tho
period of national peril, wo delegat
ed to our president those powers
which would enable him to carry out
his program unhampered. But tho
trouble with tho delegation of tho
groat power to any executive is that
when tho period of stress ha9 paused
ho resents the curtailment of that
power.
l "France, England, Italy and Japan,
although tied to us by certain polit
ical motives, wuold never hesitate,
said Mr. Evans, "to throttle us by
the stipulations contained in articlo
10 of the league of nations pact, :f
tho opportunity arrived. Articlo 10
states that after such time as n na
tion has declared tho strength of
her standing army, it requires the
sanction of tho council, which in
cludes the above mentioned coun
tries, to raiso that strength to larger
numbers, and that tho standing army
shall be of only such strength as to
cnablo any country to prQvido for
tho caro of her interests and to pro
tect herself from any foreign inter
ference. I "Now, in tho case of Mexico, should
wo find it necessary to send troops
into that place, it would require a
force greatly in excess of tho 300,000
men allowed tho country by congress
as our standing army to bo of any
value. Then it would bo necessary,
according to tho agreement, to ask
.tho permission of France, England,
I Italy and Jopan before wo were jus
tified in taking any such steps. On
ly s'm years ago, in our struggle to
mi.n . i a union, without tho scltlsh
inu . of Russia in our behalf, En
gland would havo intervened in tho
jhopo of spoiling our country. At
.the present time, our troops in Franco
;are becoming disillusioned as to tho
altruistic motives of Franco; in Italy
our troops aro hissed and tho Ameri
can is unpopular; our soldiers have
been entangled in riots with tho Jap
nneso civilians and soldiers, These
nations havo shown thoir true feel
ings time and time again. Why
should wo lay ourselves liablo to any
attack of a political nature they muy
care to imposo on us."
Articlo 8 of the league of nation.,
pact declares that in order to grant
u requet or concession not only n
majority of tho council is required,
but it must bo unanimous. This, de
clares Mr. Evans in regard to our re
lations with Mexico, would bo pre
posterous. A ball gamo between the Homor
and Rosalie teams was tho prlnc -pal
feature of tho nftornoon sports,

M. E. Church Xotes
Rev. S. A. Dralso, Pastor
Last Saturday and Sunday was the
occasion of tho fourth quurtoriy con
ference meotlng. Tho Rev. h. M.
Furman, district superintendent, of
Norfolk district, was on tho chnrgo
for tho purposo of looking ovor tho
work of tho past year and helping to
plan for next year's work. The first
service was held Saturday evening
at Homer. An enthusiastic crowd
was out and a splendid conference
was had. Nearly ovory member of
the official board was present. All
reports woro on hand and showed
everything up to dote. They will
havo a good report to tho annual
conference this year. Tho church
at Homer is quite anxious to reach
tho ability to havo a resident pastor.
It is tho only town in tho county
that has no resident preacher of any
kind.
Tho Sunday inornlncr servico was
very helpful. Rev. Furman was at
his best and delivered a great ser
mon. His text was Hob. 11-13. The
theme Two strains of human think-
inir and action Immediacy and Eter
nity. Ho showed that the unrest
and strife of tho present is caused
by the desiro and not tho need of
tho present. Folks just want thinfeu
and in many cases just because some
ono elso has it. And in their 'desire
chey forget that anyone elso -has any
rights in tho same world. The great
majority are llvintr in the immediate
desire, and are only planning for tho
day and hour in which they live.
Only when men ronlizo that they are
uving lor eternity will tney uecome
thoughtful and careful of their in
fluence and example and conduct
among thoir followmen.
It was a great sermon, and it was
a disappointment that tho church
was not filled with hearers. The
folks who stayed away from church
lost Sunday missed n helpful service.
They havo missed thorn at other
times also. '
Next Sunday will bo communion
day.
