Iowa's Butter Record.
More butter was produced in low
during the year ending Nov. 1, 1911
than ever before In the history of th
state, according to figures in thi
twenty filth annual report of the stati
dairy commissioner, filed with
rnor Carroll by W. B. Barney, sta.t
fci.Iry and food commissioner.
The report registers an Increase Ir
the total production of the state ol
2,783,684 pounds, which dairymen be
lleve Is due to the campaign for bettei
dairy products, which has been waged
by the state In recent years.
Fayette county led all other Iowa
counties In total butter product'pn
during the year with 3,921,515 pounds
to its credit.
The average price of butter, the re
jort shows, was 26.13 cents, which Is
4 cents less per pound than last
year's average. Mr. Barney explains
this slump in price as being due to
the large quantity of butter of poo?
quality held In storage which was
thrown upon the market last year.

BOUND TO HAVE THAT PARTY
Little Thing Like Dizzy Walk In Air
Couldn't Fease Ardent Bridge
Devotees.
Nothing short of devotion to bridge
could have nerved a party of women
to do what this party of women did.
Half an hour before the time set for
the playing to begin In the tenth-floor
apartment something went wrong with
the dynamos, and all elevators stopped
running for, anyhow, a day and a half.
When the bridge hostess learned that
she nearly fainted.
"Nine flights of stairs to climb," she
said, "and every woman I have Invited
Is fat. They'll never get here."
She Implored everybody about the
house to suggest some way out of the
trouble. Nobody could, except to
walk; there was uj alternative. But
the hostess did not give up so easily.
She looked across at the neighboring
apartment house, whose tenth-floor
windows faced her windows. An
abyss fifteen feet wide yawned be
tween the two buildings, but to a wo
man In her predicament fifteen feet
dwindled to fifteen Inches.
"There Is a way," she said. "How
about those long planks on the roof?
Lay them across to the opposite roof,
make a handrail of ropes, and my
guests can go up In the elevator to
the roof of that house, cross the
bridge, and walk down one flight to
my apartment."
Fmployes of both houses gladly as
sumed the role of bridge builder, a
hallboy was stationed In the lobby to
explain matters to arriving guests, and
a few minutes later a procession of
scared but determined women gasped
and clutched on their aerial way.

POOR FIDO WAS KICKED OUT
Mistress Didn't Grieve Over His
nest After Learning He Was
Out of Fashion.
Ill-
The late Mrs. Sue Landon Vaughan,
who originated Memorial day, had al
ways a great love for humanity and a
great contempt for such things as ob
structed the free play of humanltar
lanism. "Mrs. Vaughan," said a Washington
veteran, "regarded lap dogs as ob
structions to humanltarlanlsm, and
she had no belief in the sincerity of
the average society woman b affection
for her lap dog. There's a lap-dog
story she often used to tell.
"A man so the story runs came
down to breakfast one morning to
find his wife in tears.
" 'Oh,' she sobbed, 'what shall I do?
Poor little Fido Is 111, and the dog doc
tor says his case Is serious. Oh, what
will become of me If anything hap
pens to my precious little Pomeranian
Fldo!'
"The man comforted his wife as
well as he could, and that evening he
came home early In order to admin
ister more comfort to her.
"To his amazement, however, ho
found her, on his return, seated at the
piano, singing one of the gayest airs
from 'The Count of Luxembourg.'
"'Why,' he stammered, 'why, when
I left home this morning Fldo was
ill and you were heartbroken, while
tow now
"Strumming- gayly, she glanced at
him over her shoulder.
"'You Fee, dear,' she said, 'Mrs.
Van Astorbllt cal'ed this afternoon,
and she told me that Pomeranians are
not fashionable any longer. Every
thing Is Pekinese spaniels now. So I
dried my eyes and kicked Fldo out."'
ALMOST LIKE A COMPLIMENT
Woman of 33 Couldn't Feel Angry at
Youth Who Addressed Her
as "Klddo."
Pumps are not the easiest things to
keep on one's feet. A woman who
was harrying on her way to work
found out thai' foot cau fall right out
of a pump if the edge of a barrel stave
Is trod upon at the proper angle. She
righted herself with a scuff and a
shuffle and managed to get tho shoe
on again without having to relinquish
all her native dignity. As she was
going through the performance, how
ever, which didn't take more than a
second all told, one of those easy
mannered, sociable young striplings
who abound in wholesale houses and
are usually to be found on the side
walks In the capacity of shipping i
clerks or stencllers, brushed by with
a loud, "Hey, there, Klddo, dontcher
fall!"
The girl friend who was with the
pump woman looked Indignant. "The
Idea!" she cried. "Did you hear that
insolent puppy call out to you as we
passed? Why are you laughing? It
was most Insulting, my dear. If 1
were only a man, I'd "
"Tut, tut, Mabel, dear. I don't mind
a bit. I suppose I ought to resent It,
but but you noticed he called me
'Klddo'?"
"Yes, that was the horrid part so
vulgarly Impudent."
The woman smiled. "Well, you see,
dear, I Just couldn't feel mad at that
chap. It It seemed sort of a a
compliment! I'll be thirty-three my
next birthday!"
Came Back for His Money.
Sixteen years ago a worker at
Messrs. Singers' machine works at
Kilbowie, Dumbartonshire, left the
firm's employment omitting to take
with him 14s. 7d., wages due. He
spent four years in England, and after
wards Joined the army, serving 12
years, mostly abroad. A few days ago

Agents of the department of agri-
culture, It was announced, have been ,
for the last two months experimenting
with devices to trap English sparrows.
From Maine to California an agent
of the department has traveled during
those months. Many machines have
been tried out, but as yet one has not
been perfected which officials say will
do the work successfully.
Pr. Charles J. Fisher, who has the
work In hand, said that the English
sparrows are a nuisance and that they
harm bearable fruit trees In the
spring.
"Take young apple and peach trees,
for Instance," Dr. Fisher said. "The
sparrows eat Into the buds and de
stroy the cores. It then becomes Im
possible for them to bear fruit.
"We are doing no experimenting In
Washington at this time. In several
parts of the country, however, we
have agents at work with devices.
From what I have heard these ma
chines have not as yet been per
fected."
CACTI FOR TELEPHONE POLES
Scheme for a Government Line In
Arizona Desert Which Is Be
lieved to Be Feasible.
Sahuara for telephone and tele
graph poles Is the latest idea and one
that is to be tried out. It sounds
plausible and It Is believed that It
will be more economical than the old
style of poles. Its test is to come
from Arizona.
The government Is to build a tele
phone system for the forestry serv
ice of the Coronado forest reserve.
The first of these lines to be built
out of Tucson Is to be used into the
Catalinas, and it Is there that the
Sahuara experiment is to be tried.
The giant cacti will not be sawed
off and set up nor will they be trans
planted, but the growing plant will be
used as a pole where it Is found prac
tical. Where they can be found in
what approaches alignment, so that
the line will not have to zigzag too
much, the sahuara up In the canons
through which the line will pass are
to be utilized for the purpose of at
taching brackets to which the wires
will be fastened. And so the secret Is
out
Along the proposed line It la dim
cult to set poles, owing to the rocky
nature of the country traversed. Not
only Is this the case, but It Is diffi
cult to get the poles up there In the
hills to set, while the sahuaras are
right there In many Instances, and
while not at a uniform distance this
8 not
considered Important An
other saving will be that while the
made to order poles will not oust the
ready made ones, these will be of
, long life and will not demand replen
I Ishlng and replacing from time to
time.
Quail Hatches Chicken.
An Incident of some Interest Is re
ported from the Woodland neighbor
hood. Last week on the farm of W.
L. Riley of that vicinity a quail's nest
was found In which a hen had laid an
egg. With this was found the usual
number of quail eggs.
The last of the week the hen egg
hatched and the quail seemed to lose
all Interest In her own eggs and turn
ed her attention to the chick, leaving
her nest and disappearing with It.
Some of the quail eggs were broken
and showed that they would have
been hatched In another week. Mor
ganflcld Post.
Turkey Leads In Good Work,
From benighted Turkey conies news
through the state department of an
Invention calculated to make the dis
honest milkmen of all the world quake
In their boots. The Invention consists
of a can fitted with valves which per
mit a liquid to be poured out but not
In. There Is an opening, of course, by
which the can Is filled, but as soon as
this Is done and scientific Inspectors
have tested the contents and pro
nounced them unadulterated and un
watered milk, the opening Is officially
sealed. After that the milk Is ready
to be sent to the consumer.
8leep the Fountain of Youth.
Any number of women who are cut
ting ruthlessly Into their allowance
to swell the cash drawer of the beauty
parlors could solve the riddle of ap
pearing fresh and animated If they
would but make a practice of taking
the proper amount of sleep.
The value of sleep as a restorative
and as a fountain of youth Is unbe
lievable until one has bathed regular
ly therein. It almost seems magic In
Its effect and many a woman who has
discovered the socret Is the envy and
admiration of her beauty parlor
friends.
Eight hours for work, eight hours for
sleep and eight for play Is the old rule.
Up to now no one has Improved on
this proportion. If you care more for
the preservation of your youth and
attractiveness than of your pleasure
take not less than the allotted eight
ours of sleep from the 24.
Cld Festival Retained.
With an unbroken record dating
back to 1682, the quaint and pictur
esque rush-bearing festival was ob
served at St. Oswald's church, Oras
mere, Westmoreland, England, recent
ly. The ceremony Is a survival of the
days when rushes were employed to
protect worshipers from damp Doors
while kneeling. Each year the In
habitants conveyed to the church a
new supply of rushes. Nowadays the
vicar of the parish received a kind of
memorial gift of rushes and a special
service marks the occasion.
