The Stock Disease. With every year there is a consid erable loss of stock by poisoning by what is known as corn stalk disease. This fall there has been a good deal of loss from this cause. Trey Mur-doc-k reports the loss or five head of cattle, while Harry M. Knabe alsc reports nine head of his cattle have been killed by this disease. Many others have also suffered loss from this same cause. It would seem that in some way some of these severe Iobscs could be prevented. Water Supply Short. The water supply at the home of Carl Wessell. the farm belonging to Henry Wessell, is short and during the time which intervenes between now and the time that a well can be sunk, Mr. Henry Wessell is supply ing the need by having water hauled from Nehawka to the farm. This does not add much to the pleasure of farm ing when the farmer has to go to town and buy water and haul the same to the farm for the care of the Next Saturday This will be a Free Dance, with music by Freddie Schutz Orches tra.

The flowers you wear need not fade, if you will make use of a new idea for preserving them. Carrying a con tainer of water with you to keep them fresh seems a bit of a hazard, if not foolhardiness, but it can be done, and it will keep the flowers perfectedly. Sounds impractical? Perhaps! But very easily accomplished with the tiny glass tubes and rubber balloons BOUTONNIERE kCEPS TRE.SW IN MINIATURE FLOWER HOLDER c REVERSE SIDE OF LAPEL SHOWING HOLDER CONTAINING WATER. which furnish each flower a ready and usable supply of water. In the case of a boutonuiere, the glass tube is fastened over them, and is hid den from view behind the lapel. A rose, a carnation or a gardenia will appear as fresh at five o'clock as it did when you ventured forth in the morning. In fact, it will last a day and an evening. Where more flowers are used, such as in a corsage or garland, the bal loons are more practical, for they take less space and can be complete ly hidden with ease. Most flowers will last an evening of reasonable length, and need not be bolstered with the water containers, but some of more fragile nature, and those which must be preserved for greater lengths, should be provided with one or the other of these neat little inventions. Every one should have one of the glass tubes, for it can be used and re used to hold a boutonniere flower, making it no expense whatever. The balloons can better be furnished and arranged by the florist, as he will be able to hide their presence and pre vent a possibility of leakage. . . : APPOINT FARil INSPECTORS ?

The tax and property committee re ported that owing to weather condi tions the walk in front of the Peter sen building had not been repaired and also that the Wallengren estate would have their part fixed when the city did. Councilman Webb reported that the Burlington had written a letter pro testing the levy made by the city for library purposes, 1.4-10 mills, claim ing this in excess of the statutory limitations.

Councilman Tippens touched on the matter of the road fund which in re cent years has been reduced to lower figures and which is now below the receipts of fund pving to necessary work ordered by the council. Mr. Tippens stated that the fund had for merly allowed $4,000 a year and now was allowed 52,000 for street work, under the budget adopted by the city.

' The committee report recommend ed that the contract for the insurance be let to the firm of Duxbury & Davis, agents of the Massachusetts Bonding!
