team journeyed to the Freedhem

was a warm one. The score being 22 to 13 in favor of Agram.
The game was a straight one,
until about half through, then
the manager of the visiting team
told the umpire to favor their
home team. Then is where disputes began. But no one had the
misfortune to get excited enough
to get into trouble. The Freedhem boys would like to remodel
the umpire so he'd speak fair for
both sides, and they would like
to borrow them the law book for
about a half a day, so that they
could see their mistakes.

pigs from Deppa that had at

others that had become infected after the introduction of the
recently purchased pigs into
the Powell hog pens.

Dr. Maurice Francis Egan,
at'the American minister to Denmark, says that if intensive
farming, coupled with co-operation, could be carried on in this
country with half of the scientific application of the Daues,
the high cost of living would

abandoned farms of Massachusetts alone could be put under
the direction of competent

Lightning Rods.
Lightning rods put up right
are an almost certain protection
against lightning. For eight
years past in Iowa, insurance
companies have been keeping a
record of buildings struck by
lightning. Half of all the buildings insured were protected by
lightning rods. During the
eight years, a total of a little
over $4,000 worth ot damages
was done to the rodded buildings, while those having no
lightning rods were damaged to
the total amount of y34O,0OO.
Nearly eighty times as much
damage was done to buildings
having no lightning rods. Probably the loss on the rodded
buildings would have been much
less if all the rods had been
gut on properly.
