The highest priced farm land ever sold in Decatur county was recorded at the county recorder's office a few days ago, as will be seen by the list of real estate transfers published in this issue. A farm of 103 acres Eden township, was sold by C. John soil to L. W. Montgomery for $70, 500, at least that is the consideration stated in the deed, but we believe it was something like $7,500. The deed was executed in December, 1913, and did not have to have any govern ment revenue stamps on it, as deeds executed prior to December, 1914, are exempt from the war tax, regard less of when they are filed for record. 1 4 Servant ""W^f Mis.

Mrs. Oscar Carry Injured. Mrs. O. Curry, of Eagleville, met with a painful accident Sunday. She, with her husband and a number of friends, were having a picnic in the woods between Davis City and-Leon, and were cooking over an open fire. Coffee was being made in a bucket, and in some way the lid was closed tight, preventing the escape of the steam. Upon reaching the .boiling point it exploded, and Mrs. Curry, who was kneeling before the fire at tending to some other viands, receiv ed most of the contents upon her arms and chest, scalding her severe ly. She was taken to Davis City, where the burns were dressed, and then on home to Eagleville. While it is a painful injury it is thought that nothing serious will result, and her many friends in Lamoni are thank' ful that it was no worse.—Lamoni Chronicle. School Report.
