GREEN DECORAH, IOWA, AUG. 16, 1922 Stole Ford, Left Fine Car Thieves are getting particular in what kind of cars they steal nowa days evidently, somebody choosing an old Ford in Spencer last Friday night in preference to a good model tour- ing of a well known make. They broke into the garage at the F. W. Bernhagen home on South Grove street and stole a Ford belonging to C. F. Barie of Dawson, Minnesota, who was visiting there. Next to it was standing the big machine be longing to Mr. Bernhagen but they did not touch it nor robes or other articles in it. Even a new raincoat in the Ford was taken out and put in the other machine, the thieves wanting only the Ford.—Spencer News-Herald. Depleting The Finny Tribe Bud Bucknell, frame warden, De corah, with Mrs. Bucknell (who we imagine is like Mrs. Grover Cleve land, a better fisherwoman than Grover was a fisherman), were Lans ing callers Monday in company with W. W. Jewell, also of Decorah. Mr. Bucknell came after fish, but how much longer is our Mississippi supply going to last if Decorah, Ossian, West Union, Cedar Rapids and other good friends from neighboring towns the supply . , *-'-****• *’*’ I’ ’ fish out by the boat Jit-j’s. his '.privilege under lowa’s present game ’laws.

Bitten by Mad Fox Monticello, lowa—Three persons, Masters Donald York and Harold Zimmerman ami their uncle, Frank Lux, Jr., were severly bitten by a mad fox on the latter’s farm south of Hopkinton, and north of here. The hem) of the animal was sent to lowa City, where doctors at the lowa State University confirmed the be lief that the fox was afflicted with rabies. Serum has been ordered from New York City, and Mr. Lux ana his nephews w 11 go to lowa City to receive the asteur treatment. Donald York was the first one attacked by the fox. His uncle was attracted by his screams. Mr. Lux brought a gun and fired one shot at the animal, but did not kill him. The farm dog then closed in on the animal, but did not kill him. Be fore Lux finally succeeded in killing the fox, h s hand was badly lacerat ed by it. Young Zimmerman was also bitten. Gets Sumner Banks for S6O On July 26 a young man about 20 years of age appeared at a Sum ner bank with a ?29 check signed by Ed Clark of Hawkeve and drawn on the First State Bank. The man was dressed like ]a farmer, wore colored glasses and said he had work ed for Clark, but lived near Au burn and was on the way to Water loo. On inquiry he showed an inti mate knowledge of Hawkeye ami the Clark farm and he seemed genuine. He cashed the check. The same afternoon he presented a check at another Sumner bank. This was for $32, drawn by Forest Conkey on the National bank at West Union. Paul Sorg, cashier questioned the man closely and found he had an intimate knowledge of Auburn, Falling Spring and of peo ple in that secton. The stranger who gave his name as Ray Miller repeated in substance the same story as he told when he cashed the check at the other bank. In a few days the checks appear ed at the banks on which they were drawn and were discovered to be spurious. In the mean time the “far mer” has disappeared.— Hawkeye Beacon. o— Try our want column. f MAKES FORTUNE ASTRUCKFARMER Mitchell County Man Accumulate* 700 Acres of Valuable Land And Has Largest Truck Farm in State. CLEAN PROFIT ON BIG CROP OF ONIONS Will Have 100,000 Bushels This Year And Other Crops Pay Entire Cost of Production. Osage, lowa, —Mitchell county lays claim to the largest truck farm in the state, and possibly in the world as far as anyone has been able to state to the contrary. It com prises 700 acres and is owned and operated by one man, thank J. Sed lacek of St. Ansgar. S!x hundred twenty acres lie in one farm, and on it are 90 acres of onions, SO acres of cabbage <; 0 acres of soy beans and 150 acres of potatoes, in ad dition to corn and grain, which are necessary in the rotation process. In addition to the above, Mr. Sed lacek has 50 acres of onions on ground for which he paid $40,000 two years ago. The price was for the land alone, as at the time it was purchased there was not a building or fence on it. It is probably the best onion producing land to be found anywhere, and its owners says it has paid him 25 per cent on his investment each year he has owned it, in spite of the general hard times. This year’s crop is a beautiful sight and promises to yield 1,000 bushels per acre. So clean is the land that the cost of intensive farm ing has been reduced to a minimum. This year’s crop, including cost of planting, cost of seed, cost of ground preparation, and cost of cultivation to date, stands the owner sll.lO per acre. From his entire farm Selacek ex pects to market 100,000 bushels of onions this year, and he says that his other truck crops will pay the entire expenses of running the whole farm for a year, leaving the 100,000 of onions as profit. Mr. Sedlacek is <0 years old, and started as a hired man. He is worth easily a quarter of a million today, [wh# uu >ft st i* the pioduct of his own efforts. He was /a pioneew in truck farming in’ this part of the state, and worked out his success thru experimenting in z small way during his early twenties. His land was acquired a piece at a time as his success grew. He is a “second growth” Bohemian and began life with very limited advantages. The following items appeared in the Monticello Express recently. It is here republished as an antidote and corrective to the feelings often arous jed by the publication, with glaring headlines and artful designs to at tract attention and excite curiosity, of crime and consequent exploita tion of criminals. If these women had been engaged in intrigue, and there had been wrong doing and jealousy, then all petty noisome details and analysis of motive and sensation would have been spread throughout the country. Here they do deeds that glorify our common humanity and cheer us in trying to do noble and right deeds daily, and there are not likely to be headlines anywhere. But the account may well help us feel thankful ami think of human nature as “worthy of love ami care and min- istering.” “Mrs. Mary Pardue of lowa City has just been granted a material re ward, after eleven years, for risking her life in saving a 3 year old boy who fell in front of a street car in I Cedar Rapids, in 1911. The mother of the boy, Mrs. Anna Beranek, has presenter! the rescurer a new Dodge car. Mrs. Pardue was injured at the time, but had forgotten the incident until this week, when Mrs. Beranek, who is well to do, notified her that she was going to move to California and that she was turning the new car over to her benefactor of eleven years ago.” Some Freakish Poultry Tripoli Leader: Freak poultry is quite numerous about town, Henry Buhr having a duck with three legs and the extra member seems to be doing its full duty when the duck is swimming. It may not have much power in the extra “fin” but it does a lot of wiggling while the other legs do the actual walking. Then H. L. Haase has a chick with four legs, the extra two being just behind the regular “walkers” just for style. Detective Brandenburg’s attention wns attracted to a blind man on Cen tral avenue Friday afternoon who lie thought was watching him. —Arkansan? Thomas Cat. » i li' - nr&W ' -v." .. ■ .
