The model rural township has been discovered by a rural survey iu Iowa —Orange township, in th’e northern part of the state. It has not a village in it, and the residents are almost whol. 1y American born, though many are of German descent. Theye are now eighty- seven owuner-operators of farms and fifty-seven tenants, but half of these tenants are related to the owners of their lands, Leing, for the most part. either sous or sons-in-law, and nearly four-fifths expressed confidence in some day becoming full landowners. Thirty. one of the owners belong, on the aver- age, to two and one-third farmers’ or- ganizations and thirty-two of the chil- dren of the community are in high school. Practically all the homes have telephones; more than half are heated by furnac more than half have vac- uum cleaner 1ore than half have au- tomobiles; more than half have pianos, and very e half, or fi‘ty-seven out of 142 homes, have running water. in- doors. The owners of land have an average of a little more than a hun- dred books each and the tenants near- Iy a hundred. Not a 1gle home was without n paper or m. zine, and half of them had four or tive apiece. Sixty-three owners' families contribut- ed an average of over $30 each to churcl support. How many city blocks ! could show such figures? The social conditions, finally, are excellent, for picnics and commuaity gatherings nre frequent. The spirit of the township may be gauged from the fact that each fall a community banquet is held for the hired men. MAY CONVERT AUTO PLANTS TO AIRCRAFT Government Call Upon Manufacturers Is Thought Likely. Detroit.—Owners of automobiles, par- ticularly those who have been accus- tomed to discard their cars solely be- cause newer models have been placed upon the market, will do well to give the highest degree of care to the cars they now own. Brigadier General George O. Squier went to Detroit, and it is understood ‘that the purpose of his visit was to confer with the manufacturers of au- tomobiles in regard to obtaining their co-operation in the manufacture of aeroplanes. There are few factories in the Unit- ed States that manufacture aeroplanes, and each of these factories makes a different type of craft. The aggregate capacity -of these factorles is wholly inadequate to meet the demands of the program of the aircraft production board, and it is therefore inevitable that the manufacturers of machinery which can be used as now made or whose plants can be adapted most readily to making parts for aeroplanes will be requested to give precedence to the manufacture of parts suitable for aircraft. . THINKS OF PET CANARY. Woman Refuses to Go to Hospital Until Bird Is Cared For. Philadelphia.—Though suffering from a broken leg and two fractured ribs, Miss Pauline DeHaven, fifty-five years old, refused to go to a hospital until after she had gone home and seen that her pet canary, Pete, was safely in the hands of a friend. The aged woman was struck by an automobile. When a patrol arrived she firmly refused to go to a hospital for fear Pete might starve. . Finally Sergeant Souder ordered the patrol to the woman’s home. She turn- ed the bird over to an obliging neigh- bor and then was hurried to the West Philadelphia Homeopathic hospital Volcanoes In the United States. More than a quarter of the active volcanoes of the world are on United States, soll, according to the Popular Science Monthly. We have the distinc- tion of possessing about sixty vol- canoes in Alaska and in the Aleutian {slands just off-the coast. In the west- ern United States, in the Philippines and in the Hawaiian Islands we have nearly as many more, making over a hundred volcanoes that we possess (not that we placé any value upon their possession). There are but 417 through- out the entire globe. Specimens of meteorites command such a value that those which fall to the earth are generally broken up into innumerable parts and scattered in all directions among the private collec- tions. Thus one of the earliest known meteorites, that found in Eusisheim, Upper Alsace, in 1492, is represented in sixty-six collections. The result of this practice is that exorbitant prices are asked-by dealers for meteoric material in amounts sufficient for analysis and study. Alter belng four years tied up in a close coil a saw of vanadium steel was released and the treatment found to hLave influenced its shape very slightly. 0000000000 DO00OCO00W FERTILIZERS THAT HARM. Those who nse street sweepings to fertilize gardens should avoid manure that contains oil or tar. Either of these substances is harinful to plants, specialists in the United States department of agriculture warn. Sweepings from tarred pavements or oiled roads are likely to contain them. 0il droppings from 1=otorcars often mix with such waste also. If sweepings are collected with There is $500,000.000 invested in Unit- ed States lumber plants. Good intentions are apt to get rusty unless kept in constant use.

A specialist in the bureau of chemistry cites an instance of damage dome to a garden in Maryland, on which unsorted street sweepings from the Dis- trict of Columbia were used. This garden, according to the special- ist, was ruined by the tar prod- ucts in the fertilizer, and it was necessary to resurface the entire 0 plot with new soil. o ] 00000000000000000000000000000000O0 00000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000O0 — 0NN, TO0 LATE TO CLASSIFY A S A FOR SALE—Two houses on 75-foot torner.
