Sixty-two 1910 corn parity checks totaling $3,787.00 arrived last week at the Bremer County Agricultural Con serration office. A supervised playground at Osage has been opened and is meeting with much enthusiasm of parents and the children of the community. K. F. Hedemann of Elgin has been released from his contract to teach a second year so he might accept the superintendency of the Nichols schools for the coming year.

Undoubtedly V. E. An twine is the oldest World War veteran in Fayette county. That fact was substantiated and emphasized Thursday because it was: Mr. Antwine's 72nd birthday anniversary.

Dedication services for the new receiving vault in the Strawberry Point cemetery were held last Sunday. The speech was made by Ray Murray of Des Moines, administrative assistant of the WPA in Iowa. Frank Woods of Waukon left last week for Rock Island to accept a posi tion at the Rock Island arsenal. Employment at the arsenal was boosted during June to over 5,000, an increase of some 600 people.

Ten southeastern Iowa counties are participating in a new program from station WSUI of the University of Iowa each Saturday at 12:45 p.

m. Representative farmers from one of the counties each week have an informal discussion of farm problems. The program will run through Sept. 7. A hailstorm that lasted nearly 20 minutes did considerable damage June 27 to farms north of Guttenberg.

The freak hailstorm confined its damage to an area not more than a mile wide and about seven miles long. Grain and soy beans were laid waste and corn stripped on about 25 farms. Oats on many of the farms is considered a total loss and will be cut only for hay Of corn, the farmers are saying, if they have half a crop, they will feel lucky. Thousands attended the "Cavalcade -of Fayette given on the Upper Iowa University campus June 27 and 28. It was estmated that at least 4,000 people saw the opening show.

The June 28 crowd was still larger and it was estimated that from 5,000 to 6,000 people were in attendance. The large attendance was unusual due to the fact it rained during the opening performance and the temperature was down to an uncomfortable point during the second performance. i At the Elevator I JUST RECEIVED Gars of TANKAGE 1 LINSEED MEAL i I COMING SOON BRAN and MIDDLINGS Hail Roberts' Son Postville, Iowa Winneshiek county joined many of the Iowa counties in large issuance of marriage licenses this year.

Arch Musser of West Union has a wren which used his mail box as a nesting place for 16 consecutive years.

One more relic of horse and buggy days in Waukon is on its way out. It is the old Downs hitching rack and feed shed in the rear of the garage in the downtown district.

The Big Springs trout farm east of Elgin promises to become one of the most popular fishing spots in northeastern Iowa.

Already close to 68,000 trout have been placed in the rearing ponds and these are from five to 12 inches in length. This is last year's hatch and will be ready for the fisherman this winter or next spring. About 3,000 were placed in the large pond this spring but most of them have been fished out. The spring which furnishes the water for the hatching tanks, rearing ponds and large pond is said to be the largest spring in Iowa. The average flow is 10,000 gallons of water per minute.
