thou faithful unto death and I will give thee a crown of life.0Life is real! Life is earnest!And the grave is not its goal Dust thou are to dust returnest Was not spoken of the soul. Not enjoyment and not sorrow, Is our destined end or way But to ask that each tomorrow Find us farther than today. Bunyan in his Pilgrim’s Progress says: “So too as we stare into the dark future we can see a dim light beckoning us on and that must be our goal.I know not what the future hath Of marvel or surprise,Assured alone that life and death His mercy underlies.And if my heart and flesh are weakTo bear an untried pain,The bruised reed He will not breakBut strengthen and sustain.Former Indianola Boy Is Doctor At Bow Son’s BirthDr. Harry II. Blodgett, former Indianola boy, and son of Mrs. Ola Anderson, was the physician in charge when the stork presented a seven and a half pound boy to Clara Bow, impersonator of flaming youth parts on the cinema in former days, at the hospital in Santa Monica, Sunday morning at 4:10 o’clock.Clara Bow, who is Mrs. Rex Bell in private life, is one of a number of distinguished Hollywood screen stars who are patients of Dr. Blodgett. Among others is Miss Constance Bennett. He is also the physician of Russ Colombo’s mother who has never yet been apprised of the death of her son.Press reports of the arrival of an heir in the Bell family statedthat Dr. Blodgett threatened to put the father to bed in the father’s ward because he tramped the corridors of the hospital prior to the arrival of the heir, who was described as a healthy blond.Dr. Blodgett graduated from Indianola high school in 1900. He attended Simpson college for two years and later finished at the University of Chicago.Upon receiving his degree there, he entered Rush medical college where he completed the medical course.He started practicing at Omaha where he remained for several months.

K. Bliss, director of the Extension Service at Iowa State College.Representatives of the Extension Service and the state corn-hog committee attended a regional meeting in Kansas City last week, where details of the new contract and rulings were discussed withAAA representatives.The 1935 contract places no restriction on livestock other than hogs nor on grain other than corn, Director Bliss said. If the hog base—average number of pigs produced for market in 1932-33—is 15 hogs or less the farmer may elect not to reduce production, in which case no hog payment will be made. He may reduce corn acreage, however, and receive payment for land retired.Provision is made for increasing the base for corn or hogs or both, under certain conditions, but no benefit will be made on a commodity for which the base is increased, said Director Bliss.When a producer can convince the icounty committee that his hog or : corn base is less than normal for the number of acres he operates : and that the low base is the result of unusual conditions, the i committee is authorized to In- : crease the base. The size of the i base will be determined by the av- : erage number of hogs raised on 1 the size of farm in question and i the ratio of acres'of corn harvested to total crop acres in the town- 1 ship. 1
