Qes Moines. Feb. 12.

The danger of eastern Iowa getting
the school for the deaf or dividing up
the institution now at Council Bluffs
seems to have induced the Pottawat-
tamie county people to get a move on
themselves Bills have been intro
'duced in both houses of the assembly
giving an interurban electric line
starting at the Bluffs a right Of way
through the state grounds connected
with the school for the deaf south of
the city. This indicates that some
provision is about to be made for the
accommodation of the pupils, officers
and friends of the institution and its
attaches. At present there is no way
to get from Council Bluffs to the
school. This inconvenience has struck
the board Of control forcibly. 1t is re.
sponsible for the report of the. board
to the legislature vigorously protesting
against leaving the institution at the
Bluffs unless very material improve
ments are made.
Originated With Senator Gale.
This report was brought out by the
resolution offered by Senator Gale, ot
Cerro Gordo county, who proposed
that the feasibility of the removal OF
the institution be Investigated. The
board has, asked $265, 900 with which
to rebuild the burned structure at the

A Simple and Certain Method by

Every mother knows that the dan

BEN DAVIS IS KING.
APPLE THREATENING
TO DETHRoNE ITS HARDY
RIVAL.
Opponents Claim That the Ben Davis
Is "a Big, Red Fraud"-What the
Missouri HorticuItursts Say Of the
Iowa Cooking Staple.

1t must be apparent to every person
with sufficient intelligence to dis-l
tinguish between an apple and a po-
tato that the conspiracy to dethrone
the Ben Davis as the king of the or
chard in Missouri is bound to be at
tended by serious difficulties, though
it is to be earnestly desired that the
merits Of the two leading competitors
for horticultural favor-the Ben Da-
Wis and the Jonathan = may be set
tied without plunging the state into
the horrors of internecines strife. In
the vicinity Of this city and practical
" the whole state, the Ben Davis fruit
is king. A greater quantity of this
species OF apple is grown in Iowa
than any other and consequently a
larger quantityljis sold. Especially is
this true in Ottumwa, the consump-
tion of Ben Davis being greater than
perhaps any two other species.
The Missouri Affair.
DR.. John G. Whitten, dean Of the
Missouri state hosticultural college,
and president of the Missouri Fruit
Growers association, who has been
drawn into the controversy, comes out
as fiat footed champion Of the Ben
Davis with the invincible argument
that Of all the products of the orchard
it Is the best moneymaker. Now,
while this may fully establish the conf
merical merits of the Ben Davis, it
by no means places it's intrinsic quail
tiles beyond the pale Of discussion. 1t
does not leave the Jonathan without
some hope of vindication and rightful
recognition if the time shall ever
come again in this country when
things can be measured by something
other than the standard of the al
mighty dollar.
The Jonathanites Claim.
1t is quite probable that the truth
about the Ben Davis lies somewhere
between the charge Of the Jonathan
ties that it is a "big red fraud, "and the
claim of its partisans that it is perfec
tion. That the Ben Davis is the best
'looker" among all the apples of the
orchard nobody can deny. The iona

person without a knowledge of apples
