Iowans Win Prizes

Iowa proved supreme in two different
lines at the big Chicago stock show.
The team representing the Hawkeye
agricultural college defeated that Of
Kansas in the judging contest be-
fore crowd of nearly $4,000 people, and
the first rank in the stock honor list
was carried off by the agricultural coll
lege when General Manager, the rec.
ord holding fat Hereford calf, pulled
the coveted ribbon from its competitors.
General Manager, it was conceded by
stock show officials, would in all proba-
bility win the grand championship, but
in this competition, Clear Jute, of st.
Anthony, Mimi, captured the honor
with its Iowa opponent a close second.
Two Iowans won ribbons in the cattle
awards. w. B. Seeley, of Mount Pleas

Would Redistrict State.

Plans are on foot in political circles
about the state to redistrict Iowa and
a serious effort, it is said, will be made
to accomplish this when the legislature
meets in January, 1906. 1t is whis-
pered that the reason for this is because
of the slim majority obtained by the
republicans in the election in the Sec
ond district, as the plurality was only
185. The redistricting Of the state
really was the duty of the legislature
of 1902, but this body passed it on as
did the legislature Of 1904. and If the
1906 congress does the same. the change
will have to come in 1910, as Iowa viii
then, without possible doubt, have Il
representatives. Gov. Cummins may
himself point to this necessity at the
next meeting Of the legislative body
but If he does not the politicians viii
probably call 1t to his attention.

Educator to Whom Iowa Farmers Owe
Their Prosperity
It is the fortune of few to attain, is evil
denced by the fact that the state of Iowa
has this year raised 100.000,000 more
bushels of corn than during any preced-
ing year, and it is expected that next
years crop will be as greatly increased
as was that of this year. Prof. Holden
became an expert in grain raising by ac-
cident. When he taught school in Mich
igan he got up corn growing contest
and instructed his pupils to pick out the
very best ears of the cereal and save
them for planting. The result surprised
Holden himself, and he worked on this
system until at the present time his
methods are considered invaluable. Prof.
Holden is no longer laughed at for>his
ideas. and speech by him anywhere in
Iowa is the signal for the gathering Of
hundreds Of farmers from the surround
ing towns and villages.

The coming of the new year will mean
an increase in salary to five of Iowas
district judges and TO one supreme court

annum to the stipend of the district

by the Twenty ninth general assembly.
That year most of the judges who were
elected took office in January and the in

entrance into office, but Judges Clyde.
Macy, Bailie and Withrow had been
elected year before. and as their terms

MAKES CHARGES Of FRAUD
CARTER DEMANDS INvEsTIGA-
TON OF FAIR AWARDS.
President of Federal Commission
Withholds Approval-Reply
of Francis.

st. Louis, Dec. 7.-Charges of gross
corruption in making the awards of the
worlds fair premiums have been filed
with the United States national commits
sion and by that body referred to the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition COM
pany. President Carter, of the commits
sion, demands rigid investigation and
lays down the ultimatum that no award
OF diplomas will be approved until all
suspicion Of fraud has been removed.
Whether or not the awards will be al
lowed to stand is mere matter of spec
ulation.
Mr.. Carter's statement is made in let
tetr to ]. G. Pangborn, president of the
United Exhibitors association. In the
letter to Maj. Pangborn Mr.. Carter sets
forth that he had been unable to get
any reply from the worlds fair company
despite the fact that he had written it
that most grave and serious charges Of
corruption have been fled"
Referring to the charges President
Francis has issued the following state
emnt:
"Over year ago rules governing the
awarding OF premiums were adopted
by the exposition company, and ap.
proved by the national commission
These rules definitely provide that the

Des Moines, Ia, Dec. 5.-The meeting
of the state department of agriculture
which is slated to take3place in this city
from the 18th to the 10th OF this month,
naturally brings the name Of Prof. T.
G. Holden, of the agricultural college at
Ames, to the fore. Mr.. Holden receives
an annual stipend Of $4,000 for his serv-
ices to the state, and during the two
years in which he has been connected
with Iowa he has actually earned for
the farming population over $1S,0OO,OOO.
He is an agronomist of wide reputation,
and when his name was introduced to
Iowans, they laughed at the idea of a
man bearing the title of professor ever
attempting to teach them, the best corn
growers in the world, anything about
the art of raising the cereal. That Prof.
Holden has accomplished work which

schools open for 70 months of the year,
and the speaker calculates that the ex-
ira expense may be made up by doing
away with the necessity Of maintain
ing reform schools. She says that IL
months of school would keep down
crime among children. Married teach
ers are also favored in her speech, but
with the stipulation that they have al

this agitation really assumes any def
mite shape, and it probably will, it is
expected TINT the next legislature may
be called upon to deal with several
complex labor problems.

Poultry Industry in Iowa.

6OUAI1y 4A0oSS4y AZ 4OWos
Few Iowans realize the Importance OF
the poultry industry in this state. At
present an extensive poultry feeding
firm in the southern part OF the state
is preparing $4,000 fowls for the east
ern markets and the company receives
as high as % cents per pound for their
fowls when the price of ordinary grades
Is but 13 or "A cents. On all the farms
in Iowa it is estimated that the value
of the feathery product is over $1O .O0O.-
600, while the eggs produced in q
single year pay dividend Of over 100
per cent. on the total sum Invested in
the industry. The business is great
one and ranks close second to Iowa's
far-famed corn industry.

Banks Show Prosperity.

Calls from Auditor B. F. Carroll, of the
state department, for statements of the
savings and state banks, issued about
the middle of November, have recently
been compiled by Millard Cox in charge
of the banking department at the cap

of the statements shows that the depos-
its in these institutions have increased
more than 100000 between August
4 and November 10. This enormous in
crease in the $40 banks which reported

Omaha Claims Iowa Land.

Omaua Old1ulS Iowa AdUQs
Attorney General Mullan's action in
preparing an answer to the claim Of
Omaha to the islands in the Missouri
river, marks another step in that con-
troversy. The last legislature gave the
executive council the power to survey
the islands and, upon an attempt to do
so, Omaha filed petition in the federal
court to prevent this. The territory
in question is claimed by Omaha au-
thorities because the land is natural &C
erection to land and, on the other hand,
Iowans declare that the river on both
sides of the strip was navigable as late
as 1851 and that as an island the state
has perfect right to it's ownership.
One thousand acres are involved in the
dispute and as the land is valued al
about $500 per acre the tract is worth
approximately 100000.
