Ames, Dec. 1.-After three months

AS in previous years the team has
been selected on the daily class work
and the records of the work done at
the Kansas City Stock Show. The
team as a whole is a good one and
should give good account, of itself in
the contest. The responsibility placed
up0i Lie HlSll IS tH important one, as
the students from the Iowa State Col

failed to win the highest honors for
their college. AS a result of their work
there stands in the agricultural build

famous Spoor trophy, won three times

won in competition with the bes,
American and Canadian colleges. II
is doubtful If any other feature of the

bring the Iowa State College before the,
people of America and other countries
as the excellent work of the stock

si4oNTs FOR COMMENCEMENT.
His Selection, by Drake University,
Peculiarly Appropriate In Many
Times-Republican.


Spesia. to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Dec. 1.-Drake Univer-
sity's commencement address in June.
will be delivered by Theodore p.
Shonts chairman of the Panama canal
commission, whose acceptance was Sc
cured by DIR. Hill M. Bell, president
of the university, while in Washing
ton last week.
The fact that Mr. Shonts is at the
present time one of the principal char
acters in the public eye, and the fur
ther thought that he is Presiden:
Roosevelt's 100000" man to dig the
Panama canal lends an unusual in
torest to the fact that he will speak
in Des Moines.
Mr.. Shonts is an Iowa man and has
spent the greater part of his career in
the west in railroad business before
his appointment as chairman of the
canal commission by President Roose-
welt Mr.. Shonts is also a forme"
Centerville man. and thus closely allied
with the Drake interests.
The appearance of Mr.. Shonts at the
Drake commencement is peculiarly
significant. He is the SON in-law of the
late Governor Francis M. Drake. for
whom the college was named and who
was the chief benefactor of the insti-
tuition.

WILL BE APPEALED
Farmer Near Gilman Gets Verdict
of $4,000. Several Thousand Dollars
Less Than Verdict in First Trial -
Court Holds Drivers Of Autos Must
Exercise Care.
Special to Tlmes-Republican.

Montezuma, Dec. AFTER eight
days of bitter contest in the court
here decision in the case against
the Grinneii Garage Company has been
tiff, a farmer living near Gilman, the
sum of $4,000. The first trial which
was held in September, resulted in a
verdict OF nearly $4,000, and the Judge
gave the plaintiff the privilege of ac-
cepting verdict reduced to $4,000 or
grant of new trial as asked for by the
defendants. The plaintiff refused the
reduced verdict. The new trial was
therefore granted with the above re-
suit. Judge Clements in his instruc-
tons to the jury laid down the COM
mon law principle which makes it
mandatory upon drivers to exercise or
binary care and prudence. He Held that
While automobiles have the same right
ON the highways as other vehicles, the
extra hazard which they produce
makes extra precautions necessary,
and that it is mandatory for drivers
of machines to stop them when they
see horse is becoming frightened,
whether or not the owner of the horse
raises his hand or gives warming as
the law provides. In this case the
farmer who was thrown out OF his
buggy as a result of a runaway caus-
ed by an automobile owned by the
Grinnell Garage Company, claimed
The defendants were negligent and
that he was permanently injured. The
case will be appealed to the supreme
court
