On account of the new law which
goes into effect this month there is a

since so many new citizens were made
at one term of court and doubtless
many more will be added before the
new law goes into effect. Below we
give the names of those taking out
papers and the country whose alleg-
lance they have forsaken to become
Americans.

ALL GOOD MEN.

Speaking of the east end candidates
on the republican ticket the Vail
Observer says: ''The republican
convention put into nomination three
Vail men and it is our duty as we'll as
pleasure to say that they are all good
men. Chas. H. White is to head the
ticket as representative. He is a
man of wide acquaintance, an up
right, clean. successful farmer, and
should he be elected would make a
good man at Des Moines to look after
the county's interests. Henry May
nard was nominated to succeed him
self as supervisor. Mr.. Maynard. as
member of the board in the past,
has made a good record and we be-
lieve he would do even better should
the voters be disposed to elect him
again this fall. DR.. j. A. Thomson
received the nomination for coroner
and the selection by the republicans
could not have been bettered. He
will no doubt make a splendid officer
should the voters see fit to elect him
to the position.

A BEAUTIFUL PARTY

On Thursday night Miss Marie
Naeve gave one of the largest and
most delightful parties given this
season. All of the dancing set were in
cluded and the young married people.
A large platform had been built upon
the lawn and the brilliant lighting
threw the happy throng of dancers
into bold relief.
The weather man had relented in
honor of the event and made the
night delightful one.
Every one looked her best and it
was a rose garden of girls. The
music was excellent and nothing
could be done that would add to the
pleasure of the guests that Miss
Naeve had not provided.
The frappe was very refreshing
and the supper served by Miss Naeve
perfect of the kind. Her hospitality
was ably seconded by Mr.. Naeve and
Mrs. Naeve and the evening passed
into our social history as a perfect
one rejecting unlimited credit
upon the entertainers.
Miss Junia Romans gave a very
delightful whist party on Friday
evening as farewell to Miss Hazel
Laub. Six tables were filled and
the game proved to be interesting and
july as we'll. DIR. McConnaughy and
Mrs. DIR. Brannon captured the prizes
but the guests all felt that the even
ing its self was prize enough. Very
nice refreshments were served by the
Misses lone and Junia Romans and
Mesdames Laub and Romans. Miss
Hazel Laub will be greatly missed by
by both young and old who wish her
a happy year at school.
j Mr.. and Mrs. C. F.. Kuehnle gave
a dinner on Saturday evening COM
plimentory to Miss Anna Buerckle Of
Iowa City. The dinner being mark
ed by all the charm of refined hospi-
tality that gives Mr.. and Mrs.
Kuehnle's dinners such distinction.
The guests found Miss Buerckle a very
charming and interesting lady whom
: it was pleasure to meet.

An Odd Error.

Last week local notice of
household goods for sale was
phoned to the Review. In some
way the name was nlisunder-
stood and as consequence Mrs.
Noble was greatly ANNOYED all
the week by parties inquiring as
to her household goods for sale
while Mrs. Melton who desired to
sell her goods did not have call.

ladies for the inconvience caused.

INTERNATIONAL CONTROL

Washington. March 30--Possiby the
experience Of the navy department IN It's
efforts TO keep IN touch with the drydock
Dewey, In It's remarkable cruise from the
Chesapeake bay TO the Philippines, may
result In concerted attempt to secure
an International control within certain
limits OF wireless biography.

believe that In several instances Com
mander Hosley, In charge OF the towing
expedition, might have succeeded IT, com
that, too, at times when there was gem
uine apprehension as TO the safety Of the
tow, had the shore wireless stations re-
sponded TO his signals
At this time. when the supply ship Gla-
cier is passing through Mediterranean
waters with wireless stations on ada
cent shores. nothing can be heard from
the other naval ships, through the re-
fusal Of some of the wireless companies
to accept messages from vessels equipped
with instruments not issued by them
Some years ago, the German govern
ment whose merchant marine had suf-
ferod IN this way made inquiries TO as

billy Of securing an International agree
ment, Ike the existing convention for the
protection Of ocean cables, for the regu-
lati0n OF the marine use of wireless teleR-
raphy, but owing to the undeveloped
state of the art at that time nothing was
accomplished.
tits possible now, however, attention
hvalng been directed strongly to the sub
ject by the cruise Of the Dewey, that the
effort will be renewed to the end that all
wireless companies will be obliged to ac-
cept any messages from any other coun-
try.

Sl5O,OOO, 1000 A YEAR.
Is Paid for Imported Sugar by the
United States.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE value of
sugar brought into this country during
1905 will far exceed that of any earlier
year, according to a bulletin issued by
the bureau of statistics of the depart
ment of commerce and labor. The
bulletin says:
THE value of sugar imported dur
ing the eleven months of 1906, ended
with November, was $14S,575,345, Of
which ISL, 1926 was from the non
contiguous territory of the United
States. The estimate is that the total
sugar imports for 1905 will aggregate
considerably above $3.50, 100000, while
the highest figure in any fiscal year
prior to 1905, was $127,O00,000 in
1894, when an unusually large crop
was imported in anticipation of a
change in the tariff.
THE United States is increasing
steadily and rapidly in its consumption
of sugar and importations have
doubled in the last twenty years, while
the population meantime increased but
SO per cent. The United States is the
largest sugar consuming country in the
world. The average consumption for
each individual ia 1904, was about rs
pounds. The United States consume s
about one-fOurth Of the sugar produc-
ton of the world. Nearly all the
sugar brought into this country is pro-
duced from cane and the United States
consumes fully one-haif of the cane
produced in the world. Cane sugar is
forming at present a larger proper
ton of the worlds sugar supply than
during 1S9O-1902. Among the coun-
tries contributing to the sugar con-
sumption of the United States for the
fiscal year 1905 were:
cuba, 2.O57.690.839 pounds; Java.
500, 394.575 pounds; Hawaii S32, 721.-
3S7 pounds; Porto Rico, 271,319, 993;
Germany principally beet sugar.,
2O5,OS4,302 pounds; West Indies, other
than Cuba, 202, 639.S53 pounds: South
America, 186,557.528 pounds; Philip

domestic crop of 1904 was 1,167,250.-

being used. In many states there are
pure food laws which make the adul-
teration of honey with glucose a
felony. Kansas has no such law. and
one of the principal things which the
members of the association are inter-
ested in getting on the statute book is
such a law.
The meeting in the afternoon was
taken up by an address by President
Bohrer, who dwelt at length on the
shortcomings of the bee law which
was passed at the last session Of the
legislature and is nearly worthless.
This address was followed by a gem
eral discussion of the foul brood cpl
demic which is threatened to ruin the
bee industry in the state unless drastic
measures are taken at once to check
it. Foul brood is as deadly to the
