SHORT COURSE At AMEs.
Much Prize Winning Stock Secured for
Exhibition-Good Corn Show.

Much Prize Winning Stock Secured for
Exhibition-Good Corn Show.
Special 10 Times-Republican.
Ames, Dec. 29.-The eighth annual
short course will begin at the Iowa
State College Monday and the outlook
for the largest attendance in the his
tory Of the school at such course is
indeed bright Arrangements have
been made with rooming houses and
down town people of Ames to accom-
modate at least eight hundred and with
the visitors that will be at the course
this number will surely be present. 1t
is expected that counting all those who
come and attend only a portion of the
course, wanting some special line of
work, there will be far over the thou
sand mark in attendance.
A great deal of prize winning stock
has been secured for this course from
various points in Iowa and from we'll
known breeders. Etradegant, the grand
champion sweep stakes stallion at the
1906 International livestock show; De-
fender, the championship steer of the
same show, and King Edwards horses
which were shown there, are among the
number. Driving horses are coming
from the Tichenor barns in Chicago. In
addition to this stock the college has a
great deal of prize winning and high
class breeding stock Of its own.
The corn show and the judging of
samples promises to attract more at
tention than ever before. Last year
the new pavilion afforded room for this
work but this year the gymnasium in
Margaret hall has been fitted up for
use in this line. A number of outside
men have been secured to help in this
work.
Students are coming from all parts Of
Iowa and also from adjoining states
A few from distant points are arriv-
ing now and getting ready for the
work.
Scholarships were arranged few
weeks ago with the understanding that
one go to each county. These are sup
posed to be in effect now but no re-
ports have been sent in as to how many
have been awarded and how much the
attendance will be increased by these
gifts.
Those in management of the course
believe that this will be by far the best
course ever held, both in attendance
and quality of work. If the weather
should continue as the past few days
the attendance will be much greater.

Will Attaching of Gasoline
Lighting Permit to Policy,

BUSINESS MEN ARE AROUSED
Decisions of Courts of the Country Go

Special to Times Republican.
taching of a gasoline lighting permit to
an insurance policy, vitiate the con-
tract?
This question, which has just been
propounded, is causing business men
and property owners to sit up and take
notice. The compilation of the decis-
ions of the courts of the country in a
digest goes to show that while gasO-
line lighting permits are commonly at
tached to insurance policies issued by
both foreign and American companies,
it seems to show that such permits are
so worded and so restrict the owner
of the property that for all practical
purposes they cancel the insurance pol
icies of both the occupants and own
ers of buildings. In citing these court
decisions, it is shown that any of the
numerous restrictions contained in a
gasoline lighting permit, when violated
by the assured, voids the policy. That
the violation Of any of these restric-
tons by the occupant of building not
only voids the policy on his stock, but
also voids the policies of the owner
of the building regardless of the fact
that the owners policy have the usual
gasoline lighting permits attached
thereto. That on strict interpreted
ton of the law it is almost impossible
to handle this deadly explosive in such
a manner as not to violate restrictions
in any gasoline lighting permit. The
common use of these plants in business
places in towns and cities of Iowa and
other western states brings this sub
ject right home to thousands who are
resting secure under the impression
that the gasoline lighting permit pro-
tects them from any possible harm.
The insurance companies have always
looked with disfavor on the gasoline
lighting plants, their experience prov
ing the dangerous and deadly element
to both life and property. While con-
ceding the assured the right to use
gasoline for lighting and nominally is
suing the permit, yet the courts of the
country hold against them.

Webster City, Dec. 29.-After being
in litigation for ten years, title to the
big Iowa lake bed, in Rose township,
Hamilton county. has finally been set
tied. The controversy has been COM
plicated by sales under first, second
and third mortgages, and title is finally
fixed in ID. j. Mcmahon, a real estate
dealer of Minneapolis.
To effect settlement claims against
1.-The land amounting to $4,000 were
paid by Mcmahon, these being mort
gage Indebtedness and other evidences
of debt. The money was paid in to the
office of County Clerk Lund.
In the old Iowa lake bed are some
LOO acres of land. In 1895 Messrs
Chamberlain and Benson bought this
old lake bed of Hamilton county under
the swamp land act. Litigation be-
gan at once, but after years of litlga-
ton before the courts of the state and
the department Of the interior al
Washington Senator Kamrar of this
city finally got the title settled in the
purchasers. The land was claimed
by adjoining land owners under repair
ian and prior rights as we'll as adverse
possession and other claims. The land
has changed hands several times since
its purchase from the county and has
been sold number of times on mort
cages. which could never be settled
up until the Mitigation has been ended.
During the ten years that this old
lake bed has been the subject of liti-
cation, it has been used largely for
grazing purposes. A drainage district
is now in the process Of formation and
it is expected that soon this big lake
will be fertile farm land.

Waverly.
The other day a farmer living on the
Waverly- Plainfield road went ia
Plain6eld to SELL calf he had at his
farm. The farmer in question
"batches" it and when he leaves home
the place is entirely alone. When he
returned from Plainfield he found his
calf gone. He started an investigation
but could find the calf nowhere in the
neighIborhood. He then telephoned to
the depots in Waverly and a calf an
swering the description was found at
the Rock Island and was held there
until the owner and neighbor could
come down and identify it. 1t proved
to be the missing calf. The name OF
the shipper, "a local veal shipper, was
ascertained and the owner went to
him and asked him about it. The thief
denied all knowledge of the affair.
Marshal Hastings was told the story
and he went over and interviewed
the thief-told him Of the height of
the prison walls at Anamosa and the
fine workmanship of the guards who
watch the wall, and of the joys of
pounding rock for your board. The
marshars talk had the desired effect
and the culprit confessed to the
theft and paid for the calf. No arrests
were made as the farmer didn't care
to push the matter. If stealing a calf
from mans barnyard and slaughter
ing and shipping it isn't about the linn
1t, then we don't want to hear of the
