petition has won victory. In a
statement to the headquarters COM
mittee of the Iowa AntiSaloon league
signed by John T. Houser, Dunshee
& Dorm and Evans & Evans, attor-

vised to discontinue the fight because
Of the very apparent majority attained

The statement made by the attor-

claim that while there are forgeries

good enough to justify further prose

Z. Des Moines, Jan. 31.-A favorable
report on the pure food bill has been
made by the senate subcommittee on
agriculture. This indicates that the
pure food measure will soon get to
the floor of the senate for discussion.

to discuss the final report on the pure
food bill
At that time the committees will
also take up the Gillilland bill for the
election Of members of the state agri-
cultural society by districts instead
of by the state at large. 1t Is con-
tended that the present method max es

TEACH LATIN TO
THE SEVENTH GRADE

Iowa City, Jan. 30.-A plan that is
somewhat of an innovation, particu-
larly in the west. Will be PIT into op-
Grafton in the Iowa City public
schools, when DR.. F. H. Potter, pro-
fessor of Latin in the state university,
will commence the teaching of Latin
to class made up of pupils in the
seventh and eighth grades. Profess
sor Potter will be assisted in the work
by Misses Stella Lowman and Sara
Mcbride, both of whom, although
students in the university, have chad
experience in teaching the subject.
This Latin will serve as substi-
tute for formal English grammar, it
being the belief of Professor Potter
that the pupils will secure by this
means a good knowledge OF the latter
in addition to the benefit derived
from the study OF Latin. The plan,
too, is expected to serve the purpose
of affording practical instruction in
Latin pedagogy to the advanced stu
dents of the university who assist in
the work and also Of solving many
problems in, the teaching Of the sub
ject.

other Of the older fraternal orders
which have been Obliged to increase
their rates almost double the assess
