portant bearing on the business of
fraternal insurance societies. was in
troduced in the senate yesterts-" by
G. G. Saunders Of Council Bluffs. 1t

rates are at least equal to those pro-
mulgated by the tables of the Nation
al Fraternal Congress. ...,.'.
It is designed to prevent the. 70
currence of such troubles as lately ex-

other Of the older fraternal orders
which have been obliged to increase
their rates almost double the assess
ment at which the policies were first
written. In the words of Senator

older policy holders being made mud
stills" to keep societies from going
under.
The law does not affect associa-

TEACH LATIN TO
THE SEVENTH GRADE

Iowa City, Jan. 3O.-A. plan that is
somewhat of an innovation, particu-
larly in the west. Will be pr. 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 had
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.

Senate COnmittee VOCSQ Against
House Measure.
Des Moines, Feb. 1.-The famous
wife desertion bill passed by the house
of representatives few days ago was
given a death blow in the senate COM
lnittee on judiciary yesterday after
noon. Chairman Dowell arranged
for hearing on the measure, and
when this was concluded the commit

Miss Flora Dunlap of the Settle

she thought was of a character to de-
feat it's own purpose. Gardner
Cowles also appeared against the
measure, for the committee which
represented the opposition. This
committee and Miss Dunlap, however,
are not opposed to bill on the sub
iect, but only to the one which passed
the house. They hope to see reas'
enable measure pass the legislature.

Margin Of Profit.

The industry is operated on mar
gin OF less than 2 cents to each dol
lar of sales. Swift & Co. do not sell
at retail. Their entire output is sold
at wholesale to many thousands of
dealers in various parts of the world.
There arc hundreds of local slaughter
ers throughout the United States,
who buy their live stock in competl-
ton with the packer doing an inter-
state and international business. Like
wise the packer must sell in compe-
tition with the local slaughterers.
There are no secret processes in the
industry, no complicated and expen-
sive factories, and as live stock can
be purchased in almost every hamlet
and city, and the preparation Of
meats IL simple in the extreme, local
slaughtering will long remain a fac
tor in the production of fresh meats
and provisions.
