ANOTHER BOLD THEFT.
Small Iron Safe Taken From the Wa
terIoo Business College.

Special To fines Republican.
Waterloo, June ga theft, the
boldness of which exceeds any OF the
petty crimes committed here for some
time was discovered Thursday morn
ing, it being found that small iron
safe, weighing about fifty pounds, had
been taken from the offices of the Wa
teroo Business College and carried
away. 1t is believed that the thief was
someone thoroughly familiar with the
college rooms and the best possible
meshod of entry and escape, because
a route was chosen that would not be
known TO one not entirely familiar
with the rooms of the building The
money in the safe is comparatively a
small loss, beside the value of the re-
ports of the students contained therein.
1t has always been the custom to keep
the students grade cards, record books,
etc. in the little safe as a protection
against fire and burglary. AS the safe
was not opened in the building these
reports are lost with the rest of the
things. and they can in no way be re-
placed.

Ames. June ga new feature is to
be introduced in the animal husband
~ department of the state college here
and one that is likely to become pop
ular, in view Of the increased produce
ton of poultry products in the state.
instruction in poultry raising is to be
given students who desire it and a
special instructor has been engaged
for that purpose. TIE scope and pur-
pose of the new department is con-
tanned in the following announcement
Just made:
In response to the urgent demand
for Institutional and investigation
work along poultry lines, the board of
trustees OF the Iowa Agricultural Col
lege at recent meeting, created a
new position in the animal husbandry
department, that of instructor in ami
NAL husbandry in charge of poultry.
Mr.. Howard Pierce. graduate of Cor
nell University, has been placed in
charge of the work. Mr. Pierce is one
Of the best trained men in America
along all lines of work pertaining to
the poultry industry, and the college
authorities consider themselves most
fortunate in securing the services of
SO competent man to build up this
new and most important line of coll
lege work.
Plans are now being prepared for the
erection of the most modern and COM
plete poultry plant to be found at any
educational institution in America.
The plant will be located on the farm
recently purchased for the dairy herd
and poultry work. Both instructional
and investigation work will be cons
menced with the opening of the college
year. During the first few years spec
ial attention will be devoted to the
most economical methods of feeding for
egg production, and of fattening chick
ems for market.

his resignation as assistant physical
