CONGRESSMAN COUSINS
ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT

Cedar Rapids. Ia, Feb. robert @.
Cousins, now serving his eighth term
in congress from the Fifth district, ere
ated a stir in political circles yester-
day by announcing that he would not

business that demands his time Is given
as the reason:
In a letter addressed to the voters Of
his district he says:
Not having announced my candidacy
for congress in the Fifth district and the
date of the forthcoming primary being
near, | deem 1t due to my friends and
to our party to state that I shall not
qualify under the primary law and shall
not be q candidate for denomination for
the office of representative in congress-.
Approaching most keenly the confidence
that has been continuously manifested and
the honor that has been eight times con-
necutively conferred upon me, both in con-
gently and conscientiously the best l
could to serve the interests of our dis
trict and of the nation, l make this an
nouncement so that the republicans of
the district may have ample opportunity
to consider whom they prefer to repre-
sent them in the congress. My reason for
withdrawing, while, of course, immaterial
to the public, is essentially material to
me. 1t is simply that having given the
best part of my life to the public service,
and having opportunity, l must now do
something for myself. Very truly.
Robert G.. Cousins.
James w. Wood, city solicitor of
Cedar Rapids, and who won a brilliant

ARE NOW UNDER FIRE

Des Monies, Ia, Feb. 12.-Thc charge
that the express companies furnished
bogus tariffs to the Iowa railway COM

is openly made in q letter which Dr..
a. c.. Hutchins, of Des Moines. secre-
tary OF the Iowa Manufacturers asso-
citation. is sending out to the members

cali their attention to the hearing to

matter up again. The manufacturers
will insist that a reduction of 20 per
cent be made from the rates actually
In force. The charges made in Dr..
HutchinS' letter are not altogether new,
but 1t is said that his is the first time
they have been officially made.

that p cents IS altogether too low il
they are to pay tx transfer charges

NODULAR DISEASE
DESTROYS LARGE
HERDS OF SHEEP
Complete Change Of Diet and
Internal Treatment Ordered
by Specialists.

Fort Dodge, Ia, Feb. 10.-An intes-
final affection, called nodular disease
is injecting a large number of herds OF
sheep in Madison, Boone and Powe-
shiek counties, according to DR.. ID. L.
Baughman, assistant state veterinar-
ian and president of the Iowa State
Veterinary association. Between 25
and 90 per cent of the sheep in the
herds infected are killed by the dis
ease.
Disease Comparatively Young.
"The disease is comparatively
young" said DR.. Baughman in an in
terview here. Although sheep have
had the disease for many years in this
state, yet it is within the last few years
that the disease has strengthened SC
that it kills it's victims. We do moi
know the cause for this Strengthening
You know, new diseases of stock are
appearing constantly and we hav &c
study them for some time before We
can find the cause. 1 think the cause
OF this disease is the keeping of the
herds in one place from .ear to year
Sheep in large herds should be moved
from pasture to pasture and from sheG
to shed. If they stay in one place they
seem to become infected with the dis.
ease.
:. Complete Change of Habitat.
The treatment that we advise is q
thorough disinfecting of the premises
in which the stock is kept, and the ad-
ministering of internal antiseptic. We
do not now yet whether the disease is
infectious or not. 1t probably is trans
United ITO other sheep through the
ground in the barnyard or pasture. A
complete change of diet is also ordered.
Il have noticed hat the disease oc-
ours. mostly in the small herds and ]
cannot explain the reason for this"
