If the program had been carried out
as expected, one of the democratic

CORN GROWERS ELECT.
Have Merry Time Choosing Score
tary-Officers Chosen.

Special to Times-Republcan.
Ames, Jan. 10.-Four hundred men,
bers of the Iowa Corn Growers AS
ISOLATION met at 6 o'clock at the Iowa
State College for an election of Off
GERS for the succeeding year Uncle
Asa" Turner made a speech at the
start, in which he expressed his wishes
not to be elected president again, as he
had already served three years in this
capacity. John Sundberg, of Whiting.
was then unanimously elected to fill
this office j. w. Coverdale, of Elm
wood, was elected vice president.
The selection of secretary resolved
itself into one of the most interesting
fights known in the history Of the or
ganization. Professor NJ. l.. Bowman,
the retiring secretary, was then placed
in nomination. and surprise party
was sprung in the nomination Of Mr..
b. w. Crossley, his assistant in the
agronomy department at the Iowa
State College. 1t then developed that
these two gentlemen were contem-
plating leaving the college to engage
in the seed business at a very early
date. 1t is fact that the Iowa Corn
Growers Association depends largely
on the Iowa State College for support
and it would be fatal to the organiza
ton If the annual meeting We're taken
away from the agricultural school,
which many of the members thought
would result If Professors Bowman or
Crossley were elected to the office
With affairs at this stage Professor
Nj. l.. Mosher, of the extension de-
partment, and Professor L. c. Burnett
were placed in nomination, and four
cornered fight ensued. with the first
two candidates trying to withdraw.
Retiring Secretary Bowman suc-
ceeded in withdrawing, absolutely re-
fusing to take the nomination under
any condition. A vote was then taken
and Professor Crossley was elected to
the position, which he refused, but the
corn growers insisted that as he was
elected he should take the office.
The ticket of vice presidents for the
following year are:
District George NJ. Alice, Newell.
District 2-M. S. Nelson, Goldfield.
District "a Z. Quaife. Ionia.

Special to Times Republican
Clinton, Jan. 10.-Recognizing the
desirability Of Yankee "git" in the full
filment of great contract, the British
government has offered the Foundation
Company of New York and Kansas
City, which is now engaged in an ex-
tensive contract in this city, an S.
100000 job in Egypt. The company
has not yet decided to undertake the
work, but will in all probability accept
the contract If this is done a new
company will be organized, for the
specific purpose of building an irriga-
ton dam on the river Nile.
The British government is anxious
to get the work under way, and COM
pleted as soon as possible. The dam
will be designed to irrigate a vast
stretch Of country which the Nile does
not touch in its annual foundations,
and which, tho now barren and non
productive, the government believes
can be made as rich as any part of the
land of the Khedive by the prosecution
Of the great scheme which government
officers have designed, and the fulfill
ment of which the government Is ready
to entrust to the American company.
If the contract is taken by the Foun-
dation Company local officers state,
hundreds Of skilled workmen and Ia
borers will be sent to Egypt next
spring, to work on the great dam.

but the lad, after twisting around
considerably, nodded his consent.
And you will give him a good
one?" asked the court Of the mother,

Yes, sir" she promised.

But the railway yards are private
property and the coal does not be-
long to the public" explained the
court. 1T may seem right to you to
pick up few pieces Of coal that have
been scattered along the tracks, but
it is against the law, even tho this
coal is used, as you say, to keep your

YES" she admitted, "straving lit

COURT scoLDs At wAvERLY.
Judge Smith Says Bremen County
Needs Active Grand Jury.

Special to Times-Republican.
Waverly, Jan. 10.-Judge c. P. Smith
of Mason City, is holding term of
district court for this county. In in
structing the grand jury for the year,
Judge Smith admonished the jurors
that this (Bremer) county is in ur-
gent need of an active grand jury, the
judge expressing the opinion that there
are fewer prosecutions in the county
than in any other in the district,
whereas there are probably more pal
pable violations of the law. Special ref
erence was made to the mulct saloons,
slot machines and other forms of
gambling. 1t is no doubt true that
there are some violations Of the con-
ditions of the mulct law, altho the clos
ing and other provisions have been rig
idly adhered to, only the technical
features being violated. AS to slot ma
chimes, Waverly has never permitted
any other than the common cigar ma
chine. The remarks Of Judge Smith
will no doubt tend to encourage a
stricter enforcement of the law, altho
the present grand jury adjourned with
out reporting any business.
