FINE NEW RESI-
DENCE BURNS
IS TOTAL Loss. DOWNSTAIRS
FURNITURE SAVED

The new residence just completed
by C. w. Allen in Beach's second
addition was completely destroyed
by fire Sunday afternoon. 1t was a
two story residence costing about
$500 and the fire started on the
second floor by the upsetting of
lamp by Mrs. Brigham who was
curling her hair. It spread very
rapidly. The neighbors assisted in
getting out the furniture on the first
floor and practically all of it was
saved. The furniture bel ,nged to
Brigham, a barber employed in
Shafer's shop. His loss on the up
stairs furniture is covered by insur-
ance but his own and Mrs. Brigham
clothes were burned.
Bob Grouse, engineer in the
Light company's plant, was room
ing upstairs and his trunk and
clothing were burned and he escap-
ed by jumping out of the window.
The building itself was not in
sured and Mr.. Allen suffers COM
plete loss.
The fire company made the run
with the down town hose cart but
the hose on the one reel would not
reach the fire and in the time re-
quired to get the second cart the
fire would have made too great head
way for it 10 be of any use. The
chemical engine was used slightly
and was kept charged SO that it
could be used should any Of the
neighboring houses catch fire.

AS the educational propaganda on

thing stands out pre-eminently as es-
sential in the ultimate eradication OF
this disease: i. e., consumptives, es-

by isolation that quarantine is meant
but that a disease SO readily trans

restrictive measures should be adopt
ed. To adopt such measures means
the disqualification of the consump

groups of counties cooperating, should
establish retreats where the advanced

Choice Of New seed.


In regard to the introduction OF newt
seed, Mr.. Warburton says:
Little permanent Improvement can
be secured by the exchange Of seed
from one locality to another The
transfer Of plump, heavy grain grown
under irrigation in Montana can hard
" be attended with success when the
succeeding crop is grown under the
very different conditions of Iowa or
Illinois. Experiments now being made
by the Office OF grain investigations
OF this bureau indicate that home
grown seed Of given variety will in
general outyield that from distance,
even where the original stock is the
same. Where improved high-yielding
varieties can be secured from nearby
growers, their purchase to replace
common or inferior stock lie to be rec
commended, but it is not advisable to
secure seed oats from section in
which the conditions are widely diff
ferent from those under which the
crop is to be grown"

Poor Dat Seed Causes Drop in Annual
Yield Of so, $40 600 Bushels.

WASHINGTON Jplyl.s2 The de-
partment Of agricultuta Is greatly
alarmed ove- the rapidly decreasing
yield OF oats throughout the United
States and has had one of it's expert
agronomists, G. w. Warburton, make
a special study of the oat trouble. In
a report prepared BY Mr.. Warburton
and just issued by the government,
he urges that farmers improve their
oat crops by careful selection of seed,
just as the corn yield has been great
| ly increased In many states, especial.
! ly in Iowa, by the development OF
high grade seed corn.
This effort of the government to
assist In the improvement of the oat
crop is OF vital Importance to the
| farmers of Iowa who for years have
led the nation in the production Of
oats. Though Iowa continued to pro
duce more oats than any other state
in the union, the decreasing yield Of
oats there has been particularly
noticeable the last few years. Last
year Iowa produced 110,444, 900 bushels
OF oats, while In 1906 the yield was
lao, ia, 900 bushels, decrease OF 80,
$4,000 bushels in two years. In 1907
the yield was 1os,900,O 900 bushels. The
average yield an acre last year was
but slightly above twenty-four bushels
as compared with yield of thirty
four bushels to the acre in 1906, de
!. crease of nearly ten bushels an acre
i In the two years.

hose suffering with tuberculosis but

those suffering with tuberculosis but
there is a general feeling that per-
sons suffering from any malady,
whether surgical or medical should
be given the privileges of hospital
treatment. This is evidenced by the
law watch passed the recent general
assembly, known as the Foley bill. 1t
is the County Public Hospital Law,
and enables counties to establish pub
lie hospitals for the treatment of med
ical and surgical diseases and the
establishment of suitable means for
the care and treatment of tuberculosis.
This law may be termed the peoples
opportunity as it gives counties the
power, upon vote of the people, to
establish suitable means for the care
of its sick. 1t opens wide the door
of hope to many who otherwise could
have no hope. It makes the way pos
sible so that every per-on within the
state II taken sick shall have the
largest opportunity to get well. This
law provides that a county may es-
tablish a public hospital in the fol-
lowing manner:
Whenever tae board of supervisors
Of any county shall be presented with
La petition signed by two hundred
| (200) resident freeholders of such
county, one hundred fifty (150) of
whom shall not be residents OF the
city, town or village where 1t is pro-
posed to locate such public hospital,
asking that an annual tax may be
| levied for the establishment and main
! tenance of a public hospital, at a
place in the county named therein,
and shall specify in their petition the
maximum amount OF money proposed
to be expended in purchasing or build
ing said hospital, such board Of super
4 visors shall submit the question to the
qualified electors of the county at the
next general election to be held In tins
county, or at special election called
for that purpose, first giving ninety
days notice thereof in one or more
newspapers published in the county
II any be published therein, and BY
p&sting such notice, written or printed

notice shall include the text of the
petition and state the amount of ia,

dollar, for period Of time not ex-
ceeding twenty 600 years, and be for
the issue of county bonds, to provide
funds for the purchase of site or
sites and the erection thereon OF a
public hospital and hospital buildings;
and for the support of same; which
said selection shall be held at the
usual places in such county for elect
ing county officers, the vote to be can
vassed in the same manner as that for
county officers.
The law provides still further that
If a majority Of the votes cast at
such election on the proposition shall
be in favor of a tax for bond issue
then the board Of supervisors shall
levy tax so authorized which shall
be collected. in the same manner as
other taxes are collected and shall be
credited to the hospital fund. And
said supervisors shall proceed at once
to appoint seven az trustees chosen
! from the citizens at large with refer
ence to their fitness for such office,
three (3) Of whom may be women, all
residents of the county; not more than
| four (4) Of whom may be residents Of
tne city, town or village in which the
! hospital is to be located. Those trus-
tees shall within ten (10) days after
their appointment or election qualify
by taking the oath of civil officers and
/ organize as is usual In such boards.
The county treasurer shall be the
treasurer OF the board of trustees and
4 shall serve without extra pay.
This law further provides that
whenever any county in this :, state
shall have provided for the appoint.
ment and election OF hospital trustees
4 and has voted tax for term not
exceeding twenty (20) years for hos
| pital purposes, as authorized by law
the said county may Issue bonds in
anticipation of the collection of such
tax in sums and amounts as the board
of hospital trustees shall certify tc
the board of supervisors of said coun
4 ty to be necessary for the purposes
contemplated by such tax.
i The full import OF this law will be
seen in the provision that every hos
} pital established under this act shall
be for the benefit of tae inhabitants
of such county and of any person fall
ing sick or being injured or manned
within its limits. and In the manage

ment OF such public hospital no dis
elimination shall be made; against
practitioners of any school OF med
icine recognized by the laws of Iowa,
and all practitioners shall have equal
privileges in treating patients in said
hospital.
When hospital has been establish
ed a board of trustees are authorized
to provide, as department Of said
public hospital, but not necessarily at
tached thereto, suitable accommoda-
tions and means for the care and
treatment of persons suffering from
tuberculosis and to formulate such
laws and regulations for the govern
ment of said persons, and for the pro-
lection from infection of other pa
tients and of nurses and attendants
in such public hospital as they may
deem necessary.
Thus 1t will be seen that any coun-
ty may provide for its sick and in
jured persons and make provisions for
those who are suffering from the
dread white plague. A plea is made
here that intelligent men and women
everywhere shall see the great import
ance OF taking immediate steps to
provide not only for those who may be
suffering from tuberculosis but for its
sick in general. 1t has been said by
someone that "a life is life" There,
are, however, different conditions I'M
der which persons may be sick or die.
Some maladies are not dangerous to
| the general public, and persons Ill or
dying OF the same do not become a
menace to the public health. but an
infectious disease like tuberculosis
which leaves It's train Of death calls
for the Immediate relief Of the patient
suffering with It and the protection OF
! the community against it.
| 1t is a fact that throughout the
/ United States at the end of last year
there were over 100000 patients suf-
fering with consumption and only 49,
900 beds, or 40 consumptives for every
bed. This is OF course for the entire
country. but 1t is true that Iowa is
painfully lacking in adequate proyis,
ion, not only for It's tuberculosis pop.
ulation but for those suffering with
other maladies.

Average Yield twenty-five Bushels

Nearly 32,00O,000 acres were devot-
Ell to the production Of oats in the
United States in 1907 This was the
largest acreage reported up to that
time, but the acre yield was the low
est since 1893 and among the lowest
recorded by the bureau of statistics Of
the United States department of agri-
culture. The quality in the principal
oat-producing sections was also very
poor. The acreage in 1908 was APP
proximately the same as that Of the
previous year, and though the crop
was slightly larger than in 1907, yet
1t was far below the average Of the
previous ten years, When the aver
age yield Of oats for the United States
is as low as twenty-five bushels to
the acre, as 1t has been in the past
two years, 1t Is evident that improved
varieties and better methods Of grow
Ing and handling the crop are much
needed.
THE prominent lines along which
the oat crop can be improved are the
yield, ratio Of kernel to hull and
weight per bushel. Incidentally, Sc.
