Rain at Ida Grove mt End of Day

Ease on After Most Strenuous
Period of Trip So Far.

IDA GROVE. Ia. May 19.-(Special Tele-
gram .)-Rain in torrential quantity has
been falling this evening upon such of the
Boosters as have ventured out of doors
and a comparatively quiet night is follow
ing day of the most strenuous kind.
Twenty-four towns-count 'em, twenty
four (24-were visited today and all this
section of Iowa has heard the big noise.
Not even the thunder which rolls through
the heavens tonight could equal It,
Receptions by school children were the
order of the day. In nearly every town
visited the pupils were out as part of
the reception committee and at Liverpool
and Mapleton they formed a double line
through which the trade excursonists ran
a peaceful gauntlet Onawa furnished the
banner event of the day, that city having
mustered enough automobiles, without un-
duly extending itself, to convey all the
visitors through the city. Mayor Harlan
headed the reception committee here. In
another town a one-mile march up hill
was the order of the day and none side
stepped it. Little Sioux voiced a protest at
being overlooked, by means Of circulars.
The trade excursionists are formally ex-
pressing their regret that they could not
stop off there, but It meant too much OF
a detour.
The moving picture show arranged for
tonight in Ida Grove had to be called off
on account OF the weather, but the return
Of Leroy Corliss among the missing of yes

its wholesome and refreshing Syrup of

As there is only n genuine Syrup of

FOOD EXPORTS DECREASING
Hill Argues Production Is Falling
Behind CONSUMPTION.

st. Paul, Minn.-While not entirely
agreeing with the recent statement is
sued by Bradstreet's, which intimates
that the consumption of food products in
this country has caught up with pro-
duction, James j. Hill says that the
point has been nearly reached and that
we are so close to it that there is rea-
son for alarm.
at is a matter which should be seri-
ously considered" said Mr.. Hill. "Our
present balance of trade is an indication
that the margin between Il production
and consumption is becoming narrower.
Look at the figures ten years ago and
then look at them now. Our enormous
balance of that time has dwindled away.
We are not exporting foodstuffs as we
were. We are consuming them ourselves.
"The reason for the increase in price
this year over last year is a matter OF
supply and demand"

Schools for T~uberculous Children.


Special schools for tuberculous chill
dren have now been established in
Providence, Boston, New York, Roches-
ter, Washington, Hartford, Conn.,, Chi
cago and Pittsburg. New York has
three schools and Washington, d. c.,
two. The board of education of New
York city is proposing to establish
three more, and similar institutions
are being planned in Detroit, Buffalo,
Philadelphia, Cincinnati and Newark,
N. j.
In cities like Providence. Boston and
New York, where outdoor schools have
been conducted for two years, the re-
suits obtained from the treatment OF
children in special tuberculosis open
air schools seem to show the great ad-
vantage of this class of institutions.
This, coupled with the experience of
open air schools in Germany and Eng;
land, proves that children can be.cured
of tuberculosis and keep UP with their
school work, without any danger to
fellow pupils.

MAY TAKE NICARAGUA
APPEAL FOR INTERVENTION Tc
STOP ANARCHY.
Americans Were Serving as Volun
teers in Rebel Army, and Did
Not Deserve Death.

Washington.-That the United States
is c~onverging its forces for intervention
in Nicaragua can be asserted on the
most reliable authority.
At the very moment that President
Zelaya protests to the state department
that the two American citizens murdered
by him, Groce and Cannon, were exc.
cuted legally, the navy department will
issue new and peremptory orders to YES
sells to proceed to the Nicaragua port.
I'VE are praying that God will cause
some foreign power to intervene in the
name of humanity and put an end to
the anarchistic conditions that exist liz
Nicaragua"
This ringing appeal, contained in a
letter struggled aboard a steamer at
C~orinton and received at Panama, has
stirred this government as has nc de-
velopment since the nation was startled
by the announcement that the two Amer
leans, Leonard Groce and Leroy X. Cam
non, had been barbarously murdered by
order of Santos Jose Zelaya, president
of Nicaragua and trouble-maker of Cen.
trail America.
The plea for Intervention has caused
a profound impression at the state de-
partment. 1t has planted in the minds
of the government officials the seeds of
u plan that may bear fruit eventually
in the annexation of despot-ridden Mica
ragua.
To cap the climax of the testimony
that has been piling up to show that
Zelaya's act in condemning the two
Americans to death without trial was
an outrage on civilization, came the tele
gram to Salvador Castrillo, representa-
tive of the Nicaragua revolutionists in
this city, signed by Juan Estrada, lead
er of the revolutionists, who has pro-
claimed himself president of the provi-
sional government. 1t read:
Cannon and Groce were serving as
volunteers. with the rank of colonies,
in the revolutionary army, and conse-
~quently did not deserve the death PEN
atty. A similar crime of Zelaya's has
never been witnessed in the history of
Jentral America"

Boys Essay on Clothing.

Here is an extract from ar essay,
written by a boy in a London school:
Clothing is an article which every
body should wear. The least of this
article is worm by savages or natives,
which is a piece of cloth or a few
leaves or feathers round the waist. in
cold countries, same as Eskimos, the
people wear more clothes than we do,
count of the icy cold out there. They
can skate all the year round, except
about n thaw there is in summer.
If they walked about like natives they
would catch cold directly and die of
bronkitis. We put clothes on which
are nearly like our bodies, some have
caps. coats and trousers, but women
and girls wear hats and frocks to tell
who they are"

WOMEN KILLED BY POSSE
Cover Retreat of Male Members of
Family From Mob.

Lexington, Ky.-A revival of the
Christian-Daniels feud on the West Vir-
ginia border9h resulted in the killing
of two women, Mrs. Charles Daniels and
her 16-year-old daughter, Mary, who
were shot down while defending their
cabin home against the attack of a
sheriff's posse which had been formed to
capture Jim Daniels and his brother,
Charles, accused Of killing George Chris
tian.
About three weeks ago George Chris
tian returned to the Kentucky side, and
was shot down by jim Daniels without
provocation, it is claimed. Christian and
Daniels were brothers-in-iaw, and had
formerly been allies. Each had served
a term in the West Virginia penitentiary
upon the charge of murder and shooting
to kill. They fell out over a trivial mat
ter and became deadly enemies.
After the killing of Christian by Dan
iels the two families and their friends
became involved and for some days both
factions have gone about heavily armed.

This is the advice: "Of course, you

much interested in it that you will
feel like going ahead and spending
some money"
