be met with no opposition, for It is
not radical departure from the pres
ent conditions and yet would simplify
the present conditions into a system
which could gradually De developed
to the advantage of the state. Mr..
Riggs believes that the school teach
ers OF the state have been defeated in
their efforts to get legislation In the
past because Of the fact that they
have been divided themselves and
further because too many things have
been asked. The legislatures have al
ways been slow to amend the school
laws, though of late they have shown
disposition to correct the most glar-
ing of the contradictions In the school
law. Mr.. Riggs believes that at the
next session Of the legislature the dis.
tinct propositions should stand by
themselves in separate bills so that
opposition directed against one will
not endanger all. He believes, fur
thermore, that II 1t Is found that not
all the measures for which the asso-
citation stands can receive considera-
ton at the hands of the legislature,
and that II one only can be achieved
that one should be the reorganization
Of the system on a rational basis.

The following article was written by
reformed inmate of the Iowa peniten-
uary.
Reliability was the keynote OF the
plans used in the erection and install
lation of the massive mechanical de-
vices which were a part Of the state
penitentiary plant, built in 1904. The
choice of location was we'll made. 1t
is situated just below the old yard
line, directly west from the main en-
trance to the institution and handy for
all purposes. OF all the state build
ings there Is no one that presents
heater or more clearly daily appear
ance than this plant and the results
are directly due to the eternal vigil
ance of the men who do the work
about It. The floors are kept scrupul-
ously clean and the heavy machinery
FURNISHED and bright; even the walls
of brick are painted in serviceable
colors-a credit to the inmate work
men and superior officers in charge.
The plant is in the charge Of Chief
Engineer p. L. Carbaugh, a man Of
perhaps so years Of age physically,
though in spirit and interest of the
work apparently about FL.
Engineer Carbaugh has an enviable
record for long and successful serv-
ice. having been in the employ OF
Iowa at this institution for over 80
years. During this time he. enjoyed
one leave of absence for a short time
which he has never since been grant
ed, so urgent is the need for his per-
sonal presence at all times, and in
no individual department Is the re-
sponsibility greater than that of ia
thering" the mechanical life of the
institution.
This fact is doubly emphasized by
the plan Of building the plant 1t is
especially fitted for emergency calls
and every precaution has been used
to avoid failure of any called-on part
at the crucial moment In short, 1t
is a duplicate plant, having two of
every kind of machines, engines, gen.
orators, pumps, etc. With but two
exceptions, one heater and one hot
water pump, no breakdown would
cause any material notice in the sup
ply affected by the accident. At a
seconds notice a new set of power
could be in operation and everything
proceed with no appreciable Interrupt
ton or delay.

GROWING APPLES IN IOWA

Success in fruit raising does not
depend so much on location or eli
mate as upon the care bestowed on
the trees and the avoidance of too
large an orchard SO that the ripe fruit
can be properly and promptly har-
vested
This was demonstrated by the ex.
perience of C. e. Mincer of Hamburg,
Ia, who carried off many honors at
the recent horticultural congress at
Council Bluffs. Mr.. Mincer has been
making exhibits at the congress for
several years, but never before has
won any of the big prizes or come
off with the honor OF being one of the
attractive exhibitors.
Last year when Mr.. Mincer saw the
fruit from the irrigated districts he
asked the growers how they produced
such perfect apples. He found that
as a rule they have small orchards
and give them the best of care. Mr..
Mincer has only 20 acres, but he real
ly put In most of his time on seven
acres and has found that the small
orchard, well cared for, Is the one
that produces the most perfect fruit
and makes the best money. He had
fine crop and sold it at big prices.
He was offered So box for the fruit,
samples of which were exhibited at
Council Bluffs.
There is no reason why the very
best Of certain varieties of apples cap
not be raised in Iowa. Good trees
and proper care will do the work.

distributed on demand by its own
force. The largest basin for holding
reserve water is situated on Prison
hill" which lies north of the institu-
ton. This basin has capacity of
100000 barrels. Two large air COM
pressors lift the water into these bas-
ms from the pumps.
Over twelve hundred incandescent
lights. ranging from eight to one hun
dred candle power are arranged in the
different departments. Eight arc
lights Of FIVE hundred candle power
lend their brilliancy to make day of
night when needed. A large storage
battery has been installed recently In
connection with the home telephone
system just completed.
Nine electric motors receive their
propelling force from the central
plant. These motors operate the
laundry and the great ventilating
fan located in the roof of the cell
house; one motor rotates the bake
oven wherein all the pastry and bread
are baked for inmate use, and one
does double service in the culinary
department.
In connection with the pumping
work, pipe shop has been added for
repairs and blacksmith assigned as
assistant general utility helper.
An item Of general interest Is the
consumption of coal. This is entirely
governed by weather conditions. Dur
ing the severest winter months the
daily amount used often reached 20
tons. But the daily average summer
and winter is II tons. BY recent
improvement, in case Of emergency,
fire, ETC., water can be used directly
from pumps, with q one hundred
pound pressure.
All wires and pipes leave the power
plant by means OF six foot tunnel
This tunnel is eight hundred feet in
length and runs directly east from the
plant, along the cell house foundation
and at places Is 20 feet below the sur
face. Incidentally, 1t may be of inter
est to note that every foot of pipe and
every inch of wire now In use has
been put in by the present chief en-
gineer.

Rankin, and Day Assistant William

er department has two able helpers.

service for seven years. and Mr.. Key.

IOWA LACKS SCHOOL SYSTEM.

Instead of urging the county as the
unit for the school system of Iowa in
his address before the state teachers
convention, as the newspapers said.
State Superintendent Riggs advocated
rather framework on which school
system could later be erected that
would be either a township Of coun-
ty unit system or a combination of
both. as the trend of thought and de-
velopment of the plan might best in
dictate. .......
Superintendent Riggs address will
probably be the plan on which the leg
islative committee will work at the
next session of the legislature. He
pointed out that at present Iowa had
no school system. In some places the
township is now the unit, with several
directors elected. In an adjoining
township there may be division into
school districts with board of direc-
tors for each district independent OF
all others.
There is a general agreement that
the township Is as small as any unit
should be in the school system. The
last legislature turned down the coun-
ty unit system advised by the school
law commission, as did the legislature
many years ago when Governor
Grimes appointed a commission. SUI
perintendent Riggs believes, therefore,
that the legislature should provide
that the directors shall be elected at
large from the township and be about
three In number. He would give them
wide range Of power at present. He
would abolish the present county
board of education. which consists of
the board of supervisors. the county
auditor and county superintendent.
The supervisors and auditor are never
selected with any idea of their fitness
for the Office Of school board. He
would elect In their place county
board of three to have the slight du-
ties and powers of the present county
boards.
Mr.. Riggs believes the state would
then have a uniform framework on
which to construct school code. II
II was later found desirable to place
more authority with the county board
this could be done. IL 1t ultimately
was discovered that the county board
should be the only power and the unit
\ of the system, this could be easily ar
ranged. At present Mr.. Riggs said In
his address, there are advocates on
both sides of the question and he be
lieves IL there Is any solution to the
problem 1t must be in uniting on some
such plan as he suggests since there
is strong opposition against the adop
ton of either system to the exclusion
of the other. while all educators de
plore the present condition, consider
ing II curse to the educational ad
vancement of the state.
He believes his suggestion SHOULD

COUNTRYSIDE IN MOURNING
Double Funeral Was Held Today
Mrs. Mary Ammer Is Critically
III as Result of Her Dauah-
ter's Suicide.
COUNTRYSIDE IN MOURNING

Monroe, Ia, Jan. 29.-Mrs. Mary
Ammer is critically i'll and may not
survive the shock of the double sui
eide of her little daughter, Lima, and
Verne Barr, her boy sweetheart. A
physician is in constant attendance.
Albert Ammer, the girls father, has
walked the floor of the farmhouse
day and night since the body of his
child was brought to him. He suf-
fers untold remorse, blaming himself
because he did not draw the reins of
parental protection closer. Refusing
less march to and fro, between the
white casket and the bedside of the
girls mother, whose grief is uncon-
trollable.
The scene at the Barr homestead,
seven miles south of Monroe, is little
different The entire countryside is
in mourning and nothing Is talked of
but the tragedy. The secret motive
which actuated the lovers died with
them. There will be no coroner's in
relatives, friends and the populace,
the secret of the lovers is to be re-
spected and no further probe will be
made.
In compliance with the request Of
the girl as stated in the brief note
found pinned to her breast. the lovers
are to be buried in one grave side by
side in the new mausoleum at the
Monroe cemetery.
The funeral will be held from the
First Methodist church in Monroe this
afternoon. The funeral party from
the Barr home south of town will
solemnly bear the body of the boy,
and from the north will slowly wend
the funeral procession of the Ammer
family bearing the remains of little
Caroline.
Rev. Gilman, pastor of the German
Lutheran church and a close friend of
both families, will preach the sermon
and will voice the lament Of the en-
tire countryside.
A unique feature surrounding the
lives of the families is the close af-
lection which appears to interlock
their members. Albert Ammer, faith
er of the dead girl, married the sis
ter of Mrs. George Ammer his broth
er's wife. This double family mar
riage idea would have been carried
out again in the grief stricken family
but for the tragedy.
A sister Of the dead girl and
brother of the dead boy, both next
older in the family, are married and
live near the family home of the Am
mers.
Through his heavy sobs which
shook the giant frame of the rich
farmer, Lina's father admitted that
he had refused them permission to
marry for a while, assigning as a
reason simply that they were too
young. He liked the boy. He blames
himself, although he states the boy
did not really ask outright, but mere
ly limited in a bashful way that he
would like to wed his little girl
sweetheart now"
