Want Iowa Class.
The length Of the afternoon program
and the early departure of trains for
some visitors to take in order to
reach their homes, made it necessary
to abandon few Of the talks. Discus.
sions of much interest were INDUCED
in however, and among them was the
matter of securing from the state fair
authorities q class for Iowa sheep in
the Rambouiet and Delaine breeds,
each in separate class and enabling
Iowa breeders of these types to COM

ing to compete with the world at large.
This was finally brought UP in motion
form and adopted by the body, the
secretary being instructed to take the
matter up with the fair authorities.
In the course OF his remarks during
the afternoon, r. D. Foster told the
sheep men to work to the end that the
condition OF meat producing animals
be kept more even, and that they do
not give up the business as soon as 1t
shows bad streak nor go in when the
price is high The dangers Of both
extremes were pointed out and the

Marquis de VIiaIobar Denies Incident
at Reception.

Washington, JAN 12-Marquis de
Villalobar, the Spanish minister, was
greatly surprised when Informed that
he had been transferred.
''You greatly surprise me-" he said.
II do not understand it at all and
there must be some mistake; don't
you think it likely that your CORE
spondent at Madrid Is In error"
The minister was asked If anything
had occurred here which might have
led to his transfer. In reply Marquis
de Villalobar denounced as absolutely
untrue the story to the effect that he
had been the leading figure in an un-
pleasant episode at the recent diplo-
matte reception at the White House
On this occasion, the story ran, the
Spanish minister was separated with
the other ministers from the foreign
ambassadors and that he resented this
discrimination.

ment of the Swift packing plant at
Chicago, who is here attending the
Colorado stock show.
Men who have corn sell it rather
than feed it to live stock" said Mr.
Swift The result is a scarcity of
live stock. The beef sent to market is
not the best grade, because the ami
mails are not fed thoroughly before
sold
LAS long as the scarcity continues
it is well to educate the people to use
the cheaper cuts of meat. They are
just as good as the more expensive
cuts, if cooked properly but the peo-
pie have come to look upon them with
disdain."

the Union stock yards at Chicago, de.
clared the future price of meats de-
pended upon the price of grain
I'VE must begin to avoid waste, like

I'VE must produce more grain per
acre. Do that and we have solved the
problem of beef scarcity"

CUBAN QUOTES
WAR SECRETARY
Says Dickinson Predicts
Democratic Success.
ANOTHER TERM FOR TAFT

According to Report From Havana
Member Of Republican Cabinet Ex-
poets Free Trade Democrat to Sue
ceed the Present Occupant Of White
House at the Expiration of His
Eight Years in Office.
Havana, Jan. 12.-Jacob NJ Dickin-
son, secretary of war, has hopes of a
Democratic free trade president sue
ceeding Taft after the latter has
served two terms, according to a
statement made by Don Raymon Pc
layo, owner of the Rosario sugar mill,
where Dickinson and his party took
breakfast.
Pelayo says that during a discus
sion at the breakfast table of the ques-
tion of free entry of Cuban products
into the United States Dickinson said:
81 am the only free trade Democrat
In the Republican protection cabinet
and after Mr. Taft has finished hia
second term l invite you to come to
the United States to assist in electing
Democratic free trader"
The statement was made before a
large number of guests, including
members of the Cuban cabinet, army
officers and prominent politicians and
occasioned considerable surprise, as
well as unbounded enthusiasm.
Dickinson's words were in answer
to an appeal from Pelayo to work in
favor of the free entry of Cuban
products, because" as he said, Cuba
is the economic slave of the United
States, being allowed reciprocity
agreements with no other nation"
Secretary Dickinson asked Pelayo
whether, in his opinion, the United
States could successfully operate su
gar mills in the Philippines.
"Yes." answered Pelayo. 'if you go1

They protest that this responsibility
Is at once an unnecessary and an un.

Graceful Method Suggested.
That Secretary Ballinger has con-
sidered and is considering rendering
his resignation to the president is
known. That he win do so before the
investigation is started may not be
stated so positively. However, it is
freely asserted that the secretary will
retire when he has been vindicated
by the congressional committee.
To the arguments that Secretary
Ballinger cannot retire under fire Re-
publicans who favor it say that it all
depends ON the manner by which he
retires They say that all that is nee
essary for the secretary to do in order
to place himself before the public in
a decidedly favorable light is for him
to state in his ielCer of resignation
that he is willing to sacrifice himself
for the good of the party and to spare
the president any possible embarrass-
ment, but that, conscious OF his own
innocence, he insists that after his
resignation has been accepted the con-
gressional committee shall make
thorough investigation of the charges
against him in order that in the end
he may be set right before the coun-
try.
No secret has been made of the fact
that the staunchest friends that the
administration has on Capitol nil
were extremely reluctant to have an
investigation of the Ballinger-Pinchot
controversy forced on congress and It
may be stated with emphasis that
Secretary Ballingers resignation

tion of al altogether embarrassing
