The greatest mock debate over heId
in Washington was that of Tuesday
evening before the National Press club,
when four of the most renowned public
men of the day discussed the question
whet her whiskers or a bald head were
the greatest detriment to the wearer.
Congressman Longworth and Senator
R. l.. Taylor of Tennessee, each of whom
wears shining ivory crown, defended
the bald pate. while Senator Thomas H.
Carter of Montana, whose whiskers
show an almost tropical verdure, and
form er Spea ker Joseph G. Cannon of H.

upheld the wearer of the beard. The
argu ments were pithy and mirth pro
voking, The decision was left to
Spea ker Clark, who threw up his hands
in despair.

HAMILTON COUNTY POOR FARM
WORST INSTITUTION INNIQWA

Webster City, Ia. April 24.-The
state board of control gives Hamilton
county a raking over the Goals for the
condition Of the home maintained at
the county poor farm. It is designated
as the worst county home In Iowa.
No fault Is found with the manner
in which it is operated by the steward,
but the county is seveTeiy criticised
for maintaining a home so devoid OF
modern improvements, without the
least sign of fire protection and its
general faulty and unsanitary condi-
ton.
Two years ago the board OF control
condemned his home. Nothing of i'm
p%ortance has been done to it since, but
1t is likely, now that the state board
has practically made the matter man
datory, new and modern Improvements
will be made.
