FARMERS BUNC0ED.
Men Claiming to be Deputies Are
Working the Iowa Public
NO AUTHORITY FROM STATE
Pure Food Commissioner Barney 10
sues Warning to Those Who
Are Expecting to Form Co
operative creamerles.

Des Moines, iowa. The farming
communities in Iowa are being film
TANNED out Of $4,000 in the erection
Of cooperative creameries by per
sons claiming to represent the state
food and dairy department, accord
ing to Commissioner Barney. He de-
clines to make public the names of
the fake deputies who have been
working the farmers.
Their plan Is to go into the COM
munity and represent themselves as
deputy food and dairy commission
ers and suggest the organization Of
a cooperative creamery. This done
their confederates get the contract
for building the plant. They charge
$1,000 and assure the victims that
the state is assisting them. The
creameries can be erected anywhere
In Iowa for not over $4,000. Commits
sioner Barney has given to the press
signed warning against the takers
and urging them to notify the de-
partment when they are ready to
organize cooperative companies. His
warning is as fallows: 1T has come
to the notice Of this department that
certain parties are working in the
state organizing cooperative Cream
cries under alleged authority and en-
dorsement of the dairy and food
commissioner. No one not in the
employ of this department as an as
sistant commissioner has authority
to do such work. The department
at this time has five assistant COM
missioners, and will place one or
more of these men at the disposal
Of any community wishing to or
ganize a creamery. All of these men
are competent to do this work, and
their services may be secured with
out expense. We can furnish copy
Of the constitution and bylaws with
plans when they are wanted. BY fol-
lowing this plan community can
procure a creamery for actual cost,
and not be put to the extra expense
that promoter must add to the
price Of building and equipment"
peyoe Interprets New School Law.
A. M. Deyoe, state superintendent
Of public instruction, sent to every
county superintendent an interpreta-
ton Of the Cowles-Ritter bill. The
question of the adjustment of the
county institute is involved by the
fight which is being made by him as
a test case of the BILL July is the
date when the paper is published.
Il have received information from
the office of the attorney general that
his Interpretation of the registration
fee for the support of the normal in
stitutes as found in section 273S of
the school laws will be in substance
as follows:
"The time for the collection OF the
fee may not be limited to the dates
of the institutes, but may be extend
ed throughout the year. 1t will be
perfectly proper to ascertain at the
time of the institute from those in
attendance whether they desire to Sc
cure certificate or teach for the en-
suing year and collect fee of $1.00
from each person answering in the
affirmative.
This registration fee of $100 shall
be collected annually from each per-
son desiring to secure a certificate in
addition to the regular examination
fee. and from each person who may
teach in his county during the year,
but not more than $1.0O shall be SO
collected annually from any one per-
son.
This method of collecting the $1.00
registration fee does not apply prior
to July 4, 1911.'
Leading Hotel Managers Agreed.
The recent liquor decision of the
supreme court means the death of
drinking in Des Moines hotels. This
statement, made by w. l.. Brown,
shows the attitude local hotels will
take in regard to the recent decision
forbidding the sale or dispensation of
liquor in hotel cafes. Manager Brown
said the decision would also mean
that guests could not even order liq-
uor delivered to their rooms.
The managers of the leading ho-
tells In Des Mpines agreed that liquor
drinking of any kind, or in any form
Is doomed for guests of their hotels.
The managers of the Slavery, Elliott
and Chamberlain, when asked about
the matter unanimously agreed that
the vustom must cease. The custom
has been in vogue in this city since
large hotels began operation. It pre-
vailed throughout the. reign of the
drys and the decision is the most
rigid prohibition rule ever laid down
In Des Moines.
After Fake Insurance Men.
Criminal prosecution of insurance
agents who have no state license Is
the latest move by the Iowa insur-
ance department to wipe out fake
insurance selling in Iowa. The In
surance department has issued a
warning to buyers of insurance. The
state Ia flooded with agents selling
fake insurance. These agents carry
no state license. The department
urges every person who buys insur-
ance to ask the agent to produce his
license II the buyer is not certain
that the agent Is licensed.
