thc annual report of State Auditor e.

mith Governor Mann. Mr.. Moore. by
MS untiring and efficient methods OF

rants payabl last year were settled
out Of this years funds. Auditor Moore
WAS alole 10 show an actual balance IN

NO CHRISTMAS TURKEY
FROM A RATTLE
Attorney-Generai Says That Such
Forms Of Gambling viii Not
be Tolerated.

At this time when Christmas raf-
files, lotteries and other gambling
schemes are likely to make their APP
pearance, George Cosson, attorney
general, has sent to mayors and
county attorneys warning that viola
tons of the law shall not be per
mitted.
The attorney general points out
that all forms OF gambling, gaming,
lottery schemes and raffles are pro-
hibited by the statutes OF Iowa. He
says that playing pool or billiards
with the agreement that the loger
shall pay for the game is gambling.
Ny attention has recently been d.
rected to various slot machines and
candy raffles," said the attorney gem
Ieral. THE complaint is made that so
great has become this evil of candy
raffles that a merchant who refuses
to handle these gambling schemes
can not compete In business with
those who do. This evil has multi
! piled until diamond rings, silverware.
