been asked for by the proprietor Of
Bailey's ranch which crosses the Mex
lean border near Columbus. n. NJ. Mex
ican rebels are reported plllaging the
ranch just south Of the line. Troops have
been sent. but their journey involves a
three days travel over eighty-six miles Of
sand
Fifteen armed Mexicans are camped on
Bailey's ranch, but have made no attempt
to come across the line. A band Of 100
revolutionists is reported to be coming
northward from Palomas. presumably to

apparently is becoming more serious.
Supposed robber bands have grown into
an organised movement in many states.

"In readjusting ourselves to meet and

is not surprising that we should differ

The fact that they differ with me raises
no presumption that l am right and they
arc wrong. They may be right and

occasionally change their views, through
contact and controversy with each other.
These differences OF opinion should be
freely expressed and fought out with
tongue and pen within the party. II the

IOWA'S SHARE FOR SUPPORTING
COLLEGE, $4.1OO, is
RAISED.

Des Moines, Feb. 8.--The sessions
of the Iowa conference Of Seventh
Day Adventists continued today and
several matters pertaining to churches
and foreign missionaries were sched-
uled to be disposed of at the afternoon
meeting.
The conference, associated with the
conferences of several states in the
middle west maintains Union college
located near Lincoln, Neb., at which
men and women are trained TO labor
in the home and foreign fields. The
Iowa conference has completed plans
for raising its share Of the money nee
essary to maintain this school, which
is S4,100, and the support Of one in
Structor.
Conference officers were elected as
follows:
President-Elder M. N. Campbell,
Nevada: secretary-Mrs. Flora V. Dor
vas, Nevada; treasurer-A. l.. Bayley,
Nevada
Besides the regular officers and eX-
ecutive committee, trustees for the
Iowa Sanitarium, the Iowa conference
association and the Iowa industrial
academy were also elected.

is fair price. But the best part of
the situation is that the seed available
in Iowa now is extra fancy in quality.
Iowa farmers in buying alfalfa seed
should give preference to the north
ern Kansas, Nebraska and South
Dakota seed and avoid seed from
southern Kansas and the irrigated dis
tricts of the west"
Iowa farmers and seed men have
enough oats seed to supply the home
demand without importations. The
price is normal, ranging from IS cents
to 81 per bushel The spring wheat
seed supply is normal also, with prices
ranging from 81 to $3.50. Barley prices
are higher because of a little shortage,
with prices at $3.50 to 50. Timothy
prices are down to $11 per bushel,
which is lower than for some time.
The experiment station at the col
lege will test seeds that are sent to
it and do it without charge. 1t also has
list of hundreds of men who have
seeds to sell, but it does not undertake
to recommend the seed of any of them,
no matter what their merits. Its in
formation is gathered merely to put
seed buyers in touch with seed grow
ers who have seed for sale.

that the adoption of the proposed

present, six per cent greater salaries
than men doing the same work in
