Approximately 1000 doses OF tuDer-
cul,n were furnished the livestock
sanitary board by the bacteriolosists
at Madison during the three months
period ending Oct. 1. This amount ex-
ceeded by 1000 doses that supplleo
during the same months In 1917. 1t IS
thus apparent that very much larger
number OF cattle were tested during
the summer and early fall months OF
this year than were examined al tnat
time last season. and 1t Is anticipated
that this increase will continue Tor the
entire year. 1t is possible for the
bacteriologists at the college to manu-
facture between $4,000 and 10000 doses
Of tuberculin per year, very much OF
the output being produced between
Oct. 1 and Feb. 1, when conditions
made 1t possible for the work to be
best done.
The last legislature extended the
time for the repayment for cattle
slaughtered after responding to the test.
Under the new law the owners OF cat

state in case the meat is not con-

of the appraised value Of all animals

it is found necessary to tank" the car
cases but one half Of the appraise-
ment is paid. And when upon post
mortem examination the disease Is not
found the full appraised value, which
can never exceed $40, is paid.

LOCAL PUBLIC SERVICE REGULATIONS.

The National Municipal League OF
Canada meeting this month at Toronto,
went on record as opposed to the prin-
ciple of state commissions for the res
ulation of public utility corporations
whose business Is confined to city
boundaries. Public service within the
cities Is exclusively a local problem
and the Canadian delegates believed
that each city should solve its own
problem.
City government in Canada Is on a
much higher plane than in the larg er
cities Of the United States hence the
need Of state commission in this
country has become much greater than
in Canada, however. when applied to a
state like Iowa which has no such de-
plorable municipal conditions as exist
In New York City or Chicago the situa-
ton parallels that Of Canadian cities
and 1t still remains a very serious
question as to whether we need a state
commission to regulate gas, electric
and street car service within our cities
1t would be far more scientific to
further perfect our commission form
of government and provide for a gen
eraimanager and get our municipal bus
mess upon the same sound basis Of or
gantzation as that upon which our COM
mercial corporations thrive and pros

ent plan Of public school management
and parallel the business organization
that conducts banks. factories, rail-
roads or merchan dising.
With this kind Of an organization for
conducting city business the price OF
gas within that city can be best
handled by the local authorities. Such
bills as have appeared In the Iowa
legislature seem to have been inspired
by the utility corporations themselves
for they have been SO designed as not
only to remove local public service
entirely from all local control but even
to prevent locality rendering its own
local public service when the service
OF private ownership becomes in
tolerable. About all that Is needed in
Iowa Is compulsory publicity as TO the
earnings and cost os rendering p9Iblic
service. The right of access to the
affairs of the gas company Will at
once notify city council when prices
are exorbitant and furnish the in
formation necessary to determine what
is practicable and just in the way OF
regulation. Make public all the facts
as to public service business and the
local government will regulate the
local service without the cost or the
dangers Of a state commission.

LEI US BE THANKFUL 1oeE1HER.

Let US be thankful; not in perfume
tory way but actually and sincerely
thankful. Let US take time for thought
and retrospection and an outlook
ahead and devoutly thank God for his
mercies on this day of THANKSGIVING
In the best world OF which we have
experience, in the best state in the
Mississippi! valley and in the best year
OF time. AS a nation let us be thank
ful and humble before Him this day.
How the world has changed What
marvelS have come to pass, what dis
coveries have been made thru all the
ages for US. We are the inheritors of
all the endeavor Of all the men and
nations that have lived and struggled,
All the sunshine Of the centuries is in
this overcast Thanksgiving day of
1913. All the struggles for liberty and
all the toll upward Of generation upon
generation centers here.
Let us be thankful for the privilege
OF living now when one twelv ernonth
of America is worth a cycle of past
time. When men live better than ever
before, when, whatever we say in our
blindness, men are better than they
have ever been. when a day brings
more than an ancient decade Let US
be thankful for life. For OF all great
gifts and splendid privileges life is best
and highest. 1t is opportunity. 1t is
capacity to suffer and enjoy, ability to
do. It Is just life and life is every
thing. The one word sums it all up
from Adam to the babe born this
morning.
Let US say Il am thankful that /
exist, that I have lived and loved and
suffered and known happiness and
hope and disappointment and sorrow,
glad and thankful that live now when
life means SO much, thankful for all
the labor and struggle that have gone
on as generations rose and f1ourished
and decayed in order that my gener-
alton might be greater than they,
willing to toll and struggle in my turn
that my children may be better and
I've under better conditions than I
glad OF my chance to be and to do
And that is the true essence Of thank
8ulness.
Il isn't in the day or the custom but

Notwithstanding that Champ Clark
has dropped 1t into the bill hopper,
that w. c. T. U. protest against the
putting Of the funeral GRAFTON over
Brewer Busch into the Congressional
Record will never again he heard OF,
very likely.
The Congressional Record Is the or
gan Of congress. It contains more ly-
ing and hypocrisy than any other pub
LEGATION issued since printing with
types was invented and 1t Is the appro-
pirate place for record Of any fiattery
of the beer kings that anybody wants
to perpetrate.
The only recourse Of the w. c. T. U.
seems to be to formulate an opinion
Of Busch and get some congressman
to work IT into the Record pretty close
| to that funeral grafton. It IL one Of the
instances wherein there il no posi-
bility of satisfaction in trying to maui

PLYMOUTH COUNTY GOES DRY.
ILeMars Sentinel
For the first time in its history
Plymouth county has, by the act OF
its own sitizens, refused to grant
legal permit to saloons to operate IN
the county Back in prohibition days
legal saloons were under ban by rea-
son Of the state enactment. but IN
this case a petition Of consent, circu-
lated by local people and contested
by a Plymouth county organization,
has failed to secure the required per
cent and on December 1, all the sa-
looms in Plymouth county will be
forced out of business except those IN
LeMars.
A study Of the tabulated analysis OF
the petition in another column will be
of interest The percentage Of voters
who signed ranges from % in Garfield
to "a in Grant. Three Of the towns
that now have saloons would have lost
them had the consent petition carried
Akron, Kingsley and Struble- the
percentage of sigma lures in each fall
ing below the required 50. In West
field SO per cent signed in LeMars
the percentage OF signatures was 90
and in Merrill ffty-seven less than
the 65 per cent required for the success
of the petition, but sufficient to per-
NIT saloons in these towns had the
balance of the county carried the con-
sent. OF the other towns in the coun-
ty having saloons. Hungerford signed
IS per cent. Meadow S. and Remsen
90. The townships in which the petit
ton failed to receive majority are
Garfield. Eikhorn. Hancock, Union
Stanton. Elgin. Portland and Akron,
the percentages ranging from 20 IN
Garfield to an even 80 in Stanton.
Union had but 80 per cent. Elkhorn 40,
Hancock. ~, Elgin 43, Portland A. and
Akron A.
The townships where the consent re-
ceived a majority but not IS per cent
are Plymouth. Sioux. Johnson. West
field. Fredonia and LeMars. the
townships that gave more than IS per
cent to the petition are Lincoln. Hun
gerford. Perry. Henry. Liberty. REM
sen. Marion. America. Washington

There are fewer Iowa farmers going

there any going at all? There was a
time when it seemed to be the height
of wisdom for Iowa farmers to mort
gage their Iowa farms to get hold OF
a few sections in the Panhandle. But
the Panhandle country is again re-
turning to the native state. 1t will lie
fallow until there is another crop OF
suckers ready to be made to believe
that those lands can be turned into
highly cultivated farms. 1t has been
settled over we believe three or four
