Will Not BE Technical.
Special to Times Republican.


Des Moines, July 22.-The notion
which appeared to have been put be-
fore the district judge last week in
the first parIing over the right of
imposing millage taxes, that because
the five judges of Polk county dis
trict are wealthy property owners in
the city or county, that therefore they
would be prejudiced and. not fit to 81;
in the case, will hardly bear close
investigation. If what is wanted is d
Judge who doesn't have very much of
anything and who can hardly be said
to have leaning toward the rich
classes. then it might be possible to
find just such a judge on the bench
without going out of Polk county. In
fact if the imposition of the millage
taxes should double the value of all
the property of all the judges in this
county. it would be hardly enough
to count as bribe to any one OF
them.
Would Increase Judges Taxes.
But property owners calls atten-
ton to the fact that the first effect of
the millage tax is to increase taxation
TO very slight extent all over the
state: and the second effect would be
to enormously increase taxes in Des
Moines much more than elsewhere.
For instance, 1t is proposed to wipe Oft
the tax lists what some persons are
Saying is 100000 worth of property.
All the property the state acquires i'm
mediately becomes non taxable. That
will have the effect Of reducing the
aggregate taxable value of the proper
ty in Des Moines. The other property
will have to bear an added burden Of
taxation to make up for 1t. So that
if it is true that the Polk county
judges are not fit to sit in the case
because of being so well-to-do, the
most they can expect is to have more
tax burdens.
Attorney General Not Technical.
The attorney general showed that he
is not going to be technical; for he
suggested Apologize. and as an alter
native offered to have called in either
Wright or Hobson or any judge from
the remote corners of the state. If
Apologize is able to do 80 he will hear
the application for temporary in
junction. :
There will be agreement that Judge
Hunter is the proper person to hear
the application for temporary injunc-
ton against the treasurer and auditor
Of Van Buren, county for carrying out
the provisions of the code in collect
ing all taxes that have been certified
to them properly That case is re-
garded as q small matter.

ENGINEERING SHORT COURSE.
Amos College to Provide instruction TO-
Working Men and Boys.


Special to Times Republican.
Ames, July 22-Winter short courses
along engineering lines for men en-
ployed in the industries Of Iowa will be
offered for the first time at Iowa State
College from Dec. 20 to Jan. 10. The
plan for these courses was approved by

ducts, road materials and road making.
drainage problems. power plants. the
applications Of electricity. and steam
and gas tractors.
1.-THE state has come to rather tardy
recognition of the Importance OF Its
industrial and manufacturing inter
ests," said Prof S. W. Boyer vice dean
of the division of engineering. The
industrial products OF the state totaled
more than $4,000 900 last year. While
Iowa is essentially an agricultural
state. the biggest development Is to
come not in her agriculture but along
industrial lines. Thru It's engineering
extension department. the state col
lege at Ames seeks to be Of as great
service to the Iowa's industries as 1t
has been to Iowa's agriculture.
The work of the short courses Will be
very practical. Lectures. conferences
and demonstrations in which the stu
dent will take part. will be the method
Of instruction. Purely nominal en-
trance fees will he asked. Men who are
working in the industries will gain a
chance to brush up their knowledge OF
these subjects and get into touch with
the latest developments and processes
along these lines.

MACARONI OF GREAT VALUE
Themselves Of the Advantages Of
This Highly Nutritious Dish.

Macaroni is one of the foodstuffs OF
which the average cook does not avail
herself nearly SO much as she might
do to advantage. 1t may be served as
a savory or as a sweet, farinaceous
dish, and 1t possesses the advantage
OF containing sufficient nutriment to
qualify it to take the place of a meat
dish when desirable In this latter
case 1t should be noted that, while
macaroni is we'll supplied with nitro
genous and starchy elements, 1t is
lacking in fat, and 1t is consequently
we'll to enhance its value by the ad-
dition of butter, cream. cheese or a
little good stock Of gravy. Macaroni
should always be plunged into plenty
of boiling water to which there has
been added little salt. Continue
the boiling for from 30 to 40 minutes.
or until the macaroni is tender, when
the tubes should have become double
their original size. Drain the maca.
roni and plunge 1t into cold water for
a moment, to prevent breaking and CO.
hesion. and it is then ready to be
dressed for the table. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that macaroni does pot enter
more largely into the dietary of the
working classes Of America. not less
because Of it's cheapness and the ease
with which 1t may be prepared than
because of its nourishing qualities
