That the farmers of the state are
sapping Iowa of It's fertility by thing
and draining OFF surface water is the
belief of Clinton Merrlck Of Forest
City. Instead OF draining Iowa farm
lands, Mr.. Merrlck declares the waste

yoirs instead of wasted.
Through this constant waste of vat

New York, Oct. 19.-The hunger
strike has been transplanted to Ellis
Island. This little dot in Upper New
York Bay, the gateway to the land
of the free" for millions annually, is
the scene of it's first staging. And
the star actress is Emmeline Pank-
hurst, militant suffrage leader and
advocate of violence.
Taken from La Provence this
morning and forced to stand an ex-
animation regarding her fitness to
land Mrs. Pankhurst eloquently de-
Tended her actions in England. 1t was
all for the cause, she insisted, and
when confronted with alleged acts of
herself and followers involving moral
turpitude she dramatically exclaimed:
eff what l have been guilty of in
my fight for the rights of English wo-
men to vote is to be called moral
turpitude then all l care to say is
that your forefathers who fought in
the revolutionary war, and the men
who spilled the tea into Boston har-
Dor were guilty of the same crime"
Mrs. Pankhurst bitterly denounced
the special inquiry board for the man
ner in which it conducted the inquiry.
Its members were equipped with in
Vulnerable clippings from the British
newspapers setting forth what she
and her followers had done. And
when the board finally announced
that she was undesirable and would
be returned to England she shouted:
, "AIl right if you can stand it then
l can, too. But want to warn you
that I will not eat single morsel Of
food while 1 am detained a prisoner
here at this station.
Mrs. Pankhurst will be granted
right to appeal to Washington.
