EXHIBIT RULE CHANGES
State Fair Board Votes $2450 in Cash
Prizes For Farm Displays-Nine Va
rieties Of Cereals to Be Classified.

Des Moines. Feb. 2S.-With the
exhibits at the state fair the last week
in August, announced yesterday, farm
ers of the state will have definite
knowledge Of how to arrange their dis
play Heretofore each exhibitor had
free rein in the matter Of selecting
farm products to show at the fair. This
proved very unsatisfactory.
The association will give $2,450 in
prizes for the best individual farm
displays. Polk county farmers are
prohibited from exhibiting in the first
two divisions, but otherwise they have
an even break with the rest of the
state.
The state will require the following
varieties in each division:
First-Ten ears in each sample of:
Field corn, three varieties; sweet corn,
two varieties: pop corn, two varieties.
Second-Sheaf grain, three inches in
diameter at center band; winter wheat,
one variety; spring wheat, one variety;
oats, two varieties; barley, one varl-
ETY.: rye, one variety.
Third-Threshed grain, two quarts
in each winter wheat, one variety;
spring wheat. one variety: oats, two
varieties; barley. one variety; rye, one
variety.
Fourth-Forage crops aE1 cultivated
grasses. three inch sheaf in best form
for feed: clover three varieties; al
falfa, one variety; blue grass, one va
riety: miIlet. one variety.
IIf, f,+-E-ora pa crops one plate OF

TWO Of pumpkin. two of tomatoes ana
ten varieties of miscellaneous veget-
ables.
ghth-Miscellaneous class: not less
than twenty-five samples OF farm pro
ducts not included in the above dl-
visions
Einth-Most attractive exhibit
Under the old system in which each
farmer might show whatever he de-
sired. there were many exhibits Whicn
did not strictly represent thirty xmas
of grasses which he picked up in dlt-
ferent parts of the country. BY the
classification the board expects to IN
terest more farmers and to make the
farm division of the fair as interesting
as every other part of it.

rRv Ora williams.1

Des Moines, Feb. 2s.-Some peculiar
errors are abroad concerning some
state affairs. A Local paper the other
day treated q news story from some
distant state relating to finding en-
ployment for paroled convicts In state
road work as II the great feature OF the
system, and something entirely new,
was that these men were to be issued
paroles that were revocable, hence that
the men could be put back for almost
any infraction Of rules and regulations.
A state official calls attention to the
fact that all paroles issued in Iowa are
revocable, in fact that is the only kind
of parole ever issued anywhere. Tile
difference between a parole and par
don," he said, sis that a pardon Is final
and the state literally cuts the strins
and let the offender go to do as ne
pleases, so that until he commits an
other crime he Is free; but parole ID
merely q temporary release from
prison, on trial, subject to revocation
at any time, and thus the state keeps
control Of the man until 1t is estab"
lished by him that he is not only IN
dustrious and honorable but is disposed
to recognize finally the authority OK
law. Every parole is on condition that
the parolee is allowed liberty only 50
long as he observes the rules unde!
which he is allowed outside prison
walls. Theoretically he is still in
prison."
Another popular fallacy in Iowa IS
that the paroles issued under the inde-
terminate sentence law, by the parole
board, are in the nature of extension
of clemency or special favors. Practi'
coll fta6 f0 mr.
in Iowa, except the lifers, must pass
under the review of the parole board.
The termination of his service is fixed
by the board. When it is stated that
the board has paroled say fifty convicts
this merely means that in the regular
course Of events the time has come for
terminal ting the sentences Of so many
prisoners. But by issuing paroles
rather than full releae IS the state is
able to help these men to get fair
start in !ife-something overlooked in
the old system.
Persons who are chafng under the
tendency in Iowa. as manifested in the
adoption of modern system OF state
supervision of highway and bridge
construction, should get a report made
by a bureau in the state comptroller S
office in New York state, after three
year study of the question condemniEs
as inadequate and vicious the county
system of local government Of that
state, which is almost identical with
that in Iowa.
The county system permits of too
many irregular and Illegal practices"
SAYS the report. The board of super
visors has too wide power; 1t should
either be abolished or curbed. The
county financial department is almost
invariably careless and slipshod. The
county Jail is generally a veritable hot
bed of vice and crime"

GATHERED IN THE BY-WAYs

The fact that at least two dozen of
the national banks refused to join the
new reserve bank system but Will rath-
er give UP their charters is taken by
some persons to indicate that there is
not entire sincerity in the pretensions
OF many national bankers that they
have subscribed for stock in the re-
serve banks with great gladness and
JOY. On Feb. 10 the treasury depart
ment at Washington sent telegram to
all banks that had not yet come in re-
quiring them to join before Feb. % or
be required to go into liquidation not
later than Jan. % next. 1t is stated that
number will quit as national banks
rathed than go into the reserve sys-
tenn. 1t Is known that one OF the most
prominent Of the national bankers of
Des Moines is righteously indignant
over the compulsory feature of the law.
which is the feature that Judge Prouty
declared on the floor of congress to be
unconstitutional.
L. r. Rosebrook, of Oskaloosa, raises
a question as to the adoption OF the
federal law by congress abolishing the
