Judge TOwner Secures Order to Raise
Quarantine in Iowa.

Washington, Nov. 2S.-Judge H.
NJ. Towner yesterday secured an order
from the department of agriculture
by which the quarantine in Iowa oc-
casioned by the foot and mouth dis
ease is lifted from all counties ex-
cept Green, Mitchell, Black Hawk,
Buchanan, Delaware, Dubuque.
Tama, Benton, Linn, Jones, Jackson,
Johnson, Cedar, Scott, Keokuk,
Washington and Louisa. This order
is to be effective on and after Mon
day, November 3Oth ana permits the
shipment OF all live stock intended
for immediate slaughter to all places
where federal inspection exists. This
we'll permit shipments to Chicago,
St. Louis, Kansas City, Omaha and
ST. Joseph.
In all the counties named ship
ments have been received from in
fected districts outside the state, and
the quarantine will not be lifted
from such counties until all posi-
bilitites of an outbreak of the disease
is over.
The order of quarantine issued by
the department of agriculture which
has been in force prohibited any ship
ments of stock from any part of
Iowa The state was regarded as the
unit. This was justified in states
like Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, in
which the disease was scattered over
the entire state. But in Iowa the
case was entirely different. The dis
ease broke out only in Cedar, John
son, Iowa, Jones, Jackson and Clin-
ton counties. Only six out of the 80
counties were actually infected. and
these we're contiguous and located in
the central eastern part of the state.
Judge Towner at once on his ar
rival in Washington, took up the
matter with Mr.. Houston, the secre-
tary of agriculture, and DR.. Melvin,
chief of the bureau of animal indus
try He strongly urged the injustice
OF making the state the unit of exclu-1
sion and that the parts Of the state
not infected should be released from
quarantine. This the department
finally consented to do, releasing
from quarantine all counties except
those in which the disease had brok-
en- out or in which some source of in
lection was suspected. All of the
Eighth District and the western part
of Iowa is thus released from the
quarantine which was working great
hardship to the shippers.

DECEMBER WEATHER.
Here is What Hicks, of St. Louis,
Saws We Are Going to Have.

A regular storm period having its
center on November the goth, will
come to it's eliminating stages on the
1st. End and 3rd. Moon will 'be full
in the 2nd and at greatest north dec
lination on the 3rd. The center of
the Mars period falls on the 4th. The
storms of this period will, most likely
be attended by a wave of ususually
high temperature for December, as
atmospheric tides will flow north
ward from equatorial regions. The
Mars influence is also decidedly cleo
trical in it's tendency. The Mercury
period will add it's perturbing power
at this time, so that, altogether, we
may reasonably look for some very
marked storms, or other phenomena
out of the normal courses. The same
general character of weather that
may have prevailed in November,
will be strikingly prolonged and em-
phasized at this period; if it has been
wild and wintery, prepare for the
same, and worse, at this and other
December periods. If it has been
open, mild and spring-like, depend
upon it, the same character of wealth
er will, for the most part, prevail in
December. We repeat that the Mars
factor at this time is decidedly prob
lematical. Last winter every indlca-
ton pointed to rough and stormy
conditions in December, but with re-
versed results. This December, the
Venus period is absent, limiting at
mild and normal weather; but Mars.
Earth, Mercury and Vulcan may
spring the opposite surprise on us.
Study and watch conditions In No
vember, and expect, we repeat-to
encounter through December the
same general conditions, but to
greater extremes. Whatever Mars
incites is, as q rule intensified-of-
ten unreasonable and reversed as to
sections and localities; for ,illnstra-
ton, frosts and freezing in Califor-
MIA last winter, with warm, open
weather northward.
A reactionary storm period will de-
yelop and run it's course on and
touching the 5th, 9th and 9TH. The
reasonable outlook for this period is
that rain, turning to heavy sleet and
snow will pass from west to east, and
that cloudy, Mercurial. cold weather
win continue for several days, after
the passage of the storms. Study
your barometer closely, in connection
with every storm period.
a regular storm period is central
on the 18th, extending from the 10th
to the 18th. This is another annual
period Of maximum magnetic and.
electric disturbance. Earth's north
magnetic pole makes Its greatest

WORK OF R. H. WILSON.
Some of the Things superintendent
Wilson Has Stood for During His
Administration.


1. Immediately after going into
office he established tenure sys-
tenn for teachers in the state schools
providing that all teachers be nomi-
mated by the President of the Insti-
tuition in which they are to serve and
holding such President responsible
for the results, thus eliminating po-
litical influence and assuring eff
cheney and harmony. The harmony
and cooperation in the state schools
today testify to the wisdom of this
policy.
2. The improved conditions OF
the rural schools are due to the deep
interest manifested in their behalf.
They show an increase in the average
daily attendance of 10 per cent. with
better and more proficient teachers,
and large increase in consolidated
schools.
8. He has brought about condi-
tion which guarantees to every teach
er par value for his warrant. Only
three counties have failed to comply
with this law. Every assurance has
been given that when schools opens
next September there will be few
school districts, IL any, which will
allow teachers warrants to be dis
counted. This, in addition to an in
creased average salary, as shown by
the county superitendent's reports.
will secure better teachers and more
cheerful services.
4. He has persistently fought for
fewer and cheaper text books and
has been bitterly assailed by book
companies that would profit at the
expense of the state and has insisted
that all books made for the state of
Oklahoma should bear the union la
bel.
5. Mr.. Wilson made no pre-elec-
tion promises before and will make
none now, nor will he allow himself

His Ideas of the
Duties of State
Treasurer

That the office should be run more
carefully than a private business.
and as cheaply as safety and efficien-
cy will permit.
That the office should not be ex-
plotted for the benefit of any man
or set of men.
There should be no idle money in
the Treasury. Warrants should be
paid promptly and interest stopped.
believe that Oklahoma money
should be kept in Oklahoma banks
and that every dollar should draw
interest, and be well secured; that
all public funds should be deposit
ed according to the law governing
the same. See Sec.. 6779, Revised
Laws of Oklahoma, 1910. There
shall not be deposited in any one Of
such banks of the state funds, an
amount to exceed the capital stock
of any such bank"
That deposits of public funds
should be as equally distributed as
possible, so that all parts of this
state might share equally in the ben
efits.
That the State Treasurer. as a
member of the Board of Equalixa-
tion, should be familiar with prop
erty values. man of business abil-
ity, and use the utmost care that
taxes may be reduced as rapidly as
possible. and that every dollars
worth of property bear its Just and
proportionate rate OF taxation.

strength under the circumstances.
Practically every available bale at
New Orleans and New York was used

on July were issued. At New Or
leans large portion OF the cotton
was stopped" by men who sold
the summer delivery at Liverpool
with the intention of making delivery
there.
The status OF the crop Is a matter
OF serious concern to the trade In
general. In Texas some cotton is
only now at the end OF June being
planted. Stands are irregular and
uneven. The plant is lateral rooted
and not capable OF standing tho
lengthy siege Of hot dry weather. In
the west temperatures are favorable.
In the east temperatures are alb
normally high. Some rain fell in
the Atlantic states yesterday and
more is expected today.
On the whole, crop conditions
seem less, favorable than required
to repair the damage done during
May, though the trade expects the
Government to report some improve
ment during June. Acreage is ex-
pected to show little If any larger
than last year.
Spinners' takings have fallen off
some, but exports continue on the
fullest scale.
Meanwhile, the cotton trade par,
ticularly at New Orleans, has begun
to look far ahead. In the week just
