A Keossuth county veterinary sur
geon says young pigs. that is sucking
pigs. are immune from hog cholera.
It makes no difference whether the
mother Is immune or not. Again he
is confident the coming season will
witness more vaccination for shoats
than ever before in this part OF the
county. Thinks by the time this years
shoats need vaccination, will be when
they weigh fifty to sixty pounds, there
will be large supply Of serum that
can be depended upon to do sattsfac-
tory work, and vaccination Will be
the rule rather than the exception.
He does not believe that vaccination Of
both male and female. insures i'm
munity to their progeny, but says 1t is
possible that continued vaccination Of
each generation may in time make hog
cholera as mild form Of disease, as
smallpox II Is present in human be-
ings. He believes in vaccination and
in keeping everlastingly at it.
Messrs Inset and Waddell Of Eagle
Grove are erecting a $4,000 armory for
the military company. The building
will be 60x100. two stories and fitted up
with all Of the modern appliances
1t is understood the state has q Ave

the building can be used for other pur-
poses by the citizens for public affairs.

military company meetings. Eagle
Grove will soon vote on the proposition
for $4,000 city hall.
During the past two or three years
the better class Of Iowa hotels in the
towns, say $500 to 5000 inhabitants,
have raised their rates to $2,25 TO $3.50
per day. This raise business is on the
rooms and not on the meals. Seventy
five cents or a dollar for rooms with
out meals is common sign in such first
class hotels. This has been followed
by the second class hotels to a fiat
rate Of two dollars a day, and many
restaurants formerly rs cents meal
now charge 35 cents. The result Is.
travelling men bunch up" in the best
hotels, and frequently they overflow
and guests have to be taken to private
houses for lodging. Again this has
resulted in many travelling men
especially those making frequent and
regular trips over the same territory.
going to private houses for rooms and
getting meals at the restaurants. And
the outcome seems to be, the first
class hotels doing a big business, while
the lower priced ones getting the worst
Of it. With Iowa towns only 10 miles
apart and the railroad fare only two
cents mile, 1t is not only surprising
that two things occur Where the
$500 a day house is not up to date,
travelling men go ten miles farther and
pay 1926 to $3.50, but where $500 rate
is worth 1t. they figure against the
1925 to $3.50 hotels and arrange their
routes to stay at the $500 hotel over
night There's a pointer in all this
for several good towns in Iowa where
the hotels are behind the times and
the towns they arg located in. And
commercial clubs and business men in
such towns should realize, that ninety
per cent of all The money that goes
into the hotel safe, is taken out and
spent in the town.
Laurens is town spending much
for public improvement. They have
voted and let the contract for a
$4,000 consolidated school district
building. There will be Ave routes.
