Proposal to Bring Belgian Refugees
to This Big state is Meeting
With Approval From
Others.
CONFERENCES ARE HELD
Belgian Minister confers With secre-
tary Houston Over Proposal
tt to Bring Refugees to
Farms Here.

CLINTON. Iowa, Nov. 19.-The sug
gestfon of the Greater Iowa assoefa-
ton that steps be taken tc bring one
hundred thousand Belgian refugees to
Iowa to help develop Iowa's soil. and
at the same time provide homes and
a means Of livelihood for the Belgtans.
has created wide discussion all over
this country In fact it was made
matter OF conference last week be-
tween the Belgian representative at
Washington, and Secretary Houston
OF the department Of agriculture.
Newspapers in other parts OF the
country have taken up the matter edi-
torially and up to the present time not
q single adverse criticism has appear
ed anywhere. The plan seems to have
taken hold generally and unless Iowa
gets a move on herself she VIII not be
the first to profit by her own sugges-
ton. Other states are taking active
steps to get into the market for this
very desirable class OF European I'M
migration.
Mr.. Emmett FINLEY, a. prominent law
yer Of Council Bluffs, writes to tbs
Greater Iowa association concerning
the Belgian suggestion. The proposal
a my opinion Is one OF great merit :
says LII. FINLEY.
There can be no doubt but what
the farmers OF Iowa could receive
some very valuable instruction by
conningling with people who have
by force OF necessity been compelled

intensified farming. II our people
would Just stop TO think for a moment
they would readily see that the valus
OF land must necessarily depend upor
It's productive OF earning power.
"A tract Of land having no natura
hazard special to itself because OF pc
cuIiar location must necessarily b
considered the highest class OF invest
ment. A tract Of hand bordering upol

the tract by possible erosion Or casua

OF our lands are free from any specia

city is credited with being the first In
the United States to endeayor to ex-
terminate rats before the rodents had
become menace to the public health.
The business men have needed the
warning Of the state board of health
and the chamber OF commerce has
begun to act on the advice OF Dr. J.
N. Hurry, state health commissioner.
After explaining that California and
New Orleans had spent many millions
to exterminate rats and squelch the
bubonic plague, carried by rats. ana
that rats from New Orleans might
easily come up the Mississippi on
river boats and spread the plague in
the middle west, DR.. Hurry gave a
course of procedure to the business
men. Here it is:
Let the chamber OF commerce
gather all the facts obtainable CON
corning rats and methods OF destroy
ing them.
Create public opinion against the
rat so that the presence OF one on
the premises will be loathed.
3-Let every member OF the cham
Der of commerce promise to rid his
premises OF rats and make the prem
Uses rat-proof.
Abolish all reproducing concs-
lions such as piles of trash. dilapidated
outhouses, piles OF garbage, etc.
rPess a city ordinance DECLARING
the rat a nuisance and assessing after
given period a fine OF IS per rat
against property owners on whose
premises rats are found.

harmony is psychological. 1t must

harmony, but when it comes it will
make itself manifest before any one
hardly realizes it. 1t is as certain, 1

Pratt "Crap Shooters" Relieved OF
Their Change.


Pratt. Kan, July 1O.-That this
years harvest has brought its usual
run of tough characters to Pratt is
evidenced by two sensational gun
plays here during the past week. The
first was staged at the fair grounds
where two carefully disguised crooks
lined up dozen sleepy harvesters late
at night and took away their harvest
wages at the point of revolvers in true
western style.
The second affair took place in the
Santa Fee stock yards where a large
number of negroes and white men had
gathered to shoot craps. Two sharp
ers in the game relieved the entire
crowd OF their hard earned cash and
started to walk off when a couple Of
negroes and a white man pulled guns
and began to shoot. Fifteen or TWEEN
ty shots were fired, but so far as is
now known no one was shot.
