judges at the big horse show at the
state fair, stated while here that in
his opinion there has not been as much
hog cholera in this part of the corn

has been general wherever hogs are
grown. They are beginning to use it
in Minnesota and the Dakotas and
other places where in the past they
have been comparatively free from the
plague.
The supply of serum has been this
year sufficient to provide for all who
desire to use 1t. This has been to
large extent because of establishment
Of laboratories in Iowa. At all these
plants now the serum is manufactured
under strict government supervision
and inspection. A great gain for the
farmers has been made by reduction OF
the price. It was formerly 21s cents
a cubic centimeter and now 1t is sold
at 11a cents for the same. The farmer

Ames. Sept. l2.--There WAS little
example of trust busting pulled OF IN
Ames Thursday that would put the
federal attorneys to shame. The local
draymen were staged IN The role of a
trust and the sophomore class of the
college were the trust busters.
Some time last week the various
draymen Of the city who haul student
trunks, signed an agreement to the
effect that the price for hauling a
trunk to the college would lie 30 cents.
This was just double the price In eN-
istence in former years and the mem
bers of the sophomore class who are
acting as reception committee Tor
new students. set about TO inject
little competition into the dray DuSi-
ness.
Three teams and wagons were Sc
cured from a contractor working near
the college. Baggage checks were
procured and the student dray line
was ready for business at rate OF
% cents per trunk. Naturally the
lower price appealed to every student
who al!ghted on the depot platform
and the student line soon had more
business than lemonade stand on the
Fourth of July.
After the student line had operated
for several hours the drayman capitu-
lated and an agreement was reached
whereby the student line was to with
draw from business and the regular
draymen were to reduce the price oil
trunks to 20 cents until Monday.
