DONNEDLSON, Jan. 1.-THE an
nual Lee County Farmers Institute
and the Southeastern Iowa Short
Course commenced auspiciously here
Thursday. Classes were organized
at 900 a. N. at Dickey's hall and the
first days events were highly sue
cessful.
At 10000 a. M, class Of forty stu
dents gathered at the lumber yard,
where Professor Howard Barker Of
Ames college acted as instructor. A
fine draft mare was used as model
before the class. From the interest
shown 1t was apparent that the In
structor is a skilled judge and has
the ability of imparting his knowledge
to others. The hour was well spent.
At 1900 a. M, class gathered at
Dickey's hall where Prof. Ben Walk
er took up the subject of corn breed
ing. including the selection of seed,
seed plot, etc.
At 1890 to 200 p. M, the class
again gathered at the lumber yard
where Prof. Barker gave instructions
in judging horses and the use of a
score card. The class there scored
five horses, using their own jud'g-
ment and giving their reasons for
their decisions. The student doing
the best Judging received $500; the
second $500 and the third s1.00.
At 200 p. M, the officers and rep
resentatives of the various townships
met at Dickeys hall for the annual
business session. Treasurer G. w.
Mattern reported balance on hand
OF s97.37 from the 1918 session. In
the treasury now is $1964S. All the
present officers were reelected. The
general feeling at the meeting was

PEST HOUSE OPEN
FOR ONE PATIENT
Woman Is Taken from Boarding
House to City Detention
Hospital.

The city pest house out near the
cemetery was opened last night to
receive one patient. The patient is
said to be suffering with small pox,
and as she lives in a boarding house
1t was thought better to move her to
the pest house rather than quarantine
the rest of the members of the board
ing house.
DIR. G. A. Dimond said last night
that it was not a question of any
spread of the disease that caused the
opening of the house. 1t was simply
to avoid closing the boarding house
in the city, and putting many people
to an inconvenience.
