NO HOPE FOR
CHEAP S|RL0|NS
CURTISS SAYS IOWA FARMERS
NEED NOT FEAR FREE IMPOR-
TATION OF MEATS.

Ames, Jan. S.--No hope for cheaper
sirloins and beefsteaks was held out for
the consumer by the beef cattle experts
or Iowa in attendance at the annual
convention Of the Iowa Beef Producers
association Monday. The world short
age In beef, the passing Of the range,
and the high cost Of feeds will main
tain high beef prices.
Iowa FARMERS need not fear the free
importation Of meats under the new
tariff, at least for the immediate flu
ture," said Dean Charles F. CurtiSS.
The beef famine is world wide. The
government Is seeking to make a par
tial restoration Of the ranges to provide
feeding stuff, but the ranges will never
come back fully. The beef problem
must be solved by the corn belt farm
ers who grow their own beef. feed corn
silage and alfalfa, the feeds that pro-
duce the cheap gains, and who finish
the handy weight, early maturing ami
NAL for the market in from IA to 1S
months"
That growing baby beef Is the key to
profitable beef production was further
affirmed by Prof w. H. Pew. head Of
Iowa State college, and by Charles
Fischer, of Botna, president OF the beef
producers association. "The younger
animals make more economical gains
with less concentrates and roughages
rer hundred pounds gain, and they
make them faster" said Professor Pew.
He urged that the farmers use breeding
stock more representative Of early ma
turity. That better bred animals have
been In large demand this past year.
and that there is a good future for this
class Of business was his belief
THAT the yearling steers, the handy
weight animal Of about 1900 pounds is
the butchers ideal was demonstrated to
us by a specific test said Charles
Fischer. 1.-TWO animals, brothers, one
two years old, the other a yearling,
were fed and finished by us under ex-
actly the same conditions. At the Inter-
national, the blue ribbon for the finest
carcass was placed on the yearling.
What the butcher wants is the baby
beef animal"
At the business session, the Iowa
Beef Producers voted to run two Beef
steak Special" trains during the coming
year, one on ar east and west line and |
one north and south. To interest the
farmers in growing baby beef, it was
planned to promote calf shows at all
tn, principal farmers short courses
and institutes in the state this year.

HENRY co. BOUNTIES
AMOUNT TO ST.


Mt. Pleasant, Jan S.-That the on
ward march Of civilization has not
completely eliminated all the wild ami
mails of this county, Is definitely prov
ed by the fact that the treasury OF
Henry county has been depleted to the
extent of $120 for boz les, paid out
for the death of wolves. This sum or
money has all been advanced to the
Successful nimrods in the last four
weeks. Three bounties have already
been claimed this year. The wolves
are all of the large grey type and are
an exceedingly wild and vicious LOOK
ing animals. One man recently pur-
chased a hunters license, with the
avowed purpose of Staying the ar lals,
and in less than two hours time ne
was back at the auditors office with
two large wolves and was accordingly
paid the sum of 81.
The unusually large number of the
animals is causing considerable worry
among the farmers. Already a large
number of sheep have been killed. II
the weather becomes severe, 1t will
probably be necessary to organize
systematic hunt in order to protect
the large flocks of sheep which are
exposed.
The report of the treasurer of the
Henry County Farmers Mutual 1nsur-
ance Co., shows that the farm losses
in this county for the past year were
heavier than ever before in the history
of the organization. The largest losses
were in the month Of October when
Henry county farmers were reimburs-
TIn
losses for the year reached $14,625.79.
The total amount of insurance written
vas $961,265.

HEARS APPEAL Of
RURAL TEACHER
LOST OVERSHOES LEADS TIC
TRIAL BEFORE COUNTY SUPER
INTENDENT BURGESS.

Many of the troubles in Columbia
township school district No. 5 were
aired Wednesday afternoon In the
hearing held before County Superln'
|tendent Elizabeth Burgess.
Among the factors that contributed
to these troubles was a pair OF rubber
overshoes which had become mis-
placed and in the investigation that
followed one of the pupils was given
a whipping. Events quickly followed
in which the chief details are an
agrieved parent, a complaint to the
school board a hearing of charges
preferred and finally the dismissal OF
the teacher.
1t is the latter that is responsible
for the hearing Of Wednesday after
noon. The teacher appealed from the
decision Of the school board to the
county superintendent and at present
the matter is being considered by Mrs.
Burgess with probability of finding
reached in the near future.
AS brought out in the testimony pro-
duced by several witnesses at the
hearing Wednesday afternoon, one OF
the pupils lost pair of overshoes.
Another little girl named Gertie Gard
ner was reported to the teacher, Grace
Cook. to have pair of overshoes on
her feet The teacher said upon the
stand that she asked the child to show
her the overshoes and also to remove
them that they might be compared
with those Of another pupil for identi-
fication Of the lost rubbers.
The girl refused and was given a
whipping. The teacher said the whip
ping was for disobedience. The child
reported the affair to her parents and
the result was a charge Of incompe-
tency filed against the teacher with
the district school board. The case
was heard by the board Dec. 10 and
the teacher dismissed from service on
the grounds of incompetency and
partially.
The appeal taken by Miss Cook Is
based upon the allegation that the
board did not make it's findings on the
evidence presented and its decision
was not warranted by facts. She re-
sents the charge Of incompetency and
the method Of her removal.
