 Clerk Lea stated the total amount of warrants outstanding, in addition to those in the hands of the treasurer for cancellation, is very close to S49.- GOO. It is impossible to get the exact figures until the collectors settlement is made, as the scrip from the county taxes collected by Sheriff J. s.

 The work of reissuing the scrip will begin Immediately after the county court passes upon that which has been filed. In order to distinguish the new scrip from that which has been barred it will be issued on paper of diff ferent color from the old issue.

Kennedy, former director of the
agricultural extension department of
the Iowa state college has accepted
the position of managing director OF
The Union Serum Co., Sioux City, la.

urgent need for aid to the farmers,
at this time, than along hog cholera
lines. The farmers of Iowa lost
through the ravages of hog cholera
during the year 1913 about 100000, 900.
In "a counties in northwestern Iowa
the farmers lost 1,112,000 head OF
hogs. Plymouth county alone, lost
105,055 head, or over 100000
worth. Sioux county lost about the
same number The present indica-
tons are that the year 1914 will be
another bad year from a hog cholera
standpoint as the disease has already
broken out in fully, one-half of the
counties in the state"
