Special TO Times Republican.
Des Moines. Jan. ga material
change in the federal orders regarding
the foot and mouth disease will be is
sued from Washington soon. 1t will
be an order that will permit of the
movement Of livestock from within the
five mile areas under safe restrictions.
The department has been prevailed up
on by the state government so to modify
the rules that farmers whose premises
are clean and have been kept SO may
not suffer great loss from the quaran-
tine. Where a farm has been cleaned
and disinfected and kept so, then after
the lapse of thirty days. upon proper
inspection and certificate thereof. there
may be shipment of livestock out Of the
quarantine zone. This will make it
possible to avoid the great losses on
those farmers where the disease has
not appeared.
If there is proper co operation on the
part of the farmers in the affected
areas. and no effort to defy or to dis
regard the rules of the federal gov
ernment this will afford an easy way
for the farmers to get out without adj
,ditional losses.

Des Moines, Jan. 6.-Most satisfac-
tory results have followed the enforce
ment of the Iowa weights and meas
ures law, according to the bulletin OF
the food and dairy department, Just
prepared for the information OF all
whom it may concern. The weights ana
measures law has been in force since
April 10, 1918. Many prosecutions nave
been made where it has been conciu-
sively shown that persons were either
dishonest or careless, and from this
time on the inspectors will be less
lenient where they find evidence Oh
violation. The bulletin issued from
Mr.. Barney's office says:
I'VE deem it advisable TO call at
tention to some of the more common
violations that all interested persons
NAV be informed and not become Vlo-
lators because of ignorance Of the law.
One of the common mistakes made IS
the use of liquid quart measure III
mea suring dry commodities such as
cranberries, onion sets, and other ber-
ries. and like substances which are
sold by the quart and which are ordi-
narily not put up in dry measure
quart boxes. liquid quart contains
57A cubic inches, while dry quart
contains 67.2 cubic inches, difference
of IA per cent. The liquid quart is all
right for liquid substances but should

modities.
Scale Licenses.
Ia m of scale

sity for procuring licenses for all scales
where fee is charged or accepted for
weighing and for automatic money-in-
the slot scales, and the scale tag is re-
auired by statute to be displayed on
the front of the weighing device. The
inspector must assume that the ap-
paratus has not been licensed unless
the tab is displayed as provided by
law, and trouble is sure to follow where
the owner Of the scale is careless in
this matter.

Keen interest is being shown
in San Francisco over the Amcri-
can amateur baseball champion
ship series, which begins tomor-
row between the South Tacoma
Tigers, champions of the west,
and the Cleveland White Autos,
eastern title holders.
This interest is shown by the
following excerpts from an article
in Mondays San Francisco TX
aminer, which has the greatest
sport page service in the west.
The article occupied three-quar-
ters of a column:
The baseball series between the
White Autos of Cleveland, O.,
amateur champions of the east,
and the South Tacoma Tigers,
northwestern champions, is to be
played in this city and Oakland
starting October 22. The series
will decide the amateur champion
ship of America, and the winning
club will come into possession of
the 200 trophy offered by an
eastern magazine. :
This means that San Francisco
will see an American baseball
championship decided even If ut
cannot see the continuance of the
worlds series. The first game
between the Clevland and Tacoma
clubs will be played ON Ewing

to dental work.
Only those pupils whose par

Use of City
Fairgrounds

The future status of the public
school Fairgrounds depends on
the decision of the supreme court
Oct. %.
The case pending is that of
Frances j. Howard, an Oakland
school girl, who fell from play
ground apparatus and broke her
arm. Her father, r. c. Ho ward,
brought suit for $500 damages
and was awarded verdict In the
lower courts. The school board
appealed the case.
If the city schools lose the
case, 1t will mean that only the
larger children will be allowed to
use the grounds. or that the chill
dren will have to present signed
statements from their parents
absolving the schools for any in
juries resulting from use of play

School boards of all Northwest
cities are interested In the out
