MAN USED POLICY
TO OBTAIN MONEY

Toledo, April 27.-The marshal at
Gladbrook brought man giving the
name Of Glenn Madden here on q
charge of obtaining money under false
pretenses. He had been writing acci-
dent insurance and collected money
from several persons, but the company
for which he claimed to be working
disavowed his connection and refused
to issue the policies.
He also contracted board bill Of
$50 which in his haste he seemed to
have forgotten to pay. Shortly after
he was locked up in Toledo the sheriff
began receiving calls about him. One
was from Hawkeye, where he 10 re-
ported to have worked about the same
game. Then came another from Clay.
ton county, asking that he be held.
Friday morning the deputy sheriff
from Clayton county came to Toledo
armed with a warrant and took Mad
den into custody to answer to a like
charge.

FIGHTING DISEASE.

The Indians and Esquimos of Alas
ka are proving apt pupils in learning
the rules of hygiene. And they are CO.
operating 80 we'll with their teachers
that wonder has been expressed as to
the change that would occur in the
United States If the people here co.
operated as well with the government
officials who are seeking to tell them
OF better sanitation methods than are
now in use.
Mortality from communicable dis
eases has been very high in Alaska in
the past years 80 high in fact that
the government took hand in combat
ing the evil A systematic campaign
against disease and the causes Of dis
ease was started and the first thing
done was to abolish the roller towel
and the common drinking cup. The
natives took kindly to the efforts being
made In their behalf and cooperated to
the best of their ability. The results
have become apparent in material
falling OF in mortality figures.
The methods followed in teaching
the natives includes providing all
schools with simple remedies and med
ical handbooks of instructions, giving
lectures On tuberculosis, eye diseases,
ventilation, care OF infants, prepare
ton Of food and other subjects per-
tanning to preventative measures.

TAMA INDIANS ADOPT WHITE

Tama, April 27-Civilization and
the laws Of the white man have en-.
vaded the abode of the Sac and Fox
tribe of Indians on the Tama reserva.

infelicity where peace and happiness
have always been before. With A.

been failure. Thus would 1t seem
that in the matter of marital affairs it
would be far better to let the way OF
the savage have it's course, instead Of
trying to carry civilization and the
supposed good results following there-
on too far. For Josephine Young Bear,
who was joined in wedlock to Robert
Young Bear under the laws and GUS

procure a divorce from Robert, alleg-

petition has been filed for the April
term Of court at Toledo. Answer to the
petition has also been filed.

a SMALL FREE TRADE JOKER:


There is another little Joker In the
tariff bill Of 1913 which has already
parted Uncle Sam from a good slice
OF revenue cash. A Cleveland aviator
few from Nice to Monte Carlo some
months ago, and had moving pictures
taken OF himself while In flight. The
films were made after he left Europe
and sent to him in the United States.
Custom house officials insisted on col
lecting import duty on the films, but
the aviator said no, and the case went
to the board Of appraisers. Judge Hay,
OF that board, has decided that there
is no import duty on the films, because
the tariff act Of 1913 provides for the
collection OF duties only on goods OF
tina. nature, actually owned by them
and in their possession abroad at the
time or prior to their departure from
a foreign country" Now go over and
order what you want on the other side
and have 1t finished while you are not
there and sent to you. Then the govern
ment at washington may increase the
special war taxes to provide that some
body shall pay It as much income as
it fails to collect from imports. -Wor-

At ONCE.

Des Moines, April 27.-Prisoners
from the penitentiary at Fort Madison
will be used to take care Of the big
tract of land owned by the state at
Woodward, according to the present
plans of the state board Of control.
This will In effect give the state Gus
todial farm at that place in spite OF
the refusal of the Thirty-sixth assem-.
bly, to make financial provisions for
the upkeep Of such an institution.
Arrangements are being made by
the board OF control for transferring
a number OF prisoners to the farm at
once in order to get the land under
cultivation. When the question Of an
appropriation became doubtful the
board leased some 900 acres of the 500
acre farm, retaining the balance in the
event that the necessary funds were
furnished for the institution planned.

The vine, which had extended across

loosely. 1t indicated that a great
weight had been on 1t, for the vine
bore up under heavy test.
This fact and other later findings,
which seem to support 1t. have led
residents Of the vicinity Of Buffalo to
the belief that the body Of the strang.

TO PUT BAN upon
EGGS FROM IOWA
INFORMATION COMES FROM CALI.
FoRNlA THAT SUCH A
MOVE Is ON.

Des Moines. April 27.--Iowa eggs
will be mighty unpopular in California
II several bills already passed by the
lower house 60 through the senate.
The bills seek to build . Chinese
wall around California by excluding
eggs imported from China and az now
worded will discriminate against all
alien eggs. The situation Is explained
in a clipping from coast paper re.
ceived by Ralph Bolton, secretary OF
the Greater Des Moines committee
from an indignant Iowan. The clip
ping follows:
Doom was spelled today for the
Chinese egg in the passage by the az
sembly at Sacramento Of three bills
which require that all imported eggs
and all food stuffs manufactured from
imported eggs will have to be labeled
Hotels and restaurants which serve
eggs brought from any place outside
OF the state will have to be printed
on the bills OF fare this warning:
We serve imported eggs
Each egg brought from afar will
have to be stamped with the word i'm.
ported And every dealer who handles
the imported product will have to dis.
play in his place OF business large
sign reading, imported eggs sold
here The bills were introduced at
the request Of poultrymen of Sonoma
county" 81.
The foregoing clipping was accom-.
panied by q letter from the Iowan who
said among other things:
Herewith is = clipping for your
consideration. How does 1t sound fol-
a state that imports as many eggs and
meat from Iowa and other middle
western states?
Better legislate against California

tion. That's about all California ex

Inasmuch as Iowa has all the rest

lieved that no retaliatory measures
will be adopted In this state

1t Is no longer an academic question
for Italy as to her place in the final
outcome of the great war for, with the
acquisition Of Tripon, the status OF af-
fairs in Mediterranean and Black sea
waters became OF vital concern to that
country. The rejection by Austria of
the demands of Italy for the territory
at the head of the Adriatic was in
eyitable and even had Austria yielded
it is more than likely Italy would have
still remained unsatisfied. Her states
men now have wider ambitions for,
with the Encouragement of Balkan and
near eastern political lines which is to
come, Italian interests would be In
jeopardy should she remain neutral to
the end.
There would be nothing heroic in the
participation of Italy in the war any
more than there was in the position OF
Roumania in the Balkan wars. Italy

through neutrality her territory might

the country along the Italian frontier
The guarding Of her northern boundary
the sending of an expedition across the
Adriatic to cooperate with Serbia and
considerable activity on the part Of her
navy would probably be the general
plan Of her operations.
It has been stated that Switzerland
will permit the passage Of troops
should Italy desire to move directly to
the north. This is interesting and
highly important If true but further
confirmation of this must come before
1t will be believed.
Should Italy enter this war 1t means
the end of the Triple Alliance, II
means the complete political and mill

It will also demonstrate the extreme
improbability of close and success
