SWEDISH ARMY MEN
WILL NOT BUY NOW

Sioux City, Nov. 26. Buyers OF
horses for the Swedish army In the
west have given up the trip and Will
not visit Sioux City. They are now on
their way east. The army agents are
said to have secured only ten horses
in Texas and Oklahoma and to have
abandoned the idea Of securing sup
ply for the present. The Swedish army
men were more particular than the
buyers for the allies, who are forced
oftentimes to take animals that are
really unfit for the purpose for which
they are needed.
AS result Of the heavy buying of
horses by the allies the past year the
territory contributory to Sioux City Is
threatened with serious shortage Of
brood mares. A Sioux City buyer who
has altely been travelling over South
Dakota states he was surprised at the
scarcity Of the young brood stock. AS
a consequence it is expected prices for
that class of animals will soar in the
course of the next few weeks.

PRISON MIGHT Be

MADISON PLACE.

Des Moines, Nov. 26.-While the
state board of control has turned the
Flynn farm near Des Moines over to
Warden Sanders to be operated until
further notice as a prison industry,
w. J. Dixon, chairman Of the board,
favors retaining the property as a
prison farm and gradually transferring
the Fort Madison penitentiary to the
site if a custodial farm is not estab-
lished by the general assembly.
1.-The Fort Madison penitentiary Is
too far to one corner of the state, .
said Mr. Dixon. ut is very expensive
to take prisoners there. If that peni-
tertiary were abandoned and a prison
farm established in the center of the
state it would be better for the state
and it could be operated at less ex-
pense.
"The board OF control has only
turned the custodial farm over to
Warden Sanders for the time being
It is my personal belief that the farm
should remain prison farm and be
increased in size. However, we would
need additional legislation to bring
this about
Senator A. M. McColl went to the
Flynn farm to inspect the property
with reference to the wish Of Warden
Sanders to develop big dairy plant
on the property.
The Flynn farm was purchased as
a site for custodial farm. The last
legislature failed to make an appro-
priation for the buildings.
