In justice to Mr. Bryan it is only fair to that since the
first day he stepped into the state department. its head has
faced some very difficult situations.
The Wilson administration fell heir to very serious Mex
complications which had developed during the last days of
President Taft's term.
The former republican executive has served notice upon
General Huerta that he would not be allowed dispose
President Madero without full and open trial. and that
would be held responsible for Mr. Madero's life

Land or Money Amounting to
$9,0o0-owns Another Farm.

Essex.-When John Almquist OF
Essex divided his estate few days
ago he gave the equivalent of $1,000
to each of his eleven children.
Mr.. Almquist, who moved into town
from a farm few years ago, owned
little over 700 acres Of Page county
land. He decided to get rid of his prop
erty and let the children manage. so
he called them all home and divided
things around. There are eleven child
rem, and each received land or $1,000
in cash. He gave away $4,000 in
all. He still owns the homestead of
160 acres and his modern residence
in Essex. He and his wife live in town
now with their youngest daughter.
The children all live in the vicinity
of Essex.

Iowa City Saloons Must Quit
Sooner Than Expected.
PETITION EXPIRES THAT DAY
Impression Prevailed That Saloons
Could Operate Until January But
Law Does Not Read That Way
-Wets Prepare for Fight.

Des Moines.-There will be no
booze in Iowa City for the 1915 Christ
mas celebration. Saloons Of that city
will be closed Dec. % by the law pass
ed by the Thirty-ffth general assem-
bly, directing that there be no grog
shops within FIVE miles OF the state
university, the temperance faction de-
clares.
The drys had thought that the Iowa
City saloons had until Jan. l to live
but 1t has been found that the saloon
consent petition expires Dec. 22 and
for that reason they declare the grog
shops legally die on that date.
The legislature in passing the law
prohibiting saloons in Iowa City. had
to frame the measure in a general
way, as a law directed at only one
city would not be constitutional.
Therefore the law forbids saloons
within five miles OF any city where
an Institution under the state board
of education. is located. The meas
ure did not contain date on which
the liquor palaces" should 60 out of
existence, but It said that they might
run until the present saloon consent
expires.
Investigation of the petition at Iowa
City shows that the petition expires
Dec. %. The grog shops there must
close then. They cannot continue to
operate until Jan. as many persons
ka l. "a
few days, but 1t means that Iowa
City will have dry" Christmas.
1t is reported that evidence is be-
ing secured by the drys that the liquor
forces in wet counties are raising a
big fund with which to fight prohibit
tion. The fund will not be as big as
the vets hoped to secure, as many
men now in the liquor business are
refusing to chip in.

cilitate drainage and for easy clean
ing. The hangers are two feet in
width. they are six inches deep at the
back and IL inches deep at the front or
feed-alley side. The standing floor
measures four feet ten inches from the
back of the manger to the gutter. The
gutter is Is inches wide and drops six
inches below the standing floor. The
feed alley in the center is about seven
feet in width and the alleys behind
the cows are five feet six inches wide.
The side alleys slope with fall Of
one inch towards the gutter. This
makes stable floor that is perma-
nent and satisfactory.
The roof may be supported in two
ways. It may be made self-supporting
so there will be no posts in the way.
This is done by running the rafters
from the caves clear through to the
monitor plates. They are crossed and
bolted at the crossings. and the whole
roof structure is made into trussed
roof by ties reaching across the build
ing from one side plate to the other
side plate. All monitor studding
reaches down and is bolted to these
cross ties and to the rafters. thus
forming very strong truss.
The other plan supports the monitor
studding or posts long enough to reach
from the rear wall of the concrete
hangers to the monitor plates. II is
customary to place these posts two
cows apart. and the monitor windows
are the same width as the COW stalls.
This arrangement provides one mon
itor window for each two cows.
The COW stalls may be two feet ten
inches between stall partitions. or
they may be three feet two inches, ac-
cording to the size of the cows the
stable Is intended for.
Generally there is no ceiling in
monitor-roof COW stable. for the rea-
son that with ceiling it is necessary
to have ventilator fiues. in which case
there is no excuse for the monitor.
