martial relief. There were fifty of the

repeated cruelty was named as the

Big Parade Of Livestock Passes From
Million Dollar to Two Million Dollar

Protest Against Prize Winning Per-
cheron Draft Horse.
Special to Times-Republican.


Des Moines, Sept. 2.-The famous
more than a million dollar livestock
parade, of the Iowa state fair, sched-
uled to move tonight at $50 will not
have the prize winning babies in II.
While scoring was finished at noon to-
day It is a human impossibility for the
Judges to total up all Of the scores of
the 399 babies judged in time for the
big parade. At least this was the
statement of the judges at last reports
when they saw the huge task which
confronted them. The babies at the
fair have always been referred to as
''Iowas best crop" and it will be some
what of DISAPPOINTMENT not to see
ther2 in the big parade.
This parade has passed from the
million dollar class to the two million.
So valuable have prize winning ami
mails become in recent years and so
numerous the animals in the parade
that million dollars does not begin
to represent the value of the animals
shown, in the opinion Of the fair man
agement. This middle west now has
the best biooded animals II the world,
Iowa livestock men claim, and It is
hard to really estimate their value.
Until last year, Friday has always
been the day for the livestock parade.
but it was changed to $50 Thursday
evening because Friday afternoon is
given over entirely to auto races. The
same custom is being followed this
year as year ago. 1t is masnif1-
cent display ard one of the great fea-
lures of the fair.
Prize Winner Protested.

the Percheron draft horse futuritieS

fin, Of Newton, Is being protested as
a grade by Tice Bros Of Sully. There
will be hearing before the fair board
today or tomorrow. The futurities are
open only to pure breds and there is
the keenest competition IN this event
of any livestock contest at the fair.
There was a representative turnout
Of politicians at the state fair yester
day which was state day. Attorney
General Cosson and Senator Allen,
candidates for the republican gov
ernorship. were among those present
but Lieutenant Governor Harding was
not there. Lieutenant Governor Hard

Governor Clarke and most Of the state
officials were present and number of
the members Of the legislature. Will
bur Marsh was the most conspicuous
democrat present but declared he was
more interested in making cream sepa-
rators and in dairy cattle than in
politics. Marsh is also enthusiastic
for good roads, especially since he has
been in California and noted how that
state excels Iowa in this respect.

GERMANS SUSPEND ACTIVITIES
 AGAINST UNARmED SHIPS

WASHINGTON, May 19.-Owing doubtless to the growing hostility of the American people toward Germany because of the Lusitania disaster, which it is feared will result in lTe- cpitating the United States into the war, both the German and Austrian Ambassadors have cabled their home asking that extreme con sessions be made to the United States It is stated that the Ambassadors have made it plain that concessions at this time will do much to raise the cause of the Dual Monarches in the estima- tion of the Americans and also restore the former friendly relations between the two countries.
