pie with whom / talked usually re-
marked about the corn crop when
they had seen the button. AS a rule
they would not admit that Iowa Is
the best state In the union, but the
most of them ended up by admitting
that Iowa has the best agricultural
college in the world.
"A Canadian with whom / talked
stated that at his home diploma
from the state college at Ames gives
a man better standing than d.
ploma from any other agricultural
college. Maybe we who live here
in the state do not appreciate what
an excellent institution we have at
Ames."

TENS of Iowa. The different kinds Of

of Marshalltown, editor; ]. w. Fos-
ter Of Guthrie Center, banker; E. T.
Meredith of Des Moines, publisher;

Promises Aid to Citizens Camp.
Adjutant General Logan expressed
himself as willing to lend every as.

to establish in Des Moines a mill
tary camp similar to the one at Platts-
burg, New York. At that camp ci-
villains are taking a months course
in military training. Many promi-
nent men from all over the eastern
part of the country are enrolled there
and are living the life of private in
the ranks.
AS General Logan puts it, he is
willing to aid anything reasonable
that is designed to further the inter-
est OF the Iowa national guard. In
regard to the suggested increase of
the militia, he believes that 1t is
bound to come. The plan to double
the size of the regular army has been
abandoned by the heads Of the army.
and as result of that the national
guard will very likely be enlarged.
Nothing definite in that regard can
be said until congress has disposed Of
the matter.
Will Test Hunter License Law.
A constitutional question that inter-
ests all hunters, and particularly un-
naturalized aliens, has been raised in
the court at Centeryille.
Alleging that the hunters license
law passed by the last legislature, fix
ing the fee of the unnaturalized alien
at $1,000 while the full fiedged citizen
gets his for 81 is unjust, John Chi
vari has filed mandamus case to
compel the county auditor to issue
him a 81 license.
His attorney, T. G. Fee, contends
In the petition that II is class legis-
lation, not uniform in application, dis
criminatory, does not grant all per-
sons within the state equal protec-
ton of the laws, takes away the
rights Of the plaintiff and those sim
ilarly situated without due process
Of law, and denies them equal rights
in pursuing and obtaining safety and
happiness.
II is alleged to be contrary to the
guarantees Of both the Iowa and the
United States constitution.

tary of the Iowa industrial commits
sion, the attorneys of the state are
