ROOSTER WEEK"
TO Be OBSERVED

Ames, May 21.-The first week in
June has been designed as rooster
week. by the agricultural extension
department of Iowa State college and
1t Is to be devoted to eliminate an
annual loss of millions of dollars in
eggs for which the rooster is respson-
sible. If the campaign is successful,
he will no longer rule the chicken yard
unmolested. He will be made into
pot pies sold of or penned up.
1t Is figured by the extension de-
partment that the rooster causes loss
of 100000 during the summer
months because of chick developed
eggs alone. The fertile egg has with
in it the chick germ and when the
temperature Is over 70 degrees that
germ grows. Later when the egg
cools of the germ dies and the egg
soon spoils. The infertile eggs do not
have this germ and will therefore
keep better and hens will lay just as
many eggs without the males.
During Rooster Week" owners of
poultry will be encouraged to get rid
of all surplus roosters and confine
the others for the summer.

QUEST 10 n IS UP
ON STATE AID now

Des Moines, May 21-Can a county
fair association get state aid for a
fair twice in one year by holding two
separate fairs?
That is the latest question to come
before the department of agriculture.
In Allamakee county it is planned to
hold two fairs-one in August and one
in October, at Waukon. The limit Of
state aid is $500, for any one current
year. 1t will probably be found that
in computing the premiums paid as a
basis for the state aid the premiums
paid at both fairs may be taken to-
gether.
But the idea of having two fairs
each year at one place is novel and
the experiment will be watched with
hopeful interest.

A. GUSTAVISON TAKES
OWN LIFE IN ARIZONA

Fairfield, May 21-Relatives and
friends in Fairfield were shocked to
receive message stating that A. Gus
tison, well known Fairfield man, had
taken his own life at his home in
Phoenix, Arizona, where he had been
managing his large farm for almost
two years.
No particulars concerning his death
are told in the message except that
he suffered the loss of large crop of
alfalfa recently and this is believed
to have unbalanced his mind. His
wife and several children reside in
Fairfield and there are large numbers
of warm friends of the family who are
greatly shocked at the news.

Triple Alliance OF.
Paris, May PA Havas dispatch
from Rome says:
THE final document In the Green
book issued by the Italian government
Is the note sent by Foreign Minister
Sonnino to the Duke of Avarna,
Italian ambassador, annulling the
triple alliance. The note, which was
communicated to Baron Burian, Aus
TRAN foreign minister, on May a,
closes with the following statement:
All efforts of the Italian govern
ment encounter the resistance of the
imperial Austrian government which
after several months decides to con-
cede only the special interests Of
Italy in Avlona and to promise insult
f1cient concession of territory IN
Trent-a concession which admits or
no normal solution of the situation
from an ethical. political or military
point of view. This concession, more
over, would not be accomplished ex-
cept at an undetermined period; that
is to say, only at the end of the war.
" In view of this condition Of affairs
the Italian government must renounce
the hope of reaching an agreement and
sees itself constrained to withdraw all
propositions of settlement. 1t Is equal
ly useless to give formal appearance
to an alliance which would be destin-
ed only to dissimulate a reality of con-
tinued mistrust and daily disagree
&c To yh.r to1x
in it's right, affirms and proclaims 1t
will resume from now on it's entire lib
erty Of action and declares null and
hereafter without effect, its treaty
with Austria Hungary"
