Sioux City, Nov 3O.--While there
seems to be little doubt but that the
legality of the repeal of the Iowa
mulct law will be tested in the Wood
bury county courts and elsewhere in
the state, Sioux City liquor dealers
evidently have little faith in the out
some Of the litigation, judging by the
plans OF many of them to move to 9TH
er territory. This Is especially true OF
the wholesalers, who have large stocks
and have been caught with quantities
Of spirituous liquors in bonded ware
houses in the east.
Every wholesaler in the city. with
the exception of Charles Seller, al
ready has procured new location.
Announcement has been made that

A peculiar kink in the Iowa liquor

terprises. The Iowa supreme court. in
a decision about year ago. held that
| the possession Of United States gov
eminent liquor license by person not
engaged legally in the sale of liquors
was prima facie evidence OF bootleg
ging, and that with that point estab-
lished there was no question as tc
guilt. All federal government licenses
held by Sioux City dealers are good
until July 1. 1916. 1t is considered a
question what would happen to any
dealer who might happen to be ar
ranged for Bookkeeping after the state

Mason City, Nov. 3O.-As a result of
the meeting held here Monday a county
organization was perfected to handle
the seed corn situation for the 1915
crop. Professor Coverdale, of Ames,
was present and perfected the organi-
cation. Cerro Gordo county thus be-
comes the pioneer in this work and at
the present time twenty more counties
in this section of the state are await
ing similar organization and will be
taken care Of just as quickly as pro-
lessor Coverdale can get to them.
Mr.. Coverdale said in his opening re-
marks that the mission he represented
meant dollars and cents to the farm
sers This year, so far as corn was
concerned, was the most disastrous
year this state has ever seen. Re-
Eports Indicated that great portion Of
. the state Of Iowa was without 1916
seed corn. Only q few counties had
enough good seed to supply local de-
mand. Many counties in the state
have asked for assistance in getting
seed corn. Just where this is to come
from is not known. We can't go far
south for 1t or we will get corn that
will not mature in this climate. II it is
possible the seed corn used in this
county should be secured in this
county fit is possible so to do
Sixty Per Cent Seedless.
Direct questions led to the response
that about forty OF the one hundred
farmers present had some or all Of
their seed corn. Five present had
made. tests Of their 1914 crib corn. Re-
ports varied greatly One reported
that SO per cent of it tested good,
others. that it was all bad. Two said
their tests ran about so per cent. One
man well posted in the corn conditions
of the county stated that he thought
that there might be 5000 bushels Of
1914 crib corn part of which might
do for seed.
Professor Coverdale stated that it
would take at least 10000 bushels to
supply the demand next spring for
planting purposes Some had made
test of the corn gathered this fall and
that which was gathered before the
first frost seems to have tested good
Mr. Coverdale recommended that a
careful individual ear test be made OF
all OF ii, and not to be satisfied with
only sprouting test but keep 1t in
until the sprouts were from an inch
to an inch and half long and then
arrive at conclusions whether it was
good or not
The purpose Of the county organi-
cation will be largely to look after the
crib corn of 1914 and see how much of
this is suitable for seed. An expert
will come into. this county next week
and go over the different cribs and
make reports. A. N. Grimm. Of Clear
Lake, was made president of the asso
citation and Charles H. Barber. Mason
City secretary. Two directors were
appointed for each township to make

free, they strolled up Second avenue
and entered the Princess Theater. Only
one thing distinguished these men
from the ordinary citizen seen on the
streets every day. That one thing was
the dark gray uniform worn by the
convicts Of the state reformatory at
Anamosa. The group was in charge of
Mr. Brummet and Mr.. Gavin, both
guards from the reformatory77but their
work seemed to be mainly seeing that
the prisoners got enough to eat and 4
little fun while in Cedar Rapids. The
men were returning to Anamosa from
four months stay at Ame.s, where
they had been doing road work for the
state. While at Ames the men lived in
tents and did their own cooking as any
ordinary road gang would do. Only
one man escaped and there was abso-
lutely no trouble of any kind with the
others.
