Des Moines June 3.-Law enforce
torney generals office from this time
on even more so than in the past. With
the special agents granted to this de-
partment by the last legislature and
who have now assumed their work the
attorney generals Office VIII be in
position to carry out this plan.
The new laws with reference to the
sale of Intoxicating liquor will require
much aggressiveness in their enforce
ment and it was with this in mind that
the legislature provided for these spe-
cial agents. They are not only to as
sist in enforcing the liquor laws, how
ever, but all laws. The fact that the
state has the men to assist IN law en-
does not, however, relieve
the local officials Of any responsibility,
according to the position taken by the
attorney general.
1t is the plan Of the state that these
special agents shall cooperate with To-
cal officials and aid them whenever
they are needed. 1t is recognized that
in many localities the services of the
special agents will not be necessary as
lnITdCClOuS OIL tue law are IL l1e illl!Il-
mum and the local officers will not re-
quire the assistance of the state agents.
G.. A. Brunson, of Algona, formerly
sheriff of Kossuth county; George Bid
we'll, Of Des Moines, formerly United
States deputy marshal. and o. o. Rock
of Logan, former sheriff Of Harrison
county, are the new agents. Mr.. Rock
will not assume his duties, however,
until after the first Of next year.
Appropriations for Iowa educational
institutions granted by the last legis-
lature which become available after
July are larger than heretofore and
the institutions are planning to broad
en- out their work during the coming
two years. The state agricultural COL
lege will have about $4,000 more in
ITS support fund than during the two
preceding years and the state univer-
sity will have $17T, 500 more than dur
ing the past two years. The state nor
mall school at Cedar Falls receives an
additional $4,000 for support These
appropriations are for the coming two
years. Ames will have 100000 in its
support fund as compared to $685., 400.
for the preceding biennial period. Iowa
City VIII receive 100000 as compared
y. 10 SoSA,ZVu, anu 1SQar tdllS S.S0,UuU
as compared to 1925, loo.
In special funds Ames will receive
$4,000, the state university $4,000,
and the state normal school $500.
y Ames receives $4,000 from the fed
.raI government during the next bien-
NAL period and $4,000 interest on en-
Iowmenr. The state university VII! re-
ceive $4,000 interest on its endow-
ment.
Ames will expend about s3oO,O 900 in
I its extension work. The state univer-
sity expects to put on some additional
men on Its faculty and broaden it's re-
search work.
A great effort is made on the part Of
a lot Of people who desire to keep In
the Hight to get on a program sup
posed to be in preparation for the
event Of the coming Of the Liberty Bell
to Des Moines next week. AS mat
ter Of fact there will be very little
program. Two or three very short
speeches will be made. Not one Of
them Is TO be over five minutes long,
unless the speaker violates every rule
of decency and direct orders The
chief purpose Of the event is to per-
NIT everyone to see the bell, hence

SO
Dr.. A. E. Kepford, former head Of
the state tuberculosis department, left
today for Goodell to begin his evan
gelistic work. He closed up his desk
at the state house yesterday after nine
years Of labor for the state. The
board Of control had not yet decided
on how to handle the tuberculosis work
in the future but it will be mainly I'M
der the direction of the state board Of
health and probably will take little
different turn for the future. 1t is felt
by many that the work Of thoroughly
arousing the people to sense of their
responsibility in the matter has been
so well done that activity along some
other lines may well follow
