BARBECUE rs "a FEATURE

Thursday, May 6, is to be Shriners
day in Burlington. The Mobiles of the
Mystic Shrine, who owe allegiance to
the Temple Of Ell Baaba at Davenport,
ara expected to be there for that &C.
casion without fail. And each and
every member is expected to be there.
AS the district extends west as far as
Creston and south to the Missouri
line, it is clear that a big attendance
is to be expected. The day will be de-
voted somewhat to jollification AID
incidentally to business The Daven-
port contingent is coming down on
the evening Of Wednesday, May 5.
One of the most important of the fea-
lures of the program will be the mi
tiation of class of $3.50 candidates.
There will be big parade and plenty
Of excellent band music. The parade
takes place at 2 p. m. The barbecue
will be given at the baseball park and
will run from to o'clock. From Z
to 8 o'clock the ceremonial session
will take place at the Company H ar
mory on Division and Fourth streets.
All visiting Shriners and candi-
dates will be carried free on the
street cars on that day. The report
has been received that Ottumwa
is coming down in force and is going
to bring down the famous Fffty-fourth
regiment band 1t is quite likely that
other delegations will bring bands. In
fact, it is going to be one of the big
things Of the season, and it is going
to be very attractive parade.
OF course, local committees are 60
ing to keep very busy with the ar
raagements for this big day, and they
are again going to impress upon the
visitors the fact that Burlington is
Just as hospitable as she has always
been, is just as glad to see her friends
and neighbors as she has ever been in
the past. and hopes that she may have
the opportunity of welcoming them
again.
The mobiles of the Mystic Shrine is

life, and gives the most to the world.

Moines, and several other city repre-
sentatives argued that the legislature
ought to allow them to deal with their
problems and to depend upon them
to use the money where it ought to be
used.
Incidentally, Jamison painted Des
Moines as the terminal for all the
peanut politicians" of the state and
declared that the city was overbur-
dened with Office seekers.

the city license clerk gets the same

clerk to the city superintendent OF

Urges City to Economics.
When the city Of Des Moines is
collecting in taxes and fees and spec
ial assessments s1,S96,5ru, and the
whole. state government ~is collecting
only 81 1856, 742. 1t Is time for the CITY
to begin economizing instead of ra's;-
ing the levy, the Sac county man sug-
gested.
Lee also attacked the argument that
the cities need the increase to take
the place OF the saloon revenue. He
itemized figures which brought out the
general fact that in the saloon cities
the millage levy is 1904 mills, white
in corresponding number of dry
cities It averages IS mills, that the
tax in the saloon cities is $3.50, while
in the dry cities it is $6.45 per capita.
Bronson's argument was upon SIM
liar line. He showed how the valua-
ton of property in Waterloo is far
above that in some Of the cities of ap-
proximately the same size which are
now seeking to increase their levy.
..If you'll quit fooling the assessor,
YOU won't need to increase the levy
Bronson declared.

patronfzing storage companies, and safety will be guaranteed.
 The most economical degree Of cold to be used as 8 protection from clothes moths and allied insects de- structive to Woolens and furs has been definitely determined by the careful experiments carried out at the instance of Doctor Howard by Dr. All bert M Read, manager of a large storage warehouse company in Wash ington, D. c. These experiments de- r1lonstrated that a. temperature main tained at 400 F. renders the larval
 or other stages of these insects dor Inant and is thoroughly effective. The larvae, however, are able to stand a
 steady temperature as low as IS de-
 grees F. without apparently experi-
 encing any i'll results. Doctor Reads s
 experiments have extended over two
 years, and his later results as report
 ed by. Doctor Howard are very in
 teresting. They have demonstrated that while a temperature kept uni formIy, at 8 degrees F. will not de-
 stroy the larvae of Tneola bfselHella. or of the black carpet beetle, Ian all formation of a low temperature with a comp paratiyely high one invariably
 results in the death of the larvae of these two insects. For example, if larvae of either which have been kept at a temperature of Is degrees F. are removed to a temperature of 40 degrees to 50 degrees F., they will become slightly active, and, when re- turned to the lower temperature and 1 kept there for a little time, will not revive upon a retransfer to the warm
 CT temperature
 It Is recommended, therefore, that I storage companies submit goods to two or three changes of temperature as noted before placing them perm I anently in an apartment kept at 2 I Itemperature of from 40 degrees te 42 degrees F. The maintenance o1 a temperature lower than the last in; dicated is needless and a wasteful ex ] pense Where the cost of cold stor I age is not an item to be seriousl. lconsidered. the adoption of this meth
 cd for protection of goods during tn I hot months is strongly recomme ended

COUNTY THIS YEAR
County Clerk viii Secure Ac-
curate Data On Total
Amount Of Work Done

Marion county spent total of $751;
922.26 on its roads and highways in the
II months of 1915 up to December /
according to the reports of the office
of County Clerk Gehlhar. In addition
to this sum 15671a days of volunteer
work were contributed by the residents
of the different districts of the county
and 905A days of volunteer work
were done with teams.
A total Of $3.50 yards of gravel
were hauled and spread upon the roads
of this county during this time and co.
1884 yards of crushed rock were hauled
and rolled County Clerk Gehlhar is
at present collecting data from the
different supervisors of the county as
to the amount of work done in their
respective districts but their reports
will not be in for several weeks.
Mr.. Gehlhar is instituting methods to
find out exactly what it costs the
county to place yard of gravel in
any particulaS spot in any particular
road in this cthnty and by his system
he hopes to be able to show the super.
visors how to get the most for their
money. Some supervisors are doing
more work than others for the same
amount but all have different condi-
tions and circumstances to meet in their
own districts. The county court con
siders that it will be Of great value in
estimateing the cost Of rebuilding or re-
pairing any road to know how much it
costs to deliver crushed rocks or gravel
in that vicinity and also the figures
will be of use in comparison with other
methods Of building road.
The total amount expended on the
roads of the county for the first IL
months was apportioned as follows:

Claim Juror Talked.

New York, Nov. 26.-Because, it is
alleged, a juror talked of the case,
there appeared today possibility of a
mistrial in the hearing of the govern
ment charges against officials of the
Hamburg American steamship lines for
alleged customs violations in supplying
German commerce raiders. Counsel on
neither side, however would discuss the
possibility.
The defense, claiming taat the gov.
ernment has proved no conspiracy
against the officials nor against Cap
tain Boy-ed, naval attache of the Ger
man embassy, is considering "stand-
ing pat" without offering evidence.
Boy.ed admits that 81 100000 which
was spent on 10 supply ships waich was
cent out b. the Hamburg American
men was an emergency" fund which
the German government sent.

to classify Boy-ed as one of the al
legged conspirators," Defense Attorney
Rand said today.
"Suppose he did ask that supplies
be transferred to Maria Queszada ?
Does that show any connection Of the
Hamburg American line with her clear
ance papersf"
Rand steadfastly denied that the de-
PENDANTS had anything to do with this
vessel, which has appeared in this case
as clearing out of Newport News as
supply ship for raiders, with Boy-ed as
the paymaster for her venture.
Judge Howe ruled that evidence con-
cerning that vessel will be stricken out
at the conclusion of the government y
case unless the defenders are definitely
linked up with the transaction.
George Atkinson, of Baltimore, who
had something to do with coaling here,
admitted that as fa- as he knew, the
defendants had nothing to do with the
Queszada.
