WHEAT AND DARDANELLEs.

A writer in the Indianapolis News
points out the intimate relation be-
tween the Dardanelles and the price
of wheat in previous wars. In Aug
ust, 1854, fleet composed of Brit
ish and French vessels, passed the
Dardanelles with the avowed inten-
ton of stopping all exports from
Russia. The prices Of wheat In the
United States Immediately scared to
s2.35 a bushei. And when in 1877
the Russo-Turkish war broke out
threatening and finally accomplishing
the blockade OF Russian ports, wheat
prices again went up at prodigiOus
rate. 1t is evident from these two
incidents that RuSsiafs volume OF
wheat is powerful factor in the de-
termination of world prices. And il
the Dardanelles are opened, there will
probably be a rush to unload hold
ings which win offset the unnatural
prices airing in America out of war
conditions.
There has been much speculation
of late as 70 what will happen to the
price OF wheat If the allies shall sue
coed in their present enterprise With
the beginning of the present bonn
bardment, wheat prices wavered.
and with the news that the allies
we're determined to do their utmost
TO cpen Russia's way to France and
England, wheat declined sharply I'M
ill It had registered total drop OF
thirty cents. How much wheat Rus
sia has u, reserve for foreign ship
nent IS uncertain. As yet she has
had no opportunity to get 1t out, for
as far as Russian shipping Is con-
cerned, the Baltic might as we'll be
frozen over. But il her southern
ports can be opened 1t is confidently
expected that she will throw enough
wheat On the market to crowd Ameri-
can prices much nearer the dollar
mark than they have been for weeks

HARMFUL LEGISLATION.

! The Chase bill which is known as
senate file No. 333 is another of those
| ubiquitous measures which are re-
sponsible for decreasing the popuia-
ton in Iowa and for the defeat of all
those efforts so earnestly and ener-
getically put forth to create "Girsat-
err Iowa" We study and plan and
work and toll for the adoption and en-
forcement Of measures calculated to
promote in all respects the develop
ment of commonwealth naturally the
leader in its class in the United
States. only to have such movements
defeated by such cussed legislation
as the Chase bill. is practically
the old Garrison bill introduced I'M
der another members name. 1t deals
with workmen's compensation ana
will increase the insurance rates
about one-half. 1t Is SO obnoxious
that manufacturers would be hardly
able to operate under its provisions
and If they are able to operate, they
may be compelled to increase the
cost of production so that it might
make it impossible to compete with
competitors, and this would virtually
close their places OF business. Under
the workmen's compensation law,
now In force, the workman is as ia
vorably protected as in the great
majority of states, Iowa standing with
Massachusetts, Illinois, Michigan,
Minnesota and other states.
Isn't it about time for the legisia-
tors to consider the whole welfare of
the state of Iowa. The Chase bill
should be defeated and defeated
promptly. 1t isn't any wonder that
our naturally resourcefui state is not
progressing faster when such bills as

THE FLIGHT OF YOUTH.

THE FLIGHT OF YOUTH.
There are gains for all our losses.
There are balms for all our pain;
But when youth. the dream, departs
1t takes something from our hearts
And it never comes again.
We are stronger, and ana better,
Under manhood's ster7lar reign;
Still We feel that something sweet
Followed youth, with lying feet.
And will never come again.
Something beautiful is vanished,
And we sigh for it in vain;
We behold it everywhere,
On the earth and in the air.
But it never comes again.

FINE AUSTRIAN HOSPITAL.
One Has Been Established in Budapest,
Consists of II Wards.

Venice, April l9.--One of the finest oil
the new war hospitals which have sprung
into being all over Austro- Hungary dur.
ing the past eight months, is the Zita
kurhaus in Budapest. 1t consists OF Il
wards, each separate building. The
site is a large tract of land on the edge
of the city, formerly the property OF
Bulgarian truck farmers.
The whole enterprise, originally de-
signed to house the incoming flood OF
Polish refugees was completed in three
weeks, and the Hungarians point with
great pride to this accomplishment of
their engineering experts. In peace
times" they say, ''such work of CON
struction would have taken at least six
months"
In the center of the Kurhaus grounds
there are extensive gardens, in which
some remarkable planting has been
done.
The kurhaus accommodates over 3,400
patients. 1t has been filled from the
start. No unframed nurses are employ
ed, but volunteer workers, many of them
women of social prominence in Budapest,
are used in the kitchens and Offices. The
Countess Telecki for instance, has
acquired a considerable reputation for
her work at the pastry machines, and

Educational Butter Scoring.

| The fifth educational butter scoring
took place at Morrill, hall at the state
university on Jan. 20. Forty-five sam
pIes of butter were scored, 20 of which
| were from creameries and p from dair-
| les. An increasing interest in the scor-
| ings is evident since a year ago at this
season there were % samples received.
| The creamery butter received the high
average score of 94.42, dairy butter, 92.70,
while the average of all samples was
$3.50 the highest score yet attained with
the exception of the October scoring.
The best piece of butter present received
a score of 97.3. The average moisture
content of the butter 1878 per cent,
was also the highest that has obtained
at any of the seorings. The judges We're

Burlington and A. A. Borland of the

Comparing the scores received this
time with those of year ago by max
ers sending samples regularly, we note
an increase of 70 points in the average
score and an improvement of III per cent.
in the over-run If this improvement
in over-run could be applied to all the
butter made in Vermont, it would mean
an increase OF 3s9.325 pounds OF butter,
worth Sil6,707.50 at 30 cents per pound.
There has been marked improve
ment in the scores received by those
sending shipments repeatedly. The aver
age score OF those sending one shipment
only was %; for those sending two
shipments it was 1921 and 92.i for the
first and second shipments respectively;
three shipments. 92.2, 92.6 and 90; four
shipments, 1927, 1913, a3.6 and 94.4;
five shipments, 1927, 044, 94.6, 95.4 and
90.
The average score of all first samples
received from each shipper regardless of
it was received in winter, spring
summer or fall was 92.33. The average
score of all second shipments from per-
sons hitherto sending was 92.sl, that of
all third shipments 9343. fourth ship
ments. a4.64. and fifth shipments, 90. !

ANOTHER GERMAN SHIP BOUGHT.
Said That Vessel is to Be Used in South
American Trade.

Washington, April 10. American reg.
istry has been granted the steamer Hous.
atomic, formerly the Hamburg American
liner Georgia, which has been laid up al
New Orleans since the European war be-
gan. In announcing the change of regis.
try Saturday, a department OF commerce
statement at Washington, said that the
ship had been bought on March 20 for
$4,000 by the Housatonic steamship
company, of which Edward s. Geer of
New York is president.
1t is understood at Washington that
the Housatonic is to be employed in the
South American trade, and if this is
done officials think her owners may avoid
the difficulties encountered by the Amer
lean purchasers of the Hamburg-Amer
lean liner Dacia, which undertook to take
cargo of cotton from Galveston to Rot
terdam.
While the United States maintains the
right of its citizens to buy belligerent-
owned merchant vessel and put the
American flag on her. France does not
recognize transfer of registry under
such circumstances, and the Dacia is
now held at French port awaiting ac-
ton by prize court. In the negotia-
lions preceding the sailing of the Dacia,
however, it was minated that the al
lied fleets probably would not interfere
with her if she kept out of European
waters.
The Housatonic is a freight ship Of
3l43 gross tons and was built in 1891.
