Ames, June IA suit which may
develop somewhat Of a sensational
nature before it is ended, was filed in
the Polk county court by E. r. Sill
man Of Colo against DR.. J. 1. Gibson.
state veterinarian, S. A. Court, John
r. Dale and the Iowa Livestock In
surance Company, in which Silliman
asks for an accounting of the sales of
stock of the company.
In his petition, Silliman sets forth
that in November, 1913, he entered in
to an agreement with Gibson and
Court for the organization Of the
Livestock Insurance Company. Two
hundred shares of the stock at par
value Of 500 each were sold to Sill
man, Gibson and Court at s110 per
share. He says the state veterinarian
and Court arranged to resell these at
a profit and the defendants as trustees
undertook to sell and did sell all Of
Silliman's portion. except two shares.
Silliman further states that the de-
PENDANTS have failed to account for his
stock and have only paid and ac-
counted to him for two shares. He
charges that he has repeatedly asked
for an accounting but has not been
able to secure it. Now he tells the
court that he believes there is $4,000
due him and asks the court to order
an accounting and render proper judg-
ment.
Sillman whose home is in Colo, is
former member Of the board of
supervisors Of Story county, and is one
of the prominent livestock men of the
state. He is at present field man rep

best of feeling appears to exist between the French and German soldiers, who for weeks have, faced one another on the long line between Nieuport and BeIfort.
 So close are the camps to each other that it is possible for the two forces to exchange words. They indulge in friendly contests, shooting at spade tar gets. with no intention of hitting any one, and competing for hares. which run between the lines.
 IA French soldier writes of these atnusements:
 1 "A target is painted on a spade and moved through our trench in such a way that 1t shows about two feet above the ground. The Germans shoot at it. With stick we indicate the results or their fire, and when one hits the bulls eye he is rewarded with the waving of a French flag.
 ~There is another sort of target prac- tice which is very popular. The region around US is full of cabbage fields and

the cabbage fields are full of hares and rabbits. These hares sometimes cross our own private meadow. Immediately both trenches are all afame. Long sounding voIleys follow the poor little beast He makes a graceful soner-5 sault. throws his ears up in the air and falls a martyr to Europe's mi1itarisn.
 Then comes the time to divide our spoils. If BTe'r Rabbit expires on the German half the custom of the country prescribes that a German may leave the trenches and get the prize. That day the German cave dwe11ers eat hasenbraten.' If the animal dies on our side we delegate a man to fetch him and we eat Iievre farrell But if he should die most inconsiderately right on the line then there is trouble. We both rush for our meal while terrific fire is opened, and we run the risk of being killed by friend as well as by enemy.

his bat has this appearance of extreme facf1t y=to snch a degree, indeed. that his style seems almost casual and care less. The distinctive trait-of his cricket Is an electric qutckness both in the con- eeption and execution of his strokes. Thereby is he able to do such things that a slower eye and wrist dare not attempt. In making the ordinary strokes he differs from the run of bats
 men in that he Judges the flight of the ball about half as soon again and can therefore shape for his stroke more readily and with more certainty. At sElaee same line he need not owing to his fosas@rap pidIty Of FaoVeInent. allow himself as much margin for error as others find necessary and it is this quickness that enables him to take. even upon the fastest wickets. the most unheard of liberties without fatal re- suits
 Who, for instance but Ranji can hit across fast straight ball without either being bowled or making an ap- palling miss hit? Yet Ranji finds not the slightest difficulty in doing so- This hook is perhaps his most notable stroke. He has miraculous knack of timing the ball accurately from the pitch and Hicks it round to the onside with sup pie yet terrific power. He meets the slightly overpitched delivery. with a similar hit, reaching right out so as to clip the ball before it pitches. There never has been a greater master of cut ting and leg play. In cutting his facul- ty for quick and accurate timing gives him the power of varying and placing bis stroke, as well as of making it with force and precision.
 His leg strokes are sometimes called 'glances,' but they are really wrist strokes. the ball does not merely hit the bat, but it is turned aside with a like forcing movement His forward play is somewhat unorthodox, as he walks out to the ball as he hits, but it is none the less strong and safe. He can drive finely in all directions when. in the mood; indeed, at his best, he can use every stroke in the game.
 He is a beautiful fielder in any posi- tion. He excels at point or in the slips, where there is scope for his quickness. but as he can pick up a ball very clean. catch anything and throw we'll he is almost equally good as extra cover or in the long field. His bowling is somewhat underrated. He rarely goes on without getting a wicket or having a. catch missed off him. He bowls dium pace. keeps a good length, makes the ball break from the off and has plenty of resource. He is the keenest of cricketers, very observant, and is also first rate judge of the same' WILLIAM SCOTT.

Iubereulosis Fight Nation Wide

HERE are indications that the
 coming year will be the big
 gest year in the history of this
 country in the fight against tuberculosis. Six years ago there were but two open. air schools where the great white plague was systematically fought Now there are more than five hundred. The Red Cross seal campaign which opened on Dec. 1, has been very successful despite the added demands due atosthe- great war in n9Europe.
 Wherever the fight against tubercu- losis is waged the name and praises of pr. Robert Koch are sung. Dr. Koch was one of the pioneers in the Syste- matic campaign against the dread dis ease. He lived to see some of his pet projects carried out. He visited prac- tica1ly every civilized and uncivilized country in the world on behalf of the German and foreign governments in search of the causes of and weapons against epidemic diseas- He was awarded the Nobel prize of $5o,Ooo for his discovery of the antitoxin of tuber- culosis. His discovery of the germ of the white plague won him distinction throughout the world.
 One of the leading physicians of the country recently defined the two factors in the perpetuation of tuberculosis as:
 'fFirst.-The fndividuaPs makeup or constitution or a temporary state of the body. which makes him either cortinu- OuSly or at times SuScept1Dle to the dis ease. This is called disposition.
 "Second.-The presence of the bacil- Jus in his surroundings, which, if he cannot escape it, is his compulsory milieu-this is included in the term ex- posture. The sources of infection to which man is exposed are other tuber- culosis human beings and tuberculosis food"
 He outlined the regulation of dwell ing houses. the protection of workers in factories and elsewhere against dust and other mediums of danger, the regu- lation of the hours of labor and the enforcement of the greatest possible cleanliness as means of limiting dis position" while diminishing "exposure.' He also touched upon the safeguarding of the food supply. especially milk and meat, from the tuberculosis bacillf, upon the necessity of the general irn- provement of the nutrition of the peo- pie at large and the power of the gov ernmenta1 authorities to minimize the danger of infection in schools and pub lie buildings and to increase the ability to resist the disease in individuals by substituting ptivate efforts to encourage
