Party Stops During Night With Friend
at Wapello, Lightning Strikes Barn,
Are Destroyed-Heavy Loss For
Travellers and Their Friends.

Wapello, June SC. B. WEIGH, Of
Burlington, and his family believe
themselves to be the victims of the
most perverse freak Of fate on record
Mr.. and Mrs. R. D. Mccullough, OF
this place, count themselves as running
second in the hard luck race. Incl
dentally John Harris, of near here,
mouras the loss of good barn and g
stack OF hay. and it is possible that the
gate receipts of the Panama-Pac iiic
expositions may be materially reduced,
all because of one stroke Of lightning.
Mr.. WEIGH and his family, their auto
loaded to the limit of it's capacity with
clothing, camping equipment, and other
valuables. arrived Sunday evening
from Burlington. Early yesterday
morning, accompanied by Mr.. and
Mrs. Mccullough in another auto, the
party was to start on an overland trip
to California, where all were to visit
the San Francisco exposition and the
WEIGH family planned 10 remain and
make their home.
Sunday evening Mr.. WEIGH and his
family drove out TO the home of John
Harris to make a farewell call. They
were persuaded to stay over night. The
automobile with its precious freight
of clothing and equipment. all but the
small camping tents, was placed in the
Harris barn.
During the night a storm arose.
Lightning struck the barn and set il
aire. The structure was completely
destroyed So, TOO. was tks antomo-
bile an. the equipment and impedia-
menta for the overland trip. Mr.. WEIGH
estimates his loss at $1,000 without
vesti-e OF insurance. The loss on the
barn is given al about $500 with $500
insurance AS for the overland trip,
that has been postponed, perhaps in
definitely.

Des Moines, June s.-The quarterly
conference of the state board of con-
troll and heads of institutions opened
today for the June session OF two days
Because of other engagements two on
the program sent word they can not
come. One CT these is President Pear
son. of the state college, who was 10
speak of prison reform. 1t Is probable
that Warden Sanders will fill in for this
part of the program. There VIII be an
address tomorrow by Katherine VIII
lams, member OF the state BOARD OF
control for Wisconsin.
The first on the program today was
an address by DR.. Fletcher H. Herald,
who is the state dentist at the school
for boys at Eldora- He read a paper
on mouth conditions and their relation
to the health and development of the
child. one of the most vital questions
before the dental profession and also
before teachers and the public. In his
paper DR.. Herald emphasized the
direct connection between mouth ny
siene and general and particular bodily
made by physicians and surgeons in
regard to bad mouth conditions lessen
ing the resisting power to disease and
fetarding recovery from disease. From
the war hospitals of Europe comes the
repeated assertion that diseased teeth
and mouths reduce a soldiers resisting
power, hence the tiiIieiiaess OF the SUB
Iect.
The state dentist treated in detail of
the Importance of frequent examination
and of course, correction of irregular
and badly developed teeth. Many COM
mon, stubborn diseases, such as
rheumatism, neuralgia. appendicitis.
are known to have their beginning in
neglected mouths. Dentists and physi-
clans are trying to prove to the public
that the mouth condition in the child
Is an important index to his whole
physical status and development. In
this particular field dentist and physi-
clan should work together in intelligent
harmony. Septic mouth conditions are
the cause Of IS per cent OF the surgical
operations performed in hospitals.
Dr.. Herald said it is appalling to
note the conditions Of the mouths OF
boys entering the industrial school.
Practically all are from the cities and
live upon meat diet which Is hurriedly
eaten. Try eating fruit and vegetables
and grow younger, he advised. Bite a
sandwich and F1etcherize it until it
tastes like cake.
DE-. Herrald's experience in the boys
Industrial school has enabled him to
observe widely and carefully in regard
to the deleterious effects of neglect of
mouths in childhood and he advised in
strongest terms more care Of the same.
A slight readjustment as to military
companies will be made in the I. n. c.

1t is probable that Adjutant Genera

Colonel Lucas, of the adjutant gen.

have it decided whether or not there is

They have made promises of organiza-

decided at once what shall actually be
done. Unless Davenport is willing to
make good on the plans for the, third
battery Cedar Rapids stands ready to
organize at once.

The work of the state mine inspectors

trouble is being experienced in the
mines. however. and mine conditions
are reported unusually good.

FREE PORTS =
BUILDERS Of
COMMERCE
CONGRESS SHOULD GIVE THEM
PREFERENCE IN APPRo-
PRlATIoNs.
BY Peter Radford.

This nation is now entering upon
an era of marine development. The
wreckage of European commerce has
drifted to our shores and the world
war Is making unprecedented de-
mands for the products of farm and
factory. In transportation facilities
on land we lead the world but our port
facilities are inadequate, and our flag
Is seldom seen in foreign ports If
our government would only divert the
energy we have displayed In conquer
Ing the railroads to mastering the
commerce of the sea, a foreign bot
tom would be unknown on the oceans
highways.
This article will be confined to a
discussion of our ports for the pro-
ducts of the farm must pass over our
wharfs before reaching the water. We
have In this nation 81 ports, of which
Al are on the Atlantic and 10 are on
the Pacific Coast. The Sixty-second
Congress appropriated over 1,O00,-
600 for improving our Rivers and
Harbors and private enterprise levies
toll OF approximately $50,000,000
annually in wharfage and charges for
which no tangible service is rendered.
The latter item should be lifted off
the backs of the farmer of this ma
ton and this can be done by Congress
directing its appropriations to ports
that are free where vessels can tie up
to a wharf and discharge her cargo
free Of any fee or charge.
A free port is progress. 1t takes
out the unnecessary link in the chain
of transactions in commerce which
has for centuries laid a heavy hand
upon commerce. No movement is SO
heavily laden with results or will
more widely and equally distribute
its benefits as that of a free port
and none can be more easily and ef.
fectively secured.

THE VITAL PROBLEM Of
AGRICULTURE
BY Peter Radford.

There is no escaping the market
problem and the highest development
of agriculture will not be attained
is as necessary for the producer
as land on which to grow his crop.
Governmental and educational insti-
tutions have spent s1s0,O00,00O in the
United States during the past ten
years for improving soil production
and improving seeds and plants, but
very little attention and less money
has been given to the marketing side
of agriculture.
The problem is a monumental one
and one which will never be solved
until it gets within the grasp of a
gigantic organization where master
minds can concentrate the combined
experience and wisdom of the age
upon 1t. 1t is problem which the
farmers, merchants, bankers, editors
and statesmen must unite in solving.
The Farmers Union stands for all
there is in farming from the most
scientific methods of seed selection to
the most systematic and profitable
plans of marketing, but does not be-
lieve in promoting one to the neglect
OF the other. We consider the work
of farm demonstrators valuable and
we ask that governmental and COM
mercial agencies seeking to help us,
continue to give us their assistance
and advice, but we believe that their
influence should be extended to the
marketing side Of our farm problems
also
We cannot hope to develop manu-
featuring by over-production of the
factory; we cannot build up nercan-
tile enterprises by the merchants load
Ing their shelves with surplus goods
and no more can we develop agricul-
ture by Cutting the market with a
surplus of products.
