Unique Origin.
.If sunlight Is such germ destroyer
why don't you plan your hog houses
with a glass roof like that greenhouse
there" innocently asked travelling
salesman OF the agricultural engineer
ing department at Iowa State College
couple OF years ago. He pointed TO
the college greenhouse standing next
to the agricultural engineering build
ing.
And there you have a unique item OF
as ricultural history, for that was the
germ idea which ultimately developed
into the planning and construction OF
the now famous Iowa Sunlit Commun-
ity. Hog house.
The idea. Rrst given merely a pass
ing thought by the agricultural engin-
GERS at Iowa State College because
they thought there would be too much
danger OF hall damage. was later
adopted. The glass area of the roof wa.
reduced two-thiTds and a plan finally
worked out two years ago.
F. F. Silver, graduate in ~ OF Iowa
State College was the first man TO
build a hog house Of this type in Iowa.
on his farm at Cantril. 1t proved an
entire success.
Since that time the sunlit community
hog house has become the most popular
type OF hog house in the state. Thou
sands of blue print plans for this house
have been sent from the college to
farmers not only in iowa, but in every
state in the union. Hundreds Of such

Claiming that he is the champion
corn husksr OF Iowa, Oscar Olson, who
lives on farm ten miles northwest
Of Mason City, authorizes challenge
to all claimants to the title-the con-
test to be for a purse Of a sufficient
size to make 1t an object. This challenge
is especially directed to Cedar Rapids
which appears to be backing one Jameo
Wall OF near Iowa City. Olson made a
record in 1914 during the months OF
October and November when he
husked 1886 bushels in twenty eight
! days, an average Of 1877 bushels per
day. During the week just passed Mr..
Olson husked 946 bushels, being 1877 2-s
bushels per day. six days, nine and
one-half hours per day. ON election
day Mr., Olson expected to set new
worlds record, but was prevented by

ton is in full as follows:
HON. BOARD OF DIRECTORS,
Imperial Irrigation District:
l have heretofore given my opinion
to the Secretary of the District to the
effect that the petition for the recall
OF Director Walter o. Hamilton filed
on September 18th, 1916, was not suf-
fcient in law, and that he was not
justified in reporting the same suffi-
cient to call an election. On last
Tuesday, without asking me for my
reasons, you saw fit to refer the same
matter to Judge Haines for his opin'
ion. am not at all thin skinned
about differences of opinion among
lawyers and it is entirely immaterial
to me whether Judge Haines agrees
with me or not When however Judge
Haines took occasion to lecture me as
to what my duty was and what it was
proper for me to do in connection
with the legal matters of the District
he overstepped the bounds OF profess
sional courtesy and | am justified in
saying that there is not anything in
connection with Judge Haines' work
for the District that lays foundation
for making it appear that his opinion
is any better than mine.
During my absence in Washington
some months ago the matter or just
how our three and one-half million
dollars of bonds should be numbered
was referred to him for his legal
opinion and upon that legal opinion
you have acted and caused the bonds
to be printed. When our bonds were
submitted to the bond expert they
were turned down solely on account
of the manner in which the numbers
were printed and you We're obliged to
reprint them at an extra cost to the
District of about four thousand dol

declare for peace, this in December,

body dare ask US to make proposals
as Mr.. BRAND did recently when he
said that peace now would be consld-
cred as humiliation. The though Of
peace on any provocation is disgrace
tc the memory of the dead, BRAND
said. and that France fights for last
ing peace, freedom from nationalitles
and protection against attacks. This
i. what we want to do. Does BRAND
really believe he can attain this lofty
ideal by war annihilation in which
Frances last youth dies on thedevas-
tated battlefield at Verdun and the
Somme?
"Does BRAND, who united our enc
mics before the war into an alliance,
French, who thirst for revenge, Rus
