For Cattle.

The quarantine which has been
imposed on the Keokuk and Hamil-

the fear of foot and mouth disease,

certify that the animals are free from

IOWA GUARD IN
PREPAREDNESS MOVE
w. e. Price Has Conferred With
General Logan Regarding
This Idea.

That the state of Iowa needs a
we'll equipped aviation section in con-
nection with the national guard, is
the statement of w. E. Price Of
Sutherland, who was in Des Moines
comforting with Adjutant General
Logan last week.
A section in the aviation CORPS IS
composed Of one aeroplane, one
motor truck and one motorcycle. The
section is manned by two commits
stoned officers, four non-commission-
ed officers and four privates. Such
an equipment costs between $4,000
and $4,000.
Such section is now a part Of
the national guard of several states.
In Nebraska private subscription
equipped the section and Capt Ralph
E. McMillen of Omaha is now at the
Curtiss school of aviation at New
port News, Va receiving instruction
which will make him a capable COM
mander.
Both the Curtiss school and the
Grinnell Aeroplane company of this
state have agreed to teach one air.
man free of charge to be assigned to
the national guard.
Mr.. Price is flyer Of considerable
repute. He learned the business at
the Heinrich school at Hampstead
Plains, N. Y. His proposition was
looked upon favorably by General
Logan, who has long wanted an avia-
ton section in the Iowa national
guard. No plan. however, was reach
ed and General Logan refused to &C
cept Mr.. Prices services under the
proposition to furnish his own ma
chine.
Il do not believe that it is fair for
one man to donate a machine cost
ing several thousand dollars and the
work and effort such a proposition
would cost him for the public use,"
said General Logan. I'VE will do
nothing until some means of properly
getting the funds for the addition OF
an aviation section is found
