BIG PROPERTIES
ARE DISTRIBUTED

Upton, Aug. 15.-Property valued
at $10S.000 has been bequeathed by
Mr.. and Mrs. Grant Carl within the
last week to their four children.
To Clarence was given 100 acres in
Inland township, on which he now
lives. Harry was given 100 acres ad-
joining that of his brother. Mrs Ru-
dolph. Schiele of Iowa township and
Mrs. Harry Stonerook of Center town
ship each received 120 acres located
near the other land but not in the
same township. .&>
Mr.. Carl started to accumulate this
property thirty-four' years ago, at
which time he had 107 acres of unim-
proved land and $1,7O0 in cash. He
was married that year and the large
amount Of wealth gathered represents
much hard work, together with a wise
administration of affairs.
After he acquired large measure
of his wealth, Mrs. Carl inherited S.
500.
Besides the land bequeathed, the
couple reserve 240 acres upon which
they now live.

NEW BUILDINGS !.
PLANNED AT IOWA
HALL OF BOTANY AND GEOLOGY
At STATE UNIVERSITY is
..'.. BEING DISCUSSED.

Des Moines, Aug. 15.--Plans for new
buildings at the State University of
Iowa began to take shape at the last
meeting of the building committee of
the state board Of education.
The next legislature probably will
be asked to approve, plans for a new
hall of botany and geology. The
building will be of firerpoog construc-
ton, with the material and cost de.
pending upon it's location on the cam
.pus. One Of the sites considered is
the present location of the two de-
partments, west of the law building.
1t is expected that the next building
to be erected will be the first wing of
the $35O,000 library building which has
already been authorized by the legis-
lature. 1t will be of Bedford stone,
to cost 100000, and will be directly
east Of the law building. The second
and third installments of the building
will not be constructed for some years.
This was the program favored by
the building committee, but no action
was taken at the time the committee
passed on the new buildings at Ames.
presumably in order that it might be
submitted to the new university pres.

BUSINESS MUST
COMBINE TO GET
FOREIGN TRADE
HEAD OF FEDERAL TRADE COM.
MISSION SAYS LAW MUST
PERMIT BIG ALLIANCES.

Chicago, Aug. 15.--At the close of
the present European war the United
States must have the same size guns
for competing in foreign markets that
our battleships are now equipped
with" according to e. N. Hurley,
chairman of the federal trade commits
sion, in published statement here to.
day. He declared that while congress
has passed many bills which will be
helpful to business after the world
war is over. they will be for naught
unless the Webb bill, now pending, is
also passed. -
3. For years." says Mr.. Hurley's
statement. the nations at war have al
lowed their manufacturers and mer-
chants to combine, forming cartels
and syndicates to compete in the mar.
kets of the world not only combining
in their respective industries in the
different countries, bat nations are
now combining to protect their inter
ests.
With these nations competing and
this great commercial war at hand,
land we all must admit that it is a
battle for supremacy in the worlds
markets. our preparedness must be
on the lines Of not only preparing for
battle. but for commercial warfare.
Our manufacturers and merchants
must have the same size guns as our
foreign rivals possess:
III the Webb bill is not passed and
some immediate relief given to manu-
facturers and merchants OF this
country, nothing can prevent our for
eign competitors from getting more
than their share of foreign business.
1t is not question of clarifying the
Sherman law; it is not question of
changing this law. so that it will at.
feet our business in any way, or al
lowing combines in this country; it is
a question of creating markets for our
surplus products, which means that
every man, woman and child in this
country will be materially benefited.
Congress has passed many bill
helpful to business. They will all be
for naught unless the Webb bill is
passed.

IOWA BEGINS To-
RAISE COFFEE TOO
HAWkEYE SOIL Is GETTING REP
UTATIoN FOR GROWING OF
g. ANYTHING.

Webster City, Aug. 15.-1owa soil
will successfully grow almost any
kind of a crop, but it. has never yet
fee could be produced. Nevertheless
this is not at all an improbability. M.
j. Boughton of this city has genuine
coffee plantation" in his garden this
season and it looks fine. After look
ing over his field" and carefully es-
timating his crop, be thinks he will
be able this tall to harvest" fully a
bushel of coffee-which certainly
ought to place Iowa on the map as
''I And coffee atee'i raising Is no experiment
in Hamilton county, either 1t was
last year that Mr. Boughton first de-
cided to test this climate and soil for
coffee raising. And so he planted
small amount and raised peck. This
year he planted larger area. He
says it is not a difficult matter to
raise coffee and can see no reason
why it can not be successfully and
extensively raised in Iowa. Accord
ing to Mr.. Boughton, the quality Of
the coffee he raises is equal to- that
OF the finest imported coffee. ~
Why Not Tropical Fruits? "
Considerable tobacco has also been
raised hereabouts by some of the old
timers, who prefer to cure their own
weed" If few California or Wash
ington boosters could be turned loose
in Iowa, it is more than likely that
bananas, oranges, pineapples and 9TH
er tropical fruits could be successfully
raised on good old Iowa soil, the like
of which can not be found any other
place on this little old round earth.
Iowa soil, Iowa sunshine and Iowa
people can not be excelled and COM
bination of the three can raise almost
anything that can be grown anywhere.

Board of Education Takes
Action on High School
Question at Meeting
LOOK FOR LARGEST
NUMBER OF STUDENTS
Expect Enrolment Will Be
Greatest in History; Up
to Blackmar and Rice

All ninth grade students will be ad'
mitted to the Ottumwa high school IN
September, according to decision
reached by the members of the board
of education at it's meeting Monday
evening. The high school question
was the chief topic of discussion dur
ing the gathering and it was decided
to pursue the above course only after
every phase of the situation had been
considered The final arrangements
for housing the pupils will be left to
Superintendent H. e. Rlackmar and
Principal w. B. Rice. An eight hour
day may be one of the means adopted
to take care of all the boys and girls
seeking an education. s."
All tuition pupils will also be admit.
te as heretofore, as the board did not
deem it advisabl to refuse them an
admittance to the institution and. re-
ceive all the rest The enrolment
and attendance this fall are expected
to far exceed all previous marks.
~. Record Enrolment
The enrolment during the year 1915
to 1915 was 72O and the average at.
tendance about 600, but it would not
surprise local school officials should
the enrolment be far in excess Of the
500 mark and the attendance also
show a big increase. School will be.

Labor day,
The Center school district, No. l,
adjoining the limits north OF the city,
asked the board to attach certain ter
ritory of theirs to the independent
district Of Otumwa, but the members
decided that on account of the crowd
ed condition of the local school 1t was
not advisable at this time. The mat
ter of renovating the interior OF the
high school was referred to the COM
mittee on the high school building
with power to act.
The coal contract for all the build
ings of the city was let to Dan Shea
on competitive basis with three 9TH
.er firms. The bids were as follows:
Dan Shea, 1872 cents per bushel for
all the buildings: Styre Bros, 1872
per bushel for all the buildings; 9th
ems & Mowery, 10 cents on three
buildings: Roseland Fuel Co., IA cents
per bushel on three buildings.
Miss Lucy Miller of Moulton was en-,
gagged as Spanish teacher for the high |
school, and the resignation of Miss |
Ann Brady of the Garfield school was |
accepted. A years leave Of absence |
was granted to Miss Bess Cremer !
