FEDERAL APPROPRIATION
or 10000 RECOMMENDED
Means IT Recreation as Well As Pro-
Htabls Eeopemieally-WouId Make
Variation Of Meat Supply For Farm
= ere T.hle and Develop Clam and
Turtle Raising.

Davenport, Jan. PA fish pond on
honest agriculturist can raise catfish,
trout, clam shells for chicken grit,
pearls for Christmas presents, and
where he can find healthful and en-
pertaining means of recreation on the
hot summer days is the vision of Presi-
dent j. e. Krouse, of the Davenport
Pearl Button Company.
Mr.. Krouse In a letter to President
Dawson of the Farm league, urges that
the Farm league do its part in work
ing for federal appropriation Of
$4,000, half Of which would be spent
in perfecting means of raising fish
on the farm. The farm league execu-
tive committee composed OF Bruce T.
Seaman, Charles Lau, Chris Marti.
Richard Schmidt, A. F. Dawson and G..
r. Bliss, delved into the matter yes
terday, but did not put the seal of its
approval on the project.
Money Producer.
But the alluring appeal of fish
pond on every farm was ably set forth
by the Davenport manufacturer. He
told how a man by using team and
a scraper for two days could hollow
out Of Mother Earth a hole deep
enough to provide a safe retreat for
the rayenous carp, the sluggish cat
fish and the gay and festive trout how
he could plant the right kind of moss
in it to keep the water clear and raise
fish to sci! at 20 cents a pound or to
use on his own table, providing ode
sirable variation of the meat supply"
consisting chiefly at the present time
Of pork and chicken.
Bush fish farming is not the only
part Of Mr. Krouse's vision. He sees
the growth of clam and mud turtle
raising in which the shells can be
ground up into chicken grit selling at
from Is cents to $1.25 a pound ans
the clam meats can be used for poultry
food.
Sport Of Angling.
And then, concludes Mr.. krouse,
there Is the ancient Waltonian sport
of angling, suitable to every member
Of the farmers family. 1.-THE advent
of time and labor saving equipment
says Mr.. Krouse, lis bringing the
farmer to realization Of the benefits
Of recreation, and that recreation is as
needful and helpful In his case as it
is to the official chair-warmers of ouc
public Offices"
Bruce T. Seaman brought out the
fact that fish farming underwent a
great boom in Iowa 40 years ago and
that many farmers dug ponds on their
places and began the propagation of
the finny tribe. only to discover after
a few years that raising corn and hogs
was much more profitable.

$4,000 Modern Building.

Contract Awarded For Construction Of
$4,000 Modern Building.
Special to Times Republican.
Grinnell, Jan. 1.-THE announcement
was made yesterday by President Main,
of Grinnell College that the contract
for the new alumni building. which
has been an assured development for
almost year, has been let and the
| work of construction will commence at
once. The contract has gone to the
Bailey Marsh Company, Of Mime
apolis, who recently completed the
work on the women's quadrangle and
calls for the completion of the build
| ing by the opening Of college next
September. The construction will
cost $4,000.
| The ground was staked off the first of
. this week, and the plans and specidca-
+; tons of the building are now in the
hands of the architects, Proudfoot,
Bird and Rawson, Of Des Moines. for
| final revision and correction. Presi-
dent Main states that actual work on
the building will commence as soon as
! this revision is completed.
When finished the alumni building
will be the largest of it's kind on the
| campus. It is to be built directly
north of the library and will be used
| exclusively for recitation work which
| is now carried on under somewhat
crowded conditions in library recitation
rooms and in Chicago Hall. the adj
| ministration building. All non -labora-
| tory courses are to be conducted in the
new building. The plan is to connect
! the new structure and the library by
passageway or corridor thus afford
| ing an easy means of communication
| between the two However, the plan.
for this feature are not fully worked
out.
The letting Of the contract comes as
a welcome surprise to Grinnell students
as it was not thought the campaign
had progressed to such an extent and
the new building will fill long felt
want in the college.

out q larger supply OF potential officers
than all other sources combined, In
GLIDING West Point and the entire
army" said Mr. Vrooman. In time
OF war the greatest and most difficult
need Is sufficient quota of properly
trained Officers. Private soldiers can
be trained in a few months. Munitions
can likewise be turned out in short
order 1t takes years to recruit and
train a corps Of officers capable Of
drilling and leading troops"
Secretary Vrooman came out strong
ly in favor Of more preparedness. He
favored the Switzerland plan as being
the best suited for the United States.
Belgium. he said, would never have
been crossed IL her frontiers had been
as well protected as those of Switzer-
land
"The United States Is right now just
where Belgium was is the way Sec
rotary Vrooman sized up the present
situation. 1--WE have no navy at pres
ent, as some fondiy imagine. We have
lot Of battleships that would be USE
less in either offense or defense be-
cause there are no auxiliary ships to
go with them. Battleships do not
make navy
Creation of an auxiliary marine is in
Vrooman's opinion, one Of the greatest
problems to be solved in working out
a system Of national defense. He
does not believe in the government
building costly fleet to lie in idle
ness, nor does he believe in building
up powerful private interests by sub
sides. His solution rather is to have
a government controlled merchant ma
rine that can be called on for service
at moments notice. He Endorsed the
McAdoo bill now before congress, aim
ing toward this latter plan.
