COMMENT ON 7. R,
French Newspapers Devote
Space to American Situation.
Regret Defeat of Roosevelt;
Germans Flatter Hughes.

Paris. June 12.-Regret is expressed
by the French press over Colonel
Roosevelt's defeat at Chicago.
LOeuvre says: THE most charac-
ter1stic mark of pro-German insolence
in the United States of America is
the1r annexing Hughes without asking
his opinion Hughes has never taken
any side in any foreign policy, always
observing reserve, as was befitting his
position as a judge"
M Renaudel, leader of the Social
lists, says in an editorial in L'Humanite
that the results of the Chicago con-
vent1onS should be a lesson to French
journalists who have chosen to take
part in the presidential struggle.
They have undertaken to express
Frances opinion he continues, with
the result that our adversaries can
represent Roosevelt's check as a check
to France"
Two Columns on Teddy"
Jean Herbette disavows in Echo de
Paris any intention of expressing any
opinion on the internal affairs of the
United States. saying he left that priv
ilcge to Germans whose support is
liz BILE to compromise Hughes.
Hughes he says, lis perhaps less
flattered by the support than the Ger
mans think. The German theory is
that America should interest hersel1
in the war, but such a theory is fata
to America"
Georges Clemenceau in L'Hommt
Enchaine, has two column article
headed Teddy" in which he com
ments approvingly on Colonel Roose
velts program. He dwells on altered
conditions in the world in moderI
| times and says that the close connec
ton of all countries prevents the pos
sibility of isolation.

WANT TO LICENSE FISHERMAN
State Game Warden Wants Legisla
ture to Pass Such Law.

+. c. Hinshaw, state fish and game
warden, recommends in his annual
report, that all persons wishing the
privilege of fishing in the lakes and
rivers of Iowa be required to pay an
annual license fee of 81.
The warden proposes to put the
fishermen on the same basis as the
hunters. The hunters now pay fee
|of 81 annually.
The proposed measure would per-
NIT women and boys under IA to
fish without securing licenses.
The measure to license fishermen
was first proposed four years ago, 1t
then created a storm and the legisla-
ture took no action on the bill. The
state game warden believes that the
sentiment has changed in the mean
time and that there are many per-
sons who now favor the licensing of
fishermen as well as hunters.
BY placing a license tax on fish
ing, the revenue of the state fish and
game department which now is al
most 100000 year, would be dou-
bled, the warden believes.
We are thinking though that sucn
Ian action would create anoIner
storm, and we think rightfully go.
too. We don't believe in this pro-
posed annual license, and don't think
such a law should be passed.

0. O. LOMEN's APPLES WIN.
Get First Prize at Horticultural
Convention in Des MoineS.

! o. o. Lomen, the we'll known fruit
grower, who attended the meeting
of the Iowa Horticultural Society al
Des Moines last week, did just as we
predicted came home with several
good prizes on apples, winning first
in the plate display and third in the
commercial orchard display, whicH
certainly speaks well for Mr.. Lomen
to win these prizes in a state com
petition. c. II. True, of Edgewood
got first in the commercial orchard
display, and second in the plate dis
play.
Iowa farmers and fruit growers
should save thousands of dollars 20
the state annually, which now is
permitted to go to waste in failure
to save a big portion of the apple
crop, w. II. Harrison, assistant state
chemist, said in a paper read before
the convention.
He told the fruit men that they
should use the fruit which now is al
lowed to rot on the ground in MAX
ing apple butter, jam and vinegar.
Although Iowa is sixth among
the states of the union in raising APP
pies, we import apple butter and jam
from Tennessee, which is seven
teenth among the states in apple
production" said Harrison. instead
of TenIe55ee sending products of
this kind to Iowa, this state should
be supplying other states after man
ufacturing enough to supply the
home trade.
Vinegar can be made at a cost OF
Z cents a gallon. Yet Iowa is I'M.
porting vinegar from Michigan at a
cost of 3 cents a gallon, wholesale.
We import other fruit products from
New York. All this should be chang.
ed, for we have plenty of apples and
fruit at home. All we need to do is
to save the crop as is done in other
states
In fruit production Iowa is sixth
in apples, ninth in small fruits, eigh-
teenth in strawberries, tenth in
grapes and third in plums."

at the girls gymnasium of the state
university this week. The popular

STEAL HORSES TO GET HIDES.
Animals Are Killed and Skinned.
Several Valuable Mays Are
Made Away With.

Ottumwa, Ia, Dec. 1S.-Sure
enough horse thieves, whose weap-
ons are lanterns and SINNERS knives
are the latest problem confronting
the local police officials.
The method Of working is simple
in operation. A horse is spotted
by some member Of the gang. After
making sure OF the whereabouts Of
the owner, he leads the animal to
some secluded spot. The animal is
then tied up until late hour, usu-
ally l or O'Clock in the morning
1t is then killed and skinned The
work is done by fire or lantern light.
The carcass is left on the spot, AMI
more than one owner has found his
noble beast of burden a mere car
cass. While most of the animals
stolen have been of comparatively
small value, one or two very good
horses have been taken.
Chief Gallagher is confident he
knows of some Of the members of
the gang, and is equally as confident
he will be able to apprehend them
Transient campers and horse trad
ers are also closely watched of late.
The skins, seldom worth more
than SIS or SO, are not sold in this
city but are taken elsewhere This
makes it very difficult to apprehend
the thieves. The one hope of the
police is to catch the men skinning
or stealing the animals.
