Thorns Objects to Plans.

. - .
Clifford Thorne, railroad commits
sion chairman, says there is danger
to Iowa shippers that general adj
vance may be made by the railroads
| in demurrage charges, to be in effect
until the war ends. as a method OF
relieving the car shortage. He de-
clares this will be unjust because the
shippers of the vest are not to blame
for the situation.
In his opinion the shortage of cars
is entirely due to the blockade at the
Atlantic ports where they are held up
with shipments for the warning coun-
tries in Europe.
1t is reported that the eastern
roads permit the shippers of muni-
lions from seven to thirty days free
time on freight cars. The Iowa ship

State Owns Record Breaking Cows.
Another state butter production
record has been broken by Mount
Pleasant Girp' OF the herd of Hol-
stems at the state hospital at Mount
Pleasant. According to the report re-
! ceived by Senator McColl of the board
OF control, Mount Pleasant Girl
gave 1862 pounds of milk, from
which was produced 23.115 pounds of
butter in seven days. This beats the
previous record in the junior two year
old class.
| Senator McColl asserts that with
the records being made recently by
the Mount Pleasant herd it will soon
be the most famous herd in the Unit
ed States. Already most of the rec
ords of other states have been brok-
en- by the Iowa cows.

that Iowa suffered from $3.50 fires
during the year just passed. In these
fires buildings and property amount
ing to s6,006,914 were damaged. There
we're 4S6 fewer fires than in 1914 but
the loss of 1915 exceeded that of
1914 by $147,929 Daily loss during
the year checked up to the average of
s16.457. Fire was directly responsible
for LOG deaths. 3S women and As chill

TENTH TROOPERS HEROES.
cavaIrymen Charged Twice Into Jaws
of Death at CarrizaI.


Field Headquarters (via Wireless tc
Columbus, N. M.)-Trapped and fight.
ing against heavy odds, the troops OF
the Tenth cavalry engaged at Carrizal
on the 21st. charged twice directly
into the jaws of the ambush which
the Mexicans had laid for them. With
bullets in his arm and shoulder, Capt.
Charles T. Boyd, the commander, re-
mained in the saddle, leading his ne
gro troopers until they had captured
the concealed Mexican machine gun
trench, when he fell mortally wound
ed, with a bullet in the eye. This was
the gist of the first detailed account
of the engagement from American
sources which was brought to Gen.
Pershing by Corp. Green of Troop c,
who was at Capt. Boyd's side until he
fell.
Piecing together fragmentary re-
ports which have reached field head
quarters, all except twenty-one of the
eighty-four men engaged in the fight
have been accounted for. These re-
ports indicate that thirteen were
killed, seventeen taken prisoners and
thirty-three have come into camp
