Praises President Wilson.

May PRESIDENT wilson, the exalted
citizen at the head of the United States,
be crowned in his sublime endeavor
with lasting success"
Dr. Mendenhall spoke at length upon
the administrations of the various su-
perintendents of the survey, and praised
the force in the Office here. saying that
without them no superintendent could
succeed.
Dr. f. Lester Jones, superintendent of
the survey, was the POSTMASTER. and
during the evening read a number Of
kilograms from captains of survey YES
sells in various parts of the country,
from those in charge of the land sta
tions of the survey and others not con-
nected with the service, congratulating
the survey upon its centenary.
There was a distinguished gathering
of scientists. government officials and
employees of the survey around the
banquet tables. Besides the speakers.
there sat at the head able Assistant
Secretary Roosevelt of the Navy De-
chairman of the House committee on
appropriations: Representative Mann.
House republican leader, Representa-
tive Adamson of Georgia, chairman of
the House committee on interstate
commerce; Senator Poindexter, Senator
Robinson. Senator Salisbury, Gen.

Keeps Scientific Opinions to Himself

The President launched into a humorous
vein for while. saying that he had been
associated the greater part of his life
with men of science, and that through
that associa ton he had learned to keep
his opinions on science to himself
Secretary Redfeld reviewed the work
of the survey and told of the poor con-
ditions under which it was compelled TO
work. because of the 'meannesses' of
Uncle Sam.
He said he had been asked when the
york of the survey would be done. and
sfs answer was that when the ocean
currents cease to flow. the Mississippi
river ceases to deposit silt and when the
earthquakes stop.
The Secretary said that what a naval
officer was ourt-martialed for The men
of the survey sought. 1t was the bottom
of the waterways. The place that the
battleship hates-the bottom-he said

Survey Building moral Influence

survey bu1lQ1ng moral 1nuuence.
OF the building in which the men of
the survey were compelled to work, he
said it was moral because it kept the
men from unloading themselves of pro-
family; it is spiritual because there is
nothing tangible about it, and in the work
of precise leveling' it had sixteen levels
divided between four floors.
He told of the poor vessel equipment,
saying that at the prevailing high cost
of ocean-going vessels at this time, he
had disposed of three sea going vessels
of the survey for less than $1,000. land
that was manifestly more than they were
worth.
The Secretary said that the survey
was compelled to do its work with less
vessels now than it did it in 1S4s, de-
spite the fact that the amount of work
had increased, and one or possibly two
of these vessels were built especially
for the survey work.
Secretary Daniels said that in the bat
ties of the future the air would be
used, and he looked to the survey to
chart the air as it had the waters so
that the aeroplanes could miss the
pockets and hit the enemy"
DIR. Ritter spoke at length on Ferdi-
nand Rudolph Hassler, founder of the
survey, and in concluding, turned to
the President, bowed and said: Our
two countries, though separated by the
oceans, are today pursuing the same
great aim and goal-peace.

SIX REASONS FOR
USING HOG CHOLERA
SERUM OUTLINED

| For number Of good reasons the
animal husbandry section of the Iowa
agricultural experiment station uses
standardized and tested anti hog chol-
era serum, but, principally:
Because they find that it insures
against cnoiera. Before they started
the simultaneous treatment, each year
number of hogs were lost from chol-
era. The disease was thus spread here
and there thru the lots. Since using
the serum and virus no such difficulty
has occurred, except in those pigs left
as checks which were not sinoculated.
These all died.
Because 1t is good business policy to
protect the herd:
Because q helps them TO protect
their neishbors against the spread Of
cholera.
Because 1t enables them TO carry on
experimental work which otherwise
would be hazardous and perhaps i'm
possible.
Because it saves money in the long
run and that, after all, is big point.
Because 1t enables them to sleep
HIkULSs EeAuSuk tHdt lHes VII Aos
awaken the next morning to find q
bunch Of cholera pigs on the college
farm.
Tested serum and the right kind Of
virus IL always used The pigs at the
college are inoculated at weaving time
and are not starved during the inocu-
lation process. II they are not fed
just the evening and morning before
incubation it .is only to make them
handle better. AS soon as inoculated
they are placed on regular feed, gen.
orally on sslf-feeders, except at the
time mentioned.

FORD TO APPEAL TO HARDING.
Friends of Self Confessed Murderer
Circulate Petition.

Sioux City, Nov. %. - Friends OF
Charley Ford. who is serving a thirty
year sentence in the Fort Madison
prison for the murder of Roy Morley,
have started the circulation of petit
ton asking the governor of the state
TO pardon the former Fifth ward poll
tician and saloonkeeper.
The petition probably will not be
ready for presentation to the governor
until w l.. Harding, governor elect, is
in the governors chair. Recently eff
forts We're made TO have the board OF
parole pardon Ford but the attempt
was unsuccessful.
Ford finally pleaded guilty to murder
after denying for weeks that he had
anything TO do with the robbery OF the
Farmers and Merchants Bank OF
Greenville and the muir der of Morley,
one of the robbers, the following night
The Ford gang thrilled Sioux City for
months. both before and after the
members We're arrested. ...
During the time that Ford was in the
county Jail awaiting trial, Mr.. Harding
was acting counsel for both Ford AND
Paddy Driscoll, Ford's right hand man
Driscoll was convicted of robbery anc
is now serving a twenty-year term 1T
prison.
If Ford's friends go thru with theil
plans to ask the governor of the state
for a pardon, it will be up to the sell
confessed murderers chief counsel tC
pass on this question. Altho the board
of parole has authority the governor
il oftentimes appealed to TO lend MS
Influence" in having PARDON
granted.

A common mistake In handling boars
is to begin heavy service with them at
too early an age. says an instructor
in the animal husbandry department.
at Iowa State College. Altho no rule
can be laid down to apply In allscases.
Stree the time to begin service de-
ponds largely upon the development Of
the boar, ordinarily he should be used
very little before he ID = year old and
never before eight months.
Excessive service before maturity
vail tend to shorten a boar's period OF
usefulness. One service q day Ia very
satisfactory but II the boar is in proper
condition he may serve two sows 8
day for . short period only fss
A clean pen. where the boar can
get plenty of clean water and have the
run Of small pasture OF clover, al
falfa or rape. Is desirable. When on
pasture Of this kind, feeding Of a little
Germ will keep him in good shape.
A week or so before the breeding
season begins, one of the. following
protein supplements should be givens.
Skim milk. shorts. middlings, bran,
tankage or oil meal. GaB
Altho the feeding Of boar must be
governed by his condition, 1t IL best
to remember that sudden changes
should not be made in his ration and
that he should always be started In
plenty Of time to prepare for the
breeding season. ss

COMMUNITY ICE HOUSE.
FOR FARMERs WOULD ~
SAVE MONEY AND LAHoA

4 In many localities in Iowa com
munity ice house would be very prac-
t;cable, says the head Of the agricul-
tural engineering department at Iowa
State College. Especially where sew
eral farmsteads are located 50 that q
large ice house might be erected at a.
| convenient point, centrally located,
such storage house would prove
valuable.
In the first place, the handling Of ice
ia something that requires the work of
several men and teams ut Just the
| right time OF year. Farmers could co..
| operate in filing one large house and
| thus save extra labor and expense.
Moreover, one of the objections to the
| small ice house Is that almost as much
| work is necessary in storing up enough
ice for one family as would be required
for several sss
In the second place, ice melts much
less rapidly In a large house than In
small one. The losses due to melt
ing are almost In direct proportion to
| the outside surface Of the house COM
pared to the storage Space. II . lASge
house this area IL comparatively much
less than In q small one.
AZ regards summer storage In the
home. it IL suggested that the use OF
&c. boxes or refrigerators of large size
are much more satisfactory than cool
ing rooms in the ice house itself The
CONSTRUCTION ~of Zee storage houses Is
not fully developed to meet Iowa rec
quirements. A number of experi-
mental ice houses have been built and.

devoted considerable time to the Sub

OVER MoTHER's Do0v

Dubuque. Nov. 2S.--Since the state OF
Iowa abolished the saloon and the town
of East Dubuque H., became the oasis
of thirsty Dubuquers and others resid-
ing in dry territory, thsre have hap
pened many and sundry accidents ana
hundreds of mean actions have been
perpetrated, but the stunt that Du-
buque man and his wife pulled off with
the Dubuquer's own mother. reported
Tuesday. is in thetopinlon of all those
who have heard OF it. the worst and
meanest act that has yet been per-
Ietrated. h
Mr.. and Mrs. j. King and MIR. King 8
mother were seated in wagon return
ing from East Dubuque the three VI
them on the one seat. King sat in the
middle and drove the team, his wife on
one side and his mother on the other.
Suddenly the mother, who is more
than 10 years old. fell off the wagon,
or was showed of, and fell beneath the
wagon. The; wheels of the heavy ye-
hicle. made heavied because of several
kegs Of beer that King had in the
wagon passed over the woman's body
and left her PROSTATE on the bridge.
Dubuque East Dubuque high bridge.
The son did not stop his team. nor
did he as much as turn around in
his seat, both he and his wife keeping
their faces straight ahead.
A Union Electric Company jitney
bus following behind the King wagon
slowed up when 1t reached the 0la
woman and one Of the passengers got
out and helped her In the bus. Other
passengers requested the bus driver
to overtake the King wagon. which ne
Cid al the Dubuque end Of the bridge.
Indignant passengers left the BUS
and asked King what he meant by not
stopping to help his mother back into
the wagon. King evidently beileVlns
that no one saw his actions denieu
that any one had fallen from the
wagon This SO enraged one OF the
men present, who had Witnessed the
whole thing, that he administered
terrific beating to King.
In the interim an East Dubuque po-
liceman who knew the elder Mrs. klnS
took charge Of her and guaranteed that
she would receive medical attention,
and King and, his wife We're allowed
to proceed on their journey.
Mrs King was later examined ana
found to be uninjured with the eXcep-
ton of several bad bumps and bruises.
Public feeling ran high for time
and for few minutes II was leared
that King might be punished by moo
of angry men. but thus far he mas es-
capped additional violent treatment.

FARM HAND WANTS OVERTIME.
Novel Suit Brought in Court at Man.
chester.

Manchester, Nov. 25.-Are we com
G to an eight hour day for the hired
an? Is the old system Of arising at
a. m. and blowing corn until the
ioon is up going out of fashion?
These inquiries are prompted by
s,ancing over a petition which has
been filed with Clark Stanger in which
Clarence Rowland, farm hand who is
also a minor, seeks to recover $9o. o
from Frank Brady. Rowland, by his
next friend, E. C. Rowland, alleges that
on March 16, 1916 he hired out to Bra
dy for a period of nine months. his
wage to be s35 month. On the Gath
of August. however the young man
rescnded the contract and threw up
the job. claiming that there is still due
him the sum mentioned above.
In his petition young Rowland
claims that Brady required him to
work unreasonable hours; how he COM
planned to his employer without effect,
and asked him to reduce the working.
which was refused. Therefore, finding
the situation too arduous for comfort
he resigned and now wants the court
to compel Brady to come with back
pay alleged to be due.

recommends the following recipe
for war cake:'
Materials necessary are one cup OF
brown or willie sugar, one cup hot
water. one-half cup lard, two cups
raisins. one-fourth teaspoonful salt.
one teaspoohful cinnamon, one tea
spoonful cloves, one teaspoonful soda
and three cups flour.
Put together all the ingredients ex-

cool. When luke warm, sift in -four
and soda Mix we'll. Bake about an
