WORKER
TALKS AT CHURCH

Mrs. Frances J. Diefenderfer, presi-
dent at large Of the National Order of
Anti Polygamy Crusaders auxiliary to
the National Reform association, gave
two interesting talks at the First
Presbyterian church Sunday. The
theme of her morning talk was Some
National Problems and that of her
evening address, Crusade Against
the Mormon Kingdom. In dealing with
the latter subject she treated it from
a national standpoint, portraying Nor
monism and how this movement is
slowly gaining power, with a view of
overthrowing the national govern
ment. The object Of the association
which Mrs Diefenderfer represents is
to secure constitutional amendment
prohibiting polygamy and regulating
Mormonism. Mrs. Diefenderfer has
made a study Of this question for
twenty-five years and her talks were
stirring and comprehensive to the
large audiences which greeted her.

DEER TROUBLESOME
TO IOWA FARMERS

Council Bluffs, April 20. A new in.
dictment has been found against deer.
several hundred of which infest this
and adjoining counties and are protect
ed by the state game laws.
Farmers have long complained that
the deer damage or destroy their
crops and eat the bark of young fruit
trees. They have repeatedly petition.
ed the state assembly to conflne them
in park or allow their determination
but without avail.
H. Wehlahd, farmer living near
Dunlap, appeals to the authorities for
help. He declares that big antelope
and its mate, which have taken up
their abode on his farm, cannot be
driven off. He wants the county to
pay him for the loss Of valuable colt
which was frightened by the deer run
ming into the stock, which ran into a
wire fence and was injured so badly it
had to be killed.

Grinnell, April 20. Two enterpris.
ing goods, dwellers in the quadrangle
at Grinnell, have set up cafeteria in
their rooms and are doing rushing
business in sandwiches, "Hersheys"
and oranges. They report that the
venture nets them more than enough
to meet their incidental expenses while
at college.
Helen Nichols and Luella Hill, Of
Marshalltown, who room together In
cottage two Of the quadrangle are the
proprietors Of the enterprise. They
established their business soon after
the opening of college last fall and
their store has become regular feat
ure Of the dormitory life, furnishing
lunches at all hours, and numberless
Sunday morning breakfasts. The
reason for the rushing business con-
Quoted each Sunday morning IS that
the dining, hall of the quadrangle closes
at an earlier hour than many of the
girls are want to rise.
The stock of the little store Is limit.
ed, but always Is fresh. 1t is supplied
daily by purchases at downtown stores.
The girls say that the greatest sales
come in the afternoon and that they
sell more "Hersheys" than anything
else, with various kinds of sandwiches
running the sweets a close second. A
counter has been improvised out of a
study table in the girls room and an
attractive display is always shown.
Miss Helen Nichols is the senior
partner of the firm and a junior in the
college. Miss Hill Is member of the

lar in college and Miss Nichols Is an
