HOTEL MEN PUT
BAN ON SKIM MILK

Des Moines, May 27.-Hotel and
restaurant men and also boarding
housekeepers can't serve skim milk
to their guests or boarders any more.
If they do they are liable to be arres-
ted and fined by the state food and
dairy department. The milk has to
have at least four per cent butter fat.
The department just prosecuted a
case at Thompson, against Thomas
Eagan, the hotel keeper there, on the
charge OF serving milk that was not up
to the standard required by the state
law. He was tried in the justice court
at Thompson and fined $25 and costs.
This is the first time a ruling has been
secured by the department on this
point. @

an affidavit that the bank never en-.
gagged in stock market transactions
they had perjured themselves.
The defense was that they signed
the affidavit on advice of counsel and
that its intent was to swear that the
bank never had engaged in stock
dealings for itself but not to derT that

WILSON'S WAR POLICY

According as you are friendly or unfriendly in saying it, President Wilson is either victim of circum- stances or he has suffered the fate of the opportunist. There is no doubt that his course at the beginning of the war met the approval of the American people. When the world is shocked by such a cataclysm as ourst upon it in 1914, whatever a nation will do depends upon it's leadership Our leadership, in the shape of Wilson. chose to sit very tight and keep very calm. There is no doubt that at the time that course was generally accepted and approved Wilson reaped the benefit of it's pop ularity In his annual message Ovel I year ago, the most striking point was his declaration that we would not be rushed off our feet by events outside our own borders This too, was applauded

The plat forms were taken up and every bit of available space secured for the danc- CTS.

The grand march start ed promptly at nine with just seventy couples in line Lindstrom's -orches- Ira had prepared special dance mus ic for the occasion and the selections were very highly endorsed by all the dancers. Wall flowers were conspic- uOus by their absence The ladies certainly remembered that it was leap year. It was a revelation to the men how quickly and easily a program may be filled when you know how to go about it. It seemed that every lady succeeded in filling her own and helped to fill many other programs before the fourth dance had been called. The committee on refresh ments came in for a large amount or the praise and were certainly very popular committee. They began serv- ing supper at ten o'clock and served eighteen couples at a time, while the remainder of the dancers kept things going in the dance hall. It was con-

As soon as the defendants learned who was to plead for them, they entered pleas of guilty and paid their fines. Brother Leo Bigley added much to the pro- gram with a well delivered recita- tion. The German in America was the subject for a thoughtful and in- teresting fifteen minute address by Brother w. P. Volta. He spoke of the part they have taken in the de- velopment of trade and science in the United States since the Revo- lutionary period and was much ap- plauded at the close Brothers F. M Gordon and A.
