INTEREST KEEN IN
AER0PLANE CORPS
MANY LETTERS FROM PEOPLE
OF IOWA ARE BEING RE-
#. CEVED By LOGAN.

Des Moines. April 25.--Interest in
aeroplane corps is apparent from the
letters which come to the adjutant
generals Office of the Iowa national
guard. Those letters do not come
from adventurous enthusiasts either,
but from progressive and successful
business men. Just Monday Adjutant
General Logan received a letter from
business man who expressed his
views on the establishment Of an
aerial corps.
General Logan feels that the Iowa
guard should have an aerial corps but
there is no way in which the equip
ment could be secured unless the war
department should arrange to provide
the machines. Each operator should
have at least two machines. 1t would
be great help If the guard had two
trained aviators, each with two ma
chimes A machine costs $4,000. Be-
sides that a truck for carrying the ma.
chine and to use in starting Is neces-
sary. So if the state had two avi-
ators properly equipped their machines
would cost $4,000 and over
Aviation is not particularly hazard
Gus in General Logans opinion. The
accidents for the most part occur in
fancy flying or in attempts for rec
ords, he says. The Wright brothers
have been following the business for
years without serious accident, he
says, and with the success which
manufacturers are achieving In per-
fecting the machines the hazard in
aviation is being constantly lessened.

BEGIN FIRST WORK
ON NATIONAL PARK

McGregor, April, 25--The first land
scaping that has been done on the
national park site was the plotting OF
McGregor heights and laying out a
scenic drive which has just been COM
pleted by w. s. Bickel of Cedar RAP
ids, engineer, assisted by H. B. Min
ert, a Waukon surveyor. Fifty new
lots for summer cottages have been
plotted and curved scenic motor
road laid out. The lots all face the
drive and lie about park in the CEN
ter. Every lot commands beautiful
view and has been so plotted that
the fine trees and the Indian mounds
will be preserved. The lots are to be
placed on sale and it is expected that
quite number Of new cottages will
be erected. The Heights is supplied
with city water, electric lights and
telephones.

NEW INDICTMENT
AGAINST THE DEER
ANIMALS WHICH ARE PROTECT.
ED BY STATE GAME LAWS
ARE BECOMING NUISANCE.

Council Blusff, April 25.-A new In.
dictment has been found against the
deer, several hundred of which infest
this and the adjoining counties, and
are protected by the state game laws
Farmers have long complained that
the deer damage or destroy their
crops and eat the bark off young fruit
trees. They have repeatedly petit.
toned the state assembly to confine
them In park or allow their extermi.
nation, but without effect.
Dunlap, appeals to the authorities for
help He declares that a big antelope
and it's 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 a valuable
colt which was frightened by the deer
running with the stock, which ran into
wire fence and was injured so badly
it had to be killed.
Mr.. Wehland says he cannot turn
his cattle into his pasture because
the deer brighten them so. This is
the first time such an incident has
ever been reported. for it is common
sight along the Missouri river bottoms
to see scores of these antelopes run.
ming with the cattle in the pastures,
but Dunlap is little removed from
the main habitat Of the deer.
A recent estimate on this herd is
that there are between 400 and 500
of them.

Medical examiners for the United
States marine corps assert that men
are taller in the morning than they
are at night. They explain this by
saying that the discs of cartilage be-
tween the vertebrae of the backbone
yield considerably to the pressure
caused by the weight of the body
when it Is held upright for any con-
siderable length of time. When re-
cumbent the cartilage expands again
and increases the length of the body.
The difference in man of average
height may be as much as half an
inch. SAYS the examiners.

HELP THE Y, M. c. A.


Tomorrow you will probably be
called upon by solicitors from the Y.
M G. A. and asked to help that insti,
tuition make up its budget for the en-
suing year.
II you have given the matter any
thought 1t Is probable that you have
already made up your mind to give to,
ward the cause, thereby making a
profitable investment in young men,
for that is what money put into the
Y. M. G. A. amounts to.
But II you have not so decided, then
consider these facts:
The Ottumwa Y. M. G. A. Is a power
for good in the community; it is doing
good work among the boys and young
men of the city.
The association Is not self support
ing for were it to charge its members
enough to make it so 1t would bar
from membership many desirable
boys whose parents would be unable
to pay the increased cost.
Good management has made the
association about as near self sup
porting as any good association in the
country. 1t now pays three-fourths
of it's running expenses and upkeep
charges. Last year the figure was
flve-sevenths.
And lastly, the institution is keep
ing within its budget and not running
behind
Consider we'll the good work that
the Y. NJ. G. A. Is doing and don't
keep the solicitors waiting for your
subscription.

GRAZING IN FORESTS.

The forest reserve of the PUBLIC do
main might be called grazing pre-
serves" without it being misnomer.
New Mexico official reports show
that 36O,325 cattle and 1,219,762 sheep
were shipped out of that state in 1915
and that most of these were grazed
on public lands. especially in the ma
tional forests. On the forest ranges
the forage crop is as much an object
of care as the timber crop and Is in
creasing as result of scientific meth
DDS of propagation.

War PROTECTION.

The American Wooden Co. of Bos
ton and the Arlington mills Of Law
renee Mass, have announced thai
they will pass to their employees
share OF their war order prosperity
in the shape of an increase of 10 PEI
cent in wages. This will anec!!
$4,000 operatives in the former ano
1000 in the latter company. This IN
crease does not represent all that tne
wooden mill operatives have gained
as result of the increased prosperity
growing out of the war boom. On the
first Of the year they were granted an
increase Of per cent. Wages IN the
textile trades are now rs per cent
higher than formerly.
For the first time in its history the
American Wooden Co. paid in 1913
IL per cent on its $20,000,O00 of com
mon stock. In 1894, under the I'm
derwood tariff it paid regular dividend
on the preferred stock out OF surplus
it's earnings not being sufficient.
The European war not only acted
as a protective tariff on manufactured
woolens. but our exports to the bellig
erents have increased beyond all cal
culations. During the calendar year
1918 we exported manufactures OF
wool to the value of $4,6o0,o0o. In
1914 with five months of war, they
reached $12,5o00OO, while in 1915 they
reached the unprecedented value OF
s$42,6OO,OO0. Blankets, uniforms, ETC..
formed the bulk of these exports and

by various machines, while string
beans require separate machine for
every process. from the stringing and
cutting into even lengths to the final
packing after they are blanched and
parboiled. Tomatoes are first placed
under coring machine which removes
the core neatly without breaking the
fruit, after which they are scalded and
the skin is pealed off by another ma
chine. More hand labor is used in the
preparation of tomatoes than in any
other vegetable, but experiments are
now being made with new machinery
designed to eliminate as much of 1t as
possible. ....
At present experiments are being
made toward perfecting the canned
goods container, which is a very i'm
portant factor in the preservation of
the food. At one time the Gamers lost
good deal of money by reason of the
fact that certain fruits and vegetables
which they put up, such as cherries,
plums. berries, pumpkin and hominy,
contained acids which had chemical
effect on tin injurious to the goods and
not precisely wholesome for the con-
sumner. Then it was discovered that
by giving the can an inside coating or
lacquering, baked into the tin from
which it was made or sprayed inside
the finished can, the quality and purity
of the food were preserved While
these enamel lined containers, and the
can with the plain top crimped on
without the use of solder, are great
improvements over the old varieties,
the latest Combinations of maximum
efficiency and minimum price still fail
to satisfy the laboratory chemists, who
are now engaged in working out an
even better product.
Besides experimenting with the con-
tainer, the laboratory makes many
scientific tests Of the foodstuffs, offer
ing occasional suggestions to the
Gamers as to how they might improve
their output. If packer finds that a
quantity of his recently canned toma-
toes are for some reason spelling, he
ships a case to the laboratory, which
makes chemical analysis of the pro-
duct. Within twenty-four hours the
Gamer receives an explanation Of the
difficulty and the scientific remedy.
At the San Francisco fair last year
the laboratory chemists who were
there in charge of part Of the Gamers
exhibit we're amazed at the enormous
individual interest displayed by visi-
tors in the canning industry. Women,
who were themselves experts in can
ming spiced fruit and making jellies,
wanted to know exactly how it was
done in the factories, and the men
were interested in how the crops
were harvested and also the salmon
packing.
The canning industry, before the
war, Appropriated $157 100000 an
nually, supplying one case of two doz-
en- cans each to every three persons
in the country. There were over
three thousand factories, employing
nearly ninety thousand people in the
actual work of canning, and annually
producing fourteen million cases of to.
matoes, thirteen million cases Of corn
and about eight million cases of peas.
These figures do not cover the canning
of meat, which is part of the meat
packing industry.

The Gamers Mobilize
BY Frederic ]. Haskin

washington, April Z5.--l NC AMcIS
can canning industry Is now MOBILIZE
ing for the big packing season which
lasts from May until August. Plants
are already at work in California.
where asparagus is just at the height
of its season, boats are starting for
Alaska with machinery and equipment
for packing salmon, and large outfits
are on their way toward the big agri-
cultural sections Of the country that
yield plentiful supplies of berries, to-
matoes. peas and corn. The oyster and
shrimp packing establishments of
Baltimore and along the Mississippi
river have just been closed
Since It is necessary to can pro-
duct as soon as possible after it has
been gathered, because of its rapid
deterioration, the canning industry
cannot establish one central branch in
a large city where there is an abund-
ant supply Of labor and have the pro-
ducts shipped to it. Instead, it must
transport its employees and equipment
to the section where the product is
plentiful and pack it within twenty
four hours after it has left the earth.
While this factor Is source of great
annoyance to the Gamers, it is very
beneficial to the consumers, who in
buying canned vegetables secure fresh
er products than they usually do in
the city markets
Corn, for example, deteriorates more
quickly than most vegetables: hence,
it is rushed through the canneries at
the greatest possible speed sometimes
in ton quantities. In order to get the
best results, just twelve hours may
elapse between the gathering of the
corn and the sealing of the cans. Seed
corn is grown almost entirely in Con-
necticut and distributed among the
different sections of the country grow
ing sweet corn for the packing indus
try. In the corn season, packing estab-
lishments are numerous all the way
from Maine to Maryland, and west to
Missouri and thence to Iowa. Pea
packing is carried on from New York
south to Maryland, west to Indiana
and north as far as Minnesota, while
some peas are also canned in Cali
fornia and Colorado. Tomato packing
embraces practically the same terri,
tory. -"
Modern machinery has done much to
facilitate the swift harvesting and can
ming of vegetables. Peas, for example,
are no longer cut by hand; instead,
the vines are cut with a moving
machine. A special thresher removes
the peas from the pods, and they are
then assorted according to their size.
This is done by a sorting machine,
consisting of series of cylinders hav-
ing perforated sides. The first has the
smallest perforations, thereby admit
ting only the smallest peas; the sec
ond has larger perforations which let
through the next in size, and so on I'M
til there are Ave different sizes Of peas.
There is no difference in the quality
of the peas thus graded. since all are
equally fresh from the vines, but the
small. succulent variety, known as
French peas, command the highest
price, while the largest peas, having
the greatest amount of nutriment, are
most in demand.
Each vegetable requires different
type of machinery. Corn is husked,
