FROM AMEs COLLEGE.
Practical Work in Wall Decora-
ton, Painters Short
(.nurSe

Amcs. Ia, Jan. 20.-Painters
land decorators who want to keep
lup with the progress in their line
|of work. will have chance to go
Ito school this winter at Council
Bluffs. February AZ to i9. In
both cities the engineering ex-
tension department. of the Iowa
State college, will conduct paint
|ers' short courses, in which In
struction will be given in wall
decoration, nothing, stenciiing,
lining, blending of colors and the
granting of woods, along with
|some instruction in hardwood
finishing and new materials and
methods.
The instruction will be under
the supervision of John w. Luthe
of Cleveland, o., assisted by A.
Abel OF Sioux City. Both men
were connected with the short
courses at Ames last year.
Iowa's short courses for paint
ers have received national recog-
milton, information being re-
quested and supplied to several
states which are contemplating
taking up similar work. These
are the only schools for painters
| in the United States held under
state auspices. 70 the last two
short courses and from all cor
ners of the state came men who
wanted to know" journeyman,
apprentices and bosses appreciat-
ing the opportunity; boys who
were learning the business, gray
haired men who had been in it
for twenty years and master
painters employing from one to
twenty men. One veteran painter
of sixty-six years enrolled with
this comment: when you've
been in the business five years
you believe you know all there is
| to it; after ten years you suspect
there is more to it than you
know; after twenty years you are
convinced that you are Just be-
ginning. That's why I'm here
Three courses this year are
being held instead of one. One
Y OF these courses started In
Waterloo last week and will last
for four weeks. The registration
( for this course was filled up by
mail long before the course
opened and Il number of painters
who wanted to take advantage OF
| this opportunity We're Obliged tn
enroll for one of the short
courses instead.
Interest in these painters
courses always has been large,
especially among the painters IN
the smaller cities, who are called
on to do all kinds of work from
|outside painting to hardwood
finishing and interior decorat-
ling" said Mr.. Parry of the en-
gineering extension department
at Ames. This year we have pre-
pared to take care Of two or three
times as many students, but if
registration keeps coming in by
mail it looks at this date as it we
shall have a turn a good many
away Those who want to get in
should lose no time in register
ing. There is hardly day goes
lby but some registration is re-
ceived from one of Iowa's neigh-
boring states" .

Justice, however tardily done, is

awakening TO higher concepts OF

THEORY THAT WILD
GEESE SPREAD HooF -.
AND MOUTH DISEASE.

The Hague, Netherlands, Jan.
2O.-The Dutch government has
decided that the combating of foot
and mouth disease among cattle
by the slaughter of diseased ami
mails will be abandoned, and some
other method tried. The slaugh-
ter of cattle infected with the
disease cost the government
nearly s3,2O0,OOO, in, indemnities
in 1915, for the disease is wide
spread in The Netherlands.
Everywhere in the rural districts
boards bearing the notice Foot
and Mouth Disease are to be
seen on the borders of pastures.
The number OF infected cattle
slaughtered in the last twelve
months was over 10000.
The appropriation for the pay
ment of indemnities to the breed.
ers has been reduced to the all
most negligible sum of $4,000
in the budget Of 1916, hut bill
has been introduced placing
SSO0,0O0 at the disposal of the
ministry of agriculture for the
purpose of trying other means
than slaughter for dealing with
the disease. The breeders arc TO
be asked to isolate cattle sus-
pected of infection while expert
mcnts are tried in treating the
disease with some of the cures
recently reported as having been
discovered both in the United
States and Switzerland.
In Leeuwaarden, the center of
the Friesland cattle country, the
greatest interest is displayed in
the government intention. Lee
uwaarden is the biggest cattle
market in The Netherlands, over
100000 head being sold there
every year, many of which go to
the British Isles and Germany.
A peculiar theory in regard to
the spread OF the foot and mouth
disease was recently advanced In
the Leeuwaardcn Courant by the
district veterinary surgeon, who
places the blame on the flocks or
wild geese which fly over the
Netherlands on their way to and
from the south, where they NIL
Fgrate to escape the northern win
ter. He says That just. in those
places where the Wild geese make
la halt on their flight foot and
mouth disease often breaks out,
apparently without cause, and he
attributes it's appearance in the
district to the carrying of the
parasites by the geese, which
spread them on the soil.

CHAPTER XIX.
Mr.. Traill n Conspirator.

TOWARD evening of a gray and chilly
| blustery day-if remember rightly. 1t
was the fifth following the sealing of our
compact with Won Holzborn; January 90
a Ay drew UP before the Pig and Whistle
Tavern, on the Flodden road. perhaps a
mile out of yarmouth and was set down,
shIyering-nav, permeated to the very mar
row of my bones with cold and anxiety.
The tavern stood in n desolate spot, re-
moved some considerable distance from the
main travelled road a house little fire.
ouented in the winter months Low hills
crowded about II, and little stream crossed
Tho highway some distance from the house.
From the carriage block no other dwelling
could be discovered this found much to
my satisfaction
My inspection of the surroundings how
ever, was not unnecessarily prolonged. A
keen wind was blowing inland from the sea,
seeklnE out the tender spots In my carcass
without mercy, even through the protecting
folds of q heavy ovcrcoat. Overhead arched
sullen sky cf n leaden color, and out of 1t
came at fitful intervals, little nurries OF
hard and Icy snow, with which the frozen
earth was literally powdered.
So paid the driver of the fly. finding my
money with numbed fingers, surrendered
my suitcase to an attentive hostlcr, and
skipped indoors without undue delay. bend
