most of them being quite insistent
that they get their money. 1t is
rumored. that the Classes Of Waterloo

urban system. The people living at

1t is announced that the site Of the
new roundhouse anG yards of the Chi
cago. Milwaukee & St. Paul railway at
North McGregor has been at last
selected and the work on the $1,000, 900
improvements delayed by the recent
flood will now begin at once. From
200 to 500 men will be put on the job
and the work continue for a year and
half or more. The Milwaukee COM
pany has purchased thirty three acres
for the site-of the new yards. The
land is for the most part tish e:ound,
and includes a large hill. This will
be cut down and the roundhouse built
on the leveled ground.
Vinton.
George Warford, who has been
working more or less at some of the
garages Of this town, Friday evening
stole the touring car Of August Bal
helm, q farmer living near Van
Horne. Mr.. Balheim came to Vinton
in the evening on business trip and
left his car on the street. After COM
pleting his business he went to get
the car and it was gone. short time
after this Warford and another young
fellow with a couple Of girls were ar
rested at Keystone and the car re-
covered. Saturday morning County
Attorney Mossman went to Keystone
and had Warford arraigned before
Mayor Jacobson who bound him over
to the grand jury in bonds of $500.
The other young man and the girls
were released. Warford will, un-
doubtedly, have chance to work for
the state for awhile.
Cedar Rapids.
Police sergeants some times get
caught in the traps that they would
set for others. Fred Gilmore, the
affable desk sergeant on the night
shift at the local police station is a
man Of ability. So his brother officers
say. On Wednesday night he found
himself in an embarrassing position.
A deputy sheriff from nearby county
left some handouts OF new design
at the police station over night. He
took the keys with LIN to his hotel.
He left the handouts in the safekeep
ing Of the desk sergeant. In the night
time the desk sergeant began to fondle
the bracelets. He slipped them over
his wrists Inadvertently he snapped
the lock. The key was in the posses
sion of the deputy sheriff. He was far
away from the police station. There
was the desk sergeant handcuffed and
no prospects Of release until morning.
This occurred at a. m. That way he
remained until 5 a. M. when the
deputy arrived with the key. He
thought he had kept the secret away
from the other night mH. But the
story leaked out.

on the floor Of the state convention to

vidual candidate.
MIR. Coates addressed the conven
ton and declared that in view Of the
peculiar situation in both the leading
parties, it would be beneficial to the
prohibition cause, if the party should
lend all it's efforts toward defeating
Harding by supporting Meredith.

swinging votes to Harding by nomi-
mating a candidate for this party who
will take votes from Mr.. Meredith"
Mr.. Coates declared .s
He declared that prohi itionists
should give their undivided support to
the nominee of the democratic party.

the moral welfare of the state in the
following resolution:
BE it resolved: That whereas, the

candidates for this office, while men,
Der /of the general assembly of Iowa

support to some of the great reform
measures which were introduced into
our legislature during the time above
stated; and whereas, Mr.. Harding s
known to, be in sympathy with the
liquor interests, we can not conscien-
tiously give our support to his cleo

Des Moines. July 6.--Reports now
coming into the office of the state food
and dairy commissioner from the
creameries Of the state for their output
from July l, 1915 to July 1, 1916, show
that the amount of butter being made
in Iowa is on the increase AS the
Iowa creamery men are finding larger
markets they are increasing their
output.
The total annual dairy output of the
state as estimated by the state food
and dairy department usually runs
from $50,000,000 to s55, 100000 in value.
Assistant Dairy Commissioner lift
says that this does not measure it as
the department has heretofore not TAX
en- into account the value of home con-
sumed milk nor of cream shipped out
Of the state. He believes that this
year. taking all dairy products into
consideration. the output will be worth
closet to $S0,OOO,0O0 The various pro-
ducts and their value follow. Cream
cry butter. $30O000OO. Dairy butter,
AAoohAhS DulCeE,
Skim milk. 100000. Ice cream, ST.
100000. Home consumed milk $10,-
100000. Cheese products $1,000, 900.
Cream shipped out Of the state, &c.
100000.
Make Money on High Grade Butter
The creamery men who are maxi .
money are those who are making high
grade butter which commands mar
ket above the average. Makers Of the
best butter nave found that the east
ern market is a discriminating market
and will therefore pay more than the
market price for good butter. One Iowa
creamery man for istance sells all of
his output tc one concern ii New York
and receives quite a little above the
market price the year round. Another
creamery sends its entire output to a
western coast city.
Southwestern Iowa farmers send
their milk and cream to Omaha and
this does not figure in the report on
the Iowa output as estimated by the
state dairy department Some Of it in
southern Iowa goes to ST. Joe. All
around the edges of the state there is
more or less milk and cream shipped
out to nearby creameries.

Of corn crop with reasonable weather
