IOWA ABOUT RID
OF HOOP DISEASE
STATE VETERINARIAN OFFICE
FEELS THAT GREAT DANGERS
ARE NOW PAST.

Des Moines, April 11.-After about
year and a half of trouble with the
foot and mouth disease, for several
months year ago in Iowa and fol
the rest of the time in neighborine
states, the state veterinarians de-
partment feels considerably relieved
that the middle west is free of the
dread cattle malady. Illinois has
been declared free area by the gov
eminent Off cials and Iowa shippers
can now make shipments back and
forth Shipments into Iowa from
Illinois must be in disinfected cars
however
Most Viruent Disease.
The veterinarians declare it is al
most impossible to make the average
person realize the virulence of the
foot and mouth disease germ and fo1
that reason the extreme difficulty the
authorities have in enforcing the
quarantine laws when once the dis
ease gets started. But the veterinar'
'ians say the germ is one of the most
virulent and deadly of any that they
have to meet in their practice and foot
and mouth disease has been far more
costly in Iowa than has been the war
or any other one thing.
Shipments of live stock have to be
watched and kept track of during a
foot and mouth disease quarantine
about as closely as strangers are
watched and kept track of in Germany
at the present time.
A Big responsibility.
The state veterinarians Office re-
quires reports on all shipments of
live stock into the state and big
bunch of these reports come in daily
If any shipments come from an In.
fected area or suspected district
these shipments are kept in quaran-
tine until all danger of the cattle de-
veloping the disease is over 1t re-
quires constant vigilance to keep track
of these shipments, watch the places
under quarantine, see to it that no
shipments are smuggled in and all
quarantine laws \enforced. The Iowa
department claims it has been handi-
capped by lack of money in it's en-
forcement of quarantine measures and
in some places by lack of cooperation
from the very citizens whose interests
they were trying to safeguard.
Hence with the quarantine in the
neighboring state of Illinois lifted and
this middle west free Of the disease
the state veterinarians office feels
much relieved.

VOICE OBJECTION TO
PERMANENT ROADS

sigourney, April 11.-Pursuant to a
call recently issued several hundred
Keokuk county farmers and taxpay-
ers met at the assembly room OF the
court house on Saturday to take steps
to protest against hard surfacing and
graveling county roads and bonding
the state for that purpose. This was
the first meeting of the kind ever
held here and created much enthusi-
asm, being attended by farmers from
almost every part of the county. The
meeting was addressed by number
of the most prominent farmers at the
meeting and in all of the speeches
made the hard surfacing of roads was
denounced as unwise and as creating
an undue burden on the taxpayers OF
the state. Delegates were appointed
to attend the state taxpayers conven-
ton to be held at Des Moines Tues
day The following officers were
elected: President. A. w. Harper;
vice president, D. M. Patterson; secre'
tary, 8. A. Gilliland.

CEDAR RAPIDS TO
RED|STR|CT TOWN
DO NOT EXPECT BALLOTS At
JUNE PRIMARY TO BE
COUNTED IN A WEEK..

Cedar Rapids, April lit is expect.
ed that the counting of the vote at the
June primaries this year will take at
least week in some Of the precints
in this city, and the same conditions
will prevail elsewhere in Iowa.
The precincts are very large and the
ballot will be very long. Besides, there
is the additional work of counting the
vote on the suffrage amendment
A discussion has been started
among the men who are usually drawn
upon to serve as election judges and
clerks. Many of them are in favor of
closing the days work as soon as the
polls close and leaving a policeman on
guard for the night. They would then
be able to get their nights sleep and
beginning work fresh in the morning
and son on, day after day, until all the
ballots have been counted. 1t will be
utterly impossible for any set of men
in any of the precincts to stay awake
long enough to count all the ballots at
one time. And there Is no hurry any
way, with the possible exception of the
interest in the suffrage amendment.
Nothing else if of much importance.
Why should the lection officials wear
themselves out in rushing the count
ing? Better go slow and have it &C
curate. ~.
The ruling has been made that those
who desire to vote at the June pri-
mary will need to be registered. This
does not mean a new registration, but
only the registration prior to the city
election. After the primary the city
council will divide the city into not
fewer than sixten precincts, SO that
the vote next fall may be counted
much more rapidly.
This re-districting of the city will
be done Immediately after the primary
so that there shall be ample time for
a complete new registration, which Is
required by the law once every four
years-just preceding the presidential
election.

TELLS PATHETIC
STRUGGLE STORY
APPLICATIONS TO STATE EN-
PLoYMENT BUREAU ARE
FULL OF WOE AND MISERY.

/Des Moines, April 11.--Pathetic
struggles to make living are re-
vealed among the applications for en-
ployment which come to the state
free employment bureau. In a land
and the middle west misfortune is
evidently abroad in the land forcing
herself on many unfortunate victims.
For instance last year was hard
one on the farm renter, especially If
he was north of the central part OF
the state where the late spring, cool
summer and early frosts made the
crops poor and the corn crop fail
ure. Many applications have come to
the state free employment bureau this
spring from renters who have to go
back to working at wages because
they did not raise a crop last year.
Machinery High.
It's like going into business for a
man to start out even as a farm rent
er these days." said j. G. Neitzel,
state free employment agent, recent
ly, in discussing some of the aspects
Of the employment work. "Machin-
cry is expensive, horses come high,
seed costs money, the landlords have
to get big rents and expenses in gen
eral SO heavy that fellow has to have
quite little capital if he is to rent
a farm. Then if he is out his whole
seasons work and his rent and all
by losing a crop he is up against it.
That is why there are so many
worthy fellows working on the farms
for wages who are anxious to do bet
ter and who deserve to do better.
Laborer Having Trouble.
"The laborer in the city is having
his troubles, too. Sugar is eight
cents pound, -four is very high and
meat almost out of sight. A laborer
with family has struggle in the
city. Lack of early advantages, the
necessity Of going to work when quite
young to help out his fathers family
perhaps, puts many man in a posi-
ton where he can never be anything
more than laborer with life Of self
denial and hardship"
The bureau has received letter
from widow lady in Omaha, who has
four sons, aged -, IA, 16 and %, re-
spectively, who is anxious to get on
a farm where she can find work for
herself and her boys and keep her
family together. The bureau Is
anxious to find place for this fam
lily on farm.

OFFICERS LOOKING
FOR PURCHASER

Washington, April 11.-Washington
officers are now looking for a Mr..
Cole, who was a resident of this place
for two weeks. The genial Mr.. Cole
told Washington merchants that he
was employed by the Milwaukee rail-
road installing telephones. Also, that
he had two pretty daughters in Chi
cago, who were coming to keep house
for him. Consequently he would need
bill of furniture. Subsequently he
priced the stocks in the different
stores. Finally he decided to buy a
dining room set at one store. The
bill amounted to $s5. In payment he
rendered q check on a Rockford, ILL.,,
bank for sos. The merchant willingly
accepted the paper and gave his "cus-
toner" the change. simultaneously
with the return of the protested
check from Rockford, Mr.. Cole also
disappeared. The dealer still has the
furniture, waiting for Mr.. Coles
daughters to appear.

CORRECT IN ACCOUNTS

McGregOr, April 11.-The report
that Otis Johnson, the postmaster at
Waukon Junction who committed
suicide several days ago, did so be-
cause he was short in his account has
been proved to be untrue. The post

only the sum of $145 which undoubt-

Johnson has been a great sufferer for
almost lifetime. For many years he
was bedridden. A few years ago he re-
gained partial use of his limbs and
since has in his crippled condition run
a little store at Waukon Junction and
held the Office of postmaster. The sup
position is that he shot and killed him.
