Big Measures Pending.

These are some Of the big measures
pending which the general assembly
must pass on before adjournment.
1t looks now as tho the investigation
Of the alleged cement trust and its OPP
eratiOnS in Iowa as provided for in the
resolution introduced by Representa-
tive Weaver Of Polk county will not be
provided for. Senator Balkema charged
on the senate floor that the steel trust
controlled the cement trust and had
done so since it was found that Stag
was essential in the manufacture Of
cement.
Senator Balkema introduced a bill
in the senate to provide for an investi-
cation of the possibilities Of the state
Of Iowa going into the manufacture of
cement and to report back TO the next
general assembly. 1t is possible that
no positive action will be taken by the
legislature on this measure. 1t is
pointed out that it requires big cap
italization and experience in the &C.
ment business TO enter into its manu-
facture and compete with the present
organizations.
The extending Of the injunction law
or Cosson law to places which violate
the laws in the sale of cigarets prom
Uses to bring fight on the senate floor
before the session is over. This Is pro-
vded for in the Findlay bill which
passed the house Friday Of last week
by big vote. 1t is being predicted II
will pass the senate.
The model injunction laws which
! would prevent the nse Of the injunc-
ton against labor organizations except
| in cases Of great emergency are APP
parently not being pushed. These bills
are on both the house and the senate
calendars but have been passed wher
| they were to come up and action has
been deferred on them. The bills have
been strongly opposed by business
mems organizations.
| The present Sunday laws will prob
| ably stay on the statute books as the
| house this past week refused to pass
| the Griffin bill providing that cities
| might regulate Sunday closing ques-
tons by ordinance. Attorney Genera
| Havner has announced he will enforce
! all laws on the statute books after the
legislature adjourns and for this rea.
| son some modification OF the presen'
| Sunday law has been urged.

equally as good measure is enacted
taking care OF the federal aid. He de-
clareS some other state VIII gel Iowa 5
federal road money which Iowa will
lose by default if ii does not pass 3
federal aid bill and it Will cost Iowa
just the same in federal taxes whether
the state gets federal aid or does not
get It.
The Foster road patrol bill, which
passed the senate By big vote, is
r. : ,, ac
been characterized by Lieutenant
Governor Moore and others as the best
piece Of legislation which has passed
the senate thus far this session. II is
advocated as an economy measure as
IS will make il possible to keep up the
roads before they require extensive re-
pairs.
The Whitmore bill to repeal the
capitol extension tax, which is set for
consideration oy the senate Tuesday
Of this week. If the senate passed this

| roads Of Iowa.
! The state printer and binder bill.

strictiOns that the prices are not to be
higher than those at present.

CHEMISTS TO EXAMINE BODY.
Remains of Toledo Millionaire Who
Died Under Mysterious Circum-
stances to Be Examined.

Toledo.-A post-mortem examination
of the body of Lucius Berdan, Toledo
millionaire, who died under mysteri-
GUS circumstances at Chicago will be
made by Walter H. Hartung, county
coroner.
The body will be removed from a

FIND GROUND GLASS IN FOOD
Soldiers at National ArmJ sites Are
Given Warning BY the Government
Chemists To Make Inspection.


Camp Sherman.-Before partaking
OF your matutinal dish Of mush look
II over for ground glass, which, ac-
cording to military information given
out here, has been placed In hominy.
In q memorandum issued by Major
General Edwin F. Glenn. the following
telegram from the War Department
was published for the information Of
and strict compliance by all concern
ed"
"Oficials OF the United States Dis.
trict Attorney report that ground glass
has been found in hominy. Ground
glass also has been found in canned
tomatoes. These articles should be
carefully examined before used"
Copies Of the telegram Immediately
were sent to company commanders,
supply officers and mess sergeants in
the cantOnment, and minute search Is
being made for the latest evidence OF
German kultur.
Great quantities of this food have
been purchased by the army and al.
most every mess in camp has a sup.
ply on hand. Chemical examination
of the hominy will be made at onct
and until it is deemed safe for con
sumption "mush" will have no place
ON army bills of fare.
The German agents gained access to
the plants where the hominy and to-
matoes were packed and doctored the
cans and cartons with ground glass,
staff officers allege.
General Glenn, speaking of the dedi'
cation of the Daughters of American
Revolution Lodge in the Camp Sher'
man community, expressed regret over
the War Department order limiting
holiday passes to 8 per cent of the
officers and men of this cantonment.
The inability of railroads to handle
10000 or $4,000 men in addition to the
usual holiday travellers is another
striking illustration of Americas un
preparedness" he declared.
In the face of the order selectives
who for weeks had planned to pass
Christmas with home folks, are taking
French leave of camp and journeyine
to their homes. Twenty-Five men from
Co. A and thirty from Co f, 331st In
fantry, slipped out Of camp.
The men will be tried by Summary
Court, and, If found guilty, will b'
dealt with severely, according to com
, pany commanders.
The penalty for leave-taking withou
a pass in time of war is anything VI
to the death penalty" Colonel T. =
Hayne, Chief of Staff, said.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Camp Sherman.-Major General Ed
win F. Glenn, speaking to the Chilli
cothe Chapter of the Red Cross, an
nounced the appointment OF James K.
Garfield, of Cleveland, director OF the
Lake Division of the Red Cross and
former secretary of the interior, as
chairman of the Ohio War Commits
sion.
In announcing the appointment Gen.
eral Glenn explained that the state of
Ohio War Commission, in the forma'
tion of which he was interested much,
Is intended to take care of the personal
difficulties, business ventures and In
dividual needs of the men OF the Ohio
division Of the national army.
The local committees of the com.
mission, ordered in various towns
throughout Ohio, he said, were formed
in such a manner that they imme'
diately can attend to any needs, either
local or general, which may fall to
drafted or volunteer soldiers.
The transferring of the committees
to status, under the guidance Of the
Red Cross, done at the suggestion OF
| Governor James NJ. Cox, will eliminate
duplication and conflict Of work.
Mr.. Garfield visited Washington for
the purpose of co-ordlnating this work
and while there received the approval
of the War Department. The local
committees Of the commission in near
" all the cities OF Ohio now are work
ing under the guidance of the director
of the lake division Red Cross, the
general said.
General Glenn asserted that he al
all times had been most anxious tc
keep the Ohio War Commission out Of
politics. In the cities where commit
tees have been formed, he said, they
ere made up of representatives of a!
organizations, such as the Red Cross
Y. M. c. A., commerce clubs, Rotary
clubs, Kiwanis clubs and similar or
ganizations. These committees, al
they stand now, are nonpolitical, he de
clared, and in future will be guidet
by Mr.. Garfield as director OF the LAKE
division Red Cross and chairman o
the State Of Ohio War Commission.
The general commented on the coll
stantly growing spirit of cooperation
between France, Great Britain ant
America, which makes for efficient oI
ganization throughout the militar
structure of the allies.
This spirit of international and ma
tional cooperation, he said, is due t
fuller appreciation by the allies q
Germany's strength and by the fac
that 154 German divisions, official dis
patches announce, are being conceE
trated along the western front, an
probably preparing supreme attac
against the French, supported by tn
American division already in, France.

munity. In fact, the earliest settlers
of the region, in 1868, published their
own Declaration of independence.
After Massachusetts and Connecticut
had united to overthrow the Pequot
Indians, each colony claimed the con
Queced territory, which extended from
the Thames river to Connecticut to
Weekapaug in Rhode Island. The set
tiers of Stonington (then called Mystic
and Pawcatuck) applied to the general
court at Hartford to be set off as a
separate town. but the opposition Of
New London led to the refusal Of the
application.
In 1857 the petitioners sent an ur-
gent message to Massachusetts. which
colony had claim to the area In dis
pute, but Massachusetts likewise re-
fused the request of the little settle
ment in the wllds.
Whereupon q miniature republic was
evolved under the name of "The AS
sociation of PoQuatuck People"
These settlers on the borders OF the
wilderness had for the most part
sprung from the better classes; indeed,
a large part Of them could trace their
descent through line Of knights and
gentlemen. Yet in this new country
aethey were proud to become good farm

CHANGES NEEDED IN
SCHEDULE OF SPRAYS
Plan That Should Meet Condi-
tons in Most Parts Given by
Professor Merrill.

Fruit growers who wish the best re
suits from their spraying must make
some changes in the schedule of sprays
and the materials used, according to F,
s. Merrill, assistant professor of hOrtI'
culture in the Kansas State Agricul
tural college.
A spraying schedule that should
meet the conditions in most parts Il
given by Professor Merrill.
1. The cluster cup spray, to be ap
piled when the blossom buds are jusl
beginning to show pink. This spray
should be composed of $3.50 bordeaux
mixture to which has been added two
pounds Of arsenate Of lead. This IS 4
most efficient spray for controlling
Scab and curculiO.
2. The petal fall spray should be ap'
piled when twO-thirds of the petalt
have fallen and should be composed
of ~ gallons of concentrated lime-sul
phur and two pounds of arsenate ol
lead. This is the most valuable spraJ
for controlling the codling moth. Par
ticular care should be taken to force
the spray into the calyx cup Of the
apple.
3. The blotch spray should be ap
piled IS days after the petal fall spray
This spray should be composed Of 3-4
so bordeaux and two pounds of ar
senate of lead. This is the most effec
tive spray for controlling the appl
blotch.
A. The fourth spray should be ap
piled two or three weeks after tn
blOtch spray and should be composed
of the saIle material as the blotcl
spray. It should be applied to tree
that are particularly susceptible t
blOtch or to orchards that have bee
seriously affected with this disease fo
several years..
5. The second-brOod codllng mot
spray should be applied eight or tie
weeks after the petal fall spray.
The application Of sixth spray ma
be necessary in order to control a lat
brood of codling moth. 1t should b
composed of two pounds of arselate {
lead to 80 gallons of water.

CROWN GALL FOUND
IN NURSERY STOCK
Young Trees Are More Suscepti-
BILE to Disease Than Older
OneS-ControI Difficult.

By J. M. MANN, New Mexico Agricul-
tural Experiment Station)
Crown gall Is a bacterial disease
which attacks such plants as the stone
fruits, apples, pears, Q2inces, walruts,
chestnuts, pOplars, willows, grapes,
raSpberries, blackberries, roses, tOma-
to, tobacco, beets, hops, CarnationsE
etc.
The disease is caused by a specific
bacterium and produces characteristic
gals or knots on the roots of its
host. The knot or enlargement is
often Just at the crown of the roots,
but also occurs on the smaller roots or
In some instances above the ground.
The presence of the disease does not
ordinarily kill the host rapidly but as
the growth of the disease continues 1t
gradually shuts off the water supply
of the plant attacked and death
eventually follows.
Young trees are much more serious
ly injured by the disease than older
ones.
The greatest spread of the disease
takes place in the shipping Of infected
nursery stock, but the organism cauS-
ing the disease can be scattered by
irrigation water or any way that in
fected soil may be transferred from
one field to another.
Mechanical injuries occurring at the
time of cultivation make open wounds
through which the organism attacks
the host.
The control of the disease is very
difficult, MS the removal Of the gal
does not insure the eradication of the
trouble from the plant affected
Young trees in the nursery are more
susceptible to crown gall than ol6el
ones, and for this reason the disease
can almost always be detected at th'
time of tranSplanting. All diseases
trees should be rejected.

In 1774 the residents of that part OF
StonIngton borough known as Long
Point (now StOnington village) were
In dire need Of n church edifice. As
they felt too poor to build new one
they petitioned the general assembly ut
Hartford for leave to hold lottery for
this purpose.
The general assembly granted their
petition. hut 1t was not until l777 that
the lottery was drawn and the funds
secured. At that time the Revolution
airy war had begun and most of the
money was used for the defense Of
the village; the remainder, which had
been invested In continental bills,
was lost by reason of their complete
