SQUINT THE WRONG WAY.
~

Some complaint Is being made about
the action of the district exemption
board in the matter Of granting ex-
exemptions on purely vocational
grounds A few instances In this
county seem to indicate that the young
man who happens to be big farmer
has little trouble in getting exempted
while his neighbor who operates only
small farm is refused exemption.
These apparent injustices are fortu-
nately few in number, but they create
unrest and bitter feelings. They
squint at special privileges and sug-
gest the possibilities Of corrupt in
fluences. 1t Is OF course impossible to
eliminate all unfairness In matter OF
this kind, but II is hoped that every
effort will be made by the district
board TO avoid unfair Determinations.

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

IF the amendment should fail to
pass on October 18th, the liquor issue
will be the paramount issue in the next
state campaign" predicts the Winter
set Madisonian. THE saloon men and
the vets will undoubtedly ask for a
repeal on statutory prohibition on the
grounds that the dry program had been
tried CT. c.aa -eiected by the vote Of
the people. 1t would be very difficult
to combat that kind Of argument
even if the amendment is lost by a
stey at home vote"

batting any disease is to adopt and
persist in some reliable means of pre-
vention. There is a cause for all all
ments. Unless you remove the cause
you cannot cure the disease. If the
cause is removable, a serious outbreak
Of the disease can be prevented by
proper hygienic and sanitary measures
which make the cause much less liable
to appear, or, if the measures adopted
are sufficiently thorough, the cause
may be prevented from putting in an
appearance. Gapes is caused by the
small red worms and their progeny.
Satisfactory Treatment.
The most satisfactory treatment Is
prevention of contagion, combined with
extraction Of the worms from the in
fected chicks. All sick birds SHOULD
be removed to quarters apart from the
we'll ones. All cOOps and runs where
infected birds have been should be
thoroughly disinfected. The coops
should have a thorough application of
! hot WhiteWash. The ground Of runs
should be we'll lined with airslacked
lime, spaded up, and should be sprin-
killed. with one of the following sOlu-
| tons: A two per cent solution of sui
| phuric acid in water or two ounces of
copperas '(suIphate of irony dissolved
in a bucket of water; or a solution OF
| permanganate of potassium in water
half an ounce of the crystals in a bar
rel of water; or strong solution OF
creOlin, two tablespoonfuls in each gal
| lon of water.
The ground should be we'll sprinkled
infected chicks have been removed
Then pillow or spade and sprinkle again
Repeat this disinfection whenever in
! fected chicks have been running on
the ground. Scald all drinking YES
sells used by sick birds and be sure
that the water used is boiling. If
! there are many earthwOrms and slugs
In the ground which has been Occu-
| pied by chicks with gapes, get rid of
the worms with one of the patented
worm exterminatOrs sold by nearly
all seedsmen. Always burn all chicks
which die Of the gapes, and whenever
you find gapeworms, or extract them
from sick chicks, be sure to burn the
worms. Disinfect all droppings
Earthworms do not cause gapes, but
may be contaminated with the eggs OF
embryonic gapeworms and so become
a source Of infection in ground where
the disease has existed.
A small piece Of copperas placed
in the drinking water is said to pre-
vent cOntagion. Tincture Of asafetida
a teaspoonful in a quart of water, is
used for the same purpose, and is said
to have a curative action. Three
drachms Of salicylate of soda in q
quart of drinking water is also
recommended as preventive.

The pretty frock above is so simple
and so expressive, that youth could not
find anything better suited to herself,
if she searched for days in the places
where party frocks grow. This little
gown possesses style-the intangible
element that we all adore. Some
people achieve it and others do not,
and therein lies all the difference be-
tween success and lack of it in dress.
There is nothing much to tell about
this model except that the skirt is of
light-cOlOred taffeta daintily cross
barred in other light colors. It is as
plain and straight as can be and is
finished with a hem beaded by a single
narrow tuck. The tuck helps to give
the skirt the right "set" about the bot
tom. It is gathered to a narrow belt
and Joined to a bodice of net and plain
taffeta. The underbodice of net is
gathered at the shoulders and has a
round neck finished with a tiny hem.
There are short, full sleeves of the
net, with a ruching of frayed taffeta
at the top of the hem, making a pretty
decoration. The sleeves are set to the
bodice with band of lace insertion.
The taffeta Overbodice, which is
merely very wide girdle, is adorned
with little sprays Of embroidery.

ton, the frock is allowed two frivolous
touches. One of them is a bit of net
drapery at one side, and the other is
tiny bouquet suspended by baby rib
bon from the bodice. Of course they
have no excuse for being except that
eyes were made for seeing.
Any of the sheer cotton dress goods,
as wolfe or organdy, might be used to
make the skirt, and worn over a petit
coat of plain taffeta, for frock of this
kind. But it is best to be a perfect
copyist of a model of such excellence
than to risk experimenting.

GOOD WHITEWAsH FOR FARM
Coal Tar Product Kills Disease Germs
kerosene Destroys Mites
Lime Whitens Walls.

A good whitewash for stables, poul-
try houses or hoghouses is made by
Stacking five quarts of lime with hot
water to the consistency Of cream.
To this add one pint of zenoleum or
other coal tar product, and one pint of
kerosene. Dilute until it can be ap-
piled with brush or spray pump.
The coal tar product kills disease
germs, the kerosene destroys mites
and the lime whitens the walls.
Try this and you will be pleased
with results.

RETARD CABBAGE CLUB ROT
Heavy Coat of Lime Applied in Fall

Club root in cabbage will be re-
tarded by a heavy coat of lime ap-
piled in the fall. But the only sure
prevention is the use of sound seed
ling plants and a rotation of crops
and the destruction of all refuse from
infected fields.
Soil or manure that has been in
fected by the germs of the club root

NEW TYPE MIDGET TRACTOR
Conventional Caterpillar Design to Be
Used ~ Substitute for Narrow
Gage Industrial Railroads.

A small tractor OF the conventional
caterpillar type which is designed as
a substitute for the narrow gage In
dustrial railroads operated In connec-
ton with large plants. has recently
made Its appearance, says Popular
Science Monthly. 1t can move mate
rial rapidly from one department Of
a factory to another and pass obsta-
cles, since It does not require roads
or tracks for its operation. Further
more, 1t does not mar the surface over
which 1t passes, because 1t lays Its
own track as 1t goes along.
For this reason 1t can be used In
side factory buildings. 1t can pass
through doorways Of the ordinary size,
and when not used In transporting ma.
terial from one department to another,
1t can be employed In the shipping
room or on the loading platform. II
is but so inches wide and 81 inches
high.
There are any number of other uses
to which the Industrial tractor may
be put. For instance, ii can be EN-.
ployed for pulling loaded wagons out
Of excavations, or II can be used In
logging camps. or In lumber yards,
mines and shipyards.
