amendment to make it a part of
the constitution.
Washington, Dec. 19.-Only slight
difference in resolutions between the
House and Senate now stands in the
way of submitting to state legislatures
an amendment to the federal consti-
tuition forbidding the manufacture,
sale or importation of intoxicating IL
Quor for beverage purposes in the
United States or its territories, for
nationwide prohibition has won in the
House.
The vote in the House, taken after
a day of debate before crowded gall
leries, was 2S2 to 12S, with the parties
divided almost evenly. The margin
for prohibition was just eight votes
more than the necessary two-thirds
vote of the House required for adop-
tion and 26 more than two-thirds OF
those voting.
Every attempt to put on amend
ments to except light wines and beer
was beaten and al Democrats stood
aligned with 1877 Republicans and four
Independents to win the final victory
for the prohibition forces.

Effort to Be Made to Form Cow Test
ing Association in Marshalitown and
its vieinity-of Great Value to Herd
Owners.

among the farmers Of this vicinity to
organize a COW testing association.

data on the milk production OF each
COW for the purpose of knowing wheth-
er or not the COW is producing enough
milk to pay for the cost Of keeping her
The data also furnishes valuable in
formation regarding animals that are
useful for breeding purposes andsfor
purposes Of sale. The associations
have generally been very successful
and very useful to milk producers.
