Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, April 23.-The state
dairy association plan Of organizing
calf clubs in the various counties Of
the state and Of providing prizes for
the boys who exhibit the best dairy
calves at the fall fairs and stock shows
is being taken up with much enthusi-
asln, according to W. B. Barney, state
dairy commissioner. Twenty : two
counties in the state now have calf
clubs and many more will be organized
during the coming weeks.
In number of the cities and towns
OF the state bankers associations and
commercial clubs are interested in the
plan and are subscribing money for
prizes. 1t Is the backing of these or
ganizations which is making the plan
win out. the dairy association men say.
In order to secure calves for the
boys representatives of the association
are buying them in dairy districts of
Wisconsin northern Iowa, and else
where. They are selling them to the
boys and taking their notes, signed by
their fathers, for the animals. Boys
from twelve years on up are getting
into the contests
In the county contests some local
Judges will pass on the calves when
they enter the contest and will later
Judge them at shows where the final
awards are made. The calves show
ing the best Improvement will stand
high in the favor Of the judges.
Malt Ill fr 80
plans yet worked out to develop inter-
est in dairying," said W. B. Barney
today. 1T gets the boys interested who
will become the future dairymen of the
state. And dairying requires constant
study il the dairyman is to attain to
anything like the possibilities of the
business"
Candidates Besiege Governor.
Governor w. L. Harding is still be-
sieged with applicants for district
Judgships authorized by the last gen.
eral assembly and for positions In the
secret service force which was also
provided for. Delegations in the in
terests Of somebody are thick around
the governors office most Of the time.
The governor has found little time in
which to 60 over the bills passed dur
ing the closing days Of the legislature
which await his signature. Up to to-
day he had some $50 bills yet to sign.
There is Of course much interest in
the fate OF the non partisan judiciary
repeal bill which was passed during
the closing days Of the legislature after
a fight which had extended over much
Of the session. It Is generally believed
here that he will not veto the bill.
Auto Law Mixed.
An auto bill passed the last week Of
the session to regulate the use OF deal
ers' numbers has been found to be
badly "balled up 1t was amended
to some extent before final passage
but in naming the sections amended
mistake was made. The bill went
thru that way and there is no method
now by which 1t can be corrected. It
Is possible that Governor Harding will
veto this measure as the only way out
Of the mix-up. The amendments add
ed to the law took away much of the
forcefulness and it is not considered
especially important.
State Supreme Court Recorder L. G..
Whitney has stated that the laws

are now in type but those unsigned
and which require publication can not
