ANTi-LoAFING MEASURE
BOOMING OILERS.


New York, April 13.-Word from Al
bany that Governor Whitman has
signed the new anti-loafing bill Just
passed by the legislature, will be the
signal for the invasion by deputy sher-
IFS of all establishments in Manhat-
tan where jazz bands and dancing men
furnish the chief attraction tor young
women. Dancing, according to Sheriff
Knott, is not to be considered as an
occupation in rounding up idlers. Spec
ial attention, the sheriff announced to-
day, will be given to bench warmers
in parks, club idlers and men who
spend their time in pleasurable but
nonproductive sports. Sheriff Knott's
proclamation to idlers concludes with
this warning:
"The possession by any man Of
money, property or income sufficient
to support himself will be no defense
for idleness. The penalty is a fine Of
800 or imprisonment for three months
or both"

.IOWAPORK WILL
FEED MILLIONS
AGRICULTURAL EXPERT SAYS
STATES HOGS CAN SUPPORT
BIG ARMY.

Waterloo, April 15.-One million sol
diers can be supplied with meat for
one year with the excess of swine pro-
duction in Iowa, according to DR.. J. s.
Keen, inspector of Iowa for the federal
government, who was here today con-
ferring with DR.. r. E. Christopher, dis
trict inspector.
While DR.. Keen and his aids were
fighting hog cholera last summer and
autumn they conducted missionary
campaign for the saving of brood sows
from the slaughter pens. So effective
was their work that an increase OF
1000 brood sows in each county result
ed. Dr., Keen says the 100000 addi-
tional breeding animals in Iowa, the
number over the normal supply, means
an excess Of 100000 pigs. One-half OF
the carcass of a hog will keep soldier
in meat for year and provide the nee
essary amount of fats.
DR.. Keen states every county IN
Iowa is now organized for the big
spring drive against cholera. Twenty.
two inspectors cover districts made up
of five counties each on an average.
Each district contains an average OF
5000 head Of swine.
The campaign against hog cholera
in the United States began in Iowa,
two counties in the state being select.
ed for experimental work several years
ago. Dallas county, one of the two
chosen by the department of agricul-
ture, was in charge Of DR.. Keen, who
made his headquarters at Abel. His
work and that of his assistants in or
ganizing the farmers and saving hun
dreds Of thousands OF dollars was so
effective that the department extended
the campaign to the entire state with
DR.. Keen in charge.
