Gave Fine Concert.

The concert given at the Orphenm
theatre by the Iowa State University
Glee club Thursday night Yves a very
popular and pleasing event. 1t was
largely attended and the audience was
very responsive and generous in its ap-
| plause.
The members OF the club were tend
cred a $50 dinner last evening at the
Elks club by former Iowa University
students here and, following the con-
cert, they were invited to dance at
Wilson's hall.
Friday evening the club appeared
in Jewell and they were given a
sumptuous dinner at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Gilbert Knudson, whose son,
Irving, is assistant manager of the
organization.
The glee club is Versatile company
and the concert was made up of a pro-
gram varied enough to please all, as
is attested by the fact that every num-
ger was heartily encored The final
number was especially pleasing, start
,ng with "The Trumpeter," by the en-
ire club, and closing with medley of
patriotic songs. The numbers sung
by the club were all unusually good
md their encores especially pleasing,
being for the most part songs that
oreathed the college spirit and caught.
, ready response from the audience.
Miss Hamill, yiolinist, was particular
" good. She rendered solo and re-,
sponded graciously to hearty en-
core. The quartet, composed Of
Messrs. Marasco, Thomas, Mayne and
Hill, was also one OF the most popular
numbers and their encore, "rube
song" fairly brought down the house.
The Sunset" encore number was
another of the fine pieces Of the even
ng. Mr.. Marasco's rendition of my
Father was Musicer," with obligato
accompaniment by Mr.. Mayne on a
'broomstick fiddle" kept the audience
n a constant uproar and the encore
~ Mr. Mayne, who played "The
Rosary on his one string "broomstick
iddle," brought generous applause
Mr. Hayes, the director, sang two
songs, "The Spirit Flower" and an
indian lyric, which were also favorites
If the evening.
The concert, on the whole, was as
much enjoyed as any entertainment OF
he kind that has visited Webster City
n some time. The members of the
organization are all students in the
University and their concert tour
simply fills in the holiday vacation.
Mr. Hill, president of the glee club,
is also the editor of the Daily Iowan,
] student publication.
Webster City enjoyed the visit Of
his glee club immensely and should
The organization ever appear here
again, it lis certain to be greeted by a
backed house.

DRYER SOLVES THE
SOFT corn PROBLEM D
Quaker Oats Factory at Fort Dodge
Takes Moisture out Of 10000
Bushels Daily.

Fort Dodge, Jan. 5.--A corn drying
machine, operated by steam heat
/ which can dry out any corn regard
less of the amount of moisture, il
the Quaker Oats company,s solution
of the soft corn problem. The ma.
chine is kept running day and night
and in twenty-four hours dries out
some 10000 bushels of corn.
There is nothing new about the
| corn drying machine, according to
R. W. Cormack, Quaker Oats mana
ger. The machine has been used here
about five years. Never, however
has it proved of such great value as
it has this year. This, of course, is
due to the unprecedented demand
for conservation Of food supplies and
to the fact that without a machine
of this kind much of the corn would
have to be thrown away.
To Increase Capacity.
The present capacity of the corn
dryer is 500 bushels an hour; that
is it will take corn as high as thirty
per cent moisture and reduce thar
to sixteen per cent in the short
space of sixty minutes. The plan
now is to enlarge the plant to a
capacity of $50 bushels an hour. The
moisture reduction in the enlarged
plant will not be SO great; from
about twenty seven per cent to
twenty per cent. The reason why
it will not be necessary to have such
"a big moisture reduction in the en-
larged plant is because the corn now
is in better shape than it was sever
al weeks ago and it will continue to
get into better shape with the con-
tinuance of cold weather. The
amount of moisture that is left in
the corn depends entirely upon what
it is used for.
Big Steam Pressure.
The steam pressure in the corn
dryer is from ninety-five to hun
dred pounds. The temperature OF
the air in the dryer is from 100 to
220 degrees.
Pay for Corn.
The prices paid for corn, Of course,
exceed all previous records. Corn OF
the very poorest grade is command
ing more now than corn of the best
grade did year ago. Prices paid
at the Quaker Oats company vary
from day to day and depend to a
great extent on the quality of mois
ture.
Following shows what was being
paid at the plant yesterday:
No. grade, with 1913 per cent
moisture, $1.4O.
No. 5 grade, with 22A Der cent
moisture, $1.3O.
No. grade, with 20 per cent mois-
ture, $1.25.
Corn with more than % per cent
moisture brings less, the, figure de-
ponds upon the quantity OF mois-
ture; the prices generally ranging
from $1.20 down to seyenty-five
cents. Practically any kind of corn
will be bought, and the price in COM
parison with other years is almost
beyond belief. For instance yester-
day some real soft corn, almost
black in color, brought forty cents
mot bad price for hard corn be-
fore the var.
Plant is Busy Place.
The Quaker Oats plant isfa busy
place For nearly a year and half
-or since August, 1916-it has been
running on a "a hour schedule. About
$1,000 bushels of oats are used daily,
converted into needed food for the
nation. About 1000 bushels of corn
are used at the local plant in the

The work of putting UP wireless
stations is greatly hampered by a
lack of materials and men. Some
of the stations cost considerable
sums of money. The Christaina
radio, which is located at Tryvand
Hill, is to cost over 100000.

mentioned above-of 10000 bushels

not needed here is used at the other
mills of the company.

TWO MILLION POUNDS CON-
SUMED DAILY
Possibilities of Inferiority Re-
duCed TO Minimum by Activi-
ties of Officials Charged with
Responsibility for Quality of
Meat

The following statement is authorized
by the War Departments
The inspection of fresh beef for army
consumption is receiving comprehensive
attention by the inspection branch of the
Subsistence Division of the army, New
possibilities of food inferiorities daily are
being uncovered, resulting in the appIica-
ton Of stringent preventive methods de-
signed to check these possibilities before
correctly steps actually become necessary.
Daily Consumption of Fresh Beef.
The army consumes about 1000, 900
pounds per day of fresh beef. This neces-
states the slaughter daily of 1000 cattle
OFFICIAL inspectors scrutini2e every part of
this supply from the time it comes on the
hoof to the abattc4r until it vanishes from
the mess tin of the soldier.
Inspection begins at the stock yards,
where the living animals undergo the ex-
animation of an official for any evidences
of physical defect which might be difficult
Of detection later. Where there is doubt
the questionable animals are separated for
closer examination. Where there is GER
tainty of defect the animal is rejected as
unfit for food supply,
Inspection of carcasses.
Next comes a rigid examination of the
carcass. Only when found sound"
healthful and wholesome is the meat
passed as acceptable for food and duly
branded with non-poisonous vegetable
ink 'Uhited States Inspected and Passed"
The unfit carcaSseS are destroyed.
Fresh meats thus Endorsed go forward
in regular shipments, but those which
are TO undergo curing, canning, or man.
utacture into susages lard. oleomarga-
rine etc, are subjected to reinspections
at each step. For these there is final
inspection just previous to their dispatch
for army use. Samples are regularly coll
lected for chemical analysis in the gov
eminent laboratories.
Double inspection at Camps.
When the meats arrive at the army
stations they are again inspected either
by inspectors of the Bureau of Animal In
dustry or by veterinarian officers of the
rmy. They must also obtain the approval
receiving them. And they undergo their
final test when the soldiers immediate
organization commander looks them over

OUR GRANDADS
lRy Ms. ]. M. z. GiIl.l

(By Mrs. J. M. r. glib
My granddad was q Yankee.
His eranddad was a Reb;
They fought at old Manassas,
They fought at Wilson'S Shed;
They called each other Traitor"
They hated good and strong,
And each declared the other,
Was altogether wrong.
And when the war was over
They settled nigh apace;
But still they fought the battles
And fought them face to face.
His granddad mourned a brother,
My granddad mourned a son,
And each man blamed the other
For every fatal gun.
1898
Then Spain Ger stepped her border,
And sought with terror's reign
To crush our little neighbor:
And sank the noble Maine.
Then my dad Joined the Riders,
And his dad rode to fame
Upon the troubled water
That ebbed the peace with Spain
Twas then they ceased to wrangle,
These men of civil strife
Each felt the common anguish,
Each felt the pride of life
When sons go forth to battle
Against the common foe
AND both men prayed the prayer of one:
God save from death and woe!"

More terrible than San Juan Hill
