HANDICAP EVENT
IN STATE SHOOT
SECTIONAL TOURNAMENTS Tc
BE REPLACED ~ SHOOTS
OPEN TO RESIDENTS ONLY.

The Interstate Trapshooting asso'
citation has announced that this year
it will not hold the Eastern, West.

handicaps, but will hold the Grand
American in August 1T Chicago, on the
same grounds as last year. Instead
of the sectional handicaps, this year
each state sportsmen's association Is
requested to conduct a handicap even'
open only to residents OF the state
giving the tournament, at 100 targets
with handicaps from 16 to % YARDS
The trophies will be distributed un'
der the same division that prevails in
the Grand American handicap.
The Handicap committee Tor eacn
Of the state handicaps will be chosen
by the State Sportsman's association
not by the club giving the tournament
or the Interstate Trapshooting asso.
citation. The committee, which shall
be Of three or five, must be residents
Of the state in question.
Resident amateurs may shoot for
targets only in any Of the state tour.
naments and be eligible to win any OF
the trophies given by the Interstate
association. Nonresident amateurs
and professionals may shoot for tar.
gets only, but shall not be eligible to
share in tho purse nor win any OF the
prizes. Each state association Is re.
quested to conduct a professional
state championship event in connec'
ton with the amateur championship.
There shall be no prize in this event.
This handicap IN Iowa will be held
at the state shoot, and the Interstate
association will donate $s25 to the
purse and the State association will
add $50 in money and also give to the
winner Of the handicap . gold watch
valued at $50.
This State handicap will be a big
attraction for Iowa shooters and will,
no doubt, cause many to attend for the
one event. On account OF being a
handicap Us to 20 yards), it will
probably be won by one Of the short
mark men. The purse will be big
enough to pay the winner good sum.
It will be something entirely new in
the State shoot, and should attract
many entries.

GRAIN REVIEW

Chicago, Feb. 7.-Grain prices hard
ened today, influenced to some extent
by the sinking of the Tuscania. In the
corn market the fact that receipts con-
tinued very small despite better wealth
er tended also to evoke strength.
Opening figures which showed Nc ad-
vance with May $1.25H and March not
quoted. were followed by slight further
upturn.
The fact that no unreasonable low
Temperatures are expected this week
operated later as a check on the ad-
vance. Prices closed firm nc net high
err with May $1.25x.
Meagerness OF offerings caused
strength in oats. After opening a shade
off to Nc advance the market took a
decided upward swing. Big arrivals of
hogs caused provisions to average
lower. Ribs, though, were comparative
ly firm owing to prospects Of increased
shipments to the east.

PIG FOR EVERY
MAN in RANKS
IOWA FARMERS WILL PROVIDE
10000 HOGS THIS SPRING.;
FIGHT CHOLERA.

A hog for every American soldier in
France is expected to be realized as
a result Of campaign carried on by the
us. and the Iowa state departments OF
agriculture several week ago for the
propagation Of the hog supply in con-
nection with the fight upon hog chol-
era.
DR.. j. S. Koen, INSPECTOR in charge
OF hog cholera control for the depart
ment Of agriculture, with headquarters
at Des Moines was in Ottumwa yester-
day and with DR.. John Simons the To-
cal representative Of the department
called upon The Courier.
EXPECT 10000 PIGS
"Our campaign for saving brood
sows and tho propagation Of porkers,
attended by excellent results Dr:
Koen declared. 1.-THE owners OF brood
sows bred them and instead Of selling
them on a high market and realizing
immediate returns, were patrtotic
enough to save them and raise more
pigs that the men who are doing the
fightig might have food. Conservative
estimates by that department for the
success Of the campaign waged in Iowa
show that At least 100000 pigs may be
expected as an increase Of Iowa's hog
1.-THE farmer who held his brood SOW
will not have lost anything by keeping
his sows when high prices were ot1er-
ed for hogs, for the price is still high
and there is little chance Of It falling
low enough for him to lose. Then too
he was an active participant in the
fight against Prussian autocracy IN
that he helped conserve the food supply
as essential as munitions to the soldier.
MUST FIGHT CHOLERA.
1.-THE problem Of saving this 100000
new crop pigs is what we have to mees.
The heavy and continuous SHOWS OF the
present winter has stemmed the
spread Of hog cholera, but this Is only
temporary. It means much because the
disease is confined to the places where
it existed before the winter began. Our
work will be to eradicate it In the
spring and prevent its spread from
these places. To watch the new crop
and stem any progress Of the swine
plague among them, the department
will make an extraordinary effort and
has informed me that as nearly as pos
sible there will be a man assigned TO
every section Of the state to fight
cholera"
