G. A. Meyer Gives Stag Party.

G.. A Meyer, feeling that he really
was under obligations to many of the
fellows, gave fine blowout" at Ho-
tel Calmar, last evening at which
principally were present Calmar bust
ness and professional men.
G. A. is a very genial and liberal
host and made the evening pass very
pleasantly indeed for those fortunate
to be of the guests.
The occasion was Mr.. Meyers
birthday, of which we wish him many
repeaters. Last year a bunch of fell
lows surprised him and gave him a
lovely gold watch, and this year he
decided to surprise them.
The time was all too short, and
was passed in card playing, social in
tercourse, smoking and a splendid
feed, roast turkey and what usually
goes with it, When it comes to get
ting away refreshments we can play
as well as the rest of them.-Calmar

A Joke on the Law of Supply and
Demand

For once the country is likely to
witness a reversal of the supposedly
immutable law of supply and de-
mand. Under normal conditions the
greater the number of hogs market
ed in the great stock centers the
more marked the tendency toward
lower prices. But 1918 is likely to
bring a reversal of that order. The
greater the number of hogs raised
and fed out the higher will be the
price. 1t is simple enough and due to
the extraordinary conditions prevail
ing in the meat-eating world.
1t all hangs on the recently estab-
lished ratio of thirteen to one; that
is, the price of thirteen bushels of
corn shall be the value of one nun
dred pounds of pork on foot. Now,
the price of corn depends upon the
amount shipped to market, rather
than the amount raised and fed to
stock. The more fed to hogs the less
there will be to go to market, espe-
cially with this great crop OF soft
corn, the bulk of which is unfit for
cribbing. This brings us back 20 the
starting point and the ratio of thir-
teen to one. AS marketable corn
grows scarce and the prime climbs to
higher levels the price of hogs must
climb along with it.
The farmer with a nice bunch of
has little reason to lie awake nights
worrying about the price they will
bring later on, says Greater Iowa.

HOG CHOLERA CURE FAKE.
Iowa State College Investigators
Warn Against Purchase of
Swine Medicine"

Ames, Ia, Jan. 21.-A fake hog
cholera cure and specifics of which
the farmer should beware has been
pushed for sale in Iowa during the
past few months. That it is a fake
was disclosed by an examination OF
packages of this alleged remedy
which were seized by agents of the
United States department of agricul-
ture.
1T contained 40 ingredient or
com animation of Ingredients capable
of producing the curative effects
claimed on the labels" writes Pres
ident r. A. Pearson of Iowa state
college from Washington, where the
investigation was conducted. BE
cause a good many farmers have
bought this remedy and relied upon
it," he adds, "some pork which is
much needed in the markets has been
lost"
When the chemists and veterinary
scientists examined this alleged rem
edy they found it to consist of a
brown mixture containing chiefly
coarsely ground vegetable fiber,
common salt, sulphate of iron and
nitrate of soda.
1t was sold at an exorbita1t price,
considering the value of its ingredi-
ents, and it had no value as a cure
for hog cholera or the other diseases
named on the labels.
1t is an accepted fact among scie1-
tific men that there is at present no
known cure or specific for hog
cholera. Actual tests of many alleged
remedies have been made at the Ia
boratories at Ames and elsewhere
and none has proved effective. The
only product known which will i'm
munize hogs against cholera is the
Miles, Dorset anti-hog cholera serum.
Reliance upon so-called cures is like
ly to be dangerous and expensive
say the expert veterinarians at Ames.

FIFTY SHOATS BRINGS $500.
Pigs Fed on Glover and Soft Corn
Bring High Prices.

Rowan, Jan. Pr. E. Lee Aid
rich AID Sons, of the Willow Hill
Stock Farm, last week sold to o. r.
Myers, of Solberg, fifty head of Po-
land-China shoats for the neat sum
of $4,000.
These hogs were all farrowed after
April Is, 1917 and were fed on Glow
er and corn (mostly soft).
Mr.. Aldrich has been constant
breeder of Poland-China hogs for the
market for the last thirty-five years
on the same farm and claims the
Iowa farmer has no better PROPOSE
ton than a few good Polands even

Where is the true mans fatherland?
Is it where he by chance is born?
Doth not the yearning spirit scorn
In such scant borders to be spanned ?
O., yes! his fatherland must be
AS the blue heaven wide and free!
Is it alone where freedom is,
Where God is God and man is man ?
Doth he not claim a broader span
For the SOULS love of home than this !?
O, yes! his fatherland must be
As the blue heaven wide and free!
Where'er a single slave doth pine,
one man may help another
Thank God for such birthright,
brother,
That spot on earth is thine and mine!
There is the true mans birthplace
grand,
His is worldwide fatherland!

Fifty-two counties of the state are

number of applications were turned
down because it was impossible to ac-
commodate them. Every available
rom was engaged and many students
are compelled to live off the campus
proper. Fully fifty students from
outside states were refused admis-
sion, the preference being given to
Florida girls. The faculty this year
is practically the same as last year.
The school of music offers new feat
ure, and new teacher of wide exper-
fence has been added to the music fac
ulty.
The handsome new buildings that
have been in the course of construc,
ton for several months are very
nearly completed. The college has in
stalled and equipped large dairy
farm which will amply furnish milk
and butter for the students. One of
the strongest features of the college
