COURT commEhps LOSER.
Judge Evans Pays Compliment to
Faithfulness Of Li.isant.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines. Feb. 9.-In an opinion
written by Judge William D. Evans
Of the Iowa supreme court and handed
down Friday high praise is bestowed
on the devotion Of the plaintiff to
motherless babe but the plea OF the
plaintiff to keep the child is denied.
The case appealed from Wapello
county and was entitled Constance
Hope Winter by her next friend. Ella
Buchanan. against Nicholas Winter
The lower court awarded the custody
of the child to the father and the high
court says 1t IL not justified in inter-
fering with the finding Of the trial
court.
In his opinion judge Evans, in re-
viewing something of the history OF
the little girl, now years OF age, and
Of the devotion of her aunt, Ella Buch-
anan, to her, says:
She was born in the arms OF dy-
ing mother whose life went out as that
Of the babe came in. The only han~
of rescue held out to the helpless waif
was that of Ella Buchanan. She took
it and nurtured it.
IT'S life hung by thread for many
months. Night and day she devoted
herself to it with beautiful fidelity. II
would be difficult to exaggerate the
magnitude of her unselflsh devotion.
The father contributed the paltry sum
Of So per week as contribution TO
expenses incidental to such care. Even
this he contributed as guardian out OF
property Inherited from the mother.
Miss Buchanan, who is a profession
al nurse, asked for the continuing Gus
tody of the life which her hand had
saved. Judge Evans concludes his
opinion as follows:
Upon the record before us we think
that we should not be justified in inter
fering with the finding Of the triai
court II the degree Of approving recoS-
n!tion due the plaintiff for her three
years Of service and self denial couio
be the criterion of our judgment we
could not fail to find in her favor. But
such Is not the criterion permitted to
us and judgment must fall with grim
disregard of the tenderness that soften
ed the bed of a babe and twice-blesseo'
'perohance, the heart that gave 1T.
ITO the defeated plaintiff, be it said'
well done, thou good and faithful

PRISON SHOPS SHORT HANDED.
Decreasing Population Hampers Indus
tries at Fort Madison.

Fort Madison. Feb. 9.-The admin
istration Of the state prison here Is
meeting with some little difficulty m
keeping the various industries running
at full force, owing to the decreasing
population Of the place.
But three mon out OF the entire pris-
ON population Of SAB at the present time
are physically incapacitated and unable
to work, thus leaving $40 men to run
the institution and the various camps.
Fifty Of that number are at the diff
ferent farm colonies and out Of the 500
or so men left within the walls, POS are
required to fill the two Industrial con-
tracts-the chair and tool contracts.
This leaves the smallest number on
record here for other work at the pris-
on: the various state shops which must
be kept running regardless Of the other
two contracts.
With the termination Of the Iowa
Farming Tool Cofnpany's contract In
the spring, however, things will be cas-
Ter to handle. Authorities are contem-
plating broadening the honor system
ats that time In order to release more
men for work, outside tho Institution.
Because Of the shortage Of labor IL,
the country during these stringent war
times, the officials believe that the var
ious state institutions Of the kind To-
Gated here should assist In relievang
conditions.

NEW INDUSTRY UNCERTAIN.
lowans Advised to Study Problems OF
Qruu Plant GROWING

Iowa City, Feb. 9.-Aany Iowans who
have heard OF the fabulous returns to
be had from the growing OF drug plants
have called on Dean W. J. Teeters OF
the state university's college Of phar-
macy for authentic Information. 1t Is
true he says, that at the present war
prices a good profit can be made but
the amateur should be sure that he
knows what he is about before enter
ing this enterprise.
The growing OF drug plants Is COM
plicated and entirely different from
the growing Of ordinary crops, the uni
versity pharmacist explains. The cul-
tivation and marketing must be done
under an entirely new set Of condi-
tions. 1t requires expert knowledge
of the habits Of the plants to grow
them successfully and the commercial
details are also different, Intensive
gardening methods are essential.
The seed must be started in a
greenhouse and seedlings propa gatcn
in cold room to make them rigorous
enough to set in The field" says Dean
Teeters. The leaves are stripped when
the plant is in bloom and dried at
once by artificial heat in especially
constructed drying houses in order to
have a drug acceptable for the trade.
There are many insect pests that must
be combatted."
The university's experimental drug
garden which was begun last year will
be conducted again this year in con-
nection with the laboratories of the
university, and the problems in con-
nection with the successful growing of
medicinal drugs suitable for this lati-
tuGe will he worked out and informa
ton furnished to lowans who arc In
tercsted in dru. plant cultivation.
