LIVING COST DOUBLED
State Board u Control Finds lnersaSs
Of Between rs and 100 Per Cent Dur.
ing Biennial Period-RscSmwsnds
Sale Of Flynn Farm.

Des Moines. Nov. 20.--The cost o!
living advanced from 10 to- 100 per
cent In the biennial period which closed
July Of this year as compared to the
previous biennial period, the state
board Of control sets forth In its report
filed with Governor Harding today.
1t cost the state $l01,706 more for
coal this last two years than In the
previous two years. The increase in
the cost OF -four used in the state in
situations amounted to $4,000, OF
| beef $4,000 and Of sugar $1,000.
This increase was so abnormal. the
board states. that the monthly per
capita allowance asked for by the
board and allowed by the legislature
was found to be entirely inadequate
to properly support the wards at the
state institutions. Hence the execu-
tive council authorized the board to
incur indebtedness for necessary
support for the four months OF
March, April, May and June Of this
year amounting to s210,252.60.
All building operations were sus-
pended except those absolutely nee
essary, the board points out.
The total amount Of products
grown on the farms the past two
years are valued at sS12,526. an In
crease of $S7.74321 over those pro-
duced the previous two years.
The board recommends the sale OF
the Flynn farm at Olive. ten miles west
of Des Mones. and also the sale OF
Granite farm in Linn county. and the
purchase of land in the vicinity of Fort
Madison and Anamosa on which to
employ prisoners.
The Flynn farm of Isl acres was
purchased at 5000 per acre and was
to have been used for custodial
farm. but the legislature did not
work this plan out and 1t has been
used as a prison farm, Granite farm
in Linn county. was purchased for
a rock quarry, but it is too far away
from Anamosa to be practical place
on which to work Anamosa prisoners.
the board states.
The board also recommends the
changing of the inebriate hospital at
Knoxville into an institution for fee
BILE minded children for which the
board declares there is great need.
The board recommends that the
minimum age for admission of boys
to the industrial school at Eldora be
fixed at ten years. 1t asks that the
name of the institution at Anamosa
be changed to mems refornatory in
stead of the reformatory.
The present members of the board
are A. NJ. Mccall, Woodward: J. II.

CoE CLAIMS GRID TITLE.
Dubuque German College Not Re
aarded as Real Contender.

Special to Times Republican.
Cedar Rapids, Nov. 2o-F'rom pres
ent indications Coe and Dubuque Ger
man College are going to find it i'm
possible to arrange a post-Season
date for deciding the football cham
pionship of the Iowa conference. IL
terviews with officials here make ii
clear there is but little chance of the
two teams getting together.
Coe is not inclined to listen to the
claims from the college at Dubuque
since they have played but one con-
ference game while the Cedar Rapids
school has played three. The victory
Of Dubuque over Grinnell is not taken
as indicative of the relative strength
OF the two teams. The game in which
Dubuque secured her right to contend
for the championship was the first of
the season for Grinnell and the de-
:eat was due to lack Of condition and
practice on the part Of the Scarlet and
Black rather than the supremacy of
Dubuque tactics. The Grinnell game
was the only conference match ar
ranged for Dubuque and is the only
one played.
On the other. hand Coe won from
Grinnell week ago at a time wher
the Grinnell team was pointed" for
the contest and admittedly had a COM
plete new set Of plays for tho game
1t was only by superior football that
Coe won her i0-to-S victory. Twice
Coe has met Cornell The first game
ended in a 0-to-0 score; the second

special 10 lrleS-iNepupilIStii.
Iowa City, Nov. 2O.-The supreme
court OF Iowa has reversed the decis-
ion of the district court in the case of
Andrews VS.. Armasast, and thereby
has handed down another important
decision touching prominent Iowa
City pioneers. and involving hundreds
of rich acres in Mills county, the total
amount of property involved reaching
$500, 600 or more in value.
In this particular suit Jessie An
drews and Mary Andrews ArmaSast
are litigants. The original suit was
instituted by Mrs. Belle Gray Curtis
pioneer of Iowa City. now a leading
literary and club woman of San Fran
cisco. She won her case, and as re-
suit received eight years back income
and has been receiving an income from
the estate at issue for number of
years. since her victory in all courts.
The division of the property was not
ordered. however. pending the con-
clsion OF other litigation. Now, how
ever partition of the great estate will
follow Jessie Andrews defeat in the
supreme court.
Jessie Andrews, aunt of Mrs. Belle
Gray Curtis. was the sister of James
D. Andrews. and Mary Andrews Anna
CAST, a cousin of Mrs. Curtis, was the
daughter of James D. Andrews.
Mr.. Andrews was one OF the central
figures in the original lawsuits insti-
tuted by Mrs. Curtis and fought by ner
to a successful conclusion. thru var
ious courts in Iowa, Nebraska and
New York. He was the alleged william
of the play" 1t was alleged that he
induced his mother 10 sign a deed,
which he represented was merely a
power of attorney, whereas in fact the
document conveyed all her property to
him thus impoverishins his own mother
and two sisters.
The long years of litigation thus end
with a complete triumph for Mrs. Belle
Gray Curtis. and the defeat of all litl-
giants VINO have denied or attacked
her rights to recover a fortune due to
her from her wronsed mother. In
cidentallv. it makes her one of Iowa
City's wealthiest women.
