a very interesting address on condi-
lions and life in Japan.

Hot tea or chocolate poured into
dainty cups cracks them instantly. :
: A Chinese merchant gave this bit Of
information when a rare tea set was
purchased from him: Before using
delicate China place it in pan of
cold water. Let it come gradually to
a boil and allow the china to remain
in the water till cold" This tempers
the china and it is capable of with
standing the sudden expansion caused
by the heat. There is no need of re-
peating the treatment. for long time.

While Nat Goodwin was appearing
in Nathan Hale" the popular actor
had opportunities not only to Illus
trate his well-known ability as q
comedian, but also to demonstrate his
less known power as a tragedian.
When the hero was about to be

there should have. been, for one night
the steam heaters became unmanage-

that the audience began to litter. and

PIERCE NOT TO
meet DELEGATION
Des Moines Editor WithdraWs Agree
ment for Conference Wednesday
With Variety of Excuses.
PIERCE CHARGES UNFAIRNEss
Homestead Publisher Says Affair Has
Been Turned Upon Him Unfairly
Writes Letter of Refusal.

DIES MONIES, Ia, June 81. M
Pierce, publisher of the Iowa Home
stead, today announced that he had
withdrawn his consent to meet dele
cation of Council Bluffs soldiers which
was coming here Wednesday to dis
cuss with him published statements
concerning Iowa's methods of selling
Liberty bonds and criticism of the
Council Bluffs bureau. Mr.. Pierce said
he declined because he learned the
proposed meeting was political trick
by his enemies to discredit him"
COUNCIL BLUNFS, Ia, June TO-
James M. Pierce, publisher of the Iowa
Homestead, has refused. to meet the
delegation OF returned soldiers from
Council Bluffs who wished to take up
with him his attacks on the Iowa sys.
tenn of war funds solicitation. He had
previously agreed to receive them on
next Wednesday at IL o'clock at his
Office. His reason for the withdrawal
of his agreement, he gives as the in,
famed public opinion which has been
raised against him by the soldiers of
southwestern Iowa. He says the news
papers of the state have so played up
the proposed trip of the veterans that
he must absolutely refuse to meet the
delegation.
His refusal was sent to the Council
Bluffs delegation in a ten-page special
delivery letter to the commander of
the local post Of veterans Monday. He
says in it that he will be glad to re-
ceive in writing anything the veterans
have to say and promises to give it
reasonable" space in the Homestead,
but he will not see the delegation.
A good deal of Mr.. Pierce's letter is
devoted to his civil war record and an
account of the correspondence between
him and the Council Bluffs post of
veterans In his letter he says:
"A number of things have happened
and a regrettable condition has de-
veloped that make me reconsider my
sincere intention to meet you here on
Wednesday and withdraw my agree
ment to receive you. Instead OF this
meeting being mutually satisfactory
gathering, in which you could state
your views to, me. and could explain
to you fully thereasDns that prompted
my action in issuing the special Pot
tawattamie county, edition Of Iowa
Homestead, it has been turned into a
political maneuver by the hostile press
of the state through inflammatory
dispatches sent broadcast from the
office Of The Nonpareil at Council
Bluffs have been subjected to gross
ly false and unfair attacks in the
newspapers of the state, which are op-
posed to me, not because of my atti.
tude on the questions involved in the
matters which l hoped to discuss with
you, but because of my exposure of
rotten and corrupt political conditions
in this state. I have been branded by
them as disloyal and unpatriotic and
the statement has been sent broadcast
that am to be called to account by
your committee and compelled to an.
swer questions which you will put to
me-" d.

HAIL LOSSES
REPORTED UNDER NEW
INSURANCE STATUTE

Bismarck. n; D., June 23.-Eleven
hundred hail losses have been re-
sorted to .date under the state hail
insurance act, Insurance Commits
Homer Olsness advised today. This
number Isl several times greater than
he total for the whole year under
he old. more completely voluntary
tate insurance plan. which was pat
.onized by a comparatively few farm
/ .rs
Some of the early losses reported
nave been reconsidered by the farm
srs and their claims have been with
Drawn, says Commissioner Olsness. He
issues a warning against the reckless
reporting of claims. citing the fact
that In many instances the indemnity
finally awarded will lot equal the cost
Of adjustment. and calling the farm
ers' attention to the further fact that
zach penny of cost under the hail in
plan will be ~pro-rated back
to him. The commissioner states
that it is almost impossible at this
season toj determine with n GER
tainty the extent sof damage. and he
asks the farmers to withhold reports
until they are reasonably confident
that they have a legitimate claim.

MAY SETTLE
DISPUTE OVER
FIGHT TODAY
Selection of Referee and
Judges For July Fourth
Battle to be Made.

Toledo. June 23.-With the arrival
today of Major A. j. Drexel Biddle,
Of the army. navy and
civilian board of boxing control. the
question of selecting a referee, and
possibly two judges. for the heavy
weight championship contest between
Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey here
July 4 is expected to be settled be-
fore night. =.
Adam Empie. secretary of the
board, has beNp in Toledo since Sat
urday discussing the issue with Tex
Richard, Willard, Jack kearns oman
ager of Dempsey. and members of
the Toledo boxing commission. A
campaign has beer in progress among
Toledo sports in the interest of Ollie
Pecord, official referee of the Toledo
boxing commission, whose appoint
ment as third mar in the ring l.as
been openly urged. AS the Indepen-
dence day match will be held under
license issued by the Toledo commits
sion. it is regarded as probable that
the commission will have consider
able to do in naming the referee.
The consensus of opinion seems to
be that in addition to the referee two
judges also will be named. The box
ing board has expressed a preference
to- this plan. The referee would be
called upon to render a decision only
in case of a disagreement between the
two judges.
