colonies and may be successfully treat
ed. It does not exist in this country
so far as we know.
In combating disease it is much
better to prevent it from getting
a foothold than it is to eradicate it
after it has begun its work. All bee
keepers, wherever located, should
practice the following precautionary
measures:
~ If a colony becomes weak from
any cause, or if disease is suspected,
contract the entrance to prevent rob-
bling, and, if robbing is imminent, close
the entrance entirely.

Foul Brood.

American foul brood, the worst of
the foul brood diseases, was recently
found to exist in an apiary near Pease.
The foul brood diseases, both Ameri-
can and European, are widely distrib-
uted in the United States and this
county has been very fortunate in hav-
ing no serious outbreak up to the pres
ent time. However, it is here and
immediate steps must be taken to
eradicate it. P. C. Van Someren of
Princeton has been appointed deputy
inspector to clean up this outbreak
and to prevent it from spreading.
Every beekeeper must cooperate with
him in this matter or the honey in
dustry of this county will run the risk
of being total loss within few
years. In order to impress the seri-
BUSINESS of the situation on the bee
keepers and to teach them to recognize
the disease, the county association has
arranged for tour of apiaries for
Saturday, August 16. Details will be
sent to all members later.

State Lands for Pasture.

Sheep and stock grazing at 1 cent
an acre is the liberal offer made pub
lie by J. A. 0. Preus, state auditor.
Minnesota invites Montana and
other western states in the drouth-
stricken west to feed live stock on her
public domain" said the auditor.
Mr.. Preus, as custodian Of vast
tracts Of state-owned land, announced
that grazing privileges on them will
be leased at nominal sums, as low as
1 cent an acre. Rentals only sufficient
to comply with the laws authorizing
! the leasing of the state lands will be
asked, he explained, and the state will
profit in addition through improve
ment of the lands resulting from the
grazing.
| Anxious to begin this temporary
disposal Of the state tracts, Auditor
Preus requested Fred D. Sherman,
state immigration commissioner, to
arrange to have large number Of
western sheep pastured on an excep-
tionally well adapted section of land
one and one-half miles south of In
ternational Falls. Use of this land
for the purpose indicated, he added,
will mean the beginning Of the sheep
raising industry in Koochiching coun-
ty under most favorable auspices, the
section being so fine that the auditor
once recommended it for state expert
mental farm purposes.

complished by cultivating the home
markets so that there will be no in
centive for bringing in other honey.

queens transfer them to clean cages
provided with candy known to be free
from contamination, and destroy the
old cage, candy and accompanying
workers. OF course, if it is certain
that the queen comes from healthy
apiary this is not necessary.
(5) Colonies Of bees should never
be purchased unless it is certain that
they are free from disease.
(6) The purchase of old combs OF
secondhand supplies is dangerous I'M
less it is certain that they come from
healthy apiaries.

POPULAR GIRL
DIES HERE TODAY
Miss Teresa Maloney Passes Away
After Earning the High Regard
Of Many Friends by Her
Life Here.

Miss Teresa Maloney, OF S27 Bank
street, died this morning. after an Ill
ness dating from an attack OF infiu-
enZa In January.
She was an exceptionally fine young
woman and had made many friends
during the few years she had resided
here. She was employed as clerk
in the Winger store for several years
and made friends of all with whom
she came in contact.
She was born October 8, 1881, at
Edna, Mo-, where the family lived
until coming to Keokuk.
She was a member of the st. Peter
Catholic church and was devoted
church woman.
She is survived by five sisters and
one brother.
Mrs. B. ]. Schneider, Of 1414 Elk
change street and Miss Generose
Maloney, teacher in the George
Washington school, are sisters resid-
ing here, and the brother. John Mallory
also lives here.
Other sisters are Mrs. O'Conner, OF

next to breaking up the conference,
to gain their objectives.
The question there, in the view of
diplomatic and official quarters here
today, centered on what the allies
would give Italy in the way of nava
base facilities to take the place Of
Fiume.
On her eastern coast Italy has no
seaport-nothing that would make a
naval base-between Venice and
Brindisi. Italians insist that this
cannot continue, and allied diplo-
mats are understood here to concede
it tacitly. The view in Washington
is, therefore, that Italy will get, in
stead Of Fiume, some other territory
which will serve her purpose-a
naval station half way between the
north and the south end of the
peninsula. 1t is regarded as reason
able" that she may be awarded ono

POOR WEATHER
FOR FARMING
Cold, Wet and UnfavorabIe For Two
Weeks in Nearly All Sections
of the State--Sunshine
Deficient.

The Iowa weather and crop bulletin
for the week ending April % has
just been issued, as follows:
Cold, wet, unfavorable weather
continued till about Thursday the
18th. when It became warm and
sunshiny, the soil dried rapidly and
field operations were pushed Friday
afternoon, Saturday and Monday art
er suspension for about two weeks
in nearly all sections. Temperatures
averaged one to two degrees below
normal Frost or freezing tempera-
ture occurred on several mornings.
Sunshine was somewhat deficient.
Early seeded oats are up in all parts
of the state, but large acreage re
mains to be seeded in the central
and north portions, and some even
in the south The difference OF three
weeks between the earliest and latest
seeded fields will probably cause
wide variation in the maturity ana
harvest time of this crop. In many
localities, where the seed lay on top
OF the ground, with no opportunity
to disk or harrow it in, it has already
terminated and no further labor can
be put upon it. Poor stands may re-
suit in some localities. Spring wheat
is up and shows a good stand where
seeded before the rains, and Is snow
ing green in some sections. The wet
weather has probably reduced the
acreage somewhat below that in
tended in the central and northern
portions, as it is now too late. Inc
condition of winter wheat rye,
grasses, pastures. meadows and fruit

LEAVE MEETING
Controversy in Paris Over Secret
Treaties Seems Bound to
Make Some Delegates
Quit.

[By Robert J. Bender, United Press
Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, April 24.-Deci-
sion on whether the pact OF London
or the presidents armistice proposal
shall prevail at the peace confer
ence, is expected within twenty-four
hours.
If the pact of London-a secret
agreement between England, France
and Italy, whereby 1taly's detectives
were promised by the other allies
wins out, President Wilson probably
will leave the conference.
If the armistice agreement signed
by all the allied powers prevails,
Italy must yield on her demands for
Fiume, quit the conference or send
new delegates.
The situation is regarded here as
a definite and final showdown be-
tween 1919 model diplomacy and the
age-old statecraft involving secret
treaties. President Wilson, 1t is
stated here, has the support of Lloyd
George and Premier Clemenceau in
refusing Fiume to Italy.
Japan, playing her usual silent
hand, may well see in the present
situation, authorities believe, the at
Ititude which will be shown by the
allied leaders toward her territorial
aims in China.
With announcement today that the
Italian delegates would delay their
threatened departure home, officials
hoped Italy is ready to tax turkey"
Her delegates made the supreme
Highland apparently were beaten.
Their government can not accuse
them of not making every effort.

The Mississippi threatens to go on
a tear again, although it may be only
bluffing.
1t jumped up a foot yesterday and
last night, and this morning the Keo-
kuk guage read fifteen and a half
feet
This is foot and a half above the
danger line and is real flood stage.
A half foot more will do considerable
damage below here.
Quincy was alarmed yesterday at
the high stage there, and this addi-

do much damage in Missouri, across
the river from that city.
Up river the stage is well under the
flood line, and the river is falling
slightly except at Davenport where it
had rise of over two inches.
