Labor Delegates Disappointed
Labor delegates refused to discuss
the delay of the peace conference, but
reports OF conversations with other
passengers indicated they were disap-
pointed, and deplored the attitude Of
the American peace delegation as max
ing for the spread of Bolshevism. Mr..
Duncan said the American labor dele
gates opposed strenuouslv the pro
gramme of the Socialist labor leaders
OF Europe. In their refusal to support
the desire of the French and British
laborltes to participate in the interna-
tlonal Socialist conference at Berne,
Mr. Duncan said they were upheld by
the representatives, of the Belgian trade
uniops in Paris.
among the passengers was GREGORY
Aleboorg, Russian, who said he was y

retary OF the Russian Minister of Labor

smacked so much of Bolshevism he

IOWA BILL ON
TUBERCULOSIS
Will be Big Advantage to Farmers Of
Iowa to Save the Hogs and Cat
tie That They May Become
Free From Disease
1877 HERDS HAVE
BEEN UNDER SUPERVISION
Cattle Testing Is to be Done Free OF
Charge for What is Known as
Accredited Herds

If farmers and dairymen of Iowa
take advantage of the tuberculosis
bill which passed the legislature
during last session and which goes
into effect on publication, this state
which now has one of the highest re-
cords for tuberculosis among hogs
and cattle may become practically
free from the. disease. In addition
breeders whose cattle obtain certi-
fcates can ship interstate without
additional tests.
DR.. H. F. Thompson, who is to
have charge of the state testing, now
has 1877 herds which have been un-
der supervision since last September.
Some Of these are being tested once
and some twice year. All diseased
animals are then removed from the
herd as the test shows them up up.
Those herds which pass two annual
tests obtain a certificate as allowed
in the Accredited Herd system.
The herds tested so far are those
which owners thought clean but they
have been eight per cent tubercular.
DR.. Thompson estimates that some
herds in Iowa will run as high as 80
per cent tubercular In one place out
of II cattle tested he found 81 tubu-
cular. And this dairyman had been
shipping milk into Des Moines!
When he found the cows were tubu-
cular he shipped them to Chicago for
butchering making double distri-
button of tuberculosis.
The new law is designed to do
away with this danger to human be-
ings, yet to protect the farmer or
dairyman from heavy loss by pro-
viding federal funds for indemnities
on cattle which reach from tubercu-
losis. On grade cattle the state pays
one-third of the value above salvage
up to a maximum of $25. On pure
bred cattle the figures are $50 and
$50 plus salvage. In other words, on
reachters you get the salvage plus a
total Of not over So on grades and
$3.50 on purebreds.
In addition to this indemnity fund
the cattle testing is to be done free
Of charge for what is known as Ac-
credited Herds These may be either
grade or purebred cattle.

Trimmed Rockford In Eleven Inning
Game. Luther Has Best Ball
Team in Years
THE PITCHERS HAVE
ALL GOT THE STUFF
Big Game Booked for College
Grounds Next Friday When st.
Mary's College of WinOna
Comes

Luther won her third successive
victory Monday afternoon when she
defeated the fast city team from
Rockford, Ill. in an extra inning
game. The Rockford men showed
themselves to be splendid consistent
players and showed by their rally in
the ninth that they could deliver the
goods when called upon for them,
but the college boys showed them
how to treat 'em rough"
Luther's first half of the 2 to1
score came in the fourth when Bron-
Estad got on on an error by the first
baseman, advanced to second when
B0ttOlfson got a walk and came in
on k Soriein's hit to center. Rock
ford had a blank record until the
first taff of the ninth. With two men
on bases double play, L. Sorlein
to Weisers gave Rockford two men
down but at the same time advanced
Black to third. Black scored on a
wild pitch but was Rockford's only
man to come home. In the last of the
eleventh Bronstad hit three-bagger
to deep left and scored the winning
run on Bottolfson's fly to center.
Ellingson pitched for Luther and
gave the same grade Of ball that
brought Luther the long end of
2 RI I soOro in tho fwoIffh ;pr;n0
against st. Joseph last week. Weiser
did fine work on short in taking
several hot ones straight from the
bat, although the whole team played
tight ball. Much credit is due Coach
ELaudel for putting the team in tip
top shape.

Eagle Grove, Ia.-One of the pro-

has experienced the difficulty of keep
ing the employe on the farm and
has profited by his experience is
Fred Dencklau Of near Vincent. Be-
sides Of having one Of the best
equipped farms in Iowa for the care

Gently added hollow tile crib and
granary with capacity of about 20
000 bushels, rat and fire proof, he
has been spending some time think
ing what might make the farm more
attractive place for the average
workman.
Approaching his place the trav-
eler's attention is attracted to un-
usual sounds from long, low, brick
structure, which might be an up-to-
the minute hog or cattle shed-but
isn't.
Going around to the end and
walking in he finds well-equipped
regulation bowling alley, maintained
for entertainment Of the men en-
ployed on the farm.
1t is a safe bet that Mr.. Dencklau
isn't troubled with keeping help
and waiting until late in the night
for them to return homo from a
trip to the pool halls and bowling
alleys of the towns about.
