To Get "the Kick"

Burlington, Ia.-Men in touch
with the grape and fruit market
here estimated that fully 500 gal.
Ions of wine will be in process OF
fermentation in this vicinity soon.
A big crop of both wild and tame
grapes, and inability to buy wines Is
given as the reason for more being
made in homes for private use. The
wine, it is said, is being nlanufac-
tured in quantities Of one to FIVE gall
Ions. There is state law against the
practice, but it is asserted many are
taking chances. .8

tuition to those whose sons and hus-
bands died in the service of their
country during the greatest war OF
all time.
There are 1854 insurance claims
being paid in Iowa, through the bu-
reau of war risk insurance to bene-
fciaries named at the time appli-
cation for insurance was made by
soldiers. sailors and marines, now
dead. The average policy carried
by these 1854 men was sS,74O.
Disabled soldiers, as we'll as wild
ows and children and dependents
parents of those who have died, are
being made comfortable by the gov
ernment which is paying 1911 com
pensation claims to residents OF
Iowa.
In addition to the insurance and
compensation claims now being paid
in Iowa there are 1919 of both these
classes of claims under investigation
These cases, however, are rapidly
being adjusted following an investi-
cation by bureau representatives.
The bureau of war risk insurance
which administers these affairs, has
been established by the government
as permanent institution in recog

able to carry as the result Of thi.

state Veterinarian Finds Sixteen
Per Cent of Iowa Hogs and
q Eight Per Cent of Cattle
Afflicted
EXAMINING HERDS
OVER THE STATE
just What State Has Highest Per-
centage Infection Among Its
Animals Not Definitely
known

Sixteen per cent of the hogs and
s per cent OF the cattle in Iowa have
tuberculosis, DR.. Robert Wall, state
veterinarian, estimates.
While this is not an alarming
percentage and is smaller than was
expected before examination of cat
tie herds was begun, it is one whic',
should not exist and one which Is
constantly being decreased, DR.. Wall
says.
Most of the work of the state
veterinarians department now is the
testing Of cattle. The work was he
gun last spring. Three state and five
government men in Iowa test about
ten herds every week. About 39u
herds have already had their first
examination and there are between
500 and 500 applications waiting.
Three examinations are given
during a, year. If on the third test
no animal shows a reaction the herd
is declared to be free from the dis
eaSe and it is listed with the de-
partment of animal husbandry at
Washington. eai
Not a single herd tested thus fay
has come through the first examina
|tion without a reaction. Many, how
ever have had only. one.
When the. tuberculosis is eradi.
Gated from the cattle herds Of the
state the percentage Of infected hog:
will decrease. DR.. Wall says, and In
| time will disappear. One infected
antmal. IL has been shown, vii
quickly spread the disease to other!
on the. farm.
DR.. Wall is strongly in favor Of
extending the government inspection
now applied to beef, pork and othel
meats. to fowls Chickens pick W
the disease from human beings and
from animals on the farms but there
is no inspection at chicken picking
establishments.
When a COW or steer is found tt
have tuberculosis it is appraised ant
then sent to the slaughter. The dif
! ference between the appraisal an,
the price it brings at the slaughteI
house is divided between the farm
err, the state and the United State
government. The state and the fed
eral governments each pay thirt
Of the loss and the farmer stands fc
the remaining third.
! But the limit of the share whicl
the state will pay is $50 for a pur
bred animal and $40 for a grade
The federal governments limit /
$50 for a pure bred and $25 for

speak highly of the production:
my Sunshine Lady" a musical play
produced by LeComte & Fleshe",
which made its formal bow to copper
country theatre patrons at the Calu-
met theatre last night, proved one Of
the most delightful concoctions that
has been brought here in several sea-
sons. In the first place, the title II
not misnomer, for the piece fairly
bristles with bright, timely comedy
and the elaborate settings and cos
tunes contribute much to its success.
The chorus is comely, as a whole, and
the dances are clever. Combined with
this are numerous song hits, par
ticularly "My Sunshine Lady" 90:
Believe in Fairies" and Love os
Mine," which are we'll handled.
Miss Gunrun Walberg, who will be-
remembered in my Soldier Girl" a
captivating little musical play that
appeared here two years ago, DON'T
mates the production for she sings.
dances and smiles, all with bewilder-
ing grace. She is ably supported b.
Allan Carter, as Richard Morgan,
whose mellow tenor voice won pro-
found favor, and Laura Baer as
Rhoda. Miss Baer has delightful
contralto voice. The comedy is sup.
piled by Tom Crowley who plays I.
black-face role and plays it well,
Bessie Delmore as Tillie Watts and
Ralph Pogue, who appears in tho
role of Rhoda's newly acquired hus-
band.
Contrary to most musical shows.
there is clever little plot in my
Sunshine Lady," which is introduced
in the prologue and is sustaine.
throughout the production.--Cal
met, Mich. News.
my Sunshine Lady" catchy lit
tie musical play, was presented by
LeComte & Flesher to capacity hous-
es at the Henry Boyle thatre Sunday
matinee, and night. The production
was far superior to what had been
generally expected and was marked
by the excellence, lavishness. cleanli-
ness and harmony Of its scenic eff
fects and costuming. The male mem. :.
bers of the chorus were possessed Of
unusually good voices and while the
same could not be said of the femin-
inc chorus, nevertheless the latter
made up in their drills and dancing
ability what they lacked in the way
of good voices. The play is a charm
ing little two act production that is
bound to please anywhere and con-
sidering the fact that it has only
been on the road two weeks, its
showing here was exceptional. Gun
Irun Walberg, who is well known
here and who has large local fol-
lowing because of her previous ap-
pearance in my Soldier Boy" scor-
ed hit in the leading role of Bah
ette. Allan Carter as Richard Nor
gan and Tom Crowley as Petuniax

parts. Miss Walberg's dancing was
especially pleasing. All in all MY
