it thus practically eliminating johnson
as a candidate.
News of the agreement started lively
speculation whether the chances of
any presidential candidate would be
aided or injured by the adjustment
The generally expressed first impress
sion was that it would affect none of
them except perhaps Senator Johnson
He immediately hailed as victory for
the principles he had advocated, but it
was pointed out it probably would re-
move the opportunity which many
delegates thought he wanted for i'm
passioned debate on the subject on the
convention floor.
Candidates Will Not Talk.
Lowden, Wood, Butler and Harding
headquarters refused to issue any
statement at once on the plank 1t
was said that Governor Lowden might
have something to say later in the day.
but General Woods managers were in
clined to think their candidate would
remain silent for the present.
Senator Crane withheld comment,
but Ogden Mills, of New York. who
worked with him, said Mr.. Crane was
perfectly satisfied"
THE proposal came from. our side, :"
said Mills, land was accepted just as it
was received three weeks ago. from
Mr.. Root To this statement, Senator
Borah, a leader of the irreconcilables,
said his side had secured omission OF
many provisions in another text sub
mitted yesterday by Mr.. Mills-the
Crane plank.
1t is understood there is no specific
mention of the League of Nations, but
there is inferential reference to it in q
denunciation of the course of the pres
ident in the conduct of foreign affairs
in which he is blamed for failure to
consult the senate. The senate was
commended for its course, with refer
ence to the general subject without
differentiating in regard to the views
I of different groups of senators.
The provision makes specific decla-
ration in favor of support of al
American obligations and announces
the determination of the court which
would devote itself to the promotion OF
| justice among nations without com
uniting the country to entangling al
| liances.

LAST CALL FOB EXHIBIT s

Farmers who have threshed good
crop OF small grains Of good qualify
should save samples for the County
Fair. These exhibits will consist Of
half bushel quantities. A class has
also been provided for sheave grain ex-
hibits. Also for forage crops, such
as clover. alfalfa, soy beans, etc.
Don't forget the class for ensilage
which will be displayed in sealed
quart jars. Farmers who have en-
silage which includes soy beans should
make a special effort to bring it to
the county fair.
y Now is the time to slick up the
old mare, wash up the cows and the
calves for the fair. A good bath and
rub down will do wonders to the coat
OF the animals. and especially would
this apply to the swine exhibit. Don't
neglect the animals and bring them to
the fair and wonder why they do not
look as neat as some others. Help

If 4SHE, SHOULD STRIKE.

If Iowa farm women should strike
for an eight hour day and better pay,
what would happen?
They are actually working from IL
to Is hours day in summer and II
hours in winter. They are not only
taking care of the housework, but
looking after the poultry and garden
and assisting more or less often with
the outdoor work, depending upon the
need for their help.
These are other interesting facts
about the life of farm women brought
out in preliminary survey in one
township in each seven counties Of
Iowa. Black Hawk, Beuna Vista, Gin :
ton, Franklin, Jones. Webster and
Wright. The total number OF homes
visited was $50.
OF the $50 homes, 367, or 81 per cent.

hired help in the house: 50. or.26 per
cent, had gas ore electric lights; lib
or 81 per cent. had furnace heat; 81,
or "a per cent, had running water in
the house; 60, or 10 per. cent, indoor
toilets; SO, or % per cent, had bath
tubs, while $50. or "a per cent, had
washing machines. That is con-
sierably better record that the record
of woman's work on the farm recently
secured by the U. s. Department of
Agriculture in 10000 farm homes In
northern states.
On the farms visited, 123 women
helped with the milking, POI worked
at least Is hours daily in summer and
174 worked at least II hours day in
winter. The number who. do their

This will be in cooperation with the
Extension Departmental heads and

farmers and especially officers Of the
Farm Bureau make special effort to
be on hand Farm Bureau days. August

1915 HERDS SUPERVISED.


At the close Of July, Iowa had 1916
herds OF cattle under supervision for
tuberculosis eradication. while rs OF
these were accredited herds.
That record marks very good gain,
for about year before the number OF
herds unde supervision was only 1.252-
The gain has been rapid as the APP
preparations and the workers avail
able would permit. While the State
legislature in 1919 made an appropria-
ton OF 500, 900 annually for this work.
that sum has not been adequate to
keep supervision work up with the
demands. Increasing costs have made
this appropriation shrink considerably
and at present the state Is able to hold
Its experts mainly because OF their
deep interest in the work for the SAL
aries Of inspectors are relatively low.

COW TESTING PAYS.
II John Geraghty OF Clayton County
were asked whether the COW. testing
association is profitable to its MEM
bers he would say, yes" most en-
phatically. He knows, because as q
member Of the McGregor COW testing
association, he has proved its value.
He says that it has cost him only $50
to belong to the association for NUM-
Der Of years, whereas his books show
that 1t has been worth at least $500
to him.
To illustrate how the COW testing
association has been profitable to MIR.
Geraghty, 1t may be stated that it
showed him how to Increase his butter
fat IS pounds per COW in the past
year. He discovered through the test
work of the year previous that certain
feeding methods brought the best re-
suits at the pail with his COW. He
therefore applied those methods dur
ing the past year with the results
that his average production per COW
increased from 301 pounds OF butter
tat to 3S6 pounds. The association
has also helped him to weed out UNI
profitable cows and determine those
which make him money. As q result
his average production per COW has
been tremendously Increased. Mr..
Geraghty. thinks these are sufficient
reasons for backing the Association.

Military service records of all men
are being used in efforts to locate
them. They will be personally visited,
and if not already a member of the
Legion, an endeavor will be made to
interest them in the organization.
Admission is limited to men who
were in the service of the federal gov
