habited Spain before the Moorish
conquest The blood in the veins
of these descendants of the Cloths
kappehred blue through the skin,

to other peoples.

Plague in New Orleans

WASHINGTON. Feb. 19.-To COM
bat bubonic plague in New Orleans,
the senate has increased to $780,
900 the appropriation made in the
second deficiency bill for dealing
with epidemics.
The increase was made after a
plea by Senator Ransdell, Demo-
crat, of Louisiana, who said the ap-
preparation of 100000 recommended
by the appropriations committee
would be wholly inadequate.
The suggestion that the amount
be doubled was accepted by Senator
Warren, Republican, chairman Of
the committee, and was approved
by the senate without a record vote.
AS it came from the house the bill
omitted the item altogether.

Miss Leona d. Walters, daughter

AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL STARTS
The two Agricultural Short Term
schools are now under way in our
county, one in the Missouri Valley
and the other in the Modale High
School buildings.
At both centers the work is start
ing off nicely in every respect except
that Of attendance and we are quite
sure that this will improve by the
first of the week. A good supply of
the latest agricultural literature has
been secured in addition to that
which was already on hand.
Just word about the men who
will have charge of these schools.
w. w. Stanield, who has the work
at Missouri Valley, is perhaps the
/, best informed instructor of any of
the forty men who are taking charge
of the forty centers throughout the
state. Besides being a man of con-
siderable farm experience he holds
a Bachelors and Masters degree in
agriculture from the State College at
Ames. He spent one year as an in
structor at Iowa State College and
had charge of the agricultural work
in the Denison High School, which
has one of the strongest vocational
agricultural courses in the state, dur
ing 1917, 1918 and 1919.
Raymond Teachout has charge of
the work at Modale. He is an Ames
graduate who stood high in his class
es while at school. Since finishing
college he has been engaged in farm
ling near Shenandoah. He is man
who has been putting scientific farm
ing into practical use on the farm
but who has made arrangements to
be away from his business for few
months this winter in order to help
out in this movement for better agri-
|culture.
/ These instructors are paid by the
state, no tuition is charged those who
attend these courses, and yet there
are not enough men enrolled as yet
to retain the schools. If you are in
terested in better education either
for yourself or for somebody else, do
what you can to help this movement
J along.
Several men, both young and old
are planning on entering next Mon
day, January 3, and you had better
decide to be among the group.

COST OF CLOTHING

YOU FIGURE III!
The average mems woolen suit
weighs four to five pounds and con-
tains that much or less wool. South
western raw wool shrinks about 65
per cent, while Eastern wool is much
cleaner. The last sales of wool in
the west were at 20 cents a pound
and in the middle west at 40 cents
Based upon either class Of wool the
actual cost of raw material in a
mans wooden suit cannot exceed So
to So. These figures were brought
out by the National Wool Committee
The price of good woolen suit
varies from $50 to $75 at present
If this sum of money were spent for
raw wool no man could carry on his
back the amount of "Wool in the
grease" that either of these sums
would purchase from the farmer di-
direct. Seventy-fve dollars invested
in southwestern wool wohld perhaps
buy 375 pounds.
