OF BENEFIT TO FARMERS

The new serum law will become
operative in Iowa July 1, and Iowa
farmers will then have available the
opportunity to learn for themselves
the art of administering serum to
swine affected with hog cholera.
This law, which was passed by
the last general assembly, provides
that on the request of seven farmers
a county agent can make request of
the officials of the extension depart
ment of Ames for the holding of a
school OF instruction which farmers
can attend and obtain instruction on
the administering of hog cholera
serum. Those making the request
are required to deposit IS each to
defray the expenses OF the school.
The extension department will
then send out a man to hold such
a school in the county from which
the request came. Those attending
must pass an examination before
they will be given a permit to vac
cinate their own hogs. This permit
will be good for one year but does
not entitle the holder to vaccinate
any animals except his own.
This law was one of the farm bu-
reau laws which passed the Thirty
ninth general assembly and was
prompted by the complaint that the
cost of vaccination in many locali-
ties was too high. Under the old
law, farmers could go to Ames and
secure instruction in the administer
ing Of serum and after passing an
examination, secure a permit, but
this was costly procedure, especial
ly IL man lived some distance from
Ames. Hence there grew up a de-
mand for new serum law, with the
result that the new law was adopted
to take effect July 1.

ATLANTIC men
INJURED BY POSSE
MISTAKEN FOR MAIL ROBBERS
WHILE ENROUTE TO THEIR
HOMES IN ATLANTIC.

A.: E. Goold, taxi owner, and Earl
Alexander, lineman for the Postal
Telegraph Company, of Atlantic,
were shot, and the former seriously
wounded at 1 o'clock on Saturday
morning, on the outskirts of Anita
by posse of citizens who mistook
the two men for the Arion mail rob-
bers.
Goold and Alexander were return
ing from Valley Junction. Goold
had driven the latter along the
Postal line from Earlham east to do
some repair work. They left Valley
Junction at $3.50 on their return
trip.
According to Alexander there were
upward of dozen men in the posse.
They were headed by Art Dean,
Anita's town marshal. The posse
was armed with shot guns.
Alexander was driving the car. AS
it was entering the east outskirts of
the town it passed between two cars
parked on either side of the road
way. Someone shouted to Goold and
Alexander to halt. "They are trying
to hold US up; step on her." was
Goods warning 20 Alexander.
Without further warning a volley
of shot poured into the car. Parts
of several charges struck Goold, who
was on the right side of the seat. A
part of one charge passed almost en-
tirely through his leg. A dozen shot
punctured his right arm and his
right side was filled with shot. Some
of the shot hit him in the face. AL
exander, being on the opposite side
escaped with single shot, which
entered his face, coming out in his
mouth.
The side of the ear on which
Goold was sitting was riddled. AL
exander says that apparently every
man in the posse was armed with a
shotgun and all took part in the at
tack.
Members of the posse say they
were warned from Adair to be on
the lookout for two men in Dodge
car, going west, and supposed to be
the persons who Friday night over
powered the telegraph operator at
Arion, in Crawford county, and es-
capped with six pouches of mail. 1t
was reported from Arion that the
robbers headed south in an automo-
bile.
One hundred and fourteen shot
wounds were found in Goods body
when he was taken to the Atlantic
hospital. At noon. Saturday, it was
said that unless complications devel.
oped Gould would recover.

AUDUBON DEFEATS ATLANTIC
Home Team Worked Efficiently Last
Sunday, Administering Decisive
Defeat to the Visitors.

Concerning last Sundays ball
game, played on the local diamond,
the News-Telegraph tells the story
in the following:
"The Merchants Greys took an
awful drubbing at the hands of the
Audubon Legion team Sunday after
noon, the game being played on the
latter's grounds. The final count
was Is to 5, Atlantic taking the
short end.
THE Greys were handicapped by
the loss of their regular twirler,
c"Whitie"), and although the boys
collected ten safe hits, they were
well scattered and didn't net many
runs. The Audubon team pounded
out eighteen safe hits and run in
one or more scores in all but the
second inning.
"Lassen and Perryman were the
battery for the greys, and Tarlton
and Stafford worked for the Audi
bon nine. Tarlton struck out eight,
walked one, and hit two. Lassen
whitfield five and hit two.
Frank Pooh hit out two two
baggers out of four times up. j..
Andersen, Eddie Berry and Lassen
each made two Dagger and single.
F. Wright hit two singles, and E..
Wright hit the ball five times, being
safe at first on four occasions.
"Mertz, Audubon shortstop, made
two doubles and two singles out of
six times up. Kile, second baseman,
pounded out four singles out of five
trips to the plate. Hoffman, Audi
bon left fielder, clouted homer in
the fifth inning, his only hit of the
game. Roth and /. Kelley were the
only Audubon players who failed to
make one or more safe hits.
''Foltz OF Audubon, and Read Of
Atlantic, officiated. The Audubon
fans were loud in their praise Of
Reads ability as an umpire, and the
Audubon man was equally eff
cient.

A REAL BAsERALL RoosrER

One of the best boosters of the
Griswold baseball team is IN I'M
known man who has been following
the team about wherever it plays.
He is known as the mysterious
stranger"
The gentleman in question drives
a big Buick touring car and so far
as is known there has never been
anyone with him. Regularly at ev-
cry game the team has played on the
home lot the gateman has said,
Thank you" as he collected the
money for the ticket and the strang-
er has passed silently into the
grounds. Whenever the team plays
out of town, IL no other supporter
is along, the team is sure of one
hacker, for he has never missed a
game.
Griswold has won every game so
far and Il has almost become a sup
erstition with the players that IL he
misses a game they will lose. Sc
far he hasn't missed any.

FARM CHILDREN INTERESTED
Bank to Finance Pig Club in Adair
County, Which Challenges State
For Size and Interest.

Adair county farm boys and girls
challenge the state to match their
interest in pig club work. At their
"Pig Club Day. they were allotted
Isl pure bred gifts for their club
work this year and the occasion took
on the nature Of a countrywide fes-
tival. When the time came for dis
tributing the pigs, hundreds of bug
gies, wagons, carts, trucks and auto
mobiles were lined up around the
Adair county fair grounds. All kinds
of pigs were given out; striped pigs,
red pigs, spotted pigs, black pigs,
white pigs, representing the various
breeds, as follows: Poland Chinas,
sixty-seven Give others were added
later); Duroc-Jerseys, forty-seven;
Spotted Polands, seventeen; Chester
Whites, fourteen; Hampshires, six.
They were furnished by forty-three
breeders of Adair county, who Sc
lected one of the choicest individu-
ais from their herds for the boys and
girls.
A uniform price of $40 was placed
on each pig, although some of them
could not have been bought for COM
mercial purposes for less than SIS or
500, so choice were they. To guar
antee fairness in distribution, the
pigs were drawn by lot, each animal
being numbered and corresponding
numbers being pulled out OF hat by
club members. After the pigs were
drawn they were claimed and the air
was full of squeals for an hour or
more and the boys and girls carried
away their prizes in boxes, bags or
crates.
The three Adair banks are back
ing the pig club work of these Adair
county boys and girls, helping them
to finance it.
The pig club work is the first of
the statewide educational work of
Iowa State college and its agricul-
tural extension department in coop
Grafton with the county farm bur-
eaus.
