REGRET ACTION

ciines to Come Fast For a Football
 Battle Next Season.
 New Haven, Dec. 4.--Great disap- pointment is felt in Yale athletic cir cles over the refusal of the Iowa team to come here for football game next fall. The game was one of the most friendly and cleancst of football contests, and the fact that Howard Jones, coach of Iowa, and Tad Jones, coach of Yale, are broth- CTS, added interest.
 The logic of the Iowa stand, how ever, is hard to question, and the agreement between the three Presi- dents will prevent Yale from taking 9 trip out to Iowa City. While no an- nouncement Is made, it is not believed that Iowa will be replaced on the schedule by another Western col lege, and the first, last and only game with the Hawkeyes has been played

Farmer Aid
Plan Urged
by Edison.
Proposes that Government
Issue Money and Equity
Certificates for Value
of Products.

New York, July l6.-Thomas A.
Edison, turning his inventive mind
to economics, has evolved a monetary
plan. the two-fold purpose of which is
to enable the farmer to grow his own
money and to furnish the country
with a non-fluctuating medirm of ex-
change.
He proposes that the government
shall build system OF concrete
warehouses to which the producers
OF basic, non-perishable commodities
derived directly from the earth, pri-
marily food stuffs. but also fibres,
oils, metals and minerals, may bring
their surplus goods for pledge and
storage.
On these commodities, the govern
ment shall forthwith issue currency
up to one-half of what has been their
average value over period ct 25
years, without interest. At the same
time the owner receives an equity
certificate 10 represent the other
half of his commodity. This he may
keep, sell or borrow on at the bank.
1t is the pawn ticket.
May Withdraw Products.
At any time within the year the
holder of this pawn ticket, presenting
it at the warehouse, together with
the exact amount of money issued
upon the commodity when it was
pledged, may withdraw the stuff.
The government then cancels the
money and the transaction is closed.
The period of storage is limited to
one year. Commodities not re-
deemed within a year shall be sold
by the government to reimburse it.
self.
The inventor holds for this plan:
First, that the farmer, with his sud
den, seasonal need for money, will be
self-financing, like the gold miner,
who turns his output into lawful
at the nearest United States
mint and, second, that the money
issued upon such basic commodities
will be an absolutely nonfluctuating
medium of exchange, since it will

Body of Unidentified Man
Taken from River in Iowa

Iowa City. Ia, July 16,-Authori-

identity of the body of a middle
aged man which was taken from
the Iowa river late Saturday after
noon. The condition of the remains
was badly bloated, indicating that
the body had been in the water for
some time, physicians stated. Small
boys playing near the river noticed
the body and notified the police.
There are no marks of violence on
the body, scouting theories that the
man was a victim of foul play.
