TO JUDGE TOMORROW

The Hamilton county corn show
and the poultry show by the Hamil-
ton County Poultry association both
opened this morning the first i'll the
city hall and the second in the room
west of the Hamilton County State
bank. Both are creating considerable
interest and large entry lists are ex-
.pected.
Although it was announced that en-
tries in both shows would close at
noon, it was understood that the time
would probably be extended in the
case of the corn show, owing to. a
number of requests from exhibitors
who found it impossible to reach the
city by that time. At noon approxi-
matcly 800 ears were entered.
Two hundred and fifty entries had
been received in the poultry show at
an early hour this morning and a
large number Of the birds were on
hand. Early predictions were that
there might be between 400 and JOO
birds Oh exhibition.
Judging in both shows will take
place tomorrow. Harry Lapp, OF
Ames, will Judge the poultry and h.
II. Porter, Of Ames. the corn. Pro-
grams Of both shows call for discus
sions by these men of matters OF in
terest to exhibitors.

Ioxe,s Victory.

"Love matches, instead of marriages
of convenience, have come into their
own of late" said eugenist.
"France is the home Of the mar
riace of convenience. All French up
per and midde-class marriages are
or. rather, were-arranged by the par
ents. Result: Only one or two sick
~ children, or else no children at all.
"France fought the World war with
the children Of her peasantry-splen-
did fellows, the fruit of love matches.
The falling birthrate Of France, it is
now perceived, was due to the mar
rage of convenience that prevailed
among all other ranks.
$50 now France has abandoned the
marriage of convenience in favor Of
the real kind Of marriage. and when
II is abandoned by France its doom is

THIEVES STRIP MOTOR
ice COMPANY MACHINE
All Movable Parts Taken
From Engine on Ice
Cutter.

Thieves sometimes during last night
stole all removable parts of the Ford
engine used by dublin & Garth to
operate theig ice cutter which is now
working on the river above the ice
house.
The carbureter, both manifolds.
wiring. coil box and spark plugs were
taken. The robbers thoughtfully shut
off the gasoline before beginning
operations and thus saved. the COM
pany further loss.
New parts were purchased this
morning and work continued.
The culprits in this affair possibly
were attempting to equal the unusual
larceny of somebody who recently
stole pump and some fifty feet of
pipe from the well Of a residence on
the east side. The house is owned
by G. w. Lee and is at present unOc-
cupied. The pump and pipe were in
stalled for use and the thieves sure
ly went to some trouble in pulling it
up out of the ground and carrying it
off.

Iowa City. Iowa, Jan. 9.-Successful

ogy at the University of Iowa here
Praying for rain has been practiced
for thousands of years, but it is only
in recent times that science mas made
any serious study Of the possibilities
of rainmaking, he asserts.
According to the educator, in most
clouds the particles of condensed water

Suggests Three Ways.

Three different methods are suggest
ed by DR.. Trowbridge. Dust scattered
into cloud from balloon or airrlane
would collect the moisture around each
dust particle until it might become
heavy enough to fall. The generation
of giant electric spark in the nature
of artificial lightning between two
balloons would cause the particles OF
moisture to jar together and in this
way produce rain. Cooling the air in
the cloud by scattering powdered ice
might have similar result. since the
temporal re change would cause more
rapid condensation.
In any case. says DR.. TrOwbridge, 1t
is. necessary to have clouds to work
with, since even the most optimistic
meteorological does not expect to pro-
duce rain from clear sky.

HOW TO RAISE
/ MOE FAT ronKER

How much grain does 1t take 10 make a nice fat porker-one that will bring a return when butchered in the fall and not just equal the amount of It's board bin during the fattening period?
 Here Is table worked out by a county agent from results of experiments in Maine, which shows. how much grain 1t takes to add a pound of flesh to the porker's sides
 : :. From the time tho pig is weaned un:il it weighs about 50 pounds t. takes from three to three and. one-half pounds of grain to make ons- half pound of pork. When the animal weighs from 50 to 100 pounds 1t takes. from three and one-haif to four pounds of grain to make one pound gain in the porker's weight. An animal weighing from. 100. to 15o pounds requires, from four to i've pounds Of grain to make pound oe pork. and when the animal reaches the 150&2o0- pound stage its takes from fivs to seven pounds of grain to make one pound of pork. When the animal gets above 200 pounds in weight the amount Of grain necessary to- make one-pound gain varies from five. to IT pounds of grain.
 Porkers are like some. people in that when they reach a acertain weight no mat ter how much grain they are fed, they will not put on much more flesh, The county agent advises that the time to make the most from pork. is to sell the porker before 1t reaches 200 pounds
