JAIL THREAT FOR FOSTER.
Colorado Adjutant General Promises
 Arrest If Agitator Returns.

Denver. Col, Aug. 1s.-William z. Foster, labor leader, who was elected from Colorado recently under orders of Adjutant General Hamrock, would be jailed immediately if he were to attempt to carry out his alleged an- nounced intention of returning to Denver to address a mass meeting Col. Hamrock announced yesterday.
 T will order Foster placed in jail without a warrant and l will have him kept there, should he come back into the state,' said Hamrock. This would give an opportunity to Foster and his associates to make a test case to determine the legality of the pro- cedure.
 Col Hamrock said his action would be taken on the assumption that it would be legal to arrest any one whose presence in the state would threaten to cause turmoil and strife"
 Foster was arrested by Colorado state rangers Aug. s, shortly after he arrived here from Salt Lake, Utah. He was escorted to the Wyoming state line and ordered not to return to Col orado.

SELF-FEEDERS ARE POPULAR
Devices Eliminate Great Portion Of
Labor Involved and Insure
Uniform Results.

Self-feeders for hogs have come into
great popularity among farmers and
feeders largely because they eliminate
a great portion Of the labor involved
in feeding and insure more uniform
results and gains from the hogs.
Hogs In the wild state were self-fed
animals, living upon such feeds as
would satisfy their appetites, and un.
der domestication they seem to thrive
best when fed by the same principle
The marked success Of the self-feeding
principle of hog raising Is largely due
to the fact that they may eat an
abundance Of those feeds which will
nourish them to the best advantage
The self-feeder should be designed
primarily to keep an available supply
Of grain constantly before the hogs
and at the same time protect the con.
tents against waste due to wind and
rain. A self-feeder consists of hop.
per to hold the feed and trough be-
low 1t into which the grain flows as
the hogs eat 1t. Complete plans for
the Iowa self-feeder can be obtained
from the extension department, Iowa
State college, Ames, Iowa.
