ABOARD PRESIDENT HARD.
ING s FUNERAL TRAIN CEDAR
RAPIDS, Iowa, August 6.-The
great heart of the middle west
pulsed in sympathy and sorrow to-
day as the train bearing home the
body of the late President Harding
flashed by countless small stations
in Iowa.
All=through the night and day as
the train maintained terrific speed
on its way across the state, people
stood along the route. There was
not an hour that was not marked
thus by groups of men, women and
children
If ever America's heart was laid
bare it has been in the days of this
first transcontinenta funeral trip of
its kind.
People who stay up all night to
stand at attention as train streaks
by ut sixty miles an hour, are
animated by more than mere cu-
riosity. 1t was nearly 3 Il. m. when
the train got into Omaha, Neb., but
there was a vast throng there,
stretching away into the dim shad-
ows of the night. And then, as
i the train, trying to make up lost
! time, made the rails fairly hum
with its speed.
Party Fear Train Speed
Members of the party were un-
able to sleep because of the trains
| speed. Remembering yesterday s
near wreck at Chappell, Neb., they
feared some mishap. Bpt nothing
happened, except the constant pass
ing of those blurred groups of faces
! in the light of little roadside sta
tions; blurred faces and a flash of
color as the flag was passed.
3 Everywhere the flag was in
: evidence, bound in border of
! Grape.
And so as daylight came they
J gathered in ever increasing num-
bers-at Boone, Ames, Marshalltown,
Tama and at little places in be-
tween, where the train rushed past
so rapidly that the name of the
station was iudistinct.

COUNTY BOARD
WILL PASS ON
DATE STATION
Delegations From All
Sections Expected at
Meeting

Delegations from all parts of the
valley are looked for tomorrow,
when the county supervisors viii
take action on the question of APP
propriating $4,000 for county
owned, government maintained date
experimental station in Imperial
Valley. The plan Of operating the
station, which has been fully ex-
planned in the Press, has received
the endorsement of commercial,
farm and civic bodies throughout
Imperial county, and it is hoped
that the supervisors will take favor
able action on the question of ap-
propriating the necessary funds.
Supervisor Brooks is known TO be
in favor of the appropriation and
two other supervisors stated they
would favor it if they were con
vinced their constituents desired
such action. This would seem to be
the case, judging from the unqual
flied endorsement the movement
has received from the people, as
represented by their various organ
izations.
A comprehensive investigation OF
the expense of operating the ex-
perimental station, has shown that
it can be q money maker for the
county, and any money that IL ap.
propriated at this time will be re-
turned many fold within a very few
years. As a sound business ven,
ture, the experiment station caunot
be beaten, according TO some Of
the keenest business men in the
valley, who hope that the super
visors will see the proposition In It's
right light tomorrow, and vote the
funds necessary to establish this
station.

SIMPLE METHOD TO DEH0RN
Easiest Way to Avoid Trouble With
Wild Bunch 10 to Perform
Task While Young.

The easiest way to avoid the ex-
pense and trouble of dehornlng a
bunch Of wild and more or less unman-
ageable young cattle every spring Is
to do the job while they are baby
calves and easily handled.
When the calf Is three to ten days
old, small buttons can be felt under the
skin where the horns are to be. With
a pair Of shears trim away the hair
around these buttons sand then rub
them with stick of moistened caustic
potash. Continue rubbing until there
is raw spot the size of a bean at the
horn tip. Be careful not to get so much
water on the caustic that 1t will run
down the side Of the face and produce
burns. To protect the fingers, wrap
the stick In paper or insert In a rubber
tube. Some men protect the calf from
unnecessary burns by smearing grease
around the horn outside Of where the
caustic Is to be.
Caustic potassium hydroxide) may
be obtained at any drug store and ten
cents worth is enough to dehorn u
dozen calves.

der present conditions stockers and
feeders often travel hundreds of miles
needlessly. This Is an economic waste
and 1t can be reduced by a strong ma
tional organization such as the Nation

The stocker and feeder distribution
plans include an investigation of num-
Der and kind wanted at each market,
the securing Of such stockers in proper

REMEDY FOR POULTRY MITES
Blood Sucking Parasites Live Entirely

Products Effective.

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture)
OF all parasites affecting poultry,
ordinary poultry mites are probably
the most troublesome and destructive
unless kept under control, says the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture. Unlike the lice, poultry mites
are bloodsucklng parasites and live
entirely ON the blood of the fowl. They
are very small and when not filled
with blood are gray In color and are
called gray mites. However, when
they have been on the body Of the
fowl and filled themselves with blood
they look red and are called red mites.
They do not stay on the fowls body
all the time, like lice, but during the
day hide away in cracks and crevices,
behind boards that are near the roosts,
In the cracks Of brood coops, and In
other places. At night when the fowls
and chicks go to roost the mites come
out of their hiding places, crawl onto
the birds, aid suck the blood from

their nests and spoil their eggs, If they
do not die on the nests, and chickens
become weak and droopy and in many
Instances die from the attacks.
Since poultry mites hide away In
cracks and crevlces during the day,
the first thing that should be done
to get rid of them is to give the poultry
houses, roosts. nests, etc, a good clean

oughly with kerosene, crude oil, or
some effective coal-tar preparation,
making sure that the spray reaches all
the cracks and crevices and every
other place where the mites might
be hiding. This coal-tar preparation
Is most effective and lasts longest. It
can be purchased locally with full
directions for mixing and use. 1t Is
necessary to spray thoroughly and
