J ; ACRlCtLTURE IN UiCHSCHUOL ComprebemiTS Pita for Teaching Farming in All Parts of the Etata, BILLS SUGGESTED BY JUDGE DEEMER Statement Made that Present II lab School laatraetloa Edarotes Away frosa the Faras laatead of Toward It. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES. Feb. 17. tSpeclal.) A com prehensive plan to teach agriculture in all sections of the state through high schools which will be feeders to the State College of Agriculture at Ames Is etnltodled In bills that bav? been Introduced In both houses of the legislature and of which Judge Horace . E. Deemer of the .supreme court Is the author. The people of Red Oak, Judge Deemer's home, stand ready to do nate a $3u.U0O farm for carrying out the idea. Since the first bill was Introduced others bsve followed and out of the lot It Is quite possible that the thirty-second general assembly may start a compre hensive scheme for educating the youth for farmers. Judge Deemer claims that under present conditions the youth of the state In order to reach the State Agricul tural college must go through the high schools and the high schools educate away f from the farm rather than toward It; they (ducate for the city youth instead of for the farm youth. Judge. Deemer, proposes that at small expense the state can place certain high schools under the supervision of the sgrlcultural college and thus Insure through a special course of study the edu cation of youth for farm life. Judge Deemer holds that It is surprising that the farmers should have thus long toler ated the high school education of their sons and daughters. Jury System Bills. A sub-committee of the house Judiciary committee has been Instructed to prepare an emergency bill that will provide some means by which Iowa and Polk counties, which are now Juryless, may secure Juries and not be without courts for the next two years. It has been decided furthermore to take up the Jury bills, a dozen or more In number, next week and endeavor to press the. passage of a measure that will Insure better satisfaction In the, manner of select ing the Juries. Jackson's Mortsraare Measure. The Jackson bill for the assessment of mortgages as a part of the property mortgaged and to exempt them from direct taxation as moneys and credit was dis cussed by the senate committee on Ways and means. A. F. Call, G.' C. Scott and Mr. Hopkins, all of Sioux City, spoke for the bill; and Marshall Treynor of this city, spoke against it as representing- an outside loaning company. Robert Hanes also spoke and made a plea for the ex emption of all moneys and credits from taxation. The purpose of the bill is to place the Iowa money lenders on an equal ity with those of other states, by having all mortgages treated as a part of the land mortgaged. At the option of the mortgagor there may be a division of the assessment, but the two must be treated as one matter. The committee did not de cide. For Mnnlelpnl Lea-lslatlon. There is every indication at this time that the Iowa legislature will enact some needed municipal legislation. The senate has op for consideration , the blljs sug gested by the Iowa League of Municipali ties and all of them wilt be reported for passage. It Is believed, substantially In the form In which they weae presented to the committees. In addition, the Des Moines plan of government by a commis sion will be taken up this week by the com mittees on municipalities. There is to be a very determined fight against the Des Moines plan bill by the politicians and aa equally big showing made by the business men of this city. There Is also understood to be a movement on to bring to this city persons in Sioux City and Cedar Rapids who want the measure. A big argument In Its favor which the business men will use to advantage Is the fact that i It is optional and cannot be forced upon any community unless the majority of the cltl xens wish It. Making Haste Slowly. The legislature this session may be said to be making haste slowly. Beginning to morrow morning the sessions will begin at o'clock Instead of at 10, and something more like speed may be attained. But al though the houses are both moving without any hysteria, they are getting away with a great deal of legislation and there has been a revival of the gossip that the legislature will adjourn by March 20 The entire dis position of this legislature is to do things and do them In a way that makes little fusa There Is a hearing one day on a bill and the next the bill Is reported out and passed. Just as was done with the 2-cent fare bill In the house. Before a btll or proposition has time to gather much force and give the reporters time to tell news about It. and before the politicians hsve time to start anything, It Is passed by both bouses and has the governor's signature. Bryan for Postal Vote. At the recent democratic luncheon In honor of Hon. W. J. Bryan of Nebraska It la understood Mr. Bryan suggested the feasibility of a postal vote on election day for cltlxens unavoidably away from home. Grave Unestlon to Settle. Ought a police Judge to be a Judicial officer or a part of the administrative force of the city? That Is a question which is bothering some of the legislators. The question came up in connection with the series of bills that have b;en pre sented on behalf of the League of Munici palities. One provision was a change which would make police Judges subject to ap pointment of a mayor and subject to re moval by hlra without cause. Mayor Wil liams of Oakaloosa, who presented the mat ter on behalf of the league, frankly ad mitted that it was for tbe purpose of hav ing the mayor and police court in harmony so that they would never be tempted to pull apart and defeat Justice. But legislators present at the hearing questioned the wisdom of placing power In the mayor over the courts that administer Justice under ordinances. The general bill of the league looks to greatly enlarging the powers of tbe mayor and making bis office more of an executive office, while the council becomes more of a legislative position. The bill would re duce the number of wards In second clars cities to five or less and have one alder man for each ward with two at large; In towns, five coundlmen. all elected at large. Town mayors would not be coundlmen. Bi ennial municipal elections are provided. En gineers, physicians and street commission ers would be appointed by the mayor, and In cities under 1000 the council would choose the solicitor. Town clerks would In all cases be chosen by the council. Other bills considered relate to making a board of public works . free, from Influence of tbe council; to forbid treasurers to loan out public money for private gain; to In crease tbr possible tax levy for sewer pur poses la certain cities. rThe prevision that the mayor of a city should appoint the police Judge, and that S-UV appointive officers could be summarily recaovadi by the appointive power, caused some spirited dlsriisxlon. One point made tn Its favor' was that In t- ns snd cities of the second clas the mayor snd Judge sre one and the same, and the plan sug gested would come near to having this sanw condition m first class cltlea The lesgue has given a great deal of care to the preparation of these bills and they are being urge UVm the legislature with much force ss necessary to harmonise the laws of tha state. The State's Bla Farms. Iowa Is today one of the biggest bonsnxa farmers In the world. The state owns thous ands of acres which are used for agri cultural purposes, and there Is a tendency rather to Increase the seres and not dlmin Ish. A legislative committee hss embodied In a formal report a recommendation as to these farms, which will attract a good deal cf attention. It ' contemplates making use of every one of these farms practically as a model farm for experiment work and for development of the very highest there Is In agriculture. The report 1 that of the com mittee which visited the Bldora school and. referring to the farms, the report says: "We suggest that the scentlfic knowledge the state has at Ames be applied to the farming of these premises and. If possible, mnke them more productive. We believe the great agricultural Interest of the state should produce stock for use at the state Institutions, and- that the farms operated by the state should he brought under th Influence thereof and become models of scientific sgrlcultural operations SS well as a source of greater Income." The plan contemplates some sort of gen eral supervision of the doxen big farms the state owns by specialists from the agricultural college, to the end that Iowa not only have big farms, but the best farms In the world. The report also recommends regarding this boys' Industrial school that the worst elements be segregated from the others, nlso that a railroad connection be formed, but' that the administration building 1 sufficient for the present to give hospital accommodations. Appropriations approved by the committee aggregate $3,500. Opticians Want n Law. A hill has been prepared and Its passage will be strongly urged In a short time pro viding for a board to examine professional opticians and to Issue certificates, much after the manner of the boards to examine dentists, veterinarians and others. It con templates no expense" to the state, but the graduate opticians of the state, who hive become numerous, eel that their profes sion should, be put on a par with others. Cats Oaf the Lawyers. According to Pension Agent Wlllcox of tbe Des Moines office, the lawyera are to be rat out of the pension business under the new service pension law. Under the old law If an old soldier wanted a pension he had to hire a lawyer to present his case to the pension bureau. Under the new law a lawyer is unnecessary. Blanks are fur nished by the pension -office in this cltv. This blank properly filled out and sworn to will bring a pension. It Is only neces sary under the new law to show proof of service In the army or navy and the age to get the pension. An old soldier 62 years old gets (12 a month and one 70 years old gets 115 per month Snd 75 years or over ta) per month. Many Conventions Coming. Des Moines the coming week Is the meet ing place for' many conventions. The Iowa Retail Clothiers' association, the Iowa Re tall Hardware Dealers' association, the Iowa Retail Furniture Dealers' association, the Iowa Retail Merchants' association all meet in this city, ihe .clothiers and furni ture dealers will "be1 at the Chamberlain hotel, the hardware" -dealers at the Shrine temple and thenrtirViJlia nts ' at Our Circle halL ' ' Evans to Leave Service.

BIG NINE RULES SOMEWHAT MODIFIED Conference Track Meet Will Be HelU at Kansas City I nlversltr of Kebraska Was !Mot Rep resented. KANSAS CITY, Feb. 17. (Special Tele- gTam.) Representatives of the rthletlc boards of Washington, Kansas, Iowa and Missouri universities met here yesterday in the second gathering of the Missouri valley conference of faculty representa tives. The organisation had been termed tbe "Big Five," but Nebraska does not seem to care for the scheme, and It now looks as though the organization would be formed with four universities. When the representatives met hers last month ' rules were drawn up. practically Identical with the Chicago conference rules. It was found, however, that several of the universities did not care for as strict a code as that used by the "Big Nine," and at the meeting yesterday the rules were somewhat modified, and now the repre sentatives believe that none of the athletic boards concerned can have any objection to Joining the Missouri valley conference. The men who were here yesterday will present the rules to their respective ath letic boards, and if all the universities con cerned accept the code, the Missouri valley conference of faeulty representatlvea will be considered formed. It will settle all disputed points that may arise between members of the conference. It will hold a conference track meet in Kansas City In the spring of IP". The object of- the body will be to boost college athletics in the Missouri valley. WITH THIS BOWLERS, The Krug Parks won three games from Judy's Stars on the Association alleys Sunday afternoon.

Omaha sports prefer the eatch-as-catch-can wrebUlug style to the Graeco-Roman, snd with good reason. In catch-aa-catch-can wrestling every known trick of trip ping, toe holds and all sorts of leg work are brought Into pity, while In the old Greek-Roman stylo no hold of any de scription is permitted below the waist line. It is simply a tug and a twist above the belt, whereas in the catch-as-catch-can matches, seat Is added by tbe strife for advantage by twisting the legs and grab bing a toe hold. In speaking of Simmers, the strong man who wrestled here a week ago, Waaem said: "Simmers is one of the strongest men on the mat today, and when he braces himself on the defensive It Is almost im possible to move him. The anly way you can handle that fellow la to get him ' to coming at you and then get to htm.' for when he braces himself to stop you trohi doing a certain thing you might as well strive to move a house."
