Iowa GOOD RECORD BY IOWA COWS Twenty-Nine Test Forty-Two Pounds or More of Batter Fat BELIEVE THEY HAVE RIGHT Mrnbrn Think Board Is F.xtrv cant nd Coal Oet Along Jfteelr with lss MOMfi Some of the councilman favor rescinding the action of the clt council last week In panning the levy of JH tnilla for the park fund and cutting the levy to at leant 2 mills, if not to IV mill. Those council men who are In favor of reconsidering the action of last week contend that the stat utes make II discretionary with the city council whether It ahall approve the full amount asked to be levied by the park. In support of their position they cite section sffl-c. supplement of the code of 1WT7. which reads as follows: The board shall, on or before the first nay or AU;ili mwr.n yrr, ubi iiimr Ik the amount or rate not exceeding 2 mills fth Thirty-third General Assembly amended to make this read 24 mills) on the dollar In all cities and towns on the valuation of such city or town to be levied, elected and appropriated for the ensuing year, for park purposes, and shall cause the same to be certified to the city or town council. 'Which shall levy suoh ta or so much thereof as It may deem neces sary to promote park Interests, and certify the per cent thereof to the county auditor, and the other taxes for said year. The law governing the park levy, the councllnien Insist, Is perfectly plain and unquestionably makes It discretionary with the ilty council as to the amount that shall he levied. It Is expected that the matter will be brought tip at the meeting of the city council tonight Trrsasrer'i Statement. "With over $7,000 at present in the park fund. I fall to see the necessity of levy ing ti mills for the maintenance of the parks for , the ensuing year," said City Treasurer True. "In my optnlon t mills would be ample to levy, and if the Park board would only practice a little economy, I feel sure that It could get along nicely with the revenue from a levy of lVj mills." Like City Treasurer True, some of the counetlmen are of the opinion that It would be to the benefit of the taxpayers if the Park board would practice a little economy In Its expenditures. Last year the board expended over $3,000 In the erec tion of a cement , block building in Fair mount park which President Oraham termed a "rest house." This year the board la expending a large sum In con structing a private water system for Fair mount park. Another Instance of the man ner In which the park funds are expended is the modern residence erected In Fair mount park at a cost of exceeding W.OflO, which olnce the day It was compW-ted has been occupied by the family of a nephew of Commissioner Oraham at a rental of only $1.V) a year. 8ome of the council men who have been looking Into the expenditures of the park board take exception to the payment out of the park funds for the private residence telephones of the three members of the park board. The telephone at the Fair mount park cottage, occupied by Mrs. Oliver., to-alae paM out of the park funds.

Greater Iowa dab Visionary. The scheme of the Greater Iowa club to Import Jewish, Italian and Swiss farm ers to Iowa In order to show the Iowa farmers '"how to do it," is branded as visionary by the Wallace Farmer, pub lished in this city. Henry Wallace, the editor, was one of the members of Roose velt's Country Life commission. He points out that there are no Jewish farmers worth mentioning. In the first place and no Italian farmers outside or me smaii fruit districts of the south and that 8wlss farmers are as scarce as hen's teeth. He Intimates that it will not be surprising If the Oreater Iowa club, which has been organized for the purpose of exploiting Iowa, should take up visionary' projects at times and says the farm problems of Iowa will sooner be settled by farmers than through any other source Teachers Go West. State Superintendent J. F. Riggs believes Iowa school directors must raise the wages of teachers considerably higher than they are now If lowa la to keep the best teach ers. "Western cities are bidding for Iowa teachers. Iowa spends money to educate them and they go west to get the better wanes." said Mr. Riggs today "Thare are usually 3,000 to 4,000 more certificates out standing from Iowa than there are teachers employed In the state. It Is poor economy for us to maintain fine educational instltu tlons and then not pay sufficient wages to keep the best of our teachera In the state. Wants Chnntanqnav Ratine.

MITCHELL, S. P., Aug. 15.-(Fpeclal.) Mitchell will have the biggest musical at traction for the corn palace this year that It has had In Its history. A contract was completed by wire today for securing the United States Marine band during the week of the palace, giving concerts each after noon and evening In the palace building. The arrangements were concluded with Lieutenant Santelman by Secretary Ness, who went to Washington for that purpose. To secure the band for the week of the palace It was necessary to secure the aid of Senator Gamble to Intercede for the palace committee, as the band had two en gagements for the same week, one of which was at the White House to play for Presi dent Taft, and the other was at the capital. The dates, however, were cancelled and the members of the band given a furlough to come out to Mitchell to play the engage ment. The band will come direct from Washington to Mitchell and will play no other engagement on the way out. The band Is an expensive proposition and costs the committee $2,000 more than any other musical organization that has played at the palace, and there have been some good ones, among whom were Sousa twice, Sor rentlno twice, Phlnney's band twice, and several big eastern bands. The com palace dates are from September 37 to October X them In every part of the game Cava naugh's pitching, allowing only two hits and the fielding of t'lsrk and Pagan and the lone drives of Jenks and Tat Kenne.lv for home runs were the feature of the game HsttTies: Union Stock Yards.

Aug. 16. (Special.) Resi dents of western Sully county are consider ably stirred over land troubles which some one Is developing. In the early days of settlement of the 'Missouri valley, a large per cent of the final proofs were what was known as "shack proofs," the residence not being aa close as Is required at the present by the government. It Is safe to say that over half the final proofs east of the Mis souri river in South Dakota and eastward were of this class. Now some one Is re porting such proofs In Sully county, some of them running back for years, and the land having been patented years ago, has been transferred in some cases a number of times. On the reports made to the gov ernment a special agent has been In that section of the country for some time mak ing investigations. Just what the outcoms will be Is, of course, unknown. While it is not likely that there will be any final can ceflatlons, the stir may cause trouble to some of those who made final profjf many years ago, ana cause mem 10 go into court. In that case It would be hard to get a Jury which would set aside title. Has Wife Arrested, Them Ski. PIERRE, S. D Aug-, 15. (Special.) The officials of Stanley county were last week called upon to arrest Mrs. 'C. M. Whltte more, who lived about twenty miles south of Fort Pierre, on a complaint of her husband, who accused her of being men tally Incapable, and threatening the lives of ber husband, their son and herself. The woman was brought to town, and as soon as she had gone the husband proceeded to dispose of property on the farm and skipped for Galesburg, III. The officers de cided that tha whole move was a play on the part of Whlttemore to get away with the property, and have gone after him on a charge of wife desertion. The woman, who is left practically destitute, shows no evidence whatever of Insanity. Special Gi!smra Fares In Grand Trnnk Railway Syateaa Snmmer, 1909, Chleasro to Montreal and return, $20.00.
