Writing of the evils of ear strain, to which the people of a large city are always subject, a doctor says: "When the ears have been strained by the noise and confusion of the day they may be refreshed in the eveing by lis tnlng to music or to such other sounds as are restful to them." Perhaps you have noticed the restful effect after a hard day's work when the clock in the street strikes six and the hurdy-gurdy comes around. The St. Lawrence river is an object lesson in water power. An enormous volume can be turned to account by modern methods. And now progres sive Americans and Canadians are uniting in an effort 1o utilize this power. A plan has been formulated which looks to the erection of a dam at Brockville which will drown out the Long Sault rapids and raise the stream at that point 18 inches, afford ing several hundred thousand horse power. Competent engineers have pronounced it wholly practicable. The preliminary report of the de partment of agriculture shows that the corn crop this year is up to a high level and comes near to record-break ing figures. The yield is placed at 2, 767,316,000 bushels, which is nearly a hundred million bushels more than that of 1908. The largest crop of corn ever gathered was that of 1306, which aggregated 2,927,416,000 bush els. At the prevailing prices the corn crop is estimated to be worth more than $1,900,000,000.

McALLASTER READ PAPER Superintendents of 8tate Institutions Favor Executive'a Plan of 8tata Investigating Commission, for the 8tate. Des Moines, Dec. 17.—A lively ar gument was precipitated in the quar terly conference of the state board of control and the superintendents of the state Institutions when Dr. B. R. McAllaster of the Cherokee state hos pital, in a paper read before the con ference, advocated the voluntary ad mission of insane persons to the state hospitals. The question of insanity in the State institutions was the theme lor the morning and Dr. McAllaster said that the state should permit insane persons to voluntarily enter the state institutions. Iiis suggestion raised a storm of protest from several of the conferees, their position being that such a rule would open the way to untold fraud aud injustice. The op ponents of the plan dcerared that in many instances relatives of persons who had money or property, would in dure those persons to voluntarily en ter the state insane hospitals and then while they are confined there, gain control of the money or prop erty. The entire question of insanity was thoroughly discussed and the confer ees commended the position taken by Governor Carroll in a recent ad dress, wherein he advocated the cre ation of a special commission to make a study of insanity among the patients of the state institutions as well as a study of the causes of In sanity in Iowa. Oust Clerk Brown in Emmet County. Des Moines.—The supreme court has ousted C. M. Brown as clerk of the district court of Emmet county and ruled that L. Heffalflnger is the duly qualified clerk for that county. The decision was given in the case of State of Iowa on relation of L. Heffalflnger against C. M. lirown. In the election of 1908 one John Amund aon was elected clerk. He died that month, and the district judge appoint ed Brown as clerk until the vacancy was filled. The board of supervisors at their December meeting selected Heffalflnger as clerk. Heffalflnger de manded that Brown turn ovor the office keys to him. Brown refused and Heffalflnger brought quo warranto proceedings. The opinion of the supreme court, affirming the district court, which held that Brown was not entitled to the office, was written by Justice Weaver. He said that the district court is not authorized by the sta tutes of the state to fill such a va cancy, either temporarily or other wise, and holds that when the su pervisors appointed a man to fill the vacancy caused by Ainundson's death, that any power given Brown by the district court was revoked. Hotel Law Declared Unconstitutional. Des Moines.—Iowa's hotel inspec tion law, providing for a state hotel inspector and requiring fire escapes on all hotels, and appliances for per fect ventilation, is unconstitutional and therefore null and void. This construction was put upon it by Judge McHenry of the district court in an opinion filed in the case of F. M. Hubbell against Lafayette Hig gins, state hotel inspector. The suit was brought to test the constitution ally of the law and argued before the court several weeks ago. Falls From Windmill on Bossy's Back Gravity.— Martin Vandersyle, a wealthy farmer residing near here, fell from a sixty-foot windmill and would have surely been killed had he not fallen squarely on the back of a cow passing below.

Des Moines, Dec. 15.—A serious epi demic of tuberculosis has appeared among the cattle in the state herd at the state Institution at Mt. Pleasant and as a result It has been necessary for the state veterinary Burgeon, Dr. Paul Koto, to order nearly forty bead killed. Dr. Talbot, one of the deputiea, made the test of the state cattle re» cently and nearly forty head respond ed to the test. Dr. Koto at once or dered that tbey be killed. Chairman Cownie and the other members of the state board of control could not believe that such a situation existed and Chairman Cownie went to Mt. Pleasant to be present when the cat tle were slaughtered and the post mortem held. Chairman Cownie has always opposed these tuberculosis tests, claiming that they did not amount to much. At the time the last general test of state cattle was made he became convinced, after the post mortems were held, that there was something to the test. Nevertheless, ho believes that the test made by Dr. Talbot at Mt. Pleas ant is pretty strong and for this reason he deemed it advisable to be present when the post-mortems were held. Dr. Koto said that nearly forty head had responded to the tests. At Eldora recently Dr. Koto applied the tuberculin test to the state herd and found that four cattle responded to the test. These four were among a consignment shipped to the insti tution from Illinois. Prof. Crossley of Ames Quits Job. Ames.—Prof. B. W. Crossleyy of the farm crops department, has re signed. He will go to his home at Council Bluffs February 1 to take up active farm work on his father's farm. The resignation is said to be prompt ed by the illness of his father. The resignation comes as a great surprise. Professor Crossley is recognized as one of the leading experts on corn. He succeeded Professor Bowman, who resigned about a year ago. He has been extremely popular with the Ames students, and his departure from the college will be felt as a distinct loss. Prof. II. G. Bell also of the farm crops depaftmont, is another one of the corps of instructors to resign. Professor Bell goes to the agronomy department of Maine State Agricul tural school. He will ieave January 1. Corn Crop Falls Short. Dubuque.—Special reports receiv ed in Iowa, Minnesota and Illinois show conclusively that the reports of the corn crop are unwarrantedly op timistic. Iowa will have little corn to ship as 25 to 35 per cent is still in the fields, and most of the balance fails to grade better than third. The quantity is small and the quality is exceedingly poor, according to de tailed reports. Dobbins Gets Five Years.

WOULD'! -."'I WILL FIGHT THE STEEL TRUST ORGANIZED LABOR PREPARES TO OPPOSE "OPEN SHOP." Copy of Grievances Is Sent to Presi dent Taft and Governor of States. Pittsburg, Pa—At the close of a momentous two-days' conference here Tuesday, war was formally declared upon the United States Steel cor poration by the leaders of organized labor throughout the United States and Canada. The decision to battle long and hard against the stand taken by the steel corporation in Its policy of "open shop" was reached by the labor con ferees only after hours of debate and a deal of trouble. In a resolution adopted by the na tional labor leaders, organized labor throughout the country is called on to thoroughly and completely organize all employes in the iron, steel and tin plate industry, ordering an assess ment of ten cents per member, rec ommending appointment of commit tees to see the president, congress and the governors for the purpose of lay ing before them the "grievances from which labor suffers at the hands of the steel corporation." At the conference, which passed the remarkable battle decree, Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, presided, and through him the measure was put upon the record books of the execu tive council of the federation. The grievances of organized labor against the steel corporation, as set forth in the resolution, have been for warded to President Taft and the Uni ted States senate and house of repre sentatives. The governors of the states in which the United States Steel corporation owns plants or has interests will also receive a copy of the resolution. The resolution deals principally with the low wages paid the men in the employ of the steel corporation, the hours of work and the general condition of oppression under which the corporation Is alleged to hold Its employes. Thorough organization of all em ployes in the iron, steel and tin plate industry and co-related trades is urged and a call for organizers to assist in the work is made. JOHN W.

COMMITTERS AT WORK Members Are Fully Acquainted with Explorer's Records—Loose-Dunkle Affidavits Create Excitement. Copenhagen.—The meetings of the Cook committee at the observatory are rigorously guarded. The committee Is now fully acquaint ed with the explorer's records and it is said that they contain nothing Dr. Cook could not have compiled after his return, during his five months' stay in Greenland or aboard the Hans Egede, where there was an abundance of voluntary assistance by a scientist versed in exploration, a knowledge of instruments and also of the use of a typewriter. The Loose-Dunkle affidavits have ar rived and are creating much excite ment. Private advices from Christiania state that Nansen, who has hitherto declined to give an opinion, disbe lieves Dr. Cook's claims. New York.—Capt. B. S. Osbon of this city, secretary of the Arctic club, has written Capt. Joseph E. Bernier in Ottawa, Ont., and others tfiat Capt. August W. Loose's story of his dealings with Dr. Cook, as pub lished in a New York newspaper, was concocted for sale without regard to the truth. "In the presence of witnesses," said Capt. Osbon, "I heard Loose say: 'I was out for the money and I didn't care how I got it.'" Capt. Osbon does not believe that Loose's narrative as supported by his affidavits, was a part of any plot to discredit Dr. Cook. "The idea originated with Loose and Dunkle," says Capt. Osbon. "They had for sale matter in this contro versy so explosive that nobody dared handle it. When they found that out, they cast about for something else. Dunkle was the promoter. Loose the workman. Also, Dunkle got most of the money. That's what Loose says, and now he is casting around to see where he stands. He's got a con science and it smarts." SUGAR CO. PAYS $695,573 Arbuckle Bros.
