Des Moines, Dec. 10.—(Special Tel- egram.)—A _special dtspatch from Brownsville, Tex., says three bat- teries of lowa field artillery will leave the border for home December 12 and the First regiment December 18, The artillery are due to arrive in Des Moines December 15 ‘or 16. The infantrymen will reach Fort Des Moines on December 21 or 22. From three to four days are re- quired for the 1,700-mile trip. Towa’s 500 gunners will probably be enabled by this schedule to spend Christmas at home. The three bat- teries are from Davenport, Clinton and Muscatine. The six days inter- vening between arrival of the two units will enable the batterymen to be mustered out before the infantry troops arrive. Bryan May Be President. William Jennings Bryan of Ne- braska might win the presidency in 1920 on a prohibition platform if the republicans in that year fail to declare for prohibition, in the opinion of Sen- ator Kenyon of Fort Dodge. Bryan’s speech for national prohibition in Washington, D. C,, Wednesday night has caused widespread interest, ac- cording to the reports reaching here. It is the opinion of many that Bryan hopes to get the nomination for pres- ident in 1920 on the prohibition issue. Many laborers are now applying to the state free employment bureau for work: and the bureau has far more men seeking work now than it has jobs for them. Outside work is shute ting down. Corn husking has been finished in most parts of the state and the men who have been husking corn are now asking for other work. During the month|of November the state free employment bureau found positions for all applicants. There weré 157 persons referred to posi- tions. The total number of men ap- plying for work during the month was 148 and the total number of workmen asked for was 145. Atlantic Spends Third of Million On Im_pr_ovements Atlantic, Ia., Dec. 10.—(Special.)— The total amount of improvements in this city since January 1, 1916, has been over $300,000 in public, semi- public and private work. Over $99,000 has been spent for thirty new resi- dences and still there is a scarcity of available renting properties. A con- crete road, half a mile in length, out- side the city limits, was built by popu- lar subscription to the amount of $19,000. Twenty-one blocks of street paving and eight blocks of alley pav- ing have been added at a cost of $37,537.66, bringing the total amount of paving here up to twenty-three miles. The base of the new $25,000 Soldiers’ and Sailors monument is now completed in the city park. The new city hall and fire department building will be ready for occupancy by January 1. The total cost of the building will be $31,500. The $15,000 Cardio hotel building, the $15,000, ad- dition to the Long hotel, the $15,000 Kaplan garage building and the new $30,000 Atlantic hospital will soon be ready for occupancy. The Jones his- pital and the Finley Osteopathic sani- tarium have been remodeled at a cost of about $7,000. Improvements have been made to the Central Iowa Pro- duce plant to the amount of $3,000 and to the Atlantic Auto company to the amount of $4,500. The Purity Ice Cream company has erected a new plant costing $5,000, and the Schrau- ger & Johnson Manufacturing Co., an addition costing in the neighborhood of $5,000. Other smaller improvements bring the total amount spent here on improvements during the year up to over the $300,000 mark. Davenport Police Won't Be Unionized Davenport, Ia., Dec. 10.—Acceding to the protest of the Commercial club and many of the leading citizens of this city, the Davznport police de- partment by unanimous vote tonight decided to drop plans for unionizing the force. Had the plans for unionizing been carried out the members of the force would have affiliated with the Ameri- can Federation of Labor. Stockholders of Carter Lake Club Hold Annual Meeting Vacancies in the directorate were filled and other business of impor- tance transacted at the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Carter Lake club, which was held Friday evening at the Hotel Loyal.

OTHER MARKS IN DANGER With twenty-two days left in the year 1916, all records were quashed yesterday, when it was announced that more head of hogs had been re- ceived at the stock yards since Janu- ary | than during the entire year of 1912, the previous record. The figures show that including Saturday's re- ceipts, 2,890,056 head of hogs have been received this year. The record of 1912 for the entire twelve months shows a total of 2,882,224 head. Experts at the stock yards predict an easy margin of 200,000 head over the high record of 1912, There is hardly little doubt but what the yards will make a mark that will be ‘hard to repeat in years to come. Condi- tions of prosperity arising from the war are the prime causes of the un- loading of this enormous supply of swine on the market. It is thought that the Kansas City mark for the year will be surpassed. At least the run will be close. Last year the local market led the world in sheep receipts. A similar steady rise in sheep receipts has been noticed a: ! it is quite probable that a near record will be established in this department. Cattle are also on the boom, but will hardly outdo the previous record. Two Eighway Robberies. Pedestrians reported two holdups in out-of-the-way districts early last evening. At 7:15 o’clock Tim Mur- ley, Thirty-first and S streets, was stopped by three young men at Thir- ty-second and H streets, and at the point of a revolver was compelled to hand over $1.25, all the change he had in his pocket. Officer Speer in- vestigated and the patrol was into the vicinity of the holdup, but found no clue. ! Later in the evening at 9 o'clotk Guy Fleming, 2711 Monroe street, was held up and robbed of $15 in gold y two negroes at Twenty-seventh and \W streets. g The blacks threat- ened to assault him. They also too his mackinaw overcoat. He reported the theft in person at the police sta- tion. Dan Flynn Dies at Home. Dan Flynn the “weenie-worst” ma- ker of the South Side, proprietor of a lunch counter at Twenty-sixth and N streets for fifteen years, died yes- terday afternoon at his home, 2109 N street. We was 63 years old and probably was one of the best-known characters of “lower N street.” He is survived by a wife and sev- eral children. Pool Balls for Shrapnel. Anton Akromis, proprietor of a pool hall at 3219 Q street, and Morris Lonergan, 3217 South Twenty-fourth street, staged a novel battle in the house of the former Friday afternoon. Pool balls, chairs and most any old thing flew with wonderful rapidity be- fore the police arrived. Both men were attended by physi- cians. The argument, according to Akromis had started when he at- tempted to inform Lonergan that his pool tables were not free of charge. Judge Reed released Lonergan in po- lice court yesterday morning.

He has just returned and brought an alligator to his “frat” brothers, The young hunter says that as a whole the weather was too warm for duck hunting, his particular game. He went to Houston from Omaha and then went up the coast as far as the mouth of the Brasas river, where he camped for about ten days. Very few ducks were to be seen, so he decided to hunt something else. He succeeded in getting four raccoons. He said that the hot weather made him yearn for Nebraska. ) Frank Crawford Tells 0f Demand for Farm 'Produ@_in Canada Frank Crawford spent the week- end here while on his way from Can- ada to Boston, where he will spend the winter with Mrs. Crawford. “The war has served as a great impetus for farming in Canada. There is a strong demand for farm prod- ucts. Wages of farm workers are high. Last season I paid $5 to $5.50 a day. | One of the farm laborers [ had last year is now a prisoner in Westphalia,” said Mr. Crawford. He reports eggs 40 cents a dozen at the farms of Saskatchewan dis- trict, where he has land interests.
